Chapter 42: The Eagle Looks at the Sea (1)
A successful retreat from enemy-occupied territory is definitely more difficult than an attack.
Shi Shaoying walked at the back of the line, regressing little by little.
Except for Hua Hu, who followed closely by Shi Shaoying's side, two of the remaining eight team members, one left and one right, walked at the front of the team, they were the scouts of the team, and they had to ensure that they led the team to avoid all traps, including mines and ambushes. On this small island full of unconventional weapons, the scout's work task can be imagined, so it is the swordsman and Squint who take on this task.
The swordsman has far more intuition and reaction speed than ordinary people, and when he encounters a biological weapon attack such as the "Grenadier" beetle, he is the only one who can react in the shortest possible time. And the swordsman doesn't know what fear is, and of course he won't do anything idiotic because of fear in the face of danger. From the point of view of being fearless and courageous, a swordsman is a natural scout.
As for squinted eyes, although they do not have any outstanding specialties in military technology, but after training together, Shi Shaoying soon discovered that as a professional who pays attention to details and is good at making fake products, squinted eyes are sometimes even more poisonous than high-tech detection equipment. Even if it is a master of deceit design like Shi Shaoying, regardless of the time loss, the chance of a well-arranged deceit being seen through by a military novice like Slanted Eye is as high as 95%!
The other six members, in groups of three, formed two fire support groups, alternately covering in echelons, retreating to the port little by little, no matter what time it was, in the event of an attack, at least one squad of light machine guns and two automatic rifles could make a fire counterattack in an instant.
York's eyes fell on the shoulder of the flower fox, looking at the shoulder of the flower fox, the armed robot that had not even been determined by the final model, but was only produced in small batches, the corner of York's mouth was slightly raised, but in the end he didn't say anything, just raised his right hand and waved goodbye to Shi Shaoying.
The whole team successfully retreated to the dock, and in the not too small harbor of the island, two luxury yachts, several speedboats, and a dozen single-piloted motorboats were quietly moored.
Almost everyone had their eyes on the two luxury yachts, which were designed and built for the wealthy to enjoy life at sea, not only had the ability to sail to the sea, but also stored a lot of food and fuel, and if they could not be allowed to sail all the way back to Eyre, at least they could evacuate the island with their whole team of fourteen people and find a suitable place to land.
Shi Shaoying pointed to the two speedboats and made a command gesture to immediately occupy and launch them.
Through the telescope, York, who had been paying attention to Shi Shaoying and his party, saw that Shi Shaoying and they had snatched two speedboats, and immediately turned the bow of the ship and sailed towards the "Queen Star" destroyer that had been controlled by Pei Tongtong on the sea, an almost absurd idea, suddenly rose from the bottom of York's heart: "Shi Shaoying, this bold cargo, doesn't he really plan to snatch the 'Queen Star' destroyer and drive it away as a means of transportation, right?!" ”
Before boarding the destroyer "Queen Star", an indescribable shock surged in Shi Shaoying's heart.
Tank awesome, known as the infantry nemesis, the Tiger tank during World War II, even after more than half a century, still makes people talk about it, a main battle tank, only fifty or sixty tons to die, that is, a main gun, plus a few vehicle-mounted machine guns.
But this destroyer, which has been controlled by them, has a full load displacement of up to 8,000 tons! The destroyer is 156 meters long and 17 meters wide, and its standard armament includes two 130-millimeter naval guns, four close-in defense guns, 48 ship-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, eight "Japanese-moxibustion" ship-to-ship missiles, 48 anti-submarine depth charges, and two twin 533-millimeter torpedo launchers.
Coupled with an anti-submarine helicopter quietly moored on the tarmac, this destroyer has a pair of condescending eyes to search for prey. Not to mention, after the "Queen's Star" pirate group got this destroyer, they added a batch of powerful combat weapons to it according to their strengths and needs.
The speedboat stopped close to the hull of the destroyer, Shi Shaoying stood up and stretched out his hand to caress the hull of the ship, the too hot sun in the South Pacific Ocean has been shining on the hull of the ship, so the tentacles are not as cold as imagined, but a little hot. Now the sea breeze is blowing, and the entire sea surface is constantly rising and falling, but this steel battleship moored in front of Shi Shaoying is so calm that there is no trace of fluctuation.
This battleship may be because it has been built for one or two decades, and at that time, not much attention was paid to the stealth and anti-detection of the battleship, so the streamlined shape of the new destroyer could not be found on its body, and the edges and corners were a little too distinct, but these edges and corners revealed the hard and rustic atmosphere of Siberian ice and snow.
Rugged, durable, sturdy, cheap, and powerful...... On its body, the true meaning of "simplicity is beauty" can be found everywhere in Soviet-made weapons.
No matter how good an infantry you are, even if you are a special soldier among special forces, in the face of this purest weapon of war assembled by human beings with steel and high technology, you must admit that in the frontal battlefield, the individual power of human beings is so small.
It is as if today, hundreds of veterans of the special forces of various countries in the world, who are well-trained and have actual combat experience, were completely annihilated by just four "scorching sun" ship-to-ship missiles before they had time to display their outstanding military skills and bravery. Not to mention, there are more powerful aircraft carrier groups on the battlefield, and high-altitude bombers that infantry cannot hit at all, and certainly cannot fight.
With such emotion, Shi Shaoying boarded the destroyer, and as soon as he walked into the command room, Pei Tongtong rushed over, "Captain, we will never drive this destroyer away, you must find a new means of transportation!" ”
Shi Shaoying raised his eyebrows in confusion, he really thought that this ship was good, compared with this destroyer, under the command of the commander of Abduhir in Eller City, the "mother ship" that those young marshals transformed with ocean-going tugs is simply a child's toy. Besides, they have now completely torn their faces with the organizing committee of the competition, no matter how you look at it, it is much safer to escape by grabbing a destroyer than escaping on a luxury cruise ship without any firepower defense, right?
"This destroyer comes from the old warships that have been eliminated by the former Soviet Union, and has undergone later maintenance and refit, you don't see that the command room is full of new command systems and weapons control systems that represent the latest technology in the 21st century, but its heart is the level of World War II, and it is simply a steam boiler that goes against the times!"
Seeing that Shi Shaoying, a half-baked pirate captain from the mountain special forces, actually walked to the bridge and began to study those instruments, showing that he did not recognize the seriousness of the problem, Pei Tongtong suddenly raised his voice: "The fuel used in this battleship we grabbed is coal!" Water is also needed to generate power, clean fresh water that can be drunk directly! Imagine the oldest locomotive with smoke over its head, powered by the same power as the old steam engine locomotive. ”
Shi Shaoying's eyes widened, he glanced at the modern command room around him, which was full of computer control, and blurted out: "?!" ”
"What's the, don't believe me I'll take you to the power room to see the boiler there?!"
Pei Tongtong's eyes widened, and he told Shi Shaoying to shut up directly. Discussing destroyers with her, a naval warfare expert from the Marine Corps' amphibious reconnaissance detachment, Shi Shaoying is 100 percent a class with an axe.
"To use a boiler to drive a steam turbine to generate power, we all have to have six to eight people without any failures! Also, this ship must be one of the 'modern destroyers' that were forced to be scrapped after the collapse of the Soviet Union because of the inability to continue to spend a lot of maintenance funds, even though there may be a cat in the middle, after being bought by the Queen's Star Pirate Group, and after repeated repairs, there must still be various hidden dangers left behind because of untimely maintenance, without a strong enough maintenance team, it may not be able to run hundreds of miles, it will strike directly on the sea! Don't tell me that you want to gamble your luck with God and see if you can be lucky enough to drive it through the Strait of Malacca, from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, and back to Somalia!! ”
Shi Shaoying was still thinking about it, and his squinted eyes had already made a summary: "Instructor, do you mean to say that this game is donkey dung and eggs, but it looks bright on the outside, and when it comes to the real thing, as long as you soak in the water, it will be all rotten?" ”
"It's not as unbearable as you say," Pei Tongtong did not completely deny the battleship they occupied, "Its fire control system directly introduces the most advanced Aegis fire control system in the United States, and it has also been optimized and improved in a targeted manner, making the operation more convenient, and has reached the level of automatic loading, automatic aiming, and computer fire control and shooting throughout the whole process, so I can start the weapon in such a short time and suppress the island with high-intensity firepower." To put it simply, this ship has the world's first-class fire control system and ship-to-ship, ship-to-ship strike capabilities, but it is equipped with a power system that was popular during World War II. And this is precisely the super shortcoming of our pirate team. ”
Speaking of this, Pei Tongtong threw out a hard data: "Not to mention anything else, the standard configuration of this ship is 296 members, of which 25 are needed for officers alone!" Whether you can activate it or not, and deal with the battle that may come, you can decide for yourselves. ”
