Three minutes later, the helicopter left the ship, rose into the sky, and quickly turned towards the sea area where the incident occurred.
Li Zheng was sitting by the cabin door, still wearing sunglasses.
The hunting air blew in from outside the cabin, and even though he was wearing a thick tactical vest, he still felt a chill in his neck.
Due to the emergency, the helicopter accelerated its flight speed.
Half an hour later, Fatty Wei was the first to see the Treasure Island freighter.
"There! 10 o'clock!"
He pointed outside the cabin.
The pilot glanced over and double-checked the ship's name on the side of the ship.
Verification then begins via radio.
Soon, the verification results were correct.
While the pilot was checking the identity of the ship, Hou Jun picked up the observation scope and looked at the sea to conduct a reconnaissance.
Finally, he said to Li Zheng: "Did you see it?"
He pointed to a place about 200 meters behind the big ship.
Li Zheng picked up the sniper rifle and looked through the scope.
He saw two motor boats, slender and slender boats. One boat was about 5 meters long. There were 6 people on each boat. One person controlled the boat to chase, and the other five people were wearing messy clothes, not military uniforms. , shorts and T-shirts. One of them had a red strip of cloth wrapped around his head, making him look like a Rambo.
The most important thing is that he saw the gun in the other person's hand.
Qing Yishui's AK series, I can't see the specific model.
One of them was carrying a machine gun, which roughly looked like a PK machine gun.
Hou Jun was not idle. He took out the camera from his bag, adjusted the focus and magnification, and pointed at the two small boats on the sea and the armed personnel on the boats.
This is the forensic examination procedure, and this step is very important.
Judging from the current scene, the distance between the big ship and the small boat is getting smaller and smaller.
Looking down from the helicopter, three white ripples were drawn on the blue sea, showing that all three ships were operating at full capacity.
The big boat in front is like a big buffalo on the African savannah, with a huge body but not much fighting power. The two small boats in the back are like two hungry green-eyed leopards, biting the big boat to eat it. Satisfied only after eating.
The boats below also seemed to notice the helicopter in the sky.
Li Zheng suddenly had an ominous premonition. He raised his gun again and used the scope to observe the opponent.
Suddenly, he saw an armed pirate raising the AK in his hand, and the gun seemed to be pointed at the helicopter.
"They're targeting us, watch out!"
When Li Zheng reminded him, the driver in front reacted immediately.
I saw him pushing the joystick lightly and shouting: "Everyone is seated."
The helicopter tilted sideways, performed a corner maneuver, fell instead of rising, and flew towards the bow of the cargo ship.
"Contact the merchant ships and tell them to prepare the rappel site!"
The main pilot ordered the first officer to dock with the merchant ship while he continued to maneuver.
At this time, Li Zheng heard gunshots.
Bah bah bah——
Everyone's heart trembled slightly.
Although I knew that this kind of shooting poses no threat to helicopters hundreds of meters above the ground, I still felt a little bit in my heart.
Fatty Wei cursed: "They really dare to shoot!"
The first officer quickly made contact with the captain of the large ship.
The captain told the first officer that they could rappel on a pile of containers in front of their bridge. The terrain there was flat. Because it was fully loaded, it was difficult to find a rappel position elsewhere on the ship.
The first officer turned around and asked Wang Haiyang, the commander in charge of the rappelling team: "On the container in front of the bridge of their ship, can you take a look there?!"
Wang Haiyang stretched out his head to look, then raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "No problem!"
The co-pilot made a downward gesture to the main driver.
The helicopter turned and flew over the container.
The pilot is very experienced. When he flies, he first flies to the bow of the ship, then flies back from the bow to fly above the container.
Because of the obstruction of the big ship, the two pirate boats following behind could not see the helicopter, thus avoiding being shot while hovering while rappelling.
You know, a helicopter rappel is most vulnerable when it's hovering.
"Move quickly!"
Seeing that the altitude was almost the same, the co-pilot turned around and shouted to the members of the rappelling team.
Li Zheng had already set up his sniper rifle from the hatch on the other side and was observing the sea. As long as the pirate boat appeared and threatened the safety of the team members, he could only use force to stop it.
According to previous training, generally speaking, the PLA Navy mostly uses non-lethal methods to deal with pirates.
Of course, this does not mean that lethal means will not be used, but there is a process of escalating force.
The process was complicated, similar to the force escalation procedure Li had undergone in the peacekeeping force.
Most of the time, non-lethal attack methods such as blank bombs, shock bombs, flash bombs, rubber bullets, etc. are used to deter pirates.
Generally speaking, as long as pirates see military escort, they will give up.
This time the two small boats did not give up. When they saw the military helicopter approaching, they actually dared to shoot at the helicopter. The reason is not difficult to understand.
When I saw the fat on my hand, I was almost ready to eat it.
There was a cut-off man halfway along the way, and of course he was unwilling to do so.
Moreover, the pirate boat was less than 200 meters away from the big ship at this time. If we work harder, we can catch up with it in twenty minutes and board the ship in less than an hour.
The leading pirate probably knew what he was doing. He knew that the arrival of the helicopter would definitely mean that the warship would not be able to get through for the time being. As long as the warship did not come, they would have hope of boarding the ship desperately. They boarded the ship, hijacked the crew, and used the crew's lives as a threat. He must avoid three points in any navy.
If this wishful thinking is done well, in the final analysis it is all about fighting for time.
Let’s see who’s faster!
When the pirate leader saw the helicopter disappearing in the direction of the bow of the ship, his brows suddenly furrowed. After a moment, he turned around and shouted frantically at the boat operator: "They are about to board the ship! We need to speed up a little!" "
The two small boats immediately increased their horsepower to the maximum, and the throttles were tightened to the point where they were almost disconnected. The engines screamed and smoked, as if they were about to explode at the next moment.
After all, there is no comparison with professional special operations team members. Wang Haiyang's team is still one step faster than the pirates.
When they were still 5 meters away from the container, the mechanic threw out the rope, and the four Jiaolong team members quickly slid along the rope to the top of the container.
Fatty Wei was the first to land. After taking off the buckle, he quickly occupied a corner of the container and began to monitor the sea surface.
The crew members on the ship had already brought ladders and set them up next to the container. When the captain saw the fully armed team members in black anti-terrorism tactics uniforms, he seemed to be seeing angels and smiled so hard that his eyes were blinded.
The five-star red flag on the team member's arm looks so bright at this time, it really shouldn't be too beautiful.
He suddenly remembered something, took out a palm-sized five-star red flag from his pocket, waved it at the team members, and shouted in Mandarin with a strong southern Fujian accent: "One of our own! One of our own!"
Please vote for me, please vote for me!
The third update!
In the past few days, I have been suffering from yang and fever.
