There are three bridges and two sluices on the waterway leading from the warehouse to the sea, which are all key points to be guarded.

From the time the first shot was fired to the time they broke out of the Japanese encirclement in the warehouse, it took less than a minute, which can be said to be as fast as lightning.

However, the Japanese reacted quickly. They quickly got through to the garrisons and arranged for them to block the two speedboats.

Waibaidu Bridge.

The Japanese set up a traffic checkpoint at the head and tail of the bridge to check pedestrians and vehicles passing by, but they received an order to intercept the assault boats on the waterway.

This is a bit beyond the scope of business.

But this was an order from the gendarmerie headquarters, with the highest priority and urgency, so these devils had no choice but to bite the bullet and intercept the speedboats in the waterway.

Although there was no preparation in advance, in the eyes of these dozen Japanese soldiers, attacking from a high position and defeating from a low position would be easy, right?

It's just a small speedboat, so you must be able to handle it well.

So, more than 20 Japanese soldiers quickly built a temporary position in the middle of the bridge with sandbags, placed their crooked-handled assault boats on the sandbags, and waited for the arrival of the two speedboats.

It was already late at night, with only a few dim street lights on both sides of the street and the lights gradually lighting up in the concession in the distance.

Rumble.

From a distance, the Japanese on the Waibaidu Bridge heard the sound of the speedboat engine.

All the Japs pricked up their ears like dogs in an instant. The machine gunner had his hand on the trigger, ready to open fire as soon as he got close.

However, these devils made a wrong calculation.

Long before the Type 4 light machine gun's range was reached, the first four Gatling guns on the assault boat had already opened fire on the enemy without even aiming.

What are you aiming for? I have plenty of bullets. Just shoot. You will get it if you shoot.

Before the Japanese could react, a torrential rain of bullets had already hit them head-on, and in just a few seconds this makeshift position was destroyed.

Not only that, four Gatling guns swept back and forth along the bridge, thoroughly sweeping all places where the Japanese might have shooting positions with bullets.

The firepower position consisting of more than twenty Japanese soldiers and one machine gun was unable to stop the attack for even a second, and the two assault boats rushed right past.

It's just like that, it's crushing with ease.

The people in the concession far away witnessed all this and were extremely shocked. Is this still the Chinese army? How can they be so strong and domineering?

The Japanese soldiers originally stationed in Shanghai could be considered elite, but they were simply no match for this elite Chinese team.

How could some reporters working in the newspaper miss such a good opportunity? They took pictures of this rare exchange of fire from their balcony late at night.

The scene of two assault boats in the river and six Gatling guns rushing towards the Japanese blocking positions was extremely impactful.

Although they broke through two blockade lines of the Japanese invaders in succession and it seemed that everything was going smoothly, but successfully escaping was not as easy as the previous plan.

Because in such a short period of time, the Japanese have successfully built a blockade line, and their reaction speed is also amazing.

"Everyone, prepare to move forward at full speed. If the Japanese dare to stop us, we will charge straight ahead without any hesitation. Once we slow down, the Japanese will immediately surround and kill us."

The leading Brother Yun said to the team members who were operating the speedboat.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two speedboats, which were already extremely fast, accelerated again, creating two very distinct white water lines as they shot towards the sea.

Two bridges and a sluice were passed quickly in succession. The blocking strength of the other two bridges was not even as strong as that of the Waibaidu Bridge, and they were left far behind the speedboat without even a chance to fire a shot.

The real trouble was the sluice gate. If the speedboat had been a little slower, it would have been trapped inside.

"Brother Yun, there is another sluice gate ahead. We will be safe after passing through it. Now is high tide. After passing through this sluice gate, we will truly be on the sea."

The teammate who was operating the boat reminded.

"Okay, then let's go all out and break through him!"

Brother Yun cheered everyone up.

Although Brother Yun looked calm, he was actually nervous at this moment, because this last sluice gate was where the Japanese military supply ships were docked. The defense was very tight and the sluice gate was also very wide. If the Japanese closed it, there would be nothing they could do.

Judging from the Japs' previous reaction speed, it is still very possible.

Taking advantage of the brightening sky, Brother Yun carefully looked at the situation at the gate in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw from a distance that the gate was not closed.

Immediately, Brother Yun saw something that made his scalp tingle blocking the gate. It turned out to be two Japanese warships.

In the darkness, the two speedboats were like small shrimps meeting big fish compared to the two warships. This strong contrast was very powerful.

"Brother Yun, what should we do?"

The comrades on another speedboat shouted at Brother Yun.

The leader, Brother Yun, broke out in cold sweat. It would not be pleasant to be chased by these two guys. If they fired a shot at his two small speedboats, they would be blinded.

At this critical moment, he caught a glimpse of a medium-sized ship parked next to the two warships. The shape of the ship was a bit special. He had seen it once in Shanghai before, and he had specifically asked what the ship was used for.

Oil tanker!

It was a ship used by the Japanese to transport gasoline to supply military vehicles in Shanghai.

It really is true that there is always a way out!

Without any hesitation, Brother Yun turned the Gatling gun in his hand and started firing at the oil tanker. The other team members also cooperated very well.

Almost at the same time when Brother Yun opened fire, they simultaneously turned their guns and aimed at the oil tanker.

Six 6mm Gatling guns simultaneously fired at an oil tanker from a distance of more than 12.7 meters. Even if you use your toes to imagine, you know what will happen.

The oil tanker was pierced instantly and filled with gasoline, which began to spill all over the water.

Contrary to popular belief, gasoline itself is not easy to burn. Even if you throw a cigarette butt into an oil barrel, the gasoline will most likely not burn.

What actually burns is the mixture of gasoline vapor and air. As long as there is a small spark, it will burn or explode.

Therefore, even though a few people penetrated the Japanese oil tanker and gasoline leaked everywhere, there was no burning.
