Chapter 407: Planned Attack
The sea area of the Seamount Islands on the border of the South China Sea.
There are large and small islands scattered in this area, and the fishermen of Yizhou Island only use these islands as temporary havens or resting places.
Usually there are very few people here, and occasionally some young people from Yizhou Island will come to this island by boat to camp, and most of the time it is very peaceful here.
But today the sea is unusually lively, not because of how many ships are there, but because there are two fleets firing shells at each other.
Ships on both sides suffered casualties, and several boats floated on the surface of the sea and burst into flames.
There were also many corpses and sea creatures floating on the surface of the sea, none of which were structurally intact, and the area was almost stained red with blood.
But the fire on both sides did not stop because of so many corpses, and both sides were trying to shoot each other down at all costs.
The sea was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and even a few sharks that smelled blood were innocently blown to pieces by the shells.
Among them, one of the fleets was neatly arranged and attacked in an organized manner, which was none other than the southern warriors led by Bai Xiangming.
But helplessly, from the evenly matched just now, to the current defeat and retreat.
In fact, it's not because they lack combat effectiveness, the ships driven by those pirates are not the ships of the usual pirates, but the official fleet of the combat type!
Although these pirates are not as skilled as Bai Xiangming in operating this official fleet, behind the nearby islands, there are many fleets hidden, and reinforcements are constantly coming from behind.
There are several warships among them, which are obviously trained, coupled with a large number, which has caused Bai Xiangming's fleet to start to struggle a little, and if it continues to fight hard, it is likely that its side will suffer heavy losses.
But the fishermen on Yizhou Island are still in the hands of these people, Bai Xiangming wants to launch a retreat at this time, people like them who often crawl on the battlefield, and they are also vigorous in doing things.
But if they leave, they will anger these murderous pirates, and those fishermen will probably be more than lucky.
Moreover, these pirates, I don't know where to get the signal blocking device, their fleet can't contact the side of Yizhou Island at all.
So I had to take a risk, put down the lifeboat before the enemy formed an encirclement, and let a soldier go back to carry the rescuers.
Bai Xiangming stood at the top headquarters of the largest warship, where he could almost have a panoramic view of the sea area.
So he was able to clearly see that more and more enemy warships, from the rear of the islands, were constantly joining the battlefield.
Bai Xiangming narrowed his eyes angrily, it seemed that the other party had a plan, and he looked at the largest island in the distance, which was full of fishermen's boats.
From the binoculars, there was no sign of anyone on board, but the enemy should have detained the fishermen on the island.
Although Bai Xiangming had already guessed the location of the fishermen, there was still no smile on his face.
Because at this time, the enemy warships were already twice as large as them, and they were encircled.
If you don't get out, the loss of the battleship will be small, and I am afraid that these soldiers will die here for no reason.
Fortunately, he now has the position of the fisherman, as long as he goes back and plans carefully, the rescue mission will be much easier than now.
"All retreat!" Bai Xiangming picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order to the other fleets.
These fleets, having received the order, began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Bang!
A huge explosion exploded on the deck of the main battleship, and the hull shook violently, and those who were standing outside, a few who did not react, were directly thrown into the sea by the huge shaking.
A few sharks surrounded the boat, and the warriors who had been thrown overboard were dragged into the ocean before they could make a sound.
Everyone in the command room was also shocked by the sudden cannonballs, and those who had no kung fu foundation were even like a ball, shaken to the ground by the aftermath and rolled several times in a row.
Bai Xiangming held the console with his hand, only then did he barely stabilize his figure, he immediately looked in the direction where the cannonball came from, and found that his back road, I don't know when, had been surrounded by the enemy's fleet.
"It's not easy to do now!" Bai Xiangming said secretly in his heart.
Originally, he thought that this was just a group of pirates, but he didn't expect to encounter an official battle ship.
Although these pirates are not very good at handling, if a gun is clamped to a child's hand, as long as he can shoot bullets, the danger factor is still high.
"Commander, oh no! the engine of the main ship has been broken!" a soldier hurried in, holding on to the door frame to keep his balance as the main ship was still undulating.
Bai Xiangming's brows were so furrowed that he could twist into twists, he didn't expect the enemy's fleet to be so accurate, among so many warships, he found their main ship, and also shot them accurately.
"It seems that the other side is not a ragtag army of pirates, at least some official fighters are mixed in. Bai Xiangming squinted his eyes at this sea battlefield.
"Commander, why don't you take a lifeboat and escape to other warships!" the soldier looked at the scorching battle and shouted anxiously: "This battleship can no longer be launched, and can only become a live target for the enemy!"
Bai Xiangming smiled helplessly: "Go, where else can we go, since they are ambushing us in a planned way, they must have thought of all the countermeasures, and if they go out at this time, they will undoubtedly send them to death!"
Sure enough, those battleships that suddenly appeared from behind them began to encircle the warships in the south with the battleships in front of them!
"Commander, let's go out and fight them!" one of the warriors shouted indignantly.
Bai Xiangming frowned, if it was an ordinary pirate, they would indeed board the ship to fight, and the other party would not like to board the ship to fight, after all, if it is about firepower, the strength of the battleship is still much higher than that of the pirate ship.
But these enemy fleets were very experienced, like a well-trained fleet, and did not push them very closely, but kept a distance and did not give their side any chance of a surprise attack.
"No, it's better to find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement, the other party may not be a pirate, if you rashly force the boarding battle, the casualties will only be worse!" Bai Xiangming said sternly.
At present, the only way is to force a breakthrough of the encirclement to minimize casualties.
Since the enemy had planned to lure the southern warships here, he certainly did not intend to give them a chance to live.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to break out of the encirclement and have a glimmer of life!
