The captain of the cargo ship saw several white lines suddenly appearing on the sea level in the distance, which were particularly prominent in the blue sea.
As an experienced captain, Captain Li instantly knew what it was, and his face became extremely ugly.
But he didn't take any action because it made no sense. It was impossible to run away when encountering pirates at the speed of a cargo ship.
We can only rely on the limited firepower on the ship and the height of the ship's hull that is more than ten meters or even dozens of meters above the sea to stop the enemy.
The next step is to look at the energy of the shipowner and see if we can contact the other party and solve the problem through other means.
It would definitely be best if it could be solved.
Captain Li frowned and silently figured out where these pirates came from. It is said that they are the Bao family's ships. Not to mention other places, but at least in Nanyang, they must be given some face at all levels.
He didn't know why he suddenly got into trouble. Could it be...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the gloomy-looking barber next to him.
If there is really a problem, it must be with Fatt, or more specifically with the cargo being hauled on board.
Captain Li knew what was in the warehouse, as well as Fatt's identity and the destination. Obviously someone didn't want the cargo to reach its destination.
At this moment, the second officer next to him also shouted: "What is that!"
Everyone's eyes moved to the side, and next to a few blurry white lines in the distance, two thicker white lines suddenly appeared.
It can be clearly seen that the two blurry shadows dragging the white lines are two larger pirate ships.
Originally, Captain Li was still a bit lucky, hoping to wait for the other party to come over to negotiate and see if there was any misunderstanding.
But when he saw those two big ships, he knew that things would definitely not be good today.
The first mate on the side also had an ugly look on his face, and he swallowed hard: "It's Sucai!"
Those of them who make a living at sea know a little about the major pirates everywhere and their backgrounds.
In the vicinity of Nanyang, the only one who can dispatch so many ships, apart from the pirate group in Borneo, is the Sukai Group with Siam's backing.
It is impossible to target them here in Borneo, plus the other party is coming from the north, the answer is obvious.
Captain Li withdrew his gaze and looked at Barber: "Sorry, we are in big trouble. For the sake of the ship and crew, as well as your own safety, I hope you and your people will maintain the necessary restraint."
The barber's face was even worse. In order to prevent problems, he went back to the ship with an elite team of twenty people.
If he encounters ordinary pirates at sea, he will definitely not be afraid at all.
But just now he also saw that there were not only more than ten pirate ships on the opposite side, but also two large ships.
Barber knows very well that although that kind of ship is nothing in a serious navy, it is definitely a heavy firepower for pirates and civilian ships.
It is equipped with at least a 30mm rapid-fire cannon.
Although the people at his disposal are elite, their firepower is light and there is no way they can compare with their opponents.
And in the event of a firefight, their cargo ship is not a warship.
The hairdresser said solemnly: "Then what should we do now?"
Captain Li said: "I will try to negotiate with the other party first, but given the current situation, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good. I hope you will be mentally prepared. When necessary..."
The barber pursed his lips tightly. He understood what Captain Li meant. It was necessary to sacrifice his wealth to save his life.
But how could he be willing to do so? Those weapons were worth fifty million US dollars, and more importantly, these weapons were likely to affect the next war that was crucial to them.
The barber was silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Captain Li didn't say much. He had already said what he needed to say. Whether he listened or not was not something he could control.
He only needs to be responsible for the dozens of crew members on the ship.
Sure enough, the barbers pondered for a moment and said in their hometown dialect: "Let our people prepare for battle."
A bearded man next to him immediately responded, his hand already on the pistol at his waist, and he glanced at Captain Li with a warning look.
Facing external threats, the interests of the crew represented by Captain Li and the cargo owner are no longer consistent.
At this time, Sucai's pirate group did not come straight over, but followed leisurely around the perimeter. At the same time, they sent speedboats to go around the other side of the cargo ship, forming a pincer attack before making contact via radio.
As for what he said, it was very simple.
Stop the cargo ship and they will ensure the safety of the people on board.
Captain Li looked at Barber Te, feeling increasingly helpless.
This statement seems simple, but it is sowing discord and completely alienating the crew on the ship from the cargo owner.
The barber's expression was serious and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, I believe you. You are the captain designated by Mr. Du. I believe in Mr. Du Fei and I believe in you too."
Captain Li felt even more miserable because neither side was a fuel-efficient lamp.
When Su Cai stirred up trouble, the barber brought out Du Fei to suppress him. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. If you think about it carefully, I can't fix you, but what about Du Fei?
At this moment, the 40mm machine gun on one of the large patrol ships of the pirate ships sailing parallel to the cargo ship suddenly opened fire.
Aiming at the water next to the cargo ship, "Bang~Bang~Bang~" were fired three times in a row. The shells blew up the sea water so high that everyone on the cargo ship became alert.
Captain Li had no choice but to tell the barber: "Our speed is slow and it is impossible to get rid of us. Although it is difficult for a gun of this caliber to sink us, it can make us lose power by destroying our rudder and propeller at the back... Very
I'm sorry, I can't let my crew die in vain. Sir, I also advise you not to act out of emotion."
The hairdresser also knew very well that the current situation was very unfavorable.
But he was really unwilling to give in and said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, I don't ask you to fight side by side, but our Syrian soldiers have never surrendered without firing a shot. This is our war, you can go to the safety cabin
.”
Captain Li frowned, and Barber's stubbornness made him quite embarrassed.
At the same time, I also admire him a little. He knew that the other party's identity was unusual, but he was able to stand up and fight without fear of death under such circumstances. It was admirable.
However, I admire Captain Li's reason and responsibility first to ensure the safety of the crew on board.
Immediately announce the stop of the ship, use the loudspeaker on the ship to make a broadcast, and ask the crew to retreat to the safety cabin immediately.
The safe cabin is actually a large metal box, designed to protect against pirates.
Store enough water and food inside, and after closing the hatch, it will be difficult to open it from the outside.
Usually when this happens, the pirates will retreat after plundering the property. They seek wealth rather than life.
When it is safe, the crew members will come out of the safety cabin.
Captain Li used a loudspeaker to make a broadcast to tell the pirates that it was not that we were ignorant, but that there was really nothing we could do.
Now that we are in the safety cabin, you can do the rest by yourself~
At this time, Barber put on his body armor and held a 56-gun in his hand, calling his more than 20 men to get ready for battle.
At this time, besides firearms, the most important thing is the rocket launcher.
Except for the two decommissioned patrol boats, the pirates' other speedboats could not withstand one or two hits from rocket launchers.
The only things that are difficult to deal with are the two large patrol boats. The hulls of these patrol boats are more or less armored. One of them is dozens of meters long. A rocket attack will scratch it.
At this time, on a patrol boat, Su Chai was sitting on the deck of the patrol boat with his shirtless upper body, a pair of camouflage pants, and a pair of American military boots.
Faintly hearing the broadcast from the cargo ship, I couldn't help but sneer, flexed my neck, stood up and said, "It seems that our Middle Eastern friends want to see our strength~" As he said this, he looked at the cargo ship contemptuously, with a fierce look in his eyes.
He raised his chin with coldness and said: "Let the brothers come in, don't be merciful."
"Yes~" Someone immediately followed the order and used the radio to communicate the order with people on other ships.
In less than two minutes, several speedboats that were originally keeping parallel to the cargo ship immediately changed their course and quickly approached the cargo ship in an irregular route.
When they were several hundred meters away, the people on these speedboats took the lead in shooting.
However, at such a distance, the shooting was just for demonstration and did not pose any threat to the cargo ship and the people on board.
There was no movement on Barber's side. The more than twenty people under his command were all elite soldiers, and the most indispensable thing in a place like the Middle East was combat experience.
It wasn't until the pirate speedboat on the opposite side approached 200 meters that they started to fight back.
Following a burst of intense automatic rifle fire, two overly arrogant pirates on the speedboat closest to the cargo ship were hit and turned over and fell into the sea.
Su Cai stood behind and his expression did not change when he saw this scene.
In his eyes, those who rush to the front are all cannon fodder. They will die if they die. He can recruit them at will, and there will be plenty of people to come.
The two people who were killed just now were also idiots. They knew clearly that there were armed forces on the other side, but they still stood there with such arrogance. Who would die if they didn't die?
At this time, with the sound of gunfire, the rocket launcher on Barber's side also began to fire.
Aiming at the approaching speedboat, several rocket launchers were launched simultaneously.
A trail of white smoke was dragged up on the sea.
However, the target speedboat suddenly accelerated, followed by a rapid sway, and its posture was very coquettish, and it immediately avoided the rocket launcher attack.
Standing on the cargo ship and seeing this scene, Fa Te's expression became even more serious.
The reality was worse than what he had just expected. These pirates were very powerful in combat and were not just a bunch of gangsters.
At this moment, Sucai waved his hand on the patrol boat.
The subordinates understood immediately, and soon the main gun on the front deck of the patrol ship was aimed at the cargo ship, and opened fire with "bang~bang~bang~".
This time it was not a warning shot, but a direct hit on the side of the cargo ship.
Fortunately, a cargo ship with a displacement of several thousand tons is large enough, so being hit by a few 40mm cannons is not a big deal.
But even so, it couldn't withstand the continuous attacks.
In fact, Sukai had already received it. He had received two million dollars from Youtai, but that was not the money he paid for his life.
He had investigated in advance and found out that the barber on the ship was the younger brother of the Syrian commander.
If he really wanted to die here, one can only imagine what kind of revenge he would receive.
No matter what else, as long as a reward of one million dollars is placed in the underground world, countless killers will flock to his head.
Although Sukai thinks he is very strong, he does not want to receive that kind of treatment.
Therefore, his cannon only hit the side of the ship and did not attack the superstructure of the cargo ship.
Even so, the man on the cargo ship also felt the pressure.
When the patrol boat opened fire, they had to find shelter to hide.
This leaves an opportunity for those speedboats to seize the interval of firepower, and the speedboats will immediately approach it, use special tools to launch rope ladders, and grab the grappling hooks to the cargo ship's hull.
Upon discovering this situation, Barber's men immediately rushed forward and tried to cut off the rope ladder.
But unfortunately, these rope ladders are all made of metal cores, and ordinary knives cannot cut them.
But out of desperation, he immediately hit Wang Chuan with a rocket launcher.
Just now, the speedboat relied on its speed to move to avoid it. Now it is leaning next to the cargo ship, and there is no way to hide.
Immediately, a speedboat was hit by two rocket launchers and caught fire.
People on the speedboat jumped into the water to escape.
Su Kai looked at it from a distance and frowned slightly.
He doesn't care about the lives of his men, but he cares about the speedboat!
These speedboats are his property, they are what he eats, and any loss of one is his flesh.
Fortunately, progress was made on the other side of the cargo ship.
Just when the barber and most of his men were staring at Su Kai.
The speedboat that had gone around to the other end quietly followed up.
At this time, the shortcomings of insufficient manpower for barbering are reflected.
This time, he only had twenty people with him, scattered on a cargo ship of several thousand tons, and he was completely focused on his head and body.
If you don't pay attention to that side, someone will take advantage of it and quietly climb up the rope ladder.
Fortunately, a warning was left there. As soon as the two pirates climbed up, they were discovered by a soldier, who immediately blew the warning whistle and raised his gun to shoot.
"Da da da~" "Da da da~"
The marksmanship was very precise. Two consecutive bursts of fire made the two men fall to the ground.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, an iron hook was thrown up from the side of the boat behind him.
The soldier immediately rushed over, leaned forward and wanted to shoot downwards, but as soon as he put his head out, his vision went dark, and he saw a figure, like a water monkey, all wet, climbing up quickly along a rope, the speed was obviously far away.
Far beyond ordinary people.
The Syrian soldier stuck his head out, and the man raised his head upwards. Their eyes met, and the man grinned, with two rows of white teeth showing on his dark face.
But at the next moment, a mouthful of seawater spurted out from his mouth.
The water spurted out like an arrow and hit the soldier in the face. The soldier screamed and was directly penetrated by the water arrow in his left eye.
The man who looked like a water monkey smiled triumphantly, and followed the net to escape. He was already on the deck. He glanced at the soldier who was lying on the ground and screamed. He followed up and kicked him, breaking his neck, and the screams suddenly stopped.
However, the movement here also alerted Syrian soldiers in other places, and immediately someone shouted and started shooting.
The man dodged, hid behind a nearby ventilation duct, and picked up the assault rifle of the soldier just now.
He hid behind the pipe and didn't aim with a probe. He just stretched out the muzzle of the gun and squeezed the trigger to empty the magazine.
However, his seemingly random shooting turned out to be extremely accurate. With just one shot, he knocked down two more soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the team of twenty people lost three people.
This man who looks like a water monkey is much stronger than normal people.
When Barber's side reacted, this man had already thrown away his 56 shot, which was out of bullets, and rushed straight towards Barber's body like a ghost.
As the saying goes, to shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first.
As long as Fatt is controlled, this battle will be over.
The three people who had been protecting the barbers were not good at it either. They immediately concentrated their firepower and started cross-attacking.
But the man was so determined to catch Fatt that he roared, his muscles tensed up, and he rolled into a ball in the air. While dodging most of the bullets, he actually took several shots forcefully.
There is no doubt about the power of 56 punch, but when it hits this man, the bullet can only break the skin and embed into the muscle, but it can't hit him!
In just a flash, the man was in front of the barber.
The grin revealed two rows of white teeth again, and as if he felt that he had a chance to win, he reached out to grab the barber's neck.
But at this moment, the bearded officer who had been following Barber, the commander of this elite team, and had never participated in the battle before, suddenly dodged, and followed a ray of cold light that swept towards the man's neck at an extremely fast speed.
The man was startled and immediately raised his hands to block.
With a pop, the muscles and skin that had only been slightly broken by the rifle bullets before were actually cut open with a deep gash.
The white cold light revealed his true form, and it turned out to be his ordinary military dagger.
The bearded officer had no expression on his face. After succeeding in one move, he immediately pursued him and got into a fight with this water monkey-like person.
With Barber's identity, it is not surprising to have such a master around. Moreover, Syria is a small country with a long history, and it is easy for strange people to appear.
The bearded officer used the knife very quickly, leaving several wounds on the 'Water Monkey' in an instant, and bright red blood spilled all over the floor.
But the 'water monkey' didn't seem to know the pain. He didn't care about the wounds on his body and instead kept laughing.
He wiped a handful of blood from the wound with his hand, stretched out his long tongue and took a lick, as if he was tasting some delicious food.
The bearded officer frowned. Although it was just a face-to-face encounter, he had already used his full strength. The opponent was very powerful and should be above him.
At the same time, the pirates' attack became more fierce, and the soldiers on his side lost two more people, and now only fifteen people were left.
This made the bearded officer a little anxious. In a blink of an eye, the 'water monkey' rushed forward, his body rose into the air, and his belly suddenly bulged. When he was still two or three meters away from the bearded officer, he suddenly jumped from
A water dragon spurted out of his mouth.
The bearded officer quickly waved his dagger to block. He was originally holding it with one hand, but at some point, a dagger appeared in his left hand. The two daggers were unable to be splashed by the water he was waving, and they were cut by the water dragon in the blink of an eye.
into countless water drops.
However, the 'water monkey' instead smiled and let out a strange cry.
At this moment, those water drops that had just been chopped up by the bearded officer exploded at the same time!
The power of the explosion instantly overwhelmed the bearded officer.
A scream came from a cloud of white mist.
A gust of sea breeze blew away the white mist formed by the exploding water vapor, revealing the bearded officer.
The camouflage uniform on his upper body was all torn, and his strong upper body muscles were covered with large and small wounds. His beautiful beard was also messed up, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He was obviously seriously injured.
Seeing this, the water monkey smiled ferociously again.
The hairdresser had a look of astonishment on his face. No matter how urgent it was before, he knew it.
Because he has a trump card beside him, which is his confidence.
However, now, this trump card has been taken away, which makes him feel unsure.
Seeing that the 'water monkey' was about to charge up again, I couldn't help but shout "Stop"!
Barber was both angry and desperate. The moment the bearded officer fell into a disadvantage, he knew that today's trip was definitely hopeless.
Thinking of the hundreds of tank air conditioners on the ship, the thousand rounds of heartless artillery shells, and those anti-tank mines, getting a haircut was like a knife.
He didn't feel too bad about losing the 50 million US dollars.
But if these things on the ship reach Syria, it is unknown how much damage it will cause to the enemy.
But now...he can do nothing but try to let the remaining soldiers who came out with him go back alive.
There is no point in sacrificing anymore. It is better to go back and fight the Youtai people than to die here.
Call the remaining soldiers to gather with him, give up their position beside the ship, and let the pirates come up.
At this time, they still have fifteen people left, and their fighting power is still there.
Although the bearded officer was injured, he did not lose his combat effectiveness.
Besides, the 'water monkey' didn't get much benefit either.
The most important thing is that Suchai repeatedly emphasized before coming here not to hurt the hairdresser's life.
On the patrol ship, Sucai looked at the situation on the cargo ship with his binoculars, and couldn't help but smile proudly.
This time he won again.
He put down the telescope, waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "Let's get on the boat!"
On the cargo ship, Barber, who retreated to the cockpit, was extremely depressed. He did not expect that this trip to the East would end in this way.
Looking at the bearded officer who was covered in wounds but said nothing, and the soldier holding the rifle tightly, I felt mixed emotions.
The hairdresser took a deep breath and cheered up.
Anyone present could let their emotions be released, but not him.
Because he is Hafez's younger brother and a member of the Assad family. No matter when the time comes, he cannot fall first.
Barber gritted his teeth and wanted to say a few words to boost morale. It was not the end yet. Next, they still needed to negotiate with the pirates to at least maintain the final dignity.
However, before the hairdresser could open his mouth, there was a sudden "bang".
Without any warning, the head of the 'water monkey' that injured the bearded officer suddenly exploded!
Suddenly, everyone was shocked.
Not only the people on Barber's side, but also the pirates who took the opportunity to climb onto the cargo ship.
Because it was so sudden, no one knew what was going on, and this powerful man who was second only to Sucai in the Sucai Group was shot in the head.
In the next second, a "boom" sound came from the distance.
That was the sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle. Because the distance was too far just now, the speed of the bullet exceeded the speed of sound.
The headless corpse of the water monkey twitched and fell to the ground.
Hearing this sound, everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the gunfire came.
In the distance, a huge black shadow broke through the white clouds in the sky and suddenly appeared in people's field of vision.
On the huge fuselage, there is a very conspicuous picture of a shark with its huge mouth open. It is the No. 1 gunship modified from the Y-8 that Du Fei often flew in before.
At this time, Du Fei was on the plane.
He had previously arrived in Kuching on another Y-8. Then he learned that the Sukai Group was dispatched and immediately set off on this gunship.
The hatch on the left side of the gunship was open, but there was no machine gunner. Eagle sat at the hatch, one foot on the machine gun rack below, and both hands holding a sniper rifle modified from an anti-materiel rifle.
It was Eagle who shot him in the head from a plane four kilometers away.
Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot do it under such conditions.
Only Eagle, whose personal qualities are far beyond ordinary people, can control this kind of anti-material rifle that is specially designed to deal with tanks and armored vehicles.
Du Fei was in the cabin, leaning on his seat and closing his eyes to rest. In fact, he locked the target through the crow, and then passed it to Eagle through the spiritual link.
After confirming that the target was killed, Du Fei opened his eyes and said calmly: "Okay, let's officially start~"
Eagle retracted from the hatch and let the original machine gunner pass. He looked at the sniper rifle in his hand and couldn't put it down.
This gun is a large-caliber sniper rifle newly developed by Factory 8270 based on Du Fei's requirements. The barrel diameter is as high as 20 mm and the effective range is 4 kilometers.
However, there were problems with recoil and accuracy, so only two prototype guns were made and then shelved.
This is one of the prototype guns.
At the same time, the pirates on the sea were dumbfounded. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a large plane suddenly appear in the sky.
They immediately recognized it as the gunship known as the "Devil of Borneo".
It was during the Riau Islands and later during the night in Kuching that the gunship gained this reputation.
The pirates of the Sukai Group had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
But he didn't have time to think about it. Immediately after the first gunship appeared, one on the left and one on the right broke through the clouds, and two other gunships of the same size appeared, but with different coatings.
One of them depicts the Rakshasa sea beast, and the other depicts the giant Kunpeng eagle.
After the two planes appeared, a total of three gunships opened fire at the same time, pouring a torrent of shells and bullets onto all ships on the sea except the cargo ship.
Three 100mm main guns, six 37mm machine guns, and six 20mm heavy machine guns.
In an instant, more than a dozen speedboats were sent to the bottom of the sea.
Facing the crushing firepower of the gunships, the pirate ships of the Sukai Group were like paper.
The people on the ship were even more vulnerable. Many people were directly killed by artillery shells, and some were hit by machine gun bullets. They also lost arms and legs and fell into the sea, dyeing the sea red...
Su Chai, who was standing on the patrol boat, looked confused.
A moment ago, he was very proud of himself, thinking that the two million U.S. dollars from the Utai people was so profitable.
I also thought about what could be loaded on this cargo ship, maybe I could make an extra fortune.
But I didn't expect that it would be all over the next moment.
After years of hard work, the wealth I finally saved was gone in less than two minutes.
He clearly knew where the things carried on this cargo ship came from, and he also knew the relationship between Kuching and there.
I just didn't expect that Kuching would react so quickly and actually dispatch three gunships to catch him.
According to Sucai's idea, as long as he did this neatly and immediately ran back to his hometown and hid after it was done, there would be nothing they could do to him even if the people in Kuching knew about it.
Unexpectedly, after it was useless, Du Fei was already waiting for him here.
