Chapter 181: Waiting for Support

Although Jiang Chen and Ye Mo, who were standing behind Jiang Chen, looked at least one round younger than Zhu Haofeng, Zhu Haofeng did not mean to belittle the other party in his heart, he was able to participate in the escort operation at such a young age, and it can be seen from this that these people also have good strength.

Moreover, in Zhu Haofeng's heart, he was also guessing that the identities of these people in front of him might not be as simple as only marines.

"So coincidentally?"

When he heard that the five members of the security team of this group were all retired from the Marine Corps, Jiang Chen's expression was also a little surprised.

"By the way, this is the captain of the tanker!"

When he thought of the captain standing behind him, Zhu Haofeng hurriedly introduced.

"Hello comrades of the People's Liberation Army!"

His expression was a little pale, and the captain, who was holding the wound on his shoulder with one hand, endured the pain and said, his face full of gratitude and respect.

"Thanks to you, otherwise we would all be captured by these pirates today, and this ship would have been held hostage by pirates!"

The current captain was still a little frightened at the thought of what had happened in the previous hours.

It has to be said that the support of the joint operations team is very timely, if they come a few minutes late, not only will the crew of the tanker be caught by pirates, but there will be more pirates controlling the entire tanker, and things will become more troublesome.

Although many pirates boarded the tanker just now, all of them did not have time to enter the tanker, just stayed on deck, and did not catch a single crew member.

It is conceivable that if the joint operations team is really a few steps late, the consequences may really be unimaginable.

"Hurt?"

However, Jiang Chen's attention was not here at this time, because after seeing the wound on the captain's shoulder, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of worry.

"It's nothing, I was bitten by a bullet, don't worry!"

Don't look at the current captain's body size is a little fat, but when this captain was young, he was also a veteran who joined the army, and the old captain who was able to go back and forth on this route for more than ten years must be a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, otherwise ordinary people don't have such courage at all.

And after hearing Jiang Chen's caring greetings, the captain's heart also felt unusually warm.

"Poisonous bees, come here, there's a wounded person here that needs your attention!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen pressed his headset and immediately called Yu Fei over.

"Leave the matter here to us, you go and deal with the wound first, if there is anything, I will call you again!"

"Also, take your crew and quickly retreat to the safety cabin, with us here, you just need to wait for us to repel the pirates!"

After Yu Fei arrived, after seeing the wound on the captain's shoulder, although it was a penetrating wound and did not hurt the bones, Yu Fei still said that the captain's wound needed to be treated urgently.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen said to the captain who didn't want to go down.

"Captain, we are here, you go down to deal with the wound first!" Zhu Haofeng next to him also said.

After hearing this, the captain followed Yu Fei and went below to treat his wounds. At the same time, there are also those crew members who still want to be on the deck and help the joint operations team defend against pirates.

Although these crew members have received some anti-piracy training, the next thing is not something they can do. If it is not done well, if the next terrorists want to hijack the oil tanker again, they will directly use weapons, and in the meantime, it is very likely that they will pay the price of casualties. If these crew members continue to stay here, it is very likely that they will be injured, which is exactly what Jiang Chen does not want to see.

Under the persuasion of Jiang Chen and others, these crew members agreed to Jiang Chen's request, followed their captain, and hid in a safe place.

"You're all right, are you?"

At this time, Jiang Chen, who had just looked at this group of security teams, asked, from the outside, these people did not have much of a problem except for being a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, no one was injured, please give us a mission!"

Zhu Haofeng, who reacted quickly, straightened his chest and said, although he had been discharged from the army, several people still saluted Jiang Chen.

"Don't call me chief, I can't afford it!" Jiang Chen hurriedly explained when he heard that several people were still calling his chief.

After saying this, Jiang Chen, who turned around, said to Ye Mo, "Give them the prepared ammunition!"

"Understood!"

Ye Mo, who heard this, did not hesitate at all, and Ye Mo, who took off his backpack, took out a satchel from his backpack, which was filled with Bayi rifle magazines stuffed with live ammunition.

In the previous time, the escort group had already learned that the security team had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. Considering this, Zheng Mingchuan immediately asked the joint operations team to bring the weapons and ammunition provided to the security team, and the escort formation also learned about the weapons used by the security team from the security company.

"Although the pirates were successfully driven off the deck by us, they are still around the merchant ships, we are not manpowered, and I know that you have been holding out for hours, but..."

When Zhu Haofeng took the satchel, Jiang Chen couldn't help but explain, but before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Zhu Haofeng said: "This is our job, and it is our duty to protect oil tankers, there is nothing to retreat!"

"Alright, Crazy Shark, arrange them to the defense line, these pirates should be trying to get closer soon!" Seeing this, Jiang Chen stopped talking nonsense and said directly to Ye Mo.

While Jiang Chen was speaking, dozens of pirate speedboats still surrounding the merchant ships were still coveting this large piece of fat, although they were driven off the oil tanker by the Huaxia Navy just now, but as long as they were willing, it was still possible to regain control of the oil tanker, provided that they were willing to pay a price for casualties!

In the face of these thieves who are immortal, Jiang Chen also quickly made arrangements, and the addition of thirteen special combat team members has raised the defense line of the entire oil tanker by several levels, plus the five security personnel have sufficient ammunition, these pirates want to climb onto the merchant ship, I am afraid that they will have to hit their heads and break their blood.

"By the way, that..."

When Zhu Haofeng and the others were busy distributing ammunition, Zhu Haofeng, who thought of something, just wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to call Jiang Chen.

"Let's talk about things directly!" Jiang Chen, who was also aware of this, smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Okay!" Zhu Haofeng, who nodded, immediately spoke, "Before you arrived, the propeller of the oil tanker was entangled in the fishing nets of the pirates, and if you want the oil tanker to restart, you must send someone to clean the fishing nets on the propeller!"

Although Zhu Haofeng didn't finish his words, Jiang Chen had already understood the meaning of the other party's words, if you want the tanker to restart, you must clean up the propellers that are wrapped around the tanker, but if you want to send someone down to clean up the propeller, you must drive away all the pirates, otherwise if you let people go down to clean up now, you are sending these people to death.

However, after Jiang Chen heard this, he didn't pay attention to it at all, only to see Jiang Chen open his mouth and say: "Don't worry, one of the missile destroyers of our escort formation has already set off, and it won't take long to arrive here, and these pirates will naturally retreat obediently at that time!"

In fact, at this time, Jiang Chen had to admit in his heart what a wise choice it was for Zheng Mingchuan to send a missile destroyer to respond. Without this missile destroyer, unless all the pirates were killed, the pirates would not have retreated, and the tankers would not have regained momentum. When the time comes, the two sides will not know how long they will hold each other.

And now, this missile destroyer that is about to arrive is the biggest reliance in Jiang Chen's heart, without the support of this warship, Jiang Chen does not know how long he can hold out in the face of hundreds of pirates.

"Really, that's great!"

When he heard that there would be a warship that would arrive here in a short time, Zhu Haofeng's heart, which was still worried, instantly settled down.

Now Zhu Haofeng also has enough confidence to insist on the arrival of the warship on the side of the escort formation.

"Team leader, the pirates are trying to get closer again!"

At this time, accompanied by Nalan Jun's voice, Jiang Chen and the others, who were still talking, quickly became nervous.

As early as just now, Zhu Haofeng, who had already picked up the discarded Bayi rifle, after hearing this, neatly loaded the rifle with a new magazine, and then looked at Jiang Chen with blazing eyes.

"Crazy Shark, take them to the position immediately!" Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly ordered, and after thinking of something, Jiang Chen, whose expression became extremely solemn, spoke again, "Everyone pay attention, all actions must be based on their own safety, you must not fight hard with pirates, if you really can't hold on, you can call for support." If you can't hold on any longer, you can directly abandon your position and let the pirates climb up. There is no shame in being captured by pirates, desperate is the stupidest way, if we are really captured and the tankers are held hostage, our country will immediately rescue us!"

"Understood!"

Everyone who heard this also responded with solemn expressions.

"Sea eagle, send someone to place all the crew members, and when the search is over, quickly support our operation!" Jiang Chen quickly ordered.

"Sea eagles understand!"

In the cabin of the tanker, the sea eagle, who had already searched for most of the time, responded while continuing to search after hearing this.

"Let's get ready!"

Jiang Chen, who nodded, turned around and looked at the pirates outside the oil tanker, and after recuperating for a while, the pirates on Jiang Chen's side also began to move.

"Da Da Da Da..."

Not far away, the gunfire of the Nalan army had already sounded, and the pirates on the Nalan army's side couldn't bear the loneliness at first, and began to try to drive the speedboat, approaching the oil tanker.
