The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Li Yunlong has provided such good shooting conditions, Zhang Wu must return the favor and kill the entire artillery regiment as quickly as possible!

By the way, use the lives of these Japanese artillerymen to upgrade and start a snowball effect.

While thinking about this, he kept moving his hands. He aimed at the red dot of a field gunner between the wall of Japanese infantrymen, and after a slight adjustment with [Lock 3], he fired a shot.

Snapped

The field gunner had just picked up the shell, but before he could reload it, Zhang Wu shot him in the head, and his body fell to the ground dead on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese field gunner, gain 40 experience points. (9007/16000)]

Still 6993 experience points left!
Hearing the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu became more motivated. While he quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the red dot of another field gunner. He repeated the same method and fired another shot.

Snapped

The 7.62mm rifle bullet instantly pierced the field gunner's head, and the representative's bombardment was immediately extinguished.

[Ding, kill a Japanese field gunner, gain 40 experience points. (9047/16000)]

In this way, Zhang Wu combined his skills to the extreme and sniped the Japanese artillery regiment madly.

In less than 8 minutes, he killed 172 field gunners and 1 major, and gained a total of 6960 experience points, which was enough to earn him a level above rank.

[Ding, the host has been detected to have been upgraded, and a copy ability exchange voucher is awarded. Do you want to use it? Please select, yes/no? ]

Finally upgraded!
Listening to the upgrade prompt sound, Zhang Wu raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction. While continuing to sniper the Japanese artillery, he separated his consciousness and entered the system space.

Gold that is not in your hands is not as good as copper in your hands. Upgrading it as soon as possible will allow him to attack the Japanese faster!

Attack the Japanese faster?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why not upgrade [Physical Fitness 3] first?"
He had previously planned to upgrade [Telescope 3]. Although 1+1>2, which could increase the field of view and the range for selecting the Japanese to 400 meters, it did not increase the attack speed much.

This time, he attacked the entire field artillery regiment. If he continued with the previous attack speed, he could suppress one field artillery battalion, but what about the other two mountain artillery battalions?
Thinking about the power of 24 mountain cannons firing at the same time, Zhang Wu felt that it would be better to upgrade [Physical Fitness 3] first according to the usual priority!
Li Yunlong often said that fighting a war cannot be rigid and dogmatic, but must be based on actual conditions. He cannot let the independent regiment suffer heavy casualties because of his wrong choice!
That’s right, upgrade [Physical Fitness 3] first!
After making up his mind, he shouted in the system space:
"System, open my attribute panel!"

[Copy Ability Exchange Voucher: 3 (Can be used to purchase skill upgrade vouchers, purchase ratio 1:1)]

Looking at his attribute panel, he did not hesitate this time and directly purchased 3 skill upgrade coupons, then clicked on the upgrade instructions for [Physical Fitness 3]:

[Physical Fitness 3, can be upgraded to Physical Fitness 3 using 4 Skill Upgrade Coupons. Physical Fitness 4 allows the skill equipper to permanently obtain the physical strength of a 60-year-old monk, and increase punch and kick speed, explosive power, endurance, and recovery ability! ]

That's it!

After confirming the skills again, Zhang Wu instantly clicked on the upgrade.

[Ding, physical fitness 3 has been upgraded to physical fitness 4! ]

He couldn't wait to exit the system space and equipped [Physical Fitness 4]. He instantly felt his body lighten. The fatigue from continuous running and attacking just now was swept away. At the same time, the speed of searching for the Japanese and pulling the bolt became faster.

He even realized at the first moment that the Japanese had mobilized grenade launchers, infantry guns, and anti-tank guns to carry out covering bombardment in the direction where he was!

What a skill!
Zhang Wu immediately understood that the Japanese were targeting him. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. It was absolutely right to upgrade [Physical Fitness 4] first!
He didn't care about the Japanese's targeting. With the [Early Warning], he had enough time to move 50 meters in advance. He was now eager to sacrifice the lives of the Japanese to use his new skills!

By the way, test how much [Physical Fitness 4] can increase his firing speed in one minute!
Zhang Wu quickly found a Japanese field gunner and swung his gun over, aiming at the field gunner's red dot. With the help of [Lock 3], he fired a shot.

Snapped

The field gunner had just loudly indicated that he had finished reloading when Zhang Wu shot him in the head and his body fell to the ground on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese field gunner, gain 40 experience points. (47/16000)]

The firing rate is indeed faster!

Hearing the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. He pulled the bolt to load the bullet faster, found a captain next to him, and did the same thing, firing another shot.

Snapped

Just as the captain was about to order the troops to open fire, he was shot down by Zhang Wu, joining his subordinates.

[Ding, kill a Japanese captain and gain 60 experience points. (107/16000)]

Next, after discovering that the firing rate could reach 1 rounds per minute, Zhang Wu attacked the Japanese artillery even more frantically.

In less than 20 minutes, he not only killed 400 field gunners of the field artillery battalion, but also killed 2 mountain gunners of two mountain artillery battalions, three captains, and six lieutenants. He gained a total of 100 experience points and steadily advanced to a higher level.

This was still a common occurrence. Too many Japanese field gunners died, and it was difficult for the remaining ones to find shooting angles. The artillery of the guard battalion forced him to change to a sniper position with a groove, otherwise he could have killed more.

Under his attack, the field artillery battalion became completely single-shot, and the two mountain artillery battalions also lost the possibility of full salvo fire due to the rapid replacement of artillery. They could only fire three or four guns at a time, and they had to use their lives to fill the gaps, and this had to be done at long intervals.

"Baga, isn't it possible that the sharpshooter Zhang Wu can only suppress one artillery battalion? How come the entire artillery regiment was suppressed by him?"

Upon discovering that something was wrong with the artillery regiment, the Japanese colonel in command immediately sent a messenger to check it out.

When learning about the current situation of their artillery regiment, the pupils of the Japanese colonel's little bitch eyes shrank to the extreme and he was directly shocked.

Their artillery regiment was bombarded by three artillery battalions of the independent regiment for more than half an hour, and less than 3 people died. However, Zhang Wu only fought for less than half an hour, and nearly 200 people died...

"Baga, isn't Zhang Wu the magic spear too powerful?"

After a while, the Japanese colonel reacted and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After cursing in incompetence and rage, he could only make adjustments again:

"Let the remaining 65 warriors of the field artillery battalion hide. The Empire's planes will be here soon. If they all die, there will be no warriors left to operate the division's field artillery!"

Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
The sharpshooter Zhang Wu is really too powerful!
After sighing, he took over and gave the order:

"Have the two warriors of the Mountain Artillery Battalion hold steady. The Empire's planes will be here soon. The observers of the Guard Battalion have been marking the sniper range and movement trajectory of Sharpshooter Zhang Wu.

When the plane arrives, we can use special smoke bombs to mark the area and let the plane kill Zhang Wu the sharpshooter!"

"Hai!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also noticed the rapid decline of the Japanese artillery regiment, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Damn it, Zhang Wu's attack speed has increased again!"

Li Yunlong blinked his eyes, still in shock, and said to Zhao Gang beside him:

"This time, this guy attacked an entire Japanese artillery regiment, which is three times the number of the previous artillery battalion. I was prepared to take an hour to suppress the Japanese artillery regiment, but he did it in less than half an hour...

One thing at a time, this kid is making rapid progress!"

"Isn't that good?"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but curl his lips and said:

"From being outnumbered by the Japs' heavy firepower to being able to suppress them all the time, it's all because of Zhang Wu. With him, I think it won't take a few hours, and we can wipe out the entire Maruyama Division before dark!"

"Yes, I was planning to attack at night, and even asked the Fu'an County Brigade to organize the masses at night!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement and couldn't help laughing:

"Now it's all fucking early!"

As he spoke, he showed an expression of pride in Zhang Wu and said complacently:
"These are my Li Yunlong's soldiers!"

As if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhao Gang and asked:

"When you agreed with the Fu'an County Brigade, where did you want them to come from? Did you forget to bring the 5 yuan?"

"I've got them all with me, don't worry!"

Zhao Gang said directly:

"We agreed with them that they should organize 5 people today and come from Hulushan in the evening."

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said directly to a messenger who was familiar with the terrain:
"Go to Hulushan to look for the county brigade in Fu'an. Once you find them, bring them here directly. If they come and we haven't killed the Japanese yet, you just wait outside Wupangou for a while!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately ran towards Hulu Mountain.

Looking at the messenger's back, Zhao Gang suggested with a relaxed look:
"Old Li, considering Zhang Wu's contribution to this battle, our regiment suffered thousands less casualties. Isn't the award from a division commander too little?"

“It’s a bit unkind!”

Li Yunlong also felt that Zhang Wu's reward should be increased:
"In this case, let's apply for a commendation from the CEO for him. Only the CEO's commendation is worthy of him!"

While they were discussing adding money to Zhang Wu's reward, the Fu'an County Brigade had already arrived at Hulu Mountain with 5 people organized in Fu'an. The people were holding shoulder poles, crowbars, ropes, and some were pushing wheelbarrows with their own dry food on them.

I heard that they were going to help the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it was a well-known independent regiment. Once the news spread, there was no need for the county brigade to mobilize, and no less than 10 people came spontaneously to participate.

Even though the team leader repeatedly stated that the number of people exceeded the requirement, people from farther places continued to arrive.

Not for the wages, they were willing to help the Eighth Route Army even if they had no money.

The 5 people brought by the county brigade were all carefully selected. They are strong and can carry heavy objects and run fast in the mountains.

Climbing onto a large rock, the captain of the county brigade said loudly:

"Fellow villagers, we still have half a day until our appointment with the Independent Regiment. Let's rest here first and go to Wupangou in the evening!"

"No, we're not tired!"

The crowd all waved their hands, with simple smiles on their faces, and said:
"Yes, it's better to hurry up sooner rather than later. The matter of our Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is important. It won't hurt to go there earlier!"

"That's right. If it weren't for the independent regiment, Fu'an would still be occupied by the Japanese. How could we have the good life now with farmland to plant, hope to have, and be able to make our own decisions?"

Seeing what the crowd said, the captain quickly explained:

"It's not just a rest. There's a war going on over there. This time the independent regiment is fighting more than 1 Japanese devils. We can't go over there and hold the independent regiment back!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we can't affect the independent regiment!"

The crowd was willing to stop and rest, but they still said with longing:
"It would be great if we could see the independent regiment killing the Japanese!"

"Yes, everyone in the independent regiment is a hero. Killing the Japanese is as easy as killing a chicken!"

"Yes, there is also Zhang Wu, the sharpshooter. He is a great hero of our nation!"

"That's right, the magic gun Zhang Wu is the Wu Qu star from the sky who came down to earth to kill the devils!"

While they were praising Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu was not idle either. He was sniping at the Japanese artillery regiment.

"Oh, you're hiding now? Isn't that the way of the samurai? Aren't you afraid of death? It's all just bullying!"

Seeing that the red dots of the field artillerymen were hiding, Zhang Wu curled up his lips in sneer, immediately shifted his gun, and began to attack the two mountain artillery battalions of the Japanese with all his strength.

Finding a Japanese mountain gunner in a gap in the wall, Zhang Wu immediately swung his gun over, aimed at the red dot, and with the help of [Lock 3], fired a shot.

Snapped

The mountain gunner was adjusting the artillery extension as required, but before he finished, he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu and went to meet their emperor ahead of time.

[Ding, kill a gunner from Guizi Mountain, gain experience 35. (4062/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu hummed with satisfaction. He continued to pull the bolt quickly to load the bullet. Seeing a major next to him show his head, he immediately aimed the muzzle of the gun at the major's red dot and fired another shot in the same way.

Snapped

Before the lieutenant colonel could react, Zhang Wu shot him in the head and his body fell to the ground dead on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese major and gain 80 experience points. (4142/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, he quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet again, but before he could aim the gun at the next target, [Warning] suddenly started to sound the 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...]

The Japanese planes are coming?!

Zhang Wu was startled. The plane was going too fast and he didn't have time to change positions. He quickly moved to the groove, raised his gun and aimed it at the southeast sky.

Fortunately, when he chose the sniper position, he chose one next to a groove that could protect against bombing. Otherwise, once the Japanese guided his position, he would be in great danger!
He will never forget the lesson of defeating the Uesugi Division!
Of course, if the Japs dared to dive, he wouldn't mind shooting down a few of them!

On the other side, with a remote observation post, Li Yunlong received the news of the arrival of the Japanese planes earlier than Zhang Wu.

"Oh no, the Japanese planes are coming!"

With a frown on his face, Li Yunlong quickly gave an order to the messenger waiting beside him:

"Let the machine gunners of the plane trap be ready. If the Japanese planes dare to dive, rush to Zhang Wu. We Zhang Wu will deal with these turtle bastards!

Let all the grenade launcher battalions replace their smoke bombs, and the Japanese planes may not dive. Even if they dive and our Zhang Wu shoots down a few of them, they have to behave themselves.

Let them release smoke bombs immediately to connect our positions with those of the Japanese. The Japanese are coming to bomb us, so let's bomb their own people as well!

Let them prepare the red smoke bombs. If the Japs use the marking trick again, I will shoot the red smoke bombs back at them!

When the smoke rises, the Japanese may take the opportunity to connect front and rear. Let the battalions at both ends and the gap increase their firepower. Don't let a single Japanese escape the ambush circle or connect back to other positions.

Finally, Shuisheng dispatched two mountain artillery battalions, divided them into five groups, and joined the artillery attack on the fracture and both ends!

No matter what tricks the devils want to take advantage of this opportunity to do, they will never succeed! "

"Yes!"

Several waves of messengers immediately went down to deliver the message.

While Li Yunlong was making adjustments, the Japanese also noticed the arrival of the plane.

"吆西!"

Finally, there was good news. The Japanese colonel in command was overjoyed. He directly ordered the signalman and messenger who were waiting nearby:
“Send a message to the three regiments, saying that the Imperial aircraft have arrived. Tell them to concentrate their firepower and connect the front and rear positions again while the Independent Regiment releases smoke to deal with the Imperial aircraft.

This is the division's last chance. They must show the spirit of Bushido, otherwise the entire division will be destroyed!

Then have their grenade launchers replace the blue smoke bombs, and when the smoke from the independent regiment comes together, fire at their positions to guide the bombing of the imperial aircraft!"

"Hai!"

The signalman immediately went down to send the message.

The colonel then said to the messenger:

“Have the guards also prepare blue smoke bombs, especially the observer who has been marking the position of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu.

Ask him to report the entire area where the sharpshooter Zhang Wu is located to the guard battalion, and ask them to dispatch grenade launchers to fire blue smoke bombs to guide the imperial aircraft.

Even if we cannot kill the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, we can delay his attack speed and buy time for our artillery.

Let the field artillery enter the position after the plane arrives, and while the sharpshooter Zhang Wu is being bombarded by the plane, together with the two mountain artillery battalions, carry out covering artillery bombardment on the position of the independent regiment, and cover the warriors of the regiment to connect head and tail! "

"Hai!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the order.

Tongtongtong

As the independent regiment continued to release smoke bombs, the Japanese special smoke bombs also hit the independent regiment's position.

"Damn it, changing color again?"

Looking at the blue smoke rising from the battlefield, Li Yunlong punched the ground in anger and cursed and ordered:
"Quick, have the soldiers throw down all the blue smoke bombs. As long as they are not on our positions, the Japanese won't be able to hit us unless they dive down!"

"Yes!"

The messenger went down again to deliver the message.

Zhao Gang seemed to have discovered something, and said anxiously:

"Old Li, and our Zhang Wu, the Japanese have already released blue smoke bombs in his direction..."

"Zhang Wu is fine!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yunlong, who vowed:
"Our Zhang Wu is much smarter than you. When choosing a shooting position, he deliberately chose a place nearby where we can avoid bombing.

I saw his position at that time. Even if the Japanese deployed an artillery regiment to coordinate with the bombing, that guy would be fine!"

Seeing what Zhao Gang was about to say, he immediately understood and added:

"Don't worry, this is the position our Zhang Wu chose at the beginning. Even if the shooting point is changed, he won't pick a random place!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang felt relieved.

When he felt relieved, Zhang Wu also discovered that the color of the Japanese smoke bomb was wrong!

"Damn it, in order to target me, you little devils have really burst out of your dog brains two taels of pig brains!"

He understood the Japanese's intention in an instant. After cursing angrily, he hid directly in the groove.

The Japs are targeting him so much, and he doesn't know if the ground artillery will join in. It's better to hide first!
Tactically, he always takes the Japanese seriously!

However, as long as he could dodge the first wave, he could quickly change his position. Otherwise, he would be bombed overhead at any time and he would not be able to quickly snipe the Japanese artillery regiment.

This is a conspiracy of the Japanese devils!

Just as he made up his mind, the Japanese planes, relying on their fast speed, arrived at Wupangou and immediately sent out three planes to bomb according to the guidance of the blue smoke.

But with Zhang Wu's intimidation, they dared not dive at all and could only drop bombs from high altitudes.

His protruding area attracted special attention from the Japanese. A large number of bombs fell next to him and on top of the mountains.

Boom boom boom boom
Bombs kept exploding around him. Although the mountain fragments and bomb fragments could not hit him because of the groove, the shock waves and sound waves still continued to impact his body.

buzzing
His ears kept buzzing, and Zhang Wu gritted his teeth and leaned against the grooved rock wall, resisting the impact.

Fortunately, he chose [Physical Fitness 4], and the increased recovery ability quickly offset the impact of these shocks. By the time the first wave of Japanese planes finished their bombing and flew away, his body had recovered!

Fortunately, I didn’t upgrade [Telescope 3] rigidly!

Watching the plane fly away, Zhang Wu took his gun and immediately moved away, secretly feeling lucky. If he hadn't chosen to upgrade [Physical Fitness 4], even if he had entered the groove in advance, he would have been bombed to death by the Japanese's targeting, not only would he have been uncomfortable, but he would also have had to waste time suppressing the artillery regiment!

"Damn it, don't think I can do nothing to you if you don't dive down on me. I will shoot you down sooner or later!"

After feeling thankful, he glanced at the plane in the sky, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes:
"Even if I can't do it now, I have to compensate you with ten or a hundred times the number of Japanese lives on the ground, otherwise I will really feel sorry for you targeting me!"
