Chapter 160 Li Yilong and Bai Luo Make a Bet

Bai Luo immediately removed the magazine and ejected the bullets from the chamber.

He then pulled out a new magazine from the side, and Li Yilong saw that the bullets inside were all painted red.

Although it was a bit strange, it didn't bother Bai Luo.

Bai Luo quickly inserted the magazine well, and with a "click," it was chambered.

With his gun propped up on the bunker, Bai Luo crouched down and aimed at the Japanese artillery company 3000 meters away.

After the crosshair was locked onto the mortar ammunition box closest to the Japanese artillery major.

Bai Luo adjusted his breathing and stabilized the gun. Thanks to his strong physical abilities, the crosshair, which had been swaying with his breathing, immediately became stable.

"Bang".

Bai Luo pulled the trigger immediately, and the Barrett fired a loud shot as the high-explosive armor-piercing round in the chamber flew toward the target at a speed of 900 meters per second.

Li Yilong was also startled by the loud gunshot, thinking to himself, "Why does this thing make the sound of a cannon?"

But he didn't have time to think about that now; he held up his binoculars and looked down at the artillery company behind the Japanese soldiers.

Just as Li Yilong put the binoculars in front of his eyes, he discovered that an artillery company behind the Japanese troops had exploded.

Before Li Yilong could recover from his shock...

Bai Luo's second shot rang in Li Yilong's ear, and three seconds later, an explosion occurred at the ammunition box next to the six Type 97 mortars in the middle of the Japanese artillery.

Li Yilong, mouth agape, put down his binoculars and turned to look at Bai Luo, but before he could speak, Bai Luo fired three more shots in quick succession.

"Boom bang bang."

The three loud gunshots made Li Yilong's ears go numb and his head buzz.

His mouth was also filled with dirt from the recoil of the Barrett.

But Li Yilong didn't care about his ears. He spat the dirt out of his mouth onto the ground and stared at Bai Luo with wide eyes and disbelief.

This kid really took out the Japanese artillery company with just one gun; that was nearly 3000 meters away.

He glanced again at the Japanese camp, but wait, the last three shots were fired at the infantry artillery on the high slope behind them.

Li Yilong quickly estimated the distance, and after a long while, he figured it was indeed about 3500 meters.

Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief. His last three shots were fired at the Japanese heavy artillery positions on the high slope 3,3 kilometers away, where the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns and Type 96 150mm mortars were located.

Because of the poor angle, only one of the three shots hit the target, but the secondary explosion of the shell still destroyed the Japanese infantry artillery position that the Japanese had set up on the high slope.

It was also the Japanese who were careless. Relying on the fact that the Red Army had no weapons and could shoot so far, the Japanese blatantly set up artillery positions within the Red Army's line of sight.

Its main purpose is to make you visible but impossible to hit.

But the Japanese never expected that there would be such an exception in the Red Party ranks.

Recovering from his shock, Li Yilong excitedly spoke up.

"Xiao Luo, you're amazing! When it comes to marksmanship, I, Lao Li, admire you the most. Even the Heavenly King himself would have to step aside. Especially those last three shots."

"What are you calling me? You should call me brother."

This statement effectively shut down any further words Li Yilong might say.

Bai Luo also completely pulled him back to reality from his excitement.

It seems he lost the bet.

"Who is Li Yilong?" he asked Bai Luo, who was waiting for him to call him "brother."

“This doesn’t count. You said it would be over in 3 shots, but you fired 5. Old Li doesn’t bully kids, so this is a draw.”

After saying that, Li Yilong turned around and ran towards the lower position.

He was too ashamed to stay by Bai Luo's side any longer.

The Japanese soldiers were also startled by the explosions from the artillery company behind them.

The Japanese had just set up their command post on a reverse slope. It was fortunate that it was a reverse slope; otherwise, if Li Yilong had seen this Japanese command post, he would have definitely ordered Bai Luo to attack it.

The commander of the Japanese Third Regiment, Tetsuya Sakata, strode out of the command post.

"What's going on? Where did the explosion happen?"

As he spoke, Sakata Shin walked to the top of the slope and surveyed the surroundings.

They immediately discovered that the artillery positions that had just been set up to their sides and rear had turned into huge craters.

Before he could react, he heard an explosion from the heavy artillery unit on the hill behind him.

At the same time, Tetsuya Sakata heard three consecutive shots, whether from guns or cannons, coming from the opposing Red Party positions.

Seeing this, it was obvious that the enemy's artillery positions were definitely the work of the Red Party.

Sakata Tetsu quickly walked down the slope. If the Red Army could reach the artillery positions, they could definitely reach his position as well.

At that moment, Sakata Tetsu's adjutant rushed over.

"Reporting to the Colonel, the Red Army troops on the other side have used some kind of weapon, causing our artillery company's ammunition boxes to explode."

"How many artillery casualties have there been? Are there any undamaged cannons left?"

Sakata Shin interrupted his adjutant directly, getting to the heart of the matter.

"The artillery was almost entirely wiped out. Only one Type 92 infantry gun was overturned but still usable, but there was no one to operate it."

"Bageya Road."

Upon hearing this news, Sakata Tetsuya erupted in a tirade of curses. It took him quite a while to calm down.

Once he calmed down a bit, Sakata Tetsu gave orders directly to his adjutant standing beside him.

"Order the First Battalion to begin the attack immediately."

The adjutant did not immediately relay the order after hearing it from Sakata Shin.

Seeing that his adjutant hesitated as if he wanted to say something after receiving the order, Sakata Tetsuya spoke directly.

“Mr. Post, we’re friends in private, so just say what you want to say.”

After hearing Sakata Tetsu's words, Pu Youji Er did not hesitate and spoke directly.

"Sakata-kun, wouldn't a direct attack cause too many casualties among the Empire's soldiers? Should we wait and bring in another artillery squadron from the rear?"

"There's no time left. The brigade commander's order is for our regiment to take the forward positions on the main peak of Yunling by 12 o'clock. There's no time left for us to mobilize artillery."

Sakata Tetsu paused at this point.

"Moreover, looking at the Red Party's defensive positions on the other side, although they are well-organized, their forces are too small, only one regiment, and not even at full strength. The First Battalion is more than enough to deal with them. If the attack is stalled, I will consider sending the original city's air squadron to provide support."

Upon hearing that his regimental commander had considered everything, Pu Youji was filled with admiration. Without saying anything more, he left the command post and headed to the first team's assembly point to relay the attack order.

9:30 am.

After receiving orders from their regimental commander, the Japanese First Battalion immediately deployed and launched an attack on the Red Army's first defensive line.

However, the first line of defense against the Japanese invaders was not the Red Army soldiers on the front lines.

It was a minefield they had laid out overnight.

These minefields were supposed to be cleared with artillery shells, but now that the Japanese artillery has been dealt with by Bai Luo, the Japanese can only risk their lives to scout ahead.

With the first Japanese soldier unfortunately falling victim to the mines, the landmines planted by the Communist Party began to show their power.

Every now and then, two or three unlucky Japanese soldiers would fall on the way of the Japanese advance. The Japanese battalion commander frowned. Originally, this was the work of the artillerymen, but now he could only use the lives of his men to fill the gap.

Fortunately, the homemade landmines made by the Red Army were not very powerful. Although many Japanese soldiers fell, most of them suffered only minor injuries.

The Japanese battalion commander could accept this loss.

But what the Japanese battalion commander didn't know was that he was about to step into the minefield that Bai Luo had secretly added to.

The Japanese battalion commander saw that they were about to enter the enemy's firing range.

He drew his command sword and gestured to the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
