The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"Baga, Zhang Wu, he's dead!"

The original intention was to boost morale, but because of Zhang Wu, morale was hit even harder. The Japanese soldiers all over the country felt like their parents had died and had lost all their fighting spirit. The commander of the Japanese First Army, Lieutenant General Ling Zuo, was so angry that he started cursing.

Not satisfied yet, he drew out his general's sword and smashed the newly replaced vase with one blow, then continued to chop and hack around the office.

He didn't feel tired until he had destroyed the office and was out of breath. Then he slumped in his chair, feeling a little better.

Ask the servants to clean the office and replace the vase table with a new one so that it will be convenient for chopping next time.

After some planning, he and his chief of staff raised the banner of revenge for Prince Kuromatsu and ordered the Ohga Division to first meet up with the 41st Division on the Tongpu Line, and then move south to launch an attack on Linfen together!

The entire railway was so long and their intelligence was frequently leaked, so Lieutenant General Suzusa had no plans to divide his troops. Even if they were attacked, the two divisions would be able to deal with it calmly together, thus avoiding the situation where the troops were dispersed and defeated one by one as before.

However, before the ground attack, Zhang Wu must be killed!
With Zhang Wu providing air support to the Eighth Route Army, they lost their air advantage and had to guard against air raids. With this kind of strength loss, how could they retake Linfen?
There’s nothing we can do, Zhang Wu is just too powerful!
He let the ace pilot Kawajiro and three squadrons of Hayabusa fighters set a trap for Zhang Wu in an insidious way, and then sent planes to Linfen to lure Zhang Wu into their trap, killing him completely!
While the Japanese were setting the trap, in addition to the 10 tons of supplies promised by Zhukov which were still on the way, Zhang Wu's rewards in kind and the new commendation telegram had already arrived in Linfen.

"Damn it, another 10 dollars!"

Li Yunlong looked at the three war horses, 10 yuan, a medal, and two commendations that were sent to him, and his eyes were full of envy:

"It is said that a cannon shot is worth a ton of gold, and war is the most expensive thing. But it is different for Zhang Wu. The money he makes from fighting is huge!"

As he said this, he glanced at Zhao Gang, who was also smiling happily:
"I think after we drive the Japanese away, Zhang Wu can rely on these rewards and do nothing for the rest of his life, and still be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang nodded and agreed:
"I heard that the Soviet Red Army gave Zhang Wu another 10 tons of supplies in exchange for his battle reports. After coming to northwest Shanxi, Zhang Wu is making money faster and faster!
Plus his ability and contribution…"

After a pause, Zhao Gang said with a teasing smile:

"By then, Zhang Wu will definitely be a higher official and military rank than you!"

"No matter how high it is, I am your soldier. I am willing to serve you no matter how high it is!"

Li Yunlong was not shocked at all. Instead, he showed his pride in Zhang Wu and said proudly:
"I'd be happy if our independent regiment had a few more generals! That proves that our Lao Li is doing a good job!"

Knowing that Li Yunlong was quick to react and thick-skinned, Zhao Gang could not hit him, so he just joked and changed the subject and asked:

"Then I'll ask the troops to gather and let you borrow Zhang Wu to boost the morale of the soldiers?"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded:

“The sooner the better, the better. Gather now.

The Japanese may come to retaliate at any time. If we boost their morale early, we can also let them train hard early, so that fewer people will die when the battle breaks out in the future!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang said directly:

"I'll send someone to notify the entire group to assemble!"

Have a mission?
When he received the notice, Zhang Wu was teaching air force cadets. He guessed that the old cadets would take his place, so he and the messenger immediately rushed to the assembly point.

When he arrived at the gathering point, Zhang Wu saw the big red flowers, the basket covered with red cloth, and the red-decorated war horse prepared by Zhao Gang. Then he realized that his reward in kind had arrived!

Thinking about the 10 yuan reward on the radio, Zhang Wu couldn't help but curl his lips. The person whom the brigade commander had carried on his behalf was really generous. He was rewarded 10 yuan last time and another 10 yuan this time, as well as commendations and medals. If this were placed in later generations, it would at least be a special merit, 500 million yuan, right?

While he was thinking about this, the soldiers arrived one after another. Li Yunlong called Zhang Wu forward and read out in public:
"In view of Comrade Zhang Wu's overfulfillment of the task, the Eighth Route Army Party Committee has decided to reward Comrade Zhang Wu with a horse for the general, a horse for the division commander, and a horse for the brigade commander!
In recognition of Comrade Zhang Wu’s heroic feat, the Supreme Command commended him and awarded him 10 oceans and a second-class Baoding Medal!
In recognition of Comrade Zhang Wu's heroic deeds, the Second War Zone Commander-in-Chief commends him! "

After Li Yunlong finished reading, he handed the commendation to Zhang Wu. Zhao Gang also came forward with the soldiers carrying the dollars, uncovered the red cloth, revealing the dollars inside, and then put a big red flower on Zhang Wu's head.

The soldiers saw this and their envy was beyond words.

Even though they already knew about Zhang Wu's reward, they still couldn't help but feel envious after seeing it with their own eyes!

But they were not jealous!
Zhang Wu has killed the Japanese prince, so let alone all these rewards, even if it is doubled, Zhang Wu deserves it!

They gave warm applause from the bottom of their hearts, making Zhang Wu once again the most handsome guy in the independent regiment!
Seeing the soldiers' eyes, Li Yunlong knew that the time was almost right. He put his arm around Zhang Wu's shoulders, glanced at all the soldiers, and said loudly:

"Look at you, all of you are drooling, what, do you want it?

Sure, our group has always been capable of eating meat!

If the Japs speak, we must retaliate. As long as you train well now and improve your skills, and fight well for me in the next battle, even if you are not as good as Zhang Wu, I will apply for a commendation for you!
The one who performs outstandingly, I will give him a promotion!"

The soldiers were already in high spirits because of Zhang Wu's continuous major rewards. After hearing Li Yunlong's words, they rubbed their hands and shouted:
"Just practice. We all have one head on two shoulders. Who's afraid of who?"

"That's right, even if I can't beat Zhang Wu in the next battle, I will beat 10 of them!"

"I'm a good shooter. In the next battle, I'm going to kill 20 of them!"

"it is good!"

When the soldiers had finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand:
"Go train now. I'm waiting to apply for awards for you!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers said in unison.

Li Yunlong nodded to the soldiers with satisfaction, and then asked Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan to lead the soldiers to start training.

Zhang Wu doesn't need to participate. He just needs to quietly be the most handsome boy in his independent regiment and continue teaching the Eighth Route Army Air Force cadets.

But in addition to being a professor, he also required that half of the fighters and bombers be kept fully fueled and fully ammunitioned during the day!
Given the nature of the Japanese, after suffering such a huge loss, they will definitely take revenge in the near future. He must be prepared for air combat and air strikes at any time!
It is also a training for airport ground staff, killing two birds with one stone!
While he was busy, the special committee was not idle either. They quickly intercepted specific intelligence about the Japanese's revenge and sent it to the brigade commander as soon as possible.

"Damn it, the Japs are so fast!"

The brigade commander looked at the movements of the Japanese soldiers marked on the map and said to the chief of staff:

"It has only been a few days since Zhang Wu blew up their prince, and their revenge has already begun!"

"Yes, a Type B division and a Type A division, with more than 50,000 people, and heavy artillery. They are marching and attacking together. If we just defend, we will be too passive. I think it's better to take the initiative!"

The Chief of Staff echoed the analysis:
"After leaving the Tongpu Line, there is still a distance of 50 kilometers to Linfen. There are mountains, hills and plains in the middle, which is enough for us to do something!
Add Zhang Wu, he can launch air strikes and block the Japanese air strikes. If this is used well, he can be as good as 10 elite soldiers!"

As he spoke, he smacked his lips as if he remembered something:

"It's a pity that the Special Committee didn't find out the combat plans of the Taiyuan Japs' mixed flight squadrons, otherwise we would have been more proactive!"

"Alas, the Special Committee is not omnipotent. It's good enough to be able to obtain detailed intelligence on the ground!"

The brigade commander waved his hand, looked at the map for a while and said:
"Let all the regiment commanders come to a meeting. The Japanese have 5 or so troops to act together. Even if we want to ambush them, we must prioritize, otherwise we will suffer!" The chief of staff nodded:

"Okay, I'll go notify you right away!"

After receiving the notice, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up:
"Haha, the war is finally about to start. I'm almost going crazy!"

Zhao Gang said:

"We have to grab the main attack mission. There are 30000 people in our regiment. If we can't even grab a main attack mission, it will be laughable!"

While tying the assembly belt, Li Yunlong said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, the main attack will definitely be carried out by our independent regiment!
You dare to compete with me for the main attack, you are rebelling against them!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he packed his belongings, took Duan Peng, drove an armored vehicle, and headed straight for Linfen.

When they arrived at the Linfen Brigade Commander's headquarters, Duan Peng was waiting outside, and Li Yunlong walked in with full confidence!

Because the commanders of the 772nd Regiment, the New nd Regiment, all the directly affiliated regiments, and the Training Corps have all arrived!

Li Yunlong greeted the brigade commander and chief of staff first, then greeted them:

"Hey, Blind Cheng, you're fat again? If you don't lose weight, you won't get any good stuff in the future!"

"Kong Erlangzi, why are you still smoking a pipe like a poor guy? Do you want me to give you a few boxes of cigarettes?"

After Li Yunlong greeted everyone one by one, the brigade commander saw that everyone was present, asked all the regiment commanders to sit down, and then said:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. The Japanese's revenge has already begun. Let's talk about how to deal with it!"

As he said this, he gave the chief of staff a look, and the chief of staff understood immediately and told him the specific information about the Japanese's revenge, as well as the firepower configuration of the Ohga Division and the 41st Division!
"No problem, since the Japs dare to come, let's beat them to death!"

After the chief of staff finished speaking, Cheng the Blind could not wait to stand up and ask for battle:

"Now that we know the specific information about the Japanese, I think we should set up an ambush. My 772nd Regiment requests to be the main attacker in this ambush!"

"My new Second Regiment can also serve as the main attacker!"

Kong Jie stood up and challenged, unwilling to be left behind:
"My New Second Regiment now has 1 men, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, 100 grenade launchers and mortars, and 20 mountain artillery and infantry guns. We can stop any attack from the Japanese!"

"I can be directly under the First Regiment..."

Other regiment commanders also volunteered to fight, but before they could finish, they were interrupted by Li Yunlong's loud voice.

"Damn it, you dare to compete with me for the main attack, and I'm rebelling against you!"

Li Yunlong looked like he was not targeting anyone and everyone present was a loser, and said with a pout:
"In terms of seniority, when Kong Erlangzi, the most senior among you, was carrying the Hanyang-made machine, I was carrying the fast-slow machine!
Cheng the Blind is ranked second, and it was me who taught him how to shoot!
Compared to me, you are all just rookies!"

Without giving the other group leaders a chance to refute, Li Yunlong continued:

“Even if we don’t consider qualifications or strength, you guys will give it to me for nothing!
If you don’t believe me, go and take a look at my independent regiment. My independent regiment now has a total of 30,000 people!

Not counting rifles, just heavy weapons alone, I have more than 500 heavy machine guns, more than 1500 light machine guns, more than 600 grenade launchers, and more than 140 field guns, mountain guns, and infantry guns.

If you include rapid-fire cannons and anti-tank guns, there are more than 180 of them!

I still have 24 tanks and armored vehicles, even if you don't count Zhang Wu, the sharpshooter on the ground and the ace pilot in the sky, it's not that I look down on you, but all of you together are no match for my regiment!"

Before Li Yunlong could finish his words, all the regiment commanders were stunned. They did not expect that the independent regiment was so strong!

The German-equipped divisions, the Soviet-equipped divisions, and the American-equipped divisions are all little brothers in front of the Independent Regiment!

Even the Central Army’s ace troops can’t do it!

After a while, Kong Jie was the first to react, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Really?"

"Then there is still a holiday?"

Li Yunlong said with a mysterious and powerful expression:
"You can go to our regiment and see. If you have one bullet missing, I won't compete with you for the main attack!"

After hearing this, all the team leaders looked at each other and were speechless!

How can I explain this? In terms of seniority, they are inferior to me, and in terms of strength, they are crushed to pieces in seconds. The Independent Regiment is simply not on the same level as them!

Only Blind Cheng complained with a jealous look on his face:
"Isn't it all the equipment Zhang Wu has accumulated for you? You are so lucky to have a soldier as good as Zhang Wu!"

Li Yunlong was not ashamed but proud, and said with a smug look on his face:

"I can't help it. Zhang Wu is my soldier. It's useless for you to be jealous!"

Blind Cheng wanted to say something, but the brigade commander waved his hand:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, the main attack of this mission will be carried out by the Independent Regiment!

Now I will assign specific tasks!"

Upon hearing this, all the regiment commanders stood up, puffed out their chests, and waited for the brigade commander to assign them important tasks!

Even though they cannot beat the independent regiment, they don’t think they are worse than other regiments!

But just when the brigade commander was about to assign specific tasks, the voice of a messenger suddenly sounded outside the door:
"report!"

All the cadres were stunned. Is there any new situation?

The brigade commander also frowned and asked the messenger to come in.

The messenger came in, stood at attention and saluted:

"Brigade Commander, the remote observer reported that a Japanese plane was spotted in the northeast!"

Japanese planes?
All the cadres looked serious, and Kong Jie said immediately:

"Brigade Commander, quickly notify Zhang Wu to intercept them. No matter if the Japs are conducting reconnaissance or bombing, we cannot let them succeed!"

Li Yunlong glanced at him and said directly:
"No need to notify him. With Zhang Wu's cleverness, he must have gone to intercept him!"

Sure enough, a telegraph operator came in and reported:
"Urgent telegram from the airport: Japanese planes spotted, Zhang Wu has taken off to intercept them!"
