Episode 65 Divine Soldiers from the Sky

At 6:40 a.m., it was already east of the Riau and Linga Islands, and the surrounding sea was open, and the complex archipelago was left behind.

The Kui Wood Wolf turned off the power and did not drop anchor, just floated in place and waited.

By this time it was already dawn, and the sun was rising rapidly, and it would soon be at the top of the sun, recreating the scorching heat of the tropical sun. Xiang Xiaoqiang irritably circled around the deck, constantly looking at his watch. I knew there were still fifty minutes left, but I always looked at the northwest sky, hoping that the hopeful black dot would appear earlier.

The more he looked at the two pirates, the more unpleasant he became, and went straight to them, and beat them up for no reason. The two pirates didn't know what they had done wrong, their eyes were blue and their noses were bleeding, but they already knew that this young man was so powerful that they thought they were unlucky, and they didn't dare to say a word when they were beaten.

After venting his anger to Xiaoqiang, several officers next to him also persuaded him. Xiang Xiaoqiang calmed down a little at this time, and asked the officers to take him to see the weapons on the ship. Xiang Xiaoqiang was also able to get close to the destroyer's 102-mm main gun, 40-mm ping-pong gun, 20-mm machine gun, 12.7-mm machine gun, depth charge launcher, and torpedo for the first time......

With these real guys as company, time flies quickly.

Ten minutes before the agreed time, the bridge received a radio call from the "Albatross" aircraft. The Timber Wolf was guided by radio, and after a while, a black spot appeared in the southwest sky.

Soon the black dot grew larger and turned into a bloated belly seaplane. The roar of the propeller resounded between the sea and the sky, and the big seaplane circled twice in mid-air, then slowly pressed the nose of the plane, and really rushed on the water like an albatross, dragging the white waves and jumping a few times, slowly slowing down, and finally roaring slowly to a place dozens of meters away from the destroyer and stopped.

The Kui Wood Wolf immediately put down the lifeboat, and several sailors rowed their oars and leaned next to the seaplane, and the hatch of the plane was also opened, and several large canvas bags were handed down one by one. The lifeboat was filled with several large bags and rowed back to the destroyer. At the same time, a second lifeboat rowed towards the plane.

These canvas bags were hoisted on the deck by ropes, and Xiang Xiaoqiang squatted on the deck to take them apart. There was a large crowd of sailors, all sticking their heads out to see the weapons that were about to be issued to them.

Presumably to save space, these guns were not packed in wooden crates, as in the usual transport, but in bulk. When I opened the canvas, there were heavy oilcloth bags inside, which were tightly wrapped. The oilcloth bag was undone, revealing brand new submachine guns, rifles, bayonets, and butter.

Other small oilcloth bags, when opened, revealed boxes of bullets, submachine gun magazines, light machine gun magazines, and grenades, also buttered......

Very good. Xiang Xiaoqiang wiped the butter off his hands on the canvas and stood up satisfied. These murder weapons will soon come in handy.

……

The two lifeboats made several trips, and all the cargo, as well as the two mortarists, boarded the Timberwolf. The Timber Wolf signaled the seaplane and honked its horn in thanks.

The "Albatross" seaplane also sent back its signal light to the destroyer, and then the propeller roared again, dragging its huge body and gliding on the water, jumping out of the water one by one, rising into the air, and flying toward Singapore, which is several dozen nautical miles away in the northwest direction.

Singapore is a British territory, and although Ming warships cannot enter, it can still be used as an unarmed water transport aircraft. The Ming consulate in Singapore has contacted a tanker truck loaded with aviation fuel and driven to the dock to refuel the Albatross seaplane. After that, the seaplane will take off again and search the waters off Malacca with a range of 1,300 km.

Thick black smoke erupted from the top of the destroyer Kui Wood Wolf, and the speed was pulled to 30 knots, cleaving the waves, and heading west towards the mouth of the Gamba River on the island of Pazia. The mouth of the Gamba River is still more than 60 nautical miles away, and it can be reached in two hours. The first mate took a few sailors, carrying canvas bags, to various posts on the ship to issue weapons and ammunition to the sailors. The speed was so fast that it was a bit difficult for the ship to stand firm. But time is of the essence now, and a minute earlier to take out the pirate's den and ask for the location of the Princess Yongan a minute earlier could save dozens or hundreds of lives.

……

To the south, the Linga Islands, which are further away from Singapore, are more inhospitable than the Riau Islands. There are dozens or hundreds of islands and reefs, large and small, and the waterways are intricately maze-like, and it is easy to hide not a huge ship here, but also a city.

The Yongan Princess stopped here.

Compared to the huge islands around it, the Princess Yongan is like a small matchbox. In the middle of the dark green mountains, the black hull, white buildings, and red chimneys of the Yongan Princess are still eye-catching.

On the white ship's floor, a dozen shirtless and dark-skinned men shouted trumpets, and were diligently pulling up fishing nets and laying them on the roof of the ship, hanging them among the three chimneys. A few people in the front lay fishing nets, and a few people in the back hugged tree branches, obviously attracted by the splash of the oars. Several of the sailors clearly felt the oars in their hands being bitten hard. Two sailors were even nervous, and the oars in their hands were "taken away" by sharks.

……

Suddenly, there was a loud roar of guns on the destroyer behind his head, 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm machine guns roared wildly, and the sailors of the six lifeboats were already very close to the passenger ship and could not see what was happening above, but they all knew that it had been fired, and there was no need to hide. Everyone shouted:

"Row! Come on! Come on! ”

"Rush on board and kill them all!"

At this time, they didn't care about any sound, everyone picked up the oars and rowed desperately, and the six lifeboats were like freestylers, lapping the white waves, and quickly approaching the passenger boat.

"Uhhh

"Uhhh

Suddenly, a large amount of white smoke erupted from the two lifeboats, and the two soldiers were so nervous that they forgot that they were almost there, so they opened the smoke screen instead, and in an instant their own lifeboats were wrapped in a thick smoke screen.

", what's going on!"

"Fuck you!"

"Who is this, isn't this looking for trouble!"

The soldiers cursed, the white smoke in front of them making it impossible to see the distance, and the two lifeboats slammed into the hull of the passenger ship, nearly knocking the sailors off. But they didn't care, and threw the anchor hook up as hard as they had arranged in advance, and then the first man climbed up the rope with a submachine gun on his shoulder and a rope ladder on his back.

The first soldier to climb up climbed over the railing, rolled on the deck, grabbed his submachine gun and looked around, where there were only two bloody corpses. He immediately untied the rope ladder from his back and hung it on the railing. The teammates below will be able to climb up quickly.

Within seconds, all six "forerunners" had climbed onto the deck and hung up rope ladders. A moment later, twenty or thirty sailors came up from the deck.

A shirtless man rushed out with a rifle in his arms, and when he saw so many people, he was stunned and immediately ran back. But several sailors immediately lay down and opened fire, and his back suddenly became a hornet's nest, and he fell on the deck with blood.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

The sailors shouted wildly and rushed into the hull with submachine guns.

Immediately there was a burst of gunfire.
