Chapter 168: Landing on the island
And this is exactly where countries around the world have a headache when facing pirates.
Because many pirates disguise themselves as fishing boats when they move. When encountering a warship, he will throw away the AK rifle in his hand for more than a dozen dollars, and then pick up the fishing net on the ground. But when they encounter merchant ships, a large number of pirates will gather, lay down their fishing nets, pick up AK rifles, and loot and hold hostage passing ships.
With a single successful hijacking, the pirates were able to receive millions in ransom, which was a drop in the bucket compared to a few AK rifles thrown into the sea.
However, this time, Efuya, a pirate who had been "galloping" on the ocean for half a year, did the most wrong thing in his life, that is, he robbed the fishing boats of Huaxia. And when Efuya, who was lucky again, was robbing, a fleet that was ready to participate in the escort mission passed by, and after the incident, quickly locked on to the target.
At this time, in the sky above Efuya and the others, a drone was constantly circling, constantly sending the detected situation to the formation headquarters dozens of kilometers away.
Unaware of these things, Efuya was hiding in the jungle, waiting for the night to come. Because as long as it gets dark, a large part of the modern investigative methods will fail, and this is the best time for Efuya to leave here.
Not far away, thirteen freshly kidnapped fishermen were snuggling up to each other, looking at the pirates in front of them with fear in their eyes. Several of the fishermen were covered in bruises, apparently beaten by the pirates.
Standing next to him, a pirate holding an AK rifle and looking down at the fear and helplessness in the eyes of several fishermen. However, when he saw that one of them was covered in scars, but still looked at him with hatred and anger, the enraged pirate pulled the other man out of the crowd and tried to smash the butt of his gun on the other's body, but was stopped.
"Bang!"
When he saw one of his men beating the hostages again, a furious Efuya walked over and kicked him to the ground without waiting for the other to do anything.
"Fool, if you kill them, how can we ask for ransom!"
Efuya, who kicked the other party, scolded angrily at the other party, and at this time, Efuya really wanted to pry open the other party's head to see if this guy's head was full of.
"What are you doing standing here, don't you go out to see if there are any warships and ships from Huaxia Kingdom nearby!"
Although Efuya thought that the navy of Huaxia would not find out his traces so quickly, since the incident with the Philippine warship, Efuya has been a lot more vigilant in his heart.
But Efuya probably didn't expect that it was his order that completely exposed his whereabouts.
Because after hearing Efuya's words, these pirates hurriedly led the people towards the beach around the pirates, and only when they walked there could they see the situation on the sea.
However, when the first pirate stepped onto the beach, the drone that had been hovering above immediately captured the situation and quickly transmitted it to the formation headquarters.
In the conference room where the formation headquarters was located, after waiting for nearly an hour, with the opening of the door of the conference room, Zheng Mingchuan in uniform walked into the conference room.
"Stand up!"
Under Jiang Chen's order, the thirteen members of the tactical team and the sea eagle team stood up at the first time.
"Sit down!"
Zheng Mingchuan, who walked directly in front of the big screen, said while putting his military hat on the table.
Several fighters who followed behind Zheng Mingchuan hurriedly set up the computer, then turned on the screen of the conference room and projected the content on the computer on the big screen of the conference room.
"The general situation, I believe you all already understand!" Glancing at the eleven special combat team members below, Zheng Mingchuan said, "After entering our reconnaissance, it was confirmed that the thirteen fishermen on the fishing boat were held hostage by pirates. After successfully holding these fishermen hostage, this group of pirates immediately moved to an island about ten nautical miles away from the place where the incident occurred!"
As the big screen showed the pirates filmed by the drone, about a few square kilometers, Zheng Mingchuan, who pointed to the picture with one hand, continued: "According to our speculation, the number of this group of pirates is about a dozen. The purpose of their hiding on the island is to wait until it gets dark, then get out of here while it's dark, get to a safe place, and finally contact us and negotiate with us about the ransom!"
"And this group of pirates came here from other places half a year ago, the pirate leader is called Efuya, and we only know his name for his intelligence!" Looking at the photo on the big screen, which was obviously taken from that fishing boat, Zheng Mingchuan's expression became colder and colder, "However, since they dare to offend us and endanger the safety of our fishermen, we will let them pay the price they deserve!"
"I have received an order from my superiors to unite with the South China Sea Fleet to blockade the waters near the island. And your task is to sneak into the island and rescue the thirteen Chinese compatriots from the hands of this group of pirates, all intact!" said Zheng Mingchuan, who looked extremely serious.
"Yes!"
After hearing this, the thirteen special combat team members who had just sat down stood up again, and then shouted neatly, their tones full of the smell of war intent.
"We know that the pirates are hiding on this island, but we don't know where the pirates are, let alone where the thirteen fishermen are hiding. Therefore, when the operation is carried out, no member of the team is allowed to attack until the location of the fishermen is discovered, and the pirates must not be alarmed, which is the most important point to pay attention to!"
"Also, in the course of the operation, it is best to keep a few alive, because according to our investigation, in addition to these dozen pirates, there are many pirates hiding in this sea area in Efuya. Then this opportunity, the superiors hope to uproot the pirate forces in Efuya!" Zheng Mingchuan said, thinking of this.
Of course, this information was also provided by the Philippines and some Southeast Asian countries before. Although they did not find Efuya's lair, they had roughly guessed how many pirates there were in Efuya's hands.
"A submarine from the South China Sea Fleet will arrive here in an hour, and all of you will board the submarine, and the submarine will escort you to the closest point to the island. The rest of the action depends on you, since the superiors have handed over the operation to us, we will complete this mission and rescue all thirteen fishermen!" Zheng Mingchuan continued.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Jiang Chen and the others, who heard these words, shouted in unison again.
"Let's get ready!"
After saying this, Zheng Mingchuan walked out of the conference room with two soldiers, leaving it to the members of the tactical team and the sea eagle team.
However, Zheng Mingchuan did not take the computer with him, and all the information was still displayed on the big screen, which was also considered that the tactical team needed to use this information when formulating an action plan.
As soon as the door of the conference room was closed, the entire conference room suddenly became lively, and for these elite special combat personnel, ten exercises may not be comparable to a real combat battle.
"What are you going to do?"
At the front of the conference room, Lu Haiyang, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, asked, after such a long time of integration, Lu Haiyang finally accepted Jiang Chen as the captain, and some things were also based on the other party.
"Let's take a look at the information we have first. A dozen pirates are not difficult for us to solve, but the most important thing is to protect the lives of thirteen fishermen. If there is a problem with any of them, our action this time will be a complete failure!" Jiang Chen, who had thought for a while, said.
Lu Haiyang, who heard this, also nodded, and also agreed with Jiang Chen's words.
In the next few tens of minutes, the calmed tactical team and the sea eagle team quickly entered the state and began to formulate a specific plan of action for the next operation, and the most important thing was how to protect the lives of the thirteen fishermen during the operation.
An hour later, two guided missile destroyers and a submarine sent by the South China Sea Fleet successfully joined the escort group, and the heavily armed tactical team quickly boarded the submarine.
Then the submarine quickly dived and began to sail towards the island where the pirates were hiding, and the two guided missile destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet combined with the two missile destroyers of the escort fleet, and four warships also began to act.
Before the joint operations team can operate, they need to arrive at the predetermined location and then seal off the island so that not a single pirate can escape from it.
Towards evening, the submarine of the transport team arrived about a kilometer or two from the island. As the torpedo tube opened, a member of the operation team wearing a diving suit swam out of the submarine and then swam towards the island.
From beginning to end, there has always been a drone hovering in the sky above the island to reconnoitre, and with the help of the drone, thirteen members of the action team quietly went ashore, and then quickly moved to the jungle.
After hiding all the diving equipment on their bodies, the thirteen members of the action team who put on their weapons and equipment, under the leadership of Jiang Chen, began to search for the location of pirates and fishermen on the island.
The island, which is several square kilometers in size, makes it difficult for the members of the operation team to find the location of the pirates, but it is equally difficult for the pirates to spy on the entire pirate.
Moreover, these pirates would not have known that the special forces of Huaxia Kingdom had already locked their location a few hours after the incident, and then quickly launched an operation.
At this time, these pirates were hiding somewhere in the jungle, waiting for dark, and then driving the speedboat, under the cover of night, to leave here.
