When it gradually became dark, they were still surrounded by nothing but the sea. When it was completely dark, Jiang Yan Hai and the others took action immediately, mainly to deploy the Avant-garde-3A Man-Portable Air-Defense Missile system, including the installation of small radars, etc.
In addition, everyone began to set up attack positions. Jiang Yan Hai and He Chen Guang were responsible for sniping, and the others were each responsible for a position.
The entire ship is too large, but they have to stay for 3 hours, which means that the area they have to defend will be very large, so they must be careful whether it is ammunition or other aspects.
The place where they dock is about 12 nautical miles away. In other words, they will be very close to the shore, and this distance happens to be in the high seas.
But pirates don't care about that with you, they don't care where you are.
"Everyone, please rest. We will not be in danger for the time being. I will call everyone when we arrive at the predetermined sea area." The captain's voice appeared in everyone's communication channel.
"Understood!" Everyone responded in the communication channel.
"Chen Guang, let me ask a question, are there really pirates in this place?" Li Er Niu's voice sounded low on the communication channel.
"It's not like you haven't watched the news. Of course there are pirates." He Chen Guang said.
"Okay, shall we fire directly?" Li Er Niu added.
"Have you forgotten the order I just gave you? We now have the right to fire directly, do you understand?" Gong Jian's voice rang.
"Understood, instructor."
At the moment Gong Jian and Jiang Yan Hai are together.
"You said pirates will definitely appear?" Gong Jian did not open the communication channel, but directly asked in a low voice.
"You can tell by the attitude of the captain and others. They will definitely appear, but whether these pirates are real pirates or whether someone made them become pirates is another matter." Jiang Yan Hai whispered.
"Then tell me, if pirates will definitely appear, does that mean..." Gong Jian didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Jiang Yan Hai understood what he meant.
At this moment they are located 12 nautical miles away from the coast, 1 nautical mile equals 1.852 kilometers. The speed of 1 knot is also the speed commonly used by ships.
Although their cargo ship is very large, the weather today is not clear, and there is no moonlight, only occasional starlight, so from this distance from the shore, almost nothing can be seen.
If the pirates are coming from here at this point in time, do we need to say what the result will be?
"It's not from our side. Although we don't know what happened this time, the news is obviously not from our side, but these pirates also know it. It may be transporting something that both parties know." Jiang Yan Hai lowered his voice.
Gong Jian nodded clearly immediately, and then stopped talking, and instead made a gesture like Jiang Yan Hai. It was enough that everyone knew it well, and they were only responsible for safety work.
A few hours later, when the speed of the ship had not begun to slow down, Jiang Yan Hai's night vision scope immediately saw some small boats speeding towards this direction.
Jiang Yan Hai was shocked. Were these people waiting on the sea all this time, or were they just in time? So precise?
"Attention everyone, there is an enemy small boat 3.2 kilometers away. Captain, how far is it to reach the target sea area?" Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath. If they had to fight on the move now, the difficulty would still increase.
Although Jiang Yan Hai himself is not afraid of not being able to hit the enemy if he has the assistance of Coffin Board Skill, for others, this is really difficult. The enemy ships are all speedboats, and their speed is probably at least 30 knots, which is more than fifty kilometers per hour.
And they also have their own speed. Coupled with the waves, the ships are always fluctuating, and the shooting accuracy of others will be greatly affected.
"Right now, we can stop the ship at any time." The captain said loudly.
"Stop the ship according to your plan. Others, please pay attention. The enemy is currently 3 kilometers away." Jiang Yan Hai said loudly.
"Understood!"
The captain has begun to turn the ship sideways, with one side of the entire cargo ship facing the direction of the pirates' source. Jiang Yan Hai is currently on the roof of the ship's main control room, at least twenty or thirty meters above the sea.
The wind speed on the sea was not high today. When I saw at least six small boats appearing within my sight, Jiang Yan Hai immediately changed the bullet to Armor-piercing explosive rounds.
If a bullet explodes within such a small area on the ship, it will at least injure everyone around it at the same time. As for the lives of these pirates, no one considers this.
This was an unconventional battle, and there was no telling how many people's blood these pirates had on their bodies.
But what worries Jiang Yan Hai is that the helicopter they imagined did not find it. If there is no helicopter, the pirates on these small boats are purely targets.
Although these are large bulk carriers, even RPG rockets will do almost no damage to these bulk carriers unless more professional individual missiles are needed.
For example, only professional armor-breaking shells such as anti-tank individual missiles or anti-tank guns are possible.
Fragmentation weapons such as rockets are not lethal to large cargo ships such as bulk carriers, which are not warships but have strong protective capabilities.
Of course, modern warships do not rely on armor to resist. This is not like the battleships of World War II. With luck, they were able to move forward without sinking after dozens of rounds of 406 mm naval guns.
Five or six kilometers away, on a helicopter, Old Man was looking into the distance, "How is it? Boss, should we go there now?" Cockroach next to him asked.
"Let the other two helicopters be ready and let the garbage below take the lead. I don't trust our employer." Old Man looked cold.
"Yes!"
"What if the enemy has strong firepower? Do we just retreat?"
"Of course you can't retreat. If the enemy has strong firepower, we will teach them a lesson. We really can't use heavy firepower, but don't forget, the heavy machine guns and the like in our hands shouldn't be considered heavy firepower, right?" Old Man sneered.
"Understood, but this time the cargo ship is the China merchant ship. The other party has escort warships in this area. If we do this, will we suffer retaliation from them?"
"Don't worry, we won't go to that damn country. On this land, we have the final say. There are many people guilty of our sins, but who are we afraid of now?" Old Man said with a sneer.
"Understood."
"If this mission is solved, I still have a business deal to discuss with the Red Scarf Army. We may have more income by then. It's time to expand our territory and manpower."
"Understood!"
"Attention everyone, if the bugs in front have achieved their basic purpose, we will be ready to enter." Old Man said directly in the communication channel.
"Yes boss."
