The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"Haha, if I don't congratulate you on your wealth, can you give it to me?"

Seeing Li Yunlong's defeated expression, the brigade commander laughed and said:

"Look at how you're fussing about things. You're commanding 3 men in battle, and you're actually the commander of an army. Yet you're still fussing about this little bit of spoils. You're really embarrassing me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, how can you, the Grand Brigade Commander, be interested in this little bit of spoils?"

Li Yunlong took advantage of the opportunity to bargain:
"Why don't you just forget it this time!
A lot of the weapons and equipment I seized were destroyed by Zhang Wu. Although there seem to be a lot of them, there are actually not many intact ones!

And this time I plan to expand it to 6 people, so we have to take down the Japanese First Army for you, the brigade commander, right?
I promise that once we defeat the Japanese First Army, we will hand over all the spoils..."

"Stop trying to smooth things over for me!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the brigade commander, who glared at him and said:

"Even if Zhang Wu were to bomb the weapons and equipment of more than 2 people, how much could be destroyed?
You want to expand your regiment to 6 people, so does that mean my brigade must be expanded to 20 people?
Stop talking nonsense. You keep the weapons and equipment for 5000 people, and send the rest to Linfen City!"

Seeing that the brigade commander had no room for negotiation, Li Yunlong could only accept it:

"Yes, resolutely follow the order!"

"Well, that's pretty much it!"

The brigade commander's expression finally eased. He looked at Li Yunlong's distressed expression and said with reluctance:

"How about this, knowing that you have lost a lot of blood, I will allow you to use the damaged weapons and equipment. Is that enough to take care of you?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up:
"Thank you, Brigadier General!"

As he said this, he quickly stepped forward, took out a cigarette and lit it for the brigade commander in a very servile manner, then said in a flattering manner:

"Commander, you have been given so many weapons and equipment this time. Is it okay for me to make two small requests?"

"Damn it, I knew that smoking your cigarette would be bad!"

The brigade commander pointed at Li Yunlong and scolded him with a smile:

"Tell me, what's your request? You really know how to ask for help!"

As he said this, he stopped smiling and warned with a serious face:
"But I warn you, Li Yunlong, don't push your luck. If you make an unrealistic request, I won't agree to it!"

"Don't worry, Commander. I don't have any other requests. This is mainly for Zhang Wu!"

Li Yunlong said solemnly:

“Although I don’t know what the result will be when you let Zhang Wu carry out the mission of bombing the Japanese headquarters and headquarters alone, but judging from his support for the front battlefield, he was always accurate in his bombing, absolutely no mistake!
Without him, we would not have been able to defeat two Japanese divisions so quickly, and our independent regiment would not have been able to achieve a casualty ratio of 1:2.82!"

After hearing this, other group leaders also began to commend Zhang Wu.

Kong Jie was the first to nod and agree:
"Yes, Commander. Zhang Wu played a decisive role in this battle. If he hadn't bombed the Japanese headquarters and bombed their artillery positions and heavy firepower positions, we wouldn't have won so quickly. Our casualties would have increased by at least 2% on top of the !"

"That's right!"

Blind Cheng nodded in agreement and said:

"Zhang Wu is definitely the greatest contributor to this battle. My 772nd Regiment is willing to apply for a commendation from the general manager for him!"

The head of the first regiment also said:
"Yes, Zhang Wu's contribution deserves a commendation from the boss. Please ask the brigade commander to help apply for it!"

Seeing all the regiment commanders commending Zhang Wu, the brigade commander was not surprised, as Zhang Wu's contribution in this battle was indeed huge.

Just as he was about to agree, a telegraph operator handed several telegrams to the chief of staff and left.

After reading it, the Chief of Staff said with great joy:
"Good news. The special operations departments in various places have confirmed that Zhang Wu completely destroyed the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan and the Japanese Type B Division Headquarters in Xinzhou during last night's bombing. He even killed all the pilots at Datong's headquarters and Datong Airport.

In other words, Zhang Wu killed 5 Japanese lieutenant generals and 10 major generals in one night, and the number of other colonels and lieutenant colonels must have been dozens!

And because of him, the 120th Division has captured Datong and seized 10 planes at Datong Airport!
The 120th Division also sent a telegram to thank Zhang Wu for his help, and asked us to bring back all 10 planes as a thank you gift!

5 lieutenant generals, 10 major generals, and 10 airplanes as a thank you gift in one night?!
The brigade commander's eyes lit up as well. He couldn't wait to take the message and read it. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction:
"Well done, Zhang Wu is really awesome. He bombed the Japanese headquarters and the headquarters with one shot and hit them all. I'm going to apply for a commendation from the boss for him!"

After hearing what the brigade commander said, the other regiment commanders breathed a sigh of relief. They had done everything they could to help Zhang Wu!
Li Yunlong did not stop. He took advantage of the brigade commander's happiness and continued to recommend Zhang Wu for merit:

"Commander, my first request is to apply for a commendation from the general for Zhang Wu.

The second request is that you, the brigade commander, buy Zhang Wu an advanced aircraft!"

Advanced aircraft?!

Hearing this request, the other group leaders looked at Li Yunlong in surprise!

Although they don’t know how much an airplane is worth, it must be an astronomical figure, let alone an advanced aircraft!

They felt that Li Yunlong was asking for too much!
Li Yunlong also knew this, and he quickly explained:
"Brigade Commander, think about it, we have taken such a big advantage over the Japanese, they will definitely take revenge. Zhang Wu said last time that no matter how good his flying skills are, they can't make up for the difference in aircraft performance. This is why he decided to launch a surprise attack on Taiyuan Airport in advance!

If the Japanese come to retaliate again, they will use the performance of their aircraft to bully him. Wouldn't he be in danger?
You know how important Zhang Wu is to our Eighth Route Army. If he were killed by the Japanese because of his faulty plane, we would suffer a great loss!"

Seeing that the brigade commander did not directly refuse, Li Yunlong felt that there was still hope, and added again:
"Brigade Commander, an advanced aircraft may be expensive, but our Zhang Wu is so powerful. If we have an advanced aircraft, we can completely make the Japanese lose their air superiority!

With him here, our counterattack will definitely have much fewer casualties. This is a sure win business!"

Of course I know it’s a sure win!

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and still didn't say anything. He had already applied for Zhang Wu to buy an airplane, but he couldn't agree to it directly. Li Yunlong was a donkey. If you agreed too easily, he would definitely push his nose and make an inch!
In order to prevent Li Yunlong from causing trouble in the future, the brigade commander remained silent for a long time, then nodded with difficulty and said:

"Well, Li Yunlong, you are right. Advanced aircraft are indeed important to Zhang Wu. I will risk my reputation and apply for an advanced aircraft for Zhang Wu!"

Become!

Li Yunlong was delighted and quickly thanked him:
"Thank you, Brigadier!"

"Ok!"

Looking at Li Yunlong's expression, the brigade commander smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face:
"Okay, then quickly hand over the equipment and give me the battle report so I can apply for a reward and a plane for Zhang Wu!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong agreed, and even his pace in delivering equipment and writing battle reports became much lighter.

The brigade commander then worked out a distribution plan with Kong Jie and his team, and asked them to deliver equipment and write battle reports.

After all the regiment commanders had left, the brigade commander couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After the equipment was delivered and the battle reports were submitted, the brigade commander asked the chief of staff to sort out Zhang Wu's battle record separately, and then send all the battle reports to the division commander to apply for commendations and rewards for Zhang Wu and the outstanding soldiers and cadres in each regiment.

Xing County, where the 129th Division and the Eighth Route Army headquarters are located.

Seeing the brigade commander's victory report, the division commander's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help flicking the telegram and laughing:
"Great, we completely wiped out two divisions of the Japanese in one battle, and the casualty ratios were 2:1 and 2.82:1, which is an amazing record for the whole country!
And Zhang Wu, he blew up the First Army Headquarters of the Japanese, as well as the headquarters in Xinzhou and Datong, killing five lieutenant generals and ten major generals of the Japanese in one battle. Wow, he is truly a great general of the Eighth Route Army!"

The division commander agreed to all the rewards requested by the brigade commander at the end of the telegram, and decided to give Zhang Wu another award as "Division Combat Hero"!

Zhang Wu has made significant contributions, so the reward for Zhang Wu should be increased!

Thinking of this, he walked quickly towards the boss and said with a smile from a distance:
"Boss, good news. This morning, the 386th Brigade's Independent Regiment attacked the Japanese's newly formed Type A Dahe Division. The 772nd Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the First Regiment attacked the Japanese's 5st Division at night. In less than half a day, they wiped out more than 1 Japanese. The Independent Regiment also achieved a casualty ratio of 2.82:1, and the other three regiments also achieved a casualty ratio of 1.22:. This created a record for our Eighth Route Army to wipe out the Japanese in one go. It will go down in history!

Among them, Zhang Wu even destroyed the First Army Headquarters of the Japanese devils, as well as the headquarters of Xinzhou and Datong through bombing, and beheaded as many as 15 Japanese generals, including 5 lieutenant generals!
This is absolutely unique in the country, and even in the world!"

Completely wiped out 2 divisions, with a casualty ratio of 1:1.82, 1:1.22, completely wiped out 3 headquarters of the Japanese, and killed 5 lieutenant generals and 10 major generals? ! ! !
After listening to the commander, the general manager couldn't help but be extremely shocked. Either of the two achievements was impressive... no, it should be horrifying!

Simply don’t be too strong!
After realizing what was happening, the CEO couldn't wait to take the message and read it. The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a hearty laugh:
"Li Yunlong and his men were really decisive. In one battle, they wiped out two organized divisions of the Japanese devils, both of which were Type B divisions or above. This combat power is second to none in the entire Eighth Route Army, right? Ah, haha!"

After a pause, he continued with a smile:

"And Zhang Wu, his bomb throwing skills are no worse than his shooting skills, and he killed 15 Japanese generals at once... Wow, this guy has probably killed more Japanese generals than our entire Eighth Route Army, right? Haha, he is really a lucky general for our entire Eighth Route Army!"

The teacher showed an expression of fondness for Zhang Wu on his face, and nodded in agreement, praising him:

"Yes, he has killed more than 30 Japanese generals, one of whom was a general!"

Seeing that the boss was also proud of Zhang Wu, the division commander took the opportunity to commend Zhang Wu:

"Boss, Zhang Wu has performed so well, we must reward him!"

"No problem, give him an award as 'Eighth Route Army War Hero'..."

The boss felt it was not enough and added more money:

"Give him another award as 'First Model Soldier of the Eighth Route Army'. If our Eighth Route Army had not yet formally formed an air force, we would have at least given him an award as a combat hero of the 'Eighth Route Army Air Force'!"

"Oh, and there's that advanced airplane!"

The CEO added:
"Let's publicize our achievements first, especially Zhang Wu's, to build momentum for him. When the American reporter arrives, we can ask him indirectly about the advanced aircraft!

We can’t rush into this matter, otherwise the Americans may not sell it to us, or sell it to us at a high price because we are backward!”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the boss had no other instructions, the commander agreed:
"I'll do it right now!"

After he left, in addition to returning the call as requested by the boss and starting to publicize this battle and Zhang Wu's achievements, he also gave Zhang Wu an award as "the division's first model soldier."

The boss has increased Zhang Wu’s reward, so how could he fall behind?
After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander also gave Zhang Wu an award as "Brigade Combat Hero" and "Brigade's First Model Soldier", and vigorously publicized this battle and Zhang Wu's achievements to build momentum for the subsequent purchase of aircraft.

At the same time, he also instructed each regiment to step up recruitment and restore strength, and instructed the New 1st Regiment to defend the Japanese in Xinzhou and prevent them from leaving Xinzhou, in preparation for the capture of Xinzhou and Taiyuan.

For the brigade commander, the city and the lives of the Japanese soldiers are all his!
With the Eighth Route Army's vigorous propaganda, the Independent Regiment and others completely wiped out two Type B or above divisions of the Japanese devils. Zhang Wu first attacked the Taiyuan airport, killing the Japanese devils' ace pilot and destroying 2 planes, and then attacked four places at night, killing 37 Japanese devils' generals. The news spread like wildfire, and after shocking northwestern Shanxi, it quickly swept the country.

The position of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

After reporting to Chu Yunfei, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said with a lingering sense of shock:
"It was already surprising that the Eighth Route Army could wipe out more than two Type B divisions of the Japanese at one time. I didn't expect Zhang Wu to be even more powerful. He first blew up 2 Japanese planes and then killed 37 Japanese generals. I heard that he only needed one aerial bomb to blow up each Japanese headquarters!
One bomb, dropped at 4000 degrees at night... Hiss, I have to be frank, this is simply horrifying!"

Not only him, Chu Yunfei also couldn't keep calm anymore, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Yeah, I heard that if pilots want to bomb accurately, the best way is to dive. It's almost impossible to hit the target with one shot at an altitude of 4000 meters!"

At this point, Chu Yunfei was no longer surprised. He smiled slightly and said confidently:
"However, for Zhang Wu, who is good at creating miracles and can even sink a moving warship with one bomb, nothing is impossible!"

Fang Ligong nodded and agreed:

"Yes, ever since Zhang Wu locked up the Japanese in Panshui Town for three days, he has been creating miracles. He has defeated Japanese lieutenant generals, generals, tanks, and airplanes. His achievements are too many!"
