Chapter 822: Tough Attitude
In the command room of the "Coconut City", Su Qiyue was engrossed in watching the video signal transmitted by the helicopter in front.
Due to the unstable network, the video signal will freeze from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Li Dong, who was behind Su Qiyue's side, couldn't help but be a little anxious.
It's no wonder that this is the first mission of the escort fleet, and Li Dong, the captain, is really too concerned.
Glancing at the deputy inadvertently, Su Qiyue handed him a relieved look.
For the instability of the network in this era, Su Qiyue has long expected it.
Not being able to send the video back in time is not a big problem, as long as the communication can be kept unblocked.
After all, the escort fleet has to deal with only "pirates", not regular troops.
Even if the other side is well armed, it is not enough to see in the face of the strong strength of the escort fleet.
According to the experience of Su Qiyue's previous life, the possibility of the escort fleet itself being attacked is almost zero.
The only thing that is uncertain is whether the "Estin" in front of it can be successfully rescued.
"Hole, hole, H1 has found the target!"
In the middle of the communication, a voice suddenly came.
The meaning of the type code of the aircraft in the military is as follows:
Strike Machine: A
Bomber: B
Fighter: F
Transport aircraft: C
Trainer: T
Helicopter: H
H1, of course, is the helicopter that the "Coconut City" is carrying.
Hearing that the helicopter in front of him had found the target, Li Dong, who was beside Su Qiyue, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been worried about the authenticity of the foreigner's words in the high-frequency signal just now.
Now it seems that it should be conclusive.
Su Qiyue picked up the communication and calmly gave instructions: "Dong Qi received it!" H1 You reveal your identity first and warn the pirates. If the other party is stubborn, immediately launch a rescue operation. ”
"Yes, H1 received!"
The helicopter responded quickly.
After putting down the communication, Su Qiyue turned his gaze to the chief navigator.
"Full speed ahead to the H1 sign."
Listening to the instructions of this Su commander, the navigator did not hesitate and immediately carried it out.
Turning his head, Su Qiyue's gaze fell on Li Dong's body.
"Captain Li, let the gunners lead the members of the former main gun squad into position, they may need to cover later."
Li Dong had expected this, and hurriedly nodded at the moment: "I'll notify the gun commander and the former main gun squad now." ”
Su Qiyue snorted, and then reminded: "In addition, the rear main artillery squad also let them prepare for support." ”
"Understood!"
For naval combat, Li Dong is an expert, so naturally there is no need for Su Qiyue to explain anything.
The man quickly shifted his steps to the other side of the command module to give instructions to the fire team.
Ten minutes later, the communication rang again.
Su Qiyue calmly picked up the communication: "How's the situation?" ”
"The cave has fired a warning shot at the two pirates. However, instead of fleeing immediately, they accelerated their approach to the merchant ship. ”
"At present, the pirate ship is close to a dangerous distance from the merchant ship 'Estine', please instruct!"
Listening to the inquiries in the communication, Su Qiyue said decisively: "Special Operations Group A should first prepare to meet the enemy and ensure its own safety. Then seeing the opportunity, two members of the airborne team went to the 'Estin' to stabilize the situation. ”
"The rest of the team is in place, ready to take on the enemy at any time!"
Listening to Su Qiyue's instructions, the communication quickly responded: "Yes!" ”
On the other side, Li Dong had also given instructions to his fire team to prepare for battle.
When he came back, he listened to Su Qiyue's instructions to the helicopter in his ears.
If the command of this young man is determined, Li Dong can't help but secretly praise.
Not to mention, at least this Commander Su is calm and free, which is beyond his own reach.
Of course, Li Dong is not without worries.
After all, this kind of sea rescue operation is the first time for him.
Glancing at Su Qiyue's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Director Su, H1, can they complete this rescue mission?" ”
Su Qiyue turned his head to look at the deputy, smiled and said, "Since you can arrive before the pirate action, it shouldn't be a big problem, at least there is a seventy percent chance." ”
I don't know why, Su Qiyue's baseless words made Li Dong feel a lot more at ease.
Li Dong, who was relaxed, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Director Su, we haven't entered the Gulf of Aden yet, and we have encountered such a thing." ”
"You say, does this indicate that our trip will not be peaceful?"
Su Qiyue was stunned when he heard this: "Since it is an escort operation, it will definitely encounter such and such problems." ”
"If we encounter more things, we can also accumulate more experience for those who come after us. So, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Li Dong didn't expect this Commander Su to have such an attitude, and while nodding, he sighed in his heart.
In terms of realm, I am really much worse than others.
While the two were discussing in a low voice, a captain and staff officer began to prompt.
"Report, target ship spotted ahead."
Su Qiyue sighed and reminded: "Stick it in a straight line, let the 'Jiangcheng' pay attention to keep a safe distance and support at any time." ”
"Yes!" The staff officer responded.
After giving instructions, Su Qiyue picked up the telescope in front of him and looked at it.
A nautical mile ahead, a helicopter above was hovering above a medium-sized merchant ship.
Not far behind the merchant ship, two small speedboats were maintaining high speed, ready to approach at any moment.
Obviously, they were not very afraid of the helicopters above the merchant ships.
After all, it is a knife-licking life, and pirates have probably seen a lot of such scenes.
It's not realistic to expect them to abandon the operation with just one helicopter.
However, the subsequent appearance of the escort fleet "Coconut City" immediately made the pirates retreat.
With their rich experience at sea, as soon as they saw this posture of the escort fleet, they knew that it was very difficult to provoke.
In particular, the heavy machine guns that had been erected in front of the escort fleet were the weapons that pirates feared the most.
Soon, the pirate slowed down and moved away from the merchant ship "Estin".
But the other dinghy, however, did not seem to be convinced, and hurried a little further ahead.
Seeing this scene, Su Qiyue's face sank.
He picked up the communication and ordered directly: "H1 immediately give the pirates a stern warning. The fire team fires at the front of the pirate dinghy to prevent it from approaching the merchant ship. ”
Listening to Su Qiyue's firm instructions, Li Dong's heart was full of joy.
After his own warship had arrived, Li Dong felt that this rescue operation could end perfectly.
Who knew that pirates would make such a provocative move.
What I didn't expect was that this Commander Su really got into trouble with the other party, and he didn't mean to back down at all.
This is very risky.
Once you cause losses to the other party, you will be hated by these pirates.
Of course, there is definitely no way for the pirates to take their own convoys.
I'm afraid that they will hold a grudge and "look at the merchant ships of the Chinese side" in the future.
