"These guys are different. If you call for surrender, they may not let you go. You'd better give up!"
The veteran whom Shepard calls an old guy is named Promli. In his own words, he is a veteran who has been heartbroken. Shepard has no objection to this. After all, a veteran who can work hard and serve in the army for thirty years
There are not many old guys anywhere!
"Then we will rely on this to fight the opponent. There are cannons over there! Our rocket launcher only has two shots. Even if you can hit them from a thousand meters away, they can beat you into a sieve from three thousand meters away!"
Shepard said a little glumly.
"Who said we were going to fight?"
Lao Pu picked up the rocket launcher and made some gestures.
"This thing just sounds. We are only ten kilometers away from the navy's blockade. As long as we can delay it until then, it will be considered a victory. No fool would do this to fight a gunboat!"
Shepard's gaffe was not unexpected. It was common for new recruits to lose control of themselves on the battlefield. Not only did Shepard not lose control of his position, but he was even able to give orders. He was already among the top. If the boss he met could
If he was half as good as the other person, I wouldn't be able to turn him into a woman.
"Then can we make it in time?"
Shepard also calmed down slightly after hearing this.
"Then you have to gamble!"
Lao Pu picked up the telescope and handed it to Shepard.
At this moment, the Black Fish was already running its engines at full speed, because the things in the cargo hold had been unloaded and were empty, so it quickly reached the top speed. The propellers rotated rapidly, splitting the waves, and then turned into large pieces of white foam from the propellers.
The piece was shot out, and then disappeared under the impact of the waves.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides has shortened from about eight kilometers at the beginning to six kilometers. Although the opponent's gunboat is already a very old model, it is still much faster than the freighter.
At this moment, there is still no response from the radio, only the other party's continuous calls on the public channel.
As the two ships continued to get closer, the call from the other side changed from a request to stop the ship to a threat of force, and even the 37th gun was loaded with blank ammunition and fired a round of shock shots.
The ear-piercing sound of gunfire came from behind, immediately making everyone on the ship look embarrassed. Shepard was even prepared to run away. There were three small boats on the ship. While the other party's attention was attracted by the freighter, he could sneak away
of Kairun.
As for fighting to the death, Shepard didn't even think about it. He was here to pay gold, not to die!
Plomri naturally thought of this. As the backbone of the company, he naturally knew what choice to make at this moment.
"Hey, don't panic, it's not the last moment yet, follow me later!"
Lao Pu comforted Shepard in a low voice.
"good!"
Shepard nodded. He had no other choice at this moment. Old Smith asked him to listen to Plumlee's opinion when encountering problems before, but now, he can only use it as a life-saving straw!
After a round of deterrence bombardment, the gunboat found that the freighter still showed no sign of slowing down. It immediately changed the ammunition and started warning fire again. The replaced live ammunition flew out of the gun barrel under the pressure of the burning chamber, and then fell into the sea on both sides of the freighter.
, splashing into waves, and the whistling sound of armor-piercing warheads in the air also irritated people's eardrums. Shepard could even see light spots flying from a distance with his naked eyes, and then whizzing down beside the ship.
"How far away!"
"The last three kilometers!"
The captain who was in the bridge said helplessly.
"Stop the boat, we can't run away!"
Plomri was also helpless. The last three kilometers seemed very close, but the Yala gunboat was even closer. The three kilometers distance would take the Black Fish at least fifteen minutes, while the gunboat only needed five minutes.
Tearing apart the Blackfish's armor.
"When the gun fires, be ready to get on the boat!"
"good!"
Shepard nodded and immediately agreed.
"I promise to take good care of the brothers' families!"
Shepard immediately came to the second deck on the port side of the freighter. The lifeboat was here. However, the soldiers on the gunboat were obviously very experienced in sea arrests. Before they got close, two small boats were lowered and surrounded the port side of the ship.
came, and the gunboat leaned directly to the starboard side, the black guns were all pointed at the freighter, and the soldiers stood ready, ready to open fire if the situation went wrong.
At this time, Shepard could only retreat to the top deck, and Plumlee also smiled bitterly.
"No need to run!"
"yes!"
Shepard nodded. At this moment, the gunboat had come closer and was very close to the freighter. The two small boats that had been lowered before were still driving around the freighter. The soldiers on the gunboat were ordering the sailors to release the rope ladder and they wanted to board the ship.
examine.
"Give it a try!"
After thinking about it, Shepard suddenly said.
"Based on our nationality, we are definitely not good enough. Now, if we don't give it a try, we won't have a chance!"
"indeed!"
Plumlee thought of Vietnam, where he knew very well how the warring parties treated prisoners, and immediately nodded and agreed with Shepard.
As for the others, after Plomri nodded, these guys who had more or less served in the military immediately chose to obey.
Immediately, Plomri began to direct everyone to deploy.
The machine gunners all dispersed, preparing to suppress the gunboat, while the other riflemen were ambushing the rope ladder. When the inspecting soldiers came up, they left to launch an attack. The two anti-tank rocket launchers were ready to destroy the gunboat one after the other.
The two 37mm rapid-fire guns are the greatest threat to freighters.
"You, you follow me, don't run around!"
At this moment, Plomri seemed to have turned into the old sergeant who was shuttled among the hail of bullets. His orders were firm and clear, and his tone was urgent and clear. Everyone on the ship quickly got into position, even Shepard
They also put on an old bulletproof jacket, holding their own carbines and followed closely behind the former.
Several Yala soldiers wearing green uniforms and American-style helmets climbed up the rope ladder carrying old M1 rifles. These weapons and uniforms were American aid obtained by the previous government, even the gunboat, but now,
They were used against Americans.
When several Yala soldiers climbed onto the ship, they discovered that there were not trembling crew members on the deck, but more than a dozen black gun muzzles.
A soldier immediately shouted to warn friendly forces, and then several people were shot down randomly.
The soldiers on the ship were about to fire immediately after hearing the warning, but before the gunner could step on the pedal, the shooter who was already waiting on the deck raised his M72 rocket launcher.
"Clear the rear!"
After confirming that there was no one of his own in the area behind him, the shooter immediately pressed the activation button on the top of the launcher, and immediately, a ball of flame spurted out from the front section of the launch tube.
