In order to maintain the flexibility of the mission, large warships are generally equipped with small boats, which can be used for water rescue, driving away suspicious ships, etc., and the Beijing ship is also equipped with four small boats with a displacement of about 100 tons.

This kind of dinghy is a catamaran, simply put, it is a buoyancy body divided into two, the two hulls share a deck, the history of this kind of boat, can be traced back to the days of canoes, when people found that the hull sometimes looked too thin in front of the waves, a slightly larger Lang would overturn the boat.

So the clever man came up with a way to connect the two ships with a deck, and later found that this kind of ship is not easy to tilt in the big Lang, let alone capsize, in the terminology of modern ships, that is, the seakeeping has improved, and later it was discovered that the hull carrying the deck does not need to be very wide, so the hull is made slender, so that the speed of the ship is also increased.

In addition, the speed of the Beijing warship adopts the latest propulsion technology, and its maximum speed has reached an astonishing 50 knots, and it is important to know that the speed of the large warship in the road will come to an end when it reaches 30 knots.

If such a speedboat is equipped with missiles, it will become a missile speedboat, but this kind of missile speedboat has one of the most fatal flaws in combat use, that is: the detection distance of the radar is too close! The farther the detection range of the radar, the greater the power required, and the corresponding power supply size and element size will increase, and this increase will exceed the bearing range of the speedboat, so such a speedboat can only rely on the system to fight, through the early warning aircraft and large warships, transmit the location information of the enemy ship.

The same is true for this fast boat, the drone of the Beijing ship transmits the position information of the fleet for it, according to the confession of the later life, the identification of the opium transport fleet is three yellow lights, this information is useless for the drone, although the drone is equipped with a radar using synthetic aperture technology, with the function of radar imaging, but the accuracy of the imaging is far from enough to see three yellow lights the size of sesame mung beans.

However, this water area is far away from the Tanggu Port in Tianjin, and the ships will naturally not come here, so as long as a fleet deviates from the usual route to this water, it almost means that it is the ship that Lin Yuan needs to find.

The two fast boats headed towards the fleet, and at a distance of about 30 kilometers from the fleet, the fast boats turned on the sea search radar, and the loss of electromagnetic waves in the air can be basically ignored, so theoretically speaking, the radar can receive echoes at infinity, but those useful echoes are already extremely weak, so that they cannot be distinguished from the messy clutter by means of signal processing.

Therefore, the radar detection distance of the fast boat is 30 kilometers, but the radar on the fast boat has no imaging ability, and what it knows is only the direction and speed of the target, but these are enough for the fast boat, and the radar quickly detected the specific direction of the fleet.

The fast boat must pull the fleet into the visual range to determine whether they are the ships that Lin Yuan wants, if this fleet is not, they must go to reconnoiter the next one, so they must rush to the position of the fleet as soon as possible, this kind of fast boat uses a water jet propulsion device, the main engine is driven to the maximum power, the main engine drives the impeller to rotate rapidly, sucks the seawater into the impeller, and the seawater accelerates and sprays backwards under the impetus of the impeller, increasing the speed of the ship to forty-five knots.

Soon, the fast boat saw the fleet, in the dark night, the yellow light was particularly dazzling, on the deck of the fast boat, Lu Xiang led several soldiers of the Marine Corps, waiting for the battle, Lin Yuan analyzed that the people on these ships were very likely to be equipped with weapons, so on the fast boat, two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns firmly put the people on the boat into the crosshairs.

After Lu Xiang identified the target, he said to the soldiers under him: "Send a signal to our tugboat, we have found the target, let them come over as soon as possible." ”

When the signal was given, one of the warriors asked, "Since we want to take the ship, we must let them stop first, what do we say?" ”

Lu Xiang said: "Let's just say that we are pirates. ”

So the fast boat slowed down, and when it approached the head boat, one of the warriors shouted: "Stop!" Rob! ”

When the head of the ship saw a strange-looking ship approaching him in the darkness, the captain wondered in his heart, and thought, "Where is this ship, how can you meet us?" ”

When the ship boss heard this sentence of "robbery", he couldn't help but laugh twice, it turned out that the ship boss was a pirate, robbing on weekdays, and a mysterious person came to hire and transport opium, but I didn't expect to meet my peers today.

The captain of the boat did not give the order to stop the ship, but stood at the bow of the boat and shouted, "Which island are you from?" ”

Pirates are usually entrenched on islands, so the captain wants to ask where they came from, but the soldiers on the Beijing ship do not understand this, so they shout: "Stop!" ”

The boss of the boat didn't want to cause more trouble, so he said: "Brother, we eat the same bowl of rice, in the river Jiao of Lower Luwei Island!" Say a million things, right? ”

Lu Xiang heard this and thought, "I didn't expect them to be pirates!" But that's fine, it's a lot easier. ”

The soldiers on the deck didn't understand Jiang Jiao's black words, and said angrily: "What you are!" Stop me the boat. ”

Where did Jiang Jiao receive this, seeing that the fast boat was very small, he sneered and ordered his subordinates: "Shoot me and kill the people above!" ”

The people on the ship are also murderous pirates, as soon as they heard the boss's order, a few of them picked up guns, after all, pirates with guns are a minority, and there are twenty earthen guns in the hands of Jiang Jiao, who is already a tyrant among pirates, so they blatantly take out their guns and stand on the deck to fight.

Lu Xiang looked at all this and thought, "We have two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, which can accommodate your little earth guns!"

Lu Xiang made a gesture to the machine gunner to shoot, the heavy machine gun roared angrily, the machine gunner fired a long burst, the dense bullets flew towards the pirates on the ship, the 12.7 mm bullets they used, the bullets would explode after hitting the body, the entrance was an eye, the exit was a big hole, a pirate was shot more than a dozen times, the entire upper body was destroyed, and only two legs were left.

The ten pirates with guns were beaten to pieces of meat in a blink of an eye, and when Jiang Jiao saw it, he was also ruthless, and said angrily: "Those who can move come out, let me get them to death." ”

As soon as he heard this, more than a dozen pirates suddenly poured out of the cabin, holding bows and arrows, shooting towards the fast boat, one of the functions of the fast boat is to drive away the pirates rowing the boat, in order to prevent being killed by the opponent's small arms when approaching the enemy, so the heavy machine gun has guards on both sides, and the steel plate is enough to ensure that it is not penetrated by 12.7 mm armor-piercing rifle bullets, where can these bows and arrows hurt them.

This time, the machine gunner saw a lot of people, but he didn't need to shoot long, he deftly turned the gun body, aimed at the pirates, and shot one after another, all of which were tracer bullets, so in the eyes of those pirates, after every green light, there would be a big hole in the body of a companion around him, and Jiang Jiao saw that his people were knocked down without even touching the edge of the opponent's clothes, and he was furious!

Seeing that the two boats were close, he had a plan and said, "Come on, take the springboard, let's go up and grab the boat." ”

Lu Xiang saw that the pirates had no intention of giving in, and thought to himself, "It's time for our high-power weapons to play." ”
