The Bravest

Chapter 222 Going to sea

"Captain Song, are all my things ready?" Liu Ruyan brought her men to find Song Qi who was directing the unloading.

"Secretary Liu, that's all. Please have someone move it over."

Song Qi naturally knew what Liu Ruyan was talking about. He had already changed the packaging of the medicine in the car. He casually pointed to a few torn sacks not far from his feet and asked Liu Ruyan to deal with it herself.

"Well, Xiao Wu, you move these to our boat."

……

After more than an hour of hard work, all five trucks of supplies were transferred to a motor sailboat. Lin Jie sent someone to drive the truck back and take Michiko and Song Qi's people on board.

"The machine gun is set up, and the sandbags are piled up firmly. Don't try to save trouble. They can save your life at the critical moment." Lin Jie checked everywhere. Sailing on a ship is different from sailing on land. If you lose the battle, you won't even have anywhere to run, so Lin Jie spent almost all his family assets.

"Brother, do you think this mortar can be fired accurately at sea?" Song Qi asked Lin Jie, pointing at a brother who was fiddling with a small-caliber mortar.

"Who knows? I've never fought him before, but it's good to scare people. If I'm lucky, I might hit him. Anyway, Gangcun is coming, so he can't expect me to return it to him."

"Hehe, big brother, this is really your style. It's just that there are not enough shells. Xiao Chen, you are not allowed to fire without orders. Don't use it to practice." Song Qi kicked Xiao Chen who was eager to try.

This guy had just learned how to use it this morning from a military policeman sent by Gang Village. He had never fired a live bullet, but he actually boasted to Lin Jie that he could hit whatever he pointed at, and he was eager to fire a few shots to show Lin Jie.

"Brother Song, let me tell you, I stuffed a cigarette into the Japanese guy who taught me, and coaxed him a few more words, and he even told me what kind of underwear his wife wears. Don't worry, I have learned it all, and the only thing left is to shoot with live ammunition."

Xiao Chen boasted so much that all the brothers around him laughed.

"Xiao Chen, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot accurately, just fire the shell out. Don't let it blow up on the boat. There are dozens of brothers here. Also, this is a cannon, not your wife. You don't have to hold her so tightly." Lin Jie also joked with his brothers to get them to relax a little.

"Hahaha..." The brothers, who were somewhat nervous because of Lin Jie's grand display, burst into laughter after hearing what Lin Jie said, and their expressions relaxed a lot.

"Okay, let's set off after we're ready. Everyone will get a bonus if we complete this mission." Lin Jie waved his hand, and the brothers who stayed on the shore untied the ropes, and the sailors on the cargo ship also pulled out the gangway.

Amid the boatman's loud calls, the cargo ship slowly left the dock and gradually merged into the night. Ten minutes later, in a motorboat docked at the dock, Liu Ruyan received Lin Jie's call from the walkie-talkie and also ordered the boat to start, following the cargo ship at a low speed.

The two ships were about one kilometer apart, one in front and one behind. Liu Ruyan could vaguely see the lights of the cargo ship in front through the telescope. Not far after the two ships went, another motorboat followed from a distance. Liu Yidao on it was talking to Lin Jie and Liu Ruyan in front using a walkie-talkie.

······

"Brother, there is a light ahead." Song Qi, who had been observing with a telescope at the bow of the ship, discovered the light on the sea and quickly ran into the warehouse to report to Lin Jie.

"I'll go out and take a look. The wind is strong on the sea, so you stay here first." Lin Jie pushed Michiko, who was leaning against him, a little away. Michiko is now not shy at all in front of others. In her words, everyone calls her the fourth concubine when it comes to the thing down there. What is there to be shy about?

"Well, call me if you need anything." Michiko was not being pretentious. She had nothing to do right now, so she didn't want to go outside to enjoy the sea breeze.

Since Lin Jie took in a young secretary, Michiko has paid more attention to maintaining her skin. Michiko can often feel Lin Jie's fascination with her unusually plump figure and milky skin. So Michiko also cares about maintaining her own advantages.

"Xiao Chen, why are you running out? We are still far away, why are you so nervous? Relax." Lin Jie saw Xiao Chen running out of the cabin holding his precious mortar, followed by a younger brother holding a wooden box. This was his deputy gunner who followed with the shells.

"Hey, big brother, if the fighting starts later, let me fire a couple of shots to try." Xiao Chen was not nervous at all. He was obviously extremely excited.

"Okay, let's go back. And Liuzi, right? This is a cannonball. Can you place it properly so it doesn't explode?"

Lin Jie waved his hand and drove the two artillerymen who had just learned for most of the day back. This was not a war, so was it necessary to take out the mortars at every turn? If I had known earlier, I should not have brought these two guys with me.

"Brother, go back and throw these two guys into the welfare home. It makes me nervous to see them walking around with artillery shells all the time." Song Qi was also joking. Lin Jie didn't know how he persuaded Gang Village to get a mortar. It was unimaginable that the Japanese were so generous.

"That's right. Put him in the welfare home and tell Gangcun to help him guard the warehouse. Anyway, I can't give him this mortar no matter what. Hahaha..." Lin Jie laughed proudly.

He just complained to Gangcun that he didn't feel safe on the boat and made a bunch of requests to Gangcun without thinking that Gangcun would agree to give him any support. Unexpectedly, Gangcun was in a good mood and lent him a mortar after Lin Jie's unreasonable demands. Lin Jie couldn't believe it at the time.

"Brother, look, the light seems to be moving towards us, and the speed is quite fast." Song Qi handed the telescope to Lin Jie and pointed in the opposite direction.

"Captain, how far are we from our destination now? We should be about there by now." Lin Jie held up a telescope and carefully observed the gradually brightening lights in the distance. They were obviously the navigation lights on the bow, proving that it was a fast-approaching ship.

"Chief, it's less than ten miles away. The boat coming over there should be a patrol boat. Ordinary ships can't have such a speed." The captain of the boat is an acquaintance of Lin Jie. He is also an old smuggler and is very familiar with the coastal areas of Shanghai.

"Song Qi, tell the brothers to be on guard. I'll call Secretary Liu and have her boat turn off the lights and slow down. It's best not to let the patrol boat spot her boat."

More than ten minutes later, a motorboat quickly arrived in front of the cargo ship where Lin Jie was, blocked the cargo ship's path, and shone a searchlight on Lin Jie's cargo ship.

"Stop the boat and let them come up for inspection. There's no need to hide, brothers." Lin Jie smiled slightly. There were only a few people on a patrol boat, yet they dared to be so arrogant.

The patrol boat waited until Lin Jie's cargo ship stopped before slowly approaching. When the two sides were more than ten meters apart, Lin Jie had someone remove the canvas from the heavy machine gun on the bow and shouted to the other side:

"Brother on the opposite side, which part are you from? Please report your identity immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
