Chapter 244 Cargo Ship Ramming
The island is basically an oval shape. The length of the east and west is more than 1,000 meters. The north-south span is only a few hundred meters.
On the vast sea at night, it is easy for a small boat a few kilometers away to miss the shore and not know where to drift.
Soon, a neon sign that could pierce through the fog was erected at the top of the mountain.
Flickering lights.
In order to prevent the submarine from aiming at the island and firing missiles, after installing the indicator lights, Lu Ming and the others quickly withdrew to the mountains.
Another two hours passed.
Elizabeth and their boat sailed back.
On board, in addition to the eight pirates, there was also Louis, who was seriously wounded.
"Everyone is finished!" Louis cried as soon as he saw Lu Ming.
"Mr. Christian, quickly bandage his wound!" Lu Ming hurriedly called the doctor and carried Louis to the operating table.
"Everyone's doneβ" Louis cried out in a miserable voice, as he seemed to have been hit hard, in a trance.
"Give him a tranquilizer. He needs to calm down. Christian shouted to the nurse as she was busy examining Louis's wounds.
"Elizabeth, what the hell is going on?" Lu Ming asked Elizabeth while Christian was treating Louis's injuries.
The pirate queen was soaking wet and cursing through gritted teeth.
"When we got to that area, we only found one alive, and the other natives were blown to pieces!"
"Help!" Amir found the dinghy being grabbed by a pair of hands, and Louis, covered in wounds, showed his head in the waves, crying out faintly.
They got Louis up and got the news of the failure of the operation from him.
It turned out that the people on the submarine had long been wary of sabotage at night and set up sentry posts on the bridge.
When Louis approached the submarine, he was immediately spotted by the people on the submarine.
They were in the water and wanted to force the ship.
But there are three frogmen around, and it's a moment of crisis. Luis pulled off the explosive pack, but the shockwave pushed him out to the surface.
The other five of the six were alive and Louis would never come.
"Mr. Lu, the submarine seems to have been damaged, otherwise, they should have driven back for repairs instead of waiting here. After observing for a few hours, Johnson reported it to Lu Ming at dawn the next day.
"Hmm. I know. Lu Ming nodded.
The submarine did not stay away at night and did not attack, but only stopped far beyond the range of artillery fire.
"We have to find a way to kill this submarine before the rescue ship arrives!" Lu Ming muttered secretly.
Just when Lu Ming had nothing to do, the arrival of a ship made Lu Ming's eyes light up.
It was the wide, fat cargo ship that Bruce was driving.
With Bruce's big ship, they can leave the island.
When Bruce docked at the harbor in a dinghy, he couldn't wait to jump off.
"Mr. Lu, the boss asked me to take you to a safe place. β
He had already seen the huge crater in the sand, and it was clear that the island had been attacked.
"Bruce, how deep is the draft of your ship?" Lu Ming did not answer his words, but asked directly.
"When fully loaded, it's seven meters. However, now my boat is semi-empty. Bruce looked at Lu Ming in surprise, not knowing why he asked like this.
"Immediately pump water into the cabin and bring the boat to full load. In addition, only the pilot and chief engineer were left behind, and all the redundant crew members were evacuated to the island. β
"Why? Don't you want to get out of here?"
"Bruce, I'm going to sink it with your ship now!"
"But it's a submarine, and we can't catch up with it!"
"Listen to my orders!" Lu Ming said undoubtedly
"Yes, sir!" Bruce didn't know if the idea would work, but he still resolutely carried out Lu Ming's order.
In order to ensure success in one fell swoop, Lu Ming personally came to the cargo ship to command.
"There are missiles on the submarine, probably you haven't gotten close yet, the boat has already been sunk. Johnson was a little scared.
"Hmph, if the submarine could still fire missiles, I'm afraid they would have sunk this ship a long time ago. β
He was convinced that last night's sneak attack had destroyed the missile launch system on the submarine.
The cargo ship let out another terrible whistle and slowly drove away from the port.
However, the ship did not leave the island far. Instead, he followed the oil trail left by the submarine around the island.
"There's that ship!" said Bruce, who was standing at the back of the ship and steering the bridge, pointing to the sea in the distance.
Lu Ming also saw the submarine.
From the aperture of the telescope, armed soldiers can be seen running on the wide back of the submarine.
At this time, a warning was received on the ship's radio.
"We are submarine XX and are on a secret mission. Please take refuge in the safe sea!"
Bruce turned his head to look at Lu Ming.
"Ignore them. Lu Mingtie ignored it.
"Full speed ahead!" Bruce issued an order to the engine room.
The people inside the submarine were also aware of the freighter's intentions.
They no longer warned, and could not even wait for the people on the bridge to return to the boat, so they started the machine and headed out to sea.
"They ran away!" Bruce didn't expect his ship to scare a submarine away.
"Chase, don't let them escape!" Lu Ming waved his fist and commanded everyone.
"Tom-" At this moment, the soldiers who remained on the bridge suddenly fired a cannonball with a shoulder-resistant missile.
With a fire-breathing tail snaking towards the cab.
And exploded on the roof of the upper floor of the cab.
"The ship is on fire!" a crew member panicked and ran to the cockpit.
"Don't care, sink it for me!" Lu Ming shouted loudly.
The long and narrow submarine hastened to dive when it realized that the cargo ship was desperately ramming.
However, it can't dive faster than a cargo ship can track.
"Crunch-" A toothache of metal grinding came from the bow of the ship.
The heavy bow was lifted high by the height of the boat.
And because of the weight of the cargo ship, the submarine was crushed alive.
"Boom-" With a violent tremor, the cargo ship shook violently.
Violent explosions followed.
As the hull of the submarine was damaged and crushed, seawater poured into the interior of the submarine, triggering the explosion of the submarine.
The cargo ship also fell crookedly into the sea. From the side of the ship, it can be seen that a large hole in the bow of the cargo ship has been blown out of the bow of the cargo ship with a diameter of more than one meter. The sea is rushing into the cabin.
"We must go back! or the ship will sink!" Bruce shouted anxiously, trying to control the ship toward the docks on the island.
Lu Ming rushed out of the wheelhouse, crouched on the side of the boat and watched for a while, and saw that the sea was covered with oil splashes and a large number of living debris.
The submarine was completely wiped out, and only then did he take a long breath.
He clenched his fists and slammed them against the bar.
Despite Bruce's best efforts, the ship ran aground near the harbor, and the large amount of water caused the ship to plummet in front of the beach.
When Lu Ming got off the boat, the people on the island all looked at this man with a gloomy face.
"Victory!" Elizabeth was the first to scream excitedly.
Then everyone began to cheer.
They felt a strong strength and bloodiness from Lu Ming!
Even Jon and his gang looked at Lu Ming excitedly.
In the mountains, Bruce was eating wolf-eating, and on the other hand, he told Lu Ming about Cheng Feng.
Because his power expanded too quickly, he attracted the attention of a certain big force.
In order to eliminate Cheng Feng, this mysterious big man used his own resources.
The foundations that Cheng Feng has laid around the world have been uprooted.
His fleet was also denied entry into port, or simply detained.
In this case, Cheng Feng handed over the Hades to Elizabeth, and he found Ju Yike on a yacht.
Mike soon learned of Cheng Feng's arrival.
When he saw Ju Yike's resolute gaze, he despaired.
He finally gave up his pursuit of Ju Yike.
Although Mike is a bit mixed, his character is quite kind.
Cheng Feng's forces have been destroyed, and after this storm, they are trying to restore those strongholds.
Cheng Feng learned from them that a submarine was tracking the Hades, and at the behest of a mysterious person, was preparing to search the island.
So he uses the communication device provided by Mike to alert Elizabeth.
Just in case, Cheng Feng sent Bruce to pick him up.
But since the Hades did not get rid of the submarine, the previous scene happened.
They are still trapped on this small island.
And the warships and planes that rescued the submarine are rushing here.
"Everyone be prepared for a long-term battle! Without a ship, we can't leave here!" Lu Ming also knew that after listening to Bruce's words, he also knew that Ju was not optimistic.
Bruce's ship has more than 20 experienced sailors who are loyal to Cheng Feng.
Lu Ming divided Bruce and his crew into a group as well.
Let Bruce be the team leader. Fight in tandem with four other groups.
"We unloaded everything that could be used on the cargo ship as soon as possible and brought it into the mountains as a strategic reserve. In addition, water is our most difficult shortcoming. We need to collect as much fresh water as possible and store it. Lu Ming instructed everyone to act immediately.
"Let's hurry up and let the storm come!, let's wait!" Lu Ming looked at the busy crowd and secretly made up his mind.
The expected enemy appeared early the next morning.
First, several planes flew low over the sea near the island.
When they determined that the submarine had been wrecked near the island, a fleet of two warships and a logistical supply ship sailed in.
With the exception of two observation posts set up in hidden locations on the island, the rest of the island took refuge in the mountains.
The warships fired a dozen shells first, completely destroying the cargo ships docked in the harbor.
Lu Ming could see from Johnson's wandering eyes that he was ready to find an opportunity to escape.
"Don't be nervous, everybody. The more this happens, the more careless they become. As long as they dodge their shelling and air strikes, those soldiers will not have much advantage. Lu Ming said encouragingly.
