Chapter 521: Merchant Ship Attacked

Not only the flagship sounded the alarm, but the entire escort formation sounded the alarm!

On the way back to the cabin, Li Mu and the others clearly felt that the sea beast under their feet was accelerating!

"Level 1 Battle Alert! No. 1 Battle Attire! Hurry!" Li Mu shouted wildly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The terrible sirens continued to sound, and all the posts entered a combat state in the shortest possible time, and soon the radio announcement was issued: "Attention! This is a state of emergency! This is a state of emergency! Huazheng No. 51 freighter has been attacked by pirates! We must rush to the rescue! All departments are ready, and the anti-hijacking force is ready!"

The bulletin was broadcast three times in a row, and the situation was clear.

In the command room of the ship's building, Rear Admiral Fang's intelligence staff officers, communications staff officers, and technical noncommissioned officers were busy. There are constantly news reports to Major General Fang.

"Report! Chief, the situation has been ascertained, and the Huazheng No. 51 that was attacked was a 50,000-ton ro-ro freighter of a certain shipping company in China, which returned to Shanghai from a South African seaport with only a dozen containers on board. Checked the itinerary and they planned to ......"

Major General Fang raised his hand to interrupt the report of the combat staff officer, "Pick something useful!"

"The attacked freighter was seventy-three nautical miles away from our formation, heading northwest, toward the coastline. The operational staff officer ended the report with one sentence.

"Have you notified the Seawolf Special Operations Team?" asked Major General Fang.

Before the operational staff officer could answer, Yang Zhiyuan strode in, "Old Fang!"

"Lao Yang! came just in time. Major General Fang turned around and walked with Yang Zhiyuan to the chart, and the combat staff officer immediately went over to mark the location of the attacked freighter.

Major General Fang said, "The SOS signal was cut off two minutes ago, and the situation could be very dangerous." Go at once. It will take an hour for the formation to arrive at the sea area at the earliest, and you will not have any support until then. ”

"Understood, I'll go right away. Yang Zhiyuan nodded.

"Old Yang. Major General Fang stopped Yang Zhiyuan, who was about to leave, walked up to him, and said, "You are the director of the Special Operations Bureau, and your post is not on the front line." ”

"I'm relieved to be in command. Yang Zhiyuan said.

Major General Fang said, "But there is no need to be on the front line. Listen to me, let go and let the young go. Since you have chosen them from all over the army, you should trust their abilities. Besides, don't forget, it's you, not me, who is the commander of the anti-hijacking operation. Your location is here. ”

Frowning, Yang Zhiyuan had to seriously consider Major General Fang's words.

That's true.

If we don't let go of the Seawolf Special Combat Team, will we have to personally lead the team in every mission in the next three months? That would lose half of the meaning of selecting team members from the whole army.

"Okay, I'll go give them a briefing. ”

Major General Fang took the hand-held tablet terminal from the combat staff officer and handed it over, "Bring this, all the relevant information can be queried on it." I will prepare the carrier-based helicopters for sorties. ”

"Understood. ”

Yang Zhiyuan took the handheld tablet terminal and left in a hurry.

The six members of the Seawolf Special Combat Team have been assembled in the established officer conference room, which is specially opened up for the Sea Wolf Special Operations Team to give briefings, and there are no special requirements, and the assembly point is here.

Li Mu and the others were fully armed, sat down in the conference room, and even painted the camouflage on their faces, waiting for Yang Zhiyuan's arrival.

Yang Zhiyuan strode in, Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought in his heart, why is the wolf head unarmed?

"Comrades!" Yang Zhiyuan stood still, pressed his hand and motioned for the soldiers who stood up to sit down, "The situation is urgent, let's start a briefing." ”

"Look at the big screen. Yang Zhiyuan's baton pointed to the red dot marked on the satellite map, "Huazheng 51 rolling freighter, displacement of 50,000 tons, according to the current situation, whether the ship has been hijacked, can not be determined." This ship is similar to the ro-ro freighter you conducted the last exercise, and it is an improved model. Your task is to first find out the situation of the Huazheng 51, and if the pirates are attacking the ship, you don't need to ask for instructions and resolutely fight back. If it has been hijacked, don't act rashly, report to the command center first!"

As he spoke, Yang Zhiyuan's gaze fell on Li Mu, "Li Mu leads the team, from today onwards, you are the commander of the Seawolf Special Operations Team, and you are specifically responsible for tactical operations." Time is pressing, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Li Mu didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out with his brothers and rushed towards the flight deck.

The remaining two ships, the marines on the integrated supply ship are also ready, and they can even use speedboats if necessary, provided that the mother ship is to enter a certain range, and the speedboat obviously does not have much endurance.

The other destroyer, which had already accelerated to its maximum speed, and the gas turbine engines were running at full capacity, pulling the warship to its top speed of thirty-three knots, and it was rushing wildly with cleaving the waves. Thirty-three is equal to sixty-one kilometers per hour, and one can imagine what it would be like for a warship with a displacement of five or six thousand tons to run wildly on the surface of the sea at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Since the flagship is going to take off a carrier-based helicopter, it is not yet possible to accelerate to the maximum speed.

The Seawolf special combat team ran out of the passage, did not stop for a moment, and then got into the crew compartment of the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter, and the ground control personnel shook their fingers, and the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter took off, climbed, and accelerated its speed towards the sea area where the incident occurred.

At this time, the flagship increased its horsepower, and soon increased to the maximum speed, and the integrated supply ships behind also exerted all their strength, and the three warships were marching in columns, separated by two chains from each other, avoiding each other's wake.

On the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter, the members of the Seawolf special operations team are methodically checking their weapons and equipment, adjusting their clothing, and making sure that they are in the most comfortable state. Only when you feel comfortable can you exert your strongest combat effectiveness, otherwise you always feel that the dress affects a certain part of the body, which obviously affects the performance.

"Correspondence check, I'm a shepherd, one-two-three-one-two-three. Li Mu pressed the call button.

"I was a shot, received. ”

"I'm graceful, clear. ”

......

The rest replied.

Communication is very important, Li Mu took out the satellite phone, the headset was plugged into the other ear, and the contact with the command center, he could only contact the satellite phone, after all, at such a long distance, there was no way for the individual radio on their body to contact the command center on the flagship.

Our army still has a long way to go before it can reach the level of combining the three armed forces and even reaching the level of individual soldiers.

"Nest, I'm a shepherd, requesting a communication channel. Li Mu called according to the regulations.

Soon, the flagship command center replied: "The nest received, the communication channel has been established, it's over!"

"Roger, done!"

The Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter flew at its top speed, and on the morning of less than an hour after the sun rose, it galloped towards the area of the incident in the southwest direction of the formation......
