Chapter 369: Fierce Confrontation

Boom, firelight burst out, thick smoke rose, a small pirate ship on the left side of the cruise ship was shot in the bow, the violent explosion almost overturned half of the cabin, and even blew dozens of robbers on the deck who were shouting and demonstrative, and their flesh and blood flew into the sea to feed the fish.

There was a roar and cheers in the command cabin, and the staff who had been suppressed for a long time couldn't help but take a long breath, and they couldn't help but stand up and high-five in celebration. Wen Li was even more happy and smiled, and she couldn't stop jumping, and almost jumped on Xu Wenlong's shoulder. Only Chen Ke, who behaved strangely, still looked calm and unfazed.

The small pirate ship that had been shot burst into flames, twisting and flapping like a headless fly a few times, and finally slowly stopped. The remaining two pirate ships, one large and one small, did not help, and still chased after them with murderous vigour. This time, however, they learned to be obedient, and instead of going on a rampage and chasing after each other, they took the swords sideways, the boat curved, and took the "S" shaped line to go around and around, trying to avoid the whistling shells. At the same time, their naval guns were no longer silent, and they opened fire with a boom. Fortunately, their ships are small and stable, and they are traveling at high speed in curves, so the accuracy is far worse. However, Rao is like this, the cannonballs that rained down from the sky also frightened the passengers of the ship into flying out of the sky, scattering into the sky, and all of them trembled and did not even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

The six motorboats that were fighting the vanguard, perhaps stimulated by the casualties of their companions or tempted by the magic of money, shouted in unison and rushed towards them with more and more horsepower. And the daredevils on the boat were even more crazy to the extreme, completely not afraid of the wind and waves, all of them stood like a desperate person, holding a long rope in one hand and an iron hook in the other, ready to forcibly board the ship at any time.

Captain Jack stood in the stern of the ship as unafraid of danger. When the motorboat coming like the wind was about 3,000 meters away from the cruise ship, he waved his hand and yelled: "Fire"

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Suddenly, ......" The two machine gunners who were waiting for the battle moved when they heard the sound and pulled the trigger in their hands in unison. In an instant, the gunfire on the mail ship was deafening, bullet casings flew sideways, and in the midst of one huge bombardment after another, the two Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine guns roared in unison, and the stormy bullets also poured out, each with a splash of snow-white water, and rushed to the two motorboats rushing diagonally......

The motorboat on the left of "Huh" bore the brunt of the attack, and as soon as it touched the barrage, it flew up in the air, leaving behind two unlucky ghosts and rushing directly to the mid-cloudy sky, and then spun around and buckled heavily on the ocean. The other one was even worse, being split in half by the rain of bullets, and instantly split into countless fragments in the violent explosion, scattering and flying away like a large net.

The last motorboat that came at a gallop was frightened, and no longer dared to play tricks, hulala turned around, leaving behind his half-sinking and half-floating companions on the ocean, and fled with the daredevils who abandoned the boarding rope and collapsed in the cabin.

Captain Jack smiled coldly and ordered in a deep voice: "Destroy them, leave no one behind, and avenge all the shipowners and crews who were shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean!" ”

"Yes," the two heavys replied, moving the barrels of their guns with both hands and firing without stopping.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Suddenly, ...... "two bullet chains rushed into the sea, and the two water columns alternated, and the bullet chains carried the water columns mercilessly through the two robbers who waved their hands for help, leaving their bodies turned over and crossed, and then chased after the motorboat that turned around and ran wildly with a palpitating sizzle.

The barrage of "puff puff puff ......" flew by, screaming miserably, and the fast-moving motorboat finally could not escape the bad luck, and instantly caught fire, and the hull of the boat turned over several somersaults one after another, and finally plunged into the sea with a "whirl" and disappeared all at once.

In this way, in just ten minutes, the menacing pirates lost one after another, suffering heavy losses, and were successively hit by the Polaris to a small steamer and annihilate three motorboats. However, the security team led by Jack was unharmed, without any casualties, not even a single hair was damaged. This unexpected victory made the frightened and restless tourists on the boat immediately raise their arms and cheer, and responded with continuous warm applause. Some, perhaps out of gratitude to the security guards, or out of a provocative demonstration against the pirates, even held out their own small pistols from the window of the ship and fired a burst of fire into the air. If it weren't for Captain James' repeated loudspeaker warnings that the alarm had not been cleared and that danger was still there, it is expected that these people would have made even more crazy moves.

Looking at the remaining pirates who were hit hard, because of the money in their eyes and the interests in their hearts, they were still fearless to the death and drove the two ships to pursue and bombard at full speed

。 The Polarstar, on the other hand, suffered from its large hull, lack of maneuverability, and bulkiness, and did not dare to fight it head-on, so it could only fight back and avoid it at full speed, so as to delay time and wait for the coming reinforcements. As a result, a life-and-death chase continues to be staged in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, and fierce confrontation is being held. As for who will kill the deer and who will win, in a short period of time, it will only depend on their own creation.

Captain James raised his wrist and looked at his watch, there were still more than twenty minutes before the time for the fighter to arrive. And according to the current situation, it will only be seven or eight minutes at most, and the pirate ship will definitely rely on the advantage of lightness and agility to approach the North Star in one fell swoop, and concentrate artillery fire to hit it hard, the consequences are too terrible, but what should I do? He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat covering his forehead, and with a melancholy gaze, he patrolled the busy staff in the cabin.

Xu Wenlong seemed to guess what Captain James was thinking, and lost no time in gesturing to him and said, "Mr. Captain, maybe...... Maybe we can stop the shelling and just run forward with all our hearts. In this way, the pirates will also follow the ceasefire. After all, their purpose is only to board the ship and rob as soon as possible, and they certainly do not want to and do not want to wreck our cruise ship before that. ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" In the stuck, Captain James only felt that his eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of light, he slapped his brain, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Captain Jack, "Ceasefire, cease fire!" All the team members stuck to their posts and did not order anyone not to shoot! ”

As expected, not long after Captain Jack gave the order to stop the shelling, the two pirate ships also stopped bombardment, and then took the opportunity to correct the course and chased after them like a lightning speed.

The staff in the command cabin all looked at Xu Wenlong with admiration, and Captain James also patted him on the shoulder to show his praise. Soon, however, a shadow cast on everyone's faces: because there was no threat of artillery fire, the pirate ship no longer had to take a roundabout evasive route, but rushed straight towards the cruise ship, which invisibly increased the speed of their pursuit, resulting in a shorter time to be overtaken and intercepted.

As the so-called roof leaks and continuous rain, the boat is biased by the head wind. While everyone was anxious and anxious about the rapid movement of the pirate ship, the signal soldier at the console suddenly stood up again, pointed to the front of the cruise ship in shock, and exclaimed, "No, Mr. Captain, we have been ambushed!" Look, Corsair! A bigger pirate ship! ”

"What? Another pirate ship is here! Captain James was startled, and hurriedly turned to look in the direction the signal man was pointing. Isn't it? I saw that twenty kilometers in front of the cruise ship, a large iron wheel of at least 2,000 tons was approaching quickly like a fierce god, looking at its outfit and hull coating, but it was not exactly the same as the pirates who were desperately chasing after it?

The staff on the operating table looked at each other and were speechless, and everyone stopped their movements in a panic, and looked at the sweaty Captain James in panic.

The corners of Captain James's mouth twitched a few times, and then he ordered the helmsman: "Right full rudder, northeast direction, continue to move forward at full speed!" ”

"Yes", the helmsman with a big waist and a round waist received the order, and immediately turned the rudder in his hand. With a strange squeak, the huge cruise ship suddenly swung its tail with a dragon, tilted its hull and forced it to turn in a direction, and slanted its spurt to look northeast and run away.

In a desperate situation, he narrowly escaped a catastrophe. The staff breathed a sigh of relief, quickly suppressed a flustered heart, and continued to do the work at hand.

At this time, the intercepted pirate ship opened fire. But when the fire flashed, the cannonballs flew whizzing, and instantly fell into the sea and exploded at a distance of 30 meters from the cruise ship, and also splashed most of the sea water stirred up by the sky to the bow of the ship. Immediately after the explosion, screams and cries were heard from the ship's cabins. Apparently, the passengers were frightened by the bomb that fell from the sky. Wen Li was no exception, the explosion crept, and she plunged into Xu Wenlong's arms, curled up and couldn't even speak.

Xu Wenlong hugged her tightly with both hands and kept whispering comfort in her ear.

As soon as the cannon rang out in front, the pirates chasing behind responded with it, and the tom tom also opened fire.

Captain Jack naturally did not show weakness, nor did he wait for the captain's order, and immediately commanded the machine gun artillery to return fire.

The rumbling, sudden, deafening explosions, heart-wrenching machine gun sounds, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke plunged the newly restored calm ocean into a life-and-death scuffle in an instant.

Things got to this point, and Captain James didn't stop setting sail

There was no other way to dodge the incoming shells, except for the order to speed up. After a short period of panic, the other staff also calmed down, and everyone stuck to their posts and worked together to control the huge cruise ship to rush forward.

Suddenly, a cannonball whistled and exploded at the waterline on the left side of the ship, and the huge shock wave shook even the bulky ship slightly.

"Damage assessment, rescue team!" Captain James roared, staring bloodshot at the display at the back of the cabin.

When the correspondent heard this, he immediately issued a rescue order, and at the same time quickly called up the monitoring of the explosion point. It was a cabin for storing vegetables, and a large hole had been blown open in the deck near the sea, and the turbulent sea water was pouring into the cabin at a rapid pace, instantly washing the well-sealed vegetables into pieces, drifting and crashing into the water. However, soon a team of rescue team members dressed in red arrived. They waded waist-deep through the water under tremendous pressure, and used various tools to block the incoming water.

Xu Wenlong tightly protected Wen Li, who was huddled into a ball, and looked anxiously at the rescue team members who blocked the water and replenished the cabin. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he immediately asked Captain James, "Mr. Captain, when will the fighter arrive?" ”

Captain James glanced at his watch quickly and replied in a trembling voice, "Less than ten minutes, what's wrong?" ”

"Then hurry up and order Captain Jack to get them out of the fight!" Xu Wenlong pointed to the approaching shell explosion point on the sea and said, "As long as we can hold on for ten minutes, ten minutes, then the rest of the pirates can be handed over to the fighter jets to deal with." Anyway, they won't be able to fight there much, and they will only wait for more casualties. ”

"Yes, life matters, and you don't take this moment to fight pirates!" Captain James couldn't help but wake up after this reminder, and hurriedly ordered Captain Jack to evacuate the combat post immediately through the walkie-talkie.

Captain Jack took the order, knowing that he couldn't get any bargain if he continued to fight. So he quickly led the team to evacuate the stern of the ship, moved to a safe and sturdy cabin and hidden, closely monitored the pirate ship, ready to enter the battle at any time.

Not long after they withdrew from the battle, a cannonball fell from the sky and landed on the turret with a loud bang, and even the heavy barrel was lifted into the sea.

Captain James looked at Xu Wenlong gratefully, silently turned the walkie-talkie to the whole ship's broadcast state, and said to all the tourists in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the crew members on the North Star, I am very sorry to tell you a piece of news. Today, not long ago, we have encountered the most violent and ferocious pirates of all time. Now they are trying to board our mail ship and try to wash our money in blood, what a shameful, what a hateful act. But it doesn't matter, it only takes ten minutes, as long as we can get through the last ten minutes, and our brave American pilots will come, and they will come with their most advanced warplanes, and they will not be left behind to annihilate these abominable pirates! So, now we are desperate for all those on board the mail ship, not to be afraid, not to panic, to find a safe place, to show our most devout hearts, to pray together, let us pray together to our Almighty God, Amen! After saying that, Captain James gently put down the walkie-talkie and solemnly drew a big "ten" on his chest.

When the first mate Tony and the others saw it, they also put down their work and silently drew the word "ten" on their chests. Chen Ke, who was wearing glasses, hurriedly said, "I want to go see my friend", then turned around and hurriedly left the command cabin, and disappeared after a while.

Captain James shrugged his shoulders and said to Xu Wenlong with a wry smile: "You should leave quickly, go and stay with your dear people, it is very dangerous here." And before leaving, please accept my heartiest thanks for helping us! ”

Xu Wenlong smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "No, Ah Qi is very safe, and she doesn't need me to accompany her at all." I think it's better to stay here, in case I need help somewhere? ”

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Captain James held Xu Wenlong's hands tightly and said to him sincerely.

At this moment, the communicator, who was staring at the radar screen with all his heart, suddenly stood up and screamed in a trembling voice: "God, ahead, there is another pirate ship in front of you!" And it's a big ship, a big cruiser! It's over, it's completely over! ”
