The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Seeing that Zhang Wu had become the most handsome guy in the independent regiment, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to set Zhang Wu as a benchmark, boost morale and conduct military training, and carry out running-in training for each battalion and each branch of the army, so as to achieve the goal of being able to defeat or even completely destroy the Japanese Type C Division even if it was a positional battle with the Japanese.

With Zhang Wu's role model, Li Yunlong could inspire the soldiers to shout with just a few words. Even when the independent regiment started more arduous training, no one complained.

What Zhao Gang said made a lot of sense. Zhang Wu is so powerful. If they don't practice their skills well, won't they be holding Zhang Wu back?
Zhang Wuze doesn't need to participate, just quietly be the most handsome guy.

He planned to rest for a few days and then see if there were any large-scale battles. If not, he would apply to fight alone.

The Japanese have already carried out a strategic contraction, and the scale of future battles will only get bigger and bigger, so the speed at which he upgrades his skills must keep up.

He kept thinking that even if the Japanese planes didn't dive, he could still shoot down the targets with his rifle, even though the range was still several thousand meters!
He can rest, but Li Yunlong can't.

As the head of a regiment, Li Yunlong is responsible for the entire independent regiment. The more comprehensive his considerations for the next battle, the smaller the casualties of the independent regiment on the battlefield will be.

After handing over all the training to Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong looked at the strongholds and stations along the Tongpu Line and then focused his attention on Taiyuan, Linfen and Xinzhou.

The focus is Xinzhou.

Taiyuan and Linfen are both Type B divisions. With the current strength of the Independent Regiment, it is too difficult to fight against a Type B division, even though the 41st Division has just replaced its senior commander.

But the Type C division that Xinzhou is forming is different. It is one level lower than the Type B division. If we can lure them out again...

But he was now completely in the dark. Not only did he not know the Japanese's organization progress and specific garrison locations, he didn't even know the most basic troop deployment!

"Damn it, I still don't have enough information!"

After complaining helplessly, Li Yunlong found Zhao Gang and said to him:

"Old Zhao, send the specific information about our regiment's manpower and firepower to the brigade commander and tell him that the independent regiment is ready for battle. Please give instructions!"

Zhao Gang understood immediately:

"Ask the brigade commander to create opportunities for us to fight again?"

"Yeah, who let him control the way to contact the special committee? We don't have that condition."

Li Yunlong said as a matter of course:
"There are basically no Japanese soldiers within a hundred miles of us now. The nearest ones are the stations and strongholds on the Tongpu Line, but those are at most the size of garrison regiments, which is not enough for us to fill our teeth. We have 2 people, so we can only fight against the Japanese divisions!"

Zhao Gang was not surprised:

"Okay, I'll send a message to the brigade commander right away!"

After receiving the telegram from the independent regiment and looking at the specific troop allocation of the independent regiment, the brigade commander raised his eyebrows:
"My goodness! Li Yunlong has expanded a regiment to the size of an army. Look at his heavy weapons. Even the ace troops of the Central Army cannot defeat him!"

"Yes, Li Yunlong has many clever ideas for fighting, and with Zhang Wu here, our Eighth Route Army is developing the fastest!"

The Chief of Staff echoed:

"However, with their current strength, they are still not strong enough to provoke the Japanese Type B Division. Only the newly formed Maruyama Division in Xinzhou has a chance!

But according to the intelligence from the Special Committee, the Maruyama Division has not yet been fully formed. It currently only has a strength of 8000 people, and it will probably take another month to be fully formed!

But even if they have not been fully formed, as long as they defend Xinzhou, it will be difficult for the independent regiment to take it down!

Xinzhou is a big city, not an ordinary county town. We can only find a way to transfer the Maruyama Division. Otherwise, we have to mobilize 50,000 to 60,000 people to take it down!"

"Then let him wait for me!"

The brigade commander said directly:

"Warn Li Yunlong and tell him to behave himself... No, with Li Yunlong's courage, warnings are useless. We might as well move into Heyuan County and keep an eye on him, to prevent him from getting carried away and causing heavy casualties to his troops!
We can also use our brigade as bait to lure the Japanese to come for revenge and create opportunities for Li Yunlong to fight!"

Hearing this, the chief of staff thought for a moment, looked at Heyuan County on the map, and then said:

“Is it too early to enter Heyuan County?
Although Heyuan County is in the hinterland of the independent regiment's defense zone, it is well connected. To the south, past Anhua County and Wukou County, it is Linfen; to the east, past Ping'an County, it is Taiyuan; to the northeast, past Feng County and Fu'an, it is Xinzhou; in other directions, there are Luyang, Shuiquan, and Zhang County. There are too many possibilities for the Japanese to launch a surprise attack! "

"If you don't do this, how can the Japanese be fooled?"

The brigade commander smiled confidently:
"What's more, it's well connected to the Japanese, and it's also well connected to us. Heyuan County has many mountains, so even if the Japanese get under our noses, we still have time to retreat!
To be on the safe side, just set up a few more observation posts in all directions!

As for other small units, the guard regiment is enough to deal with the Japanese without the special forces!
It will also be convenient for us to command the New 772nd Regiment and the nd Regiment nearby!" The Chief of Staff heard something different. He looked at the map again and suddenly realized:
"One independent regiment is enough for Xinzhou. We don't need so many regiments... Your ultimate goal is to capture Linfen, right?"

"I can't hide anything from you!"

The brigade commander smiled again, and then said confidently:
"That's right. If we take Linfen, we will completely eliminate the Japanese threat to the Yellow River crossing, and we can go all out to recover the lost territory!
First the periphery, then Taiyuan, our 386th Brigade will take over the entire Shanxi Province sooner or later!"

The Chief of Staff said with an expression of approval:

"I think it's possible. After the Japanese's strategic contraction, they are mainly attacking a few large cities and the Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line. We also have an independent regiment that can lead the charge and resist the Japanese's divisions. We can definitely fight like this!"

The brigade commander nodded and finally made the decision:

"Call Li Yunlong back and tell him that the Maruyama Division has not been fully formed yet. Tell him to stay in Shimenbao. The brigade will be stationed in Heyuan County soon. There will be plenty of battles for him to fight...

It is better to send him the specific troop allocation of the Maruyama Division and let him prepare for the Maruyama Division, so that he will not dare to make trouble under our noses! "

The Chief of Staff agreed directly:
"Okay, I'll send the message right away."

"Moving into Heyuan County?"

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, Li Yunlong was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning of the message with just a raise of his eyebrows:
"Are you going to use the brigade headquarters as bait to lure out the Japanese?"

"No, no, even if you want to seduce the devil, you don't have to get so close!"

But he thought it was not that simple. After marking all the forces on the map, he finally understood:

"So the brigade commander's idea was to attack Linfen. That's good. No one can compete with me for the main attack!"

Zhao was a little confused at first, but he understood as soon as Li Yunlong explained. He looked at Li Yunlong and asked:
"So we're just going to train soldiers now?"

"What else can we do?"

Li Yunlong showed a hint of helplessness on his face:
"The brigade commander is watching us closely, but he doesn't give us much intelligence. We can't defeat the Japanese divisions by ourselves. Only Zhang Wu can attack the strongholds and stations on the Tongpu Line. The others can only train!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Then let Duan Peng notify Zhang Wu?"

Li Yunlong thought about it, but waved his hand:

"Forget it. That kid can't sit still. Sooner or later he will come and ask for a fight. Let him rest for two more days. Let's help him find out the nearest stronghold and station!"

Zhao Gang agreed directly:

"Okay, I'll send a message to the brigade commander!"

This time, the brigade commander didn't say anything more and directly sent the specific information about all the Japanese garrison nodes along the entire Tongpu Line to the independent regiment.

Just two days after Li Yunlong made preparations for Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu came to the regiment headquarters to apply to fight alone.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to rest more, it’s just that he has too many admirers!

In addition to the young girls and widows of Shimenbao, people from the surrounding twenty miles and sixteen villages also came to watch him. Some were bold enough to express their love directly and wanted to warm his bed.

In addition to these, many female students from big cities wrote to him, expressing their desire to travel thousands of miles to join the independent group just to be closer to him.

One of the letters was signed by Tian Yu, who even wrote him a love poem, saying something like "you are in me and I am in you", which made Zhang Wu laugh and cry.

Although Li Yunlong already has Comrade Xiuqin and Tian Yu is also very beautiful, Zhang Wuzhi is not here.

He traveled through time to kill the Japanese pirates. How can he have a home if the Japanese pirates are not eliminated?
In order to avoid being idle, he asked Li Yunlong to apply to fight alone.

Li Yunlong had already made preparations. He spread out the map and explained it to Zhang Wu in detail:
"Because the Japanese have withdrawn their defenses, there are no Japanese soldiers within a hundred miles of us. If you want to fight, you have to attack the stations and strongholds on the Tongpu Line.

The closest ones to us are the Maguan stronghold and Nanluan Station in the direction of Taiyuan..."
