Chapter 2 Can't get out

"These guys are different, if you shout surrender, they won't necessarily let you go, you still have to die of this heart!"

The veteran who was called an old guy by Shepard is called Promri, in his own words, a veteran who has been heartbroken, and Shepard has no objection to this, after all, an old guy who can serve in the army for thirty years is not much!

"Then we'll rely on this to fight each other, it's a cannon over there! We only have two bazookas, and even if you can hit them from a kilometer away, they can beat you into a sieve from three kilometers away! ”

Shepard said a little disgraced.

"Who said we were going to fight?"

Lao Pu picked up the bazooka and made a gesture.

"This thing just makes a noise, we are only ten kilometers away from the naval blockade line, as long as we can drag it out until that time, even if we win, we will fight with gunboats, and a fool will not do this!"

Shepard's gaffe is not surprising, recruits on the battlefield out of control abound, Shepard not only did not mess with himself, but even could give orders is already top-notch, if the boss he met can be half of the level of the other party, he will not turn him into a woman.

"Can we make it in time?"

Shepard also calmed down a little when he heard this.

"Then you have to gamble!"

Lao Pu picked up the binoculars and stuffed them into Shepard.

The Black Mermaid was now fully engined, as the contents of the hold had been unloaded and empty, so it was soon at top speed, and the propellers spun rapidly to cut through the waves, and then turned into large chunks of white foam that shot out from under the paddles, and then dissipated by the impact of the waves.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides has been shortened from about eight kilometers at the beginning to six kilometers, and although the other side's gunboats are very old, they are still much faster than freighters.

At this moment, there is still no answer on the radio, only the constant calls of the other party on the public channel.

As the two ships continued to draw closer, the other party's call changed from a request to stop the ship to a threat of force, and even the 37 guns had been loaded with empty shells for a round of shock shooting.

The piercing sound of cannons came from behind, which immediately made everyone on the ship look embarrassed, Shepard was not even ready to slip away, there were three small boats on the ship, and he could secretly open up while the other party's attention was attracted by the freighter.

As for what kind of fight to the end, Shepard didn't think about it at all, he was here to cross the gold this time, not to give his life!

Naturally, Primri thought of this, and as the backbone of the company, he naturally understood what to choose at this moment.

"Hey, don't panic, it's not the last moment yet, you'll follow me later!"

Lao Pu whispered comfort to Shepard.

"Good!"

Shepard nodded, he didn't have any other choice at this moment, before Old Man Smith asked him to listen to Plumley's opinion in case of trouble, then now, he can only be a lifesaver!

After a round of deterrent shelling, the gunboat found that the freighter still showed no signs of slowing down, immediately changed the ammunition, and began warning fire again, the replaced live ammunition flew out of the gun chamber under the pressure of the combustion of the medicine chamber, and then fell into the sea on both sides of the freighter, splashing waves, the whistling sound of the armor-piercing warhead in the air also irritated people's eardrums, and even Shepard could see with the naked eye that the light flew up from a distance, and then fell on the side of the ship with a sigh.

"How far is it!"

"The last three kilometers!"

The captain who was in the wheelhouse said helplessly.

"Stop the boat, you can't run away!"

Promri was also helpless, the last three kilometers seemed close, but the Yarra gunboat was closer, three kilometers away, the Black Mermaid would take at least fifteen minutes, and that gunboat only needed five minutes to tear through the Black Mermaid's armor.

"When the gun goes off, you'll be ready to get on board!"

"Good!"

Shepard nodded, then agreed.

"Brothers' families, I promise to take care of them!"

Immediately Shepard came to the second deck on the port side of the freighter, where the lifeboat was, but the soldiers on the gunboat were obviously very experienced in capturing at sea, and before they could get closer, two small boats were lowered and outflanked towards the port side of the ship, while the gunboat was directly on the starboard side, and the black guns were all pointed at the freighter, and the soldiers were on standby, ready to fire if the situation was not right.

Shepard had to retreat to the top deck, and Primri smiled wryly.

"I don't have to run!"

"yes!"

Shepard nodded, the gunboat had already approached at this moment, very close to the freighter, and the two dinghys that had been put down before were still moving around the freighter, and the soldiers on the gunboat were ordering the sailors to release the rope ladder, and they were going to board the ship for inspection.

"Let's give it a go!"

After thinking about it, Shepard suddenly spoke.

"With our nationality, we will definitely not be able to fall behind, and now, if we don't fight, we won't have a chance!"

"Indeed!"

Plomri remembered Vietnam and how the warring sides treated their captives, and he knew it, and immediately nodded in agreement, Schipad.

As for the others, after Plomri's nod, these guys, who had more or less served in the service, immediately chose to obey.

Immediately Primri began to direct the deployment of the people.

The machine gunners all dispersed, ready to neutralize the gunboat, while the other riflemen lay in ambush at the rope ladder and left to attack when the soldiers came up, and the two anti-tank rocket launchers were ready to scrap the two 37mm rapid-fire guns on the gunboat, which posed the greatest threat to the freighters.

"You, you follow me, don't run around!"

At this moment, Plomri seemed to be the old non-commissioned officer shuttling in the rain of bullets again, his orders were firm and clear, his tone was quick and clear, everyone on the ship was quickly in place, even Shepard put on an old bulletproof jacket, and followed closely behind the former with his carbine.

Several Yara soldiers in green uniforms and American helmets climbed up the rope ladder with old M1 rifles, all of which were American aid received by the previous government, even the gunboat, but now they are being used against the Americans.

When several Yara soldiers climbed aboard the ship, they found that instead of a shivering crew on deck, there were more than a dozen guns with black holes.

One soldier immediately shouted to warn the friendly forces, and several people were immediately shot down.

The soldiers on the ship were about to open fire immediately after hearing the warning, but before the gunner could press the pedal, the shooter who was already waiting on the deck raised the M72 rocket launcher in his hand.

"Rear empty!"

After confirming that there were no people in the area behind him, the shooter immediately pressed the activation button above the launcher, and immediately, a ball of flame erupted from the front of the launch tube.
