Chapter 182: Helpless

The ships piloted by pirates are small and fast, and in high-speed motion, it is definitely not easy to hit a pirate on a pirate.

Before that, the most the security team on the tanker did was to shoot bullets on the surface of the sea to warn the pirates not to approach, and by the time the pirates began to board the ship, several security team members had run out of ammunition, so the pirates at that time did not pay too many casualties.

Now, when thirteen members of the Joint Operations Team became tankers, and seven members of the tactical team and five members of the Joint Security Team began to defend themselves against the pirates, the pirates found that what could have been easy to get close to the tanker was now like a skyrocket.

As the pirate approached with the speedboat, the Nalan Army, who was the first to shoot, focused on the speedboat's engine, although he did not point his gun at the pirate's body.

With a burst of crisp gunfire, you can see that the speedboat that was originally traveling at high speed began to slowly reduce its speed, and the engine behind the speedboat was already emitting black smoke at this time, and these smoking engines were like the masterpieces of the Nalan Army.

Not far away, a member of the security team stood and hit the engine of the speedboat when he saw that Nalan Jun was actually able to move the speedboat at high speed. While the team member was shocked, he was more adored.

Soon, not long after Jiang Chen entered the battle, the gunfire on the oil tanker gradually became intense, and the seven members of the tactical team and five security members quickly all joined the battle, although with twelve people, it was still a little difficult to protect the entire oil tanker, but it was much easier than before.

In the face of the bullets fired from the tanker, the pirates, who were originally shooting into the sky to warn, could only aim their guns at the team members on the tanker. For a while, the gunfire was like the sound of firecrackers for the New Year, mixed with a lot of explosions, which were grenades fired by the tactical team.

And in order to board the tanker again as soon as possible, the pirates, who were gradually going crazy, also began to use Molotov cocktails and rockets, and several Molotov cocktails crossed an arc and fell on the deck of the tanker, which immediately ignited a fire.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen could only let the crew of the tanker come out of the safety cabin, risk the danger to fight the fire on the deck, and wait until the fire was in the face, and then let them hide in the safety cabin.

You know, there are tens of thousands of tons of oil on this tanker, and although these Molotov cocktails and rockets may not ignite the oil, no one knows if there will be an accident.

If an accident happens to an oil tanker because of these pirates, it can cause an oil spill or the entire tanker turns into a fireball.

Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, if an accident happens, it will bring a world-class disaster.

At this time, one or two kilometers away from the oil **, on a pirate's mother ship, there was a man in Arab costume, the man's whole body was shrouded in clothes, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"Boss, since the navy of Huaxia has already arrived, why do we still attack?"

At this time, a pirate came from behind and asked very confusedly.

And this man in Arab attire is a big pirate leader, and all the actions today are organized by the pirate leader in front of him, and he is the only one who can organize dozens of pirate ships.

"The propellers of the oil tankers, entangled in the fishing nets, have lost their effect, they want to leave here, unless they send someone down to clean up, but do you think they have the courage to come down now?" After hearing this, looking at the fierce gunfire not far away, the big pirate with a very indifferent look said, "Besides, the two helicopters of Huaxia Kingdom can't stay here all the time." Even if the marines of the Huaxia Kingdom board the tanker, there are only a dozen of them, but I have prepared so many people, as long as there is more than an hour, when the ammunition of these people above runs out, it will be the time for us to board the ship!"

Although the pirate only showed a pair of eyes on his entire face, it could be seen from his eyes that when he said this, this guy's face was crazy.

As the pirate said this, the two helicopters that had been hovering over the tanker did leave, and then flew straight in one direction, and soon disappeared from the pirate's view.

The two helicopters could not continue to stay here because they were running out of fuel, so after informing Jiang Chen and the others, they quickly left the sea area and headed for the warship.

And for this big pirate and all the pirates, these two helicopters in the sky are the most troublesome guys, with air superiority and speed superiority, these two helicopters can threaten all pirates.

"Keep sending people up, and you must use up all the bullets on the tanker as quickly as possible! Then take complete control of the entire tanker!" ordered the pirate leader, whose tone was much more relaxed after the helicopter left.

Although by now, more than a dozen speedboats have been blown out of engines, lost power, and there have been casualties, but for the big pirate bosses, everything is worth it.

You know, on the beach of his hometown, there are countless poor people, and when there is a speedboat departure, these people will scramble to get on the speedboat, and then rob the merchant ships along the way.

With the increasing rampant piracy, after more and more pirates successfully hijacked merchant ships and received a large amount of ransom, more and more poor people who could not eat because of the war became pirates, waiting for merchant ships to pass by every day and waiting to get rich tomorrow.

Although it is true that being a pirate can make money, and if you don't get it right, you can make a lot of money, but according to public survey data, the average person, after becoming a pirate, can not live for more than two years, which is also the most cruel place.

But even this does not change the reality that piracy is becoming more and more rampant.

On the other side of the day, facing more and more pirate ships that were getting closer and closer, the tactical team quickly fell into a bitter battle. However, when the defense line was about to collapse again, it was only with the Sea Eagle Squad joining the fight that everyone barely managed to keep the pirates out.

In the corner of the oil tanker, Jiang Chen, who no longer knew how many engines had been blown up, looked at the speedboat that was abandoned on the sea and lost power, as for the pirates on the original speedboat, they climbed onto other speedboats, and Jiang Chen could see that in the distant seas, there was still a steady stream of pirates driving pirates towards here.

"Everyone save bullets, be sure to hold on until the arrival of the warship!"

Looking at the two magazines that had been emptied, Jiang Chen, who was already the third magazine, immediately reminded all the team members that the ammunition consumption of the other team members at this time was similar to Jiang Chen.

If you want to prevent these pirates from approaching the oil tanker, you can only use bullets to force these pirates, although before the operation, everyone brought enough weapons and ammunition, but according to the current level of consumption, Jiang Chen did not dare to guarantee whether he could hold out until the arrival of the warship, because he did not know when the warship would arrive.

The current Jiang Chen and his team members can only save ammunition as much as possible until the arrival of the warship.

As soon as he said this, the two speedboats rushed towards this side again as fast as they could, and the pirate on one of the speedboats threw the Molotov* bottle that had already ignited the strip of cloth on the mouth of the tanker directly towards the tanker.

Built during the wars of the last century, this weapon was originally used by poorly equipped partisans against enemy tanks. Even today, technology is still a common weapon used by these irregular troops and street rioters, and these pirates also like to use Molotov* bottles to intimidate the crews of merchant ships.

After seeing another pirate throwing this thing, Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all, and he directly pulled the trigger when he raised the muzzle of the gun.

"Dada!"

With a crisp burst of fire, the incendiary* flask in the air was shattered by bullets, and the liquid inside splashed in all directions, and after encountering the flames, it was directly ignited, even if it fell into the sea, it was still burning on the sea. At this time, such a phenomenon is not uncommon on the sea around the tanker, and the members of the joint operations team with outstanding marksmanship, after the experience of the tanker, are often able to let the incendiary* bottle be blown up in the air before it is thrown on the deck.

"Sonorous and sonorous..."

At the same time that the Molotov* bottle was thrown out, the pirate on the speedboat also pulled the trigger of the AK rifle in his hand, and many bullets hit the deck in front of Jiang Chen, splashing sparks one after another, and Jiang Chen also subconsciously shrank his head.

Just when these pirates thought that this was a good opportunity, as the gunfire rang out again, about twenty or thirty meters away from Jiang Chen, Zhu Haofeng, who was standing in that position, poured fire towards this side.

The bullet hit the surface of the sea like a splash of barrier, and the pirates, who were still answering the tanker a second ago, quickly turned the steering wheel, and the two pirates turned a corner, but finally failed to succeed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen turned his head and gave Zhu Haofeng a thumbs up, and Zhu Haofeng, who saw the thumb, also took advantage of the gap to give Jiang Chen a thumbs up.

After a very short exchange, the two of them were once again engaged in the battle, and the two speedboats just now were not the first to plan to approach, and definitely not the last.

Soon, there were new pirates driving the speedboat and quickly approaching the oil tanker, and Jiang Chen, who saw this, could only shoot a string of bullets, and these pirates turned a corner after Jiang Chen shot, and then left.

"Mader!"

Looking down at the transparent magazine of the rifle installed in his hand, seeing that in just a few minutes, most of the bullets had been gone, and Jiang Chen didn't know the plans of these pirates at this time.

Not only Jiang Chen, but all the team members on the tanker faced wave after wave of attacks from these pirates. Even knowing that the pirates were deliberately draining their bullets, they could only keep shooting and drive the pirates out when they approached.

If no shots are fired, these pirates will venture directly to the bottom of the tanker, and in order to protect the pirates below the tanker, more pirates will drive the speedboat towards the tanker. By that time, whether it's dealing with the pirates below or the pirates approaching quickly, the situation will get worse and worse.

How did he know about this, of course, it was a lesson, and one of the members of the security team did not shoot when he saw that the pirates were only consuming their bullets when they faced the two pirate ships that continued to approach this way.

As a result, the pirate, who no longer turned, rushed directly under the tanker, and by the time he reacted, several incendiary* bottles had already been thrown on the deck.

What's more, when these two pirates succeeded, the other pirates who had been waiting for this opportunity did not hesitate in the slightest, and seven or eight pirates quickly approached the tanker.

When the security team had just forced the pirates on the two pirates to abandon the speedboat and jump into the sea, the security team member was suddenly a little overwhelmed when faced with a new wave of pirates.

Fortunately, the two members of the joint operations team next to this security team member quickly pulled out after seeing this situation, and the three of them together finally resisted the pirate's attack after consuming a lot of ammunition.

Because of this incident, from that time on, even though they were helpless, all the team members still did not dare to risk letting the pirates get closer to the tanker again.

In the face of hundreds of meters long oil tankers, there is only one team member at a distance of tens of meters, which shows how much pressure each team member needs to bear at this time.

On the mother ship not far away, the big pirates could clearly feel that with the passage of time, the gunfire from the oil tanker had changed from very fierce at the beginning, to the later ones that would sound after a while, and finally became fragmented.

And finally saw the pirate ship approaching the pirates again, and had already guessed that the bullets of those people above had run out again.

The pirate's eyes were full of smiles, and it was not in vain that he gathered hundreds of pirates and besieged the fishing boat for several hours.

"Boss, someone has started to climb up!"

The pirate standing next to the pirate had sharp eyes, and when he saw that one of the pirates was already half-hung in the air, he hurriedly spoke, his tone very excited.

Although the pirate quickly fell into the sea, it was off to a good start, as more and more pirates began to try to climb onto the tanker.

"Let them speed up again, and they must completely control the entire oil tanker before the reinforcements of the Huaxia Navy arrive!" ordered the big pirate with a somewhat gloomy expression.

For more than an hour before, the big pirates had been mentioning the arrival of the Huaxia Navy.

Because the pirates who have dealt with the Huaxia Navy for many years know that the Huaxia Navy will never let this oil tanker go unpunished, and the troops who rescue the oil tanker must be on the way.

But for more than an hour, the pirates still didn't notice them, and the smiles on the pirates' faces became more and more in the face of the imminent success.

"No matter how fast you are, it's too late!"

Watching more and more pirates begin to climb onto the tanker, the big pirate, who seemed to have predicted the end, finally spoke.
