The Yangzhou's shouting had no effect. The Guangdong, under the control of the pirate gang, headed towards Somali territorial waters at a faster speed.
The Guangdong has a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons. The Yangzhou frigate is as visible to a kindergarten child as it is to a college student.
If the pirates don't stop the Guangdong ship, they can't intercept the Yangzhou ship.
There is only one way to stop it, and that is to send special forces to kill the pirates just like the Antaishan freighter operation.
In order to ensure the success rate of the operation, Captain Zhang sent a helicopter to conduct close-range reconnaissance first.
Under the observation of the helicopter circling the Guangdong, it was confirmed that the pirates had completely controlled the Guangdong.
And a large number of hostages gathered in the cab.
The crew members stood in front of the windows with their hands tied, and lined up to block all the windows. They looked particularly eye-catching.
At this glance, it was clear that it was done deliberately by the pirates.
With this group of human shields blocking the front, in order to shoot the pirates in the wheelhouse from outside, the bullets would have to pass through the crew blocking the front row.
For the rescuers outside, the difficulty of shooting has increased dozens of times.
You must know that the Guangdong has been driving, and the helicopter is also in an unstable state in the air. The slightest mistake will cause the death of the hostages.
Without a certain level of calmness and personal judgment, it is impossible to hit the pirates.
This plan is endless!
In addition to the large number of crew members gathered in the wheelhouse, there were also three pirates hiding behind and monitoring with guns, threatening the captain to personally take charge of steering the ship.
In other areas of the deck of the Guangdong, no pirates could be seen at all.
No other crew members were seen.
Based on this information, Captain Zhang summoned the captain and deputy captain of the Yanlong Team to the command center for an emergency meeting.
Chief of Staff Li Aiguo first explained the collected information to everyone present.
When Jackie Chan heard the familiar name of the ship that was involved in the accident, his eyebrows jumped a few times, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Then I heard that the pirates were using the crew as human shields. I had already had an idea before setting off, and four big words immediately popped up in my mind -
Operation Red Sea!
As early as when he first heard about "Langya Special Forces", Jackie Chan had already made a bold guess that this was a world where movies and TV series were integrated.
Therefore, after receiving the order to inspect Somalia, Jackie Chan thought about whether it would be "Operation Red Sea".
But the first operation was the Antai Mountain, and it was not the plot of the movie Operation Red Sea, which led Jackie Chan to think that his guess was wrong.
As a result, I didn't expect to receive a distress call again, and the first information at the beginning was so familiar.
In Jackie Chan's memory from his previous life, although Operation Red Sea is about the evacuation of overseas Chinese, the first plot at the beginning is about anti-piracy at sea.
The biggest feature of this anti-piracy rescue plot at sea is that the pirates are very smart.
Use the crew to completely block the window in front of the cab, leaving little room for shooting to prevent sniping.
So the Yangzhou's staff released information about the pirates using the crew as human shields.
Jackie Chan immediately felt strong in his heart!
It feels right to my stomach!
In order to verify his conjecture, Jackie Chan asked the chief of staff who released the intelligence: "I have studied psychology. Faces determine a person's personality, and personality determines a person's behavior.
Therefore, Comrade Chief of Staff, I would like to ask about the facial features of the pirates in the cockpit. This will help me make a judgment and formulate the most appropriate action plan. "
Jackie Chan, who has the eyes of God, cannot foolishly output the specific characteristics of pirates directly.
Even before meeting a pirate, I already know what a pirate looks like.
This will feel weird!
"Captain Cheng is really knowledgeable and talented."
Chief of Staff Li Aiguo praised Zan Long, and then said at Jackie Chan's request: "Because the distance was too far and the windows were blocked, it was impossible to identify the faces of the three pirates in the cockpit in detail.
However, one of the pirates is easier to identify because he is a one-eyed dragon with a black eyepatch on his right eye and a hemp-colored turban on his head. "
"Okay, that's enough."
Jackie Chan deliberately asked in a roundabout way for a long time, what he wanted was the certification of this one-eyed dragon.
Because in the first plot of Operation Red Sea, the leading Somali pirate is a one-eyed dragon, and he also wears a black eyepatch on his right eye.
With the previous information and this one-eyed dragon, Jackie Chan is at least 99% not to mention 100%.
This is the plot of Operation Red Sea!
Thinking that he knew the plot of Operation Red Sea very well, and now that he had entered the actual combat plot, Jackie Chan felt particularly confident.
It's like turning on a cheating device and having unbridled fun in the game.
"The information currently available is very limited. It is known that three pirates have controlled more than fifteen crew members in the cab. How to rescue them safely is the biggest problem. Do you have any ideas?"
Captain Zhang's brows were squeezed into the character "Sichuan", and the thing he feared most appeared.
A pirate who has not boarded the ship is not even a tofu in front of a warship, let alone a threat. He can be easily crushed into dregs.
Pirates who get on the ship but fail to capture the crew can barely be regarded as the troublemakers in the latrine.
It's not very hard, but it's smelly enough that it's easy to get feces on your hands if you're not careful.
The pirates who boarded the ship and took control of all the crew were officially upgraded to real enemies, which were very difficult to deal with.
Not only is it difficult to kill pirates, but something will happen to the hostages if you neglect them.
If any hostage dies during the rescue process, even if all the pirates die, it will be a failed rescue. For the Yangzhou ship on trial voyage, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster that can destroy all previous achievements.
And those present here are either the person in charge, Captain Zhang, or the special forces members of the Yanlong Team.
Although each has outstanding actual combat record, they are not operating on a 10,000-ton ship. Now the environment and venue are different, and no one is sure.
Therefore, in the face of Captain Zhang's questions, no one stood up to answer for a long time.
"It's too early to take action now. I think there must be more than just these pirates. It is almost impossible for three pirates to attack the 10,000-ton ship Guangdong. Where are the remaining pirates? What we need to do is Things to pay attention to.”
Jackie Chan's words were like a stone falling into the water, causing thousands of waves and splashes to explode immediately.
yes!
Where did the rest of the pirates go?
Everyone present was attracted by Jackie Chan's words and turned their attention to the remaining pirates, and a heated discussion began.
After nearly a minute of discussion, it can be said that the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.
In the end, I still turned on the God's perspective, but Jackie Chan, who acted like an Oscar winner, used some reasonable reasoning to break through the siege and gain recognition.
Jackie Chan "guessed" that the pirates must have divided into two groups, and the remaining pirates should have gone to the cabin.
The only place in the cabin that pirates should pay attention to is the working cabin that controls the progress of the Guangdong. Specifically, it is the engine room where the power is located.
The pirates need to guard the engine room to prevent damage before they can drive the ship back to Somali territorial waters.
Jackie Chan's analysis was very logical, and he had enough authority within the team, so his inference was recognized by everyone.
In fact, the pirates were indeed divided into two gangs, and Jackie Chan knew it very clearly with God's Eye.
"If the pirates are divided into two groups, then if you want to intercept the Guangdong before it enters the country, you must attack both groups of pirates at the same time, and you must maintain consistency in your actions, otherwise the hostages may be in danger."
Captain Zhang's frown was still very tight, and he looked at Jackie Chan and asked: "Captain Cheng, the situation of this operation is complicated and the task is arduous. Can you complete the task? Or do you need other preparations?"
"Counter-terrorism and elimination of violence are our main job. Whether it is land or sea, it is the same in my eyes. I am confident that we can complete the task."
Jackie Chan was so confident that he gave a positive answer, and then took the initiative to say: "There is not much time left for us, so let's take action without further delay. I already have an action plan, and we will talk about it as the action unfolds.
Captain Zhang, please arrange the two speedboats and prepare for the battle. Leave the rest to us. "
Jackie Chan is like a calming needle, affecting everyone present from his temperament to his language.
The originally tense and depressing atmosphere was replaced by Jackie Chan's confident remarks. He believed that the Yanlong team could turn the tide.
"No problem, we'll arrange it."
The happiest thing about someone standing up to solve the problem is Captain Zhang, the person in charge of this expedition, who immediately made arrangements as promised.
Although frigates do not have as many functions as support ships, they are more than enough to support a special operations team.
Two minutes later.
The Yanlong team completed its assembly on the starboard side. Jackie Chan used his sharp knife to cut through the mess with high efficiency, dividing the eight-man team into two action groups.
Jackie Chan took commando Xu Sanduo, machine gunner Wu Liuyi and military doctor Shi Dafan as the main attacking group.
Vice-captain Wu Zhe led assaulters Zhuang Yan, Zheng Sanpao and sniper Chengcai as the second group of secondary attackers.
The Yangzhou command center sent another helicopter to provide visual observation in the air and closely lock in all pirate movements that could be observed.
The two action teams each took a speedboat and approached the Guangzhou from the left and right directions.
The helicopter always provides a high-altitude view, so that the Yanlong team can avoid the location of the pirates and board the ship quietly from a corner where the pirates cannot see.
The hull of the Guangzhou is more than 300 meters long, and it is nearly 700 meters in one lap.
Unless there are dozens of pirates controlling the Canton, it is simply impossible to hold all the areas, even if they know someone is boarding the ship.
Perhaps the pirates were aware of this problem and it was simply unrealistic to hold the entire ship.
Or maybe the pirates were worried that if they went out to attack the rescue team, they would be killed by helicopters in the sky without the hostages to act as shields.
Therefore, the three pirates who have been discovered so far have not made any moves from beginning to end.
Just stay in the cab.
The front glass was completely blocked with hostages, and the hatches on the left and right sides were tightly closed and locked. The main strategy was a retreat tactic.
Just like a turtle in danger, it can protect itself by retracting its entire body.
As long as the time is delayed long enough for the Guangzhou to enter Somali waters, the pirates can successfully hijack it and a lot of money will enter their pockets.
The cost of building a super-large ocean-going container ship like the Guangdong is in the hundreds of millions.
Including the loaded goods, the amount will be doubled several times.
Not to mention that there are so many hostages on the ship. They cannot be measured in terms of money, and the impact they have is even greater than that of a container ship.
Letting dozens of Chinese people go without rescue would have a very bad social impact.
As long as the Guangdong can be hijacked successfully, even if the pirates ask for two to three million US dollars, the company to which the Guangdong belongs will have no choice but to pay the money.
The pirates huddled up and didn't dare to come forward, which saved the Yanlong team a lot of trouble.
There is no need to use the forcible boarding plan prepared in advance.
Yanlong Group 1 and Yanlong Group 2 approached the Guangzhou, and the naval soldiers of the Yangzhou were responsible for driving the ship. The special operations team members easily climbed onto the Guangzhou one after another.
The deck of the container bed is low from the water, making it easy for pirates to climb up, and even easier for special forces members.
"Group two, follow the plan. Group one, follow me to the bridge."
Jackie Chan had already arranged the action plan on the speedboat that came over. After boarding the boat, he gave a brief order and immediately led the team straight to the bridge at the stern.
"The Yanlong Second Team received it and started heading to the work cabin."
Wu Zhe replied to Jackie Chan on the radio, and also waved and led the Yanlong Group 2 towards the cabin.
The two groups, one on the left and the other on the right, started in the same direction, starting from the waist of the ship and heading towards the stern.
After walking about two-thirds of the way, the second group entered the cabin through the side hatch.
The target is a pirate who may be in the work bay!
There is a ship type diagram provided by the company where the Guangdong is located. Although Wu Zhe is boarding this ship for the first time, he has memorized the structure of the ship.
Quick memory is a basic skill of special operations, and every special operations team member must be able to do it.
Led by Jackie Chan, the Jiaolong group continued to advance towards the bridge.
The journey was very smooth, and no pirates came out to cause trouble. It was like walking on an unmanned ship, moving very fast.
The movement speed of the standard advancing formation is almost as fast as half-running speed.
In less than two minutes, Yanlong's group came from the waist of the boat to the stern.
From a distance, the ship's bridge doesn't look very high, but when you look closer, you realize that this five-story ship's bridge is actually taller than a five-story house.
The driver's cab is at the top of the bridge, and only a Z-shaped iron ladder can go up.
If there are pirates guarding it, it will be very difficult to fight all the way up from the bottom, and it will take a while to complete.
Fortunately, the pirates' strategy was very conservative, allowing the Yanlong team to advance forward.
However, in order not to alert the pirates on the car and let them know that the commando team was nearby, Jackie Chan gave a silent command before getting up.
The whole group adopts static steps, slowing down and moving upward slowly.
Not for speed, just for concealment.
