Huge black shadows silently skimmed the sky, then through the clouds and appeared on the surface of the sea.

"That's?"

"Seaplanes?"

From the very beginning, Shepard's main escort team was never Rambo's combat team, and they were only sent as the last line of defense to fill in the gaps.

What really wants to show everyone is these two seaplanes belonging to the Shadow Company!

Designed from the ground up, the Catalina seaplane was designed with the needs of escort missions in mind, both in terms of range and staying power, making a seaplane the most reliable companion for ocean-going fleets that need to traverse dangerous seas.

And now, the Black Cat has become the patron saint of the fleet!

After receiving the radio announcement from the fleet, the Black Cat immediately set off from the port of Mogadishu, which is also Shepard's most optimistic point for seaplanes, that is, the dependence on the airport is greatly reduced, after all, for the Shadow Company, there will be an airport everywhere, which is why Shepard endured not to engage in a few C130 transport aircraft, although the latter has more capacity, but needs to take off and land at the airport, and the seaplane is not used at all, as long as there is a sufficiently open water, it can take off and land.

After flying over the fleet, the captain of the Black Cat first carried out a low-altitude clearance according to the custom, although this is of little practical significance, but it can well meet the needs of the entire crew, after all, they are flying in the sky and can shit on other people's heads.

After completing the field, the Black Cat began to descend in altitude, and the fuselage cast a huge shadow on the surface of the sea, as if there were monsters sneaking through the water.

"A little direction, that pelagic fishing boat!"

"See!"

After lowering the altitude, the Black Cat did not rush to the top of the pirate's head and bomb indiscriminately, but slowly circled over the fleet, and the crew member in charge of navigation was now holding a high-focal length telescope in his hand to watch the movement of the fishing boat below.

After all, no matter how you say it, the Shadow Company also wants to be faced, with such a long coastline in Somalia, not necessarily all pirates who go to sea, if it is the kind of honest and honest fishermen who rashly launch an attack, the Shadow Company will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, the necessary reconnaissance must still be done sufficiently!

The navigator watched carefully for a long time, and he saw more than a dozen shirtless black uncles running around on the deck, but the latter was not armed, and he did not dare to determine what the other party was doing, maybe the fishermen were collecting the nets.

But soon, he noticed something unusual, those seemingly extremely busy Uncle Black opened the ship's warehouse, took out a large number of weapons, and someone was still pointing in the direction of the plane and saying something.

"It's confirmed, it's a pirate!"

"What should I do, launch an attack?"

"No, the pioneers are gone!"

The captain glanced at the situation on the sea, the distance between the pirate's mother ship and the fleet had been reduced to about five nautical miles, and it had not yet entered the absolute defense circle, so considering the international view, he could not happily drop a 100kg bomb on the opponent and directly deal with the opponent cleanly.

"Black Cat Four?"

The captain steered the Black Cat to continue its descent as he began to call out to the machine-gun shooters on standby in the rear engine room.

"Black Cat No. 4 received, what's the matter?"

"When we get close to the 500-meter position, give them a short shot at the bow of the ship 100 meters, warning!"

"Understood!"

The shooter nodded, then pulled the bolt to load the machine gun.

The Black Cat, on the other hand, continued to descend in altitude, and even reached the surface of the sea, and the waves stirred up by the sea even knocked down the belly of the plane before stopping.

At this moment, the pirate's mothership was approaching the fleet from one point in the direction of the seaplane, and the captain controlled the plane to approach from the eleven o'clock direction of the pirate mothership, and the path of the two sides was like a pair of scissors that opened and closed to the maximum.

In doing so, the Black Cat can pass in front of the mother ship by intercepting rather than chasing.

And Black Cat Four is also at the moment

After the opponent entered his own firing range, the shooter immediately controlled the machine gun and began to fire rhythmically in short bursts.

The roaring machine gun threw out brass shells that were still heating up, and the tracer bullets mixed in the chain could be faintly visible even in the daytime, and the few short spots landed in front of the mother ship, splashing large waves with large splashes.

"Shoot it!"

"Very well, if those guys know each other......

Before the captain finished speaking, the co-pilot on the side shouted.

"The other party is speeding up, and the dinghy is being released!"

"Fake!"

The captain who was slapped in the face looked and saw that the pirates on the ship were not frightened by their warning shots, and they also released two boats full of personnel to the dinghy to continue the pursuit of the fleet, and on the deck of the mother ship, there were more than a dozen pirates with weapons in hand, who were constantly pointing at the Black Cat at the moment, presumably before the battle!

"These bastards!"

"Four, Five, carry out warning shooting, target the boat released by the opponent, shoot once at fifty meters!"

The Black Cat adjusted its course in the air with a rather graceful gesture and then inserted itself into the middle of the two pirate dingries, as the Black Cat had machine guns on either side in the middle of the way, allowing it to intercept two dingries at once.

After catching up from the rear, the Black Cat remained more than 100 meters above the sea and more than 400 meters from the boat, and then the two machine gunners began to fire rhythmic warning shots.

This time, the bullet landed more accurately, because the boat was traveling at high speed, so the bullet of the 50-meter warning shot actually landed on the surface of the sea very close to the two boats.

The pirates on the dinghy were caught off guard by the waves raised by the bullets, and seeing that the landing point was so close, the pirates on the dinghy immediately deflated, and then began to slow down and disengage.

The pirate on the other dinghy seemed to have a temper tantrum, and not only did he not slow down, but he even raised his rifle and pulled the trigger on the Black Cat.

"Attacked, attacked!"

Although it was far away, the stray bullet fired by the opponent inevitably hit the skin of the plane.

After seeing the plane being attacked, Black Cat No. 4 immediately grabbed the machine gun excitedly, and asked the captain for instructions to return fire while aiming at the other party.

"You can fire, but you can't strafe, point fire is the main thing!"

The captain didn't think too much about it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, the heavy machine gun roared again, only this time, instead of heading towards the sea, the bullets began to attack the pirate boat.
