At 3 pm on October 6, 2000, the main island of the East Maluku Islands is located at the junction of the Arafura Sea and the Banda Sea.
This day is destined to be recorded in the history of humanity's humanitarian cause, because on this day, the last wave of globalized slavery in human history will be set off.
After this, there may still be sporadic slavery in some dark corners of the earth, such as in some relatively primitive African tribes and Oceanian tribes, but those are not places that intersect with the external globalized industrial chain.
, it is not easy for outsiders to detect.
However, the slave production method, which is organized, transnational, and embedded in global trade, is destined to begin to disappear.
The savior Gu Kun is about to make his debut.
Regarding the difficulty of the battle, Gu Kun didn't have any worries or worries in his heart.
He has a Kidd-class submarine and a Type 052 destroyer. Even if the "Jussen" yacht is too expensive to rush up and suppress it with Ziyuan anti-aircraft missiles and 730 close-in anti-aircraft firepower, the destroyers alone can deal with those slave owners.
.
…
In the bridge command room of the "Yonghua", Captain Ma Jiahui paced back and forth in front of the chart table, observing the situation from time to time. This afternoon's clearing task mainly relied on this ship to complete.
The officer in charge of the observation came over and reported: "Captain, the East Maluku Island is ahead, and it is still 25 nautical miles away. However, several small boats have been found on the sea, and they are turning. They may want to go back to the island to spread the news. We still have
Their radio transmissions were intercepted."
In places where there is no wireless communication network signal coverage, long-distance communication can only rely on walkie-talkies and radio stations. It is impossible for walkie-talkies to communicate with people more than ten or twenty nautical miles away, while radio stations communicate much farther away, but they can be intercepted.
.
The communication equipment on the 052 destroyer is not easy to intercept the radio stations of civilian ships.
"Close defense artillery warning, tell them to surrender immediately, stop communication, approach the island at full speed, and be fully prepared for battle."
With the warning of close-in defense artillery, there is no need to dwell on the fate of those small fish and shrimps outside. As long as they surrender obediently, they will be able to keep the people but not the ship.
On the deck, helicopters and amphibious armored vehicles immediately began to make final preparations - when Gu Kun originally bought the ship, of course he also bought the accompanying helicopter, and also bought two separate multi-purpose armored vehicles.
After all, the destroyer is not an amphibious assault ship and cannot transport too much amphibious cargo, but two armored vehicles are still easy to transport. Considering the draft problem, destroyers generally cannot get close to the shore within a thousand meters on the beach terrain, so it is equipped with
The car must be equipped with an amphibious and multi-purpose vehicle.
The original intention of buying these things was not to deal with pirates or fishermen and slave owners, but because Gu Kun was always cautious by nature and liked to be cunning. He always wanted to leave a "if something happens to the ship, there are many other ways to do it".
"Means of escape other than lifeboats". It was just a coincidence that I didn't expect it to be used here now.
Although the combat method seems a bit ancient, as backward as the Normandy landing 50 years ago, considering that the enemy is too fat, there is no problem. With the fire control and suppression of the destroyer, even if there is resistance on the beach, it can be accurately removed from a distance
.
As soon as Ma Jiahui gave the instructions, subordinates came over to ask for a fight almost immediately.
"Captain! Why don't you let our crews perform their tasks? Also, we have idle sailors and hope to invite them to participate in the landing!"
Ma Jiahui observed it and said politely: "You are all professional sailors. Of course, the ground combat tasks should be handed over to the people of Blackwater Security Company. Their identities are boss Gu's personal bodyguards. When the boss passes through dangerous
There is a fact that you are attacked when you are in the sea, and there is a risk of being attacked again and continuously. It is necessary for bodyguards to defend themselves and extinguish the source of the attack.
And you are now employed by the Lanzhou Navy. If you carry out ground missions, wouldn't it be equivalent to the legitimate defense of Lanzhou's national defense forces on foreign territory? This subject is not qualified. Just perform your duties on the ship."
The visitor immediately became anxious: "Then we voluntarily wear body armor and equipment from Blackwater Security Company and go ashore. Information here is so limited, no one will know! This is a letter of challenge from the soldiers."
Ma Jiahui was a little embarrassed: "This...with all due respect, even if you participate, you won't get any honors at all. It's impossible to award you a medal for the battle here. At most, we will give you some attendance allowance according to the standards of the security company."
And this is a matter between the Lanfang people, the poor people of Southeast Asia and the Indonesian slave owners, why do you have to wade into this muddy water."
"Indonesians are not good birds to begin with! We just volunteered to fight. Now that we have been hired to Lanfang, how can we miss the opportunity! We don't need to make our honor public."
Ma Jiahui thought for a while: "Then you go back and explain the situation quickly. There is no honor, no status as a sailor, only subsidies. If you agree with these conditions and still want to go, resubmit the petition and we will arrange it as appropriate. Two amphibious armored personnel carriers,
There aren't many people on a helicopter, and there are only 30 places at most. If you don't have outstanding personal professionalism, don't join in the fun."
"Okay, look at me, I'll make arrangements now!"
…
A few minutes later, in a bunker-like manor on East Maluku Island, Bandayuno was taking a lunch break in an air-conditioned room when he was cautiously awakened by his men.
"Asshole, didn't you see that I was resting?" Bandayuno was somewhat endowed with the demon king of hypotension, and he became very angry when he saw that he got out of bed.
The subordinate explained carefully with a cry: "Boss, two ships just sent back some suspected early warning messages. Do you want to listen to it? We recorded it..."
Banda Yuno was so angry that he slapped him in the face: "How do you do things? An early warning is an early warning, what is 'suspected'? I raise you to confirm clearly those 'suspicious' things."
!”
"Boss, please listen to my explanation. There is a high probability that this is an early warning - the reason why I say suspected is because they didn't even have a chance to finish sending, and the signal was cut off. I couldn't call back again, and there was no response." The younger brother felt aggrieved.
I almost cried, but I didn't dare to complain.
There is no way, this is how it is with slave owners.
"No response?" Bandayuno felt a burst of blood rushing to his head. Years of experience in cunning rabbits gave him an intuition that something must have really happened. "Then if you don't summon people immediately, it won't be Yusuf's people."
Are you grabbing territory?"
Up until this moment, his prediction of the attack was still about a battle for territory between slave owners.
Unfortunately, just as Bandayuno organized a gathering of nearly a hundred armed supervisors to prepare for alert, the sound of helicopters appeared in the horizon.
Bandayuno hurriedly hid in the tower and observed secretly. There was no radar on the island, so he could only rely on telescopes for visual inspection. He took a few glances and found that it did not look like the model bought by Yusuf, the slave lord next door.
What's even more frightening is that after the helicopter sighted and confirmed the target, almost immediately, 130 mm caliber naval gun shells flew over.
The main gun on the 052 is almost moved from the AK-130 of the Lucians in the 1980s. It has a double-barreled 130mm, a fire rate of more than 30 rounds per minute, and 60 rounds in each ammunition rack. There are additional ammunition in the entire ship's ammunition depot.
180 rounds of reserve ammunition.
Isn't 300 rounds of artillery shells enough to save a group of pirate slave owners?
As for the missiles, they are for air defense and anti-submarine warfare. They are too expensive and wasteful to use against ground targets. They are not worthy.
Fighting Pirates is originally a game that uses weapons from the 1990s to fight wars in the style of 50 years ago.
Bandayuno didn't even see clearly how the shells flew over. With the blessing of the fire control computer, his bunker-like manor was blown up by the 130mm cannon because it was too luxurious and conspicuous. He himself was buried in the chaos.
Under the pile of rocks, he was unconscious.
A few minutes later, two amphibious armored personnel carriers appeared on the shoal a few kilometers away, with less than 30 people in the vehicles.
There are at least two to three hundred overseers with guns on the island, and there are at least a dozen with RPGs and 40-gun fire. However, these leaderless guys are completely unable to form an organized resistance.
Some die-hard elements who relied on rocket launchers were relatively tough at first and wanted to defend the enemy on the beach. However, the effective range of the rocket launcher was too short - the accurate range of the RPG-7 against tank-sized targets was only 400 meters at most, and against semi-submersible amphibious vehicles.
It takes at least two to three hundred meters to hit a personnel carrier, because the cross-sectional area above the water is too small. If you shoot it a little lower, the rocket will hit the sea water.
How could helicopters and naval guns allow these people to stand stupidly on the beach, waiting for the amphibious personnel carrier to approach within 300 meters? The accuracy of modern sighting systems has basically reached the level of the AC-130 gunship in Call of Duty 4.
Almost there.
The helicopter maintained an absolutely safe altitude of over 600 meters, and used its cannon to call names one by one as if playing a Call of Duty game, and eliminated those stubborn guys.
The rest of the guys rushed halfway and saw that their companions had been killed. They dispersed and hid, but the coordinates and path were still clearly visible. Then they reported to Zhu Yuan to fire, and were greeted by another burst of 130mm naval guns.
The two amphibious personnel carriers landed easily.
"Comrades, be prepared. We are here to fight against pirates and liberate slaves. Although it is not for the motherland, it is also the most just cause!"
A commander on the remote troop vehicle gave a few words of encouragement at the end, and then the vehicle rushed across the beach at a high speed, entered an area where it could be hidden, and then got off the vehicle and spread out in a battle formation to facilitate the search and advance.
Everyone was mentally prepared for a big fight, but the progress was smoother than expected. Not only were the precise fire support from naval guns and helicopters more powerful, but even after fighting for a while, the messy firepower was remembered in the distance.
The gunshots, like exploding beans, were very dense, but the attacker did not feel the sound of bullets flying through the air.
"Company commander, what's going on? It seems like a lot of gunshots are not coming towards us?" Several soldiers were a little confused and asked their commander for advice.
The commander was also a little confused: "Don't let your guard down! Take alternate cover and search forward!"
Fifteen minutes later, as the bunker-like manor and several other important strongholds, fishing boat docks and other locations were cleared, the landing soldiers finally understood the situation.
"Report sir, we tortured several prisoners. Their supervisor team suffered too many casualties in the first wave of attacks. Several small bosses on the island panicked and distributed the remaining weapons to the slaves, trying to organize the slaves to participate in the fighting and resistance.
, and then..."
"Issuing weapons to slaves? These people really have low IQs." The leader seemed to have heard some very ridiculous and shocking news, and shook his head repeatedly.
These monkey slave owners probably don't even know the story of the Battle of Makino. How dare they issue weapons to these slaves who have bitter hatred and expect them to fight to the death for their slaves?
Unfortunately, it's just too unchallenging.
But this is good, at least there will be zero casualties on our side.
