Chapter 99: Rocket Test Firing

His words were very contagious, because the interview was as usual and he was not nervous, and the big guy thought to himself that it would not be an improvised exercise, right? Why else would you make such an exaggeration? Seventy or eighty people still have guns and cannons, and you are not afraid? What do you have? Just those bows and arrows? Don't be funny, what age is this? The Spanish pirates used cannons back then, okay?

"Well, Ah Sheng, you are in charge of your escort team, carry out the guard mission, and issue a warning once you spot pirates, remember not to panic. And that big black man, yes, it's your brother, you are responsible for leading the crew, everything is up to him....", he said and pointed at Li Haibo: "Everything is under his command, get our rocket artillery ready, ready to launch at any time." Wang Feng said.

"Yes, but Boss, we still have water cannons, faucets, some gasoline bottles, and iron guns, should we get ready?" asked the big black man. "Don't use that, once the pirate's boat approaches the cargo ship, Ah Sheng, and you big black man, you will immediately take your people into the safe cabin to wait for rescue, and don't come out if you are killed, do you understand?" Wang Feng said.

When the big guy heard this, he didn't have to fight with pirates, but are you seven of you the opponents of other pirates? Do you want to fight to the death with pirates, right?" "Brother Wang, I think it's good that you can also enter the safety cabin with us, and you don't have to fight hard with them." Ah Sheng said kindly.

"Your job is to drive the ship to protect the ship, our job is to protect you, the division of labor is different, just do your own duty, don't worry, it's okay, when the pirates run away, I'll contact you, remember our password, right? Wang Feng said with a smile.

Wang Feng is not forced to calm himself, he is really not panicked at all, he has experienced too many such scenes, not to mention a group of pirates who may be exaggerated, even if it is a well-equipped professional special forces with helicopter gunships, he and his brothers have been repelled, this is a fart, that is, naval warfare is not Wang Feng's forte, if you want to be on land, he will go directly to the other party first.

Everyone didn't seem to be nervous when they saw Wang Feng and the expressionless guys, and their mood was a little relaxed. Although these guys seem to be very fierce at the look, the more fierce they are, isn't it a good appointment? It's better to be more fierce than the pirates, bite all the pirates to death, and then you can brag to the big guys when you go back———— pirates?

Last night, those two guys looked like they were hard bones, but Wang Feng and they all cried and shouted before they used waterboarding, saying that there would be their people in ambush in the sea area where the freighter passed this afternoon, they were actually bandits gathered on a small island, and they were also semi-professional pirates, not only hijacking freighters but also hijacking passenger ships, kidnapping hostages, robbing property, and that's it.

Strictly speaking, these guys can't be taken lightly, because there are a lot of professional military guys from Myanmar, and they don't play with guns. And they bought a lot of weapons from the black market by hijacking huge sums of money, and their strength is really strong. The chieftain, also said to be Burmese, was also a former leader of an armed force in the territory that was later eliminated by government forces.

But whether these two guys are still inextricably linked to the forces in Myanmar is unknown. What they said should also be true, because Wang Feng said it, telling the truth still has a fate, if it is false, even if the pirates attack, they must first cut off their heads and throw them into the sea, both of them are veterans, and with experience, Wang Feng doesn't feel like he is joking with them.

Li Haibo's rocket artillery has already been set up, arranged on both sides of the ship, the freighter is too large, and the maneuverability after the war is almost zero, so it can only be fixed in the best firing position, since the other side has rocket artillery, then the angle must be selected in a place where the rocket artillery cannot hit. But this is actually a lot of consideration, these pirates may not have the ability to do this, and they can only bombard the hull.

It's calm at this point, which is not a good thing, and for the pirate's dinghy, it is their advantage. However, for Li Haibo's unique firearm rocket artillery, it is also an advantage, otherwise its accuracy will be really worrying. The rocket has prepared a lot, it can be said that there is plenty of ammunition, all of them are stainless steel arrow shafts, hard plastic tails, and the stability is still good in theory.

The * on the arrow shaft plus the arrow, the weight is not small, the range can be farther, and in order to be convenient to use, to meet the requirements of actual combat, Li Haibo uses trigger blasting, which is full of power and saves a lot of links, but the safety is much worse, and the things he came up with improvised cannot always involve safety pins, right?

Each group has a total of 30 branches, which belong to cluster launches, and the theoretical effective coverage has reached 30 square meters. In fact, the principle of his rocket launcher is the so-called three-bed bow and crossbow in our ancient times, which is similar to the legendary stepping arrow.

But unlike back then, they were fired with pulleys and mechanical assistance, or a single one of these crossbows would require at least dozens of people to operate. Li Haibo told someone to drop a lifeboat, and he wanted to test it himself, but of course the * on the arrow was replaced by something else of the same weight.

When the lifeboat floated to about four or five hundred meters, Li Haibo adjusted his sights and launched a wave, and in the whooshing sound, thirty rockets broke through the air, which was really a bit of a rocket artillery Katyusha. But the landing point was a little farther away, and a few dozen meters in front of the boat fell into the sea, and it seems that the range of this guy is still underestimated.

Another wave was launched, and it still didn't hit, but the distance was already very close, and the nearest one was only a few meters away from the lifeboat, which was already quite accurate, and the crew sighed regretfully, Wang Feng and Wu Xiaojun and several of their experts all had their eyes shining, I rely on it, the mighty and majestic Li Haibo squad leader, this is too awesome, right? This is the second test launch!

From theory to production to test firing, Li Haibo only took one night, and the effect is simply incredible. Theoretically, this accuracy has fully met the requirements of actual combat. What I don't know now is how powerful the rocket is, but listening to Li Haibo's meaning, it seems to be very powerful.

Li Haibo adjusted the sight and hit the target on the third day, which is a god-like operation. The crew cheered loudly, this thing has been seen in TV dramas and movies before, I didn't expect it to be so awesome, even if there is no explosion, it can shoot the people on the pirate boat, sure enough, this is a bunch of awesome, I don't know where the company found it? The weapons are so kind!

Li Haibo was not so happy, he thought of at least a dozen things that needed to be improved in his mind, but now it was useless to think about this, the conditions on the ship were limited, and time did not allow him to do any modifications. He thought about it and told Wang Feng that it would be better to fire the two rocket launchers together, so that the power would be strong enough, and the chance of hitting would be greatly improved.

Wang Feng thought about it for a while and agreed, in fact, he also realized this problem, now this guy can only be controlled and launched by Li Haibo himself, it is not difficult for him to operate two units alone, and it will form a theoretical continuous firepower, of course, the power has been greatly enhanced, it seems that it can only be used by surprise at that time, or once the other party finds out and evases, it will be difficult to do.

So he beckoned the big guy to transfer the other door over, just now Li Haibo didn't bother to insist on pretending to be wheels for this thing, isn't this just used, or these hundreds of pounds of guys are still a little difficult to carry, and they have to use a small crane. But Wang Feng knew Li Haibo's considerations, this kid doesn't like to be honest and doesn't like to be loud, he has a powerful brain.

Li Haibo not only added wheels, but also installed a very thick steel plate in front of the rocket, and the big guys didn't know that this thing was a fart at that time? It wasn't a heavy machine gun cannon, so what did it mean? It was weird that it was heavy. But Wang Feng knew Li Haibo's good intentions, don't forget that this is a bow and crossbow, although it is a long-range attack weapon, but who said that it can't be used in melee combat on the ship?

The two rocket launchers were a good fighting fortress, and the steel armor was enough to withstand large-caliber rifle bullets. It's enough to snipe the enemies that come on board. And what's even more awesome is that this thing can still move, and there is a circlip device, which can be adjusted at any time, and it can be used as a small armored car, right?

Li Haibo, do you know that you kid is so awesome? Wang Feng was happy in his heart, even happier than when he repelled the pirates, talent, can he not be happy to be the leader of such a talent under his command? What is combat quality, this is called quality. Li Haibo, this kid is not only an explosives expert, but also a material for leading troops, and with this meticulous tactical thinking, he can be in charge alone.

With a shrill whistle, Ah Sheng panted and ran over to report, a suspicious fishing boat was found a few kilometers away on the starboard side, and the fishing boat sent a distress signal, although the situation is unknown, but Ah Sheng is also an old sailor, he knows that this is a common trick of pirates, they often use this way to paralyze passing ships, once the captain is inexperienced, he will be deceived.

This hand was particularly bad, and was hated by all the crew, because in the future, if a passing ship encounters a shipwreck, it may be killed. Wang Feng took out his binoculars and observed for a while, and found that there was a person standing on the railing of the fishing boat waving an orange flag vigorously, but there were many people hidden under the boat, as well as two small boats looming behind them.

"All the crew went back to the cabin, all the doors were closed, and we used walkie-talkies to communicate. Right now. Wang Feng put down the binoculars and ordered. Ah Sheng and the big black man were still a little hesitant: "Either the two of us stay and help, even if it's a help." Wang Feng said with a smile: "No need, this is our business, you restrain your respective crews, don't miss it, don't be nervous." ”

Knowing that the situation was critical, the two stopped talking, and according to the previous exercise regulations, they immediately took everyone to the safety cabin, but the people in the engine room and the wheelhouse were still sticking to their posts. Neither the captain nor Wang Feng gave the order to shut down the power or cut off the power, and it seems that the freighter still needs to be kept sailing. The alarm and distress signal was also sent out, and the nearby warships rushed over when they received it.

This is the basic procedure for encountering pirates, generally speaking, it is to hide in the safety cabin and shut down the power, the pirates have no way to enter the safety cabin after coming up, and they dare not stay for too long, and there is no hostage in their hands, so they can only be forced to leave, of course, the theory is so, the actual situation is much more complicated.
