Night falls.
As the largest international city in the Far East, Shanghai at this time already has a bit of the flavor of the "Oriental city that never sleeps".
Especially in the Bund area, various colorful flashing neon lights dazzle the international buildings lined with high-rise buildings on the west bank of the Huangpu River.
Even if you are several kilometers away, you can see the light soaring into the sky.
Such a prosperous scene cannot be compared to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, which is currently the most powerful country in East Asia.
There are still many cars and people walking through the streets at night. They have different faces and come from all over the world.
But at this moment, they are enjoying a life of luxury and wealth together in Shanghai, a seaside city in the Far East.
No one noticed that above their heads, a dark figure was flying across the tops of tall buildings at an inhuman speed and form.
More than ten minutes after leaving the Paramount Hotel, Lu Feng arrived near Baidu Bridge.
This is where the Suzhou River merges into the Huangpu River. It is considered a water network intersection. On weekdays, there are fishermen here fishing for shrimps and so on.
More importantly, there are some flat-bottomed sand boats gathering here, running some river transport business.
Even though it is already late at night, the place is not deserted. Many men with fierce looks are still coming and going here, and there are also some hard workers going back and forth between these ships and the shore, carrying goods.
Because it is close to Huangpu Pier, this area is also a major smuggling transfer station.
Most of Boss Du's smuggled goods are boarded from here, then transported up the Suzhou River to warehouses in the Hengfeng area.
The biggest advantage of this route is safety, because this section of Suzhou River is in the public concession area. As long as we have a good relationship with the concession, there will be basically no problems.
If you unload goods in the Wusongkou area, not to mention the national troops who are out hunting for wild food, the concession's own All Nations Chamber of Commerce troops will go out to make extra money.
Combating smuggling is justifiable and righteous. So when they do things, they do it with the same leeway as the White Tiger Killing Star.
Once you encounter them, you will only end up losing both your people and money.
Therefore, Boss Du would rather spend more money to build relationships rather than find a place to deliver goods outside the city just for temporary gain.
Lu Feng looked at the busy gangsters and ignored them. He just found a dark corner and sneaked into the water quietly.
Like a giant catfish, he put his body close to the bottom of the river and slowly swam towards the Japanese Navy dock at Huangpu Port.
In the dark night, no one noticed the movement underwater.
It's autumn, and the water in the Huangpu River is already a bit cool. Fortunately, this sealskin swimsuit can effectively keep the body warm.
In order to cope with this "Yayoi" operation, Lu Feng either made, purchased, or simply stole a lot of special equipment.
As for breathing oxygen, it was provided by Lu Feng's 60-liter homemade oxygen bag in the equipment slot.
Today, Shanghai Tang already has industrial oxygen production technology that specifically supplies the needs of some hospitals.
Lu Feng found an opportunity, got a sealed bag, and packed a bag back. If the current oxygen tank was not too heavy, he would just get on the oxygen tank.
This oxygen bag is enough to support Lu Feng's underwater activities for several hours. It is even more stress-free to sneak hundreds of meters from the bottom of the water like he is now.
After crawling on the bottom of the river for about ten minutes, Lu Feng quietly surfaced, only half of his head was exposed, and he found that he had arrived near the Japanese warship.
Before the searchlight swept over, Lu Feng identified the location of the Yayoi and dived underwater again.
As a naval port, the area around this pier has been cleared, and a large number of guard posts have been placed. There are even patrol boats patrolling the water from time to time.
In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese army, Lu Feng could only dive from a few hundred meters away and then touch all the way from the bottom of the water.
Soon, he arrived directly underneath the Yayoi.
Looking up from the bottom of the water, this warship, which is over a hundred meters long and nine meters wide, looks like a terrifying giant beast entrenched above its head.
Gives people a strong sense of oppression.
Lu Feng quietly floated to the waterline of the Yayoi, first observed it through the water, and then slowly emerged his head.
Sticking to the shadow side of the Yayoi, Lu Feng reached all the way to the stern, from where he could climb onto the warship with the help of a towing rope.
Much quieter than Lu Feng throwing the hook lock himself.
When Lu Feng was out of the water, he did not rush to climb up. Instead, he grabbed the towing rope with one hand and took out a towel from his pocket with the other hand to wipe all the water on his body.
Although the seal skin's grease layer has a good water-proof and thermal insulation effect, it will still be stained with moisture. If you don't wipe it dry, it will easily leave watermarks after you climb up.
After drying his body, Lu Feng blew in the cold air again. After feeling that it was almost done, he reached out and climbed onto the stern deck of the "Yayyo".
The entire warship seemed very quiet. Except for the light in the bridge command room in front, the rest of the ship was dark.
Sure enough, as Duan Haiping told himself in the information, the crew of the Yayoi entered the rotation period. At present, except for the dozen or so rotation personnel on the warship, the remaining crew members are on shore leave.
In fact, Lu Feng also had a detailed list of current personnel on duty on the Yayoi.
In this intelligence work, he is much better than Ding San.
There is no way, Ding San is just one person, and Duan Haiping is the entire Shanghai underground organization of the Red Party.
There is no comparison at all.
Not to mention that Ding San still had to avoid the eyes and ears of Lixingshe, so the difficulty of his work skyrocketed. Lu Feng is already very satisfied with his performance to achieve the same results as before.
This time Lu Feng came over because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one on board the Yayoi to inspect the destroyer on the spot.
See if there are any suitable hiding spots up there.
The stern of the ship was directly ignored by Lu Feng. According to the information on the drawing, this is where the canteen of the warship soldiers is located, and it is the area with the most frequent personnel activities.
The bow section is where the soldiers' rest area and ammunition compartment are located, and the cargo that needs to be transported should also be placed there.
In other words, that place will definitely be checked repeatedly before departure, and it is not easy to hide.
Therefore, the best location is only the middle and lower areas of the warship:
Engine room.
In Japan, it is well known that the Navy and the Army dislike each other. Calling each other "Red Deer" is just the most basic mockery.
For example, those who are more advanced will expose the other party's shortcomings more deeply.
For example, the Japanese Navy would call the Japanese Army the "Poor Red Deer".
Because the navy's weapons are much more expensive than the army's, usually the cost of one warship can exceed the total weapons and equipment of a wing of the army.
Including use and loss, post-maintenance, etc., the navy's military expenditure is several blocks ahead of the army.
The Japanese Army's response was that the Navy was a group of "bugs and red deer."
The reason is also very simple. With the current level of navigation technology, the living conditions on warships are not generally bad. Except for senior officers such as captains and first mates who have a slightly larger lounge, ordinary soldiers do not even have beds. None, so the only thing left was to use canvas hanging in the cabin as a bed.
In addition to housing, due to limited fresh water, the navy's conditions in terms of personal hygiene such as drinking water and washing can also make the listener sad and cry. Often, once out on the sea, there is a strange smell all over the body. return.
This is why the Navy usually gives soldiers a holiday before taking action.
If they don't vent in advance, the soldiers' psychological quality will be severely tested if they stay at sea for a long time.
However, although everyone on the warship is not doing well, there are still differences between the three, six and nine.
The top level is naturally occupied by officers such as captains. Not only do they have their own rest room, equipped with a separate bathroom, they even have a special supply of vegetables.
And those at the bottom are those in the engine room.
The engine room can be said to be the place with the worst conditions on the entire warship. It is narrow and cramped and filled with various pipelines.
As soon as the warship starts moving and the huge engine starts running, the engine room will be filled with deafening roars. Coupled with the high temperature emitted by the engine operation, it is not fair to call the engine room a place unsuitable for human survival. Pass.
This is still the situation after modern warships are generally converted to diesel power and improved.
In the steam power era decades ago, the engine room would have been a penal colony, and the personnel operating there were basically felons recruited from prison.
Because often after a battle, not even two soldiers outside were killed. The operators in the engine room were either suffocated by suffocation or burned by high temperature, so most of them were reduced.
Therefore, the operators assigned to the engine room are basically low-level people on a warship.
Red deer among red deer.
