Chapter 420: Turning Point

In the middle of the night, calm was restored on Xinghua Island again, as if the fierce fire just now had not happened.

Alan stood in the landing craft with a cold expression.

This landing craft was docked by the American Marines on the beach of Xinghua Island and prepared to retreat, but they did not expect that under the fierce counterattack of the Xinghua Islanders, the soldiers of the American Marine Corps were almost wiped out.

But when Allen faced the corpses of these Marines who fell in front of him, he did not have any pity, on the contrary, he hated it very much.

Because, these people in front of them are not like ordinary pirates, they are well-trained, agile, orderly in advance and retreat, and they are very good at marksmanship, and at the same time they are good at covering each other, and fighting with them is completely different from fighting pirates. The pirates were in a hurry, and they would mess up the rules, so it would be easier to subdue, but these marines were more troublesome, so under the firefight, they caused serious damage to the soldiers of Xinghua Kingdom.

There were many casualties on Xinghua Island, which naturally made Allen hate the Marine Corps soldiers.

"General, the pirates on the island, have been cleared. At this moment, a Guards soldier walked up to Allen and reported to Allen about the situation on the island.

Alan nodded, in understanding. He no longer paid attention to the corpses that fell to the ground, but looked up at the sea in the distance and said, "Now, it's up to the performance of the gunboats on Xinghua Island." ”

The Xinghua Island gunboat that Allen said in his mouth refers to Yi Xingchen's special assignment to the waters near Xinghua Island to deal with Soma pirates. In fact, less than an hour after the pirates landed on Xinghua Island. In the waters around Xinghua Island, two patrol gunboats from Xinghua Island appeared.

Xinghua Island patrol gunboat, first commander Chu Wen. Chu Wen turned out to be a citizen of Xinghua Kingdom. When Yi Xingchen launched the restructuring policy in Xinghua State, when the surname was restructured, among the eight surnames launched, Chu Wen chose the surname "Chu" by himself, and then gave himself a name, Chu Wen.

After that, Xinghua Province intended to cultivate various qualities of the people. And Chu Wen also seized this opportunity, and after a series of studies, Chu Wen and several other Xinghua people with outstanding ability and relatively proficient in naval knowledge. He was selected as a reserve officer of the Xinghua Island Navy, and then began to form a maritime patrol team.

Then, Chu Wen was appointed commander of a gunboat because of his outstanding performance in the army.

Although this patrol mission. It's against pirate infestation. In the sense, it is not a real naval battle, but this is Chu Wen's first naval battle after all, so in his heart, he is both excited and nervous, and naturally attaches great importance to prudence.

According to the order issued by the king, the specific task of this patrol was to protect the gunboats on Xinghua Island. Try to drag the pirates as much as possible and not give the pirates a chance to attack Xinghua Island calmly. Just wait until another country's warship intervenes. Xinghua Island will be safe. The so-called warships of other countries, what Xinghua Island can count on are China's ocean-going warships, the Madagascar Navy, or the Reunion Navy.

Among the three, China's ocean-going warships are the most reliable for Xinghua. However, although Hua Guo also said that it would immediately dispatch the nearest fleet to Xinghua Island to support, because Hua Guo was the farthest away from Xinghua Island, it would take a while to wait for their arrival; and although the latter two were relatively close, neither of these countries showed the same clear attitude as Hua Guo, and at present, the diplomats of Xinghua Island could only actively negotiate with these two countries and try their best to obtain their assistance.

Of course, although the attitude of these two countries is not clear, in any case, the countries of Madagascar and Rénia, even if they are in the interests of their own countries, will not allow pirate gangs to exist in their maritime areas for a long time and pose a threat to their own countries. In addition, these two countries will naturally not provide supplies to the pirates. Therefore, even if they are not willing to spend their own troops to unite Xinghua Island against pirates, at the very least, they will definitely not collude with pirates.

What's more, since pirates are bandits, the code of conduct must be money first and profit first. Today, they came to Xinghua Island to loot for the sake of Xinghua Ring, so as long as it was profitable, the pirates would also be able to increase their size nearby, and by the way, they would plunder the merchant ships of Madagascar and Rénia. Therefore, these two countries naturally have to guard against it.

All in all, it will be a foregone conclusion that the pirates will leave empty-handed.

On this basis, the gunboats of Xinghua Island attacked and harassed the joint gunboats of the pirates, and there was another purpose, which was to show the strength of Xinghua Island, so that the pirates would weigh their own strength next time and not dare to come again.

"Enemy ships entered the range of attack. Next to the radar, an officer said.

Chu Wen gave an order without hesitation: "As soon as you aim, fire the cannon!"

The gunboats of Xinghua Island attacked the pirate gunboats.

Instead of tangling head-on with the pirate's gunboats, the patrol gunboat fleet on Xinghua Island constantly attacked the pirate warships with raid tactics. According to the battle plan formulated by Xinghua Kingdom, as long as the gunboats on Xinghua Island were not damaged, the pirate gunboats, when they were tired of dealing with Xinghua gunboats, naturally could not let go of their hands and feet and effectively support the pirates who landed on Xinghua Island. After distracting the pirate gunboats, the Xinghua soldiers on the island were able to concentrate on dealing with the pirates on the island and destroying them.

Sazima's flagship was one of the targets of the Xinghua gunboats, and under the repeated attacks of the Xinghua gunboats, his flagship was shaken.

Sazima was apprehensive at the moment, because just now, the enemy's shell almost hit their flagship. In the dark of night, he couldn't even tell where the other party was.

Sazima was horrified: "Where did they come from?!"

"They should be hiding nearby. "The men report to Sazima.

"How many boats are there?" asked Sazima again.

"The radar showed two, but it was not possible to determine if they still had reinforcements. The subordinate replied.

Saqima panicked, and he immediately ordered the other two gunboats to attack the gunboats on Xinghua Island in a one-on-one manner. At the very least, to expel these two gunboats. Then, Sazima turned to the pirates who landed on Xinghua Island. A signal was given to evacuate.

Sazima worries about long nights and dreams. The two gunboats of Xinghua Island have been attacking them from the left and close, so they are now. There is no way to support the pirates who have landed. Not only that, but they couldn't even take the initiative to pick up the pirates. Therefore, what Sazima can do at this moment is to hurry up and try to get back the pirates who have landed as safe as possible.

At this time, Sazima can only hope. The pirates who landed on Xinghua Island have already robbed Xinghua Island, and they will not return empty-handed this time.

Huh......

Communicators on the corsair contacted the landing craft. There was no response from the communication channel, and there was no response from the pirates who landed on the island.

Sazimaton was not feeling good, and he ordered the communicator to continue radio contact.

In addition, observers are dispatched. Use a telescope to observe the situation on Hyehwa Island.

But. There was only a vague outline of Xinghua Island, and they couldn't see any lights at all.

Saqima decided to send another spare speedboat to Xinghua Island.

There is a ship in the pirate team that has also discovered anomalies on the island.

The ship was the intelligence center platform of the American Navy, and they received information from Lieutenant Commander Dupont.

At this time, on the large screen of the ship's control center, there was a real-time picture of Lieutenant Colonel Dupont's retreat. It was pitch black.

"Lieutenant Colonel Dupont, it should be sacrificed. We should leave immediately. An Intelligence Agency agent said.

"We must save them! they are our comrades!" objected the naval officer

"Our mission. It's to bring the information back. Once we in the United States of America participate in piracy and the looting of a region is exposed, the damage to our American nation is incomparably great. The intelligence agent said.

"Operation Falcon failed, we retreat!" the commander of the ship had to give the order to retreat. The gunboats of Xinghua Island appeared, they could not continue to stay here, and they had to get out of the pirate team as soon as possible. Moreover, real-time information shows that Lieutenant Colonel DuPont they have failed. The commander can't be presumptuous and go on with it.

The U.S. Navy mobile intelligence ship began to turn its bow and evacuate the pirate ranks.

Sazima, who had been keeping an eye on him, soon discovered the movements of the ships of the American Navy.

"They must have gotten some news, or they wouldn't have evacuated voluntarily. Sazima was unhappy with the abandonment of the United States. But he really couldn't complain in front of them.

"Ask why they evacuated. Sazima said to the correspondent and asked him to ask about the American ships.

After a while, Sazima got an excuse to evacuate temporarily.

In this regard, Sazima quickly assessed the situation and found that the two pirate gunboats were simply powerless against the Xinghua Island gunboats.

There was no gain from this large-scale piracy operation, and Sazima was reluctant to leave. As soon as he leaves, he proves that he has failed. This was a great blow to his reputation.

Looking at the approaching pirate speedboat, Sazima gave another order!

"Shelling Xinghua Island!"

"Chief, there are still our people on the island. ”

"No, no, if they were still alive, he should have contacted me with a liaison, and they didn't, either they mutinied or were caught. ”

Sazima regained his true nature as a pirate leader, and did not care about the lives of the pirates on the island. He wanted to confirm one thing, that is, whether all the pirates on Xinghua Island were dead. If they all died, then the attack on Xinghua Island could be a trap, and this raid was a complete failure.

No one dared to question Sazima's decision.

Soon, new shells were reloaded and fired again.

Boom!

"Quick! Hide in the basement of the air raid. Alan shouted. Every soldier of Xinghua is a precious treasure of Xinghua Kingdom, and he does not want them to die under the attack of artillery shells.

The reshelling of the pirate gunboats was something that Allen did not expect.

Everyone hid in the basement of the second layer of the air raid, and Alan counted the number of people, and was immediately annoyed.

Including the people who died in the first and second underground passages, they still lost twenty-two Guards soldiers, and they will never wake up again.

This made Allen feel sad, they were all elite soldiers of Xinghua Kingdom.

For the enemies who seek to prosper the wealth of the country, Allen hates it even more.

After a while, the pirate speedboat sent back the news that they did not dare to approach the port of Xinghua Island.

However, they did not find nothing, they observed the pirate landing craft from a distance and did not find a single pirate. They found a signal, and there was no response. It can be preliminarily determined that the pirates who landed on the island were completely wiped out.

After receiving this news, Sazima did not hesitate and immediately ordered the pirate team to evacuate the waters of Xinghua Island. He wasn't sure if there were any traps that awaited them.

The pirate procession, under the orders of Sazima, turned the bow of the ship and began to return home. The pirate gunboats that were chasing the two Xinghua Island gunboats also gave up and returned home.

On the Xinghua Island gunboat, Chu Wen wanted to continue to pester the pirate gunboat.

However, when he saw the pirate gunboats retreating, he first had to ensure the safety of Xinghua Island.

The gunboats of Xinghua Island are very important, they are the main force to ensure the calm of the sea area of Xinghua Island, and they must not lose anything. At the very least, they need to retain their strength until the island nation buys more warships and defensive equipment.

In fact, the pirate detachment split when Sazima gave the order to retreat.

The reason is very simple, that is, the elite forces of these small pirate gangs have rushed into Xinghua Island, and they cannot afford to lose these manpower. Without these men, they will fall and eventually join the Somal pirates or other pirate organizations. This is unacceptable to them!

Not long after, some of them were small pirate ships with only heavy machine guns, leaving the Sazima pirate team to rescue their people on Xinghua Island.

Sazima ignored them and ordered the gunboats to leave quickly.

Chu Wen's lack of pursuit of the pirate gunboats does not mean that he can tolerate some small miscellaneous pirates. He ordered the gunboats, at all costs, to attack the small pirate ship.

To clean up the pirates in the waters of Xinghua Island, not a single ship wants to stay.

"Stop chasing the pirate gunboats! Clean up all the pirate ships in the waters of Xinghua Island!" Chu Wen ordered. There is another important reason why Chu Wen issued this order, that is, the king of Xinghua Kingdom, after a few hours, will return to Xinghua Island through the space passage.

In order to provide a safe environment for the king, Chu Wen wanted to ensure the safety of Xinghua Island, and could not tolerate any pirates, and continued to stay in the waters of Xinghua Island.

Leaving the waters of Xinghua Island, Sazima did not feel relaxed at all.

Disturbing radio waves, constantly haunting them.

Some of the pirates who followed Sazima on his return journey were outraged by Sazima's orders. They could not understand Sazima's concerns.

However, Sazima was originally a big pirate leader, and he didn't pay attention to these small pirate groups at all.

He was still thinking about one thing, and that was why did the Americans leave?

The Americans took the initiative to evacuate, which did not at all match Sazima's impression of the American Intelligence Service. (To be continued.) )
