After seeing Jiang Chen resting not far away, looking at Jiang Chen's appearance at this time, Li Kang, who looked a little guilty, finally walked towards Jiang Chen.

"Captain Li!"

"Sit down and rest!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen just wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by Li Kang.

Looking at the arm on Jiang Chen's hand and his current appearance, Li Kang, who looked apologetic, finally spoke: "I'm sorry, we're late!"

"Captain Li, don't say that, if it weren't for your timely reinforcements, I'm afraid this oil tanker would have been held hostage by pirates, and we have become prisoners in the hands of pirates!" Jiang Chen, who saw this, said.

Of course, Jiang Chen knew what Li Kang was thinking, and the joint operations team held out on the tanker for more than an hour before waiting for the support of the warship. But it's not that Li Kang's support speed is too slow, it's that the warship is too far away from here.

The distance of tens of nautical miles, according to the speed of a helicopter, may be able to reach it in ten minutes, but according to the speed of a warship, it takes more than an hour, and it is the fastest sailing speed.

For Jiang Chen and the rest of the team, Li Kang's ability to arrive here in time was already a matter of joy and gratitude, how could he blame the other party for being too slow in supporting. And they didn't even think about it.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Li Kang also sighed, and Li Kang, who didn't care about this, looked at the injury on Jiang Chen's arm, and then asked.

"I was bitten by a bullet, it was no big deal. Among the squad, although there were a few injuries, the injuries were not serious. However, on the side of the tanker's security team, there is a team member who is seriously injured, and the situation is a little unoptimistic!" Jiang Chen, who saw this, said.

During the operation, one of the members of the security team was shot in the chest by a pirate bullet while driving away from the pirates, although it was not fatal, but if the bullet was not removed in time, the injury was likely to worsen.

"I'll immediately contact the commanders, immediately arrange for a helicopter to send them to the integrated supply ship, and immediately arrange surgery! and quickly ask them to send a medical team to treat your wounds!" Li Kang, who saw this, said.

Although the tanker's security personnel are no longer soldiers, they need to receive adequate medical treatment since they were injured and injured by pirates in order to protect the tanker's safety.

Among the escort formations, except for the two missile destroyers, although the comprehensive supply ships do not have much combat effectiveness, they are the nurses of the entire formation, and not only all the material supplies have to rely on the comprehensive supply ships. And there is a professional medical team on the supply ship, which can ensure the safety of all personnel on the ship!

Just as Li Kang finished saying this, as the pirates drove away, the captain who also received the news also ran out of the safety cabin as soon as possible.

When he saw the scene in front of him, the captain's heart did not have any other thoughts except moving. When he saw Jiang Chen and the colonel squatting in front of Jiang Chen, on the one hand, he arranged for the crew to take care of the injured team members, and on the other hand, ran directly towards this side.

"Comrade PLA, are you okay?"

Looking at Jiang Chen, who looked a little pale and tired, the captain's face was full of worry.

"I'm fine!" Jiang Chen, who heard this, shook his head, pointed at the captain Jiang Chen and said to Li Kang, "This is the captain of the oil tanker, you can talk to him about anything!"

"Captain, this is our captain!"

"Hello Chief!"

The captain, who had already guessed his identity, quickly straightened up after hearing this, and his eyes were full of respect.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at the wounds on the captain's deck, Li Kang, who thought that the crew of the tanker had also suffered casualties, asked.

"I'm fine, except for the bullet I was bitten by a bullet, the rest of the crew is fine. Thanks to them, if it weren't for them, this ship would have been robbed by pirates!" said the captain.

After hearing this news, Li Kang's heart was also relieved, as long as everyone has nothing to do, it is the best news.

Although he looked at the damaged deck everywhere and knew that this oil tanker would need to spend a lot of money on maintenance after returning home, the captain who didn't think about it at all had in his heart only to thank the joint operations team and the five security members of the security company.

Without them, this oil tanker, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, plus tens of thousands of tons of oil worth hundreds of millions, would have been held hostage by pirates, and the cost of maintaining the tanker is simply not worth mentioning compared to this loss.

"Captain, hurry up and arrange someone to clean up the fishing nets on the propellers!" Jiang Chen, who thought of this, hurriedly said, "Because according to the order of the superiors, after successfully driving away the pirates, this oil tanker will join the escort formation to escort you out of this sea area and let you return to China safely!"

"I'll arrange the personnel immediately, you have a good rest, I'll come to see you later!"

After hearing the good news, the captain, who was full of smiles on his face, hurried back and began to arrange personnel to clean the fishing nets wrapped around the propellers.

As for why the captain is so happy, it is also because the safety behind the oil tanker is guaranteed, and with the protection of the escort formation, the oil tanker can return to China safely.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the captain who ran back to arrange the personnel, Li Kang was a little puzzled at this time.

"When these pirates found the tanker, they used a large number of fishing nets to entangle the propellers of the tanker, which caused the tanker to be trapped here for so long. If the nets were not cleared quickly, the tanker would not have been able to start. Because the pirates have been wandering around the oil tanker just now, we don't dare to send professionals to clean up those fishing nets!" Jiang Chen, who saw this, explained, and after thinking of the escort formation, Jiang Chen asked again, "Captain Li, do you know what the situation is over there?"

"You can rest assured, there are no problems, just waiting for you to go back!" Li Kang replied, after thinking of what Jiang Chen had just done, Li Kang, who had been thinking for a while, said, "Since I need to clean the fishing nets, I also have professional cleaners on my ship, so I will send them over immediately." Then at the same time, send the seriously injured to the helicopter and send them directly to the supply ship, and then let the commander send a few medical personnel to deal with your injuries!"

"When the nets are cleared, we will catch up with the escort formation!" Li Kang said.

Although Li Kang, as a colonel, is the captain of a missile destroyer, he has no official pretension at all, and when he talks to Jiang Chen, he also speaks in a consultative tone.

"I see!"

Jiang Chen, who had no objection to this, replied.

"If you hold on here for a while, I'll contact the editor right away, and medical personnel will come over soon!"

After Li Kang, who nodded, turned his head and hurriedly returned to the helicopter, and then the helicopter quickly took off and returned to the warship not far away.

A few minutes later, the helicopter took off again, returned to the tanker, and took off again after leaving behind several professional net cleaners and putting the badly injured security guard on board.

And this time, instead of stopping at the warship not far away, the helicopter rushed straight in the direction of the escort formation.

At the same time, in the escort formation dozens of nautical miles away, in the formation headquarters, after reading the telegram that had just been transmitted by Li Kang, Zheng Mingchuan, who handed over the telegram to political commissar Lin Guoze, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The pirates have finally retreated!"

"Contact the medical team of the integrated supply ship, there is a seriously wounded person who is about to arrive, and let them quickly prepare for surgery. At the same time, prepare a few nurses, bring enough medical supplies, and prepare to take a helicopter to the oil tanker to treat the wounds of the members of the joint combat team as soon as possible!" Zheng Mingchuan, who finished the previous sentence, quickly ordered.

"Understood!"

Hearing this, the signal corpsman reacted quickly, and then quickly contacted the integrated supply ship, and transmitted Zheng Mingchuan's order to the captain's room of the integrated supply ship.

Soon, after receiving the order, the medical team on the integrated supply ship quickly took action, and the operating room was also arranged as soon as possible, and several nurses who helped Jiang Chen and the others to deal with their wounds also brought enough medical supplies and prepared to board the helicopter to receive them.

It was only the first seriously wounded that the medical team received since the escort formation carried out the escort operation, and in the previous month or so, the busiest thing the medical team had done, in addition to regularly conducting physical examinations for everyone in the formation, was to help the seven members of the tactical team adapt to the ocean life as soon as possible.

Of course, the more idle the medical team is, the more nothing happens in the escort formation, and such a thing is also the scene that all members of the medical team are most willing to see.

When it was known that a seriously injured person was about to need surgery, this professional medical team also completed all the preparations before the operation as quickly as possible, and waited for the helicopter to send the seriously injured over...

"It almost happened!"

In the formation headquarters, after reading the telegram sent by Li Kang, Lin Guoze, who also sighed, spoke.

This group of hundreds of pirates besieged the oil tanker for several hours, and if it weren't for the support of the joint operations team and the timely support of the warships behind, Lin Guoze would not dare to imagine what would happen at that time.

If this oil tanker is really hijacked by pirates, when the time comes, not only the country will be shaken, but I am afraid that the whole world will be shaken by it.

And then there will be a series of chain reactions, of course, all of those bad things.

"These pirates are really getting rampant!"

Looking at the endless ocean outside, Zheng Mingchuan, who looked extremely angry, opened his mouth and scolded, with a strong murderous aura in his eyes.
