Chapter 3: Fleeing in a Fierce Fight

The safe distance of the M72 rocket launcher is ten meters, and at this distance, the rocket does not explode to produce a jet, but thanks to the length and height of the Black Mermaid, the distance from the shooter to the gun position has exceeded ten meters, so the warhead fuse is successfully activated, and the jet easily pierces the gun's shield and the shooter in the rear, and even leaves a scar on the gun's body.

The two guns that posed the greatest threat to the black mermaids lost control, and the 37 guns, located on the right side of the rear of the gunboat, could not turn around at all because of the firing range, so they could not pose any threat to the freighter.

Then the crowd began to condescendingly suppress the Yara soldiers on the gunboat, and the roaring automatic fire knocked the Yara soldiers exposed on the gunboat to the ground one by one.

The two machine guns were leaning their bullets condescendingly, and the hull of the gunboat was clanged, and soon the soldiers outside the gunboat were swept away, and the semi-automatic rifles and carbines of the Yarra were no match for Shepard's automatic firepower at all.

The Yara soldiers on the two dinghys heard the gunfire and immediately opened fire again and again and tried to return to the gunboat, but when they turned back from the side of the ship, they were again subjected to condescending strafing from the machine guns, and the wooden hull could not stop the machine gun bullets at all, and the soldiers on the boat were killed and wounded, and some even dropped their weapons and tried to jump into the sea to escape.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting!"

Seeing that there was no more resistance, Primri immediately shouted, and the gunfire immediately stopped.

Shepard stepped over the golden bullet casings and walked to the bow of the ship, the first mass killing he had witnessed in his two lifetimes, but he felt no discomfort at the moment, only the thrill of adrenaline.

"Shall we retreat?"

"Retreat!"

Plommri nodded, maybe there were still remnants of soldiers in the gunboat, but they didn't have the energy or the effort to clean up, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

At this time, the radio station, which had been silent for a long time, finally responded.

It was the mysterious employer, Morgan, who kept calling the Black Mermaid on the channel and asking how it was.

"Mr. Morgan, I'm Shepard!"

Throwing aside the loaded weapon, Shepard picked up the radio with his trembling hand and took a few deep breaths before speaking.

"John? How's it going? ”

"We have severely damaged the gunboats of the Yarra, killed several people, and are now evacuating quickly!"

"How's you doing?"

"Four brothers were injured, not fatal, at the moment they have been simply bandaged and the boat is slightly damaged!"

"That's good, that's good, listen, the navy has already sent a ship over, they will escort you to withdraw, if you need anything, you just ask, this time it's my problem, I'll be responsible!"

Shepard didn't have much of an impression of Morgan, he had only met each other twice before, the first time at the vice presidential promotion dinner, when the other party was a guest of honor at the White House, and the second time, when he was in Miami, after the other party had a detailed conversation with Smith's bad old man, he had this mission.

"That guy is pretty realistic!"

After putting down the radio, Shepard felt a chill on his back, he reached out to touch it, only to find that the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, and the sea breeze blew, and immediately a chill came.

Shepard, who was holding the radio, was about to say something, but he heard a loud bang, and he hurried back to the deck, and saw that the gunboat was still billowing black smoke, and the rocket jet not only pierced the gun, but also ignited the ammunition, and the flames from the ammunition deflagration were engulfing the gunboat little by little.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see!"

Plomri, who had come up with Shepard, said in surprise.

"In Vietnam, those gunboats were ambushed on inland rivers, and they looked much worse than this!"

"I know!"

Shepard nodded, then turned back to the bridge, he had a hunch that Yara, a little-known Caribbean island nation, would come back!

The Mermaid then continued to move at full speed and quickly detached from the battlefield, and less than twenty minutes later, the lookout reported the presence of ships on the horizon.

Subsequently, a call came from the radio channel of the black merfolk.

An Adams-class destroyer carrying out a vigilance blockade mission in the sea area soon arrived.

"That Mr. Morgan looks like he's so powerful!"

"Yes! I don't know if it's good or bad to take this guy's order! ”

Promri was standing on the deck with a cigar in his mouth, and behind him several employees were pouring weapons that did not meet the conditions for self-defense into the sea, after all, the Black Mermaid was a victim at this moment, and you had seen the victim warehouse with machine guns and bazookas?

The destroyer quickly approached the Black Mermaid, and after the two ships converged, the destroyer released the dinghy to transfer the wounded of the Black Mermaid, not that Shepard didn't want to use a helicopter, anyway, someone paid for the cost of this trip, but when the Adams-class destroyer was designed, there was no hangar.

After following the dinghy to the ferry, Shepard had already thought of a rhetoric to deal with the Navy's inquiries, but the deputy captain who came to check on the situation looked like I understood that Shepard's prepared rhetoric did not come in handy at all.

"That, we're ......"

"I understand, humanitarian aid, you CIA say so!"

"No, we're not CIA ........."

"I know, that's what the CIA people say, so you don't have to explain!"

The helmet-wearing life jacket of the co-captain seemed to be used to wiping the butts of the spies who were doing trouble all day long, and the Black Mermaid was not clean in his own work, so it was natural for the co-captain to recognize Shepard as an agent.

"That ........."

"Then you just stay in the cabin and rest, don't worry about safety, in this sea area, even if the Russian submarine comes, it will not be good!"

Rejecting the offer of being accompanied by the vice-captain, Shepard first went to the infirmary to visit the injured employee.

Several people's gunshot wounds were not fatal, and there was no problem after treatment, and Shepard was not ambiguous, and directly gave each person a three-month paid leave, in addition to the bonus will not be less, several injured employees were immediately happy, but everyone hoped that next time it would be best to avoid this kind of firefight.

"It's okay, it won't happen again next time!"

Shepard swore that this exchange of fire would definitely make Yara's side more vigilant, and maybe there would be a large-scale search for those former government guerrillas, and the coast would definitely be closely monitored, and the next time the Black Mermaid passed, it would definitely be a head, but as long as Mr. Morgan understood the priorities, he would definitely not do anything stupid!
