When this news came, all the officers and soldiers of the No. 53 ship were shocked from Li Hai down.
The Yueyuanyu No. 325 fishing vessel is a 1,200-ton ocean-going fishing vessel. It is itself a deputy battalion-level basic militia ship. Captain Zhang Debiao's ability to deal with emergencies has been proven. How could it be suddenly hijacked by an armed force?
Li Hai immediately ordered the No. 53 ship to turn around and rush to the sea area where the incident occurred at full speed. Compared with the safety of people's lives and property, the safety of the Sirius electronic reconnaissance ship must be placed second. Moreover, the P-8A was missing.
You must dare to attack the Sirius electronic reconnaissance ship.
All the talk about saving fuel and not saving fuel was forgotten. Ship No. 53 once again started the super-high-speed racing state and rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred at a speed of 39 knots.
Li Hai immediately sent a ship-borne helicopter to pick up Zhan Xiong, the captain of Gun Regiment No. 101, to understand the situation face to face. The subsequent rescue also required the cooperation of the fishing fleet, so Zhan Xiong had to be on the command ship.
After the ship-borne helicopter delivered Zhan Xiong, it took off again. This time it brought three sailors carrying sniper rifles and reconnaissance instruments to conduct reconnaissance on the Yueyuanyu 325. These three soldiers were the top ones selected by Li Hai.
, has been undergoing special operations training, and is of better quality than the Marines.
Zhan Xiong immediately reported the situation, "Three hours ago, three speedboats took advantage of the alternating light of day and night to quickly approach the operating Yue Yuan Yu 325 ship. They had just driven away the Indonesian maritime ship, and everyone thought that there would be no short-sighted people.
He dared to provoke the fleet, relaxed his vigilance, and the lighting was poor... Zhang Debiao didn't react until fifteen armed men boarded the ship. By that time, it was already too late..."
After he reported it, Li Hai understood. He immediately made a judgment and said, "They are professional military personnel, former military personnel or personnel who have received professional military training."
"It's a bit reluctant to draw such a conclusion just by using the alternating light of day and night to approach concealedly," Zhan Xiong said in a deep voice.
Ten years ago, he served in the Navy for 16 years. After retiring, he joined the Gun Regiment Fishing Company and worked his way from chief engineer to captain of a large ocean-going ship. He has rich experience in dealing with pirate hijackings.
Otherwise, he would not be allowed to serve as the captain of the 101st Gun Regiment. You must know that his predecessor's predecessor was Li Hai's father, who was a serious ace officer of the Army Special Forces.
Li Hai also knew that it was difficult to determine the identity of the hijackers based on this alone, so he nodded slowly and asked, "What requests did they make?"
Pirates hijack ships for no other reason than to make money.
Zhan Xiong frowned and said, "The strange thing is here. Before Zhang Debiao was controlled, he sent us a message, confirming that the number of armed personnel boarding the ship was fifteen. Since then, the Yueyuan Yu 325 ship has not
He took the initiative to contact us and did not respond to our contact.”
Pirates who don’t want ransom?
This is very abnormal.
Li Hai looked up at the Yue Yuan Yu 325 ship. At this time, the ship's mast light was very conspicuous. It was at a position of fifteen degrees from the No. 53 ship, about a kilometer away, the heading was 270 degrees, and the speed was twelve
Festival. The Old Dolphin ship-borne helicopter was hovering over the ship for reconnaissance. There were no lights in the cockpit of the ship, indicating that it was in a blind navigation state or an automatic navigation state.
Nowadays, fishing boats generally have automatic navigation capabilities. Once the navigation parameters are set, the system will do the rest. Only the necessary personnel on duty need to be left to watch.
"Where are they going? Pull up the electronic map, mark the route of Yueyuanyu 325, and report to the theater joint commander." Li Hai issued a series of orders, and the bridge center became busy in an orderly manner.
"Yes!" Chang Haizhou replied, immediately arranging the implementation, and he compiled the situation and reported it to the theater joint commander.
Li Hai thought about countermeasures rapidly, and heard other people's conversations in his ears. He was immediately stunned, "How come there are so many people on the Yue Yuan Yu 325 ship?"
Thousand-ton fishing boats usually have a crew of 20-30 people, but the Yueyuanyu 325 actually has 37 people on board, more than one-third.
Modern fishing boats are very advanced, and offshore fishing boats generally have offshore processing capabilities. They can insure some aquatic products that are difficult to preserve in live water, or simply process them into seafood that can be directly put on the shelves. The overall level of advancement is very high, and the number of personnel is increasing.
The less.
Zhan Xiong said, "This time, the ship is mainly responsible for the escort mission, so ten more people are assigned."
Li Hai nodded and said nothing more.
37 people are in danger, this is a big deal.
There are 15 pirates, and it is certain that most of them are very professional military personnel.
Very troublesome!
Soon, the electronic map was brought up, which was a real-time satellite map of the Beidou system. The light spot representing Yueyuanyu 325 was enlarged and marked in dark red. The staff drew a route on the electronic map based on the ship's course.
, next to the red dot is the ship’s speed and heading data.
Li Hai looked along the route extension line. If the Yueyuan Fishing 325 ship did not change its course, then their destination would be Christmas Island!
Don't ask for ransom and sail towards Christmas Island. Their purpose of hijacking the ship is to escape!
After hijacking the ship, they did not make any demands or reply, which proved that their purpose was not to seek money, but the ship itself.
"The goal of the robbers is escape, not ransom. Please ask the war zone joint command to find out the background of the robbers as soon as possible." Li Hai made a decision and issued the latest order.
Ship No. 53 and Fishing Boat No. 101 of Gun Regiment followed closely behind the hijacked fishing boat. To the left and right, the Dolphin ship-borne helicopter was still hovering over the hijacked fishing boat and continued to conduct reconnaissance.
Soon, under the emergency mechanism and through multi-department cooperation, the relevant background information of the robbers was transmitted one after another.
Six hours ago, the police from China, Thailand and India once again conducted an in-depth investigation and arrest of the electronic fraud park on Santu Island. Because of the solid preliminary work, most of the suspects were arrested. After careful investigation and investigation, it was discovered that an electronic fraudster was arrested.
Several of the ringleaders of the fraud group ran away.
After studying their escape route, we concluded that the principal culprit who escaped was the robber who hijacked the Yue Yuan Yu 325 fishing boat.
This can explain that after hijacking the fishing boat, the robbers did not ask for any ransom, but just ran away to Christmas Island.
Christmas Island is very close to Indonesia, less than 500 kilometers from the Indonesian capital, and only 350 kilometers from the coast, but the island belongs to Australia.
Obviously, once this group of people arrives on Christmas Island, the police from China, Thailand and India will be unable to do anything to them.
After looking at the map, Chang Haizhou wondered, "It's strange. The Australian mainland is closer. Why would they go to Christmas Island instead of the nearest one?"
At its current location, it is five or six hundred kilometers away from the Australian mainland, but it is a full fifteen hundred kilometers away from Christmas Island.
Zhan Xiong said, "The Australian government's control over Christmas Island is very weak, and it is almost a lawless place. When we came over, we passed through the waters near Christmas Island and encountered several groups of pirates. They saw that we were operating in a large fleet.
That’s why I dare not take action.”
Obviously, Zhan Xiong is very familiar with the situation in various sea areas, and has a good understanding of the situation related to some islands with large populations far away from the mainland.
Li Hai suddenly asked, "Christmas Island is far away from mainland Australia. There should be an airport on the island, right?"
"There is a small airport that can take off commuter planes, usually regional planes with less than 50 seats." Zhan Xiong replied immediately.
Li Hai nodded slowly, thinking about countermeasures.
Regardless of the purpose of this group of people, how to rescue the crew of Yue Yuan Yu 325 and recapture this ship is the top priority.
The atmosphere in the bridge command center is very solemn. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is almost no way. There is a team on the No. 53 ship that can carry out armed assault. It is a temporarily formed assault squad, but all the crew members of the ship are selected for temporary training.
Yes, their assault combat capabilities are no problem against ordinary militants, but they are powerless against professional military personnel.
The reply to the joint command of the theater arrived, and a map of the distribution of troops within the surrounding five hundred nautical miles also arrived in Li Hai's hands.
Within a range of 500 nautical miles, there is a 052D, a 054A and a comprehensive supply ship, which are conducting a goodwill visit to a port city in Indonesia. This is the escort fleet returning to the Gulf of Aden.
Li Hai realized that these three ships were hopeless.
The order of the theater joint commander is also very clear - the No. 53 ship must rely on its own strength to rescue the Yue Yuan Yu 325 ship.
Li Hai no longer hesitated and said, "Based on the existing strength, we will immediately formulate a rescue plan."
He immediately took out the battle plan he thought of and presented it on the chart. Chang Haizhou and others put forward their opinions and improved the details, and Li Hai ordered its immediate implementation.
In the cockpit of the Yueyuanyu 325 ship, the leader is a man in his early fifties named Li Kunmin, who is the leader of the electronic fraud group. It is almost the same as Li Hai’s analysis. He managed to escape from the police of China, Thailand and India.
He was arrested and fled to the open sea on a high-speed yacht.
He spent a lot of money to hire twelve professional military personnel, and it was through this that he escaped from the police siege.
The Yue Yuan Yu 325 ship was also unlucky. At the intersection of day and night, Li Kunmin and his group approached. Those professional military personnel were very professional and took control of the entire ship before Zhang Biao and others could react.
Li Kunmin saw a warship following closely, but he was not worried. There were thirty-seven hostages in hand, and the warship did not dare to act rashly.
But soon, he discovered that there were many navigation lights in the sea areas in front, left and right, and the number was increasing.
He quickly picked up the telescope and ran out to observe, and found that they were all fishing boats, and slowly surrounded the Yueyuan Fishing 325 boat. However, they only surrounded the boat and did not take any more actions.
A drone replaced the Dolphin ship-based drone and hovered over the Yueyuanyu 325 ship. The real-time picture was transmitted to the bridge command center of the No. 53 ship.
At ten o'clock at night, all eighty fishing boats arrived at the designated position, surrounding the Yueyuan Fishing Boat 325 in the center. On both sides of it were the No. 53 Fishing Boat and the Fishing Boat No. 101 of the Gun Regiment. All these boats, together with the Yue Yuan Fishing Boat 325,
The Yuanyu 325 boat kept traveling at the same speed and made no more movements.
The first step of deployment is completed.
Seeing that these fishing boats did not make any more movements, and the nearest fishing boat always kept a distance of 300 meters from the Yue Yuan Fishing 325 boat, Li Kunmin was puzzled - what did they want to do? ()
