In life on the freighter, we adopt the principle of hiking day and walking at night...
The reason I did this is because I was worried about the Soviet spy satellites... We have seen the power of the American spy satellites. How many people boarded the trains are clear, the Soviet Union also has spy satellites, and our cargo ship
It is still heading to a sensitive area of Pakistan, so we naturally have to be careful.
As for eating, etc.... they are naturally put until night. During the day, we just put them on marches in containers and were sleeping.
Of course, only the people from our camp department can sleep... As for the soldiers, in order to keep them physically strong and vigorously fighting spirit, they have to undergo physical training even in the container. However, because the space is small, it can be done
The training subjects are only burping, sit-ups or gun maintenance.
Perhaps it was because of the instructions from the superior that Li Ming, the captain and the crew rarely contacted us, nor did they ask us any questions... They didn't dare to approach us except for delivering food to us regularly.
Later I found out... these crew members have actually been carefully screened and carefully reviewed, and have been repeatedly warned that this matter is related to **. If the leak is caused, they will be severely dealt with... So the crew members can only stay away from us.
.
But after the freighter sailed on the sea for more than ten days... Li Ming and Captain took the initiative to come to me...
The soldiers have not had a good time for these ten days. The main reason is that many people have never taken a boat in their entire lives. They suddenly come to the sea and even stagger when they sleep. They naturally feel a little uncomfortable.
The strongest reaction should be Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao... They were very excited at first. They basically stayed in the mountains all their lives. This was the first time they saw the sea, so they didn't sleep all night.
Just looking at the stars on the deck and the sea view... But the next day when the wind and waves were getting bigger, they were miserable when the freighter shook and they vomited so hard that they were spitting out loud. Fortunately, Li Ming and Captain had already considered this and were specially in the container.
I prepared a few buckets... Otherwise, I don't know what it will be like here.
"Captain Yang!" Li Minghe went to the container to find me in a panic on that day and said, "It's not convenient for you... to come to the cab?"
"Um!" I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I heard this. It's daytime... It's time for us to hide.
But I also know... if it were not forbidden, Li Minghe would not have chosen to do this.
So I got my military uniform and walked out with Li Minghe... I just thought to myself that even if the Soviet spy satellites were always staring at our cargo ship, I was afraid I wouldn't notice a small matter like one more person.
"What's the situation?" I asked while following Captain Li to the cab.
"I'm not sure either!" Captain Li said: "But... maybe we met pirates!"
"Pirates?" I couldn't help but feel funny when I heard this... Our ship is equipped with 500 well-trained and well-equipped warriors! He even encountered pirates...
But then I thought about it... our march is a secret. If we catch fire with the pirates, everything will be exposed.
"Look here!" After the captain took me into the cab, he pointed to the two small highlights on the radar and said: "These two ships have been following us for two hours, and they suddenly accelerated... At this speed
, They only need half an hour to catch up with us!”
"Are you sure it's a pirate?" I asked.
"Unsure!" The captain shook his head: "But we intend to change the course of this, but these two ships also changed their course!"
"Yeah!" I nodded. The captain's move was very smart. Although this way, it would not prove that these two ships were pirates... it at least proved that they came for this cargo ship.
After thinking about it, I asked, "Have you ever encountered pirates before?"
"have!"
“How to solve it?”
"Start up and delay time and call for rescue!" Captain Li replied: "But now..."
"Oh!" I understood when I saw Captain Li's embarrassing expression on his face. Because we were on the boat and were still ashamed... so I was afraid that it was inappropriate to call for rescue.
"We usually form a fleet to sail!" Captain Li continued: "There will be some armed forces in the fleet to escort, and the pirates dare not take our ideas, but this time..."
I nodded... This time, it was obviously for the sake of confidentiality, so I sailed alone, and unexpectedly became the target of the pirates.
I looked at my watch and it was four o'clock in the afternoon...
So he asked, "Is there any way to drag it until dark?"
Captain Li shook his head helplessly.
"Start up!" I said, "Drag as long as you can, and try to keep it until dark!"
"Yes!" Captain Li responded and quickly conveyed the order.
Then when we speed up the two highlights also speed up the speed at the same time... So there is no need to think about it anymore, most of the time the pirates can't escape.
Not long after, I heard the crew member holding a telescope and observing, "Captain... the target has appeared, and both speedboats... have guns!"
I rushed up a few steps and raised my telescope to see... It was true that two speedboats were circumventing the freighter we were at, one left and one right.
I wanted to laugh when I saw them like this... I counted it carefully. There were only seven people in the two speedboats. There were a variety of weapons in their hands, three AK47s, two old-fashioned bolt-pull rifles, and the other two
Even holding a revolver...
Such an armed force is still a pirate? I couldn't help but look at Captain Li with some confusion.
Captain Li seemed to see through my thoughts and explained helplessly: "Captain Yang... These pirates may be like an ant in your eyes, but it is different for us. We have it in our hands.
At best, there are a few knives, so what can I use to?”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly... The facts may be as Captain Li said, in a peaceful world... there are some things that are not something that those of us who rolled out of the battlefield can imagine.
"How much time does Daqing need to catch up?" I asked.
I have no idea about the speed of the ship, so of course I have to ask Captain Li about these things.
"There are ten minutes left!" Captain Li said: "I'm afraid there will be difficulties if I want to drag it until dark!"
"What will they do?" I asked again.
"They will have a rack to hook our ship's side!" Captain Li said: "Then climb onto our ship and force us to change our course to the place they want us to go...and then the whole ship's cargo will belong to them,
Even our crew members and this ship... need to be redeemed with ransom, otherwise..."
I don't need to say more about the following words, I understand.
"So it!" I thought about it and said, "Let them get on the boat... and meet all their requirements, just wait until dark... do you understand?"
"I understand!" Captain Li responded, but a hint of horror flashed in his eyes and said, "Captain Yang...what if this pirate kills people indiscriminately?"
"It doesn't matter!" I said, "I will bring a few people here to mingle with the crew... If it really doesn't work, I'll get rid of them before talking about it!"
"Oh!" Captain Li breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying that, I ran back to the container in three or two steps and shouted: "Everyone has it, be ready for battle! Li Zuolong, Bayonet, Saheide... You guys come with me, the others are commanded by the deputy battalion commander...
”
"Yes!" The soldiers responded with a loud bang. They had been holding in the container for training for so many days, and they had long wanted to move their muscles. Now they heard that they had a task and were inexplicably excited.
"Battery Commander!" Zhang Zuoliang rushed over and asked when we unplugged our equipment and went to the cab: "What's the situation with the enemy?"
"Um!" Only then did I realize that Zhang Zuoliang and others had been staying in the container and knew nothing about the situation of the pirates, so I responded: "The enemy is a pirate... There are seven people in total, three ak47, two ak47, and two ak47.
Two rifles…”
"What? Seven people? There are still pistols?" Zhang Zuoliang looked at me in disbelief, and the soldiers also made a disappointing sound.
"Appoint it for me!" I unarmed my arms and took off my hat and said, "Don't be careless, don't do anything for the time being... Don't do it until it's dark... I must ensure the safety of the crew members
, understand?"
"clear!"
After explaining this, I waved my hand and ran back to the cab with the disarmed Li Zuolong and others...
Captain Li was stunned when he saw us: "Captain Yang...you... don't have any guns? Then..."
I know what Captain Li means. He thought that if we didn't bring a gun, we would be afraid that we would not even be able to protect ourselves. How could we protect the safety of the crew?
"Don't worry!" Li Zuolong smiled and said, "It's just a few pirates... I can't escape without a gun!"
"Well!" Captain Li responded, and half-believing and half-doubting, we separated and sat next to the crew.
I raised my telescope again and looked at the two speedboats... At this time, they had already reached our side and left and right, and they were very arrogant and fired a bullet in the sky, holding a small horn to the cab with a stiff horn.
Chinese yelled: "Stop the ship now, we are police officers, and we want to check your cargo!"
Damn! Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart... This excuse is too unpleasant! They all dress like beggars, and they pretend to be police... and the police wouldn't shoot in the sky before the inspection!
But I still ordered Captain Li: "Stop the ship!"
So the freighter quickly slowed down and then slowly stopped, which made the pirates ecstatic... Before the ship could stop, they hooked up the stairs on the side of the ship and climbed up one by one...
But what they don’t know is that when they come up... they are afraid they will never go back! (To be continued.)
