The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 3 Lin Fan's First Assassination

Lin Fan led the newly subdued company to inspect the entire Sihang Warehouse.

This was a team completely devoid of cohesion, forced together by brute force.

Lin Fan had to be careful at all times, guarding against attacks from behind.

As he leaned out from the fifth floor to look down, Feng Junya, less than five steps behind him, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, his right hand tightly gripping the dagger at his waist.

He stared intently at Lin Fan's back, as if he could bore a hole right through it with his gaze.

On the previous floors, Lin Fan had only taken a quick glance before continuing upwards.

The position he was standing in now was particularly advantageous: from here, he could see everything on floors one through four.

It was like an atrium!

Only, the railing looked very fragile.

Just now, when Lin Fan put his hand on it, the part that formed the railing wobbled, as if it couldn't bear his weight.

It scared Lin Fan so much that he could only stand on the side to observe the terrain, not daring to lean on the railing at all.

If only...

Feng Junya thought to himself, finally unable to restrain himself.

He wasn't single-mindedly seeking revenge for the man Lin Fan had shot dead earlier.

In fact, he didn't even know the man.

Feng Junya simply didn't want anyone controlling him.

That was all! Why should some kid just come along and become the head of these people?

Feng Junya's footsteps were heavy as he rushed forward, his entire body exploding with power.

The original five steps were covered in three.

He didn't draw the dagger from his waist.

But as he approached Lin Fan's back, he shifted his body and slammed his shoulder hard.

*Tieshankao* (Iron Mountain Lean)!

That was all there was to it.

The soldiers behind Feng Junya saw the burly man suddenly rush out and his movements.

In this era, human life was cheap, who didn't know what was about to happen?

The company commander, completely unprepared, was about to fall from the high fifth floor.

This company commander, who hadn't even held the position for an hour, was about to meet King Yama!

The exclamations of these people finally burst out.

But it wasn't Lin Fan who fell.

It was Feng Junya!

He rushed behind the company commander, concentrating all his strength in his shoulder, a *tieshankao*, forceful enough to shake mountains and rivers.

The first half of Feng Junya's plan went off without a hitch: he rushed to within half a step of Lin Fan's back, and the company commander didn't even move.

The second half of the plan: was completely out of Feng Junya's control.

Just as Feng Junya's shoulder was about to hit the company commander's back, the company commander acted as if he didn't know anything.

He naturally pointed to the entrance on the ground floor and said, "This position isn't very good..."

Then he took a step to the side, perfectly avoiding Feng Junya's full-strength collision.

Then, the company commander's next words reached Feng Junya's ears: "This spot is much better."

Lin Fan and everyone on the fifth floor watched as Feng Junya rushed past the edge and broke through the railing.

Rushing into the air.

In desperation, Feng Junya reached out and grabbed the railing.

But the railing disappointed him greatly: it broke as soon as he pulled it, showing no respect at all.

A look of fear appeared in Feng Junya's eyes, and he shouted loudly, "Ah!"

His shout was even louder than the combined shouts of the soldiers who had seen him launch his attack.

When Chen Sichuan, who was on guard on the ground floor, looked up.

He only saw a small figure hanging from the upper floors, swaying.

After Feng Junya reached out and broke the railing, Lin Fan quickly reached out and grabbed the broken railing.

Feng Junya, at the other end of the railing, fell straight down less than a foot, and his other hand also grabbed this life-saving piece of wood.

His eyes were full of pleading: "Save me!"

Lin Fan smiled gently: "You are my comrade-in-arms, a comrade-in-arms I can entrust my back to, a comrade-in-arms I can give my life to, of course I have to save you."

He also stretched out his left hand and grabbed Feng Junya's left wrist, using both hands to pull upwards at the same time.

Feng Junya, who weighed at least one hundred and fifty *jin* (75kg), was pulled by him, his head rising from the level of the fifth-floor slab, and his waist dagger was immediately revealed.

Feng Junya's right foot finally knelt on the fifth-floor slab.

At this time, he was able to lean his body towards everyone, letting go of the wooden railing that had just saved his life.

Supporting himself on the ground, his left foot also went from hanging in the air to kneeling on the ground.

Now he was completely kneeling in front of everyone in Lin Fan's newly formed Anti-Japanese Special Operations Company.

Like an apology!

After he stood up and took two steps back with lingering fear, steadying himself.

Lin Fan then said unhurriedly, "You assassinated me once just now, and I saved your life, you still have one chance to kill me.

If you can't kill me next time, I'll kill you!"

When Feng Junya was hanging in the air, he was still thinking whether Lin Fan knew that he had just had the intention to kill him.

He probably didn't know that he wanted to kill him just now!

Otherwise, why would he have saved him?

Now that he heard the company commander's words, he realized that the company commander knew very well.

He was so scared that he quickly said, "Company Commander, I don't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore.

We didn't have any grudges in the first place. I will never forget your life-saving grace!"

Lin Fan looked at his soldiers, especially those who were dissatisfied with him.

After this incident, those people's eyes flickered.

None of them dared to meet his gaze.

It was clear that they were also beginning to hesitate.

When Feng Junya made his move just now, these people also saw it: it was indeed a good opportunity.

With just a light push, the company commander would fall.

It was just very unfortunate that, at the last moment, the company commander took a step as if guided by a god, and the offense and defense immediately switched positions.

Lin Fan pointed to the position where he was standing: "Set up a sentry here to observe the entrance!"

After inspecting the interior of the Sihang Warehouse, Lin Fan led his subordinates, more than a hundred people, to carefully look around the Sihang Warehouse.

Looking at the Suzhou River Iron Bridge adjacent to the Sihang, the other end of the Iron Bridge was the entrance to the concession.

Lin Fan pointed to the iron bridge and said, "Pile up sandbags along this bridge and the warehouse, to ensure that we can pass through the sandbag cover and successfully enter the concession!"

As soon as this order was issued, these deserters, who had been lazy for many days, immediately became unwilling.

Lin Fan explained coldly: "Think about it, this is still the rear now, but when this place becomes the front line, in case the British allow us to enter the concession.

How can we pass through such a road without cover?

Dying on the road to the concession would be more unjust than anything else."

Zhen Danxiao asked boldly, "Company Commander! Do we really have a chance to get in?"

Lin Fan said carelessly, "Listen to me, you can't go wrong. I also came from the river."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was relieved.

When Lin Fan established his authority just now, he was still wet, which everyone had seen.

It's just that everyone was relieved that the company commander also wanted to enter the concession!

No sooner said than done!

The entire Sihang Warehouse used to be the command headquarters of the 88th Division, and there were many materials stored here.

The British soldiers on the opposite side of the concession, and the idlers walking on the street, watched the soldiers on the opposite bank nervously loading sandbags and building a fortification along the Sihang Warehouse to the iron bridge.

At this time, Lin Fan had a new understanding of the exterior of the entire Sihang Warehouse.

This warehouse was very strong. The entire warehouse only had doors and windows facing the Suzhou River.

The doors in and out were made of thick steel plates.

The entire building frame was made of reinforced concrete.

The walls were all made of granite blocks, how much money did this cost!

But it was indeed strong.

There was also a basement underneath, which was also made of granite blocks.

What kind of warehouse was this?

It was completely a fortress.

The more carefully Lin Fan looked at this warehouse, the more he admired Division Commander Sun Yuanliang for being able to choose such a fortress to defend in such a large place as Shanghai.

Such vision was truly remarkable!

Division Commander Sun, whom Lin Fan admired, was now issuing orders to Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu, who was stationed at the Zhabei Railway Station: "Withdraw from the position at 6:00 PM on the 26th and move to the Sihang Warehouse."
