Chapter 280: The Giant Shark Falls
After all, the Giant Shark Pirate Group is an old pirate group, and its own quality is actually quite good. On the way back, they not only spared the original route, but even often made a sudden stop, in order to see if there was any enemy tracking behind. However, it is a pity that Igik has transferred the only company submarine that has completed the training, although it is a 100-ton backward submarine, but it is not something that can only be discovered by a few pirates who rely on the naked eye in this era.
After following them for a week, they finally found the island where the giant shark was hiding. Pirate is an absolutely high-risk profession, especially the giant shark, a once glorious pirate who has declined later. Truly powerful pirates can act with impunity, but still dare not let people know where their lair is. Unless it's the kind of pirate force that has a magic ship in it and crushes the regular Imperial Navy. Otherwise, as long as their lair is known by the authorities, they will not be able to escape the fate of extinction.
Because pirates rely on their ships to be fast and flexible. You may have seen a few pirate ships take on a large merchant fleet, but you have never seen a pirate ship challenge a much larger fleet of regular armies. The warships of the regular fleet are all based on the strength of the ships and the strength of the guns. It is difficult for the pirate ship's weapons to break through the defense, but it will be very uncomfortable to be shot, and even if you are unlucky, you will sink directly if you are hit by a heavy artillery. To use an animal metaphor, pirates are wolves, and regular armies are tigers.
Unable to fight alone, the wolves can only rely on their flexibility and misconsume the tiger's energy together to finally defeat the tiger. Ijik's ships all had the best wireless communication equipment that Sholin had procured, and when they were not too far away, the submarine was very well connected with the other ten ironclad ships. The fleet has been following the submarine for only a day's journey. After receiving Igic's order, he immediately accelerated and began to enter the vicinity of the small island named "Giant Shark Island" by the Giant Shark Pirate Regiment.
Because it was late at night, no one would be able to spot them as long as the lights were not turned on. Sailing without light is a bit difficult for them, but it's not a life-threatening problem. Besides, it is not completely devoid of light, the light of the moon allows these naval soldiers, who are never short of nutrients and specialize in eating all kinds of eye-tonifying foods, to clearly see people and things five meters away. And the key positions have night vision devices, coupled with the signal guidance of the submarine, they entered the area around the giant shark island unharmed.
Lurking until ten o'clock in the evening, the island of Giant Shark is still brightly lit and noisy, but the time has come. Because Ijik had known for a long time, the dirty ship bought a large amount of wine and food and returned to the island. Ijik has been mixed up from the bottom, pirates have done it, and the navy has also done it, so he naturally knows the virtues of pirates. A group of people who have drunk this morning and are drunk this morning will definitely drink that night. There is no means of amusement these days, and there must have been a banquet that started early. From six o'clock in the evening, the island comes alive.
At ten o'clock in the evening, not to mention the ordinary pirates, even the pirates who were on guard were also drunk. Even if the liquor is not as high as distilled spirit, four hours is not something these people can sustain. The clippers began to sort, and without using the steam crew, they approached the island directly by sail, and one hundred and ten marine sergeants were sent to the island. The Marines, led by the Dawnlight Squad, began to reach for the center of the island.
Whether it's Dawnlight or the Marine Corps, ambush killing is one of the important training subjects. What's more, basically everyone has a sniper crossbow, and many pirates standing guard were killed by a black crossbow from a hundred and fifty meters away when they were half drunk and half awake. Even a patrol of a dozen people was shot into a sieve by a hundred and ten people. The bolts are full of poison and do not give the enemy any time to call for warning.
One hundred and ten people, like killing gods, killed all the way from the outside to the inside. The entire Giant Shark Island was like half of an onion, peeled off layer after layer by them, but nothing was found inside. When I touched the outside of the hall where the pirates were gathering, no one found it. The pirates inside are already in a hurry, there are pirates talking nonsense everywhere, and there are even people who openly play the Living Spring Palace here, and the women are all hard-working people who were robbed by them. The hottest eye, the Dawn team also found several men hugging each other.
As he prepares to storm in, Dawn spotted a fiercely dressed pirate staggering outside, and he vaguely heard some pirates who weren't completely drunk calling him the second in charge. Dawn stopped the warriors in time and asked people to go up to ambush, and as soon as the second master came out, he was subdued by several warriors and brought to Dawn. Dawn interrogates the second boss in a remote hut, and learns that it is a group of minions and ordinary pirate leaders.
The big boss had returned to his house on the top of the hill more than an hour earlier and went to play with his wife. The matters of cooperation with Coulson are all personally contacted by the big boss, and the second boss only knows some. The others, not even the ones who moved themselves, didn't even know. In that case, they are of no value. Dawn immediately led his team around the hall and rushed to the top of the mountain, by this time, the big boss had already fallen asleep, and together with his wife of the squeeze, he was captured by the Dawn team directly in bed.
Because of the struggle, the big boss was also beaten with five rifle butts, and his head was broken and his nose was crooked. If he hadn't been gagged and extremely frightened, he would have been yelling and screaming. Dawn they were still interested in seeing his Lady of the Boss, who took it over as an ordinary white woman. If it was ten years ago, they might have thought it was a beauty, but now they feel redundant at a glance. Bring it back just in case and see if she knows anything secret too.
The big boss rolled his eyes, did not continue to do useless work, began to accumulate strength, and prepared to make some movement when passing through the pirate hall next to the road down the mountain, at that time, all the pirates rushed out and could definitely save him. Who would have thought that Dawn didn't give him this chance at all. Now that the valuable targets are in their hands, they don't need the rest of the pirates. There has never been slavery in the kingdom, and there is no value in these people to co-opt them, and it is the easiest way to kill them directly, and it can also deter pirates throughout the Caribbean Gulf.
"Call start, call start, this is dawn!"
"The starting number has been received, please speak at dawn!"
"The target has been captured, and the remaining pirates are no longer worthless, and the shelling of the ship is requested. ”
.......
"The starting number has been received, and I ask for permission, please inform me of the coordinates. ”
"Yes, coordinates (XXX, XXX), all targets are there, it is recommended that the naval guns fire three rapid fires!"
"Call dawn, the guns are ready, please pay attention to dodge, the shooting is about to begin! Count down to tens of seconds, ten, nine, eight, seven...... Three, two, one, launch!"
Dawn had already taken the group behind a boulder, and the members of the Marine Corps had already left the vicinity of the pirate hall and ran a full 800 meters. The navy still does not have naval guns with a caliber of more than 100mm, but where is the number compared, twenty ships are enough to make up the firepower of half a mountain artillery battery. Under the rapid fire of three shots, the entire pirate hall was reduced to ruins, and there were hundreds of pirates, not a single one survived. The big boss was stunned directly, and there was not a word along the way.
In order to rescue his compatriots as soon as possible, Igcik personally began to interrogate the big boss and the second boss. As a former slave leader, he is a veteran at torturing people, plus the tricks he learned from a divine book "XX Ten Tortures". The two pirates, who weren't tough guys in the first place, explained everything clearly in less than an hour. From Coulson's appearance, how Coulson found him, Coulson's plan, and how Coulson persuaded them to tell it.
Igic turned around and hanged the two of them on the island of Megashark, and all who could find the bodies were also hanged, and a stone was erected on the island, on which was inscribed with the words "Provoke the fate of the new American Empire". A month later, the order of the Giant Shark Pirate Group was completed, but no one came to the door for acceptance, and the merchant who did not get the remaining money found the Giant Shark Island and found this pirate island that had become a ghost domain. The two were frightened on the spot, and the news spread at breakneck speed.
Before it could stop, another ghostly island was discovered. This time it was even more powerful, more than 2,000 people were hung up, with all kinds of fatal wounds on their bodies, and a huge stone monument with the same words engraved on it also stood on the island. Since then, most of the pirates have found the company's flag, and told the people below that whoever dares to move a ship with such a flag will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, so as not to provoke an enemy in the regiment that must not be provoked.
All of this has to start after Ijik led the team out of Shark Island. Knowing Coulson's strength from the big boss, Igic felt a little unsafe, returned to the company, and once again gathered ten clippers and two companies of marines. In order to ensure firepower, they brought all their belongings this time, including mortars that they did not carry before. Spies and agents from the Department of National Security were fully dispatched to assist him in following the clues to track down Coulson.
Coulson and a few other core personnel were better than these spies, but there were only a few people, and none of the rest of the pirates could escape from their hands. Before, there were no clues, but now that there are clear clues, it is natural to track them quickly. As soon as Ijik set off, Coulson's hiding place had already been clarified.
