One man's resistance against Japan, I mobilized a million people to aid Shanghai.

After a short rest, Xie Jinyuan received another order and launched an attack on the Japanese.

Meanwhile, the brothers of the First Battalion were advancing with difficulty amidst the Japanese's dense artillery fire.

Every step they took was fraught with gunfire. They quickly searched for cover in the surrounding area and used it to advance with great difficulty.

The brothers in the battalion charged forward amidst the artillery fire and bullets.

The brothers were suffering increasingly severe injuries, either from being shot in the head or from having their legs or arms wounded during the advance.

They were either hit by artillery fire, because all the bunkers on their way to the Japanese positions had been reduced in size by the shells.

They could only barely manage to get some cover for the soldiers of the first battalion to crouch behind them. They watched as their brothers suffered such heavy casualties, and the number of casualties kept increasing.

Zhu Yong stepped forward and approached Xie Jinyuan, saying, "Let us go, we can join the battle."

Xie Jinyuan shook his head. "High-achieving students like you shouldn't be throwing your lives away like this. Besides, you're snipers, the best in our unit."

"You will be more useful if you stay in the back. Now is not the time for you to charge. Stay in the back and when it is your turn, I will let you go."

Upon hearing Xie Jinyuan's words, Zhu Yong shook his head. "We are not top students. We are just like all the soldiers before us; we are all ordinary people of China."

"We share the same blood, and what we are doing now is the same. Protecting our homeland is our duty."

"Let's go! We can join the fight too. We don't need to hide in the back and be protected."

"Besides, we're good marksmen. Sending us might even reduce casualties among our soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinyuan was moved to tears. He had originally thought that these people who had returned from studying in Germany would have some arrogance and fear of the battlefield.

But the battle just now made him realize that these people had no fear whatsoever.

But he was reluctant. These were sharpshooters who never missed a shot, and they were invaluable to him. How could he bear to let them be at the forefront?

So, in his heart, he wanted Zhu Yong to stay behind and preserve some seeds for their troops.

But he hadn't expected Zhu Yong to be so persistent. Seeing the determination in Zhu Yong's eyes, Xie Jinyuan nodded vigorously and finally agreed to let Zhu Yong go out to fight.

After receiving permission, Zhu Yong immediately led his 12 clones to the nearby building, intending to occupy the high ground first.

After a series of thrilling evasions and fierce battles, Zhu Yong and his men finally seized the high ground and began to ambush the Japanese soldiers. Once Zhu Yong and his clones reached the high ground and began their attack, the results were immediate.

Because of their unerring marksmanship and their high vantage point, they could kill a group of Japanese soldiers with every shot.

The first attack wiped out 12 Japanese sergeants in one fell swoop, and the second attack wiped out 12 Japanese soldiers and a number of machine guns.

What formidable combat power! Before the Japanese soldiers could even discern the enemy's direction, their heads were already blown off.

Even when weapons fell beside them and destroyed the machine guns, they still didn't discover where their opponents were hiding.

This is also an important reason why snipers are so valuable on the battlefield. As long as you hide well and shoot from the shadows, even if the Japanese soldiers rack their brains, they will not know what is going on.

Even if they know there are snipers, they can't stay hidden behind cover forever. If they are exposed, the snipers can seize the opportunity and instantly headshot them.

The soldiers of the First Battalion, who were hiding behind cover and preparing to charge again, suddenly felt that the Japanese firepower had weakened.

Looking at the enemy again, the few fierce firing points from before had now fallen silent.

The soldiers of the First Battalion were overjoyed, knowing that it was Zhu Yong who led the snipers to take out the Japanese firing positions.

Morale soared, and taking advantage of the moment when the firepower was weakened, the soldiers of the First Battalion charged wildly toward the Japanese.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yong, who had been hiding on a high point, was aiming his gun at the Japanese soldiers, silently calling out their names one by one in his mind.

Just as he fired another shot and blew a Japanese soldier in the head, he suddenly sensed danger.

He immediately dodged to the side, and it was this instinctive reaction that saved him from a fatal blow, but he was still hit in the ear.

Moreover, at the same time he was hit in the ear, the three clones next to him also died instantly.

Now he had nine clones left. Seeing the three clones next to him die instantly, Zhu Yong immediately realized that the other side had sent a sniper.

If he weren't a sniper, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such speed and accuracy, and he had no idea where the bullet had come from.

He immediately ordered his clones to disperse and not gather together.

Zhu Yong had his clones disperse, and then led them to engage in combat with 20 Japanese snipers.

At this point, it's a test of patience; whoever reveals their position first will be the first to die.

The Japanese soldiers used the same tactic again, using the cover in front of them to keep firing at the brothers of the First Battalion, trying to force Zhu Yong and the others out.

The brothers of the First Battalion fighting at the front were shot down and watched as they were tortured to death by these Japanese soldiers.

They knew the Japanese soldiers wanted to use them to force Zhu Yong out. All the soldiers were determined to die rather than surrender. They didn't want Zhu Yong to suffer like this either, or because they exposed their own position, they directly detonated the glorified thunder.

Seeing this result again, with so many soldiers of the First Battalion lost, Zhu Yong was furious and quickly launched a counterattack.

Using the cover in front of him, Zhu Yong fired wildly at the snipers who had just revealed their positions by firing their guns.

The Japanese snipers were equally determined; any enemy sniper who showed their face or attacked them would have their own follow-up shot, even if it meant sacrificing someone nearby.

In the midst of this fierce counterattack and resistance, all of Zhu Yong's clones were eventually killed by Japanese snipers.

However, before they were killed, they also managed to take down 20 Japanese snipers, and Zhu Yong himself was seriously wounded.

After the sniper battle ended, Xie Jinyuan found Zhu Yong, who was covered in serious injuries. Seeing his miserable state, he hugged Zhu Yong's body and cried bitterly.
