The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Not only the pilots, but also Major General Li Mei squeezed into the crowd and gave Zhang Wu a thumbs up, praising him sincerely:
"Zhang Wu, your flying skills are amazing. I will assign the best crew members to you and give you the greatest freedom when performing the mission so that you can give full play to your talents!"

Maximum freedom!
Hearing this, the other pilots looked at Zhang Wu with envy, but they were not jealous. With Zhang Wu's strength and skills, there would be no problem for him to carry out the mission alone!

And the best crew!

Zhang Wu's eyes also lit up. Major General Li Mei really took good care of him!

Thinking of this, he gave a subtle compliment:

"Thank you, General. From now on, I will complete any mission under your leadership!"

"OK!"

Major General Li Mei nodded to Zhang Wu with satisfaction, asked the other pilots to disperse, and took Zhang Wu to continue the unfinished welcoming banquet.

The colonels and lieutenant colonels who accompanied him this time were no longer as rebellious as before. They toasted Zhang Wu frequently and their words were full of compliments to Zhang Wu!
Having achieved the desired effect, Zhang Wu did not become arrogant. He frequently responded with words of high emotional intelligence, giving face to everyone!

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Major General Li Mei glanced at Zhang Wu and asked:
"Zhang Wu, do you have any requests for the crew members?"

Then he explained the reason for asking:
"The crew of a B-29 bomber usually consists of 12 people, including you as the pilot, the co-pilot, the navigator, the bombardier, the mechanic, the radio operator, the radar operator, and five gunners.

In response to our 10,000-meter-high altitude bombing, the Japanese found that ground attacks and aircraft attacks were not a big threat to us, so they began to use Feiyan fighter jets to ram us. This is the so-called "Kamikaze Special Attack Force" they recently formed!
Your main mission here is to kill those damned Feiyans during the bombing and provide cover for the entire bombing formation!"

Zhang Wu nodded suddenly, and after thinking for a while he said:
"In this way, the firing buttons of the five turrets can be connected to my driving position and operated by me. Except for the bombardier, radio operator, and radar operator, no one else can be needed!"

After a pause, he added:
"It would be even better if we could replace all the 12.7mm machine guns in the turret with machine guns!"

The B-29's five turrets are located at the front and rear of the fuselage, the front and rear of the belly, and the tail. If all of them can be replaced with 5mm machine guns (effective range 20 meters), plus [Lock 2000], its attack range can reach a radius of 4 meters!
Moreover, those turrets are all rotating turrets, so he doesn't have to keep the nose of the plane pointed at the enemy plane all the time, and his attack speed can be faster!

"no problem!"

Major General Li Mei agreed to all of them without even thinking about it. He felt that it was not enough, so he continued:

"The 20mm cannon only has 100 rounds of ammunition. I will expand the magazine for you. Each gun can hold 500 rounds, for a total of 2500 rounds. This should be enough for you to attack and intercept the Japanese planes!"

2500 rounds!
Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. He was firing a single-launch missile, and the Japanese could not possibly send out 2500 fighter planes to intercept him at once. This would definitely be enough!
Thinking of this, he quickly thanked:
"Thank you, General. That will surely be enough!"

"Ok!"

Major General Li Mei nodded and asked:
"What good suggestions do you have for night raids?"

Night attack?

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows and understood it immediately. It should be that the US military’s current bombing of the Japanese homeland has a low hit rate and success rate!

It's normal to think about it. It's impossible to be accurate when bombing the ground at an altitude of ten thousand meters. Basically, bombing is done over a large area and it all depends on luck!

After all, they don't have the system skills to calibrate!
However, things are different now. Zhang Wu is here and can provide them with guidance!
Even so there will still be deviations, but it is definitely more accurate than they were before!

In addition to bombing fixed targets in the Japanese mainland, there was probably also the mission of bombing mobile surface ships during the Philippine Campaign.

With the help of Li Yunlong's wisdom, Zhang Wu quickly figured out a solution and told Major General Li Mei everything:
"If we are bombing the Japanese homeland and have specific bombing targets, we don't need to form a formation anymore and can just bomb based on our bombings!
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, I can hit the target with 100% accuracy!
It would be best to replace them with high-explosive gasoline incendiary bombs at that time. In this war of aggression launched by the Japanese, there are few innocent people on their homeland!

As for bombing mobile ships, I think we can do it at a low altitude of about 5000 meters, and I can also provide guidance!"

At 5000 meters, he can use [Telescope 6] to scan surface ships!
Guide the bombing!

Looking at Zhang Wu who was able to draw inferences from his experience, Major General Li Mei was also slightly surprised. When he was formulating the tactics before, he had thought similarly to Zhang Wu, that is, to follow Zhang Wu's guidance and use incendiary bombs for low-altitude bombing to intimidate the Japanese to the greatest extent!
He just didn't expect that Zhang Wu could not only carry out accurate bombing at an altitude of ten thousand meters, but also guide moving surface ships!

It's even better than his tactics!

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Thinking of this, Major General Li Mei made the decision directly:
"Use high-altitude bombing guidance as tactic No. 1, and low-altitude guidance as tactic No. 2. I will have the other bombers in the formation remove most of their machine guns and ammunition depots to increase the bomb load as much as possible!"

Major General Li Mei was a man of action. After determining the tactics, he personally sent Zhang Wu to a single room to rest. Then he summoned all the pilots, mechanics, and ground crew of the bomber formation to announce the tactics, modify the bombers, and select crew members for Zhang Wu.

Everything else was fine, but when they heard that they were going to select crew members for Zhang Wu, the whole base was in an uproar, and the number of people who came to sign up almost crushed Major General Li Mei's door.

There was no other way. Zhang Wu was simply too powerful. Following Zhang Wu meant a higher chance of survival and a higher chance of completing the mission - who wouldn't want military merit?

In response to this situation, Major General Li May raised the selection standards again and selected them completely according to the standards for fighter pilots.

General Zhang Wu is the ace of their 21st Bomber Squadron, and the other crew members must be no weaker either!
At least when Zhang Wu used maneuvers to attack the Japanese planes, they had to withstand the dizziness caused by the plane's rolling and provide assistance to Zhang Wu in time!
In this way, after three days of selection, bombardier Thomas, radio operator Alexander, and radar operator Davis were finally selected as Zhang Wu's crew members.

Thomas is a black guy who is also a chatterbox. After being selected, he excitedly took off his shirt and waved it in the air while laughing triumphantly:
"Haha, guys, Dad is going to follow Zhang Wu's Unit 133. From now on, we will be like gods!"

Alexander and Davis were both rookies. Alexander, who was serious, couldn't help but nod in agreement:

"Zhang Wu is indeed a god-like existence!"

Davis stuttered a little, his face flushed, and he managed to utter three words:
"No, that's right!"

After selecting the crew members, Major General Li Mei asked his adjutant to take them to report to Zhang Wu.

After listening to the adjutant's introduction, Zhang Wu nodded to the three of them. Just as he was about to speak, Thomas spoke first.

Thomas bared his only white teeth and said to Zhang Wu in a servile manner:

"Hey, boss, I'm your bombardier Thomas. From now on, you'll be my boss. I will resolutely carry out your orders. Even if you ask me to wash my socks, I won't say a word!"

Zhang Wu smiled after seeing Thomas, who was like a funny guy:
"No need for socks, just drop the bomb when I tell you to!"

"Yes, boss!"

Thomas saluted Zhang Wu and asked him questions in a familiar manner:

"Boss, where did you learn this technique? Can you teach me?
You don’t know, your flying moves that day were so cool, if I learn it, I can pick up at least three girls, three girls with big butts…”

"That's enough, shut up!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alexander:
"Can you give the captain's ears a rest for a while?

The captain is sorry to say this to you when we meet for the first time, but you have to learn some rules!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up now!"

Thomas spread his hands and smiled apologetically at Zhang Wu:
"Boss, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like talking, now I will shut up, only you can make me speak!"

Zhang Wu nodded at him, knowing that he was a chatterbox, and then looked at Alexander who had spoken. Alexander introduced himself very sensibly:
"Hello, Captain. I'm Alexander, the radio operator. I'll be in charge of all your communications with the outside world!"

Simple enough!
Zhang Wu also nodded to him, and finally looked at Davis.

Knowing his situation, Davis opened his mouth quickly, fearing that Zhang Wu would despise him. However, the more anxious he was, the more he stuttered:

"My name is David Davis. It's your radar..."

Speaking of radar, Davis suddenly stopped stuttering as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened:
"Radar operator, I will report any display on the radar to you immediately, and I promise not to stutter!"

Zhang Wu also knew his characteristics and nodded with a smile:
"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay the battle!"

Seeing his grateful expression, Zhang Wu patted his shoulder, glanced at the three people, and finally said:
"From now on, we are all in the same boat. I hope everyone can unite and conquer this blue sky, completely subdue the Japanese invaders, and end this war as soon as possible!"

Although they did not quite understand Zhang Wu's analogy, they still understood the overall meaning. Thomas was the first to pat his chest and assure:
"No problem, boss. I will be your loyal lackey from now on!"

Alexander saluted solemnly and said:

"Yes!"

Davis didn't say anything, but kept nodding!

Next, after the aircraft were modified, Zhang Wu led them to train according to the two new tactics to hone their coordination in various situations.

On the other hand, after reporting Zhang Wu's situation to MacArthur, Major General LeMay continued to receive intelligence and plan bombing targets on the Japanese mainland.

In this way, half a month passed quickly, and Major General Li Mei's first mission arrived.

To cooperate with the upcoming Philippine Campaign, MacArthur ordered Major General LeMay's 21st Bomber Squadron to bomb the Japanese air bases on islands such as Luzon, Leyte, and the Ryukyu Islands to seize air supremacy.

After receiving the order, Major General LeMay marked the Japanese airports on the islands on the map based on the intelligence, made bombing plans, and then convened a meeting of all the squadron leaders and captains of the bombers.

The combat mission is coming!

After receiving the notice, Zhang Wu understood it immediately and went to the command center where the meeting was held.

When he arrived, he greeted Major General Li Mei first, and then waited for the other four squadron leaders and 4 pilots of the base to arrive. Major General Li Mei said straight to the point:

"We will serve an appetizer to the Battle of the Philippines. MacArthur ordered us to bomb the Japanese airfields on Luzon, Leyte, and Ryukyu Islands in three days. It is also a good opportunity to practice our new tactics in actual combat!"

As he said this, he spread out the map, pointed at the eight airports marked on it and said:
“We conducted a night attack three days later. The 1st Squadron carried out Tactic No. 2 and bombed two airfields on Luzon Island.
The 1nd Squadron also carried out Tactic 2, bombing two airfields on Leyte and Mindanao;
The 2rd Squadron carried out Tactic No. 2, bombing two airfields at the southern end of the Ryukyu Islands;
The 2th Squadron also implemented Tactic No. 2, bombing two airports on Iwo Jima and Truk Atoll!
Each squadron takes off every half an hour and contacts Zhang Wu via radio, who directs the bombing!"

"Yes!"

The four squadron leaders all stood at attention and received orders!
Major General Li Mei looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, you have to work hard. You will be in charge of directing the eight targets. The effectiveness of this bombing depends on you!"

The other squadron leaders and captains also smiled and said to Zhang Wu:
"Yes, this new tactic is up to you!"

"That's right. If we succeed, it will be much easier to bomb the Japanese mainland!"

After taking a look at them, Zhang Wu had already memorized the locations of the eight airports on the map, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, General, leave it to me!"

"Ok!"

Major General Li Mei nodded and finally said:
"After the bombing, all squadrons will return immediately to prevent interception by the Japanese from other places.

This time Zhang Wu has too many places to guide, so he can't protect you!"

"Yes!"

The other captains and squadron leaders agreed again and left to prepare.

After the plane's weapons, ammunition and fuel were all loaded, three days later, after Zhang Wu and his companions had dinner, Zhang Wu turned on all his skills and boarded the plane. Under the guidance of the ground, they flew into the sky in batches, first climbing to an altitude of 1 meters, and then headed straight for Luzon Island.

On the way, Thomas kept talking:

"Boss, you have to avenge me this time. We almost got shot down by the Japanese last time!"

"It's so dark at night, we won't fly to the wrong place, right?"

"Oh, Davis, you have to speak faster, or I won't forgive you if it affects your head!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhang Wu was annoyed by his chattering, so he could only tell him to shut up, and then asked Alexander:

"Alexander, notify the guys in the first squadron to follow our flight course closely and make sure it doesn't deviate!"

"Yes!"

Alexander promised to contact the First Squadron immediately and then report the situation to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wuze asked Davis about the flight direction of the First Squadron, and after confirming that there was no deviation, he continued to fly without distraction.

Finally, after an hour and a half, he approached the location of the Japanese airport...
