The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"The four mountain artillery battalions were also divided into four groups. They were also deployed outside the Japanese defense circle to bomb the blockhouses at the four corners of the airport. There was no need to save shells. They were just going to blow them up.

Let’s not worry about the future defense for now, we must take the airport as quickly as possible and attack Linfen.

These towers are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Zhang Wu has other tasks to do, so it's impossible for him to take care of them all!"

Then, Li Yunlong emphasized:

"But there is one thing. Everyone, aim carefully. Don't blow up the anti-aircraft machine guns next to the blockhouse. They are there to prevent the Japanese planes from attacking the airport. We can't let our planes be destroyed by the Japanese before they even get warm.

This concerns the future air force of our Eighth Route Army!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, the battalion and company commanders around laughed. Before the battle even started, Li Yunlong had already regarded those planes as his own!
Li Yunlong waved his hand to stop the laughter and added:
"When your artillery battalion sees my second signal flare, it means the infantry has broken through the Japanese defense circle and can attack the targets in the airport. Stop the shelling at that time. Our artillery cannot hurt our own people!"

All the artillery battalion commanders stood at attention and said:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong then looked at the battalion and company commanders of the infantry battalion and the grenade launcher battalion:

"The 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions will attack the east gate. The other 7 battalions will be divided into 3 parts. After seeing my signal flare, they will attack from the south, west and north at the same time.

The grenade launcher is also divided into four parts to provide fire support to each battalion.

Our manpower and firepower are more than twice that of the Japanese. There is no need to fight a night battle with them. We should fire flares as soon as possible when launching an attack and make sure to break through the checkpoints as quickly as possible, clear the patrols and reach the airport.

After seeing the second signal flare, use demolition hands to blow up the wall and capture the gate, blockhouse, mountain artillery squadron and other places where the Japanese heavy firepower is concentrated. The airport must be captured within 2 hours! "

"Yes!"

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

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and finally looked at Zhang Wu, pointing to a row of dormitories marked in the southeast direction on the map and said:
"Zhang Wu, go find Zhang Dabiao and ask him to refill your 500 rounds of ammunition, but you don't have to participate in the outer attacks.

This is where the Japanese pilots rest and the airport command center is located. Your mission is to keep a close eye on this place and not let the Japanese pilots force the planes away when they discover that the airport cannot be defended.

Before the Japanese pilots and commanders show up, you can attack the nearby mountain artillery squadrons, blockhouses, anti-aircraft machine gun positions, etc. This will also reduce the pressure on the large forces to capture the airport! "

Zhang Wu smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, Commander. I will complete the mission. I will never let the Japanese take away our plane!"

"Well, I trust you the most!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, glanced at all the battalion and company commanders present, and said:

"Okay, go down and get ready. We'll set off after dark."

"Yes!"

All battalion and company commanders stood at attention and saluted, then went down to prepare.

Zhang Wu also followed them and found Zhang Dabiao to replenish 500 rounds of bullets. Then he continued to rest, waiting for the time to set off in the evening while thinking about his own tactics.

Although he is following the main force this time, he wants to infiltrate the Japanese lair in advance.

Before the large force breaks through the Japanese's outer defense circle, he'd better go directly into the [Camouflage] dynamic mode. In addition to the first two unexpected shots, he must also strictly implement the sparrow tactics and move to another position after each shot.

Otherwise, even if the Japanese couldn't find him, they would be able to determine his approximate location through the bullet holes on his body and bomb him with artillery!
The official attack time is 12 o'clock. When the [Camouflage] is refreshed, he will have a full hour to attack, which is enough to delay until the main force of the independent regiment arrives!

Tactically, he must take the Japs seriously!
While he was thinking about his tactics, Li Yunlong was not idle either. He called Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan to supplement their attack formation, the position of the artillery, and situations they had not considered. Only after everything was arranged did he begin to rest.

In this way, time passed and it soon became dark.

After dinner, the independent regiment split into two groups. Zhao Gang and his men went to the west gate of Linfen, while Zhang Wu activated all his skills, filled the magazine of the Mosin-Nagant, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and after making preparations to deal with emergencies on the road, he followed Li Yunlong to the airport.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the airport, they followed the pre-assigned tasks. Each battalion led their soldiers to find their own attack direction, arrange attack formations, build firepower points, etc. according to the attack targets.

Zhang Wu was about to leave when Li Yunlong stopped him.

Looking at Zhang Wu, Li Yunlong finally gave his instructions:

"Zhang Wu, this time you are launching an attack inside the Japs' lair. If it doesn't work, attack slowly. Once our main force has attracted the Japs' attention, it won't be too late for you to launch a quick attack!

The Japs didn't realize that they couldn't hold it that quickly, so don't take any risks!"

Feeling Li Yunlong's deep concern, Zhang Wu felt warm in his heart. He patted his chest and said deliberately:
"Don't worry, Commander. This isn't the first time I've launched an attack in the Japs' lair. When it comes to night battles, we are the Japs' ancestors. It's ok for the Japs to disrespect our ancestors!"

"Good job, you have a lot of momentum!"

Patting Zhang Wu on the shoulder, Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"Go ahead and be careful!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Wu stood at attention and saluted, he carried the Mosin-Nagant on his back and headed straight to the southeast towards his target under the cover of night.

When he arrived at the outskirts of the searchlight 100 meters away from the southeast Japanese checkpoint, Zhang Wu did not act immediately. Instead, he used [Telescope 4] and [Night Vision] to scan the checkpoint and the patrol team inside.

After calculating the patrol team's time, he entered the [Camouflage 3] dynamic mode, passed through the gap in the checkpoint and entered the defense circle, then continued to avoid the patrol team and rushed to the airport.

With the guarantee of [Physical Fitness 4], he was very careful along the way and finally arrived at the airport safely before the first [Disguise 3] dynamic mode ended.

Without wasting time, relying on the extremely large attack range of 1900 meters, he found a place 300 meters away from the airport wall that could cover dormitories, command posts, the southeast blockhouse, the mountain artillery squadron positions, the anti-aircraft machine gun positions, the gate, and even the anti-aircraft machine gun positions on the other side of the gate, as well as a commanding point on a small hill that was convenient for detours, as his sniper point.

Before the Japanese commander and pilot come out, the mountain artillery squadron and two anti-aircraft machine gun positions will be his main targets of attack.

However, he did not enter the selected sniper point immediately, but hid in a low, inconspicuous groove.

The Japanese also knew that this was the commanding height and that patrols came here three times more frequently than in other places. Once the attack from the outside began and the patrols were attracted away, it would not be too late for him to enter the sniper point and attack.

Li Yunlong's reminder was not groundless, so he'd better listen to the advice.

With nothing to do in the groove, he scanned and marked the attack targets to shorten the time of searching for the Japanese.

Looking at the red dots marked as pilots in the dormitory, the colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors in the command center, as well as the mountain gunners on the mountain artillery positions and the anti-aircraft machine gunners marked on the anti-aircraft machine gun positions, he couldn't help swallowing:
They are all great experiences!

Especially the anti-aircraft machine gunner, he hasn't fought him yet, so he doesn't know how fat he is!

At the same time, outside the airport defense circle, messengers kept reporting to Li Yunlong on the deployment of positions in various directions. When all directions were in attack position, he took out the signal gun, prepared to fire, and waited for 12 o'clock in the evening. Almost there!

Time passed, and when Li Yunlong saw that the pocket watch Zhang Wu had given him had reached 12, he raised his signal gun, pointed it at the sky and fired a shot:
"beat!"

吱

The red flare rose into the air with a shrill sound, officially sounding the death knell for the Japanese.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

Seeing the signal flare, the soldiers attacking the airport aimed at the target they had already aimed at and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, all kinds of bullets and artillery shells formed an overwhelming rain of bullets in the air, and the flares fired illuminated the entire battlefield as bright as day. Before the Japanese guards could understand what was happening, hundreds of their lives were taken away in an instant.

While the attack was underway outside the airport, Zhao Gang outside the west gate of Linfen also fired flares, commanding more than 1 people to begin attacking the city.

The Japanese were well-trained and reacted quickly after the first wave of attacks.

"Enemy attack!"

While shouting warnings, they took up arms and fought back under the leadership of their respective commanders.

The Japanese soldiers in the airport also quickly took up their respective attack positions. Under the commander's orders, the Japanese soldiers in the dormitory quickly got ready and were ready to provide support at any time.

When the supreme commander, the colonel, learned that their blockhouse and mountain artillery squadron were all under heavy artillery bombardment, he immediately ordered the guards to leave the blockhouse, the mountain artillery squadron to relocate, and called the outer checkpoints to inquire about the scale of the attack.

The patrol team outside the airport followed the sound of gunfire and quickly reinforced the outer defense circle nearby. All the patrol teams in Zhang Wu's direction quickly ran out of his 200-meter range.

good chance!
Seeing that it was impossible for these patrols to distinguish his gunshots amid the noisy gunfire and cut off his retreat, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he turned over and left the groove, quickly entering the sniper point.

Seeing that the Japanese commander and pilot had not shown up yet, he pointed his gun at an anti-aircraft machine gunner in the southeast anti-aircraft machine gun position, directly entered the [Camouflage 3] dynamic mode, and with the help of [Lock 3], fired a shot.

Snapped

The anti-aircraft machine gunner had just entered the position and had not yet leveled the anti-aircraft machine gun when Zhang Wu shot him in the head, sending him to meet their emperor ahead of time.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-aircraft machine gunner, gain experience 45. (11972/16000)]

Fat enough!

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. The experience of an anti-aircraft machine gunner was actually the same as that of an armored vehicle operator.

Then we will kill even more people!
While thinking about this, his hands moved differently. After quickly pulling the bolt to load the bullet, he aimed at the head of an anti-aircraft machine gunner next to him and fired another shot.

Snapped

The anti-aircraft machine gunner had just realized that they were attacked, and before he could dodge, he was shot through the head by Zhang Wu, following the fate of the main shooter.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-aircraft machine gunner, gain experience 45. (12017/16000)]

With a satisfied smile on his face, Zhang Wu quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet and moved quickly.

"Baga, there are still attackers near the airport!"

The airport was less affected by the gunfire outside and was on high alert. The second lieutenant of the anti-aircraft machine gun squad immediately judged this. While he ordered his men to hide first, he said to a messenger:

"Call the Colonel. Our anti-aircraft machine gun team has detected an attack at 5 o'clock. It is suspected to be a sniper. Please ask him to send troops to search..."

Before he could finish his words, a Japanese shooter who had just left the anti-aircraft machine gun was suddenly shot through the head and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

Snapped

The gunshots were heard at this time.

"Baga, it must be a sniper!"

The lieutenant was so angry that he cursed loudly, and then quickly said to the messenger:
"He has already reached the 5: direction. We should use the Eighth Route Army's sparrow tactics. I would like to ask the colonel for combat guidance. Hi Ya Ku, Hi Ya Ku!"

"Hai!"

The messenger immediately made a phone call.

"Baga, the sniper is dead!"

After receiving the call, the colonel in command cursed loudly, and immediately ordered the machine guns at the gate to suppress the 5:2 direction. He sent all observers to find Zhang Wu's specific location, and at the same time sent two teams of infantry to advance in the 5: direction, in an attempt to reduce Zhang Wu's space for detour.

Da da da

As his order was given, the machine guns opened fire before the infantry left the gate, and the fire extended to the left and right.

But Zhang Wu had already left, and they even sprayed Zhang Wu's farts until they were hot!
"Wow, you react pretty quickly!"

Looking at the machine gun fire coming from his original direction, Zhang Wu curled up his lips in mockery. After detouring 50 meters, he stretched out his gun from the reverse slope and found a shooting angle of the anti-aircraft machine gunner. After the traction of [Lock 3] was finished, he pulled the trigger again.

Snapped

The anti-aircraft machine gunner thought he was hiding well and had a smug expression on his face, but he was shot through the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-aircraft machine gunner, gain experience 45. (12107/16000)]

In this way, Zhang Wu brought his skills to the extreme, relying on the advantage of his high field of vision. Although strictly implementing the sparrow tactics took a lot of time, his shooting rate was really too fast.

In less than 5 minutes, all the remaining 49 anti-aircraft machine gunners of the entire anti-aircraft machine gun squad, including the second lieutenant, were shot dead by Zhang Wu, allowing him to gain another 2225 experience points.

"Baga, haven't you found the sniper yet?"

After receiving the news that the anti-aircraft machine gun squad was completely wiped out, the commanding colonel was shocked and angry.

What was shocking was that this sniper was so powerful that he was able to wipe out their entire anti-aircraft machine gun team during their search and suppression.

What makes me angry is that their observers are all idiots. They couldn’t even find the sniper who fired more than 50 shots at night!

Just as he was shocked and angry, a lieutenant colonel next to him couldn't help but say:
"Colonel, could this sniper be the sharpshooter Zhang Wu?"
