Chapter 189: Attracting Pirates
More than 20 nautical miles away, a merchant ship carrying Indonesia was quietly moored on the sea, and the anchor on the bow side of the ship had long been lowered and sank into the deep ocean.
Next to this merchant ship, there were four or five pirate speedboats, and at this time, you could see a few pirates staying on the speedboats, busy climbing onto the merchant ship.
In the wheelhouse of the merchant ship, the captain and several crew members were controlled in the corner by several pirates, and several pirates with AKs watched over them with fierce faces.
Soon, as the hatch opened, several crew members with their heads in their arms were escorted by several pirates, and then walked into the corner, where they crouched down with their companions.
"Head, the whole ship has been searched by us, and all the crew members are here!"
A pirate with an AK rifle walked up to the pirate leader and spoke, looking a little excited.
Being able to search the entire merchant ship inside and outside means that these pirates have completely taken control of the merchant ship. As long as this merchant ship is sailed back, it won't be long before millions of ransoms will be paid in.
"Let the brothers drive the speedboat below, start the merchant ship immediately, and drive this ship back!" said the pirate leader who saw this, and this guy's face was also very excited at this time, after all, it was not particularly easy for these pirates to be able to hold such a merchant ship hostage.
"Understood!"
Hearing this, the pirate hurriedly walked out of the wheelhouse, intending to arrange for someone to drive the speedboat below.
However, just over a minute later, as the hatch was violently opened, the anxious-looking pirate broke in again.
"Head, the Huaxia Navy is here!"
The pirate spoke, with a hint of fear on his face.
After hearing this, the pirate leader's face turned pale, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.
However, after thinking that he had taken control of the entire merchant ship, the pirate leader, who had grown in confidence, walked out of the wheelhouse with a few pirates.
In the corner of the wheelhouse, several Indonesian merchant ships with their heads bowed understood the words between the two pirates, and when they knew that the Huaxia Navy was coming, hope began to appear on the originally desperate faces of several people.
On the deck of the merchant ship, after stepping out of the wheelhouse, the pirate leader saw that on the front left side of the merchant ship, a helicopter from Huaxia Kingdom was constantly flying towards this side.
And below this one, it was closely followed by a speedboat, on which sat five members of the Huaxia Marines.
"We are the escort formation of the Huaxia Navy, and we are ordered to carry out escort missions in this sea area, please leave immediately, please leave immediately, otherwise we will directly take force measures!"
Before the helicopters and speedboats arrived, the pirates heard the icy sound of warning.
"Boss, it's the Huaxia Marines, they're here!"
As soon as the pirate leader stood on the deck, a frightened pirate spoke, his expression and tone of voice extremely frightened.
"Rubbish, what are you afraid of, the merchant ships are in our hands!" the angry pirate leader kicked the coward to the ground, and after thinking of something, the pirate leader opened his mouth and ordered, "Bring a few crew members up, I see if they dare to approach!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
After hearing this, the pirate who was kicked to the ground brightened up, and the pirate who reacted quickly got up from the ground neatly, and then quickly ran towards the wheelhouse with a few pirates.
"Da Da Da Da..."
Looking at the approaching helicopters and merchant ships, the pirate leader, who was also a little frightened in his eyes, took his men to the front left deck of the merchant ship, and directly pulled the trigger towards the speedboat on the sea.
A series of bullets hit the sea, splashing columns of water, and some bullets hit the speedboat's baffle, making a crisp sound.
He Mingzhe and the others, who were lying on the speedboat, did not hesitate at all, and quickly lowered their bodies to prevent being hit by these bullets.
"Captain Ma, just press down the height and press it up!"
On the helicopter, looking at the pirates shooting towards the sea, Jiang Chen, who had a cold expression, directly ordered, "Eagle Eye, shoot at the merchant ship and attract the pirates!"
"Hawkeye understands!"
Hearing this, He Mingzhe did not hesitate at all, he raised his head and looked at the few members of the team next to him who nodded, and then raised his head, and directly pulled the trigger towards the merchant ship in front of him.
"Da Da Da Da..."
"Da Da Da..."
With the crisp sound of gunfire, the fire of several automatic rifles was woven into a fire net, and they pounced on the merchant ships not far away.
"Sonorous and sonorous..."
Countless bullets hit the baffle of the merchant ship, splashing yellow sparks, and immediately suppressed the fire of the pirate leader.
"Shoot them and get them away!"
The head of the pirate leader shrunk looked at his men with a frightened look on his side, and he scolded with an angry expression.
"Da Da Da Da..."
"Da Da Da Da..."
After hearing this, these pirates raised their AK rifles in their hands and shot at the speedboats and helicopters below, facing the sparks splashed on the helicopter fuselage, Ma Xiaotao, who looked determined, continued to follow Jiang Chen's orders, lowered the altitude, and continued to approach the merchant ships.
"Bang!"
After loading the AK rifle with a new magazine, the pirate leader who had just raised his head did not wait to shoot, and as the top of his head cooled, the beret that he had originally worn on his head was directly knocked away and fell on the deck.
The pirate leader who reacted quickly lay directly on the deck in embarrassment, and when he turned his head, he looked at the beret with a hole in the back, and the cold sweat on his face flowed out in the next second.
On the speedboat, Shang Jie, who was holding a sniper rifle, clearly saw the pirate leader lying on the ground like a dead dog at the moment when his hat was blown away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.
"Sea eagle, speed up, while the pirates haven't reacted yet, hurry up and get close to the right rear side of the merchant ship, and then quickly board the ship!"
Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the helicopter, took a certain altitude advantage, and looked at the speedboat that was approaching from the right rear side of the merchant ship, and his expression was extremely serious.
At this time, all the pirates' attention was focused on the left front side of the merchant ship, the speedboats and helicopters from the Huaxia Navy, and they didn't notice that a speedboat was rapidly approaching in the rear, and the gunshots like fried beans and the roar of the helicopter well drowned out the sound of the speedboat motor.
"Sea eagles understand!"
Behind the side of the merchant ship, Lu Haiyang, who was sitting on the speedboat, felt the strong wind blowing in his ears, and looked at the merchant ship that was getting closer and closer, his face was also very cold.
On the other side, while Jiang Chen was speaking, under the control of Ma Xiaotao, the helicopter that quickly approached the merchant ship stopped directly less than two meters above the pirates under Jiang Chen's order to press down.
The helicopter's high-speed rotating propellers and the strong winds generated blew on the decks of merchant ships, and several pirates who did not stand firm even fell directly on the deck in embarrassment.
"We are the escort formation of the Huaxia State, and we were ordered to carry out escort operations in the sea area. I command you to leave the merchant ships immediately, or we will take measures by force!"
Inside the helicopter, looking at the pirates staggering below, Jiang Chen, who had a cold expression, continued to warn in English, and there was a hint of murder in his tone.
Just as these pirates were pressed on the deck by the helicopter, not far away, as the sound of the pirates came, Jiang Chen, who raised his head, saw that several pirates were pressing the crews of three Indonesian merchant ships.
One of the pirates didn't know what to say, but kept waving his hand and letting the helicopter go, as if to warn them.
"Sea eagle, have you arrived?"
Jiang Chen, whose expression was gradually gloomy, looked at the several crew members who were being blackmailed, and then asked.
"Arrived, ready to board!"
Behind the merchant ship, when Lu Haiyang, who had just arrived, said this, his teammates had already thrown the climbing rope onto the merchant ship, and the hook claw at the top of the rope successfully hooked the guardrail of the merchant ship. And there was already a member of the team, who began to lean on the rope and quickly climbed onto the merchant ship.
This Indonesian merchant ship, like an ordinary merchant ship, is not only very flat on the middle deck, but also much lower in height than on both sides, and the highest position is at the back of the merchant ship, that is, the wheelhouse.
For such a merchant ship, although the deck is the best place for the members of the operation team, the pirates can easily strike at them. Behind the merchant ship, although it is not easy to log in, this place is not only high, but also has a lot of things and a lot of dead ends.
In addition, at this time, the attention of the pirates was on the helicopter, so the actions on the land and sea side were not discovered by the pirates from beginning to end. Even the pirates who were still in the wheelhouse, guarding the rest of the crew, did not notice the actions of Lu Haiyang and the others.
"Captain Ma, pull up!"
On the helicopter, after getting the news, Jiang Chen said to Ma Xiaotao.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded, and then slowly pulled the helicopter's control stick, and the helicopter that was originally hovering over the pirates quickly and slowly rose.
On the sea not far away, the speedboat that was already about to sail under the merchant ship gradually widened the distance between it and the merchant ship after the helicopter was pulled up and after turning a corner.
After seeing that their threat had an effect, the pirates on the deck suddenly let out a shocking cheer and successfully "defeated" these pirates of the Huaxia Navy, cheering while raising the AK rifle in their hands.
"Prepare to rappel and get moving!"
On the helicopter, looking at the slowly retreating merchant ships, Jiang Chen, who had a cold expression, opened his mouth and ordered.
"Understood!"
After hearing this, the four members of the Nalan Army shouted in unison, and the few people who spoke put non-slip gloves on their hands. And directly pulled the bolt of the automatic rifle, pushing the bullet into the chamber.
