The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"Haha, the little devils are nothing special!"

"That's right. I just shot him and the little Japanese fell down!"

"Me too. I just fired several shots. Although I didn't see clearly how many Japanese soldiers were killed, the Japanese soldiers are not as evil as the rumors say. If you shoot him, he will die!"

Listening to the recruits' excited discussion, Li Yunlong curled up the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. He used the 6 expanded battalions of more than 4000 people to ambush more than 100 Japanese devils. This was exactly the result he wanted!
Only by breaking the fear that has been created in the hearts of the new recruits since the Anti-Japanese War, when the Japanese won more and lost less, and entering a large-scale battlefield, will the new recruits dare to shoot and remember to train, and there will not be such heavy casualties!
Walking in front of the recruits, he said loudly:
"That's right, the damn Bushido, the damn invincibility, they're all just bullshit!
I always say that when two men meet in a narrow road, the bravest one wins. As long as we are not afraid, even the King of Hell can pull out two hairs from his beard, let alone the damned Japs!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement, feeling psychologically superior to the Japanese.

At this time, Zhang Wu came over.

Seeing Zhang Wu, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. He went over to give Zhang Wu a big hug, then patted Zhang Wu on the back and laughed:
"Haha, Zhang Wu, you're awesome! The timing of this ambush was just right. It was a damn good decision to let you fire the first shot!"

As he said this, he let go of Zhang Wu, glanced at all the soldiers, and said with a proud expression on his face:
"If we talk about the greatest contribution in this battle, it has to be our Zhang Wu!
If it weren't for his good eyesight, which allowed us to launch the attack at the right time, otherwise, in such a dark sky, I couldn't see anything with a telescope, and the Japanese would have to run away! "

Li Yunlong's words resonated with the soldiers. They looked at Zhang Wu and praised him:

"Yes, it's fun to fight with our Zhang Wu!"

"That's right, I joined the independent regiment just to fight with our Zhang Wu!"

"In my opinion, with Zhang Wu here, we can wipe out all of these 100 or so Japs, even if there are 100 times more Japs!"

With the praise from the soldiers, Zhang Wu once again became the most handsome guy in the independent regiment.

When the soldiers had finished praising him, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said:

"Okay, hurry up and clean up the battlefield. This group of Japanese devils are not simple. They are the confidants of the Japanese First Army. We must quickly get the benefits and leave here to our new base in Ping'an County to drink and eat meat!"

"Yes!"

When they heard about drinking and eating meat, the soldiers' eyes lit up and they went down to clean up the battlefield with great enthusiasm.

Li Yunlong sent troops to notify the first to fourth battalions that blocked the other two roads to evacuate. Except for the basic militia left in the villages in the original defense zone, the rest all moved to the new station.

Zhang Wu doesn't have to do anything. Just quietly be the most handsome guy in his independent regiment.

There were not many Japanese soldiers, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up and the casualties were counted.

Because of proper tactics, the independent regiment suffered only 8 wounded by stray bullets and 0 casualties in this battle, while the 108 members of Yamamoto's special forces team plus 4 snipers, 36 grenade launchers and mortar operators were completely wiped out, with a casualty ratio of 8:148!

The casualties were small, but the spoils were plentiful.

There were a total of 108 American-made submachine guns, 108 Turtle Box rifles, 6 grenade launchers, 3 90mm mortars, 4 Type 99 sniper rifles, 27 Type rifles, and a radio.

In terms of ammunition, there are 1 submachine gun bullets, 8 4000mm pistol bullets, 6.5 3000mm bullets, 50 100mm grenades, 90 60mm mortar shells, and 400 melon grenades.

There are many other tactical daggers, bulletproof vests, tactical gloves, non-reflective helmets, first aid kits, military uniforms, military caps, leather shoes, etc.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers carried the spoils and marched towards their new base, Shimenbao, in high spirits.

As for the corpses of the Japanese devils, we burned them and turned their bones into ashes to fertilize our land.

After arriving at Shimenbao and settling down completely, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to send a battle report to the brigade commander, and to attach the troop strength and specific firepower allocation of the independent regiment!
After spending a long time with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang's strategic vision has improved a lot. He immediately understood the deep meaning of Li Yunlong's arrangement:
"You have always been hiding your wealth, fearing that the brigade commander would rob you. But this time you generously revealed all your wealth to the brigade commander. Are you asking him to provide you with information to deal with those three Japanese brigades?"

"Yo yo yo, Lao Zhao, you're also a genius!"

Pointing at Zhao Gang twice with a look of surprise, Li Yunlong cursed with a smile, and then said with a majestic look:

"That's right. We now have 8000 men in our regiment. We have all kinds of light weapons and 4 Iron Turtle tanks. Even if we fight against a small Yamamoto special forces, it's not enough to fill our teeth!

I've been keeping my eyes on the Japanese brigade for a long time!

The reason why we had to destroy Yamamoto's special forces first was because we were not strong enough at the time, and we had to let him buy us some time.

Now that we have crushed the Japanese's conspiracy against us, we can also let them retaliate on a large scale!
As long as his brigade moves, hey, our chance will come! If we can't take down three groups, we can still take down one group!"

Li Yunlong’s strategic planning ability is really strong!

Finally realizing the big game that Li Yunlong was playing, Zhao Gang sighed in his heart, nodded and smiled:

"Okay, I'll send the message right away!"

When he was sending the message, Lieutenant General Terauchi, commander of the First Army, was still anxiously waiting for news from Yamamoto Ikki.

But he waited for three full days, and it was as if Yamamoto's special forces had disappeared from the face of the earth. There was no news at all. He took the initiative to send a telegram again, but there was still no response!

"Baga, the independent regiment, the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, is dead!"

Having given up hope completely, Lieutenant General Terauchi, no matter how dumb he was, guessed the outcome of Yamamoto's special forces being destroyed. He cursed and drew his general's sword again, and in a rage of helplessness and rage he chopped the replaced vase into pieces for who knows how many times, and smashed and smashed it in the office.

He was really depressed. It was clearly Yamamoto Ikki who went to attack the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, so how did it become Yamamoto's special forces being destroyed?

I don’t know what happened in the meantime, but the special forces team they trained at such a huge cost was destroyed, and they were his confidants. How could he not take revenge?
After smashing the office and calming down a little, he immediately gave orders to have the 12th Brigade, which had been transferred long ago, to go from Wukou County, the 41st Brigade from Taiyuan, and the newly formed 29th Brigade from Taigu, assisted by all artillery strongholds, garrison battalions, and regiments, to sweep Feng County, Heyuan County, Luyang County, Zhao County, Ping'an County, and Anhua County where the independent regiment might be located.

Find the independent regiment for a decisive battle.

But what he didn't know was that not long after his order was issued, the special committee's intelligence was passed to the brigade commander.

"Damn it, the Japs' revenge is quick!"

Looking at the intelligence from the special committee, the brigade commander raised his eyebrows, took a breath and said:
"Li Yunlong just wiped out Yamamoto's special forces, and the Japanese sent out three brigades to target him!"

The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement:

“Yes, after all, the Yamamoto special forces were trained by the Japanese at great expense. I heard that they were even sent to the Rhine to drink beer.

He often attacked our headquarters before, and he was the confidant of two former commanders of the Japanese First Army!"

"Yeah, these little Japanese devils have done so many evil things, they should have been choked to death in the cesspool long ago!"

The brigade commander showed a relieved expression on his face:

"If it weren't for them, our deputy chief of general staff wouldn't have been killed by the plane! The independent regiment fought well this time, and it avenged the leaders who died in our headquarters!"

"Yes, I heard that this trap was thought up by Zhang Wu. His strategic planning ability is no worse than Li Yunlong's!"

The Chief of Staff sighed and said:
"Now that we have lost this group of Japs, with our defense situation, they won't be able to infiltrate us again!
Moreover, with such a large-scale raid by the Japanese, the rear area is bound to be empty, especially in the direction of Taigu and Wukou County. This will allow our troops to seize the opportunity to destroy the Japanese lair and also relieve the pressure on Li Yunlong!
But from what Li Yunlong means, he wants us to provide intelligence and destroy a group of Japanese devils!"

"That's right. Otherwise, Li Yunlong has always been hiding his wealth, fearing that we would know that he has made a fortune. How could he suddenly reveal his wealth to us?"

The brigade commander looked like he saw through Li Yunlong. He shook the specific troop allocation behind the independent regiment and laughed and scolded confidently:

"This guy must have aimed at the Japanese brigade when Zhang Wu set the trap. He didn't take action at that time because his independent regiment didn't have enough troops!"

"That should be it. Li Yunlong is very smart. With Zhang Wu's help, I don't think even sixteen horses can catch up with him!"

The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement:

"Based on the current strength of the Independent Regiment, coupled with Zhang Wu's 'magic gun', the Independent Regiment may actually be able to wipe out another small Japanese brigade!

If this works, it will not only deter the Japanese from being as arrogant as it is now, but also aggravate the Japanese's shortage of troops. Maybe we can also try to recover several counties in northwest Shanxi, switch from offense to defense, and end the current passive defense situation!"

"Well, I think that's the way to go!"

The brigade commander nodded, thought for a moment, and then gave the order:

"Send the independent regiment's victory report to the headquarters first. I think the boss will definitely be happy to see this good news!

Maybe we can even give the independent regiment and Zhang Wu a commendation or something!

After the division headquarters calls back, send the specific force deployment and marching routes of the three Japanese brigades to the independent regiment, and let Li Yunlong find the right opportunity to fight on his own! "He paused here, and then said solemnly:
"This time, the Japanese brigades are not far from each other, and the area they are mopping up is relatively concentrated. There will definitely not be enough time for an ambush. Tell him to be careful, don't forget your own name just because you have a little strength!
If he is too greedy and reckless, and fails to take down the Japanese brigade, and causes heavy casualties to his troops, I will dismiss him and make him come to my cavalry battalion to clean up horse manure!"

The Chief of Staff couldn't help but ask:

"Are you willing to?"

The brigade commander also laughed and said something sarcastic:

"Remove him from his post as soon as possible. Anyway, you have Zhang Wu to take his place, so that he won't be a nuisance to you every day. Go to him for some weapons and equipment, but he will have to give you a hundred and eighty conditions!"

The chief of staff didn't say anything more. They all let Li Yunlong find a suitable opportunity to fight on his own (all the interpretation rights belong to the brigade commander - robbery). There's nothing wrong with giving him some sweet treats in advance:
"Okay, leave it all to me!"

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters received the telegram from the brigade commander, and the division commander's eyes lit up:
"Destroyed Yamamoto's special forces? Haha, good things happen every year, but this year there are especially many. The independent regiment gave me the 129th Division and avenged the entire Eighth Route Army!"

As he said this, he walked quickly towards the boss, handed over the good news, and said:

"Boss, good news! The independent regiment launched a surprise attack on the Japanese Yamamoto special forces at the Zhaojiayu Guaishiling. We have completely wiped out this cancer!"

Yamamoto's Special Forces?!

The boss raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't wait to take the message and read it, and a relieved expression appeared on his face:
"Well done, the independent regiment did a great job in this battle. It really gave me some vent to my anger! Back then at the Cross Ridge, it was this damn Yamamoto Special Forces..."

As he spoke, he walked to the window, looked in the direction of Cross Ridge, took off his military cap, and murmured with moist eyes:
"Did you see that? The Independent Regiment has avenged you. Our Eighth Route Army will continue to kill the Japanese devils. This blood feud will not end until all the Japanese devils are wiped out!"

After calming down, he turned around and said to the teacher:
"Reward, the Independent Regiment must be rewarded!"

The commander took the opportunity to commend Zhang Wu:

"Boss, the independent regiment was able to fight so beautifully this time because Zhang Wu discovered the Japanese's conspiracy early on..."

The boss understood the teacher's meaning in a second, and said directly without waiting for him to finish:

"Also, give Zhang Wu another reward. Let them continue to work hard to kill the Japanese devils and avenge the millions of civilians who died!"

"Yes, thank you, Boss!"

The division commander agreed with satisfaction and immediately sent a telegram to the 386th Brigade.

After receiving the commendation telegram from the division commander, the brigade chief of staff directly sent it to the independent regiment along with the specific intelligence of the three Japanese brigades.

At the same time, the information about the Japanese brigade's mobilization was also obtained by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and passed on to the 358th Regiment.

"Haha, great!"

After listening to Fang Ligong's report, Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed:
"The Japanese brigade has finally moved. Time is running out. Quick, send someone to notify Li Yunlong of the independent regiment and invite him to gather at Jiangjunling!
This time, let's ask the independent regiment to help out and defeat an entire brigade of the Japanese!"

"Commander, it may not be easy to notify the independent regiment!"

Fang Ligong showed an embarrassed expression, frowned and said:
"This morning, the forward observation post reported that the large force in the independent regiment's defense zone had been deserted overnight, leaving only a few basic militiamen.

I heard that there were gunshots from the direction of Zhaojiayu, and it is suspected that the base of the independent regiment has been exposed. They have moved to other places overnight! "

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei was startled, and he immediately connected it to the Japanese raid:

"How could such a coincidence happen? Or was it that the independent regiment's overnight transfer caused the Japanese to lose their target, leading to the dispatch of these three brigades?"

As he spoke, he showed a confused expression and tapped his left palm with the back of his right hand:

"What a pity, with such a good opportunity, our 358th Regiment can only watch from the sidelines and wait for the next chance!

You see, within a month, there will be news that the independent regiment has completely wiped out the Japanese brigade! "

"can you?"

Fang Ligong was still a little reluctant to believe it, he stated the facts and reasoned:
"The main force of the Japanese mopping-up operation this time is the 2th and 3st field armies. Even the newly reorganized th Brigade has three regiments, and the number of weapons and equipment even exceeds that of the field brigades.

With such a strong force, can an independent regiment destroy it all?

Forgive me for being frank, but even with the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, I am still pessimistic! "

"Brother Ligong, you and I will just watch. With the sharpshooter Zhang Wu here, the independent regiment will surely accomplish this feat again!"

Chu Yunfei smiled, praised Zhang Wu, and gave the order directly:

"Pass the order down. My 358th Regiment will retreat to Dagu Mountain. We can't let the Japanese find the independent regiment and make our 358th Regiment a scapegoat!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and passed the message.

Chu Yunfei walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. It seemed as if he saw the scene of the independent regiment annihilating the Japanese brigade. He couldn't help but humming:

"I stood on the city tower and looked at the mountain scenery. I heard the commotion outside the city and the waving flags in the sky..."

While he was singing the empty city plan, Li Yunlong also received a telegram from the brigade commander.

"Haha, the intelligence is finally here!"

Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly. Seeing the information about the Japanese brigade behind him, he laughed fearlessly:

"Haha, we're rich, we're rich, with so many weapons and equipment, it's enough for us to celebrate the New Year in advance!"

"Didn't you see the commendation that the brigade commander gave to Zhang Wu and the independent regiment that he applied for?"

Zhao Gang is also full of confidence:
"With the encouragement of these two awards, the morale of our independent regiment is even stronger, and we are more confident of annihilating an entire brigade of the Japanese devils!
Our brigade commander really showed us face this time. Not only did he give us intelligence, he also gave us two commendations from the boss!"

"I say, Lao Zhao, this has happened so many times, why do you still think that the brigade commander is so simple?"

Li Yunlong looked at him with one eye wide open and the other narrow, pointed at the contents of the telegram and said:

"Look at what the brigade commander said. He told us to find the right opportunity to fight! What does that mean? This operation is under the command of the brigade commander. Once we have the spoils, we will be robbed!"

But he knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he spread out the map and started to do his homework while instructing:

"Forget it. Isn't it enough that the brigade commander has robbed us of our weapons and equipment? I'm used to it. I'll apply for a commendation for Zhang Wu when the time comes!
Now send a message to notify all cadres above the company level to come to the meeting!
The slowest of the 3 Japanese brigades will have only 10 days to set off. We have to quickly pick an ambush point, otherwise we will be too late!

As for the awards, we will announce them when we set out, and we will boost morale together with the pre-war mobilization!"

Zhao Gang also knew that time was running out, so he didn't say anything more and agreed directly:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements!"

As Zhao Gang passed down the order, several waves of messengers immediately rushed to various bases to inform the cadres of the independent regiment.

A big war is about to start?!

After receiving the notice from the messenger, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know the intelligence, given the strong situation of the independent regiment, it was impossible for Li Yunlong to look down on the Japanese devils below the regiment.

Without any hesitation, he ran straight to the regiment headquarters.

He has been eager to fight a big battle to gain experience and level up. There are Japanese generals waiting for him to kill behind him. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the middle. Only by upgrading and strengthening skills as soon as possible can he be prepared for any changes.

After arriving at the regiment headquarters and greeting Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, he waited patiently. After all the cadres above the company level had arrived, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to announce the brigade commander's telegram and the specific firepower allocation of the three brigades and regiments.

It's the brigade!
Zhang Wu couldn't help but rub his hands together, that's great, he could at least get promoted to the next level this time!

Li Yunlong glanced at all the cadres, spread out the map, and said directly:
"I won't waste any more time. Time is running out. Now I will assign specific combat tasks..." (End of this chapter)
