The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

This time, Li Yunlong chose the 29th Brigade of the Japanese invaders as his target.

All the cadres did not see any problem with this choice.

Zhang Wu also agreed with this.

Although the 1th Brigade has reached a size of 14 people, it has been equipped with 1 tank squadron with 7 tanks, 1 armored vehicle squadron with 12 armored vehicles, 75 field artillery battalion with 1 3mm field guns, and 1 guard battalion at the brigade level. It is also composed of regiments, so it has the additional weapons and equipment of an entire regiment.

But except for the Yamagami Regiment that was disbanded from the detachment, the remaining Sato Regiment and Xiaohe Regiment were garrison regiments, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not as strong as the other two brigades.

Also, because it was only formed a few months ago, the coordination among the various regiments and the cooperation among the various arms are certainly not as smooth as the other two brigades.

In addition, he had the longest departure time of 10 days, and the Taiyuan Airport had just been taken over by Zhang Wu, so it would take several months to recover. The location was remote, so the Japanese support was the slowest. This would give the Independent Regiment more time to prepare, and even destroy the th Brigade!
The ambush point is also expected to be located within Taigu County!

Zhang Wu looked at the map work done by Li Yunlong. Even though it only showed the marching route of the 29th Brigade, he was certain of this.

The 29th Brigade's first target is Feng County, and the Datian Regiment from Fu'an will also go to Feng County. In addition, there is the garrison regiment in Heyuan County and Yuanshuiquan. The ambush points should be placed in these two counties. The Japanese will support each other, and it will be much more difficult to destroy the 29th Brigade!
As expected, Li Yunlong pointed to Yansupu in the Lujing Mountains in the ancient territory and said:

"Our ambush point this time is Yanxupu. This place is the only way to enter Feng County from Taigu. Although the slope is gentle and the grass is sparse, it is 10 kilometers long, which is suitable for large troops to deploy. The deep gullies and ridges in the mountains can also be used to hide soldiers. There are also two roads that can go around to the highway below. It is a good place to ambush the 2th Brigade!"

As he spoke, he looked at the battalion and company commanders of all the infantry battalions:

"The third and fourth battalions will be at the head, the first and second battalions will be at the tail, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighty, ninth and tenth battalions will be in the middle. Please fire at the same time when you see my signal flares. We don't ask for much damage in the first wave, but we must cut the three regiments and part of the brigade of the Japanese into four sections so that they can't take care of the front and rear, thus reducing the time of our ambush!"

The commanders of all infantry battalions stood at attention and said:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong then looked at the battalion commanders of the grenade launchers and mortars:

"You should form groups of three and companies as units, and disperse behind each infantry battalion to provide close-range fire support. Make adjustments at any time according to my orders."

After a pause, he continued:

"More than one battalion was reorganized this time. How long will it take you to adjust?"

The commander of the 1st Grenade Launcher Battalion patted his chest and assured as a representative:
“Don’t worry, Commander, we have already regularized all the veterans during the reorganization.

The operators now are all veterans, and the other recruits are ammunition handlers and assistant shooters. We can definitely do it within 1 minute. Wherever you point, we will shoot!"

"Well done!"

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liang Shuisheng:
"Shuisheng, place your two artillery battalions 2 kilometers away this time.

Although the Japanese aircraft support will not be too fast, the Japanese are too large in scale and the battle line is too long. Our Zhang Wu will definitely not be able to take care of them all at the beginning. We cannot let the Japanese discover your artillery positions too early!

First mark the artillery support. After 3 rounds of bombing, separate the mountain artillery and field artillery mixed battalion to bomb the Japanese field artillery battalion to buy time for our Zhang Wu to fight the Japanese Iron Turtle.

The infantry artillery reinforced battalion is divided into three parts, focusing on taking care of the Japanese regiment-level mountain artillery positions!

Then make adjustments at any time according to my orders!"

"Yes!"

Shuisheng stood at attention with his chest puffed out. Without Li Yunlong asking any more questions, he said directly:

"Captain, the situation in my artillery battalion is the same as that in the grenade launcher battalion. The shooters and observers who adjust the angles are all veterans, and the new recruits are assistant shooters and ammunition handlers. The temporary adjustment time is 2 minutes for infantry artillery and 3 minutes for field artillery and mountain artillery!"

"Look, our artillerymen are all great!"

Li Yunlong praised loudly again, and then finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, can our Iron Turtle come in handy this time?"

Zhang Wu smiled:
"No problem. The original 50 tank soldiers are already skilled at driving and can dodge the Japanese artillery fire while moving. They have also been trained in infantry-tank coordination, so they can definitely carry out a tank charge!"

Tank Charge?!
After listening to Zhang Wu's words, before Li Yunlong spoke, the other battalion and company commanders were all rubbing their hands in excitement:

"Great, let's give the Japs a tank charge this time!"

"That's right. In the past, the Japanese relied on the Iron Turtle to attack us. This time, let's let them taste the power of the Iron Turtle!"

"Oh, I see. When our captain chose the ambush point, he specifically looked for a place with two roads that could lead to the highway. It turns out that this was prepared for the Iron Turtle!"

Seeing that the cadres had guessed it, Li Yunlong raised his lips in satisfaction:

"Yes, that's for the Iron Turtle!

But don't be happy too soon. We only have four tanks. We have no conditions to engage in a head-on tank battle with the Japanese. And this time it's an ambush. We can't lose our advantage.

When fighting a war, you have to use your brain based on the actual situation and not be one-track-minded!

These four iron turtles are prepared by me for the night attack or the final charge, so forget it!"

The cadres showed surprised expressions for a moment, but they became excited again in the next moment. With this actual combat, they could seize more iron turtles. How long would it take for them to have an evenly matched tank battle with the Japanese in the future?

As they were imagining these things, Li Yunlong began to assign specific combat tasks to Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, I'll give you 300 rounds of ammunition this time. I'll have each battalion prepare 300 rounds for you. The Japanese planes won't come that fast. Your main task is to first attack the Japanese headquarters, then the Japanese Iron Turtle, and then crush the Japanese field artillery brigade for me.

That thing can blow up a large area, and its power is greater than that of a mountain artillery. If it doesn't crush them to death, our regiment will suffer heavy casualties!"

"Don't worry, Captain. Leave everything to me!"

Zhang Wu is full of confidence. With [Telescope 2], his current attack range has reached the maximum of 98 meters for Carl 800K. If he upgrades it further, he can first improve [Lock] to reach a range of 1000 meters:
"I will never let the Japanese iron turtle and field artillery act arrogantly in front of us!"

"Well, I trust you the most!"

Patting Zhang Wu on the shoulder, Li Yunlong continued:

"After attacking the field artillery positions, we will support the battalions in attacking the Japanese regiment-level mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and heavy machine guns.

I will also deploy three light machine guns in each battalion to set traps for the Japanese planes. If the Japanese planes dare to dive, I will beat them to death! "

Zhang Wu stood upright with his chest puffed out and said:
"Yes!"

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

"The Japanese brigade must have sharpshooters. When each battalion discovers them, they will directly notify the grenade launcher company at the back to release smoke bombs in the direction of the Japanese sharpshooters to slow down their shooting speed.

"When Zhang Wu kills the field artillery battalion and goes to support you, he will take care of the Japanese sharpshooters while we're at it!"

"Yes!"

All the battalion and company commanders nodded, then looked at Zhang Wu and said with a smile:
"Zhang Wu, the Japs' sharpshooters are all depending on you!"

"Yes, the Japanese sharpshooters are not weak. If we deploy a large number of heavy weapons to target the sharpshooters, we will not be able to suppress them head-on, and we will suffer heavy casualties!"

"That's right. Only with Zhang Wu here can we reduce our casualties!"

"I'll prepare 400 rounds of ammunition for you by then!"

After taking a look at them, Zhang Wu smiled:
"Okay, just ask me when you need my help!"

"Be smart, place a few messengers on Zhang Wu's circuitous route. He has a heavy task to do, and he doesn't have time to ask if you need help!"

Li Yunlong made a suggestion and finally said:
"This time we not only have to destroy the Japanese brigade, but also take away all the spoils, especially the 21 Iron Turtle tanks. If we want to have a great Iron Turtle battle with the Japanese as soon as possible, we better fight this battle for me!"

Seeing all the battalion and company commanders nodded, Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"Alright, everyone, go get ready. It'll take three days to get here, and we'll set off tomorrow night!"

"Yes!"

After all the battalion and company commanders stood at attention and saluted, they filed out and went down to prepare.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang:

"Lao Zhao, we can't lose our home when we leave. We have to be on guard against the Japanese raid.

You should lead your direct company, and after distributing ammunition and preparing dry food, protect our baggage and the people and take refuge in the mountains!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao again:
"Da Biao, don't just sit there. We just seized more than 100 submachine guns. Go to each battalion and select veterans. Take out all the submachine guns and form a submachine gun company for me.

When our Iron Turtle charges, let this company follow behind. With the cover of the Iron Turtle, they can easily advance to a distance of 200 meters!

As long as we get 200 meters in, plus the special forces, hey, more than 100 submachine guns plus more than 20 Czech-style ones, it will be enough to give the Japanese a hard time! "

Zhang Dabiao understood and smiled:

"Yes!"

Just like that, the entire independent regiment began to act according to their duties. Some distributed ammunition, some were on guard, some were on guard, and some were mobilizing troops. They were busy and orderly.

After receiving 300 rounds of bullets, Zhang Wu patiently waited for the official departure time.

The next night, he heard the emergency call. He put on his bulletproof vest, tactical gloves, Conte pistol and non-reflective dagger, put on his ghillie suit, picked up the Carl 98K and ran straight to the assembly point.

When they arrived at the assembly point and everyone was present, Li Yunlong took out two commendations, called Zhang Wu in front of everyone, and read out the commendations for the independent regiment and Zhang Wu in public.

The boss's commendation! Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised. Although he had received it many times, he was like Han Xin selecting his soldiers - the more the better.

Not only him, but other soldiers also heard the commendation for the entire independent regiment, and they became more motivated. In addition, the complete annihilation of Yamamoto's special forces gave them a psychological advantage over the Japanese, so they couldn't wait to shout.

Seeing such morale, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction. After giving a brief explanation, he commanded the troops to leave Shimenbao in batches and head straight for Yansupu in Lujing Mountains.

There are 4 tanks and 50 tank soldiers joining in on the road with enough fuel. They will drive back the captured tanks, armored vehicles and even trucks.

In this way, after three days of forced marches, hiding during the day and moving at night, the reconnaissance company explored the way in advance, bypassed the Japanese artillery towers and strongholds, and arrived at Yansupu.

Yansu Road runs from northeast to southwest, with gentle slopes and sparse grass on both sides. An ambush position can only be built on the reverse slope 220 meters away.

After sending out the guard company to remotely monitor, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers to rest on the spot and took the cadres above the company level to walk through the entire Yansupu and made minor adjustments to the discrepancies.

After the adjustments were completed, he asked the cadres to take their respective soldiers to familiarize themselves with their respective positions, arrange firepower points, and camouflage several troop hiding points 500 meters behind.

Then he led Shuisheng to predict the movements of the Japanese, mark the bombardment parameters of the long-range artillery, place four tanks deep in the two roads, camouflage them well, and have the submachine gun company and the special forces team provide close protection, etc.

Zhang Wu carried his Carl 98K on his back and began to choose a suitable ambush location.

Both the first target and the main task were to attack the rear of the Japanese. This time his attack range was expanded by 200 meters. In order to reduce the time on the road to attack the tanks, he chose a place behind the 1st Battalion and the 10th Battalion as his sniper point.

This place is 350 meters away from the highway in a straight line. There are many boulders and bushes in front of it. There is also a small path behind the reverse slope that can quickly detour in the direction of the main force.

After marking the entire circuitous road and planning the shortest circuitous route, he told Li Yunlong the sniper point and went into the hiding point to rest.

The other soldiers spent three days preparing and familiarizing themselves with the situation before entering the hiding place and waiting for rest.

After Li Yunlong arranged the guard post, long-range observation post and messenger, he also entered the hiding place to rest.

Over the next few days, the independent regiment waited patiently, and no Japanese planes passed by until the day the 29th Brigade arrived.

Zhang Wu got up early that day, ate some dry food and drank some water, then took out bullets to fill the magazine of the Karl-98K, preparing for the ambush.

Not long after he was ready, before 10 a.m., [Warning] began to sound the alarm in his mind:

[Warning, warning, the northeast direction will be threatened, type: enemy, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

coming!

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up and he activated all his skills instantly.

With the remote observation post there, Li Yunlong received the news not much later than Zhang Wu. He took out his telescope, and after seeing the Japanese scouts approaching, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to return to their respective positions.

Zhang Wu also held a gun and bent down to his sniper point.

After adjusting to a comfortable lying position, he pulled the bolt to load the bullet, pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the northeast, and waited for the arrival of the Japanese.

He didn't have to wait long. After the 12 trailer motorcycles of the 900th Brigade led the way and fired conventional strafing shots, the large Japanese force came into his -meter field of vision.

Infantry, mule carts, trucks, tanks; machine gunners, grenade throwers, infantry gunners, mountain gunners; second lieutenants, first lieutenants, first captains, majors, those riding horses, those driving cars, rows and rows, constantly passed by Zhang Wu's eyes.

Damn, the tanks are dispersed again!

Looking at the three tanks following the regiment on the mountain that passed first, Zhang Wu cursed angrily, saying that the Japanese tanks were so scattered and their marching line was so long, and when the battle started, it would take him a long time to destroy all the tanks!

It seems that I have to work as a driver first, and then as a conductor after I come back!
After deciding on his strategy, he continued to watch the Japanese soldiers passing by.

After Sato's Regiment and Xiaohe's Regiment passed by, the brigade headquarters of the 4th Brigade, led by four tanks, followed by the Guard Battalion, four armored vehicles, a truck pulling field artillery, and three tanks, came into Zhang Wu's sight.

They are all great experiences!

Looking at the field gunner in the truck and the major general, colonel and lieutenant colonel in the armored vehicle, Zhang Wu swallowed unconsciously and tried to get promoted by 2 levels this time!
Thinking of this, he quickly marked out all the lieutenant colonels in the armored vehicle and found the attack angle of the Japanese major general. While moving the muzzle of his gun, he waited for Li Yunlong's order to come quickly so as not to miss the attack angle.

almost!

He didn't have to wait long. After seeing the entire 29th Brigade enter the ambush circle, Li Yunlong took out his signal gun and fired a shot into the sky:
"beat!"

吱

The red flare rose into the air, making a sharp explosion, sounding the death knell for the entire Japanese brigade.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

Seeing the signal, the soldiers of the independent regiment, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately opened fire. Various bullets and artillery shells formed a dense rain of bullets, which instantly split the Japanese into four sections and took away thousands of their lives.

Although the independent regiment had fewer heavy weapons than the Japanese, they were able to complete their plan and cause such heavy casualties in a surprise attack.

Zhang Wu was faster. When he saw the flash of fire at the muzzle of Li Yunlong's gun, he pulled the trigger immediately.

Snapped

The commander of the 29th Brigade of the Japanese army was chatting and laughing with the colonel next to him, and did not take the independent regiment seriously at all, when he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a Japanese major general, gain 360 experience points. (2845/16000)]

The major general is still fat!

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu slightly curled the corners of his mouth and quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet. Without waiting for the colonel next to him to leave the shooting angle of the observation port, he did the same thing and fired another shot.

Snapped

The 7.92mm rifle bullets arrived in an instant. The colonel relied on the armored vehicle to dodge the attack of the independent regiment's large force, but he could not escape Zhang Wu's precise shooting. He was shot through the head and followed the fate of the major general.

[Ding, kill a Japanese colonel and gain 180 experience points. (3025/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet again and began to look for the next target!
They will have to fight the Japanese tanks later, so he has to hurry and kill more Japanese with high experience!

At the same time, the Japanese also reacted.

"Enemy attack!"

They howled loudly and threw grenades under the leadership of their respective commanders. They used the smoke from the explosions as cover, relied on motorcycles, mule carts and trucks as shelter, and used quick-response weapons such as light machine guns, rifles and grenade launchers to build defensive positions.

After the heavy machine guns were assembled, they joined in and formed a high and low firepower network with the light machine guns and rifles. Then the infantry guns were unloaded from the vehicles to build positions and provide firepower support together with the grenade launchers. The position was quickly stabilized.

Relying on the fact that they had more heavy weapons than the independent regiment, they began to gain the upper hand.

"Yoshi, let the warriors fight hard!"

Colonel Kamikawa, the deputy brigade commander who took over the command, heaved a sigh of relief after receiving reports from the various regiments. He rolled his eyes and began to make targeted adjustments:
"Release smoke bombs to the field artillery battalion, and let the guard battalion cover them as they quickly unload the artillery and build a field artillery position.

Let each regiment concentrate its firepower, use the cover of tanks, and connect with each other to support each other.

Let the brigade's 7 tanks cover a squadron of the guard battalion and establish contact with the Xiaohe Regiment.

Let the snipers from the regiments and brigades launch precision attacks on the lower-level officers of the Eighth Route Army who dare to ambush us, as well as the heavy firepower points, to disrupt their attack rhythm. "

"Hai!"

The messenger and the signalman immediately went down to pass the order.

As the order was issued, the Japanese began to concentrate their firepower on the attack, cutting off their independent regiment and battalion, and under the cover of tanks, began to coordinate infantry and tanks to approach each other.

Especially the 7 tanks of the brigade, lined up in a row, could be said to be an impenetrable wall.

Coupled with the suppression of machine guns on tanks, the independent regiment's defense line, which already had inferior firepower, began to be in danger.

"Damn it, the Japs react really quickly!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong punched the mud and made adjustments immediately without any hesitation:
"Tell the grenade launcher company in the direction of the Japanese's cutoff to cut off the Japanese's troops behind the Iron Turtle.

Let the soldiers hold on. Zhang Wu has already gone to fight the Japanese bastards. As long as we can hold off this wave, the Japanese will not be able to make a difference!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

Zhao Gang also knew the urgency of the situation, and he suggested:
"Why don't we ask Shuisheng to allocate a few more cannons..."

"No, the power of field artillery and mountain artillery cannot be compared with a few iron turtles!"

Li Yunlong refused without even looking at him:
"Once there is a gap on Shuisheng's side, let the Japanese field artillery and mountain artillery start to support. Not only will our regiment suffer greater casualties, but the Japanese will also be able to connect the front and rear faster!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the seven tanks of the Japanese brigade, as if he was talking to Zhao Gang, or to himself, and said anxiously:

"Zhang Wu, you have to beat the little Japanese bastard faster!
If we allow the Japanese to go back together and support each other, it will be difficult for our regiment to destroy them... When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we will not only lose this piece of fat meat, but also be ambushed by the Japanese!"

With magical skills in hand, how could Zhang Wu let him down?

When he saw the Japanese tanks starting to gather, even though he had only killed two lieutenant colonels and one major, he immediately took his gun and shot at the tanks.

If he hadn't had to find the shooting angle, he would have done it long ago!
After detouring for 50 meters, he finally found the shooting angle of a tank driver. In order to save time, he did not stop, but swung the gun while moving, aimed at the driver's head, and with the help of [Headlock], fired a shot.
