160: Cross the Huangpu River and give him a good shot.
In the empty warehouse of the Dye Factory, six hundred Security Team Members had finished assembling, silent as the grave.
Only the slight sound of equipment rubbing and heavy breathing could be heard.
The fully armed Security Team was filled with a murderous aura.
With Lu Fan's arrival,
Ah Fu, Li Zhenshan, and Bai Jinbiao immediately stepped forward to meet him.
"Boss~~"
Lu Fan nodded, and without any redundant words, directly ordered: "Set out~~"
At 12:35 AM, the banks of the Huangpu River were silent, with only the subtle sound of the river water lapping against the shore.
The Security Team silently arrived at the designated attack position: on the flood embankment opposite Huishan Wharf.
Under the cover of night, the team members moved swiftly to line up a hundred Type 55 120mm mortars.
The dark muzzles pointed menacingly toward the flickering lights of Huishan Wharf on the opposite bank.
That was an important material transit hub for the Japs, as well as a landing site for their troops.
Destroying this place would cause great inconvenience to the Japs.
"980 meters straight ahead, three rounds rapid fire! Fire!"
Guided by Ah Fu's precise information, the newly appointed Vice Captain Bai Jinbiao decisively gave the command.
In an instant, the dull and powerful sound of firing shattered the silence of the night!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!"
The continuous roar of shells leaving the barrels made the ground tremble slightly.
Immediately after, the Huishan Wharf area on the opposite bank was completely covered by a succession of violent explosions and soaring flames.
"Rumble~~~"
The sound of massive explosions rolled across the river surface.
Warehouses, storage yards, and fortifications on the wharf were torn apart and crushed like paper toys under the intense artillery fire.
The Japs, who were in the middle of their dreams and completely defenseless, were sent to meet their Amaterasu Goddess.
The saturated bombardment lasted for a full ten minutes.
The wharf on the opposite bank was completely turned into a sea of fire, the flames reflecting half the sky in an orange-red hue.
As soon as the shelling stopped, Lu Fan immediately ordered: "Everyone, move out immediately!"
The well-trained members immediately began a forced march northeast along the river embankment.
On the way, the newly joined members couldn't contain their excitement and began to talk in low voices.
"Good God! This is just too thrilling!"
"This firepower is so fierce! It's enough to give those little Japs a real headache!"
"Awesome~~ Plenty of shells, it's so damn awesome~~"
"Exactly, exactly~~ I've been fighting for half my life and I've never felt this good!"
"The little Japs must be dazed from the bombing right now."
"More than just dazed, look at the other side, it's almost been plowed over. If nothing went wrong, the Japs have already drunk Meng Po's soup."
"You're telling me! A hundred cannons firing at once... this spectacle is just too incredible!"
"Fighting alongside the Boss is just great. I'm sticking with the Boss for the rest of my life!"
"Haha~~ Boss, I love you!"
"So satisfying~~ Truly satisfying! I never thought the day would come when the little Japs would be suppressed by our fire so much they couldn't even lift their heads."
"My life is worth it now; that grudge from September 18th has finally been vented!"
Compared to the new members' shocked and cheerful discussions, the veteran members appeared much more calm.
"It's just a drop in the bucket, this is nothing... Remember this~~ it's called 'washing the ground with shells' when you're rich."
"Pay attention, don't let your hands shake when loading... don't feel bad about the shells, there are plenty of them!"
"This is basic operation, don't make a fuss. Watch the formation and keep up!"
"Getting this excited after firing just a few shells, stay calm~~"
"Exactly, we'll be seeing scenes like this every day from now on... if you're all this excited, how are we supposed to fight?"
"Be men and have a bigger perspective. Remember~~ washing the ground with shells is our standard tactic!"
The veteran members grinned, and when a few outspoken ones opened their mouths, they were full of humblebragging.
Fifteen minutes later, the group had sprinted twenty li and entered a reed marsh to stop and rest.
Just as everyone caught their breath, sharp whistling sounds pierced the night sky.
"Whiz—Boom~~~~ Whiz—Boom~~~~"
A large number of shells slammed into the position they had just occupied, kicking up dirt and smoke.
The Japs' retaliatory fire arrived as expected, but unfortunately, it hit nothing but air.
Listening to the explosions in the distance, the team members all showed smiles of relief and mockery.
Meanwhile, Li Zhenshan, who was sitting to one side, quietly approached Ah Fu, handed him some chocolate, and asked amiably, "Brother Fu~~"
"Can you tell where the Japs' position is? I want to find a way to give them a blast."
Hearing this, a blue light lit up in Ah Fu's eyes. After staring across the river for a long time, he said helplessly, "Brother Shan, I want to hit them too."
"But judging by the trajectory, the Japs' position is at least ten kilometers away from us. Our mortars can't reach it!"
"If they can't reach, then find a way. We can't let a small hurdle stop us, right?"
Li Zhenshan muttered and began to measure against the river surface with his thumb.
Within ten minutes, his eyes were glowing as he looked at Lu Fan and requested, "Boss, the river is at most 700 meters wide."
"How about we cross the Huangpu River and give them a blast?"
Lu Fan originally thought this joke of a suggestion was just talk, but to his surprise, it received unanimous support from everyone.
"Boss~~~ Let's swim over and do a job on them!"
"Boss, it's only a few hundred meters. I can make it in a few dives. Let's do it!"
"Boss, let's cross the Huangpu River and do a job on them!"
"Exactly, we can wade through this little ditch in minutes. Give them a blast."
"Boss, we've all passed swimming tests, and our swimming skills are up to par. Let's do it!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan looked calmly into the distance: "Then we cross the river and do a job on them!"
Saying this, Lu Fan walked to an open space by the river and activated the Bionic Flight Suit once again.
The powerful engine emitted a low hum.
He took out several high-strength ropes and firmly fixed one end to the external mounting points of the flight suit,
while throwing the other ends to key team members like Li Zhenshan and Bai Jinbiao.
"Everyone space out by one meter and use the hooks on your bulletproof vests to secure yourselves to the ropes," Lu Fan commanded.
Although the team members were shocked, they executed Lu Fan's orders without hesitation.
Soon, a "candied hawthorn" string of six hundred people was formed.
"Hold on tight!"
After everyone entered the water, Lu Fan picked up Ah Fu, and the flight suit went to full power.
A powerful pulling force immediately acted upon the human string.
In this manner, dragging the team of six hundred, they directly crossed the wide Huangpu River in a startling fashion.
In just a few minutes, the entire team successfully reached the opposite bank.
Upon landing, without needing many orders, the team members quickly finished assembling.
"Attention, we have entered enemy-occupied territory. Advance stealthily~~"
With Lu Fan's command, the 600 men turned into cheetahs in the shadows, heading straight for the target silently.
Their goal was clear: to give them a blast!
Half an hour later, the Security Team once again employed the tactic of washing the ground with shells.
The beautiful percussion of the strike unfolded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Rumble~~~~"
Like a divine punishment, it instantly covered the Japs' artillery position.
The stacked ammunition detonated, the cannons were blown into pieces, and the artillerymen were swallowed by a sea of fire before they could even react.
The saturated strike lasted for five minutes until Ah Fu confirmed that there were no signs of life in the target area.
As the new day began, the Security Team delivered a series of heavy blows to the invading Japs.
Lu Fan ordered expressionlessly: "Pack up the equipment. Next stop~~"
