Li Zheng skillfully mounted the high-precision sniper on the X-fixing belt and aimed it at the two small boats on the sea.
After a rough sighting, he felt that he was 100% sure that he could hit anyone on the boat.
"They are all armed men. These two boats are relatively large...I saw at least fourteen of them."
After Li Zheng finished speaking, Hou Jun replied: "It's not 14, it's 16. Someone is lying on the bow of the boat."
After saying that, he put down the reconnaissance device and started to contact the command center.
"The sniper team called the command center. I have arrived above the Galaxy and found two pirate boats with a total of 16 armed personnel. Please ask for instructions whether to use force to drive them away?"
Soon, the leader of the command team on duty responded.
"Follow the eviction procedures and escalate step by step."
"clear!"
After Hou Jun finished speaking, he smiled bitterly at Li Zheng and said, "I'm afraid it won't be your turn to take action this time."
As he spoke, he picked up the flare gun and loaded it.
"Requesting to fly low, prepare to launch flares to drive away."
After preparations were completed, he made a request to the crew.
Flare dispersal is a common method used to drive away pirates at night.
In fact, it is not that the flares are incapable of lethality, but they are only available at a very close distance.
From a distance it’s basically just watching fireworks.
This lowest intensity eviction method is nothing more than telling the pirates on the sea that the regular army is coming! Don't cause trouble!
In fact, for the crew members, they really dislike this method of eviction.
First, when releasing a signal flare, you need to lower the altitude, because the range of the signal flare is limited and it must hit the opponent's boat.
Although it does not need to be hit near the top of the head like a flash bomb, it must be hit at least ten or twenty meters in height to completely illuminate the opponent's boat.
For pirates who hijack ships, exposure to strong light will have at least some psychological impact, making them wary.
But this method of eviction has a disadvantage. The helicopter lowers its altitude. If you encounter a vicious pirate, he will point his gun at you.
Just a rifle.
If there are several large-caliber shots, the risk is not without.
Now that the No. 2 ship is no longer nearby, regardless of whether the bullet can penetrate the armor of the Haizhi 9C, even if it damages the propeller or tail rotor, it will be fatal to the aircraft.
In the vast sea, it is difficult to find a place to make an emergency landing, so we can only go into the sea to feed the fish.
But orders are orders, and soldiers have no room for bargaining.
The helicopter hovered and descended, trying to get behind the small boat. It would not be easy for the people on board the pirate boat to launch an attack at full speed.
Bang——
Hou Jun saw the opportunity and fired a signal flare.
The red flare turned the night sky red.
The flare swayed toward the boat.
The signal flare Hou Jun fired was very particular. After all, the boat was sailing at high speed and it was necessary to estimate the route direction and landing point.
The signal flare flew almost in the direction of the two pirate boats, illuminating them brightly.
In the red light, the armed personnel on the two pirate boats were covered in a layer of red, which looked quite strange.
Li Zheng saw through the scope that the people on the boat were obviously panicked by the signal flares fired from the air. They knew that this time they were being targeted by the escorting navy of a certain country.
The flare soon fell into the sea and everything returned to darkness.
Hou Jun fired another flare at them.
You can’t stop taking the medicine!
As a result, this time...
Just as the flare flew over the head of the boat, the crisp sound of gunfire was heard.
Haizhi 9C quickly pulled up to disengage.
Li Zheng saw the shooter in the scope, but he still remained calm and did not put his hand into the trigger guard.
To shoot, there must be an order.
"Fuck, they actually dare to fight back!"
Hou Jun was a little aggrieved. As he spoke, he put away the flare gun, and then began to contact the command center, reporting the situation of the other party's armed attack and asking for instructions on what to do next.
"Use flash bombs to drive away."
The answer they were waiting for was low-intensity eviction.
Hou Jun had no choice but to do this work.
As the observer in the team, his weapon is an automatic rifle with a grenade launcher hanging on it, which can fire explosive rounds.
"NND!"
While cursing, Hou Jun stuffed a detonation bomb into the grenade launcher, then opened the safety and pointed it at the sea.
After taking a look, he said to the pilot: "Can you get closer? The distance is too far."
The pilot began to lose altitude.
As soon as I lowered it, I heard gunfire again, so I had no choice but to pull it back up.
"No, it's dangerous, I can't take the risk."
Pilots really don't take risks.
If the formation ships are nearby, the risk is okay, and even if something happens, they can fly back and make an emergency landing.
But now we are far away from the mothership, and if anything happens, just a few people will take care of it themselves.
Hou Jun had no choice but to mount the automatic rifle on the X-fixing belt, aim at the boat and fire a blast bomb.
Bang——
A bright ball of light bloomed over the boat.
"Too high!"
Hou Jun sighed.
Then another one was added.
Bang——
The second one came out quickly.
As a result, the explosion point was still on the high side.
The two pirate boats became even more arrogant when they saw that each other seemed helpless.
They increased their power and continued to approach the Galaxy.
After all, the Galaxy is a large bulk cargo ship. Although its speed is good, it can't be faster than a high-horsepower motor boat.
The pilot began to turn on the radio and play the evacuation phrases that had been recorded in several languages.
"We are the XX Navy. You have threatened the safety of merchant ships. Leave immediately, otherwise we will take forced eviction measures..."
There seems to be no effect.
Li Zheng even saw someone in the scope raising his middle finger to the sky.
"grass!"
Hou Jun suddenly cursed.
"That's too arrogant!"
Li Zheng asked him: "What's wrong?"
Hou Jun handed the reconnaissance instrument to Li Zheng: "Look at the pirate ship at the end..."
The reconnaissance instrument's magnification and ability are very good, and it can clearly see the scenery in the dark night.
Li Zheng took it and took a look, and immediately understood why Hou Jun was scolding his mother.
A pirate on the boat behind actually stood up, took off his pants and peed into the sea...
This is obviously a demonstration against his own crew, and he doesn't take the navy seriously at all.
I have seen crazy people, but I have never seen such crazy people.
Of course, Li Zheng and the others did not know that the organization to which these two boats belonged was owned by a well-known pirate organization in Somalia.
The people above are their members. These are different from ordinary part-time pirates. They are professionals.
The professional ones are naturally outlaws and will be much more courageous.
It's not surprising that he would do such a crazy thing.
No matter how good-tempered Li Zheng is, he will inevitably get angry at this time.
After all, it’s an upright navy, and it’s also a formation of a major country, peeing on a military helicopter?
I have been escorting for a while, and this is the first time I have seen such a crazy guy.
Li Zheng finally saw it.
"Come any closer and I'll shoot them two more times!"
Hou Jun couldn't hold back his emotions.
"I'll shoot him next to the thing he peed on!"
The pilot thought for a while and decided to take a chance.
He circled the helicopter, lowered its altitude, and approached the boat from behind.
Unexpectedly, before Hou Jun took action, the other party would take action first.
Da da da--
The sound of the PK machine gun is easy to recognize.
Made in the Soviet Union, the ammunition caliber and gunfire have their own characteristics.
A string of sparks flew out from under the belly of the Haizhi 9C aircraft.
The pilot pulled up in an emergency.
Bang——
Hou Jun was taking aim, and the moment he pulled it up, he subconsciously pressed the trigger.
The result was biased.
"Fuck! Off again!"
he is very angry.
As an old sniper, he felt frustrated when several consecutive shots failed to achieve the desired effect.
Seeing the helicopter flying away, the pirates became even more crazy.
They even turned on the portable speakers on the boat and played exciting dance music.
"We can't delay it any longer." Li Zheng said: "They will be close to the Xinghe in a few dozen meters. Once they get close, it will be a lot of trouble to stop them."
Hou Jun immediately contacted the command center.
After reporting on the complicated situation here, he made a request: "...request permission to use absolute force to evict."
The so-called absolute force is live ammunition.
There was a brief silence at the command center.
Finally, the command team leader gave a reply: "Yes, if the other party poses a threat to the merchant ship and cannot be driven away through low-intensity means, you have the right to use absolute force."
Saying this is equivalent to agreeing to open fire.
"Fuck him!" Hou Jun was excited and waved to Li Zheng: "Let them know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
Asking for a monthly ticket!
