Chapter 241: A Cannon
At this time, there were only a dozen large vats filled with fresh water in the cave. It was intended to be used to supply the ship after the arrival of the cargo ship. When building the cave, Charlie used these large buckets of water. It is used to dust and drink for the builders.
Compared with the panicked evacuees in the cave, Lu Ming was more sober and calm.
He knew that this time the island was really facing a fierce enemy.
Although he has nearly ten mercenaries to command, if he wants to use these few limited soldiers to fight a tactical submarine, he has no intention of hitting a stone with an egg.
The battery at the top of the hill has been blown to pieces.
It seems that the submarine did not want to waste expensive missiles on this island. After destroying the battery, the attack on targets on the island was not continued. Instead, it sank the Immortal, which was attacking it.
On the surface of the sea, the survivors of the Hades are struggling on the surface of the water clinging to various floating objects.
Look at the corpses floating on the surface of the sea.
Lu Ming's expression was extremely solemn.
At the edge of the woods, two pirates suddenly washed ashore.
They must have been the same people who had just come to the island in the dinghy.
Seeing Lu Ming coming, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Lu Ming, we were sent by Miss Elizabeth, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. They said.
"Where is Cheng Feng, how is he?" Lu Ming asked as he looked at the sea.
"The captain is not on board!"
"Oh, what the hell is going on, who is on board?" Lu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Cheng Feng was not on the Hades.
"Captain he was on another ship, and now he should be on an island in Melanesia. It's Miss Elizabeth who commands the Hades!"
"Who of you is still alive, hurry up and follow me to save people!" Lu Ming said.
Hearing that Lu Ming was going to risk his life to save his comrades in distress, the two pirates became excited.
"Johnson, you're in charge of guarding the island and not letting anyone else break in!" he hesitated, then turned to the mercenary captain and ordered solemnly.
"Of course, we will. This is our duty!" Johnson said gloomily.
In his opinion, the prerequisite for destroying the enemy is to save oneself. Lu Ming's actions just now were too crazy.
And, now it's the same when you go to sea to save people.
But he knew he couldn't convince this stubborn master.
On the other side of the beach, there are two small boats for fishing.
At this time, another pirate with good water nature swam to the beach.
"Don't rest, get on the boat immediately and go save the others!"
As Lu Ming spoke, he started the motor and drove the dinghy towards the wreck site.
Although he knew that the submarine was still hovering around, ready to rise up and attack him at any moment.
But he couldn't take care of it anymore.
Several pirates, led by Lu Ming, drove a small boat to the wreck site.
Pull those who are struggling to survive on the surface of the sea to the boat.
"Miss Elizabeth is over there, go and save Miss Elizabeth!" said one of the pirates, pointing far from shore.
Lu Ming immediately started the boat and searched over there.
The submarine did not attack anyone on the surface again.
This made Lu Ming feel a little grateful.
Before Elizabeth fell into the water, the loyal Amir threw her a lifebuoy, and always guarded her, when she saw Lu Ming sailing towards her in a dinghy, Elizabeth didn't know whether she was scared or excited, and she couldn't speak.
More than seventy pirates, including Elizabeth, survived the attack.
However, more than a dozen of them were injured to varying degrees.
As soon as the lifeboat reached the beach, a missile suddenly burst out of the sea and landed in an arc towards the island.
A huge explosion tossed the tiny sandy beach up.
Half of the pirates who survived the catastrophe were killed.
Lu Ming was lucky to escape the bombing.
When Johnson saw him ashore, he immediately led the mercenaries to meet him and pull him and Elizabeth and others to the middle of the island.
"Quick, everyone, hide in the bomb shelter!" he shouted hoarsely, directing the pirates who were still alive to retreat to the cave.
"Let's carry the wounded!" Louis shouted, directing the Melanesians toward the beach.
"Everyone, hurry up and help, and carry the wounded over. At this point, Christian showed the value of his existence.
The medical school professor asked Bai Xiaoyi and Irina to organize the women
A hospital bed was erected with a wooden box, and an operating room was set up improvise, and the wounded pirates began to be rescued.
"Let's go and help too!" Jon saw that the people in the cave were all in the same hatred, and he worked together to rescue these people, and it was not good to stand idly by.
"Alright!" the slaves slowly stood up and began to guide and help the pirates under Jon's command.
In total, more than forty pirates entered the anti-aircraft fortifications.
At one time, more than 100 people were crowded into the mountains.
At the entrance.
Johnson had already commanded his men to build fortifications. They set up machine guns behind stone walls. Always ready to defend against possible attacks.
"It's been following us for a long time. As early as half a month ago, the submarine carried out an attack on the Hades. Before that, they also injured another cargo ship where Cheng Feng was staying. ”
"It's in the sea, we can't hit it. You can only be beaten. What should I do?" cried Elizabeth angrily.
"As long as the submarine surfaces, we will have a way to fight it!" Lu Ming's eyes suddenly flashed.
He also had an artillery piece in the mountains.
At that time, I just felt that building a fort at the foot of the hill next to the beach was not enough to conceal it.
But I didn't expect it to be used this time.
The exit to the sea is opened in a rock crevice.
It's still a few meters away.
If the cannon is pushed to the hole, the missile will not be able to explode. There is also a stone mountain dozens of meters high above, which is really an excellent gun position except that the firing range is relatively small.
"Lu Ming, give me the cannon. I will avenge my brethren!" he had just been wounded, and his head and arms were wrapped in thick gauze.
Lu Ming asked people to take the cannon hidden in the cave and push it to the mouth of the cave.
"I have a way to lure the submarine here, but I need a few people who are not afraid of death. Lu Ming glanced at everyone.
"My brothers have long since given their lives to the god of the sea. Elizabeth heard that Lu Ming had a way, and said fearlessly.
The group of pirates led by Lu Ming and Elizabeth was trapped in the mountains by the powerful attack of the submarine.
The submarine drove the Hades here and wrecked the pirate ship. We will not rest on our laurels.
And Lu Ming's artillery stored in the mountains could not control the entire sea surface because of the narrow angle of fire.
When Lu Ming finished speaking, two pirates immediately expressed their willingness to drive the ship to attract submarines.
"Well done, boys, go and lure that guy out, Amir will beat him flat!" Elizabeth unexpectedly gave birth to a hint of admiration.
"Mr. Lu, we are also willing to go out and help!" At this time, Louis and several of his companions also stepped forward.
They recognized Cheng Feng as their king.
Now Cheng Feng's men are besieged by submarines, and they also have the same hatred for the enemy, and they can't wait to beat that submarine away.
"No, we'll just send one boat. ”
In order to increase the target, he ordered the people to tie a few dummies out of hay and branches. Then dress the dummy in clothes and life jackets, disguised as if there were many people on board.
The two pirates were very good at water, and they took the dummies and ran to the beach, then pushed a dinghy that had not yet been destroyed into the sea.
Then he drove the dinghy to the exit of the mountain, and went around this end.
Amir and his gunners stared nervously at the sea ahead, waiting for the submarine to come out.
However, it seemed that the target of the small boat was too small, or that submarine had seen through Lu Ming's strategy, so the submarine did not surface up to attack the small boat for a long time.
"Maybe the people on the submarine haven't spotted them yet. Lu Ming said calmly.
At this time, Margaret brought several women to deliver food.
Those pirates had been tossing in the sea for a long time and had long been exhausted.
took the lunch box and devoured it.
Lu Ming noticed that Jon and his slaves were not eating.
"Margaret, how many people's meals have you cooked?" Lu Ming asked the chef.
"How many people's food? Mr. Lu, you should ask, how many pots and stoves we have. The mountain is too crowded, and there are not enough stoves. I can only feed Miss Elizabeth and the people on board first. Margaret was a little dejected.
"Margaret, except for the people on the ship Hades, everyone else also tries to take care of it. Lu Ming reminded her.
"Mr. Lu, I really can't fulfill your request. I can only take care of my master, Miss Elizabeth, and the brothers on board. If you think those people are hungry, let them do it themselves!" she said as she stood beside Elizabeth.
Lu Ming was in a slightly bad mood.
In the face of a strong enemy, he needs everyone to work together instead of fighting in isolation.
His pupils turned yellow from anger, and his pupils shrank into a line.
Margaret inadvertently met Lu Ming's eyes, and jumped up in fright.
Elizabeth was anxious about the sinking of the Hades, and she was quite disdainful of the crowded environment in the mountains.
She originally only obeyed Cheng Feng's orders, so she always regarded herself as the master when she came here.
But when she saw Lu Ming's stunning eyes, she finally understood why George and Qi Wu couldn't catch Lu Ming on the island.
"Why don't you hurry up and do what Mr. Lu orders?" Elizabeth pushed Margaret out and scolded her.
Margaret reacted immediately and crawled away in horror.
"I will do what you tell me, even if I don't rest, I will complete the task you assigned, don't worry, I'll do it, just keep it to your satisfaction." ”
"Elizabeth, since the submarine has chased here, it will not stop easily. I'm afraid we're going to hide here for a while. Lu Ming looked at Elizabeth and said with a serious expression.
