Chapter 156 Encounter with Japanese Cavalry
On the way to Li Yilong's residence.
Li Yilong would occasionally look back from the donkey cart in front of him at the cat-themed assault vehicle following behind.
Especially when you see a teenager driving this Jeep that looks like it's still being used, without any sense of incongruity, you can't help but marvel.
Old Li has fought many wars over the years and has seen plenty of strange things, but this vehicle and Bai Luo's equipment are something he has never seen before.
After looking back countless times, Li Yilong finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hey kid, where did you get this car? I've been in the army for over 10 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen one like it. What country made it?"
After hearing what Li Yilong said, Bai Luo rolled her eyes at him. This guy really didn't know how to talk, and ignored Li Yunlong.
After receiving a glare from Bai Luo, Li Yilong wasn't angry. Instead, he joked with the soldiers around him.
"Hey, this kid's pretty cocky, just like Old Li. I'm even thinking of adopting him as my godson. Hahahaha."
The soldiers around him laughed a few times upon hearing their commander's words.
Bai Luo ignored the teasing from Li Yilong and the others in front of him. He had long since stopped using such a simple provocation tactic.
Instead, he opened the system's battle results page while driving.
He hasn't settled accounts with the Japanese soldiers he killed a couple of days ago.
"Battle over. Host has killed 73 Japanese soldiers. Reward: 2920 points."
Bai Luo glanced at his total points again: 380011. He was less than 12 points away from activating the Silly Bear account.
Li Yilong, who was laughing in the donkey cart in front, suddenly realized that Bai Luo in the back had no reaction at all.
They still ignored him completely, which made him feel powerless, like he was punching cotton.
His aim was to provoke the kid into showing off where his equipment came from. He wasn't blind; the kid's gear and the machine gun mounted on the vehicle clearly indicated a formidable firepower.
This made Li Yunlong, whose firepower was already depleted, extremely anxious, wishing he could grab the little guy by the collar and force him to talk.
But the other person is just a child, which makes Li Yilong feel ashamed to do such a thing.
Then he realized that the kid would be staying at his base from now on, so Li Yilong wasn't in a hurry.
He looked at the soldiers around him who were still laughing heartily.
Li Yilong's face fell.
"What are you laughing at? Comrade Bai Luo is here as a guest. If I find out anyone neglects him in the future, I'll teach them a lesson."
The soldiers around him almost strained their backs from Li Yilong's sudden change of expression.
He thought to himself, "Didn't you start this first?"
Although the soldiers were all inwardly complaining about how quickly their commander could change his attitude.
But none of them dared to show it openly.
One by one, their smiles vanished, and they made repeated assurances.
Bai Luo didn't mind Li Yilong's rapid change of expression, after all, he was a soldier in his previous life and knew the atmosphere of the military very well.
Might makes right.
They dare to make fun of him.
Once we get to the base, we can just beat Li Yilong up.
Suddenly, Li Yilong sneezed twice. He couldn't help but rub his nose and curse at the soldiers around him.
"Which of you sons of a bitch cursed me in your heart?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers all turned their heads away from Li Yilong, who was sitting on the donkey cart, and it was clear that almost all of them cursed him.
"Hey, you bunch of brats, wait..."
"Commander Li, whose territory does this area belong to?"
Bai Luo's sudden words interrupted Li Yilong's remaining speech.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Li Yilong was completely bewildered by Bai Luo's sudden outburst.
He glanced around and said, "I will answer."
"This is the territory of the Independent Regiment. We'll be in my area in three hours. Are you tired, Brother Luo? Why don't you take a break?"
Bai Luo did not answer Li Yilong's question.
"How far is the nearest unit to the Independent Regiment? You can send someone to call for reinforcements."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yilong seemed to sense something and quickly jumped off the donkey cart and lay down on the ground to listen carefully.
About 20 seconds later, Li Yilong got up from the ground with a grim expression.
"Shunzi, go to the Independent Regiment's base right now and tell Kong Jian to bring reinforcements over as soon as possible."
"Yes." The soldier named Shunzi immediately took off running towards the earthen slope on one side.
Li Yilong frowned as he watched Shunzi run quickly up the hillside. Having just heard the tremors from the ground, the battle-hardened Li Yunlong immediately recognized what the noise was. There were at least 100 horses running about 2 kilometers ahead.
However, their own troops did not have cavalry units.
Excluding his own people, he couldn't think of any other unit besides the Japanese that had so many horses in that location.
Given the speed of this cavalry, the enemy should be less than 2 kilometers away now.
Li Yilong looked up and surveyed the surrounding terrain. There were uneven earthen slopes all around, but none of them were steep, so the people on horseback could easily charge up.
Their donkey carts, carrying so much cargo, were certainly not as fast as the horse caravan.
It seems there's no way I can escape now.
The only option now is to build shelters and use them to buy time.
But looking at his less than one squad of soldiers, Li Yunlong wasn't very confident that he could hold out until the Independent Regiment's reinforcements arrived.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Luo again.
"Young man, drive your jeep back immediately. I'll stay here with the soldiers to buy you some time. If you're fast enough, help us get back to headquarters and call for reinforcements."
Bai Luo ignored Li Yilong and instead drove the car across the road in front of the donkey cart.
Under Li Yilong's puzzled gaze, Bai Luo turned off the Cat Assault Vehicle.
Then he climbed directly into the back of the cat car and stood in the firing position of the vehicle-mounted Gatling gun. This vehicle-mounted Gatling gun is not the 556 bullet type that Silly Girl uses, but a 12.7mm caliber one.
Silly Girl was also holding Bai Luo's 191 assault rifle, aiming it forward.
Pull the ammunition supply device out of the trunk and connect it to the vehicle-mounted Gatling gun. Once everything is ready,
Bai Luo then answered Li Yilong's question.
"It's too late to run now, Commander Li, prepare to engage the enemy."
As soon as Bai Luo finished speaking, three galloping horses appeared at the corner of the opposite path.
As the first three horses came into Bai Luo's view, a surging procession of horses emerged from behind the earthen mound that had been blocking Bai Luo's view.
A hundred fine horses galloped toward Li Yilong and Bai Luo, raising dust that filled the air like a golden storm.
Li Yilong watched with a grim expression as the Japanese cavalry charged towards his side.
There was no time to dissuade Bai Luo, and given the current situation, Bai Luo really didn't have time to leave first.
All he can do now is prevent these three children from dying before him.
Seeing the approaching Japanese cavalry, Li Yilong gave the order.
"Everyone, fix bayonets and prepare to engage the enemy!!"
"Yes!!"
