The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Snapped

The mountain gunner had just finished loading, and before he could close the bolt, he was shot through the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a gunner from Guizi Mountain, gain experience 35. (13629/16000)]

Still 2371 experience points left!
Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu calculated the experience points he still needed and became more motivated.

At the same time, Li Yunlong, who had been observing the battlefield, also keenly discovered that the Japanese field artillery had stopped making any sound.

No matter whether the Japanese field gunners were killed by Zhang Wu or they were beaten so hard that they dared not show their heads, it was good news for Li Yunlong. This meant that Zhang Wu would attack the mountain artillery battalion with all his strength, and he could liberate the entire mixed artillery battalion!

"Haha, Zhang Wu is really awesome!"

After confirming this, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately gave the order:
"Tell Shuisheng's mixed artillery battalion to stop bombing the Japanese mountain artillery battalion. Just hand it over to Zhang Wu. Tell him to divide these 10 guns into groups of 2 and bomb the Japanese mountain artillery squadron and infantry artillery squad for me!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

While he was making adjustments, Zhang Wu was also quickly sniping the Japanese mountain artillerymen.

Locking onto the red dot of a Japanese mountain gunner, he instantly swung his gun over, aimed at the red dot, and with the help of [Lock 2], fired a shot.

Snapped

The 7.92mm rifle bullet arrived in an instant, and before the mountain gunner could react, Zhang Wu shot him in the head, and his body fell to the ground on the spot.

[Ding, kill a gunner from Guizi Mountain, gain experience 35. (13664/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, he quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, then aimed at the red dot of a mountain gunner and repeated the same trick, firing another shot.

Snapped

The red dot was destroyed by Zhang Wu in an instant.

[Ding, kill a gunner from Guizi Mountain, gain experience 35. (13699/16000)]

Just like that, Zhang Wu combined his skills very smoothly, relying on the enhanced firing rate of [Physical Fitness 2] to frantically sniper the Japanese mountain gunners.

In less than 5 minutes, he killed 60 mountain gunners and gained 2100 experience points.

This was because the messenger along the way delayed him for 2 minutes and the mixed artillery battalion of the independent regiment robbed him of a lot of money, otherwise he would have been upgraded long ago!
But now he is only 201 experience points away, which is just a matter of 6 mountain gunners!

But just as he continued to work hard to upgrade, [Warning] suddenly sounded an alarm in his mind:

[Warning, warning, there will be a fatal threat to the southeast, type: reconnaissance aircraft, bomber, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

Reconnaissance planes, bombers!

Zhang Wu's heart trembled, and he quickly raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it towards the southeast.

The Japanese planes are too fast and the damage is too high, he must deal with the Japanese planes first!
Moreover, as long as the Japanese planes dare to dive, two of them will be enough for him to upgrade!

With the remote observation post, Li Yunlong received the news faster than him. He immediately made adjustments:
"Quick, get the machine gunners in the plane trap ready. If the Japanese plane dares to dive, rush to Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu will deal with the diving Japanese plane.

Have all the grenade launchers replace their smoke bombs and release them at our positions and those of the Japanese at the same time. The Japanese planes may not dive, so let them bomb the Japanese on the ground as well!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

After glancing at the messenger's back, Li Yunlong gave another order:
"With the planes coming and the smoke rising, the Japs will definitely take the opportunity to intensify their offensive and get closer to each other, hoping to connect head to tail. We can't let them succeed.

Order the entire regiment to intensify the attack. Offense is the best defense, and it will prevent the Japanese from withdrawing more troops to get closer to each other.

Order the Japanese battalions at the gap and at both ends to give them time to approach each other, so that they can crash into our firepower network on their own.

Shuisheng changed the direction of the 10 guns that had not been adjusted properly and bombed the Japanese troops at the broken point.

Let the grenade launcher battalion at the break join in after launching the smoke bombs. We must not let the Japanese take advantage of the opportunity to attack back!"

"Yes!"

The second wave of messengers went down again to deliver the message.

While Li Yunlong was making adjustments, the Japanese also received news that their planes were about to arrive.

"吆西!"

The Japanese colonel in command's eyes lit up, and he quickly called the signalman and the messenger and ordered:
"Send a telegram to the three squadrons ahead. The Imperial planes are coming. Tell them to proceed according to the original plan."

He then emphasized:
"Especially in the direction of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, we must shoot more of him. Even if we can't kill him, we must buy time for our two artillery battalions!"

"Hai!"

The signalman immediately went down to send the message.

The colonel said to the messenger:
"Let the field artillery return to the position now and provide volley support to the front as soon as possible. The Empire's planes are coming, and the sharpshooter Zhang Wu will not be able to attack them so quickly!"

"Ha!" The messenger also went down to deliver the message.

As his orders were issued, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was greatly boosted. While mobilizing firepower to launch a fierce attack, after seeing the independent regiment firing smoke bombs, they immediately fired red smoke bombs at the independent regiment's position.

"Oh no! The Japs are directing their planes!"

Seeing the red smoke, Li Yunlong's face changed drastically, and he quickly gave the order:

"Quick, tell the nearby soldiers to throw back the Japanese smoke bombs, otherwise when the Japanese planes come, we will suffer heavy casualties!"

"Quick, quick, follow me!"

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Dabiao personally brought a group of messengers with him, and they all went down quickly to pass on the order.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong reacted quickly and threw down another smoke bomb before the Japanese plane arrived.

Although the missiles were more than 200 meters away and could not reach the Japanese positions, at least the independent regiment would not suffer too many casualties.

Seeing that there was not so much red on the battlefield, Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to remember something and instantly looked in the direction of Zhang Wu.

When he saw that a larger area of ​​red smoke was rising from the area where Zhang Wu was, and Zhang Wu was already running out of the smoke, his heart finally eased a little.

Not only him, Zhao Gang also noticed this, he said anxiously:
"Old Li, quickly get the soldiers to help Zhang Wu throw the smoke bomb back..."

"No need, our Zhang Wu has discovered the Japs' plot and is running away!"

Li Yunlong interrupted him instantly, waved his hand and said:
"That guy is very smart. His strategic vision and control over the battlefield are sometimes better than mine. He must have guessed the Japs' intentions!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he looked at the plane that was getting closer and closer in the sky. His heart, which had just been relieved, began to hang in the air again. He stared at Zhang Wu's direction with the telescope, the pointer turning white due to the effort. He seemed to be comforting Zhao Gang, but more like comforting himself, his voice trembled:

"Zhang Wu, you better run faster. Don't let anything happen to you! You're my only good brother. If you die, I'll regret it to death..."

With Li Yunlong's wisdom, Zhang Wu saw the Japanese intentions when he saw the red smoke around him, and immediately moved away with his gun and bullets.

But his hatred value is too high!
The red smoke bombs released by the Japanese in his direction had a very large range. He was already running towards the weakest point, but before he ran out of the red smoke range, the Japanese planes arrived and began to drop bombs according to the red range.

吱

Along with the shrill sound of bombs falling, [Warning] kept ringing in his mind:
[Warning, warning, there is a fatal threat ahead, type: aerial bomb, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

[Warning, warning, there is a fatal threat to the left front...]

[…There will be a fatal threat from behind…]

[…directly to the left…]

【…】

Damn it!
Hearing the system's alarms from all directions, Zhang Wu knew that he could not escape this time. He did not have time to think about anything else. He quickly discovered a groove 2 meters away through [Telescope 2] and [Night Vision], and rushed over with all his might.

Boom boom boom boom
Before he could dive in, bombs exploded all around him.

噗噗
2nd [Absolute Defense 2] was instantly penetrated!

What the hell!

His heart skipped a beat, but he threw himself forward regardless of the consequences, and finally entered the groove when the third [Absolute Defense 3] was penetrated.

puff puff puff
The shock wave of the bomb, mixed with dirt and gravel, instantly passed by the side of the groove and hit the opposite mountain wall, leaving it with pockmarks.

It was so damn dangerous!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wu shrank tightly into the groove, trying to make his body as small as possible and endure the shock wave from the mountain.

Fortunately, thanks to his [Physical Fitness 2] fast recovery ability, he was not seriously injured.

But as his pupils contracted rapidly, his heartbeat had already reached 180, and he couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he had upgraded [Absolute Defense 2] before, and that [Physical Fitness 2] allowed him to hide in at the last moment, otherwise, he would have been killed by the Japanese plane!
Just a little bit different!
While he was rejoicing, the Japanese planes came and left quickly, and had already completed a wave of bombing and flew past.

Damn it!
Watching the Japanese plane flying away and about to circle back, Zhang Wu's eyes flashed with cruelty. He immediately took his gun and moved away from the range of the red smoke while quickly pulling the bolt to load the bullet.

If he doesn't kill the Japanese who are ten or a hundred times more numerous than him, he would really be letting them down by targeting him and releasing such a large-scale smoke bomb!
With the help of [Physical Fitness 2], he had already moved away from the smoke range before the Japanese plane returned, and found a semi-arch-like position with a cover on it as his sniper point.

Without the three chances of [Absolute Defense 2], he had to prevent the Japanese planes from accidentally hitting him.

He never believed in luck, and the correct answer was to pay attention to the Japanese tactically!

After putting down the bullet, Zhang Wu stretched out his gun and saw the Japanese field gunner popping up again. He aimed at the red dot of a field gunner and fired a shot with the help of [Lock 2].

Snapped

The field gunner was adjusting the angle of his field gun, but before he could finish, he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu and went to meet their emperor ahead of time.

[Ding, kill a Japanese field gunner, gain 40 experience points. (15839/16000)]
