The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

A gun and a commendation from the boss?

The brigade commander thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Well, Zhang Wu's performance this time was indeed good, and he also had the record of destroying the Japanese division for the first time. I will risk my reputation and try to get Zhang Wu a commendation from the boss!"

Become!

Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the regiment flag was not captured. He was afraid that the brigade commander would disagree!
But just as he was about to thank him, the brigade commander frowned and warned him:
"Don't be happy too soon!

This time the Japanese suffered a great loss again. According to the intelligence of the Special Committee, the Japanese did not stop their mopping-up operations. The remaining two brigades and one division would continue their mopping-up operations at intervals of half a day from each other.

You better behave yourself when you go back, kid. Don’t think about fighting the Japanese again before your strength has recovered!
If you act on your own and cause heavy casualties to the independent regiment, you won't be able to gain any advantage over the Japanese, and you'll also expose the independent regiment..."

"You just shot me!"

Li Yunlong took over the conversation loudly, then nodded and bowed to flatter:
"Don't worry, Brigade Commander. We can't start unless we digest the weapons and equipment and complete the expansion!

I will definitely be a good boy during this period, and when you, the brigade commander, think it’s appropriate, we will beat up those damn Japanese devils!”

"That's pretty much it!"

The brigade commander hummed with satisfaction and continued:

"Don't waste time, complete the delivery quickly, and your independent group should go back and rest as soon as possible!"

Li Yunlong stood at attention and said:

"Yes!"

As he said this, he asked Zhao Gang to take the battalion commander to hand over the weapons and equipment. Then he rolled his eyes and smiled flatteringly at the brigade commander:

"Commander, you've come all this way, thank you for your hard work. This time we seized a lot of Japanese canned beef. I've tasted them all, and they taste great. How about I open a few for you to try?"

"no!"

The brigade commander simply waved his hand and refused:
"I smoked one of your cigarettes, and you only gave me two conditions. If I want to eat another can of beef from you, I don't know how many conditions I will have to put in!
The food in my brigade is good, so you don't have to worry about it, Captain Li!"

Li Yunlong secretly cried out "what a pity", but said righteously:

"Commander, look at what you said. I just want to show my respect to you. I have absolutely no other intentions!"

The brigade commander curled his lips with an expression that said, "I don't believe you at all," and ignored Li Yunlong.

After the weapons were delivered and loaded onto the truck, the brigade commander asked Zhao Gang to write a battle report. Then he and the chief of staff sat in the new armored vehicle and went to Ding Wei's base with satisfaction.

"Commander, please take care!"

After seeing off the brigade commander, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang with a helpless look on his face:
"Well, let the brigade commander rob half of it, and because Iron Turtle gave Ding Wei a lot of other weapons, we'll be lucky if we can expand our army by 3000 people this time!"

"3000 people are not enough?"

Zhao Gang was stunned:

"After we make up for the losses and expand by 3000 more people, that's 16000. That's more than one and a half divisions. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Are you satisfied with this? Why are you acting like Kong Erlangzi now, so shallow-eyed?"

While Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to lead the troops to set off quickly, he looked at him with one eye wide open and the other small, and said to him with a pout:
"Didn't you hear what the brigade commander said? The Japs won't let us catch our breath this time and will continue our raid.

Moreover, the mopping-up operation was carried out by two brigades and one division half a day's journey apart. With insufficient manpower, how could we expect to wipe out all of them in half a day?
What's more, the Japs are getting worse and worse. We will have to counterattack sooner or later. How can you fight against the Japs' Type C Division, or even Type B Division or Type A Division if you have no soldiers?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong has already considered the follow-up. Zhao Gang said with a convinced look:

"Li Yunlong, you have a good strategic vision. I didn't think so far ahead!"

Li Yunlong raised his lips in satisfaction and said:
"Okay, as a political officer, it's already very impressive that you have such military capabilities!

Let’s not talk about this. When we get back, I will first reward you for three days. I have to keep my word! Then we must step up the recruitment. We have to complete the expansion in the shortest possible time and find an opportunity to beat the devils!”

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

Next, after two nights of forced march, the Independent Regiment returned to Shimenbao. After slaughtering chickens and pigs and rewarding the soldiers, the Independent Regiment began training, recruiting soldiers, and reorganizing again to prepare for the next battle.

On the other side, the brigade commander also robbed half of Ding Wei's weapons and equipment, and then returned to the brigade headquarters with satisfaction. He sorted out the combat report and the telegram requesting credit, and sent them to the headquarters. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the special committee, asking them to help buy another Karl 98K.

After receiving the telegram, Ke Gong of the Special Committee even issued instructions personally, ordering the Special Operations Departments in Tianjin and Shanghai to buy a gun for Zhang Wu as quickly as possible.

He even requested various professional sniper rifles, one for each!
Zhang Wu uses whichever one he likes!
Through his efforts during this period, he obtained a piece of intelligence from the ** International that in response to the worsening situation in the occupied areas, the shortage of troops, the continued low morale, and even the emergence of mutiny, the Japanese emperor's other cousin, Count Miyazawa, will visit the North China Garrison Command after the New Year to boost morale!

If we can kill Count Miyazawa, it will be a blow to the Japanese as badly as killing one of their generals!
The Japanese have killed important figures many times, so the protection of Count Miyazawa must be even tighter. There is only one chance. If they want to successfully behead him, it is better to borrow Zhang Wu.

He didn't want Zhang Wu's operation to fail because of the gun and waste this good opportunity!

While he was sending a telegram to the Shanghai Special Operations Group in Tianjin, the division commander at the headquarters also received a telegram from the brigade commander.

Looking at the contents of the telegram, the commander's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled:
"With the strength of two regiments, we wiped out an entire division of the Japanese in just half a day, and also seized so many heavy weapons...Haha, this year my 2th Division can have a good year!" As he said this, he walked quickly towards the boss, with a bigger smile on his face, and said:

"Boss, good news! The Japanese's large-scale mopping-up operation has not even begun yet, but the 386th Brigade's Independent Regiment and the New st Regiment have already wiped out their entire division in less than half a day at Luyunling in Zhang County!

The New 1st Regiment's casualty ratio was 1:1, and the Independent Regiment's casualty ratio was as high as 1.75:. Except for the tanks and armored vehicles that were destroyed by the Japanese, the rest of the heavy weapons were basically captured and brought back! "

An entire division was wiped out in less than half a day?
The boss' eyes widened in surprise. He took the message and read it impatiently. His eyes lit up instantly:
"With the strength of two regiments, they wiped out an entire division of the Japanese in less than half a day, and the casualties were so small. Haha, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei fought beautifully!

Li Yunlong has many clever ideas when fighting, and Ding Wei has the demeanor of a great general. They are indeed the most outstanding regimental commanders and fighters from the Fourth Front Army!"

After a pause, the boss seemed to remember something and looked at the teacher and said:
"Is this the first time that our Eighth Route Army has wiped out a division of the Japanese?"

"That's right!"

The commander nodded in agreement and began to commend Zhang Wu:

“However, if we want to know why these two regiments fought so well, it’s because of Zhang Wu!

This time, the Japanese's heavy weapons have exceeded the total of the two regiments. Only Zhang Wu, a strategic sharpshooter, can suppress all the Japanese's heavy artillery in the shortest time!
This was not the first time he had done this. Otherwise, how could the independent regiment always create miracles and wipe out the Japanese as a whole?

Such a good soldier is our reward! "

"That's right!"

The boss was very impressed with Zhang Wu, and he said without thinking:

"The last time, the independent regiment's infantry-tank coordinated tactics were trained by him. There was also the Japanese general before. In addition, this time, they wiped out an entire division of our Eighth Route Army...

Well, we should reward him well and give him the title of 'Eighth Route Army Combat Hero'!"

Speaking of the word "again", the boss couldn't help laughing:

"This is the nth time I have awarded him the title of 'Eighth Route Army Combat Hero'? This kid is really decisive, haha!"

Become!

The commander felt relieved. Just as he was about to thank him, he saw the boss put away his smile and warned him:
“But for Li Yunlong, we still have to tighten the reins!

He is different from Zhang Wu. This guy is always bold and reckless. If you dare to relax a little, he will kick you in the face!
The independent regiment now has tens of thousands of soldiers. If he makes a mistake, the independent regiment will suffer huge losses!
It is not easy to form an independent regiment, and it is even more difficult to maintain its current combat effectiveness. We cannot let such a good team suffer heavy casualties because of Li Yunlong!
When the time comes for the big counterattack, we will have to use his independent regiment to lead the charge, to get a good start!"

The teacher nodded and assured:

"Don't worry, Boss. Li Yunlong is much better now. He obeys orders now. We will also tighten the reins a little bit so that he can just be a sharp sword and not cause trouble everywhere!"

"Ok!"

The boss agreed, looked at the telegram again, then put it down with satisfaction and continued to study the situation in all parties in northwestern Shanxi.

The division commander went down to send the message.

As the news spread, northwest Shanxi was shaken again.

After hearing the news that the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment had cooperated to eliminate the Uesugi Division, Kong Jie slapped his thigh with a surprised expression:
"Damn it, I'm just unlucky. My divisions and brigades are all together, so I can't eat them. Otherwise, I could also get a bite of meat from the independent regiment!

Wow, a whole Japanese division, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei are so proud of themselves this time!"

His chief of staff said:

"We were able to fight so well because of Zhang Wu from the independent regiment! My fellow villager from the brigade said that Zhang Wu was the one who fired most of the Japanese's heavy weapons in the entire battle!"

"Yeah, except for Zhang Wu, who else could suppress the Japanese's heavy firepower so quickly?"

Kong Jie was not surprised at all. He said confidently:

"Without Zhang Wu, let alone their speed, it's doubtful whether they can destroy the Japanese division!"

As he said this, he knocked on the sole of the Tobacco Pipe King's foot:

"Damn it, they are clearly the iron triangle of Northwest Shanxi, why don't they take me to eat meat? No, send a telegram to Li Yunlong and tell him to cooperate with our New Second Regiment next time!

I can't wait to fight alongside Zhang Wu again, that would be so exciting!"

When he sent the message, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also received the news.

"Commander, the latest news is that the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment have completely wiped out the Japanese Uesugi Division at Luyunling in Zhang County!"

The Chief of Staff of the 358th Regiment, Fang Ligong, reported to Chu Yunfei with some shock:

"The Eighth Route Army wiped out an entire division of the Japanese with only two regiments of troops. I heard it took less than half a day. It's incredible..."
