The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

With the help of newspapers and radio broadcasts, and with people telling each other about it, people all over the country knew about Zhang Wu's once again created a great achievement, and they were very excited:
"I heard that our national hero Zhang Wu killed a general of the Japanese this time!"

"How come I haven't heard of it? In addition to this general, there are 2 lieutenant generals, 3 major generals, and 8 colonels, all of whom are high-ranking officers of the Japanese devils. It's so damn satisfying!"

"Yes, with our national hero Zhang Wu here, the Japanese won't be able to survive for long!"

"That's right, the Japs are now like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, getting worse every year!"

Everyone on the streets was talking about Zhang Wu. Some were setting off firecrackers, some were eating dumplings, and merchants were offering discounts or even giving away free dumplings to celebrate Zhang Wu's great victory!

There were also patriotic people who donated money and supplies to support the war of resistance, and aspiring young people enthusiastically joined the army and wanted to fight the enemy. The morale of the soldiers on various battlefields was also greatly boosted, and they beat the Japanese devils so hard that they cried for their parents!
This made Zhang Wu the most handsome guy in the country!
Not only in China, but also Anna, who has returned to the other side of the ocean and has been following Zhang Wu, was excited and happy when she heard the news:
"Oh, my hero, you will be the man I will never forget in my life. You are my god and my pride!"

That’s not all. She also wrote a special article to let more people know about the Eighth Route Army and the sharpshooter Zhang Wu. The title is:

"The sharpshooter Zhang Wu I know, a man close to God!"

Just as Zhang Wu's fame was spreading throughout the world, the Japanese morale suffered another critical blow because of him!

The war-weariness was spreading among the Japanese army and was no longer confined to North China. The Japanese across the country were in a state of depression, losing their positions, and fleeing in large numbers. There were even cases of mutiny!
Even though the commander of North China, Baldy Okamura, dealt with all the lieutenants of the three regiments guarding the Peking Airport, it did not change the morale of the Japanese devils in North China in the slightest!

"Baga Yalu, the master spearman Zhang Wu, is dead!"

Baldy Okamura was so angry that he started cursing. In order to restore morale and to avenge General Shouchuan and other senior officers, he went to the First Army Headquarters. Not only did he take command in person, he also invented the Iron Roll Sweeping Method, vowing to kill the sharpshooter Zhang Wu and destroy the Independent Regiment.

For this operation, he urged the two Type D divisions to speed up their formation, and at the same time, he transferred four flying squadrons from Peiping to the cleaned-up Taiyuan Airport in the hope of rapid aircraft support.

While they were stepping up their operations, the Independent Regiment was also stepping up its recruitment.

Recruiting soldiers has never stopped, and with the support of Zhang Wu's brilliant performance this time, more young people want to join the independent regiment.

Even in Taigu, Fu'an, Luyang and Shuiquan, where the Independent Regiment did not have any recruiting points, a large number of aspiring young people traveled hundreds of miles to the Independent Regiment's recruiting points to join the army, just hoping to be in the same regiment with their idol, the sharpshooter Zhang Wu.

In this way, when Zhang Wu returned to the Independent Regiment under the escort of Secretary Gao, the Independent Regiment had completed recruitment and reorganization.

The current independent regiment has 12 infantry battalions, each with 1000 people.

In terms of heavy weapons, the first five main battalions each had 5 heavy machine guns and 14 light machine guns; the last seven ordinary battalions each had 41 heavy machine guns and 7 light machine guns.

311 grenade launchers and 20 mortars were organized into 8 grenade launcher battalions and 1 grenade launcher and mortar mixed battalion to provide close-range fire support.

3 field guns, 25 infantry guns, 2 Italian guns and 20 75 mountain guns form 2 infantry artillery battalions, 1 mountain artillery battalion, and 1 mixed reinforced battalion of mountain artillery, field artillery and infantry artillery to provide long-range artillery support.

In addition, there are 8 tanks and 2 armored vehicles that can carry out coordinated infantry and tank advancement.

Together with the submachine gun company, cavalry company, messenger company, engineering company, direct company, special service company, guard company, reconnaissance company, and special forces team, there are a total of 13000 people, which can be said to be a strong and powerful force!

Upon hearing the news that Zhang Wu had returned, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly and said to Zhao Gang with a big laugh:
"Old Zhao, Zhang Wu is finally back. He really made us proud this time!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang nodded and agreed:
"Our Zhang Wu has fought through five barriers and killed six generals this time... No, there are also 8 colonels, 4 planes, and other little devils. No one can surpass this record anywhere!
Moreover, you have seen the recruitment situation over the past month. If he had not fought so well this time, how could our regiment have recruited 1 new soldiers in just three months?"

"That's right, those new recruits are coming for him!"

Li Yunlong said this with envy:

"Damn it, this guy is much more famous than me now. You've heard and seen him on the radio and in the newspapers, calling him a national hero all the time!
He was given even more commendations. Leaders at all levels gave him two copies each, and even the special committee gave him one copy. I've fought in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and I've never seen anyone who could receive so many commendations at one time!

And that foreign chick, I heard she even wrote an article about him!"

"Not only that, have you forgotten the commendation from the High Command and the 1 dollars?"

Looking at Li Yunlong's expression, Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing and said:

"I have to admit that Zhang Wu has surpassed you now!"

"Let him surpass me, he's my soldier, my best brother, I'll let him surpass me!"

Li Yunlong didn't seem to be shocked at all. Instead, he looked proud of Zhang Wu:
"Let's go over and take a look. I think that guy is surrounded by soldiers again!"

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement:

"That's normal. Our Zhang Wu has such a good record, and the soldiers have also benefited from it. They will definitely not neglect the heroes who have made contributions!"

The two men left the regiment headquarters and walked quickly towards the village entrance. Before they reached the village entrance, they saw Zhang Wu surrounded by soldiers. The sound of praise almost shook the entire Shimen Fort:
"Zhang Wu, you are really amazing this time!"

"Yes, to kill so many high-ranking Japanese soldiers, including a general and four planes, and to sneak into the tight defense of three Japanese regiments three days in advance, and to act from 1 meters away, I dare say that no one else can do it except Zhang Wu!"

"That's right, 'Master Gun Zhang Wu' is not called that for nothing! With Zhang Wu's strength, let alone the Japanese generals, even if the Japanese emperor was there, he would only need one shot from Zhang Wu to kill him!"

More new recruits were constantly arriving and squeezing into the crowd. Everyone wanted to see the true face of the legendary sharpshooter Zhang Wu, who had just created such a great feat!

Having guessed this situation long ago, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and quickened their pace.

When they reached the perimeter of the soldiers and they had almost finished praising him, Li Yunlong laughed and scolded loudly:
"Alright, stop crowding around. Our Zhang Wu just came back, we need to let him have a good rest!

Tomorrow I will inform the whole group and announce the award to Zhang Wu in public, and then you can watch Zhang Wu to your heart's content!"

After hearing this, the soldiers reluctantly dispersed. Li Yunlong stepped forward, patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction:

"Good job, you are Li Yunlong's soldier!"

Zhao Gang also nodded and smiled at Zhang Wu:

"Yes, this battle showed the power of our Eighth Route Army. Leaders at all levels have commended you seven times, not including the commendations from the Second War Zone and the Supreme Command, and the 7 yuan reward from the Supreme Command!"

9 awards and 1 dollars?
Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. This was 5000 more than the last time he captured the Japanese First Army Headquarters!

Thinking happily, he quickly stood at attention and saluted:

"Thank you, Commander, and Political Commissar, for recommending me for the honor. I will continue to work hard to kill more Japanese soldiers and make more contributions until all the Japanese soldiers are driven into the sea to feed the turtles!"

"Good job! This is really encouraging!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder again, turned to Zhao Gang and said:

"Old Zhao, our hero has come all the way here, we should at least give him a welcome, right? I'm not saying this because I want to drink, it's because our Zhang Wu has made such a great contribution, our regiment can't fail to show appreciation, don't you think?"

It's obviously you who want to drink!

Zhao Gang complained in his heart, but Li Yunlong's words made sense. He knew he had no way to refute it, so he could only say:

"Well, you succeeded. I'll make arrangements right away and have the cook cook a few delicious dishes to welcome Zhang Wu!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he put his arm around Zhang Wu's shoulders, and said with a smile as he walked towards the regiment headquarters:
"Hey, that's right, you, Political Commissar Zhao, have finally integrated with us workers and peasants!"

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. He went straight to the kitchen to make arrangements.

In this way, after Zhang Wu was welcomed and greeted by them, he returned to the dormitory to rest. The next morning, the entire independent regiment gathered together, and Li Yunlong read out the commendation for Zhang Wu in public:

"In view of the fact that Comrade Zhang Wu has completed the task of beheading General Shouchuan and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese, the head of the headquarters has decided to award Comrade Zhang Wu the titles of 'Eighth Route Army Combat Hero' and 'Eighth Route Army's First Vanguard'!

In view of Comrade Zhang Wu...being awarded the titles of 'Division Combat Hero' and 'Division Model Soldier'!

...Awards for 'Brigade Combat Hero' and 'Brigade Model Soldier'!
...The Special Committee commends Comrade Zhang Wu!

...The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone commended Zhang Wu!
...The National Command commended Zhang Wu and awarded him 1 yuan!"

After saying this, Li Yunlong handed the award to Zhang Wu. Zhao Gang immediately stepped forward, took out the silver dollars that had been prepared in advance, and put the big red flower and other things on Zhang Wu.

Amid the envious gazes and warm applause of the soldiers, Zhang Wu became the most handsome guy in the independent regiment!
Li Yunlong took the opportunity to boost morale and conduct military training, improve the coordination between the battalions and the various arms, grab the task of ambush the Japanese division, and achieve the goal of completely destroying the Japanese division!

With Zhang Wu's role model, the soldiers were inspired by Li Yunlong's few words, and no one complained even when Li Yunlong increased the intensity of training.

Everyone wants to improve their skills, like Zhang Wu, kill more Japanese devils, make more contributions, and become a national hero!

Zhang Wuze does not need to participate in training, he just needs to quietly be the most handsome guy in his independent regiment.

After resting for 3 days, he had nothing to do, so he entered the system space.

I just leveled up, it's time to upgrade my skills!
