The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Observation lock?!
Hearing the system's alarm, Zhang Wu's heart trembled. He immediately looked in the northeast direction and saw a lieutenant holding a telescope in the corner of the parapet with an excited expression on his face.

Damn it, this is the me you found, right?
After cursing in his heart, he immediately swung the gun over, aimed it at the lieutenant's head, and with the help of [Lock 3], shot him.

Snapped

As soon as the lieutenant shouted "Found it, the sharpshooter Zhang Wu is at the 7 o'clock direction, about 600 meters away from the city gate", he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu, ending his sinful life.

[Ding, kill a Japanese lieutenant and gain 40 experience points. (7262/16000)]

This is your fate!
Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu hummed with satisfaction, quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, climbed out of the crater, and said to the messenger waiting next to him:
"The Japanese artillery positions have not been rebuilt so quickly. Follow me and don't let the Japanese artillery fire hit us!"

"Yes!"

Although the messenger didn't understand how Zhang Wu observed the Japanese, he still strictly followed the order and unconditionally believed in Zhang Wu's instructions and ran counterclockwise.

While running, Zhang Wu did not relax his sniping of the Japanese anti-tank gunners.

If you want to bomb him, then quickly build an artillery position!

Finding an anti-tank gunner who had just been replaced, Zhang Wu swung his gun over while moving, aimed it at the anti-tank gunner's head, and fired another shot in the same way.

Snapped

Before the anti-tank gunner could adjust his gun to the 7 o'clock position, Zhang Wu shot him in the head and he went to meet their emperor ahead of time.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-tank gunner, gain 40 experience points. (7302/16000)]

In this way, when he ran counterclockwise with the messenger to another bomb crater 80 meters away, he had already shot and killed 6 anti-tank gunners and gained another 240 experience points.

This was a basic thing for him, but it made the messenger following him drop his jaw in shock.

He had never seen such a fast firing rate before, and the gun was fired while moving. Zhang Wu kept reloading and shooting as if he didn't need to aim.

Although he couldn't see whether Zhang Wu hit the target, given Zhang Wu's renowned accuracy, even if he believed that Zhang Wu was Qin Shi Huang, he would not believe that Zhang Wu was just shooting blindly!

While he was sighing at Zhang Wu's strength, the lieutenant on the wall became furious and roared at the messenger:

"Baga, are the anti-tank gunners eating shit? We have found the exact location of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, why haven't they opened fire for so long?
Hey Yaku, let them fire their cannons immediately. If the sharpshooter Zhang Wu finds out that he has escaped, they should all commit suicide to apologize!"

"Hai!"

The messenger agreed and went straight down to deliver the message.

But after he learned the details and came back to report to the major, the major then realized that it was not that their anti-tank gunners did not want to shoot, but that they were beaten so badly by Zhang Wu that they simply could not do it!

In just a few minutes, nearly one-third of their anti-tank gunners were killed!

"Baga, Master Gun Zhang Wu is so cunning that he actually attacked the Empire's anti-tank gun warriors in advance. His conscience is really bad!"

After yelling in anger, the Major was forced to make adjustments:

"Let the warriors with the anti-tank guns switch to armor-piercing tracer bullets and hide. They shouldn't all die in this unequal battle.

The independent regiment has armored vehicles. Wait until the independent regiment’s armored vehicles appear, and then let them attack these armored units!

Ask the observers to compare the bullet holes on the anti-tank gunner's body with officers above the rank of sergeant, and continue to search for the location of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu.

Since he was able to attack the anti-tank gun in advance, it is very likely that he had changed his position.

Let the artillerymen under the city speed up the construction of positions and find the location of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu again. They must fire at the first opportunity!

Even if we can't kill him, we have to force him to change position again and slow down his sniping speed!"

"Hai!"

Three waves of messengers immediately went down to deliver the order.

As they began to make adjustments, Zhang Wu also entered the new crater.

Seeing that the Japanese artillery position had not been completed and the anti-tank gunner had hidden, he asked the messenger to wait for a while and continued to intensify the attack on the Japanese's other heavy firepower and commanders.

Finding a captain who was secretly observing, he immediately swung his gun over, pointed it at the captain's head, and when the traction of [Lock 3] was finished, he pulled the trigger directly.

Snapped

The 7.62mm rifle bullet pierced the captain's head in an instant, and his body fell to the ground on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese captain and gain 60 experience points. (7602/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at a heavy machine gunner next to him. The bullet was loaded and the traction of [Lock 3] was just completed, so he pulled the trigger directly.

With a set of skills and movements connected smoothly, Zhang Wu has compressed the time interval between sniping to the shortest possible time.

Snapped

As the 7.62mm rifle bullet was fired, the heavy machine gunner was shot in the head by Zhang Wu in an instant, following the captain's fate.

[Ding, kill a Japanese heavy machine gunner, gain experience 18. (7620/16000)]

Next, he continued to use his skills to the fullest, madly sniping at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall and in the city.

In less than 5 minutes, when the Japanese artillery was rebuilt and started shelling, he had killed 3 lieutenants, 5 second lieutenants, 30 heavy machine gunners, and 40 machine gunners, and gained a total of 1160 experience points.

That’s because he was often robbed, otherwise he would have killed more people.

However, when he saw that the Japanese artillery position was completed, he immediately scanned it and told the messenger everything:
"Go tell the regiment commander that the Japanese grenade launchers should be due northeast, 70 to 80 meters below the city wall; the infantry artillery positions should be due north, 200 meters, 250 meters, and 300 meters apart; as for the mountain artillery squadron, it should be about 400 meters south northwest!"

"Yes, deputy commander!"

The messenger agreed and went to find Li Yunlong immediately.

After receiving the report from the messenger, Li Yunlong, who was still carefully observing the trajectory of the Japanese artillery fire, slapped his thigh excitedly and laughed:
"I knew Zhang Wu was fast, but damn, I didn't expect him to be so fast! Before I could figure out 123, haha, he had already done everything for you!"

After praising Zhang Wu, he immediately gave the order:

"Go, have the field artillery and mountain artillery battalion conduct covering bombardment based on the position provided by Zhang Wu.

The bombardment begins, and each unit launches the attack according to the established plan. The 10-minute goal-breaking tactic has begun! "

"Yes!"

Several waves of messengers immediately went down to pass on the message. Looking at the messengers' backs, Zhao Gang said with a relaxed smile:

"Yes, with Zhang Wu figuring out the Japanese artillery situation so quickly, I think our infantry-tank coordination will definitely be successful, and we can break into the city in less than an hour!"

As he said this, he glanced at Li Yunlong and suggested:
"Zhang Wu first beheaded the Japanese divisional headquarters, and then helped us take over the airport while keeping our planes safe. He also gave us the opportunity to break into the city so quickly. Lao Li, we have to reward Zhang Wu well!"

"That's for sure. I'm never stingy with my soldiers!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand with a heroic gesture and said directly:

"Once we capture Linfen, I will ask the brigade commander for a commendation from the general..."

At this point he felt it was not enough. Zhang Wu had made three great achievements in a row, but he only applied for one commendation. It was too unfair!

Need more money!
Thinking about this, he started brainstorming, and soon his eyes lit up as if he remembered something:
"I heard that our boss has a good gun, but it's just a decoration for him. It's better to give it to Zhang Wu! What's that called... Yes, make the best use of it!"

"I think it works!"

Zhao Gang didn't feel that Li Yunlong's idea of ​​attacking the boss was greedy. Instead, he said with an expression of approval:

"Based on Zhang Wu's merits and his ability to figure out airplanes, he is definitely worthy of the boss's gun!"

When they were discussing the reward for Zhang Wu, as the order was issued, the field artillery and mountain artillery began to cover the bombardment, and the entire independent regiment was put into action.

The soldiers on the front raised their guns with fixed bayonets and intensified their shooting; the grenadiers stepped forward and waited to throw grenades after the door was broken; the bugler also took out the bugle and prepared to blow the charge; the other artillery battalions immediately increased the frequency of shelling the city walls and the city walls; the two tank companies covered the 1st and 2nd Battalions, submachine guns, special forces, anti-tank gun battalions, and demolitionists, and began to advance towards the city in a coordinated manner from the north and south directions.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

The fierce artillery fire from the independent regiment made the Japanese unable to raise their heads for a while.

"Baga, the independent regiment is about to start attacking the city!"

After receiving the news that tanks appeared outside the city, the major commanding on the city wall changed his expression and immediately gave the order:

"Let the warriors with anti-tank guns show their Bushido spirit and attack the independent regiment's armored vehicles. Otherwise, let them cover the demolition men and blow up the city gates, and everyone will die!
Call Wengcheng and ask them to send out all the machine gunners to fire at the infantry behind the armored vehicles through the machine gun holes. Make sure to cut off their line of troops!
Call the division headquarters, the independent regiment has already sent out armored vehicles, requesting the division's heavy artillery to bombard the area 200 meters outside the city and provide combat guidance!
Hey Ya Ku, Hey Ya Ku, otherwise the West Gate will be broken through! "

"Hai!"

Several waves of messengers immediately went down to deliver messages, some making phone calls and some sending telegrams.

After receiving the telegram for help, several majors in the division headquarters did not hesitate and immediately mobilized the artillery regiment to launch a salvo bombardment outside the west gate as required.

With limited artillery shells and having to take care of four directions, the Japanese had no choice but to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall and try their best to stabilize the four defensive positions.

That’s not all. In order to prevent any accidents, they sent out another group of machine gunners and observers, who were distributed at the commanding heights and strategic locations in the city.

Once the city is breached, these will be important firepower points to delay the Eighth Route Army's advance. Together with the blocking positions constructed by armored vehicles, tanks, and infantry that have been dispatched to various nodes, they will form a high and low firepower configuration to delay time as much as possible!

There were also 9 snipers from the entire division (one of whom was killed in advance by Zhang Wu), who were scattered in the city and carried out precision strikes on the commanders and heavy firepower points of the Eighth Route Army.

But it takes 10 minutes for their artillery to adjust, so Ximen can only rely on anti-tank gunners and the machine gun holes in the city wall to drag out these 10 minutes.

But with Zhang Wu around, how could they possibly succeed?
He had received Li Yunlong's order long ago. When he saw the independent regiment's infantry and tanks working together, he immediately swung his gun over and started sniping at the reappearing anti-tank gunners and the machine gun holes in the city.

Zhang Wu quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at an anti-tank gunner who was adjusting the shooting angle, and with the help of [Lock 3], he fired a shot.

Snapped

The anti-tank gunner was shot in the head by Zhang Wu before he could aim at the independent regiment's tank.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-tank gunner, gain 40 experience points. (8820/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu continued to quickly pull the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at an anti-tank gunner next to him, and repeated the same method, firing another shot.

Snapped

The anti-tank gunner was shot through the head in an instant and died on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-tank gunner, gain 40 experience points. (8860/16000)]

Just like that, under his crazy suppression, the Japanese anti-tank gunners kept falling one after another and were unable to aim.

The same goes for the machine guns in the city wall!

Even if he had to attack anti-tank gunners, the replacement speed of the machine gunners in the city still could not keep up with his sniping speed.

By the time the two armored companies of the independent regiment covered the troops and safely rushed to the foot of the city, Zhang Wu had already shot and killed 2 anti-tank gunners, 10 machine gunners, and gained 20 experience points.

While he was quickly sniping the Japanese, the independent infantry regiment that arrived at the city gate used demolition experts to blew up the city wall. The special forces team led the way, followed by the submachine gun company, and they broke into the city wall.

With the strong firepower of the special forces and the submachine gun company from inside, and Zhang Wu's rapid sniping from outside, under this double attack from both inside and outside, the Japanese in the city had no chance to resist and were quickly wiped out.

When the 2st Battalion rushed in and began to attack the Japanese on the city wall from the inner city, the nd Battalion and the submachine gun company of the special forces team below covered the demolition workers and placed explosives under the city gate.

boom

There was a loud bang, and a big hole was blown in the entire city gate.

Da da da, boom boom
Just as Wei Dayong was about to lead his team members into the big hole, he heard the sounds of machine guns and cannons.

"Our leader is really good at predicting things!"

Not knowing whether it was Zhang Wu's achievement or not, Wei Dayong thought it was Li Yunlong's guess. After praising Li Yunlong, he made a stop gesture and said to a special agent:
"Go and get the brothers from the anti-tank gun battalion over here. The Japs have an iron turtle at the gate. If we don't blow it up, we won't be able to defend the city gate!"

"Yes!"

The team members behind immediately notified the anti-tank gun battalion that was following up.

With 12 anti-tank guns carrying out a covering saturation attack, the Japanese iron turtles were turned into scrap metal by armor-piercing tracer bullets before they could even finish two rounds of strafing and bombing.

As Wei Dayong led the special forces team to rush in, followed by the submachine gun company and the 2nd Battalion, they completely defended the city gate.

Not only that, relying on their fierce firepower, they even began to use the wreckage of tanks as cover and occupied a small position inside the city gate.

Since then, the Independent Regiment was the first to capture Linfen!
