Chapter 24: Surrounding the Tower
"On the county front, in addition to the county town, there are 2 strongholds and 1 artillery tower!"

Li Yunlong pointed at the map and analyzed it for Zhang Wu based on the information he had obtained:

"The county town was dismantled from a brigade. Although there is only one squadron of Japanese soldiers and the Fifth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army left now, it can support Panshui Town with so many weapons. It may also be the main attack direction of the Japanese raid, so heavy weapons are definitely indispensable!
Attacking the county town will pose too great a threat to you!

15 miles away from the county town is the Shangwei Artillery Tower. There are only two squads of Japanese devils and a platoon of puppet troops here. Relying on the proximity to the county town and the support of the Xiawei stronghold, they have become very smart and have repeatedly threatened to attack the Eighth Route Army.

Damn it, we were far away before, but now it’s so close, I must find a chance to kill it!"

After punching the upper turret on the map, he continued to analyze:
"25 miles past the Shangwei artillery tower is the Xiawei stronghold, which is only 10 miles away from us. There is a squad of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops stationed there. There is a heavy machine gun, but I don't know if there are any grenade launchers.

But it is unobstructed and is the intersection of many highways, so the Japanese will provide support quickly.

40 miles further is the Gudian stronghold, which also has a small group of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops. The terrain is similar to that of the Xiawei stronghold.

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Wu:

"Which one are you going to hit?"

"Go up to the turret!"

Li Yunlong had hinted so clearly, Zhang Wu would definitely continue:

"No problem, we'll beat whoever is the most arrogant first!"

"Yeah, that's what I mean too!"

Li Yunlong nodded:
"The Shangwei Artillery Tower is at the foot of Queyanling, the remnant of the Taihang Mountains. The terrain is complex and suitable for guerrilla warfare. Even if the Japanese troops from the county come to support you, you will have enough time to move."

After that, he handed the 60 rounds of ammunition and three days of dry food and water that he had prepared long ago to Zhang Wu, and finally reminded him:

"The Xiawei stronghold is too close to us. It's safer to climb up Taihang Mountain as soon as possible and walk through the mountains! Don't take any risks even when you reach Queyan Ridge. You are my precious child and I can't let any mistakes happen to you!"

Seeing the deep concern in Li Yunlong's eyes, Zhang Wu felt warm in his heart:
"Don't worry, Captain. I will strictly follow the sparrow tactics and move to another place after each shot.

"As for guerrilla warfare, we are the ancestors of the Japanese, and we are fighting in the mountains, so the Japanese can only respect our ancestors!"

"Well, go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back!"

After waving goodbye to Li Yunlong, Zhang Wu filled the magazine of the Type 35 sniper rifle, opened the [lock] and [telescope], and was ready to deal with any emergency at any time. Before dawn, he left Luo Village, climbed up the remnant of Taihang Mountains, carefully bypassed the Xiawei stronghold, and walked miles to Queyan Ridge.

After getting a clear idea of ​​the general terrain of Queyanling through the telescope, he originally wanted to find a suitable position for guerrilla warfare, slowly attack the artillery tower, use it to lure the Japanese reinforcements, and look for opportunities to obtain equipment.

He would not miss such an opportunity to make money easily!
But just as he entered the 600-meter range of the Shangwei artillery tower, he saw a squad of Japanese soldiers leaving the tower, talking and laughing.

This squad is fully armed, even carrying machine guns!

Where are they going?

Because it was too close to the county town, there were no Eighth Route Army forces around, and Zhang Wu didn't believe that the Japanese soldiers were taking a walk fully armed.

That can only be harassment to the people!
Thinking of this possibility, anger rose from his chest, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred:
"Damn it, I think you really don't know how to write the word death!"

He instantly decided to kill this Japanese squad first and then attack slowly. He crouched and rushed forward on the reverse slope.

As long as this squad is wiped out, even if the Japanese reinforcements arrive and they cannot destroy the artillery tower, it will still have the greatest deterrent effect, forcing the Japanese to think twice before doing evil again, whether their brains are harder or their bullets!

After running 140 meters, Zhang Wu saw the Japanese soldiers entering the effective range. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, stretched out his gun, pointed it at the sergeant holding the non-commissioned officer's knife, and pulled the trigger directly:
Bang! The 6.5mm Arisaka bullet pierced the sergeant's head at a speed far exceeding that of sound, ending his sinful life.

[Ding, kill a Japanese sergeant and gain experience 15. (LV2: 638/2000)]

"You're just interest!"

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu snorted, quickly ejected the shell and reloaded the bullet, aimed at the Japanese machine gunner, pulled the trigger again, and then withdrew his gun and moved away.

Snapped

As soon as the Japanese machine gunner shrank his neck after hearing the gunshot, Zhang Wu shot him in the head.

[Ding, kill a Japanese machine gunner and gain experience 10. (LV2: 648/2000)]

"Enemy attack!"

The Japanese finally reacted. They each looked for cover. Some lay on the ground, some hid behind trees, and nervously observed their surroundings.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the artillery tower also reacted. They each took up their weapons and quickly took up their defensive positions.

The other sergeant was the most capable. He determined the general direction after hearing two gunshots, and he also knew that offense is the best defense:

"The enemy is between 7 and 8 o'clock. Cover and suppress with fire. Come on!"

Following his order, the machine guns and rifles in the turret opened fire together, and the 11 Japanese soldiers outside also turned their guns and followed suit.

But Zhang Wu had already moved away, and they were showing their power to the empty mountains, which posed no threat to Zhang Wu at all.

Hearing the gunshots behind him, Zhang Wu raised his lips in mockery. He immediately stopped, quietly stretched out his gun, aimed at the replaced Japanese machine gunner, and fired another shot:
Snapped

The Japanese machine gunner's body stiffened and he fell to the ground.

[Ding, kill a Japanese machine gunner and gain experience 10. (LV2: 658/2000)]

In this way, Zhang Wu fired a shot and moved to a new location. In just half an hour, he not only killed the remaining 10 people who left the artillery tower, but also killed the two machine gunners in the artillery tower, and gained 2 experience points.

Sniper!
No matter how dumb he was, he could guess Zhang Wu's identity. The sergeant, who was a bully and afraid of the strong, and had never dared to show his head, was so scared that his hands shook and the turtle box almost fell to the ground.

"Stop shooting, it's a sniper!"

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he pressed himself against the wall and shouted:
"We can't deal with snipers. I will ask for help from the county immediately. Don't reveal your cover again, unless you want to see His Majesty the Emperor in advance!"

Before he could finish his words, a slow-reacting flag bearer was shot down again.

This shooting is so accurate!

Looking at the unfortunate fellow on the ground, he didn't dare to stand there any longer. He crawled on the ground to avoid the shooting hole, crawled to the phone, dialed the number, and said anxiously:
"The upper turret was attacked by snipers. More than half of them have been killed or wounded. Requesting support. Hi Ya Ku, requesting support!"

On the other side, Zhang Wu saw that the Japanese puppet troops in the artillery tower no longer showed up, and guessed that they were asking for help, so he began to move to Queyanling on the side of the county road.

"Aren't you guys arrogant?"

While searching for a sniper point on the reverse slope that could take care of both the turret and the road, he sneered and mocked:
"Isn't it the Bushido that we specialize in fighting the Eighth Route Army? Isn't it invincible? Bah, a bunch of cowardly bastards who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
