But in the end, they had been utterly routed.
The entire special operations unit had been reduced to just over twenty men.
Their losses were catastrophic.
And now they were trapped in such a tiny county town.
This was simply the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.
"Bastard!"
He cursed furiously in his heart, his expression turning grim.
Just then.
A liaison officer rushed in.
His face was deathly pale.
His whole body was trembling.
"Something... something happened, Colonel."
Yamamoto Ippon had already been in a foul mood.
Seeing the liaison officer like this made him even angrier.
But he still maintained the bearing of a professional soldier.
He asked coldly.
"What is it?"
He knew.
The Independent Regiment was currently attacking the city.
But with the city's sturdy defenses and superior weaponry.
They could definitely hold out.
Once reinforcements arrived.
Wiping out the Independent Regiment would be no problem.
Yet the liaison officer could not get the words out.
His mouth opened and closed.
Then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
It looked like he had been scared unconscious.
Yamamoto Ippon frowned.
Something was wrong!
This was not right!
What exactly had happened?
He hurried outside, called for his attendants, and climbed onto the city wall.
Then he heard it.
From the direction of the south gate came earth-shaking battle cries.
It had already been breached.
The Independent Regiment's army was charging in.
And he was at the north gate.
Outside the city.
The Independent Regiment's commander, Li Yunlong.
Was actually standing in midair!
In an instant, Yamamoto Ippon was stunned.
What was going on?
How could a person float in the air?
This was reality, not some myth or legend.
"Yamamoto, you bastard, you finally came out."
Li Yunlong's gaze was incredibly sharp.
With one glance, he spotted Yamamoto Ippon climbing onto the gate tower.
He could not help but burst into laughter.
But there was an eerie chill in that smile.
Like a savage beast that devoured men.
"Mr. Li Yunlong, I never expected your insignificant Independent Regiment to make such a grand display. But even so, taking this county town will not be so easy."
Yamamoto Ippon forcibly regained his composure and spoke.
He was a graduate of Germany's Munich Special Forces School.
A special warfare expert from the Japanese army.
During training, he had even used captured Chinese soldiers as live targets.
He was cruel and ruthless by nature.
But he was also tough-willed, resolute, and exceptionally decisive.
He was a truly terrifying opponent.
"That was before. Now, that may not be the case."
Li Yunlong laughed.
He suddenly raised a hand in a beckoning gesture.
Boom!
A heavy machine gun from the positions outside the city suddenly flew into the air and landed in Li Yunlong's hand.
Li Yunlong gripped it with one hand.
His arm.
Seemed to contain the immense power of a giant elephant.
He held it steadily level.
Aiming at the city wall.
The muzzle was pitch-black, as if it would devour everything.
"Yamamoto Ippon, go back to your hole."
Li Yunlong let out a furious roar.
And pulled the trigger.
Rat-a-tat-tat!!!
The heavy machine gun immediately spat flames.
The recoil of a heavy machine gun was extremely powerful.
When firing, it had to be secured to the ground.
Otherwise, a soldier simply could not withstand it.
But Li Yunlong held it in one hand, as though it were a small pistol.
Moreover.
He was not spraying bullets wildly.
He was firing in controlled bursts!
One bullet, one life.
Amid the dense rattle of gunfire.
Machine-gun bullets.
Shot out in rapid succession!
Every single one struck the forehead of a Japanese soldier or puppet soldier with perfect accuracy!
Then their heads exploded.
And their bodies crashed to the ground.
In the blink of an eye.
One person after another fell from the city wall.
"Ah!"
The city wall erupted into chaos. Everyone panicked as if they had gone mad.
Under normal circumstances.
They might have been able to hold on.
But what they were seeing now was too shocking, beyond all reason.
They broke down at once.
Yet they could not escape either.
Li Yunlong's firing was unbelievably fast and unbelievably accurate.
His eyes were cold, like the Grim Reaper harvesting lives.
The men on the wall had no time to fight back before they were all cut down by gunfire.
For a time.
Other than the gunshots.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
Everyone watched the scene in horror.
Too powerful.
Suspended in midair.
One-handed.
Controlled bursts from a machine gun.
Each sight was like something from a myth, completely beyond everyone's imagination.
Yamamoto Ippon was stunned as well.
It was as though Li Yunlong was doing it on purpose.
The people around him were being shot in the head one after another.
After their heads exploded.
Bright-red blood and white brain matter.
Splattered across his face.
Making his body tremble.
Yet he alone.
Had not been shot yet.
At this moment.
Even Yamamoto Ippon, whose will was as hard as steel.
Felt ice-cold all over.
He was nearly driven mad.
His eyes turned bloodshot.
What was going on?
What the hell was going on?
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The Japanese soldiers on the city wall were shot in the head one after another.
Blood splattered.
Brains sprayed everywhere.
The sight was incomparably horrifying.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were completely dumbfounded by what they saw.
