Chapter 1142: What the hell
In the NATO military's sequence of operations, this should be regarded as a standard sea rescue operation, and it is an air-dropped rescue, and the use of helicopters is the most suitable.
According to the style of those professional teams in European and American countries, such an operation should have a standard commando team, a reserve team, an evacuation and rescue team, plus a variety of collaborative tools, which can come up with a lot of plans, but here at Buck, they usually try it first!
Perhaps the somewhat reckless style of the former Soviet Union has penetrated into the marrow of Eastern Europeans, and Buck's meticulousness can only be a minor addition.
Retracting his body, Buck checked his firearm again: "Climb over, glide and land in the direction of the wide sea!"
There is no complex risk assessment, no detailed geological and hydrological report, let's talk about it!
The twin otters' clumsy-looking bodies slid into the water before turning off their engines and gliding down the surface of the water towards the cargo ship for a while, but there was still a distance of more than 500 meters......
In fact, the other side of the cargo ship is only one or two hundred meters away from an island, and according to the draft of this ship's full cargo, such a beach may be about to run aground, right?
What the hell is it that so many dinghys are all around the outside of the cargo ship?
And from the observation of the seaplane just now, most of the dinghy was concentrated on the side of the cargo ship facing the sea surface, which was the direction that Buck and his rowing boat were approaching.
Bactor took a satellite phone, and the captain's voice could be heard in the one-sided earphone: "They fired a few shots when they boarded the ship, they haven't fired a shot in the past few hours, I don't know what they are doing, they tried to storm the engine room a few times, but they didn't get any effect but they didn't retreat, it seems that they have been knocking and chiseling through the steel plates?"
Buck also asked the captain to give the phone to Liu Changyuan, this kid can be regarded as having experienced a lot of things, and he can still speak strongly: "It's okay! We're all okay...... I didn't get hurt...... but there was a girl's sobbing next to me, and it was estimated that I had been listening to the sound of pirates clanging outside smashing the ship, and anyone was under great psychological pressure, whether it was to scuttle the ship or open the engine room, it was very frightening and cruel to the besieged crew, especially the three young girls who had already experienced being trafficked.
Fortunately, Buck's words were comforting: "We have arrived, just on the surface of the sea nearby, and now we are trying to get closer, and we can already see the outline of the hull...... Okay, I can hear the tapping!" Gently swinging his arms, the four young men who were struggling to paddle all stopped, and the other three-old guy's dinghy took a few minutes to approach the side of the board under the contact of the walkie-talkie, at this time there was no need to speak, Buck just made a gesture, and the old Maxim They quietly lowered the small iron anchor from the rubber boat, and the rubber boat would float quietly at a distance of about two hundred meters, becoming a peripheral monitoring and cover point, two AK rifles and the old Maxim's M14 rifle were set up on the side of the hull, and the three people lying on their stomachs were almost integrated with the sea。
The young man sitting on the bulging side of the rubber boat was also lying on his stomach and paddling, and Buck was lying on the boat alone and was responsible for observing the scheduling: "Come on the port side, stop on the right, Ah Nu, you can stop when you see others in front of you......"
Because Buck found that many of the more than a dozen dinghys with guns that could be vaguely seen in the night vision goggles were shouting loudly, and these fishing boats and dinghies with diesel engines were all running!
Compared with container sea vessels and oil tankers, the hull of this bulk carrier below 10,000 tons is leaner and longer, and there is no wide and flat deck like that of large cargo ships, and the ship's side is not so high, and now the waterline is very low when it is full of cargo.
But don't you usually leave after the robbery?
It looks like so many dinghys are pushing the freighter to shore on one side, this is the rhythm of snatching the whole freighter away?
Buck had heard of Somali pirates doing this, but that was on the vast East African coastline, far away from any powerful country, and it was not impossible to hide a ship, and in this strait dozens of kilometers wide, as long as the navy and air force of several countries worked together to mobilize a few dozen planes in fine weather, it was easy to search for any large ship, is this crazy?
The captain explained what they did on the satellite phone: "When we saw them climb onto deck, we immediately turned off all engines and control equipment, and we couldn't start the hull even more when we hid in the engine room......
Buck couldn't understand the vague local language, so he could only silently ask the rubber dinghy to row around the stern, intending to go around to the other side, and when he turned around, the support boat with the night vision fluorescent strip in the distance and the seaplane farther away were all shining, and he thought that his actions could also be seen in their sight.
Except for the occasional paddling sound, the figures who were all lying on the rubber boat floated silently on the surface of the water more than a hundred meters away like a floating object, listening to the shouts that were obviously excited and full of irritability, and then looking at the green-white figure waving the gun in the night vision goggle, I began to feel a little sense of urgency, the kind of fighting spirit that gradually improved in the face of the possible battle.
Monocular night vision devices are actually very uncomfortable to wear, Buck has to stiffen his neck to lie on his stomach and tilt his head slightly to observe the side of the boat, whispering to the walkie-talkie to remind the rowing movement to be smaller, he even considered whether to let old Maxim mark the occasional swaying figure on the side of the boat to shoot to attract attention, but as he got closer, Buck clearly saw that it seemed to be a child's figure......
For this kind of poor pirate who is a soldier for all, although he has no sympathy, he doesn't have much hatred, and it is more likely that he has been messing around with his wife and children for too long at home recently, and he doesn't feel the need to be so ruthless, right?
Especially when the rubber boat turned to the stern, little Maxim, who was rowing on his side, poked him in the waist with the tip of the oar, and by the not very bright moonlight, Buck saw that on the cable post on the stern side of the boat, there was actually a woman holding a child and feeding something!
That action is no different from Zhou Xiaoli's appearance of feeding Xiao San at home, but the family is rich in materials, and here is so poor that you have to be a robber to feed the children.
So Buck completely dismissed the idea of letting old Maxim shoot: "Come closer...... Walk close to the stern of the boat to avoid being spotted by people on the side of the boat...... Let's just try to disperse these guys!"
Even the smallest sea vessel, the butt is still so wide compared to the rubber boat, and the oars are propped up on the hull of the boat and slowly move over the tail, and the clanging sound becomes more and more clear, and then Buck and the others are stunned to see these pirates smashing the hull of the ship with the most primitive axe and hammer on several fishing boats lined up with flashlight torches, and smashing the part above the waterline!
Where is this way to sink the ship or attack the engine room, it is clearly to knock a gap in the side of the hull that is dozens of meters long!
What the hell are they doing?R1148
