145: Recover your investment

The troop transport vehicle roared into the airport through the gap torn open by the tank, its engine thundering.

The Security Team Members, long starved for action, unleashed indiscriminate suppressive fire on every moving Japanese target in sight.

Rat-a-tat-tat~~~

A dense rain of bullets poured out like water.

Any soldier who dared to peek out to counterattack, any artilleryman attempting to operate Anti-aircraft Guns for direct fire, any panicked Ground Crew... fell in droves before the violent storm of metal.

The troop transport maintained high-speed maneuvers, weaving between the airport runway and the Tarmac.

The vehicle's firing Points were like mobile fortresses of death, leaving only chaos and fallen corpses in their wake.

The Japanese's two Infantry Battalions and their so-called elite Special Operations Team.

Were utterly bewildered by the sudden, mechanized lightning strike that completely surpassed their understanding.

Their familiar trench warfare, ambush tactics, and bayonet charges were rendered completely useless.

Unable to organize an effective counterattack, they could only passively endure the assault, being harvested like wheat.

Their formations rapidly collapsed under the tank's crushing advance and the troop transport's furious hail of bullets.

Inside the airport, flames shot into the sky as explosions, gunfire, engine roars, and the Japanese's screams blended into a chaotic symphony.

This small mechanized force under Lu Fan's command,

Was unleashing a crushing storm of destruction with absolute superiority in firepower and mobility.

The Kamikaze Special Agents, who were in the midst of completing a sneak attack, were all stunned at the sight of the steel monsters inside the airport!

What were those things? A massive tank they had never seen before!

"baka! What kind of monster is that? Mortar, fire quickly!" Takeshita Kinsaburo roared as he issued combat orders.

The Japanese of the Kamikaze Special Agents quickly set up their Mortar and had just finished test-firing to adjust their aim.

The Smoothbore Cannon let out a deafening roar.

The precise artillery strike was like the scythe of death, instantly blowing the Kamikaze Special Agents' Mortar squad sky-high.

Just kidding, with Ah Fu's assistance, if the Japanese were given a chance to fire a second shot,

Then, Old Li wouldn't be far from being out of a job.

Shrapnel and shockwaves swept through, and Takeshita Kinsabroy crawled up from the ground, covered in dust.

Seeing two troop transports flanking him from both sides, he decisively ordered a counterattack from behind the fortifications: "Saaage~"

"Old Li, what are you waiting for? Load the shell quickly." Lu Fan calmly ordered.

The tank, like an unstoppable steel behemoth, ignored the sporadic incoming bullets and crushed toward the sandbag fortifications.

The Coaxial Machine Gun and Turret Machine Gun spat deadly tongues of flame, sweeping away any target daring to show itself.

The Infantry Fighting Vehicles followed closely behind, unleashing full firepower to suppress the remaining enemies on both flanks.

The close-quarters combat and special operations skills the Kamikaze Special Agents prided themselves on.

Were rendered utterly useless against the lightning assault of the steel tide and the seamless firepower net woven by fully automatic weapons.

The Japanese elites were as fragile as paper.

All resistance was futile, all tactics would completely fail.

After all, there's no Japanese that can't be killed with one magazine; if there is, just use another.

The resistance of the Kamikaze Special Agents collapsed just as quickly as that of the ordinary Infantry Battalions.

As the unreasonable grenade saturation mode began, the Kamikaze Special Agents never managed to make a comeback.

"Boss, Takeshita Kinsaburo is locked in that two-story concrete building to the right front."

Ah Fu calmly provided intelligence support.

Lu Fan's eyes sharpened: "Old Li, lock onto the target! High-explosive Shell! Send him off!"

The turret rotated, the thick barrel steadily aimed at the building.

Boom~~

With a loud explosion, the entire two-story building was completely overturned in flames and dust.

"Old Li, fire another shot!" Lu Fan instructed, as Takeshita Kinsaburo was a formidable opponent who deserved due respect.

After routing the Kamikaze Special Agents, the resistance of the remaining Japanese at the airport completely crumbled.

The Friendly Forces on the periphery surged forward like a tide, launching a comprehensive encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese.

Seeing that the spark had already ignited a prairie fire, Lu Fan directed the tank and troop transports straight toward the Tarmac.

"Open fire freely! Targets: all aircraft! Fuel Depot! Control Tower!"

Tank cannons, Autocannons, Heavy Machine Guns, as well as the Explosive Packs and Molotov Cocktails carried by the Security Team Members.

All poured their destructive fury onto the neatly lined-up Japanese Bombers and Fighters on the Tarmac.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One expensive aircraft after another turned into burning scrap metal in the explosions.

The Fuel Depot erupted into towering flames after being hit, and the Control Tower collapsed under the artillery fire.

The entire Tianjin airport was engulfed in a sea of flames, completely paralyzed!

At this moment, Zhang Tingshu and Lu Fan got off the tank.

"Boss, I'll go search for any remaining Japanese and classified documents." Zhang Tingshu led an assault team into the airport's central hub.

Meanwhile, Lu Fan slipped alone into the Japanese Hangar.

How could one come to the Japanese airfield and leave empty-handed?

Japanese planes are still planes.

Besides, using Japanese planes to fight the Japanese would be quite a sight.

After a round, 12 Fighters, 5 Bombers, and their accessories filled Lu Fan's space to the brim.

"Retreat~~~" Before dawn, Lu Fan waved his hand, and the Security Team left the airport.

After this battle, with the cooperation of the Friendly Forces, they annihilated two Japanese Infantry Battalions and the Japanese Special Operations Team.

Additionally, they destroyed dozens of enemy aircraft, and the Fuel Depot and Control Tower were finished.

The Japanese airport was effectively crippled.

Such achievements avenged the Japanese encirclement of the Southern Camp.

At this moment, a series of notification sounds rang in Lu Fan's mind.

[Main Mission Two, completed. Reward: 20,000 Points, one Random Equipment Card]

[Mission completion rate 210%, evaluation: SS, reward 40,000 Points. One Random Gem Card, one Random Skill Card]

[Main Mission Three, completed. Reward: 20,000 Points, one Random Space Rune]

[Mission completion rate 100%, evaluation: A, reward 10,000 Points. One Random Supply Card]

He was prepared for completing Main Mission Two, but he never expected Main Mission Three to be completed.

No doubt, Bai Jinbiao couldn't resist the itch and started the Production Line.

He consoled himself inwardly: "So be it! Who starts it doesn't matter!"

Seeing the sudden gain of 90,000 Points and five Blind Box Cards, this added icing on the cake for Lu Fan's trip to Tianjin.

Opening the blind boxes one by one, the obtained items were displayed in his mind:

[Mini Communication Base Station] [Enhanced Crystal Core] [Micro-expression Specialization] [20m³ Rune] [1,000 tons of White Sugar]

After using what needed to be used and storing what needed to be collected, Lu Fan opened his character panel.

Closing the system page, Lu Fan's mind raced quickly, as a very thorny problem needed to be faced.
