The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Chapter 43: Battle of Cangyun Ridge 3
Even though the New 1st Regiment's grenade launchers and mortars cut off the Japanese's skirmish line, their grenade launchers and heavy machine guns were still intensively attacking the second and third lines of defense to cover their infantry!

Two infantry guns were simply unable to suppress the Japanese's 2 scattered grenade launchers and 72 heavy machine gun positions!

If Zhang Wu had not been attacking these heavy firepower points and killed 8 heavy machine gunners and 10 grenade throwers, the soldiers on the second and third lines of defense would not even be able to fight back.

As the Japanese infantry artillery began to extend its attack on the grenade launcher and mortar positions of the New 1st Regiment, the Japanese follow-up troops rushed up again.

They even began to build fire points on the first line of defense to attack the second line of defense!

Damn it, the firepower is still insufficient!
Seeing that the attacks of the second and third line of defense soldiers were also blocked by the Japanese, Li Yunlong sighed and was forced to make adjustments again:
"We have to withstand this round of artillery fire head-on until the grenade launchers and mortars recover!

Go find Zhang Wu and ask him to support the position on the left.

Let the infantry artillery adjust the angle and bombard the Japanese skirmish line on the right side. As for the middle position..."

As he spoke, he drew out the revolver from his waist and waved at the guards:

"Follow me!"

But Huzi hugged his waist:

"Captain, you still have to command the overall situation. I'll go!"

He then let go of her hand:
"Guard Company, follow me!"

On the other side, Zhang Wu received Li Yunlong's order and immediately crouched down and ran to the hill on the left.

When he reached a distance of 600 meters, he raised his gun and aimed at a red dot of a charge. When the [lock] was pulled, he pulled the trigger directly.

Snapped

The red dot disappeared immediately.

[Ding, kill a Japanese flag bearer, gain experience 4. (2276/4000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet while running 20 meters clockwise.

He poked his gun out from behind a large rock, waited for the [lock] to be pulled, and pulled the trigger again.

Snapped

The Japanese soldier had just raised his Type 99 rifle to shoot when Zhang Wu shot him in the head.

[Ding, kill a Japanese machine gunner, gain experience 10. (2276/4000)]

In this way, under Zhang Wu's precise attack, although the speed was a little slower, one shot killed one Japanese soldier's head, and they quickly broke through the position they had just built, stabilizing the precarious situation.

"Zhang Wu, you are really awesome!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately gave the order:
"Let Zhang Wu work harder and go to support the hill on the right. I don't believe it. I have Zhang Wu to support me back and forth. Do you little devils have unlimited artillery shells?"

How could the Japanese have unlimited artillery shells?

Seeing that the New 1st Regiment was still able to stabilize the situation despite such intensive artillery bombardment and the attacking Second Battalion was showing signs of decline, Sakata Nobutsu was unwilling to waste artillery shells.

He gave up this wave of attack, asked the artillery to provide cover, and withdrew the second battalion.

"The Eighth Route Army on the other side is too tenacious!"

Sakata Nobutsu said helplessly to Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo:
"We have already used a full 5 bases, 100 rounds of artillery shells, and almost flattened the hilltop, and they can still launch an effective counterattack!"

"Yes, fortunately you retreated quickly, otherwise their grenade launchers and mortars would have adjusted their positions and the casualties of the Second Battalion would have been even more serious!"

Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo nodded and agreed:
"Sir, I think except for the infantry artillery, their other firepower is not much weaker than ours!

Especially the hill on the left, we were clearly attacking the second line of defense, but the offensive suddenly stopped working! "No, that's because of the sharpshooter Zhang Wu!"

Sakata Nobutsu waved his hand and said firmly:

"You may not have noticed just now that the firepower points on the hill to their left have not increased much. It was not until our warriors began to die in large numbers that they gained the upper hand!"

"Searched the temple!"

It was just a deliberate flattery, and Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo immediately showed a look of deep approval:

"Your Excellency, the Captain, is indeed very observant. Only a sniper of the caliber of Zhang Wu, the Sharpshooter, could have such attack power!

Unfortunately, he was too cunning and our spotters still couldn't find him!"

Sakata Nobutsu felt very comfortable being photographed. He glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo and asked:
"Pu Youjun, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the magic spear Zhang Wu?"

Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo immediately realized that his superior was trying to show off. He pretended to hesitate for a while before shaking his head.

"The magic spear Zhang Wu is elusive and hiding among the three three-headed people on the main peak of Cangyun Ridge. I can't think of any good way to deal with him. Please punish him, Captain!"

Sakata Nobutsu did not punish him, but pointed at Gao Gang on the side and said:

"I plan to set up my headquarters there!"

Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo understood immediately, and he said eagerly:
"Are you going to use the headquarters as bait to lure out the sharpshooter Zhang Wu? But that location is too obvious, you'll be in danger! Why not set up a fake one..."

“No, Urayasu-kun, if it’s fake, do you think you can fool such a cunning sharpshooter Zhang Wu?
What's more, that high hill is more than 2000 meters away from the main peak of Cangyun Mountain. As long as we destroy their infantry artillery, even if everyone in the New st Regiment sees it, what will happen? "

Sakata Nobutsu was full of confidence. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand with a white glove and clenched his fist:

"From that high hill we can also better observe the New 1st Regiment's position. I only need to set up observers and traps layer by layer between Cangyun Ridge and the high hill. With the sharpshooter Zhang Wu observing from all directions, he will definitely be able to lock onto him!
Pu Youjun, haven't you realized that if we don't kill the most dangerous sharpshooter Zhang Wu, we will never be able to take Cangyun Ridge before 12 noon as required by the headquarters! "

"Captain, you are right!"

Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo nodded:
"I will arrange for the artillery to blow up the infantry artillery on Cangyun Ridge, then set up a command post and lay traps!"

"Akito sack!"

But Sakata Nobutsu called him:
"We must not make our intentions too obvious. We should arrange for the Third Battalion to prepare for an attack, and then attack once all preparations are complete.

I think that the sharpshooter Zhang Wu will definitely take advantage of the chaos of the attack to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters, and then..."

Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck:
"Dead, dead!"

On the other side, Zhang Wu went back and forth to provide support, and killed many of the Japanese soldiers as they retreated, gaining a total of 432 experience points.

Taking advantage of this gap, he found the commander of the 5th Battalion, Gu Dashan, to ask for bullets.

After such a long time of consumption, his bullets were almost out.

Without any hesitation, Gu Dashan took out the 200 rounds of ammunition that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Zhang Wu:
"Without your support, we can't hold our defense line! Well done to you for not bringing shame to our Ninth Company!"

The commanders of the 4th and 5th battalions also gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, I won't say thank you enough. After we move, I will definitely treat you to a drink. You have been a great support to our position!"

"My 5th Battalion is the same. Without Zhang Wu, we almost couldn't hold on just now! No doubt, I will buy you a drink when it's safe!"

吱

Before Zhang Wu could say anything, the sound of a rapidly falling artillery shell suddenly sounded in the air.
