In order to prevent the pirates from cheating, Jackie Chan, who has always been violent and steady in his work, chose to retreat to the corner of the passage.
He shouted to the pirates in English: "We are the ZG Naval Special Forces. Now we officially accept your surrender. You must first throw the gun out of it according to our request, and then walk out of it with your hands raised."
I warn you not to take any chances or try to be clever, otherwise the severest punishment will be waiting for you. "
Jackie Chan is tall and powerful in his speech, just like the bell, which is extremely intimidating.
The pirates responded immediately and threw their guns out of the room, three tattered and badly worn automatic rifles.
The butt of one of the guns was broken, so a steel bar was bent a few times and welded to it to make up the number.
Using such inferior weapons as pirates, Jackie Chan was really worried that when these guys fired, the bullets would explode and kill them.
The three pirates who then walked out of the room were even shabbier than these three broken guns.
The clothes he wore were all cheap, either shorts with a large vest, jeans with short sleeves, or "fashionable" ones with holes or discoloration.
There was not even a few ounces of flesh on their bodies, and they were all skinny and bones.
My weight is probably less than 100 pounds.
Seeing such shabby pirates, Jackie Chan really didn't know what to say about them. He could only use four words to describe them - extremely vicious.
The three Somali pirates were so frightened that they did not dare to be cautious at all.
The entire surrender process went very smoothly. The three pirates walked out of the room in a line and faced the wall at the corner with their guns pointed at them.
After being searched by Zhuang Yan and Xu Sanduo, they were all tied up with their backhands.
During this period, Jackie Chan asked the three pirates whether there were any other accomplices who were still hiding except the two pirates who were killed inside.
The answer was that there were only five in total, and there were no other pirates scattered and hiding.
Jackie Chan turned to the captain and saw several pirates boarding the ship.
The captain had already discovered it when the pirates chased him. He also tried various methods, but in the end he was unsuccessful.
Therefore, he actually knew everything about how many pirates were coming.
The captain's answer was also five, each on two speedboats.
The division of labor among pirates is also very clear.
One of the ships was a combat ship, with three gun-wielding pirates on board. They were responsible for controlling the attack on the cargo ship and preventing the crew from preventing the pirates from boarding the ship.
If any crew members approached, they would shoot them with their guns.
The other boat was a boarding boat, which was equipped with simple equipment for climbing, so the number of people on board was relatively small, only two people.
One of the men controls the speedboat.
When they got close to the cargo ship and were traveling at the same speed, another pirate began to use equipment to board the ship.
With the skilled cooperation of the pirates, even if the cargo ship sailed at the fastest speed, it could not prevent the pirates from forcibly boarding the ship.
The captain almost witnessed the entire process from the pirates' approach to their successful boarding.
He could only stare and couldn't do anything else. It was very simple to count how many pirates were attacking.
After confirming that all the pirates had been found, Jackie reported the situation to the Yangzhou.
After receiving instructions from the Yangzhou to return at the end of its mission, Jackie Chan took three pirates and two corpses out of the cabin and onto the deck.
Then he took the assault boat sent by Yangzhou Gao and returned to the Yangzhou with the prisoners and corpses.
The reason why they even brought two corpses back instead of leaving them on the Antai Mountain or throwing them directly into the sea to be used as feed for the fish.
One is that the crew members are just ordinary people, and it is very troublesome for them to deal with the corpses.
The other is that the body is the proof.
In other words, to explain it more straightforwardly, it means receiving awards for meritorious service.
Killing him in actual combat is a great achievement!
The Yanlong team returned to the Yangzhou and handed over the pirates' living bodies and bodies to the intelligence team on the ship. They were responsible for the rest of the work.
The Yanlong team, which successfully completed the first mission of the trip, can enjoy the results of their victory from this moment on.
Under the special arrangement of Captain Zhang, the Yangzhou's cooking team specially added small stoves to the Yanlong team to express congratulations on the successful completion of the mission.
A video and telephone conference was held in the evening, and a superior leader spoke highly of the Yanlong team.
It is also hoped that the Yanlong team will continue to work hard to fulfill its mission in the next voyage and complete the sacred mission assigned by the motherland and superior leaders.
Everyone in the Yanlong Team must be very happy to be recognized and commended by their superiors.
I am more motivated!
…
Everyone in the Yanlong team was in a good mood. The blue sky, white clouds and blue waves were very pleasant. They were even more looking forward to the next voyage.
Taking the Suez Canal is a popular route, and the number of ships has increased significantly after entering the Gulf of Aden.
The Yangzhou frigate, flying the five-star red flag, has a sharp increase in the probability of encountering a large ship along the way. It no longer goes without seeing a ship for several days as before.
Most of the ships were extremely surprised when they saw the warship flying the red flag and couldn't believe it was true.
And you don’t even know many of them!
After all, our country's warships rarely leave the coastal areas, and the outside world's knowledge of warships is extremely limited, let alone appearing in the Gulf of Aden, thousands of nautical miles away.
It is difficult for ships from various countries not to be surprised when they see ZG warships for the first time.
I also encountered an escort warship on the way, flying a NATO flag and a British flag. I was also surprised by the appearance of the Yangzhou.
but.
No matter how surprised they were, they didn't come closer. The two sides met each other nearly ten nautical miles apart, and even passed by each other without even having a radio connection.
In fact, I don’t know what to say, it’s better to just pretend I didn’t see it.
Only ships from ZG will be excited to shout on the public channel when they see warships to show respect to warships from the motherland.
We also hope that warships from the motherland can bring peace to the Gulf of Aden.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
The Yangzhou has already penetrated deep into the Gulf of Aden from the offshore waters of Somalia. At the front corner and heading north, it leads directly to the Suez Canal, the world's largest man-made canal.
However, just as the Yangzhou was preparing to head north, it suddenly received an emergency radio signal.
Time goes back to twenty minutes ago.
The container ship Guangdong sailed to Pirate Alley and was targeted by a group of Somali pirates.
It was the same method as the hijacking of the Antaishan. The two speedboats still approached quickly, one covered the operation of the other, and they climbed onto the container ship in a few minutes.
On the Guangdong, which is more than 300 meters long, there are two paid security guards.
Although the two security guards tried their best, the Guangdong was too long and the two security guards couldn't take care of it, let alone prevent the pirates from boarding the ship.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming, everyone, run away."
The crew members who were watching nervously on the deck saw the pirates climbing up and immediately turned around and ran toward the bridge, shouting warnings while running.
The two pirates who climbed up chased after them, warning as they ran: "Don't run! If you run again I'll shoot!"
This Somali pirate spoke Somali. The few ZG crew members running in front could not understand him. All they could think about was running for their lives.
"Da da da…"
Seeing that shouting had no effect on the crew, the pirates shot them with a hail of bullets.
Don't say it.
The marksmanship is very accurate.
When shooting, they also know to stop and aim. From this, it can be seen that this group of pirates is extraordinary and more professional than others.
A crew member at the end was unlucky. He was shot in the left calf and fell forward to the ground.
The one-eyed pirate who was chasing behind him immediately reminded loudly: "We only want hostages, and the hostages are money. Don't kill them."
Hearing what the one-eyed pirate said, the pirate running in front immediately stopped shooting.
When the other crew members saw that the pirates were not shooting, they did not give up on the injured crew member. Two people ran back, one holding the crew member on the left and the other on the right, and continued running.
As the two sides chased and escaped, they soon arrived under the bridge of the ship.
The crew members all ran upwards, instinctively wanting to find the captain and ask him to find a way to save themselves, but the captain was in the cab at the moment.
The two security guards were holding shotguns, which looked intimidating in their hands and were very lethal at close range.
Perfect for use as a self-defense weapon!
However, the pirates all use AK series automatic rifles, and they are obviously trained professional pirates, so their marksmanship is sufficiently guaranteed.
The escort security guard on the second floor of the bridge was killed within twenty seconds of the meeting.
Seeing that something was wrong, the second escort security officer immediately evacuated to the third floor. All the crew members followed him and the crew became more densely packed as they went up.
The pirates were not in a hurry to pursue them, but instead chose to divide their forces into two groups.
All the way up, the pressure continued to attack the cockpit, and the other way entered the cabin from the entrance on the first floor.
While blocking the way for the crew on the bridge to come down and hide in the safety cabin, they first took control of the core engine room of the ship.
This group of pirates has greater ambitions. They are planning to turn the ship around and hijack it into Somali territorial waters.
This way.
Even if there happened to be an escort warship nearby, they would not dare to cross the coastal line and enter Somalia for rescue.
In order for the ship to sail smoothly into Somalia, the most important thing is of course the cab on the bridge, followed by the heavy oil engine responsible for the advancement of the container ship.
The captain has been in the uppermost wheelhouse, observing the situation of pirates and security.
I thought that if the escort security could hold on, I would be able to escape today.
Unexpectedly, one of the escort security guards was killed just after the exchange of fire between the two sides, and the other one could only run away and came to the fourth floor to guard the entrance to the stairs.
I thought that when I got stuck on the stairs coming up, I could hold the spray gun as steady as an old dog.
Come up one and spray one, come up and spray a pair.
As a result, this remaining escort security guard most likely did not read the almanac when he went out. His face was too dark, and he died very unjustly.
The pirates downstairs fired with rifles in the direction of the escort security.
"Da da da da..."
The two guns came down with bullets.
The security guard, who was blocked by a thick steel plate in a straight line, was hit by a bullet that hit the iron gauntlet next to him and ricocheted into a stray bullet.
Moreover, it hit the back of the head exactly, and the bullet shattered the back of the head and entered the head.
The security guard disappeared on the spot.
The body rolled down the stairs.
When the pirates below saw that the security was gone, they no longer had any scruples. They came out from behind the bunker arrogantly and stood under the bridge.
Among them, the one-eyed wolf pirate who seemed to be the leader had one eye staring at the captain sinisterly.
"It's over now!"
Seeing that the last hope of defense was gone, and seeing the cold eyes of the pirate leader, the captain screamed in his heart that something was wrong, turned around and ran towards the cab.
Use the radio to call for help through the public channel: "Emergency call for help, emergency call for help, this is the merchant ship Guangdong, we are being attacked by pirates."
Repeat, we were attacked by pirates and urgently need emergency rescue. Our coordinates are..."
"Da da da……"
The captain's cry for help had just been shouted out, but the response was a pirate's bullet.
"Go to the safety cabin, quickly, go to the safety cabin."
After completing the emergency call, the captain ran out and shouted to the crew to prepare to rush to the emergency exit and go down to the safety cabin of the cabin to hide from danger.
The crew also knew that this was their last hope and ran towards the emergency exit.
As a result, before any of the crew members could run down, the crew member running ahead stopped in front of the emergency exit stairs, raising his hands and not daring to move.
I saw an extra pirate with a gun under the emergency passage behind the ship's bridge.
Facing the Somali pirates armed with AK47s, the unarmed crew members seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment, even if they were outnumbered.
…
The Yangzhou received a distress signal from the Guangdong. Unlike the Antaishan last time, which was hundreds of nautical miles away, the coordinates this time were less than 50 nautical miles away.
The hijacked merchant ship was so close, and it was a Chinese ship.
There is no reason not to save the Yangzhou ship!
So under Captain Zhang's order, the entire ship entered level one combat status again, and the Yanlong team immediately went into full gear and was on standby.
Immediately, the Yangzhou drew a large semicircle on the sea, turned around, and went straight to the direction of the Guangdong with full power.
At the same time, the warship's satellite system was also activated, China's Beidou reconnaissance satellite was called, and the Guangdong was locked from high altitude through coordinates.
In this way, no matter where the Guangdong ship goes, the Yangzhou ship can keep up with it in time.
I don’t know what happened behind the ship. More than an hour later, the Yangzhou arrived at the accident site, and the Guangdong only moved more than 10 nautical miles.
And it has completely changed its course, from the west-to-east return route to going straight to Somalia.
"The pirates want to hijack the ship and bring it back to the coast!"
Commanders such as Captain Zhang, Jackie Chan, and Political Commissar Xie, who were already in the driver's cab of the warship, guessed the pirates' intentions when they saw the ship's course.
Realizing that the Guangdong entered Somalia, the chance of rescue would be lost.
Captain Zhang immediately sounded the warship's alarm. As the wailing alarm sounded throughout the sea and sky, the Yangzhou's speed accelerated again.
When the Yangzhou was less than 2 nautical miles away, Captain Zhang ordered the alarm to be stopped and began to send professionals to speak to the pirates.
"We are the Chinese Navy, please stop the ship immediately."
"This is the Chinese Navy, please stop the ship immediately."
"This is the Chinese Navy, please stop the ship immediately."
The three languages of Mandarin, English, and Somali were shouted separately, and through the super-large speakers on the warship, they were clearly transmitted to the Guangdong in the distance.
The pirates on the ship must have heard the shouting, but they made no move to stop the ship.
Instead, it accelerated even further, pushing the container ship to its limit. The huge chimney emitted billowing black smoke.
The pirates obviously did not intend to give up and were preparing to take the ship back to Somali waters by force with the hostages they controlled.
When pirates go out to "rob", they have obviously read relevant international laws and regulations and know how to deal with "sanctions" from coast guard and warships. (End of chapter)
