The members of the Yanlong team diverged their thinking and expressed their opinions, and with only a pitiful amount of intelligence information, they carried out an extremely extensive deduction of the case.

Captain Zhang Xuebing summed up the discussion and immediately made targeted deployments.

In order to ensure that in the process of rescue, people who were injured could receive timely treatment, the medical team of the Yangzhou ship activated the first-level combat readiness ambulance.

A variety of medical kits are prepared in advance.

This includes, but is not limited to, simple splints, large and small bandages, absorbent cotton, tourniquets, etc.

He also deduced how the pirates would be encountered and the crew of the Antai Tai on the sand table to discuss the best response plan.

This is an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming process, but it is also a very necessary process.

Only when you are fully prepared in advance can you exert your maximum combat effectiveness in the operation.

The next day.

Morning.

The sky had not yet fully dawned, and the Yangzhou had reached the vicinity of the target.

With a total tonnage of more than 50,000 tons, the Antai Mountain, from the perspective of Yangzhou, looks like a giant beast lying on the sea.

There was not a single light, not a single sound, as silent as a ghost ship.

The Yangzhou approached the Antai Tai from the bow of the ship, and used infrared detection to conduct reconnaissance and search for the cargo ship and the surrounding waters under the cover of night.

Captain Zhang was also going to send a helicopter into the air to approach the cargo ship for close reconnaissance.

But it was stopped by Jackie Chan!

Assuming that there are still pirates on the ship, there is a high probability that there is no warship approaching now, and vigilance is the lowest time.

This is a great opportunity to sneak aboard.

Special operations pay attention to infiltration first, and what is needed is when the enemy is lax.

If a helicopter is sent to conduct an approach reconnaissance, it will do more harm than good if it alarms the pirates and arouses alarm.

And Jackie Chan not only meant the helicopter lift-off, but also made the warship turn off all the lights and approach the Antai Tai in a silent way with the whole ship.

Turn off all the engines on the ship for 20 nautical miles and slide all the way by inertia.

After the inertia of the Yangzhou was exhausted, the Yanlong team slid all the way through the kayak and quietly touched the boat for reconnaissance.

Personnel boarding a ship to conduct a search is more effective than any remote search method.

After the Yanlong team completes the landing on the target, the Yangzhou will use reconnaissance methods, and the effect will be completely different, which can play the role of striking the grass and startling the snake, and will not affect the landing and rescue of the Yanlong team.

As long as the rescue team has successfully boarded the ship, it is better to alert the pirates and know where they are than to blindly search.

Captain Zhang listened to Jackie Chan's advice.

After all, Jackie Chan is a "master" with a lot of background, and the absolute main force of this expedition, the military rank and position are the same level as the captain.

In addition, Jackie Chan is only in his twenties now, and Captain Zhang is in his thirties.

Jackie Chan is so young and promising, Captain Zhang has to obey.

With the delivery of Captain Zhang's new round of orders, the Yangzhou officially entered the combat state, and all units were ready to fight.

The warship stalled at a distance of 20 nautical miles and slid 17 nautical miles by inertia.

At this time, the warship had not completely stopped, but the speed was already very slow.

The six members of the Yanlong team, who had been prepared for a long time, took a rubber boat under the personal leadership of the captain Jackie Chan and approached by paddling.

Only Chengcai and Shi Dafan did not get on the rubber boat.

As the snipers and observers and medics of the team, the two of them are far less useful than providing visibility and critical fire support to the team in the rear.

There will be a helicopter in the air, and that is the "tool" that the two of them should ride.

Among the six people who set off in a rubber boat, the rest of the people were equipped very standardly, either Type 95 rifles or squad machine guns.

Only Jackie Chan is still so perverted.

Even if the internal structure of the cabin was too small, he didn't bring his exclusive eight or nine heavy machine guns, but he still brought the Type 87 automatic grenade as the main weapon.

Thirty-five mm grenades are used on ships, and in small spaces are still king bombs.

If the pirates run into Jackie Chan, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a whole corpse.

The distance of three nautical miles was nearly twenty minutes, which is not too fast but not too slow.

By the time the kayak approached the Antai Mountain, the sky had faded to blackness, and a hazy glow began to envelop the land.

Jackie Chan did not find any pirates outside the freighter through some visual inspections.

"Up!"

Jackie Chan slashed forward with a knife in his palm and decisively made a tactical gesture.

Zhuang Yan took out the hook gun he brought and fired a shot at the side of the ship that was about ten meters high, and the hook with the rope flew up with a whizz.

There was a crisp sound of "ding".

The hook flew to the top and hooked the railing, and in a reaction force it circled twice at once, hooking on a main railing that was five centimeters thick.

Zhuang Yan grabbed the rope and pulled it with his hand, making the rope tense while testing whether the rope was tight.

Confirming that the triangular hook above the rope had been hooked steadily, Zhuang Yan turned to look in the direction of Jackie Chan and got the tactical instruction of Jackie Chan's thumb.

Zhuang Yan immediately put the gun on his back, grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, and pressed his legs on the hull.

With the wall-climbing technique that has been proficient to the bones, I climbed up stably with my hands and feet, and there were no accidents in the whole process.

When he reached the top, he didn't go up immediately, but first showed his eyes and looked around the deck.

After confirming the situation on both sides of the deck and the structural terrain, and finding no enemy, Zhuang Yan grabbed the railing, turned over and climbed onto the deck.

When you go to the deck, you take out your gun as soon as you get on deck, aim in the direction to the right to be on guard, and cover for your teammates in the future.

At the same time extend the right hand, pointing down towards the thumb.

Although the left and right sides need to be guarded, but in the case of only one person, Zhuang Yan can only judge the dangerous side by judgment.

And the right deck leads to the bridge wheelhouse, which is clearly the most dangerous direction.

The other members of the Yanlong team who received the signal began to climb towards the ship one by one in the order of the boarding battle queue, and the second to go up was the assaulter Xu Sanduo.

The Assault Rider is always at the front of the line.

Here, the Yanlong team has successfully approached the Antai Mountain, and has begun to board the ship one after another, and there are no pirates to disturb the whole process.

Seeing that the situation was good, the Yangzhou also began to carry out synchronous operations as planned.

First of all, a helicopter was dispatched to reconnoiter the cargo ship from the air, and through infrared thermal imaging, the cargo ship was scanned from above.

As a result, no targets were found on the deck, and not a single shadow was seen.

There were no pirate ships in sight within a radius of a few nautical miles nearby, as if it had become an isolated island, standing alone.

The Yangzhou did not confirm the pirates' situation, and then fired a stun bomb into the sky over the cargo ship.

"Three airburst shells are ready and fired."

With the order given on the ship, three air-burst shells were fired from the serial artillery.

In the early hours of the morning, when everything was recovering, the sound of three empty explosions exploding in succession rumbled, even from a few nautical miles away.

Assuming there were pirates on board, there would have been a reaction.

After waiting for a few minutes without waiting for a response, Captain Zhang ordered the helicopter to shout in Somali, Arabic and English.

The pirates were warned to give up resistance and surrender on their own initiative, otherwise our warships would take a strong blow.

However.

The Antarshan was still as dead silent.

No crew ran out for help, no pirates ran out to resist, and no sound came out, no reaction at all.

Through this series of circumstances, Captain Zhang determined that the pirate had most likely left.

Order the rescue operation to begin!

The six members of the Yanlong team came over first, and at this time they were already in position on the bow deck, and immediately advanced to the stern after receiving the order.

The bridge and the entrance to the whole field are at the stern, which is the core of the whole ship and the possible presence of pirates.

The six members of the Yanlong team rushed all the way from the right side of the ship in a fully defensive formation.

Since it is uncertain whether there are still pirates on the ship at this time, it is necessary to search every corner of the ship to prevent enemies from popping up behind the butt.

The bridge of the Antai Tai has a total of seven floors, and each floor has a corresponding cabin.

This greatly increases the workload of the platoon!

In order to speed up the efficiency of the search, Jackie Chan divided the team into two three-person teams to investigate the bridge under the suppression of the helicopter's field of view.

The cooperation between the two groups of team members is very tacit, and the speed of the search is also very fast.

In the process of searching and investigating, the teammates saw some shocking pictures and had certain concerns about the safety of the crew.

There were a lot of bullet holes in the bridge and a lot of debris on the ladder going up.

Apparently the crew had tried to block the staircase with debris in order to stop the pirates, preventing them from going up.

At the same time, at the stairs of the second and third floors, a large number of scorch marks can be seen.

It doesn't look like it was burned by pirates, but more like fuel poured by the crew themselves, and by igniting the fuel on the stairs, the pirates were prevented from climbing up.

The results are equally clear!

The pirates with guns had the upper hand, and after firing their guns at the crew, leaving a large number of bullet holes, the crew quickly gave up resistance.

And the fuel poured on the iron staircase flowed everywhere, there was no way to gather into a pile, and it burned quickly.

Again, it didn't last long and it lost its effect.

But.

Taking the initiative to pour oil up the stairs to block the way has played a very good role, at least for the crew to withdraw to the bottom cabin, buying a lot of time.

Because the first group led by Jackie Chan and the second group led by Wu Zhe did not find any bloodstains on the bridge.

If there is no blood, it means that there are no bullets and no crew members are injured.

Jackie Chan reported the situation to the Yangzhou and learned that the crew was most likely not injured, and the captain and political commissar were very excited.

Realize that the probability of a perfect rescue is extremely high!

Jackie Chan took the lead with a group to the top floor and entered the wheelhouse that controlled the entire ship.

It was even more chaotic inside than outside, there were signs of gunfire everywhere, and the glass on the door and the glass in front of it had all been shattered.

All kinds of instruments and equipment in the wheelhouse, as well as the control lever of the ship, were also smashed.

These were the acts of violence by the pirates in anger and anger, or the sabotage carried out by the captain to protect himself before leaving.

Jackie Chan has no way to determine at this time.

It's just that Jackie Chan is already sure that the pirates are still on this ship and have not left.

As for why the sound of helicopters was heard, as well as air-burst bombs and shouting, there was no movement during the whole process, it is also unknown at present.

Pirates can still harm hostages at any time, and may even be doing so.

Whether the armed rescue will succeed is still unknown.

If the crew is already controlled by pirates, there must be a way to rescue the crew, but if you want to rescue it perfectly, it will be very difficult.

Deaths and injuries may be inevitable!

And the structure of this ship is very complex, the bottom bilge plus the cabin plus the bridge plus the cargo hold, the total area is more than 10,000 square meters, no less than the search for an entire building.

How many pirates there are and where they are hiding, it is not known.

As long as the pirates are in control of the hostages, they will have the freedom to hide in any corner at any time and carry out cold attacks on rescuers.

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.

Although all the members of the Yanlong team have been tempered, after all, not all of them are hanging with perspective, and there is nothing they can do to be killed by cold guns.

Now I don't know where the pirates are, nor where the crew is hiding.

The Yanlong team is under a lot of pressure!

However, no matter how much pressure the Yanlong team is, their mission is to rescue the crew, which is a mission given by the state, no matter how dangerous it is.

Since you can't see where it is, keep searching, even if it's the whole ship.

With no pirates or crew to be found on the bridge, the Dragons converged at the entrance to the cabin and formed a team to search the cabin.

As soon as he entered, Jackie Chan smelled a burning smell and a smell of burning sulfide.

"There's a fire in the cabin?"

This thought popped up in Jackie Chan's mind, and his expression couldn't help but become serious.

If a fire starts in a narrow passage, the smoke gathers together and cannot spread, which will hinder people's breathing, and it is very harmful.

Zhuang Yan and the others also realized the same problem, and their faces became extremely solemn.

And as the Yanlong team continued to go deeper, the smoke in the cabin became thicker and thicker, from the curling smoke at the beginning to the back to the choking nose.

Continuing deeper in this case, the smoke will definitely get thicker and thicker.

Jackie Chan had to give the order for the whole team to wear gas masks.

At the same time, with the thermal imaging sight, the search will continue to be in-depth in the thick smoke, and the vigilance will be increased again by reducing the search speed.

It can't be helped!

The environment is too harsh, and the room for the enemy to sneak up is too big.

In order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, Jackie Chan had to think about the safety of his brothers and bring them back when the time came.

As for the longer search time, there is no way to do it.

The premise of rescue is to ensure your own safety, and then do your best to rescue others, and never play the bloody plot of exchanging lives for lives.

This is Jackie Chan's bottom line!

Every special soldier is extremely precious, and a lot of financial, material and financial resources have been spent to train it, how can it be easily sacrificed.
