Chapter 10 Capture of pirates

Updated: 09/0/202

The whistle sounded, and the Prince and the No. 1 formed a formation of ships and left the dock in turn.

"How far is the goal?" Wang Tiehammer sat on the driver's platform and asked Mao Changyi, who operated the radar.

A few dense small bright spots on the west side of the radar screen kept flashing and heading east.

"There are still eight nautical miles to go."

Mao Changyi is a native of Beijing, 75 meters tall, with a fat garden face, small eyes, garlic nose, and looks like a landlord and old wealth. He is only 2 years old this year, he is proficient in electronic and electrical maintenance, assembly, and design, originally Yunlan wanted to arrange him in the industrial group to specialize in the electronic industry, but Wang Tiehammer thought that the electronics industry could not be done for the time being, so he first got him on the ship to maintain the radar.

"Dang Yi, you give me a good shimmer telescope, and I will take out the shooting Zhu Yuan later. This time, the Kasan rockets carried only ten rounds in total, which could not be wasted. ”

"No problem, it's my old job to calculate the shooting yuan."

Dang Yi is 2 years old this year, a native of Tianjin, proficient in car maintenance, diesel generator set operation and maintenance, and a simple electrician can repair some circuit boards. Although Dang Yi is a retired scout of the artillery unit, Wang Tiezhu's electrician operation skills believe that Dang Yi is more suitable for modern ships.

"Tan Ke, it's up to you to shoot!"

"My specialty is mortars, and this Kasan rocket is not much different from a recoilless gun, it is all aimed at it." Retired Sergeant Tan Ke said confidently.

As soon as they left the harbor, the two ships sailed west at a speed of 0 knots at the same time, heading towards Dinghai.

As soon as the Prince left the harbor, the ship's whistle sounded two short times, which was to remind everyone to pay attention, and then the voice of the watchman Zhang Xin came from the loudspeaker: "Except for the personnel on duty, all the personnel are neatly dressed and gather on the deck." The Marine Platoon stood on the starboard side of the ship, facing the port side. The crew of the Prince faces the bow and stands at the stern of the ship, while the rest of the crew all stand on the port side of the ship and face the starboard side. ”

Due to the tight time and limited funds, the advance team of the crossing regiment directly followed the marine camouflage uniform without military rank, the five-pointed star cockade, and the epaulette imitated civilian personnel, and there was no military rank for the time being.

Three minutes later, the crew rushed to the aft deck.

Zhang Xin has never been a soldier, and his only military career was also military training in college. The military outward bound training on Dongji Island is the second time he has participated in military training. Now Zhang Xin is standing at the front of the team, facing dozens of people, and he is a little hurried for a while.

At this time, the leader of the advance team, Wang Tiehammer, came to the rear deck, he clinged to the slipway, facing the stern, and saw the personnel crowded on the back deck in a disorderly manner, and shouted, "The land battle is a detachment in a row, and the water without a trace gathers the troops to report to the watchman; The crew of the Prince is the second detachment, and Dang Yi assembles the team to report to the watchman; The other personnel were three divisions, and Fan Hua gathered the troops to report to the duty officer. The watchman finally reported to me. ”

After some tossing, Wang Tiehammer stood at the front of the team, "Comrades. ”

As soon as they heard the words "comrades," many people in the ranks who had experience in the military immediately stood upright.

Wang Tiezhu immediately raised his hand and returned the salute. "Please take a break."

"The Prince is the main battleship of our advance team. When we get on the warship, we are soldiers, and if we are soldiers, we must obey the command in all actions. Everyone knows that there are several pirate ships waiting for us ahead, and the battle will start in just over ten minutes. All personnel on board must be ordered to prohibit and strictly observe battlefield discipline. ”

Seeing that the team was silent, Wang Tiehammer nodded slightly, "The destruction of pirate ships is an episode of our voyage. To deal with pirates, we need a navy, we need marines, but we also have comrades from the financial and trade group, the machinery industry group and other departments on board, why is this? ”

After saying that, he looked around with his eyes, and then said, "Because our target is Japan, the arsenal of the United States base in Yokosuka, Japan. ”

There was a sudden chatter in the team.

"All of them, take a break!" The voices in the group suddenly became much quieter.

Then Wang Tiehammer roared, "Stand up! ”

The team suddenly fell silent.

"Is it dangerous for us to go and pick up the weapons and ammunition in the US military ammunition depot? I don't know, but we need weapons for the crossing regiment, whether it's dangerous or not. ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Get your weapons, this voyage isn't over yet. We can't just go to Japan for nothing. When the time comes, we don't care what happens, we have to give him something good about little Japan. ”

In the end, Wang Tiehammer said sternly, "Everyone is excited, I can understand it, but noise is absolutely forbidden in the team." Today is the first time I have gathered troops, so I will not criticize, and the next time there is any twitter in the team, it will be dealt with seriously. After the disbandment, the teams did a good job of mobilization. Disband. ”

"A detachment assembles on the foredeck!" "The rear deck of the second detachment assembles!" "Meet in the front cabin of the third team! Soon the sound of the teams assembling was heard from the loudspeaker.

Twenty-four-year-old Lu Huitian sat high in the wheelhouse of the Deng-1 landing craft, and he kept picking up his binoculars to scan the sea surface in front of him. Unexpectedly, the first time the advance team fought, he would be able to participate in the organization and command as the commander of a boat, Lu Huitian was a little excited, but also a little uneasy, and he swept the afterglow of his eyes to Chengyang Chengguang beside him from time to time.

Lu Huitian is 5 tall and weighs 90 kilograms, he is a native of Xi'an, and he majored in electrical engineering. Lu Huitian's parents worked as leading cadres in a military factory on the third line, and because his relatives and friends at home were all dealing with naval equipment, he had a special affection for the navy. This time, Lu Huitian came to the navy.

A small bright spot on the marine radar display screen kept jumping, and Cheng Yang Chengguang, who was on radar duty, had been carefully waiting in front of the fluorescent screen. Cheng Yang Chengguang, a 20-year-old college student, is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, a Han nationalist who admires giant ships and cannons. Therefore, as soon as Chengyang Chengguang came to Dongji Island to report, Wang Tiezhu arranged for him to get on board and learn naval technology.

"The command ship calls Deng-1, and the command ship calls Deng-1." The sound of Wang Tiehammer came from the shortwave radio.

Lu Huitian hurriedly picked up the microphone, "I'm Deng, I'm Deng, Captain, please instruct." ”

"Report on your radar observations."

Lu Huitian hurriedly took out the microphone and asked Chengyang Chengguang in a low voice

Cheng Yang Chengguang hurriedly replied: "There are eight radar observation targets, which are nearly five nautical miles away from our boat. ”

"Report to the captain, there are eight radar observation targets, which are nearly five nautical miles away from our boat."

"The two ships are sailing in a horizontal formation, your ship is on my left, two chains apart, two minutes later, the battle alarm will be sounded, the searchlight will be turned on, and the target will be searched."

"Deng-1 understands."

After the call, the two boats sailing in a column changed their formation and walked in a horizontal formation.

Two minutes later, the Prince and the No. 1 sounded the battle siren, and the marines formed a battle formation and squatted on the bow and sides of the foredeck; The searchlights were turned on at the same time, shining on the sea ahead, and the two ships searched and advanced.

Dang Yi on the Prince reported to Wang Tiehammer that from the low-light observation glass, he found that four nautical miles ahead, there were several small boats heading north.

"They're quite clever, so they'll go north." Wang Tiehammer smiled, "You immediately calculate the shooting Zhu Yuan, and inform Tan Ke to prepare to launch the Kasan rocket." ”

Wang Tiehammer turned his head to the landing craft sailing side by side, picked up the intercom, "Board No. 1, the command ship is about to launch rockets." Your boat closely observes the enemy's situation. Only ten rounds of ammunition were issued for each long gun, and the second platoon of the Marine was ordered to conserve ammunition at a distance of less than 200 meters and not to shoot. ”

The night was dark and dreary, the sea breeze was blowing vigorously to the east, and the eight green-hulled boats were shaped like grasshoppers, slender and long, moving quickly along the wind on the vast sea. Ba Liwei sat shirtless in the bow of a boat in the middle, he grabbed the flask and poured it violently, staring at the faint bright color in the distance.

The "Green Shell Ship" is a pirate ship from Guangdong, shaped like a grasshopper, with a green painted hull and a living centipede, with two masted sails and rows of oars on both sides. The people of the coast, when they heard it, changed color and called it a "green-shelled ship".

Ba Liwei was originally a pirate in Guangdong, because the big boss annoyed the British, the British Far East Fleet has been tracking and suppressing, and the entire pirate gang has been dispersed. Fortunately, they followed a few leaders and slipped from Guangdong to Zhejiang early. Zhejiang Navy Guerrilla Buxing was originally also a Guangdong pirate, and he had some incense for them, so they also set up camp in Zhoushan and Ningbo.

During these days, they disguised themselves as good people, nesting in Ningbo Sanjiangkou every day, and the smell of birds faded out of their mouths. This time, it was because the eldest brother Octopus wanted to take refuge in the imperial court, and I heard that there were Zhoushan bandit activities on Dongji Island, so he wanted to use the elimination of Zhoushan bandits as a springboard for recruitment, and led a group of brothers to take advantage of the dark night to kill on the island.

"It's going to kill again." Ba Liwei was very excited. He likes to kill, holding a musket in one hand and a big knife in the other, and a wine jug pinned to his waist. It doesn't matter whether he continues to be a pirate or accepts Zhao'an, these things are the responsibility of the bosses anyway, he just kills people and sets fires.

There was a faint sound of "buzzing" on the sea, and Ba Liwei suddenly pricked up his ears, the sound came from the front, and the "buzzing" was very rhythmic, somewhat similar to the rumbling sound of the foreign steamer.

Ba Liwei is just strong, not reckless, the memory of being chased by the British in Guangdong is still there, he immediately realized that there was a problem, and went forward, the sea was dark and swarthy, and nothing was clear. Ba Liwei hurriedly turned around, only to see that the octopus was already standing on the slipway, holding a monocular and aiming ahead.

The octopus felt as if there were two small black dots far ahead, and quickly approached it. Although it was only a vague feeling and he couldn't be sure, he trusted his instincts and knew that there must be danger ahead.

Octopus is an old pirate for many years, he likes to stretch out multiple tentacles like a squid, greedily stretch out the target, and immediately throw smoke and run away when he is in danger.

"Do you want to retreat?" Octopus asked himself secretly. He put down the monotube and looked around, eight green shells like dense grasshoppers, marching on the sea like arrows, more than three hundred brethren muskets and crossbows were ready, and they were ready there.

At this, the octopus suddenly burst with confidence, "No, this is the night, even if it is a big steamer of foreign devils, my eight green shells will bite him coldly like a grasshopper in the dark night." ”

"Quick, inform the brethren on the boat, close the distance, and be on guard." The octopus hurriedly shouted.

As soon as Ba Liwei used incense to draw a circle to inform the boss of the order, he saw that there were suddenly dazzling lights shining several miles ahead, and four lampposts lit up the entire sea.

The octopus holding the monotube was very real, and it was a lamppost from two ships, like a small sun, and the place where it shone was almost as bright as day. He's a little hairy, and there's no such thing as a steamer. The octopus suddenly felt a little chilled, tonight it was considered to have hit an iron plate, so let's hurry up and flash people. He hurriedly ordered to modify the voyage and avoid the incoming ship to the north.

The minions quickly changed the direction of the sails, and the helmsmen of the ship, aware of the danger, were unusually nimble and immediately changed the direction of the bow. The eight green shells that had just spread out immediately changed direction, like a long snake winding northward.

The octopus's green-hulled boat was at the forefront, standing on the slipway and turning his head from time to time. At first, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that the ship from the east had not turned and was still heading west, but it didn't take long for the two boats to change direction and chase after him, and the octopus's heart suddenly became heavy.

All the pirates paddled desperately, using their oars and sails together, and the eight Green Shells sped up a lot. But the octopus's heart was still hanging in the air, he picked up the monotube and kept searching for islands and reefs on the surrounding sea, and kept chanting, "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law~~"

"Woo~~" There was a sudden sharp whistle in the air, and as soon as the pirates raised their heads, there was an explosion a few hundred meters in front of them, and a raging flame immediately rose on the sea.

The pirates' pale faces were soon reddened by the flames. Ba Liwei's paddling palms were full of sweat, he had been a pirate for more than ten years, and he had never seen such a big flame on the water, the cannon of the East Pole Pirate was so powerful, it would not be a fire to burn Chibi tonight.

Ba Liwei is never afraid of losing his head, begging for a life on the knife edge, either you die or I die. The head fell off a bowl with a large scar, but it turned into barbecue, which was really hard for him to accept. Distraught, he tossed the pulp aside, raised his arquebus and fired a shot at the place where the lamppost rose behind him.

"Hold your mother, so far, hit a ball, and keep rowing." The octopus hurriedly jumped up to stop it.

At this time, there was another sharp whistle in the air, followed by a rumbling not far in front of the octopus's boat, and the shock heat wave caused by the explosion blew all around, and the sea suddenly burst into flames.

The shock wave came, and the boat immediately shook, and the octopus stumbled and almost fell off the slipway. The helmsman shuddered, and before he could pull the rudder, the ship plunged directly into the burning sea, and bursts of scorching heat came from all directions.

The speeding ship stirred the gasoline-burning seawater, and with a crackling sound, tongues of fire hit the deck one after another. The sea breeze also rolled up layers of heat, and the flames rolled with the smoke and rolled towards the sails.

The burning area of the sea was only ten meters in diameter at most, and the ship quickly burst out of the flames, but the gasoline-stained hull was already burning, and the sails were also burning. With the help of the wind, the scorching flames spread rapidly, and the flames on the sails, masts, and decks turned into raging fires in an instant.

"Cut off the mast! Chop off the mast! Abandon the sails. The octopus shouted loudly in smoke.

Burned by the fire, Ba Liwei was the first to recover, and he picked up an axe and aimed it at the mast. The pirates worked together to bring down the mast, and as the sails and mast fell into the sea, the ship's speed slowed down, the sea breeze became much lighter, and the fire on board was finally brought under control.

The octopus scanned the surroundings in panic, the six green shells had already bypassed the sea of fire and rushed to the front, and the boat behind had been hit by a bullet at some point, and the side, deck, slipway, and sail were completely burned, and there were constantly miserable cries on the sea, and the smell of roasted human flesh was faintly smelled in the air.

"Lower the sails, raise your hands high, and wait for you to die; Disobey to the end, a dead end. From behind, there were shouts of persuasion in Cantonese and Ningbo respectively, and the shouts of persuasion were clearer than the other.

"Hold your mother." The octopus scolded fiercely, and he formed a horn with both hands and shouted at the six boats in front of him, "Go separately, everyone pull the sails separately." ”

"What are we going to do?" Ba Liwei smelled the smell of barbecue and felt a little weak.

"What should I do?" Octopus picked up an arquebus, "my mother!" ”

Fu Baichen was lying on the bow of the Prince with a sniper rifle, and while checking the iPhone display screen installed on the M200, he kept adjusting the density disc on the M200 to aim at the octopus jumping up and down from a distance. The Cheytacm 200 sniper rifle was brought back from North America by Prince Lin and is now in his possession, including a hand-mounted table and an iPhone with auxiliary shooting software installed.

Shui Wuji, who was squatting next to him, was a little impatient, "It's already eight hundred meters, you can't do it!" ”

"Look!"

Fu Baichen twisted the secret wheel a few more times, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

There was a "bang" of gunshots, and the octopus immediately fell in a pool of blood. Ba Liwei and the others were so frightened that they all raised their hands and shouted "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" ”。

In the midst of the gunfire, Deng No. 1 and the Prince were like two big pincers, bypassing the burning sea and the surrendered pirate ships from the left and right, and outflanking the scattered and fleeing green-hulled ships. As the distance approached, the sound of surrender in the loudspeaker sounded tightly, the searchlight shone through, and the team members with spears began to aim and shoot at the stubborn target.

"Bang, bang, bang" With the crisp sound of gunfire, the fierce pirates fell to the ground one by one, and the deck was full of pirates with their hands raised.

The Prince and the No. 1 clamped down, forcing the pirate ship that ran at the front to lower its sails, and soon all the pirate ships lowered their sails.

The two searchlights on the Prince kept patrolling the sea, and the landing craft approached the green-hulled ship one by one, and under the threat of sharp bayonets, the pirates were stripped naked one by one, and their hands were tied behind them with nylon cable ties, and a total of 2 pirates were all imprisoned in the landing module.

At two o'clock in the morning, escorted by the Prince, the landing craft towed seven pirate ships and slowly approached the harbor of Dongji Island.

"Woo~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a long whistle, the Prince said goodbye to No. 1, which had sailed into the harbor, and headed for Japan at full speed.
