Life on a freighter is based on the principle of day and night.

This was done because of fears of Soviet spy satellites...... We have seen the power of American spy satellites, and we know exactly how many of us have boarded the train Yankees, and the Soviet Union also has spy satellites, and our freighter is still bound for Pakistan, a sensitive area, so we naturally have to be careful.

As for eating or something...... Naturally, it was all put into the evening, and during the day, we just spread out the march in the container and slept a lot.

Of course, only these people from our battalion headquarters can sleep...... As for the soldiers, in order to maintain their physical strength and fighting spirit, they have to do physical training even in a shipping container. However, because of the small space, the only training subjects that can be carried out are crouches, sit-ups or gun maintenance.

Perhaps because of the instructions of the superiors, Li Ming, the captain and the crew rarely contacted us and did not come to ask us any questions...... They didn't dare to come near us at all, except for bringing us meals in containers on a regular basis.

I found out later...... In fact, these crew members have been carefully screened and carefully examined, and they have been repeatedly warned that this matter is related to state secrets, and if the news is leaked, they will be dealt with severely...... So the crew had to stay away from us.

But after the freighter had been at sea for more than ten days...... Li Ming and the captain took the initiative to find me......

The soldiers have not had a good time in the past ten days, mainly because many people have never been on a boat in their lives, and suddenly they are wobbly when they even sleep on this sea, so they will naturally feel a little unaccustomed. Among them, the strongest reaction should be Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao...... The two of them were very excited at first. They have basically stayed in the mountains all their lives. This was the first time they had seen the sea, so they stayed up all night watching the stars and the sea on the deck...... But the next day, when the wind and waves were a little stronger, the freighter shook and they were miserable, and they vomited a lot, but fortunately, Li Ming and the captain had already taken this into account and specially prepared a few barrels in the container...... Otherwise, we don't know what will become here.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" On this day, Li Minghe looked a little flustered and went to the container to find me, and said, "It's inconvenient for you...... A trip to the cab? ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I heard this, it was daytime...... It's time for us to hide.

But I know it too...... If it weren't for the last resort, Li Minghe would not have chosen to do this.

So I straightened my military uniform and walked out with Li Minghe...... I just thought about it. Even if the Soviet spy satellites were to keep an eye on our freighter, they would not have noticed such a trivial matter as one more person.

"What's the situation?" I asked as I followed Captain Lee to the wheelhouse.

"I'm not sure either!" Captain Lee said, "But...... Maybe we've run into pirates! ”

"Pirates?" I couldn't help but feel amused when I heard this...... Our ship is carrying 500 well-trained and well-equipped warriors! There are even pirates......

But on second thought...... Our march was a secret, and if we were to engage with pirates, it wouldn't reveal everything.

"Look here!" After the captain led me into the wheelhouse, he pointed to two small bright spots on the radar and said, "These two boats have been following us for two hours, and they have suddenly picked up...... At this rate, it will only take them half an hour to catch up with us! ”

"Are you sure it's a pirate?" I asked.

"Not sure!" The captain shook his head: "But we deliberately changed course, but these two ships also changed course!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, the captain was clever enough to prove that the two ships were pirates...... But at least it turns out that they came for the freighter.

After thinking about it, I asked, "Have you ever encountered pirates before?" ”

"Yes!"

"How to fix it?"

"Speed up and stall for time. Call for help! Captain Lee replied, "But ...... now"

"Oh!" I understood when I saw the embarrassed look on Captain Lee's face, because we were on board. And there is no light to be seen...... So it's just not appropriate to call for help.

"Usually we sail in a fleet!" Captain Li continued: "There will be some armed escorts in the fleet, and the pirates will not dare to attack our idea, but this time it ......"

I nodded...... This time, it was obviously also for secrecy, so I sailed alone, but I didn't expect to become the target of pirates.

I looked at my watch, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon......

So I asked, "Is there a way to delay until dark?" ”

Captain Li shook his head helplessly.

"Speed up!" I said, "Hold it out as long as you can, and try to put it off until dark!" ”

"Yes!" Captain Lee answered, and quickly conveyed the order.

And then when we got up to speed, those two highlights also sped up at the same time...... So there is no need to think about it, most likely the pirates can't escape.

It didn't take long to hear the crew shouting from the crew holding binoculars, "Captain...... The target appeared, two speedboats...... All have guns! ”

I hurried up a few steps and raised my binoculars to take a look...... Indeed, two speedboats were flanking our freighter, one left and one right.

I want to laugh when I see them like this...... I counted carefully, and there were only seven people in the two speedboats, and they had a variety of weapons in their hands, three AK47s, two old-fashioned pull-bolt rifles, and the other two even had revolvers in their hands......

Such an armed still be a pirate? I couldn't help but look at Captain Lee with some confusion.

Captain Li seemed to see through my thoughts, and explained helplessly: "Battalion Commander Yang...... These pirates may look like ants in your eyes, but for us they are different, and what do we have in our hands at best a few knives? ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly...... The truth may really be as Captain Li said, peaceful shijie...... There are some things that those of us who have rolled out of the battlefield can imagine.

"How long will it take to catch up?" I asked.

I can't estimate the speed of the ship or anything, so of course I'll have to ask Captain Lee about these things.

"Ten minutes to go!" Captain Li said: "If you want to drag it until dark, I'm afraid it's difficult!" ”

"What will they do?" I asked again.

"They're going to hook our side with a rack!" "Then they climbed aboard our boat and forced us to change course and go where they wanted us to go," Captain Lee said...... And then the whole cargo of the ship will be theirs, even our crew and this ship...... The family needs to be ransomed with ransom, otherwise it will ......"

Needless to say, I understand what follows.

"So be it!" After thinking about it, I said, "Let them get on board...... And to meet all their requirements, just wait until dark...... Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Captain Li responded, but a trace of horror flashed in his eyes and said, "Camp Commander Yang...... What if this pirate kills people indiscriminately? ”

"It doesn't matter!" I said, "I'll bring a couple of people over and mix in the crew...... If it really doesn't work, just get rid of them! ”

"Oh!" Captain Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying that, I ran back to the container in three steps and two steps and shouted, "All of them, ready for battle!" Li Zuolong, Bayonet, Saheide...... A few of you come with me, and the others are under the command of the deputy battalion commander......"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded violently, they had been training in the container for so many days, they had long wanted to move their muscles and bones, and they were inexplicably excited when they heard that there was a mission.

"Battalion commander!" Zhang Zuoliang caught up and asked when we unloaded our equipment and went to the cab: "What is the situation of the enemy?" ”

"Hmm!" At this time, I realized that Zhang Zuoliang and the others had been staying in the container and knew nothing about the situation of pirates, so I responded: "The enemy is pirates...... There were seven people in total, three AK47s, two rifles and two pistols......"

"What? Seven people? And with a pistol? Zhang Zuoliang looked at me in disbelief, and the soldiers also made a disappointing sound.

"Arrange it for me!" I took off my belt and hat and said, "Don't be careless, don't do anything for a while...... Don't do it until it gets dark...... You want to keep your crew safe, you know? ”

"Understood!"

After explaining this, I waved my hand and ran back to the cab with Li Zuolong, who had already been disarmed......

Captain Li was stunned when he saw us: "Battalion Commander Yang...... You guys...... Didn't even bring a gun? That ......"

I know what Captain Lee meant, he thought that if we didn't have guns, we would not even be able to protect ourselves, so how could we protect the safety of the crew.

"Don't worry!" Li Zuolong smiled: "It's just a few pirates...... You can't escape without a gun! ”

"Hmm!" Captain Lee answered, and half-convinced us to sit down next to the crew.

I raised my binoculars again and looked at the two speedboats...... At this time, they had already driven to our left and right sides, and they were very arrogant and fired a shuttle of bullets into the sky, holding a small horn and shouting at the wheelhouse in stiff Chinese: "Stop the ship immediately, we are the police, and we want to check your cargo!" ”

Depend on! Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart...... That's the excuse, isn't it? They all dressed like beggars and pretended to be policemen...... And the police won't shoot at the sky before the inspection!

But I still ordered Captain Lee, "Stop!" ”

The freighter quickly slowed down and then slowly stopped, much to the delight of the pirates...... Before the boat stopped, he hooked up the stairs on the side of the ship and climbed up one by one......

But what they don't know is that they are ...... I'm afraid I'll never go back! (To be continued......)
