The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Li Yunlong nodded to the battalion commander of the infantry battalion, then looked at the battalion commanders of the nine grenade launcher battalions:
"You should still form groups of three guns and companies as units, and disperse to the rear of each battalion to provide close-range fire support. This time we have reorganized two more grenade launcher battalions. How long will it take for infantry and artillery coordination and temporary adjustments?"

The commander of the 1st Grenade Launcher Battalion spoke again as a representative:
"Don't worry, Commander. The newly recruited grenade throwers are carefully selected. Even if they can't reach the level of the veterans who can fire wherever you point them in one minute, they will definitely be able to fire in two minutes."

"it is good!"

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction:
"Bring all the smoke bombs and grenades, and then make adjustments according to my orders."

"Yes!"

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

Li Yunlong then looked at Shuisheng. Without him asking, Shuisheng took the initiative to pat his chest and said:

"Don't worry, Commander. My situation is the same as that of the grenade launchers. The two newly reorganized artillery battalions are all main shooters who were promoted from apprentices in the previous battle. They will be a little slower, but 2 minutes for infantry artillery and 3 minutes for mountain artillery will definitely be no problem, whether it is temporary adjustment, salvo fire, or single-gun bombardment!"

"Good job! Your artillery has been busy during this period. I am relieved now!"

After praising them, Li Yunlong made the specific arrangements:

"The Japs have a lot of heavy weapons this time, and your artillerymen are my treasures. I will be heartbroken if any casualties occur.

You guys should stay outside Highway 2, mark the artillery elements and fire in unison. After three rounds, the mountain artillery battalion and the mixed battalion will suppress the Japanese field artillery battalion and mountain artillery battalion, leaving time for our Zhang Wu to go out and kill the Japanese bastard!

Two infantry artillery battalions were divided into three parts to deal with the mountain artillery and rapid-fire artillery of the three regiments of the Japanese devils.

Then adjust according to my orders at any time. Zhang Wu fights one and you retreat one!"

"Yes!"

All the artillery battalion commanders stood at attention and puffed out their chests.

Li Yunlong looked at the commanders of the armored and submachine gun companies and the special forces again:

"You should stay with our Iron Turtle until the heat is right, then come here according to my orders and push the Japs down one by one!"

"Yes!"

They also stood at attention and agreed.

Li Yunlong finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, I'll give you 300 rounds of ammunition this time. I'll have each battalion prepare 300 rounds for you. First, attack the Japanese headquarters and the Iron Turtle. If the planes come, shoot them down. The rest of the focus will be on the Japanese field artillery battalions, mountain artillery battalions, and mountain artillery squadrons of each regiment."

After a pause, he continued as if he remembered something:

"And their regiment-level rapid-fire artillery squadrons and battalion-level anti-tank guns. These are the damn Japanese devils who specifically target our Iron Turtle Army. If we don't kill them, our Iron Turtle Army won't be able to advance quickly!"

"Don't worry, Commander. Leave all this to me. I will never let the Japanese get ahead of us!"

Zhang Wu smiled, his eyes full of fighting spirit and confidence as he said:
"The Japanese division is nothing special, we are fighting against the division!"

"Good job, this is really encouraging!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and reminded him again:

"The New 1st Regiment certainly doesn't have many heavy weapons. We can't count on them for this kind of large-scale battle. We have to wipe out the Uesugi Division before the Japanese ground reinforcements arrive, and reduce our regiment's casualties. It all depends on you!"

Li Yunlong's words resonated with the other battalion commanders. They looked at Zhang Wu and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, with Zhang Wu here, the Japanese won't be able to cause any trouble, and our casualties won't be too great!"

"That's right, our Zhang Wu is the ancestor of the little devils. Is it okay for the little devils to disrespect their ancestors?"

"No problem, my battalion will prepare 400 rounds for Zhang Wu!"

When people had finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. When has Zhang Wu ever disappointed anyone?"

He glanced at everyone and finally said:
"According to the intelligence from the brigade commander, the Japanese also have sharpshooters this time. The rules are still the same as before. Officers and soldiers cannot make too big command movements and cannot salute on the battlefield. If you find a Japanese sharpshooter, notify the grenade launcher company behind them first and use smoke bombs to delay. When our Zhang Wu goes over there to attack the regiment-level heavy weapons, arrange for the messenger to wait for him and kill the Japanese sharpshooter!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood at attention and agreed.

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, let's go down and get ready. We'll set off at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening!"

"Yes!"

After everyone stood at attention and saluted, they filed out of the regiment headquarters and went downstairs to prepare.

After everyone left, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang:
"The Japanese are coming with great force this time. If we destroy one of their divisions, they may not give up.

You should take your direct company to cover our logistics and go into the mountains with the common people. Each recruitment point should recruit soldiers secretly. We must be prepared to fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese for the next few months!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"No problem, I'll take care of these!"

Looking at Zhao Gang's back, Li Yunlong was not idle either. After sending the specific combat operations to the brigade commander, he sent a telegram to Ding Wei, wanting to discuss the specific ambush deployment.

After some bargaining, the two finally decided that the New 1st Regiment would ambush one and a half regiments of the Japanese in the front on the south side of Luyunling, and the Independent Regiment would ambush the remaining Japanese on the north side of Luyunling. Based on the signal sent by Li Yunlong, they would attack the Uesugi Division together.

Moreover, in response to the frequent reconnaissance by Japanese aircraft, the two men also made corresponding plans in case of accidents in which they might be discovered in advance.

However, in terms of captured spoils, because of its great contribution, the Independent Regiment accounted for 7% of the captured spoils this time, but in return, the Independent Regiment had to send Zhang Wu to help the New st Regiment deal with the Japanese tanks.

After he confirmed the specific ambush distribution, the entire independent regiment moved in an orderly manner. Some distributed ammunition, some prepared dry food, some were on guard, and some conducted advance reconnaissance.

Comrade Xiuqin made full use of the role of women holding up half the sky, helping Zhao Gang to protect the baggage and the common people into the mountains, and making plans to stay in the mountains for a long time.

Zhang Wu received 300 rounds of bullets, packed his weapons and equipment, and waited for the day of departure.

In the evening of the next day, after dinner, he heard the assembly call.

Knowing that they were about to set off, he quickly packed his ghillie suit, two pistols, a dagger, bullets and other combat equipment, and headed for the assembly point with his Carl 2K.

After arriving at the assembly point and waiting for all the soldiers to gather, Li Yunlong began to make pre-war mobilization.

He didn't need to say much. With the inspiration from Zhang Wu killing General Shouchuan, the soldiers were already holding back their energy and shouting:
"No problem, kill the devils!"

"That's right, I want to be a hero of our nation like Zhang Wu!"

Zhang Wu's role as a role model was highlighted. Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and led the soldiers to leave Shimenbao in batches. Under the cover of night, they headed straight for Luyunling in Zhang County.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the independent regiment also brought enough fuel this time. After five days of hiding during the day and moving at night, following the main force, they arrived at Luyunling. Luyunling runs east-west, with a total length of 5 kilometers, many twists and turns in the middle, and the mountains on both sides are 30 meters away from the road. The slope is not steep but there are many obstacles. There are several valleys six or seven hundred meters away in the mountains where soldiers can hide. It is a good place for a large army to ambush.

When the independent regiment arrived, the new regiment had already arrived.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to take the battalion commander to walk the entire Luyunling Mountain, but Ding Wei, who came over, waved his hand and said:
"No need to look again. I've checked it all. The actual terrain is not much different from what's on the map. Just ask the battalion and company commanders to lead their soldiers to familiarize themselves with the terrain!"

Seeing that he had done all the advance work, Li Yunlong laughed and said:

"Haha, Lao Ding, you really are a military strategist. You've thought of everything for me!"

As he spoke, he arranged for the battalion and company commanders to take their respective soldiers to familiarize themselves with the terrain, preset firepower configurations, disguise valleys where soldiers were hiding, and so on.

"No problem, we are brothers!"

In order to seize the spoils, Ding Wei laughed it off and started to play the victim:
"But Lao Li, you also know that the weapons and equipment of my New 1st Regiment are far inferior to yours. Last time, I helped you hold back the Japanese and blew up all the bridges in the defense zone. I didn't ask you for any benefits afterwards, did I?"

Li Yunlong was so smart that he guessed his purpose immediately. Before he could finish, he interrupted him, looked at him with one eye wide open and the other small, and said with a pout:
"Okay, I told you you're fat and you're out of breath. Damn it, Ding Wei, you're really a person who won't do anything without a profit!

But if you want to get more spoils, you have to show your strength!

For this battle, I have prepared a total of 13000 troops. Even without your Ding Wei's New Regiment, we can still destroy the Uesugi Division!

Your new regiment has only 7000 men and your heavy weapons are even worse.

You only have one artillery battalion, less than 1 grenade launchers, and the light and heavy machine guns combined are less than the number of my three battalions. With such little strength, I'll leave you 40% of the spoils, that's already very considerate!

I remember when I asked you for the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng, you even took my two machine guns. I didn’t let you down this time!
As for the rest, don’t go around in circles! "

Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng!
Unexpectedly, the boomerang hit him again after a few years. Ding Wei opened his mouth but could not speak. After a while, he could only pinch his nose and agree:

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. 3% is 3%, but from now on, you have to cooperate with my New st Regiment to fight the Japanese!"

"Haha, easy to talk about!"

Li Yunlong grinned:
"As long as the price is right, even if you want to attack Taiyuan, I won't say a word!"

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing and scolding:

"It's his mother, you want to fight, right?"

In order to prepare for the ambush as quickly as possible, the two did not talk much. After Ding Wei left, Li Yunlong made a preset for the possible ambush, and began to mark the artillery elements with Shuisheng. He withdrew the 8 infantry guns that were attacking Ding Wei's target and changed them into groups of 2 to attack the battalion-level infantry guns in the rear of the Japanese.

While they were busy, Zhang Wu was also carrying his gun and looking for a suitable sniping point.

He had to attack the Japanese command post first and then the Japanese tanks. He couldn't place the sniper point too far back, otherwise, the 15 Japanese tanks would be dispersed and would take too long to travel.

Fortunately, his attack range now reached 1000 meters, so he found a suitable sniper point near the 2rd Battalion where the 3nd Battalion was located.

This place is 350 meters away from the highway in a straight line. There are many rocks and bushes in front blocking the view, but there is a small path in the back that can be used to quickly move forward and backward. If the Japanese cannot all enter the ambush circle, it will also be convenient for him to go to the back and beat the Japanese.

After telling Li Yunlong the location, he went to the valley where the soldiers were hiding to rest.

After three days of hiding during the day and moving at night to familiarize themselves with the camouflage, except for the remote observation posts arranged by Li Yunlong, the messengers along the way, and the tanks and submachine gun companies hiding on the road, all the others entered the valley to avoid the reconnaissance of the Japanese aircraft.

The same is true for the new group.

Over the past three days, the Japanese planes have appeared very frequently, sometimes flying over their heads several times a day.

I hope that when the independent regiment enters the position, the Japanese planes don’t come!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Wu could only pray secretly. If the Uesugi Division could not all enter the ambush circle, it would be difficult to destroy him!
In this way, as he prayed, the day passed quickly, and the day of the Uesugi Division's arrival came.

That day, Zhang Wu got up early, ate some dry food and water, and after the Japanese planes flew back and forth twice, the [warning] finally started to sound the alarm in his mind:

[Warning, warning, the east direction is threatened, type: enemy, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

coming!

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows, quickly took out bullets to fill the magazine of the Carl 98K, and made preparations to enter the position.

There was a long-range observation post, and Li Yunlong received the news earlier than Zhang Wu. Through the camouflage, he saw the Japanese scouts approaching for reconnaissance. After they failed to see through the camouflage of the independent regiment and left, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to enter the position.

Zhang Wu also took his gun and quickly entered his sniper point, then pointed the gun towards the east, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and waited for the Japanese to arrive.

He didn't have to wait long before the main force of the Uesugi Division came into his field of vision.

They are all great experiences!

Looking at the rows and columns of infantry, mule-drawn carriages, trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, second lieutenants, first lieutenants, captains, majors, riflemen, machine gunners, grenade launchers, and anti-tank gunners, constantly passing by him, Zhang Wu couldn't help swallowing and praying again:

Just go like this, don’t take the plane!

Maybe he was lucky, or maybe it was because two Japanese planes had just left and he happened to catch the vacuum period in between. After the three Japanese regiments, each with three tanks and three armored vehicles, had all passed by, six tanks led the way, followed by six armored vehicles, and then field artillery and mountain artillery pulled by trucks, and two guard battalions, all entered the ambush circle.

The commander of the Type D Division is also a lieutenant general? !
After Zhang Wu quickly marked out the 1 lieutenant general, 3 colonels and 5 lieutenant colonels of the Japanese division headquarters in the armored vehicle, he felt a little strange. The Type D division only had 11000 people, but it had a lieutenant general!

Lieutenant General is also good, with high experience!

Ignoring what the Japs were doing, Zhang Wu found Lieutenant General Uesugi's attack angle. While the muzzle of his gun moved with him, he anxiously waited for Li Yunlong's order.

almost!

On the other side, after seeing all the Japanese soldiers 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 with a shrill sound, officially sounding the alarm for the Uesugi Division.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

The soldiers of the two regiments who received the signal all pulled the triggers of their weapons. Various bullets and artillery shells formed a rain of bullets in the air and hit the Japanese in an instant, directly splitting them into four sections and taking away thousands of their lives!

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

Snapped

Lieutenant General Uesugi was resting with his eyes closed in the armored vehicle, leaning on his officer's sword. Before he heard any gunfire, he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a Japanese lieutenant general, gain experience 720. (7139/16000)]
