Chapter 622: A Pirate Attacking Suddenly
Chapter 622: A Pirate Attacking Suddenly
At 1:38 am on August 23, Kyoto time, and at 20:38 pm Nomon time.
Located in a piece of sea at the junction of the western part of the Gulf of Yading and the Red Sea, a 10,000-ton freighter flying the flag of a florist was sailing northeast at a speed of 15 knots.
The moonlight is like frost.
The brightly lit freighter looks extremely quiet and peaceful on the sparkling sea.
At this moment, five small speedboats with their engines turned off were quietly approaching the freighter.
Each of these five speedboats carried 5-6 dark-skinned, thin black men. They either held AK47s or carried rocket launchers on their shoulders, staring nervously at the approaching giant.
They are pirate gangs from Somalia.
Some time ago, it was these guys who were responsible for the shooting and killing of 16 crew members of the freighter in China.
At that time, the pirates wanted to forcibly board the ship, but the Malay country crew refused to stop them with high-pressure water guns and throwing heavy objects. One pirate was hit by a heavy object, and his brain burst and died.
This aroused the viciousness of the pirates.
After taking control of the freighter, they began a brutal massacre. All sixteen crew members and the captain's son under the age of fourteen were shot dead after torture, and their bodies were thrown into the sea.
However, perhaps under the protection of the Sea God, the boy who was wounded and suspended animation was found and rescued by a cargo ship from Qin State after drifting at sea for more than ten hours.
The boy's vitality is extremely tenacious.
On the ship, he only underwent a simple bandage and took some antibiotics, and survived a long 20 hours. When the cargo ship docked at a certain port in Qin State, the boy was sent to a local hospital. The boy regained consciousness a week later.
Until then, the Yading Bay tragedy was known to the world.
The Malay country sent several search and rescue ships. With the cooperation of a certain country's maritime satellite, two days later, the cargo ship that had been drifting for more than ten days was found in a certain non-channel waters in the Gulf of Jardin.
The boat was in a mess, empty, and the blood in the cabin turned black and purple.
All the valuable goods on the cargo ship were unloaded by pirates, and the country suffered heavy losses. For this reason, the country issued a red notice to the world through Interpol to arrest these cruel pirates.
Regardless of life or death, each pirate is 100,000 US dollars.
With the disclosure of more details, the massacre in the Gulf of Yading caused an uproar in the world's public opinion. Under the guise of benevolent rights, a proposal submitted by a major country to the United Nations to crack down on pirates was vetoed.
In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, all countries have increased their escort efforts in the Gulf of Jardin.
Under the pressure of world public opinion, countries around the Gulf of Jardin stepped up their efforts to investigate and deal with piracy, and the pirate gang who made the cargo ship tragedy had to disperse and hide under the pressure of the arrest warrant. Reading La
After more than ten months, they felt that the rumors were not so tight, so they got together again and planned to make another big ticket, then stop and go to Ouzhou to live a good life.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, they drove five speedboats to sea.
After wandering around a certain waterway for five or six hours, they didn't see a single freighter. They had to return until the oil in the spare oil barrel was almost bottomed out.
As night fell, their luck came.
On the way back, when they were less than 20 kilometers away from the small island where they started, they found a 10,000-ton container ship sailing northeastward without any haste.
A single freighter.
They were immediately excited.
The pirate chief decided to do it.
They turned off the lights on the speedboat and drove towards the freighter with full horsepower. When they were more than a hundred meters away from the freighter, in order not to let the freighter hear the sound of the engine, they turned off the engine and rowed with their hands to face the freighter. Row.
...
When the five pirate speedboats were two kilometers away from the freighter, Bai Feng, who was waiting in the cockpit of the freighter, discovered the five suspected pirate boats.
right.
This large ship is a 10,000-ton container ship carrying goods worth US$170 million from Yip's Huangang International Trading Company.
Yu Wubin and Bai Feng's eight-member assault team boarded the freighter two days ago.
It was an unpainted helicopter that brought them here.
After two days of getting familiar with the environment, the eight-member team already knew all parts of the freighter like the back of their hands.
Since the radar of the freighter is not up to the military standard, it is very difficult to spot a speedboat several meters long in the vast sea, so Yu Wubin arranged for a special person to observe the sea surface 24 hours a day in the cockpit.
At this time, Baifeng was on duty.
"All attention, all attention, pirate ship found, pirate ship found, all team members assemble in the cockpit, assemble in the cockpit."
Bai Feng used the walkie-talkie to call other members of the team.
Yu Wubin, who was resting in the cabin, appeared in the cockpit in only three minutes.
In addition to the black body armor on their bodies and the black spears in their hands, each of them has a huge night vision goggle on their heads.
Yu Wubin took the high-power infrared telescope from Baifeng's hand, and observed the sea ahead for two minutes. After putting down the telescope, he said to the captain who was trembling at the wheel: "Old Zhang, don't be nervous, drive normally, don't let the pirates see We found them." Read the book
Under normal circumstances, when a freighter finds pirates, it will change direction or speed up.
When the pirate speedboat approaches, it will also flick its tail, making it difficult for pirates to climb. It is dangerous to use water guns or use cold weapons on the side of the boat to stop them. After all, the crew does not have hot weapons, and they may be shot by angry pirates at any time middle.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about the captain, I will drive at the same speed, but you have to be careful, these pirates have bazookas, because of this, many ships have to give up resistance." Captain Zhang Baogui said.
Although Yu Wubin and the others were there, he was still very nervous.
When Yu Wubin and the others boarded the ship, the helicopter unloaded several large boxes, but he didn't know what was inside, and what Yu Wubin and the others usually carried on their bodies were standard assault rifles, not weapons of mass destruction.
Yu Wubin smiled.
He didn't pay attention to these twenty or thirty crooked melons and cracked dates.
He was only cautious in order not to cause damage to the cargo ship. Besides, the mission given to him by the boss was to wipe out all the pirates, and not a single pirate could slip through the net.
Long-distance strikes will disturb the pirates. If the speedboat speeds up and flees, the freighter will not be able to catch up with them, and the waves on the sea will also make the sniper lose its aim. It is inevitable that some pirates will slip through the net. Only by shooting them close can they be wiped out.
Next, Yu Wubin divided the eight people into two groups, two sniper rifles and two assault rifles, guarding the left and right sides of the ship.
"Let them get closer to within 50 meters. The snipers will kill the pirates with heavy weapons first, and not allow a rocket to fall on the freighter. Can it be done?"
"can."
Seven people replied in unison.
The boss of the boat was taken aback.
At this moment, he wasn't nervous anymore, he only now realized that these guys who boarded the ship in the name of the security company had the style and temperament of a 'jun' person.
"They can't really be 'Jun' people?" he thought.
