Chapter 522: Westland Crisis (4)
Not long after Yang Chen led people out of the city, the rebels' armored vehicles chased out one after another, the roof of the car was full of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and there were two old-fashioned armed helicopters in the air, condescendingly locking Yang Chen's jumping route, guiding the large army all the way to the east, in close pursuit.
Kill all the royal family.
The forces that launched the coup d'Γ©tat reached a consensus that only in this way could the Nuwasi dynasty be completely overthrown, and the most solid foundation for the country's democracy and freedom could be laid.
The 30-kilometre stretch of road connecting the city to the harbor is a life-and-death chase, and even the most old-fashioned helicopters are faster than armoured vehicles.
The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing.
A helicopter fired a rocket exploded on the road in front of the side of the armored vehicle, and the smoke and dust were churning and the sound was terrifying, and the wheeled armored vehicle violently bumped twice, rushed out of the fire and smoke, and continued to gallop, and the serpentine maneuver, increasing the difficulty of aiming the gunship.
But under the continuous bombardment of rockets, the two armored vehicles were in danger, Yang Chen's people couldn't bear it, opened the top cover, drilled out half of their bodies, manipulated the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and fought back, fired more than 100 bullets, shot down one, and the buddy who operated the gun waved his fist excitedly.
However, Lady Luck did not always accompany Yang Chen's group, the rocket fired by another helicopter hit the rear of the second armored car, the armored car trembled violently, and was engulfed by the flames generated by the explosion, the speed of the car plummeted, slowly stopped, and the fire burned.
"Something happened to the brother in the back!"
The man who operated the anti-aircraft machine gun in the car in front told everyone in the car the bad news, and Yang Chen said without hesitation: "Go back and see if there are any brothers alive." β
"Boss, it's too dangerous!" Long San hurriedly said, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was worried that Yang Chen would be in danger.
"Go back!" Yang Chen was extremely resolute, experienced countless baptisms of bullets and bullets, never abandoned his living comrades, the man driving the armored car no longer hesitated, braked, turned the front of the car, returned to the accident site, and the seven old men jumped out of the car to save people and rescued the only survivor from the driver's seat.
"Boss, you go, leave me alone." The man covered in blood and burned in many places broke free from the support of his comrades, and did not leave, Yang Chen wanted to forcibly take him away, he took out a pistol while sitting on the ground, pressed against his temple, and said stubbornly: "Boss, don't force me to commit suicide, I must stay and avenge my dead brother." β
Rumble!
The helicopter that destroyed the armored car fell to the ground and exploded, and the man who operated the machine gun chewed gum and waved his fist again, eliminating the air threat for everyone.
"Revenge, you can go."
"Boss, that's not enough."
Yang Chen stared at the still stubborn man and nodded regretfully.
The armored car drove away, and the wounded man hung the grenades that he was going to come with his brothers, lay on the road and pretended to be dead, and when the pursuing convoy arrived, he coldly raised his gun and fired at the unsuspecting rebels, killing all seven or eight soldiers on the roof of the first armored car.
More than a dozen grenades exploded, tearing his body apart and paralyzing the wheeled armored car at the same time.
The man who regards death as his home loses his life to win precious time for his brothers and comrades-in-arms, which is his real purpose.
Yang Chen got out of the roof of the car, looked at the place where the smoke rose behind the car with a sad face, and another iron-clad hero died for him, and his mood was inevitably heavy.
Westland's changes came too violently, beyond what he expected, otherwise how could he be so embarrassed, he is a mortal after all, and he can't do everything like a god.
How to continue to achieve the results he had envisioned before he frowned and pondered.
The armored car galloped into the only military dock in the Kingdom of Westland, counting Hatony's group of ten people to get out of the armored car and quickly walked to a small gunboat docked at the dock.
The men who surrounded Yang Chen shot indifferently as they walked, killing the soldiers guarding the dock neatly, rushing onto the small gunboat like wolves, cleaning up a group of black soldiers who were caught off guard, not much different from chopping melons and vegetables, seven-year-old Hartoni lay on Yang Chen's shoulder, blinked his eyes, looked at the one-sided slaughter, did not cry or shout, as if he was slowly adapting to the bloody scene.
Ten people were divided into two ways, Yang Chen controlled the cockpit this way, and Long San led people to dispose of the sailors in the bottom cabin, and took the gunboat with lightning speed.
THE SHIP WAS THIRTY-TWO METERS LONG, HAD A DISPLACEMENT OF THREE HUNDRED TONS, A MAXIMUM SPEED OF TWENTY-ONE KNOTS, AND WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN 88MM GUN AT THE FORWARD END OF THE DECK, WITH SEMI-ENCLOSED GUN EMPLACEMENTS.
When the rebel army arrived at the dock, the gunboats that Yang Chen had robbed had already destroyed the cockpits of the other two gunboats, and they were more than 500 meters away from the dock.
The rebels were helpless.
The gunboat rode the wind and waves, and Yang Chen planned to bypass the Somali waters, land from Kenya, and return to the Arctic fox base camp, which was the best route.
The men who fought all the way were all crowded in the cockpit, some were at the helm, some were staring at the radar, Yang Chen fiddled with the satellite phone, contacted the base camp to report safety, and discussed the next course of action with the scorpion, Mei Ji took Hartoni to the bilge to rest, and the danger seemed to be far away from them.
At the end of the call, Yang Chen walked to the glass porthole of the cockpit, looked at the calm sea, and found that there were dark clouds and lightning where the water and sky met in the distance, he frowned slightly, stared and observed, as the gunboat moved forward, the dark clouds and lightning became more and more real, worried about encountering a storm, this gunboat was in disrepair and could not withstand the wind and waves,
The gunboat had been moving forward for more than half an hour, and the dark clouds had obscured the sky, lightning and thunder, and a terrifying scene of the end of the world, and the storm was raging.
The gunboat was violently bumpy and undulating, sailing with difficulty, the waves did not even reach the deck, slapping the cockpit, the sound was terrifying, and the people in the cockpit grabbed the handrails and handles, trying to make themselves stand firm, fortunately, they were all iron men who had experienced countless lives and deaths, facing the wind and waves, fearless.
"Ghost weather!" The man at the helm scolded in a low voice.
"Chief, it's a storm." Long San glanced at Yang Chen, his face solemn.
Yang Chen nodded and said slowly: "I hope we just played a side game with it."
On the sea, the destructive power produced by extreme weather is simply impossible for human beings to resist, and in the midst of stormy seas, the 10,000-ton giant aircraft carrier is as weak and small as ants, let alone this small gunboat with a displacement of only 300 tons.
Resigned.
Yang Chen's most hated situation.
"Boss, the engine is out of order, and we're out of power." A man at the bridge said bad news that made everyone nervous.
Blessings are not double, and disasters are not alone.
Thanks to Yang Chen's habit of the goddess of fate from time to time since he was a child, he sent someone to the bilge to inspect the cause of the failure without changing his face, and soon fed back a bad news: the important parts of the engine were broken and had to be replaced, and there were no spare parts on the boat.
[Author's digression]: There are too many things these days, and the update is relatively poor, so I'm very sorry.
