Chapter 281: Fierce Battle on the Island (1)

Since they had come to the Caribbean Gulf to become pirates, it was naturally impossible for the Church to send all of their own men. The number of manpower is not enough, and it is impossible to consume it in such a place. At the same time, if the Church's feet are exposed, the church will be discredited and even disqualified from preaching among the general public. Therefore, the entire church pirate group, except for the top three people who knew who was standing behind them, no one else knew, and then Coulson and they came, and only six people knew.

These six people did not waste the cultivation of the church, and all of them were well hidden. They were also very strict with their subordinates to restrain themselves, but the effect was not very great. Pirates are a group of lawless people, and naturally they are not bound by others. Coulson's power suppression can still form a deterrent to these pirates at first, and this deterrent will become weaker and weaker as time passes. Especially when they didn't go to the tavern to splurge for a long time after looting, taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase supplies, a dozen pirates stayed for an extra night.

The pirates were also afraid of being looked down upon, so they drank too much in the tavern, and in order to show their bravery, they naturally began to brag. Although they were said to have plundered the Spanish ships, they immediately attracted the attention of the company's spies. The spies followed them all the way and finally identified their ship. The submarine received the news and rushed here overnight, just outside to find the ship leaving the post, and then began to fall behind him. In order not to arouse suspicion, this time the battleships behind were 30 hours behind, at the maximum range of communications.

Submarines, a weapon that appeared in the world for the first time, are so easy to use, especially when you know it and the others don't know it. No matter how cautious the pirates are, no matter how they track, they see the supremacy of the sea, and no one has ever gone back to the bottom of the sea. The submarine followed them eight hundred meters away, and these people did not find it. Coulson and the others also stay on a small nameless island, which is small but densely vegetated, and has always been the first choice for pirate lair. Those who are arrogant build their nests outside, and those who are cautious can also make use of the caves and caves on the island.

Coulson and the others naturally belonged to the cautious faction, and did not move the surface of the island, but used the cave here. Thanks to their good luck, they found such an island with a cave that naturally connects to the ocean. As soon as the ship drills into the hole, it will directly enter the secret port inside. The pirates could go directly from the harbor and follow the excavated cave passages to reach the larger caverns. For more than 100 years, every time the pirate group caught someone was thrown into it to dig a hole, it had a scale that could accommodate more than 2,000 people.

This kind of terrain is a great headache for Izuk. Since it was impossible to determine how deep the cave was, and it was impossible to discern the location of the main cave, the naval guns seemed to be ineffective. With only three hundred and ten marines, Igcik was a little unsure. Luckily, the hole also limits the enemy's numerical advantage. The cave is so big, and there are so many people who can pass through it at a time. Ijik asked everyone to put them in place, and gathered all the smoke grenades, flashbangs, etc., and gave them all to the marines to use.

Then, the fleet released aerial photography drones that they were not yet fully familiar with and began to search the island. It was only with great difficulty that some of the caves that seemed to be exits were found, and twenty clippers and a destroyer all aimed their guns at them. The marines were all transferred to missile boats and submarine hunters, and at night, these boats quietly dripped into the exposed cave mouth. The submarine hunter is sonar-detected, and even if there is no light, it will not crash into the stone wall.

The harbor was still unloading, and there were flashing lights, and as soon as they saw the lights, the nine small ironclad ships began to accelerate. The pirates heard a strange noise, and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw nine iron-hulled ships emerge from the darkness. At the same time, the rapid-fire guns on nine ships were firing wildly. All the pirate groups that were exposed were rewarded with a cannonball. The entire small port was blown up in one fell swoop. Luckily, he was able to make it into the nearest passage, but unfortunately he was torn to shreds by artillery fire.

The place slowly narrowed, and the nine ships could no longer move together, and the five ships stopped, turned on the searchlights, and searched for any remaining enemies. At the same time, each of the discovered passage openings was aimed at a rapid-fire gun, ready to fire at any moment. Four submarine hunters with 310 marines sailed forward, docked in turn, sent the fighters ashore, and then returned to the back to start guarding. Under the deterrence of nine ships, no pirates came out of the passage to attack.

The fighters easily gained a foothold on the shore without any loss of combat effectiveness. There were only two passages here, and Dawn didn't talk nonsense, and first led his group into one of the passages that the pirates ran into the most. The assault group of the Marine Corps led the team into another road, and the other fighters also divided into two teams and followed into two passages. One hundred and fifty-five people on one side, just evenly distributed. Ordinary pirates have no will to resist, and they have long been frightened by the fire of rapid-fire guns and run to the innermost.

Coulson and his men are coercing and enticing the company's ten captured instructors into training a new army for the pirate regiment using the weapons captured by the pirate regiment. It's not appropriate to say that the new army is also inappropriate, Coulson is just to strengthen himself. However, his patience is also about to be worn out, if the ten instructors don't let go, he will not just reduce their food and drink, he is no stranger to torturing people, and the church has accumulated a lot in this area, the most famous is the legendary "Iron Maiden".

Coulson was taunted by several instructors, and was about to get angry, when suddenly he heard a burst of explosions. He was also very familiar with the sound of the company's artillery shells exploding, and immediately thought that someone from the company was calling. On second thought, it must have been the mud below that couldn't hold up the wall exposed. But he knew that now was not the time to blame anyone, so he turned and walked out of the room, ready to direct the pirates to defend themselves. He is full of confidence in this, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it is useless for them to hit the ground.

As a result, when he went out, he almost had a crooked nose. The pirates who rushed in front of them were frightened by the artillery, and those who didn't know what was going on in the back thought it was an earthquake, and they were so frightened that they wanted to shoot outside. Several surface exits were locked by clippers, and some of the pirates who ran out as fast as they could hear a whistling sound, followed by fire and vibration, and then fell into permanent darkness.

"What are you running around, the enemy invades and doesn't organize defenses, do you want to be slaughtered by others like pigs?"

"Kamaji, take someone to fetch weapons, and then guard every passage for me. Lin Tai, organize people to take out the artillery and muskets captured last time, and prepare for battle according to what I taught before. George, you take a few people, and I will arrest all the escapees for me, and if you dare to resist, you will be killed directly. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now trapped inside, and if we want to survive, we can only fight back the enemy, and this is not the time to be afraid, let us all work together to repel the enemy. “

The pirates lacked a strong leader, and as long as the leader didn't panic, they settled down. Coulson stepped forward and commanded, and all the pirates slowly moved into their posts. Coulson knew that the company had such a thing as grenades, and in order not to be caught in the net, he sent some brave men (outlaws) into the passage, ready to use the terrain to ambush the enemy, how could he cause them some trouble. Ten heavy-fisted guns were pulled over, and the muzzles were aimed at each passage.

Gunpowder and shells were already loaded and ready to ignite. Of course, there is also a delay, they can only do it as soon as possible. One by one, Hall M1819 was distributed, and the pirates had already been preliminarily trained by Coulson, and there would be no problems with basic operations. At this time, it is better to use a Hall M1819 rifle than those tattered muskets and swords.

At dawn, they also marched step by step, and half of the people in front of them were wearing night vision devices, and everything in the passage could be seen clearly. Some pirates also tried to sneak up on the corner and died on a Type 81 rifle equipped with a silencer device for no apparent reason. When encountering corners, the elite fighters in the front row will always use instruments to detect sounds, and as long as there is a sound of breathing, it is a grenade rolling through the ground. When the grenade blows the enemy over, they slide sideways and kill the surviving enemy in consternation.

The soldiers of the two sides marched step by step, and the pirate cannon fodder ambushed in the passage did not cause them any casualties. It bought Coulson time to set up, and the entire hall had become a blocking position. The passage slowly forked in the road, and the warriors began to merry, and the hall gradually heard the sound of guns in all ten passages. Coulson was a little nervous, his palms dripping with sweat as he held a brand-new Hall M1819 rifle, and who knows how the company found them.

And just for the sake of ten people who are not even mid-level officials, they actually sent elite troops. The sound of firing from the Type 81 rifle, which he had only heard when the company's elite units were fighting. Listening to the voice, how can there be a scale of more than 100 people. He also has no confidence in whether he can resist the enemy. The only thing he could rely on now were the two weapons he had seized from the company. None of the attacking warriors were incompetent, and when they reached the last corner, they felt that the terrain behind them was extremely empty, and they guessed that it was a hall.

I don't know if it's the last gathering place of the pirates, but there must have been an ambush inside. Ten special snatches came out of the corner, and grenades were sprayed out.
