The Akilai sailed quietly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, and its journey, which had been simply from Alexandria to Port Said, had now left the coastline and entered the deep sea, but, instead of following the orders of the hijackers, it sailed due north, on the route to the Aegean Sea. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

Inside the ship, several hours had passed, and all the hostages were crammed into the small cabaret hall, although the place was large enough, but when more than four hundred people entered, the place immediately became smaller, and only one hijacker was left to watch over it, and the hijackers knew that the operation would last for several days, and they were already changing shifts and resting their strength.

According to the plan, it would take more than a day to sail from here before it could enter the coastline of Israel, and then it would be safe, and it would be the most dangerous during the time it was out of Egypt. Unbeknownst to them, the ship did not sail to Israel at all, nor to Lebanon.

Since the accident of the Akilai, Egypt has sent helicopters to monitor the ship's movements from afar.

Looking at the sea in front of him, looking at the sky that was getting darker, Edha in the cockpit, while monitoring the piloting of the crew, looked outside, the damn helicopter, all the time flying in the distance, he really wanted to kill one or two hostages to force that helicopter away. {{}}

They had locked the way to here from the deck below, and with the concentration of hostages, their actions were impeccable.

They're also dealing with the worst-case scenario. If there really are armed men who come up to the rescue, then. They will not hesitate to start shooting hostages.

The night was getting dark, and the sea around me was pitch black. There is no moonshine.

The roar in the distance was finally gone, the helicopter had limited fuel after all, they had no fuel, so they could only return, and there was no one to watch, Edha's nervous mood relaxed slightly.

Eighty kilometers to the south, which they could not see. An Iraqi AWACS aircraft converted from Y-10 is flying, which has taken over the surveillance work of the helicopter.

After reaching an agreement with Mubarak, Qusay did not hesitate. {{}} immediately dispatched his forces to carry out this armed rescue work.

Originally, Qusay wanted to let the Sidewinder special forces dispatch, but the most skilled means of transportation for the Sidewinder special forces was the helicopter, and in this kind of dark night, when the helicopter landed from the top of the opponent's head, the noise was relatively loud and easy to be detected by the other party. Therefore, another special forces unit, the Marine Corps, which has also received anti-terrorism training, received this task again at this time.

The Marine Corps, which mainly performs maritime missions, is also relatively close to the purpose of the creation of their troops, especially Hades's sense of war is too strong, the last war in Syria. He was very unpleasant, and there was no big battle to fight in the near future, so Kusai gave him this mission, and Hades patted his chest to ensure that a hostage would not be hurt.

At the same time, the Messiah Bureau has compiled all the information, especially the various information of this ship, the various layouts of the ship after the redecoration, and analyzed the places where the hostages may be held, one is the front deck, and the other is the three-story song hall, and the Egyptian helicopters have found that there is no one on the deck during the day, so the place where the hostages are held is in that song hall.

Although most of the hostages rescued this time were Westerners, Hades still did not complain, strictly implemented President Qusay's orders, and formulated a thorough action plan.

Egypt could hardly come up with a better way to spy on the hijacked cruise ship than visual search and surveillance, so at Qusay's suggestion, Mubarak agreed that Iraq's AWACS aircraft would pass over the Sinai Peninsula and enter the Mediterranean Sea to monitor the cruise ship's voyage from a distance and support its own personnel movements. {{}}

In later generations, Somali piracy was extremely rampant, although there were many warships escorting the ship, but once the ship was hijacked by pirates, few countries were willing to use armed rescue, and most of them used to pay ransom in exchange for the safe return of the hostages, because Somali pirates are familiar with the environment, skilled in technology, rash action, and the possibility of failure is very high.

However, the several militants who were kidnapped this time did not have so many means, they are afraid that they are not even familiar with navigation, how to look at it, their ships are sailing on the wrong route, they want to hijack the ships to Crete or Cyprus?

Hades selected twenty of the most capable personnel from his own subordinates to form the rescue force this time, carrying his own various equipment, and their means of transportation were helicopters and rubber boats. {{}}

In the night sky, which had already darkened, two helicopters, flying in the eastern Mediterranean, although they could only hear the roar of the propellers stirring the air, and it could also be judged by this huge roar, this is definitely a large helicopter, only when it is very close, it can be seen, this helicopter is somewhat different from ordinary helicopters, there is no tail, and there are two huge top propellers in front and rear.

This is the CH-47 Chinook helicopter that Iraq is equipping.

This helicopter was first encountered by Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, and President Qusay personally captured an Iranian helicopter during the battle, which has a large payload capacity and can even hang vehicles or artillery. This is a capability that no helicopter in Iraq has.

Therefore, Qusay has always hoped that this helicopter could be imported from the United States, and after responding to the United States' oil production increase campaign, Iraq gained the favor of the United States and also imported the first batch, 30 such helicopters, which are no less popular than Black Hawk helicopters. {{}}

The Marine Corps, under the efforts of Hades, was also divided into two, and in this operation, these two helicopters played a great role.

Pilots wearing night vision devices are flying steadily on the sea surface, and this helicopter navigation equipment is advanced, even if they only rely on instruments to fly, they can accurately find their flight path, not to mention, they also have the help of night vision devices and the information transmitted by AWACS aircraft non-stop.

Equipped with the Iraqi army, the helicopters were simultaneously installed with Iraq's military data link.

"Continue to fly twenty nautical miles, then five nautical miles in the direction of nine o'clock, right on the route of that cruise ship, which is the most suitable sea area for airdrop!" Data transmitted through the AWACS data link, the captain of the CH-47 said to the pilot on the left.

Two helicopters flew over the sea, leaving nothing but the sea, which was harassed by propellers, which quickly returned to calm.

Flying at an ultra-low altitude, they were not hiding from the observation of the armed men of the hijacked ship, there was no radar on the Akilai cruise ship, they could not be detected at all, they did it to prevent detection by others, especially, Israel in the east. Israel, which no longer has AWACS aircraft, will not be able to detect them flying close to the surface of the sea.

In the cabin, Hades, whose face was painted with camouflage, looked at his subordinates viciously: "I checked the operation again just now, do you understand?" ”

"Understood." The team members said that they have always been in awe and full of love for their captain, especially in this mission, they overshadowed the Rattlesnake special forces, which made them full of pride.

"Check the equipment, in the cabin for a while, our radio may not work very well, rely more on gestures, what I need is that in the process of capturing the robbers, not a single hostage can be harmed." Hades said.

For this operation, they brought a lot of professional equipment, which is a tactic when dealing with piracy, and they have already conducted several trainings.

Dealing with pirates is a part-time job in the Marine Corps, and now, dealing with armed personnel who hijack ships, their course of action is somewhat similar to that of pirates.

After the inspection, I heard a voice from the cabin in front of me: "I am about to arrive at the airdrop sea." ”

Hades glanced out, and saw nothing but the dark sea, and their battle was about to begin.

If someone can see clearly in the darkness now, they can see that in addition to the helicopter is more special, the helicopter is also more special, and when it flies, there is a special thing hanging on it!

That thing, it's a rubber boat!

Rubber boats, which are a means of transportation for the Marine Corps, give them the means to sail on the sea, they can't use helicopters to land directly, otherwise, this task is the Sidewinder special forces, they need to take rubber boats, secretly approach each other, look at the entire Iraqi armed forces, only they, have this skill.

The Marine Corps is equipped with a total of two kinds of rubber boats, one is small, all made of natural rubber, natural rubber has wear resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance, acid and alkali resistance, tear resistance, flexion resistance cracking, good air tightness, high strength, light weight and other qualities, is the best choice for rubber boats, this kind of inflatable rubber boat, after deflating, easy to carry, when used, first inflated, however, this rubber boat is only suitable for use on the coast, moreover, there is no engine, can only be used by hand paddling, this rubber boat, Not suitable for the current working conditions.

And the other is a large rubber boat, which is also made of rubber, but this rubber boat cannot be folded, because the bottom is not the same rubber as the side, but a hard bottom made of aviation aluminum alloy material, and there is an engine in the tail, this large rubber boat is convenient to use in the case of low sea conditions at sea, and what they brought this time is this kind of rubber boat, so it can only be hung on the belly of the CH-47 helicopter.

After the helicopter continued to fly for two minutes, it began to hover, and then continued to slowly reduce altitude.
