The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"Zhang Wu is really awesome!"

Having received the intelligence sent by the special agents, Li Yunlong glanced at the direction of the Japanese blocking position where the black drums were rumbling:
"If he hadn't figured out the details of the Japs in advance, and they had launched a surprise attack with rapid-fire cannons, infantry guns, and anti-tank guns, I would have suffered a huge loss!"

Believing that Zhang Wu had already eliminated the rapid-fire artillery squadron, and could also suppress the Japanese's infantry artillery and anti-tank guns, Li Yunlong commanded the tanks to move forward. The submachine gun company and Zhang Dabiao redeployed a commando team composed of light machine gunners to follow up. Light and heavy machine guns, 4 rapid-fire guns, 2 infantry guns, and 36 grenade launchers were deployed according to the positions described by Zhang Wu.

After everything was ready, he raised his revolver, aimed at the Japanese and fired a shot:
"beat!"

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

As Li Yunlong's order was given, the covering light and heavy machine guns, the rapid-fire guns, infantry guns, and grenade launchers in the rear, as well as the cannons and heavy machine guns on the tanks, all opened fire together, taking away hundreds of Japanese lives in an instant.

As the coordinated advance of infantry and tanks began, except for various artillery pieces, the light and heavy machine guns providing fixed cover in the rear ceased firing.

The tank needs enough space to move flexibly to avoid the Japanese artillery fire, and if the light and heavy machine guns behind open fire, it will easily hurt its own people.

With the heavy machine guns on the tanks and the light machine gunners assigned by Zhang Dabiao, as long as they advance to 200 meters, and the submachine gun company joins in, and with Zhang Wu to support them, the Japanese won't be able to cause any trouble!
Although he kept comforting himself, Li Yunlong's heart still clenched. His fingertips turned white from the effort of using the telescope to observe the battlefield.
"Zhang Wu, our independent regiment only has a few strong men like you. I'd be heartbroken if we lost one. You must not slow down at all. You must suppress the Japanese infantry artillery and anti-tank guns for me!

Otherwise, I will suffer a great loss!"

With [Telescope 4] having a wide field of view of 2000 meters and having been paying attention to them all the time, how could Zhang Wu possibly let him down?

Seeing the flash of fire from the muzzle of his gun, Zhang Wu aimed at the red dot of an anti-tank gunner who had been aiming at him for a long time, and with the help of [Lock 3], he fired a shot.

Snapped

Before the anti-tank gunner could understand what was happening, Zhang Wu shot him in the head, sending him to death.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-tank gunner, gain 40 experience points. (2585/16000)]

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

Snapped

This anti-tank gunner could not escape the fate of being sniped by Zhang Wu and died in an instant.

[Ding, kill a Japanese anti-tank gunner, gain 40 experience points. (2625/16000)]

"Enemy attack!"

When he was sniping quickly, the Japanese also reacted and fought back with their weapons.

The captain in command even asked the flag signal soldiers to send signals to the rapid-fire artillery squadron hidden in the rear, hoping that even if they could not stop the independent regiment, they would at least destroy a few more of its tanks.

But what surprised him was that after 2 minutes, the tanks of the independent regiment were almost advancing to their position, but their rapid-fire guns did not fire a single shot!
"Baga, are all those bastards in the rapid-fire artillery squadron eating shit?"

The captain in command was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire. He cursed:
"Send them another signal. If they still don't fire, I will report the situation to the headquarters and have them all commit seppuku in front of the Emperor's portrait!"

"Hai!"

The flag signalman responded and sent out another flag signal in the direction of the rapid-fire artillery squadron.

But this time, there was no response at all.

The captain then realized that there might be a problem with their rapid-fire artillery squadron, but now was not the time to think about it. As the independent regiment's infantry and tanks coordinated to the 200-meter range, the submachine gun company behind also began to attack, and their positions were hit so hard that they could not fight back at all!

"Baga, the firepower of the independent regiment is too strong!"

The captain complained helplessly and wanted to order his men to retreat and disperse, to defend in dangerous places, and to delay the independent regiment's advance as much as possible.

But as soon as he came out of the shelter, he was discovered by Zhang Wu!
In the past 2 minutes, only 30 anti-tank gunners were killed and 20 infantry gunners gained 1700 experience points. How could Zhang Wu let go of this captain with the highest experience?

"Damn it, you still dare to show your head?"

With a ruthless look in his eyes, Zhang Wu immediately swung his gun over, aimed it at the captain's red dot, and when the traction of [Lock 3] ended, he pulled the trigger directly.

Snapped

The captain had just taken two steps when he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu, and his body fell to the ground dead on the spot.

[Ding, kill a Japanese captain and gain 60 experience points. (4385/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu hummed with satisfaction and continued to quickly pull the bolt to load the bullet, attacking the Japanese anti-tank gunners and rapid-fire gunners.

Seeing these first lieutenant and second lieutenant, he would not let them go.

In this way, within the one minute when the independent regiment's infantry and tanks jointly advanced the Japanese defensive positions, he killed 1 anti-tank gunners, 15 lieutenants, 2 infantry gunners, and 5 second lieutenant, and gained a total of 1 experience points.

almost!

Seeing that the independent regiment had begun to disperse and clean up the remaining Japanese devils and there were no valuable targets, Zhang Wu took his gun and left the small building to join the special forces team waiting downstairs. He first pushed the four rapid-fire cannons to the route of the main force, and then continued to clean up in the direction of the north gate.

While they continued to clean up, the main force completely occupied the Japanese blocking position.

After occupying the Japanese blocking position, Li Yunlong left a battalion to clean up the battlefield and hold the position, and then led the large force to continue advancing after replenishing heavy weapons and ammunition.

"Damn it, Zhang Wu is still faster and has better tactics!"

On the way, Li Yunlong raised his lips in satisfaction and said to Zhang Dabiao beside him with full confidence:
"Originally I thought it would take two hours, but now, we can advance to the north gate in one hour at most!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao smiled and echoed:
"With Zhang Wu and the special forces clearing out the Japanese cold gun points and firepower points along the way in advance, and helping us fire rapid-fire cannons to suppress the Japanese infantry guns and anti-tank guns, our journey can be said to be unimpeded!"

"Almost. It takes 10 minutes to take down a small Japanese battalion's blocking position, which is no different from having no obstruction!"

Li Yunlong said with a look of agreement, and he felt that he had to increase the reward for Zhang Wu:

"Give Zhang Wu another great achievement. When we get back, in addition to the general's gun, I will also get our brigade commander's gun for Zhang Wu!"

After deciding to increase Zhang Wu's reward, seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, he decided to announce Zhang Wu's reward in public after meeting up with him at the north gate in order to boost the soldiers' morale.

At the same time, Zhang Wu was also leading the special forces team to quickly clear out the Japanese devils along the way.

I don’t know if the Japanese troops no longer have that many or they are more confident in the direction of the north gate. As he went further north, except for those scattered cold gun points, Zhang Wu did not find any large-scale Japanese ambush positions along the way.

In this way, they soon arrived 3 kilometers away from the north gate.

At this time, there was still fierce fighting at the north gate.

Although the city gate was blown open by the 772nd Regiment, they could not break in for a while because of the 4 tanks blocking the gate, the 2 battalions of Japanese soldiers blocking the city, and the fire support from various artillery positions. After sneaking 2 kilometers to the city gate, Zhang Wu found out all the defenses of the Japanese soldiers, and then returned to the resting point of the special forces team, waiting for the arrival of Li Yunlong's large force.

He didn't have to wait long, as Li Yunlong brought the remaining large force, as well as additional grenade launchers, rapid-fire guns, and infantry guns, to meet up with Zhang Wu.

Seeing Zhang Wu coming, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. He ordered the troops to stop and sent out guards. Then he walked over quickly, patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and exclaimed:
"You are really great, not only did you greatly reduce the time it takes for our regiment to advance to the north gate, but you also reduced our casualties. No doubt, I will fight for the biggest reward for you when we get back!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers around him and said proudly:
"In addition to the commendations from the leaders at all levels, I will also fight for you to get the general manager's gun and the brigade commander's gun!"

Commendations from leaders at all levels, and the leaders’ service guns!
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers looked at Zhang Wu enviously. They also wanted this kind of reward.

In addition to the commendation, there are also the boss’s gun and the brigade commander’s gun!

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up too. This honor was absolutely unique to him in the Eighth Route Army!

Even if it were placed in later generations, it would at least be a special merit, right?

Thinking of this, he stood at attention and said to Li Yunlong:

"Thank you, Commander. I will definitely keep up the good work and kill more devils in the future. Even if I can't reach their homeland, I will find a chance to bomb them!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded to Zhang Wu, then put his arm around his shoulders and said to the soldiers around him:

"Look at you all who are envious, why, do you want it too?
If you want, you can. Our group has always been capable of eating meat!

In the coming battles, you all must show me the spirit of our Eighth Route Army that cannot be defeated or dragged down, and our Independent Regiment that travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and give the Japanese devils a good beating!

When the battle is over, I will reward you according to your merits. You performed well. Not only will I get a reward and a good gun, I will also give you a promotion!"

Commendations, good guns, and promotions?!
"Yes!"

Hearing this, the soldiers perked up. Although they lowered their voices, their expressions did not show the exhausted look from before.
As expected, he is Li Yunlong!
Zhang Wu couldn't help but give Li Yunlong a thumbs up. Li Yunlong always finds every opportunity to encourage the soldiers. Only such a team can burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.

Zhang Wu cannot deny his role, but he is only one person after all. The increasingly large-scale battles still have to rely on the spirit of the large army to draw swords when facing the enemy!

Otherwise, even if he was made of iron, how many nails could he twist?
He was thinking about this when Li Yunlong nodded to the soldiers with satisfaction and asked:

"Zhang Wu, have you figured out the situation at the North Gate?"

“I figured it out!”

Coming back to his senses, Zhang Wu nodded and asked Zhang Dabiao to spread out the map and tell him the details of the Japanese firepower points he had marked:

"The Japanese mountain artillery squadron is here, with two squads of guards; the infantry artillery position is here..."

After explaining the Japanese's deployment, Zhang Wu described the current situation at the North Gate:
"The 772nd Regiment has now blown up the city gate, but the Japanese are very tenacious. They rely on these points and the four Iron Turtle tanks at the city gate to block the 4nd Regiment outside the city gate!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded, showing a gratified expression and said:

"To be able to fight to this level, Blind Cheng is quite capable. It's worth it that I taught him how to shoot!"

As he said this, he hurriedly called the company-level cadres and above over, and began to deploy troops in a targeted manner according to the situation of the Japanese that Zhang Wu had found out, and then said to Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, you lead the special forces to clean up the last 3 kilometers first, and then find a shooting point for yourself. The focus is on the Iron Turtle at the city gate and the mountain artillery squadron. Follow my signal and attack together.

This time we are here to help Blind Cheng into the city, so we don’t need to rush too close to avoid being bombed by our own artillery, but these heavy firepower must be suppressed! "

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu nodded:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After the specific tasks were assigned, the independent regiment started moving. Zhang Wuxian led the special forces team to clear out the Japanese's cold shooting points in the last 3 kilometers.

With his broad vision, these Japanese devils were no problem at all. He then asked the special forces and other large forces of the independent regiment to carry out Li Yunlong's new mission. He then found a three-story building that could cover the Japanese devils' tanks and mountain artillery squadrons, and even the city walls, as his sniper point.

Going up to the third floor and opening the window, Zhang Wu found the shooting angle of the four tanks. He aimed at a marked tank squad leader, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and was ready to shoot at any time, waiting for Li Yunlong's attack signal.

Not long after he was ready, the main force arrived at the designated attack position. After receiving these reports, Li Yunlong took out a red signal gun and fired a shot at the sky in order to warn Cheng Xiazi outside the city:
"beat!"

吱

A red flare was launched into the air near the North Gate, making a shrill sound in the air, sounding the death knell for the Japanese invaders at the North Gate.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

After receiving Li Yunlong's signal, the soldiers of the independent regiment who had been prepared all opened fire. All of a sudden, all kinds of bullets and artillery shells formed a rain of bullets in the air, attacking the Japanese from behind, taking away hundreds of their lives in an instant!

Zhang Wu was faster. When he saw the flash of fire at the muzzle of Li Yunlong's gun, he pulled the trigger immediately.

Snapped

The tank squad leader was adjusting the angle of the turret of the Type 95 light tank, but before he could finish adjusting the angle, he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a Japanese tank and a Japanese soldier, gain 90 experience points. (5300/16000)]

The tank soldiers are still fat!
Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu sighed in his heart, quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at the commander of another Type 95 tank, and fired another shot in the same way.

Snapped

The tank commander had just finished loading the shells, and before he could fire, he was nailed to death in the tank by Zhang Wu, following the fate of the squad leader.

[Ding, kill a Japanese tank commander and gain 70 experience points. (5370/16000)]

Next, Zhang Wu used his marksmanship to the fullest. After defeating the Japanese tank soldiers, he quickly sniped the mountain artillery squadron and even the anti-tank gunners on the city wall.

In just 5 minutes, he killed 4 tankers, 4 tank shooters, 2 tank commanders, 80 mountain gunners, and 30 anti-tank gunners, gaining a total of 4640 experience points.

This was even though he was often robbed, otherwise he would have killed even more Japanese devils.

Under his attack, the Japanese soldiers, who were already caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Independent Regiment, became even more sluggish in their heavy firepower, allowing the 772nd Regiment outside the city to seize the opportunity and rush into the north gate in a wave of attacks.

After another 5 minutes of cleaning, the 772nd Regiment completely occupied the north gate.

Zhang Wu also gained another 1860 experience points.
