Chapter 286: You're Within My Range
Pointing to the identification signal on the radar screen, the two crew members of the original fishing boat kindly reminded An Feng: "If there is really something, it is better to ask for help from the Russians than quickly." For example, you want to ...... this, this one."
In this crackdown on bandits, warships of various countries told nearby fishing boats their identification signals, so bright spots were displayed on the radar screens, and computers would mark the country to which the warships belonged according to the identification signals sent by the other side.
"If you encounter pirate robbery, call for help from domestic warships...... You know, if our warships want to open fire, they need to ask for instructions and reports at all levels, and even ask the top leaders of the central government, and when the fire is approved from above, the orders are issued layer by layer, and the Somali pirates have also gone home. So......
Well, don't say that. You just have to remember: if something happens, no matter how far away the Russian warship is from you, hurry up and call them for help, the first to arrive must be this group, the Russians never worry about wasting fuel, and always move at full speed when they hear the sound of gunfire...... Hey. ”
Before the fisherman's words fell, three fast-moving highlights suddenly appeared on the radar screen.
These three bright spots came out of the reef bushes, and soon after they broke out of the reef bushes, the ship's machine guns quickly fired several shots at the fishing boat, and the impact point of the cannonballs fell on the sea near the fishing boats, and the original fishermen on the boat reached out to press the siren, but ...... His wrist was immediately grabbed by An Feng.
At this time, several commandos had already rushed out of the captain's room, one commando set up a remote bug like a rifle, and the rushing fishing boat emitted a beam of ultrasound, and the other commandos turned on the military computer in the captain's room, one military computer was connected to a space satellite, and the satellite displayed the fishing boats and warships in the nearby waters on the screen, while the other computer received the situation reflected by the military radar.
The commando in charge of eavesdropping on the pirate ship immediately reacted to the conversation on the pirate ship: "Aha, the three pirate ships that came here have a little disagreement with each other, these three pirate ships were jointly purchased by eleven villages, and each pirate ship thought that it could eat us alone, so they didn't agree to participate in sharing the spoils with others." ”
An Feng let go of the crew's arms and said to them gently, "Full speed ahead, leave this sea area as soon as possible." ”
The crew shook their heads and said with a pale face: "I can't escape, they are all high-speed speedboats, specially modified ......"
An Feng ignored the crew's words, and at this time, another computer communicated the results of the commando eavesdropping, and at the same time contacted the command center of the intelligence agency, An Feng reported to his superiors: "There are three pirate ships, should I ask for help from the warship responsible for clearing the pirates now?" ”
Ryan flatly refused: "The munitions ship still has two hours to sail into the nearby waters, and this kind of speedboat purchased by a small fishing village with funds should not pose any threat to you, you must quietly and quickly deal with them, and you must not disturb the munitions ship." ”
At this time, the fishing boat was still moving at full speed, and An Feng asked the commandos: "Do we wait for the pirates to come on board to fight in close combat, or do we snipe from a distance." ”
This is actually asking the commandos about the fire setup.
The commando who was asked shook his head: "There are three machine guns on the three pirate ships, and our fire cannot resist the machine guns, so it is better to ...... Put them close and fight again. ”
A commando next to him interjected: "I know the reason why you chose this fishing boat, this kind of fishing boat is only allowed to be equipped with kitchen knives, Somali pirates generally do not damage such ships, they will rush to the boat, capture the boat intact, and then tow it home, along with the fishing boat to sell...... Rest assured, pirates take care of their property. ”
On the sea, the three pirate ships seemed to argue with the result, the two pirate ships gradually slowed down, they went around in circles, and went to find new prey, the remaining pirate ship even omitted the cannon, they cherished their ammunition very much, and when the pirate ship caught up with the fishing boat, the pirates did not shoot, and directly threatened the crew to stop the ship with their horns
The pirates' words translate to this: if the crew obediently stops the ship, the pirates allow the crew to sit in the lifeboat and leave with enough fresh water and food, otherwise the pirates will kill all the crew members once they board the ship.
This threat is usually very effective, because such "kitchen knife fishing boats" have no resistance, and if they can't outrun the pirate ship with speed alone, they can only obediently stop the ship and let the other party rob the crew for a moment of camouflage, and reluctantly reduce the speed of the ship.
But there are surprises in everything, and just as the commandos were getting ready, one of the commandos muttered in a low voice: "Fuck, the Russians are here to join in the fun." ”
An Feng's fishing boat did not send a distress signal, but the radar of the Russian warship was very powerful, and suddenly spotted the high-speed boat approaching another obviously slower boat, and they immediately rushed towards the vicinity.
The warship is a thing, the naval guns on it are different from the army guns, and the firing range is super far and long.
At this moment, there was no Russian warship in sight on the nearby sea, and the Somali pirate just now was still a few hull distances away before it could get close to the fishing boat, and the guns of the Russian warship had already caught the urgency and fired a warning shot outside the line of sight -- I saw a huge cannonball fall on the nearby sea, and the explosion set off a huge wave more than 10 meters high, the waves were boiling, and the sea water was turbulent and agitated.
The body of the fishing boat is large, and it can be stable after swaying for a while, the pirate ship is small, and people are pursuing high speed, and the waves are heavy, and the pirate ship is like a dead leaf hitting the side of the hull of the fishing boat, and then it is quickly bounced away from the fishing boat by reaction.
This is not the time to rob, the Somali pirates know that the Russians have a penchant for killing pirates, and even if the pirates capture the fishing boat, the Russian navy will be very happy, because in this way, they have two targets: one is a fishing boat and the other is a pirate ship.
Before the Russian navy was on the horizon, the pirates quickly turned their ships around and fled the fishing boat as fast as they could, preparing to re-enter the reef and then hide themselves and shiver for a while.
At this time, a heavy cannon fell again on the sea.
Both the front and rear shells fell at a slightly greater distance from the fishing boat, which had little effect on the hull of the fishing boat, but ...... This is the routine shooting range of the Russian Navy, both shells show the maximum range of the Russian naval guns, and the impact point of the shells falls on the sea in the distance, but in fact, this is to show the pirates: you are already within my range.
What can a fishing boat do at the moment? That is to turn the bow of the ship and escape from the pirate ship as soon as possible.
Because the naval artillery fire of the Russians was barbaric.
Sure enough, when the pirate ship distanced itself from the fishing boat, the dense naval guns of the Russian army immediately flew in. On the surface of the sea where the pirates were, the sea water suddenly seemed to be boiling. Shells were fired one after the other, covering the sea area at intervals of one every thirty seconds......
With such a dense number of shells, of course, the pirate ship was not spared, and it is not clear how many shells hit the pirate ship, and the entire pirate ship broke in half, and the stern of the hull stuck into the water and began to sink slowly.
However, the Russians did not stop firing, and the shells continued to fall one after another in the nearby seas...... Well, it is said that a Russian warship, pouring 100,000 rounds of bullets and shells on the wreckage of Somali pirates, successfully completed the task assigned by the commander of the Russian Navy, and after returning home, every Russian naval soldier who participated in the war was awarded a medal.
Therefore, even if the Somali pirate ship has sunk, even if the Somali pirates have no bones, as long as the Russian Navy's interest in shooting remains undiminished and the "battle" continues, what An Feng can do is to escape from this sea area as soon as possible to prevent being accidentally injured.
In the distance, the Russian warship appeared on the horizon in a menacing manner, they sank a corsair, still looking unfinished, at this time although the shelling stopped, but the side of the ship was full of sailors, the sailors used AK4s to strafe the empty sea, and the light signal from the Russian warship was still asking: "Where are the other two pirate ships?" ”
To tell the truth, at this moment, the international joint anti-piracy operation team is very helpless against the Russians, and the intelligence agencies of various countries are also helpless against this group of Russians.
An Feng reluctantly sent out a light signal, pointing out the direction in which the other two pirate ships disappeared, so the Russian warships with heavy gunfire rushed past An Feng's fishing boats, and the guns and cannons rushed in the direction of the Somali pirates disappearing......
According to the agreement between him and Ryan, after An Feng came to this sea area by boat, he threw the fishing net into the sea, making a big fat sheep to lure pirates to come over and rob.
It is said that the local pirates like to rob such a "kitchen knife boat" that is fishing, because the fishing net is thrown in the sea, the speed of the ship can not be raised, the pirates do not need to be very high, the fuel consumption is not too large can easily climb onto the fishing ship, and because the crew on the ship is equipped with kitchen knives purchased by real name at most, so the pirates do not even need to shoot, as long as the weapon in their hands is flashed at the crew, they can complete the robbery.
In addition, most kitchen knife boats are not wealthy, a pair of fishing nets in the hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, when casting nets to fish, the owner is easy to refuse to give up the fishing nets in the sea, so the pirates can easily complete their own robbery
The pirates didn't know that the current weapon on the ship was not a kitchen knife, and the original plan was: after those pirates boarded the ship, the commandos would use their weapons to teach the group of pirates a lesson, and then send a routine distress signal, and the warships hiding nearby would immediately pounce on them to "rescue". Of course, because of the robbery in the area, it is customary for the military to conduct temporary searches of ships sailing into the area......
In this way, the munitions ship was naturally intercepted.
After the smuggling arms full of ships are exposed, it will naturally attract the attention of various countries, and then the intelligence agencies will push the boat down the river to promote the investigation of the smuggling case, of course, the investigation is not the goal, and the final goal of this operation is to send a large number of armed personnel and agents to the place in the name of investigation. Unfortunately, all this was disrupted by an overexcited Russian warship.
After the end of the Chechen war, Putin, who was the president at the time, deeply felt that an army could not temper its combat effectiveness just by folding quilts in a competition, after all, the confrontation between the two armies was not to judge who won by looking at whose quilts were folded neatly, and victory also needed to be won with real knives and guns, so the Russian army was looking for opportunities to exercise with real knives and guns all over the world. The Somali anti-bandit operation originally did not involve the Russian army, but there was a chance to fight and the army of that country was unwilling.
As a result, not only did the Russian warship come, but every time someone else moved, it always robbed the monster on the side, and made more noise than anyone else.
As soon as the Russian warship opened fire, basically the pirates in the nearby waters died down, and most of the pirates heard the fierce gunfire, and most of them took the policy of going home to wash and sleep, they knew that today's harvest was absolutely not to think about it, and if they wanted to save their lives, they had to slip away quickly.
The nearby bandit warships knew the temperament of the Russians, and when they heard the sound of gunfire here, a French warship also knew that a telegram had been sent to inquire about it, and the Italian warship pouted and sailed away from the sea. The Indian warship also left silently pouting, and as for the US warship hidden nearby, they were very depressed: whether to cancel today's operation.
An Feng was also here thinking about what to do next.
Satellite imagery showed that the munitions had stopped moving forward, and that they were out of the area where the accident had occurred, seemingly hesitating whether to move forward or where to hide for a while.
While pondering, the fishing boat driven by An Feng was about to sail out of this sea area...... There was no way, the Russians' artillery fire was too ferocious, so in order not to be injured by mistake, An Feng could only drive away. But the Russians are also making a mistake, they seem to be practicing artillery cover tactics, An Feng just left a certain area, the sea behind him was immediately covered with shells, he could only be driven by Russian artillery fire, running farther and farther.
At this time, judging from the satellite images, many ships on the sea seemed to be stuck in the local area - not only did the munitions ship stop in a daze, but An Feng was also pondering what to do next.
Ditch your nets and pretend to fish? …… Is it still useful to do this now?
Turning around and heading directly towards the munitions ship...... The sea is vast, the chase on the sea is the most boring, the speed of the two ships is about the same, you can look at each other's masts for ten days and a half months, no matter how hard you try, the two masts are not much close.
But work is work
An Feng was stunned for a while, and decided: Even if it is useless, he must do it.
He ordered the two fishermen to turn the bow of the boat and re-enter the sea area covered by Russian artillery fire.
Even if there were schools of fish here, they were frightened away by the fierce artillery fire, but the shelling also stunned and destroyed some small fish, and the smell of blood on the sea surface made the sharks smell blood, and they swam to this sea from hundreds of kilometers away...... It's a pity that this fishing boat is not a shark fishing boat.
Silently, An Feng walked through this silent sea, where the sea was very vigorous, including the sediment on the seabed that had been stirred up by shells, the coral reefs that had been shattered, and the fish heads and fish maws that had been blown to pieces. So far, An Feng's fishing boat has not dropped the net, and what he caught in the net at this time may be mutilated fish carcasses.
Tomorrow, however, it will be a killing ground for fish, because the sea violently shakes up, stirring up the plants on the seabed, filling the sea with all kinds of nutrients, and when the sun rises, schools of fish from near and far will gather here to kill and devour each other.
Of course, all distant-water fishing vessels know this common sense, so after a while, five or six distant-water fishing boats converged on this area, and they also did not have nets, but quietly anchored near this area, waiting for the sea to return to clarity, waiting for all kinds of fish to enter this area.
At this time, the radar on each fishing boat is very busy, because there is a lot of clutter in the seawater, and the sonar device keeps beeping, sometimes the sonar signals of several fishing boats touch together, and the horn of the fishing boat will emit a sharp superimposed sound wave, which is very high-pitched and shocks people's heads.
Within an hour, An Feng's fishing boat slowly passed through the sea that had been churned by artillery fire, and on the satellite image, the munitions boat showed no signs of moving at all.
At this time, in fact, the munitions ship and An Feng's fishing boat were within the detection range of each other's radars, and An Feng sailed through the churning sea, which is understandable, for example, An Feng wanted to survey on the spot and find a suitable location for netting.
Although there are five or six large ocean-going fishing boats in the nearby waters, everyone is far away from each other, and each boat has enough space for fishing nets between each other, and when An Feng was driving on the sea just now, those boats tacitly left an empty seat for An Feng.
However, An Feng's fishing boat hesitated to enter the net position, but immediately gave up this opportunity and sailed away without stopping...... This strange movement was reflected on the radar screens of each ship, making the captains slightly stunned. Immediately, various condolence messages were sent one after another.
Some of the fishing boats waiting nearby asked An Feng if there were any wounded on the boat, and they were willing to provide medical medicine; Others asked if the nets on Anfeng's boat were damaged, and they provided spare nets on the spot - of course, not for free.
An Feng's fishing boat kept the radio silent and continued to sail into the distance, and soon after, the nature of the condolence message changed, and some fishing boats asked An Feng if there were any pirates left on his boat, whether there were pirates who hijacked the fishing boat, and some boats sent a signal to nearby warships, claiming that An Feng's fishing boat was suspicious......
At this time, the munitions ship on the radar screen finally moved, and the other party seemed to see the dense fishing boats in this area on the radar screen, so the munitions ship turned slightly and headed in the direction of Zanzibar Island -- the direction in which it was heading was Gunship Island, to which Zanzibar Island belonged.
Gunship Island belongs to a French tycoon, the shape of the whole island is a scorpion, from a high altitude overlook, it looks like a huge battleship, the head is sharp, the cliffs on both sides are almost parallel, the tail is square, so it is named "Warship Island".
