The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"We must make good use of the arc in the middle to divide the Japs into three sections!"

Li Yunlong pointed to the arc in the middle of Fangshiling and said:
"The 1st and 7th Battalions will form the front, the 2nd and 6th Battalions will form the rear, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Battalions will be in the middle. Wait for the Japanese to enter the ambush circle, and then follow my signal flares and fire at the same time. We must take away thousands of Japanese lives in the first wave!"

"Yes!"

All the battalion and company commanders of the infantry battalions stood at attention and puffed out their chests.

Li Yunlong then looked at the battalion commander of the grenade launcher battalion:

"You should still form groups of three guns and companies to provide fire support behind each infantry battalion.

We don't know when the Japanese planes will come. Prepare the smoke bombs and follow my orders to change them. You can also provide cover for Zhang Wu!"

"Yes!"

All the battalion and company commanders of the grenade launcher battalions stood at attention and puffed out their chests.

Li Yunlong is looking at Liang Shuisheng:
"Shuisheng, your artillery battalion should be placed at 1 kilometer this time to provide long-range artillery support! First set the artillery parameters, bomb three rounds, and then adjust at any time according to my orders.

Our Zhang Wu's attack range is limited, so we can only attack one at a time. When the time comes, your cannon will be the first to attack!"

"Yes!"

Liang Shuisheng added confidently:

"Captain, my artillery battalion has the fewest recruits and is basically led by veterans. Temporary adjustments, whether it's volleying or dispersing into a single point, can be completed within 1 minutes!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, he nodded to him, and finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, the special forces should continue to provide fire support to various locations. As for you, I will give you 300 rounds of bullets this time. Go attack the Japanese headquarters and Iron Turtle first.

If planes come, just shoot them. I will have each infantry battalion draw out three machine guns to form a trap and drive the Japanese planes towards you.

Then we will attack the Japanese field artillery reinforcement squadron and mountain artillery squadron!
These two squadrons are too threatening and must be eliminated as soon as possible. I will have each battalion prepare 300 rounds of ammunition for you. If you don't have enough, feel free to ask them for more!"

"Leave the bullets to us!"

The other battalion commanders all made assurances and said to Zhang Wu:

"Zhang Wu, the Japanese field artillery and mountain artillery bombarded a large area, and our attack speed was too slow. We couldn't suppress it as thoroughly as you did!"

"Yes, whether we can reduce the casualties of our regiment depends on you, Zhang Wu!"

Hearing what people said, Zhang Wu smiled, patted his chest and assured:

"Don't worry, leave the Japanese's field artillery and mountain artillery to me. I will never let them act arrogantly in front of us!"

"Good job! This is really encouraging!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and said again:
"After we kill these two squadrons of the Japanese, follow my orders to support the front battlefield and deal with the heavy firepower of other Japanese. Help our regiment take down the Japanese detachment as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu also stood at attention and puffed out his chest.

Nodding to Zhang Wu, Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and finally reminded:

"The Japanese may have sharpshooters. Keep your platoon leaders and squad leaders in check. This includes you all. Stop making those little command gestures. You are not allowed to salute when you mobilize your troops!"

"Yes!"

All officers and soldiers stood at attention with their chests puffed out.

Li Yunlong then hummed with satisfaction:
"Okay, there's nothing else to say. Let's go down and get ready. We'll set off tomorrow night."

Everyone agreed again and then filed out.

Next, the independent regiment reported its battle plan, distributed ammunition, prepared 10 days of dry food and water, covered the logistics and the people going into the mountains, and so on, in preparation for departure.

In the evening of the next day, when he heard the assembly call, Zhang Wu put on his bulletproof vest and tactical gloves, loaded the 300 rounds of bullets he had received, put his pistol and dagger on his waist, put on a ghillie suit, and then picked up the Carl 98K and went to the assembly point.

After everyone arrived, Li Yunlong made a brief pre-war mobilization. In fact, he didn't even need to mobilize them. With Zhang Wu's previous role model, the soldiers were already eager to fight the Japanese.

Seeing that the morale was good, Li Yunlong waved his hand with satisfaction and led the independent regiment to leave Zhaojiayu in batches and head to Fangshiling in Ziya Mountains under the cover of night.

There was no conversation on the way. After three days of forced march, hiding during the day and moving at night, the independent regiment arrived at Fangshiling.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to lead the officers and soldiers to walk through the entire Fangshiling first to check if there were any discrepancies in the terrain so that he could make fine adjustments based on the actual situation. Then he saw Kong Jie and Cheng the Blind who were waiting for him.

Li Yunlong was very smart. He understood their intentions in a second and said deliberately:
"Hey, Kong Erlangzi, Cheng Xiazi, what brings you two here?"

"What else could it be?"

Blind Cheng said unconvincedly:
"You have taken all our missions. We have to cooperate with you and not make any unusual moves. You must be upset and come here to see what you are capable of!"

As he said this, he glanced at the crowd of soldiers of the Independent Regiment behind Li Yunlong, and a jealous expression emerged on his face: "Li Yunlong, you are so lucky to have a soldier as good as Zhang Wu, otherwise your Independent Regiment would not have developed so fast, and your Independent Regiment could ask the brigade commander to let you carry out missions even though you are more than 100 kilometers away!"

"Haha, Zhang Wu is my soldier, there's no point in you being jealous!"

Li Yunlong was amused by his jealous expression. He was not angry at all. Instead, he added fuel to the fire and said smugly:
"Blind Cheng, I taught you how to fire a gun step by step back then. Do you want me to teach you how to train good soldiers again today?"

Blind Cheng's face turned black and he was speechless.

Kong Jie couldn't help laughing beside him, and he quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Old Li, it's normal for Blind Cheng to be jealous. Zhang Wu is such a good soldier. Go ask around in our 129th Division, or even the 120th Division or the 115th Division. Who wouldn't be jealous that Zhang Wu is your soldier?
We have reported this to the brigade commander, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find you!
This time we came to learn from you, to learn your ideas about large-scale combat operations, Li Yunlong, you can't hide it!"

Blind Cheng's expression finally relaxed.

"Haha, easy to say!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said:
"But you can't watch for free. The performers on the overpass have to pay for their performances! I don't want much, just two bottles of Fenjiu per person. Isn't that a high price?"

Blind Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked the guard to bring two bottles of wine. While handing them to Li Yunlong, he said to Kong Jie with emotion:
"You still understand him!"

Kong Jie smiled slightly, and also asked the guard to bring two bottles of Fenjiu, and said in return:
"Forget it. This kid always eats more and takes more. The two bottles of Fenjiu are just an excuse. Believe it or not, he would dare to accept it even if you give him a mountain of gold and silver!"

Li Yunlong happily took the Fenjiu and handed it to Duan Peng, then said:

"Don't pretend to understand me, Kong Erlunzi. I don't accept everything. If you give me a little Japanese woman, I definitely won't take it!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing his words, Kong Jie and Blind Cheng both laughed.

When they had both finished laughing, Li Yunlong said:
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. The battle is more important now. You guys go to the side and rest first. I'll go check out the terrain and arrange the ambush. When we get to the mountain stream behind to rest, we can have a good chat!"

"Okay, Lao Li, go ahead and do your thing!"

Kong Jie and Blind Cheng both nodded and found a corner to wait.

Li Yunlong led the officers and soldiers to walk through the entire Fangshiling. After finding no major differences from the map, he asked them to lead their respective soldiers to familiarize themselves with the positions, build firepower points, and so on.

Then Li Yunlong helped Liang Shuisheng predict the movements of the Japanese, mark the artillery elements, camouflage the artillery positions, etc.

Zhang Wuze held the gun and began to look for a suitable sniping point.

The main targets of this attack were the Japanese field artillery and mountain artillery, so he searched behind the 2nd Battalion, as close to the road as possible.

There are 6000 Japanese soldiers and the battle line will definitely be very long. He has to try to include more of them in the attack range to reduce the time of detour.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a place 240 meters away from the highway. There were many rocks and bushes in front of him, and there was a small path in the back, which was convenient for him to detour to the positions of the independent regiment on the reverse slope. He used this place as his sniper point.

After determining the sniper point, he went to Li Yunlong to report his location.

On the other side, Blind Cheng, using the moonlight, kept stalking among the soldiers of the independent regiment, wanting to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the famous sharpshooter Zhang Wu.

But he had never seen Zhang Wu, and after searching for a long time he still had no clue, so he had to ask Kong Jie:

"Kong Jie, you have seen Zhang Wu, tell me which one is him! Now that we are here, you can't let me think that Zhang Wu is Nezha with three heads and six arms, right?"

Kong Jie was not surprised. He pointed directly at Zhang Wu who was reporting to Li Yunlong and said:
"Look, that's Zhang Wu!"

He quickly looked over and carefully examined Zhang Wu. Blind Cheng nodded repeatedly:
"He looks like a good soldier. No wonder our boss calls him a 'heavenly soldier and general'!"

Kong Jie smiled:
"His marksmanship is even better. You'll know when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Blind Cheng became even more excited.

In this way, after becoming familiar with the position, the independent regiment camouflaged the mountain stream where the soldiers were hiding, and then they all entered the mountain stream to rest.

Li Yunlong set up a long-range observation post, a guard post, and a messenger, and also entered the mountain stream to reminisce with two old comrades while waiting for the arrival of the Japanese.

Five days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when the Japanese invaders arrived. [Warning] began to sound the alarm in his mind:

[Warning, warning, the south is under threat, type: enemy, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

coming!

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, he activated all his skills, took out bullets and filled the magazine of Carl 98K, preparing for the attack.

With the report from the remote observation post, Li Yunlong also received news of the arrival of the Japanese.

After he saw the Japanese scouts approaching for reconnaissance and failing to see through the Independent Regiment's disguise, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take up their positions.

Zhang Wu also crouched down and quickly entered his sniper point. He adjusted his shooting posture, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the south!

He didn't have to wait long before a large group of Japanese soldiers came into his field of vision.
