Chapter 1485: Chapter 1534 Attack Battle
(Birthday today, one year older...)
Li Yifei took down nine people in one go, then stopped, withdrew his finger from the trigger, his face stern, saying nothing to Koboto Kobayashi beside him.
Picking up a magazine, he switched it out at a measured pace. Through the scope, Li Yifei could see that the people on the island were in complete disarray, utterly terrified by his incredible marksmanship. They didn’t even know how many people on the opposite side were firing, and in a blink, nine people were shot, some even shattered by the bullet’s sheer force. Even the ruthless Yamaguchi Group members rarely saw such scenes, so many were stunned with fear.
Motoharu hurriedly hid away, realizing that Koboto Kobayashi’s camp had gained a sharpshooting sniper, quickly guessing it was Li Yifei’s doing. His face filled with fury, he wished he could capture Li Yifei right now and tear him to pieces.
"Return fire, return fire!!" Motoharu suddenly jumped up from the ground as if shocked, kicking away a subordinate who was supporting him, and shouted to several subordinates nearby. Hiding behind cover and too scared to retaliate, they only started firing back upon hearing Motoharu’s orders.
But the distance was too far, and their firearms couldn’t reach; only the sniper rifles could. Hastily, Motoharu had someone retrieve the sniper rifles.
After losing three subordinates, they managed to retrieve two sniper rifles, and a few who could use them began hurriedly firing back.
The opponents became alerted, causing Li Yifei’s hit rate to decrease. After firing four or five shots without hitting, he lowered the gun and paused the shooting.
He tilted his head to look at Koboto Kobayashi, who hurried over, eagerly watching Li Yifei, thinking how, if he had more like Li Yifei, he wouldn’t need to attack. With just a few sniper rifles for Li Yifei, the enemies on the island could be swept away, killing one as they come, killing pairs if two come.
Li Yifei glanced at the island ahead, then said to Koboto Kobayashi: "Get your men ready to go. If they don’t go, the enemies will keep hiding, and my sniper rifle won’t be effective. Charge now, and I’ll provide suppressing fire from the rear."
Koboto Kobayashi nodded fiercely, dismissing the unrealistic dream from his mind and said, "Okay, I’ll have them charge immediately."
After speaking, Koboto Kobayashi stood up and ordered several subordinates nearby: "Everyone heard that, Mr. Golden Eagle will provide us suppressing fire. I command you to charge the island in one go, capture the traitor Motoharu alive. Whoever captures or kills Motoharu, I’ll reward them with one hundred million Yen!"
Koboto Kobayashi felt this was still lacking in momentum, so he added, "Also, promote his position by three levels!"
Within the Yamaguchi Group, strict hierarchical systems are prevalent, a feature found in the Underworld worldwide, making promotion exceedingly difficult, especially for young people, given the rigid generational hierarchy. Hearing Koboto Kobayashi’s promise, many young men present seemed to have taken stimulants, sharpening their weapons, holding their guns ready, each one filled with excitement.
Koboto Kobayashi waved his hand, and immediately a group of people charged out. These people rushed out in a chaotic manner but knew to spread out a bit; otherwise, they’d become concentrated targets.
Li Yifei reloaded and resumed aiming.
With Li Yifei overseeing at the back, Koboto Kobayashi felt confident, even prepared to rush up himself, holding his gun. Had it not been for some loyal subordinates pulling him back, Koboto Kobayashi would have charged forward shouting.
However, he might have been pretending; under such real gun conditions, his self-preserving nature wouldn’t likely allow him to charge heroically.
A group surged forward, creating a spectacular scene, but Li Yifei, watching from behind, simply frowned, lifted his head, and yelled to Koboto Kobayashi: "Are you brain-dead? At such a distance, can they still have the energy to fight after running over?"
Koboto Kobayashi heard Li Yifei’s voice, paused momentarily, then hurriedly asked, "Mr. Golden Eagle, what’s wrong?"
Li Yifei, speechless, replied: "Quickly call them back, are you a pig? Can they fight after running hundreds of meters? What are these cars here for? Drive them up there."
Koboto Kobayashi’s eyes widened; listening to Li Yifei’s suggestion, he froze for a few seconds before smacking his hands together, turning and running forward, shouting to his men who’ve already run dozens of meters ahead: "Stop and get in the cars, drive straight up."
Previously, before Li Yifei arrived, there had been attempts to drive up there, only to be repelled back. But this time, with Li Yifei providing suppressive fire, everyone’s courage surged.
Upon hearing Koboto Kobayashi’s shout, the Yamaguchi Group members rushed back, jumped into the cars, and drove up while shouting.
Koboto Kobayashi looked at Li Yifei somewhat embarrassedly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, murmuring internally about how he could have forgotten such an obvious strategy, sending his men rushing forward to become sitting ducks. With this thought, his admiration for Li Yifei grew stronger.
Just as he was about to say something nice, Li Yifei’s gaze returned to the sniper scope, so Koboto Kobayashi could only rub his hands together, laughing dryly with a few hissing sounds.
Motoharu, being very cunning, did not emerge again, staying hidden in a safe place to command, while instructing his subordinates to guard the defensive fortifications they had originally constructed.
Dozens of people, all armed, presented a formidable force. After two minutes, both sides began to engage, bullets pouring out with a bang, striking the car body and making a series of clanging sounds, like a battlefield.
Continuous screams and wails were heard. Koboto Kobayashi also became nervous when a sniper bullet whizzed by, but missed by a significant margin, hitting the car body seven or eight meters from Koboto Kobayashi, scaring him into dropping to the ground, not daring to lift his head. After cowering for a long time, Koboto Kobayashi slowly crawled to the back of a car before he dared to let out a deep breath.
The enemy sniper had terrible accuracy. Although aiming at Koboto Kobayashi, the bullet was way off the mark. This death-defying shot didn’t take out Koboto Kobayashi but instead brought death upon himself.
Originally hidden behind cover, Li Yifei couldn’t spot him, but once he exposed himself to take that shot, Li Yifei immediately locked onto his position. With a flick of his wrist, Li Yifei repositioned the sniper rifle, barely pausing before firing a shot.
A bullet flew out of the chamber, spinning through the air as it went...
Bam, the bullet struck the sniper who was still irritated at missing Koboto Kobayashi, the powerful kinetic energy instantly shattered his heart. His last thought in life was probably one of regret, regretting taking that shot at Koboto Kobayashi.
Li Yifei’s finger continuously squeezed the trigger, using the large caliber sniper rifle like a mobile machine gun. The muzzle turned, gunfire spewed out, each deadly bullet finding its mark, hitting enemy after enemy. With such a lethal sniper rifle in hand, Li Yifei was a god of death descended to earth.
Li Yifei showed no mercy, as these people across from him had repeatedly tried to ambush him and threatened his family, leaving him with no reason to spare them.
Each bullet seemed to have eyes, pursuing those on the opposite side.
The snipers painstakingly organized by Motoharu were mostly taken out by Li Yifei before they even had a chance to fire. It was as if he had a built-in radar, accurately locating and taking out each sniper with one precise shot, despite their wide separation.
Koboto Kobayashi’s men quickly charged into the enemy’s camp. Although these people weren’t regular soldiers, they weren’t afraid to handle guns and, with plentiful ammunition, they fired relentlessly.
With Li Yifei’s suppressive fire, Motoharu’s men retreated step by step. They could have used the terrain to block Koboto Kobayashi’s men, but now with the snipers continuously taken out, those who dared to show themselves to fight back faced the risk of being killed by Li Yifei. So, this charge soon broke through.
The men on Koboto Kobayashi’s side were all extremely excited, howling furiously and shooting madly at their opponents.
"What do we do? Let’s retreat. The sniper on the other side is too fierce, our men don’t even dare to show their heads..." a loyal subordinate shouted in Motoharu’s ear, protecting him.
Motoharu’s face twisted, now deeply afraid of Li Yifei. Hearing his subordinate’s suggestion, his will to fight quickly faded.
"What about these people..." Motoharu hesitated, as a few bullets hit the cover, scaring him into shrinking his head further down.
The subordinate quickly persuaded, "We can leave some people behind; we’ll protect you to leave."
Those left behind would naturally be the outer perimeter subordinates, whose lives had never concerned Motoharu. Now, with a single glance from his subordinate, Motoharu made up his mind.
His own life was the most important. Everyone else’s fate was irrelevant. Initially, when Motoharu decided to confront Li Yifei, he relied on Martial God Yanagio Inujiro to fight against Li Yifei, thinking that by bringing Li Yifei here, he had no chance of winning. Later, by holding the island, he thought that with more men and guns, no matter how fierce Li Yifei was, he couldn’t take down so many people alone. Who would have thought that Li Yifei, with just a sniper rifle, could neutralize so much of their combat power.
This wasn’t even a battle on the same scale! Controlling the battlefield with ease from hundreds of meters away, how could they fight this battle?
Seeing the fear on his subordinates’ faces, Motoharu decided within seconds to flee with his men. There was a dock with yachts and speedboats on the other side of the island.
At this moment, all Motoharu could think about was escaping. So he quickly ordered his subordinates to call back his trusted aides and place the temporary recruits upfront to hold the line, sending a few not-so-important high officials to the front as well.
He himself got on a speedboat with his men and fled quickly.
