The butcher's back shook, and the Murata rifle hanging behind him moved to the left in the direction of the force.

Then he grabbed the muzzle of the gun with his left hand, pulled the bolt with his right hand at the same time, held the handguard with his left hand, and his right hand was already on the trigger. His shoulder was against the butt of the gun at the same time, his legs were half-bent, and his body was close to the guard. A standard shot.

The posture is completed in one go.

"Bang...bang..."

The whole process sounds complicated, but in the hands of a veteran warrior like Butcher, within two seconds, the bullets were already flying towards the water bandits on the speedboat.

Aiming hastily does not seek to kill the enemy, but only disrupts their rhythm.

Sure enough, after the gunfire rang out, the water bandits who were operating were also afraid of death. They immediately huddled up and shouted without hesitation, and the speedboat also hurriedly turned.

The bullets hit the area around the speedboat and did not kill the water bandits, but they were frightened and did not dare to get closer to operate the grenade.

In fact, the team members followed the same tactics and temporarily repelled this group of water bandits who attempted to throw bombs.

The butcher took the opportunity to quickly fill the magazine with bullets until it was full, and then started firing at the speedboat that turned around to continue the attack.

Compared to the previous rush, he was much calmer this time.

The first bullet hit the speedboat, and the next bullet directly hit the helmsman of the speedboat like a death-seeking ghost.

"Bang…"

The helmsman of the speedboat was shot and fell powerless on the deck. He was lying on the tiller. The speedboat suddenly lost control and spun like crazy on the lake. If not careful, it would capsize.

A nearby water bandit immediately stretched out his hand and stabilized the tiller, and the other water bandits worked together to throw the body into the sea.

The speedboat regained control, and the gangsters gritted their teeth and raised their guns one after another, shooting at the freighter.

As for the location of the butcher, they haven't found it yet, but the specific location is not important to the water bandits, as long as they shoot him.

The butcher who was squatting next to the guardrail of the freighter kept moving. He squinted his eyes, used the light on the freighter to lock onto the opposite position, and started firing one shot at a time.

"Bang…"

"Bang...bang..."

After about three shots, another water bandit fell down. In the end, there were only two water bandits left on the speedboat. They controlled the speedboat in fear and fled desperately into the night.

"Sir, Captain, you are here!"

The two team members ran over from elsewhere with weapons in hand, looking a little flustered. Each of them had a few bloody wounds on their bodies, probably from bullet wounds, but they managed not to scream.

"How is the situation over there?"

"Sir, the left side of the deck was attacked by water bandits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Boom...boom..." two explosions were heard in succession, causing the freighter to shake slightly.

Obviously, the explosion came from the left side, and it should be the sound after the grenade exploded.

"You two are responsible for watching over here. If something happens, call for help immediately. I'll go take a look on the left!"

After saying that, the butcher quickly filled the magazine and ran towards the left side of the middle of the boat.

The freighter with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons is defended by fifteen people. Five people were injured just now, three of whom were seriously injured and disabled. Now there are only twelve people guarding it. It is attacked on all sides and there is a serious shortage of manpower.

At this time, the water bandits had been divided into two parts. The three large fishing boats were at three points on the left, right and rear. They used machine rifles to shoot at the convoy from a distance. They hid in places where the lights of the ships could not illuminate and fired black guns to cover the bandits.

They board the boat.

Except for the flames caused by gunfire, no one could be seen on the lake.

The other group drove speedboats and tried their best to cross the Maxim machine gun blockade and get close to the hull, because that was the blind spot for the convoy and they could look for opportunities to board the ship.

The water bandits approaching the hull of the ship sneaked up to the weakly defended bow, and using the anchor and hook on the bow to grab the rope, they were quickly crawling up to prepare to board the ship.

Although this group of water bandits were not accurate with their guns, they were specialized in their craft and their ability to climb boats was absolutely top-notch.

On a speedboat, you can use a few ropes to tie the anchor, and then crawl upward quickly.

Moreover, when the water bandits climbed up, they kept a standard posture on a rope, ignoring the lake wind and height, and climbed up like a flexible monkey.

In the dark night, if there is no light, you will not be able to find anyone actually climbing here to attack.

They are very fast and almost synchronized with the attack.

The water bandits at the stern have not opened up the situation yet, but they have successfully attracted the attention of the entire escort team, while the bandits climbing ropes at the bow have successfully boarded the ship, carrying a long rope ladder on their backs, and threw it directly after fixing it.

.

The captain and first mates in the cockpit of the ship, after the ship was forced to stop, felt that there was no point in staying here and that the risks were high, so they collectively hid in the boiler room in the middle bottom tank of the ship.

Therefore, the water bandits climbed up from the bow of the ship without being discovered.

With the rope ladder, it became much easier for the water bandits to climb, and two more water bandits climbed up.

This time, the water bandits who came up immediately started to stand guard on the left and right, waiting for more people to get on the boat before moving forward.

At this time, the butcher arrived at the left side of the middle of the ship and saw that the two grenades were not very powerful. They both hit the coal, blasting out two craters and causing the coal to scatter. There was no damage to the hull.

The attack of the water bandits on the left side was temporarily repelled, but the butcher was still very worried. He thought that if the siege continued, his side would be isolated and helpless, and the number of soldiers would only decrease as the battle continued. However, the water bandits were just the opposite, and reinforcements would

Continuously.

The Butcher was prepared for the worst. He walked to the cockpit of the ship to prepare for a showdown with the captain and asked the crew to take up weapons to defend themselves.

As long as the crew members have more or less training in shooting, fighting, etc., although there are no standard rifles on the ship, there are shotguns, firecrackers, broadswords and other weapons.

Although it would be very damaging to the reputation of the Fengzhong Mining Convoy to show this kind of cards with the captain, first mate and others. The first time we escorted, we were besieged by water bandits like this. Not to mention five barges were robbed. Now I am afraid that even

Even the main ship could not defend itself.

Just now, who solemnly said that there is a convoy here, so you don’t have to worry about that kind of nonsense!

But now, does face matter as much as life?

As a last resort, more than a dozen crew members stood up to defend themselves. They were a potential fighting force, and most of them were former soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

He walked close to the bow of the ship while thinking, and found that the cockpit was dark and empty, but he could faintly hear some strange sounds, blowing in the lake breeze from the bow of the ship.

It's not the accent of Jiangsu and Zhejiang or the accent of Anhui, but the accent of Hunan and Jiangxi.

It’s broken, the water bandits are climbing up!

This was the first reaction in the butcher's mind. He did not expect that the water bandits were so fast, and they climbed up from the bow of the ship, which is considered the most difficult place to climb.
Chapter completed!
