The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

The independent regiment now still has 7 battalions, but each battalion has 600 people.

In terms of heavy weapons, the first three main battalions each had nine heavy machine guns, and the first battalion was strengthened to 3, with 9 light machine guns;

The last four ordinary battalions each had four heavy machine guns and 4 light machine guns.

111 grenade launchers and 20 mortars were divided into three grenade launcher battalions and one mortar reinforced company to provide close-range fire support.

11门步兵炮跟2门意大利炮、6门75山炮，组成1个步兵炮营跟一个山炮简编营，做远程炮火支援。

Together with the cavalry company, engineering company, direct-affiliated company, special service company, guard company, reconnaissance company and special forces team, the army is strong in both men and horses.

The only drawback is that the four tanks can only be driven skillfully and are far from being capable of combat.

The armor of the Azuki tank was weak to begin with, and could be destroyed by any mountain cannon or even explosive packs. In addition, the Japanese also had anti-tank guns, so it could not be driven flexibly, and moving around slyly would be a death sentence.

Fortunately, we had a good teacher named Zhang Wu (system). In just one month, he trained 50 tankmen, including 20 from independent regiments and 30 from brigade headquarters.

It’s already good enough, what else do you need a bicycle for?
"No matter what, we don't have much fuel, and Iron Turtle is not suitable for long-distance raids in the Japs' lair. If we want to ambush them without anyone noticing, we have to rely on our own two legs to crawl through the mountains!"

The independent regiment was reorganized, but the tanks were still unable to assist in combat. Li Yunlong did not care at all. He said to Zhao Gang with full confidence:
"The two months stipulated by the brigade commander is up, it's time to show off our regiment's equipment!
Lao Zhao, send the specific firepower configuration of our regiment to the brigade commander and tell him that the independent regiment is ready for battle. I, Li Yunlong, have the confidence to kill any Japanese detachment. Please ask the brigade commander to assign combat tasks! "

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Okay, I'll send the message right away!"

After receiving the telegram from the independent regiment, the brigade commander was not surprised, but looking at the huge number of heavy weapons on it, he couldn't help but sigh:
"My goodness, Li Yunlong is still developing fast. He suffered the most losses in the beginning. Now, the New 4000st Regiment has 3000 people, the New nd Regiment has people, and the number of heavy weapons cannot be compared with his!

Look at his grenade launcher mortar battalion. Others have 10 or 12 mortars in a battalion, but he has 36 mortars in a battalion!

No wonder whenever a group fails, the boss always thinks of him first!

Without relying on the superiors to allocate a single gun or bullet, relying solely on his own captured weapons, he can become the best firepower unit in your brigade or even your division in the shortest possible time! "

"Yes, Li Yunlong has a flexible mind and can think outside the box!"

The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement:

“However, if he is able to develop so quickly, it takes more than just a quick mind!

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

I think he mainly relies on Zhang Wu!
Only with Zhang Wu, a strategic-level sharpshooter, could he make up for his initial lack of firepower, allowing him to use equal forces, or even win with fewer troops, to kill the Japanese in one fell swoop!
The battles of Caoshanliang in Heyuan and Longmenling in Luyang were all like this!"

"Yes, Zhang Wu is really great!"

Speaking of Zhang Wu, the brigade commander raised his lips slightly, nodded with satisfaction and laughed:
"This time they trained 30 tank soldiers for us. Haha, when we capture enough iron turtles, we can also launch a tank charge against the Japanese during the counterattack!
Damn it, let them also taste the steel torrent!"

“That day is definitely not far away!”

The Chief of Staff said firmly:

"The Japanese are getting worse and worse. Their military strength is already stretched to the limit. Only two months after the 2th Brigade left, Yulin, Liaoyang, Heyang, and four or five counties in southeastern Shanxi were all back in our hands.

Not only in southeastern Shanxi, but also in northwest Shanxi, the garrison regiment in Luyang was not replaced, and the Japanese in Shuiquan entered Heyuan, leaving Shuiquan empty.

Nowadays, the little devils are like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, and each year is getting worse than the last! "

"Then let's speed him up again!"

The brigade commander returned to the topic and looked at the chief of staff:

"Has the Special Committee received the intelligence about the two Japanese detachments?"

"arrive!"

The chief of staff spread out the map and pointed to the north and south and said:

"According to intelligence, the Japanese 29th Brigade has been split up, and the two newly formed detachments have arrived at the attack position.

Among them, the Shentian Detachment arrived at Wukou County, just south of the New Second Regiment’s base, and the Shanshang Detachment arrived at Taigu County, northeast of the New First Regiment.

The two detachments were formed in a hurry, leaving 10 days for repair. After 10 days, they will launch an attack on the positions of the New st and New nd Regiments at the same time. The planes from Linfen and Taiyuan are already in place and will support them from the air. "

The Chief of Staff then began to analyze:

"Looking at the size of the two detachments, in addition to the standard field regiment and full-strength battalion, there is also a 2mm field artillery reinforced squadron, a tank squad, and an armored vehicle detachment, reaching a total size of 75 people.

For two detachments of this size, it should be more than just a feint attack. Once they find the opportunity, the feint attack will probably turn into a main attack!

They will definitely not miss the opportunity to eat up our main force!"

"The Japanese have a big appetite, but they want to eat our main force? Humph, they still need a good pair of teeth!" The brigade commander snorted coldly and gave the order directly:
"The New 772nd Regiment plus the nd Regiment next to it will definitely not be able to stop the Shentian Detachment, so let Li Yunlong go.

Give him the specific intelligence and weapons configuration of the Japanese and let him choose the ambush location independently.

As for the mountain detachment, leave it to the New 771st Regiment and the st Regiment. Let them preserve their strength and fight back step by step. If there is no chance, they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack! "

After a pause, the brigade commander continued:

"The Japanese planes may conduct reconnaissance in advance, so let the New 772nd Regiment and the nd Regiment carry on as usual. We can't let the Japanese see the flaws and ruin the Independent Regiment's plan!
Once the Japanese troops on the periphery begin their attack, it's time for the elite Japanese troops that have infiltrated to take action. Let the regiment guarding us be prepared and strictly implement Zhang Wu's tactics to kill at least half of them.

Then notify the guards at the headquarters to strengthen the defense!"

The Chief of Staff nodded:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements!"

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly:
"Haha, the main attack mission belongs to our independent regiment!"

Zhao Gang forced a smile, but his face was full of worry:
"Old Li, we should be happy that we have won the main attack mission, but the Fukada Detachment is not so easy to deal with!
He was split from the 29th Brigade, the main field force of the Japanese army. He has tanks and armored vehicles, as well as a field artillery reinforcement squadron. He is the elite of the Japanese army's elite, and he also has planes in the sky..."

"What the hell are you elites? I'm fighting elites!"

Li Yunlong interrupted him directly, looked at him with one eye wide and one eye small and said:
"What are you afraid of? I, Li Yunlong, don't even take a small Japanese detachment seriously!

The number of heavy weapons in our regiment is no less than his, and we have Zhang Wu to back us up, and we also obtained intelligence in advance. The Japanese are here to congratulate our independent regiment on its wealth!
Don't complain that the spoils are too much and you can't record them all! "

Hearing this, Zhao Gang felt much better. He looked at Li Yunlong and scolded him with a smile:
"You can be a group leader. No matter what kind of opponent you encounter, you can always look down on the enemy strategically and dare to draw your sword when you meet the enemy!"

"That is!"

Li Yunlong shook his head proudly, then waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. We only have 10 days, and 3 days will be spent on the journey. We don't know if the Japanese planes will conduct reconnaissance in advance, so we can't waste time!
Quickly notify all cadres above the company level to come to the meeting. Confirm it today and set off tomorrow night!

You will have to work hard these two days. Lead your direct company to help the common people and our logistics to hide in the mountains. The four Iron Turtle Tanks also need to be camouflaged. We have to be on guard against sudden raids by the Japanese!"

Knowing the importance of the matter, Zhao Gang agreed directly:

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Another fight?
After receiving the notice, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. He immediately ended today's teaching class and rushed to the regiment headquarters.

During this period of time, he was almost bored to death from teaching driving skills every day. He couldn't wait to kill a few more Japanese devils to relieve his boredom!

When he arrived at the regiment headquarters, he greeted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and soon all the cadres above the company level arrived.

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to read out the intelligence and equipment of the Japanese, as well as the brigade commander's orders. He glanced at everyone, spread out the map and said:

"Comrades, this time we ambushed a total of 6000 Japanese soldiers, with a lot of light and heavy weapons, as well as iron slings, field artillery, and airplanes. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

Zhang Dabiao immediately straightened his chest and said:
"No doubt about it. With such a good opportunity, we will definitely beat the hell out of those Japanese!"

"That's right, the elite Japanese are nothing special, we are fighting against the elite!"

"That's right. We have even destroyed a Japanese brigade before. What's a small detachment to us?"

Is this the follow-up of Yamamoto’s special forces team going from Anhua County to the northwest?
Zhang Wu understood the Japanese's true intentions in an instant. The larger the scale of the battle, the more he liked it!

Thinking that he would definitely be able to level up this time, he also shouted:

"Kill the Japs!"

Seeing that people were eager to fight, Li Yunlong felt relieved and took all the cadres to start working on the map of the Wukou County to Kongjie defense zone, looking for suitable ambush points.

With Zhang Wu's assistance, after discussing several necessary routes for the Japanese to take, they finally selected the ambush point - Fangshiling, the remnant of Ziya Mountain.

Fangshiling is 10 kilometers long and runs from north to south. Although the mountains on both sides are only 100 meters away from the road and the terrain is not steep enough, the shooting range is wide, which is suitable for an ambush of 5000 people.

There is a mountain stream where soldiers are hiding in the rear, and there is a 160-degree arc in the middle, which makes it easy to concentrate firepower. Even if the Japanese planes discover them in advance, it is easy to adjust to blocking attacks.

There are still endless mountains behind us. If the enemy cannot be defeated, the independent regiment can easily evacuate from the mountains.

After determining the ambush point, Li Yunlong began to assign specific combat tasks...
