The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"Yes, yes, my request is definitely not excessive!"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed, and he flattered the brigade commander in a very servile way, and then listed Zhang Wu's contributions in detail, paving the way for the reward he promised to give Zhang Wu:

"In this battle, Zhang Wu of our regiment performed the best. He found out the Japanese's deployment in advance and killed the Japanese's iron bastards, two artillery battalions, sharpshooters, and artillery squadrons of each regiment. Only then could our independent regiment achieve a casualty ratio of nearly 2:1.

Plus, he had made military achievements before..."

At this point, he secretly looked at the brigade commander, and seeing that the brigade commander looked like he agreed, he made two requests in one breath:

"I want to ask for a commendation from the boss and promote him to deputy commander of our independent regiment. If anything happens to me, the independent regiment will have him leading it and its combat effectiveness will not collapse!"

The damage ratio is 1:2? !
The brigade commander raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. He didn't expect that facing more than 3 Japanese devils, the independent regiment seized all the weapons and equipment of the Yuechuan Division, but could still achieve such a good result!
Thinking of this, he agreed directly:
"Okay, these two requests can be granted. Zhang Wu has good marksmanship, strategic vision, and various tactics. We can ask the boss for a commendation for him and promote him to deputy commander!"

As he said this, he glanced at Li Yunlong:
"Tell me, what's your last request?"

"Thank you, Brigadier!"

Li Yunlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good start, and then he continued:

"Finally, I would like to ask the brigade commander for help and ask the special committee to buy 30 rounds of water-repeating bullets for our Zhang Wu!"

"Water-filled bullets?"

The brigade commander frowned and asked in confusion:

"Isn't Zhang Wu using a Mauser rifle? It works fine. Why did he buy Mosin-Nagant bullets? Return 30 rounds. Did you get the money to be a special committee member? This request..."

Seeing that the brigade commander was about to deny it, Li Yunlong quickly interrupted and explained:
"Brigade Commander, I know our Eighth Route Army is not well-off, but the situation is different this time!
You don't know, our Zhang Wu's shooting skills have improved again, he can now use water beads to hit 1900% of the time at 4 meters! Just think about it, % of the time within miles, such a large attack range, let alone helping the special committee to carry out the decapitation mission, even in the frontal attack and defense of the large army, this guy can play a decisive role!
At that time, even if you ask me to fight against the Japanese Type C Division, Type B Division, or even Type A Division, our independent regiment will guarantee to complete the task..."

"How much? 1900 meters?"

Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, the brigade commander widened his eyes and couldn't help but screamed:
"From such a long distance, even if you look through a telescope, people are just black dots!"

The chief of staff next to him was no less shocked than he was:
"Yeah, let alone 1900 meters, even 1000 meters is within the range of the artillery. Can his rifle catch up with the artillery?"

The brigade commander had studied in Europe, so he knew more than the chief of staff:
"On the European battlefield, there are indeed sharpshooters who can achieve accurate shooting at around 1000 meters, but their best, the best, can only achieve around 1000 meters, 1900 meters... our Zhang Wu's range is almost twice theirs?"

"Then there is still a holiday?"

Li Yunlong said with a proud expression of Zhang Wu:
"Even without the water ball, our Zhang Wu can still hit the target 1300 times in meters!

If his attack range wasn't so large, how could our independent regiment have wiped out the largest division among the two Japanese brigades under their noses and taken away all the spoils?"

Even without water, it is still 1300 meters!!!
The brigade commander and the chief of staff both believed it, and the brigade commander laughed loudly:

"Haha, Zhang Wu is really awesome. With this shooting range, he is undoubtedly the best marksman in the world!"

"That's right!"

The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement:

"And his hit rate, he never missed a single shot, plus his shooting speed, our Zhang Wu is definitely the best in the world!"

The brigade commander also nodded, then waved his hand and said:
"Since our Zhang Wu is so powerful, we must ensure that his bullets are in place!"

As he said this, he pointed at Li Yunlong and scolded him with a bad smile:
"Damn it, why are you so short-sighted? What can 30 rounds do? You need at least 50 rounds, so that I don't have to ask for money all the time!"

50 rounds!

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed, fearing that the brigade commander would go back on his word:
"Thank you, Brigade Commander. I don't want anything else. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. Even if it means fighting on the Japanese mainland, I will not hesitate!"

"Is it you who wants to fight?"

The brigade commander kicked Li Yunlong on the buttocks, then laughed and scolded:
"There will be this opportunity. As long as the Japanese don't surrender, we will fight them to their homeland!"

Li Yunlong immediately stood at attention and said:

"Yes, I will be the pioneer then!"

"Alright, stop flattering me. Just say nice things and follow my orders!"

The brigade commander waved his hand and returned to the topic:

"Hand over the weapons and equipment now. I will go back and ask Zhang Wu for credit and ask the special committee to buy bullets. The Japanese are stepping up their efforts to form a Type C division. We cannot delay the next battle!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong agreed and went with Zhao Gang to hand over the equipment. When handing over the equipment, he saw that the brigade commander was happy and tried to keep more heavy weapons for himself.

The brigade commander saw it, but he turned a blind eye and pretended to be confused.

All the weapons and equipment of the 7000-man independent regiment have been taken. It’s okay for Li Yunlong to keep some more heavy weapons, because the independent regiment will be used to deal with the Japanese divisions when the time comes!
Good steel must be used on the blade!

In this way, Li Yunlong left behind 1 mountain artillery battalion, 1 rapid-fire artillery battalion, 6 infantry guns, 40 heavy machine guns, 120 light machine guns, 72 grenade launchers, 2000 triple-cap rifles, and corresponding ammunition.

The other brigade commanders commanded their direct battalions to load all the equipment onto the trucks, and took away the battle reports that Zhao Gang had hurriedly written.

"Commander, please take care!"

After waving goodbye to the brigade commander in a very servile manner, Li Yunlong turned to Zhao Gang and said:
"Well, originally we were going to expand the force to 28000 people, but now we can only expand it to 2 people!"

“2 people is not a small number!”

Zhao Gang said with great satisfaction:
"We have 2 people in one regiment, which is the size of two divisions. Haha, I wouldn't even dare to think about this in the past!"

"What's so unthinkable about this?"

Li Yunlong looked at him with one eye wide open and one eye narrowed, and said with a pout:
"It's just that our weapons and equipment are not enough, otherwise I would have expanded my army by 10 men and it still wouldn't be enough! Without so many troops, how can we drive the Japanese out?
Didn't you hear from the brigade commander that the Japanese are forming a Type C division? We don't even know what the size of the Type C division is. Will it work if we don't expand it?"

Zhao Gang heard the hidden meaning behind Li Yunlong's words:

"I understand. What you mean is that our regiment should step up recruitment during this period and complete the reorganization as soon as possible, so that we can find an opportunity to fight the Japanese division, right?"

"Hey, you old Zhao are also a genius!"

Li Yunlong pointed at Zhao Gang twice and laughed:
"You already know what I'm going to say without me even having to say it!"

He nodded and analyzed confidently:
"That's right. The Japanese were already short of manpower, and we have destroyed two of their divisions in the past few months. If they want to form a new, larger division, they must shrink their forces and stabilize their important strongholds and large cities.

Ping'an County where our regiment is stationed is close to the heart of the Japanese First Army - Taiyuan area. We will definitely be at the forefront when the time comes. Otherwise, the brigade commander will see me giving him discounts on weapons and equipment? Dream on!"

After the analysis, he gave a detailed explanation:
"After arranging the soldiers to enter Shimenbao, first do as I said before and reward the soldiers well. Our Eighth Route Army is not rich and has little military pay, so we must not skimp on the rewards for winning the battle.

Then we will have a three-day holiday. After three days, you will step up the recruitment and I will step up the training. We will reorganize the artillery as quickly as possible!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Okay, let's do as you say. Let's divide the work!"

They began to reward the three armies and when they awarded rewards based on merit, the brigade commander also returned to the brigade headquarters with the looted spoils.

After checking that the Special Committee had no intelligence on the specific actions of the Japanese, the brigade commander first sent the victory report of the independent regiment to the division headquarters, and then sent a telegram to the Special Committee to purchase 50 Mosin-Nagant bullets and to find out the specific actions of the Japanese.

In order to make the speech more convincing, the brigade commander also asked the chief of staff to attach the specific battle report of the independent regiment and the explanation of Zhang Wu's 1900% hit rate at meters.

Xing County is where the Eighth Route Army's divisional headquarters are located.

The special committee received the telegram from the brigade commander first. The division commander's eyes lit up, and the more he read, the more the corners of his mouth curved. Finally, he couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, great! With the support of the Japanese, we were able to defeat their strongest Koshikawa Division. The Independent Regiment fought a great battle!
I think Zhang Wu’s deputy group leader is fine, as for the boss’s commendation…”

Having said that, he walked quickly towards the boss, reporting the victory with a smile on his face:

"Boss, good news! The Independent Regiment has wiped out 11000 Japanese soldiers from the Yuechuan Division that had been mopping up the area in Guanyunling. The casualty ratio is close to 1:2!

There were two Japanese divisions, and the distance between them and the Yuechuan Division was only two hours. The battle of the Independent Regiment really demonstrated the power of our Eighth Route Army, forcing the Japanese to stop fighting! "

3 were killed out of more than 11000, and the casualty ratio was close to 1:2?

Hearing the commander's words, the boss's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to take the telegram and took a quick look, then he burst into laughter:

"In this battle, Li Yunlong was very accurate in finding the target and fought beautifully!
I was wondering before, why did the Japanese suddenly retreat after conducting sweeps for more than two months?
It turned out that the independent group wiped out their main force, ah, haha!"

"Yes, the independent regiment can find the target so accurately and fight so beautifully, all thanks to Zhang Wu!"

The division commander began to pave the way for Zhang Wu to receive credit:

"Zhang Wu followed the Japanese for two days and found out their defense situation in advance. When the independent regiment launched the attack, he destroyed the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, 2 artillery battalions, and all artillery squadrons. This allowed the independent regiment to wipe out the entire Yuechuan Division in just a few hours!

The battle report also said that Zhang Wu can now hit the target with 1900 shots at a distance of over meters. Such a sharpshooter is unique in the European battlefield. Our Eighth Route Army has produced the world's best sharpshooter!
Such a good soldier deserves a prize! "

“Number one in the world?!”

The boss raised his eyebrows and quickly looked through the message again. When he saw the words "hundred shots hit the target at 1900 meters", the smile on his face widened:
"Haha, Zhang Wu is really an arrogant guy. He has become the world's number one without any fanfare..."
