Chapter 1014 Watertight
Upon hearing the news, Zeng Wangcai did not stop, but instead made the speedboat go faster and reach the maximum speed.
When speeding on the choppy sea, the speedboat can easily drift and capsize, but it doesn't matter. At worst, you can just change to another one and continue.
The battle axe finally came. Zeng Wangcai had done what he should do and could only trust his comrades and weapons.
The Americans have only been equipped with this weapon for a few years, and every appearance represents a big event, meaning that an important target of the Americans' enemies has been targeted.
It was the same this time, but the difference was that the opponents were just six small-tonnage pirate ships.
Miller had no choice but to order the Tomahawks to be launched. He was already furious. The second round of squadron attacks had the same result as the first round, or even worse.
When they entered the range of 300 kilometers of the enemy ships, the enemy ships' long-range air defenses opened fire and shot down the first wave of fighter planes.
At first, Miller was very happy to see that the survival rate of the second squadron's fighters was higher than that of the first wave. He was happy until the fighters launched the Harpoon.
Then Miller was no longer happy. The saturation attack he expected was not achieved. The six ships were like hedgehogs, and three of them did not even open fire. All the harpoons were cleared.
At that moment Miller gave the order to fire the Tomahawk without hesitation.
The Tomahawk was Miller's last resort. After giving the order, he was furious, or worried that the extremely fast pirate ship would accidentally run away again. He then ordered the fleet to speed up, and the entire Seventh Fleet pounced on the six pirate ships.
The frigate's throttle was smoking and the aircraft carrier's horsepower was also at maximum.
Miller...is determined to win.
While the Seventh Fleet was maneuvering forward, Miller paid close attention to the situation of the two 055s. He was relieved when he found that there was indeed no sign of intervention from the 055s.
In other words, no one has the time to pay attention to butts right now.
Zeng Wangcai was nervously watching the attack of the Tomahawk missiles. He knew that this was the key to the test. If the Tomahawk could not do anything about the air defense of the six ships, then the 055 would be declared invincible. As long as it did not rush into the encirclement of the enemy fleet, it would be able to deal with various dangers calmly.
HQ was the first to open fire. After long-range defense, the Tomahawks still broke through. Although the subsonic missiles were not fast, considering that the radar systems on the six ships were incomplete, Zeng Wangcai could accept this result.
In the end, 1130's terrifying firepower knocked down the last tomahawk.
"Haha, it's watertight!" Zeng Wangcai felt relieved by the final result and concentrated on driving the boat.
......
Lanwei Island.
"Mom, save my mom, I don't want to die here!"
"They are all crazy, why aren't they afraid of death?"
"Site, these can't be pirates. How could pirates have such terrifying firepower..."
Several American Marines hid in the fortifications. They didn't dare to stick their heads out to observe the situation. Two guys had already been shot dead beside them.
The bodies of the dead Marines were not respected, and the Americans were not as humane as they portray in their movies. Compared to staying alive, humanity means nothing.
Stephen leaned against the fortifications, hunched his head, hid it under the bodies of his comrades, and held the communicator in his arms.
Only he, the captain, is qualified to use corpses as sandbags.
"Major, I want to know where the reinforcements are!" Li Wenri lay on the ground, dodging bullets and crawling over. "We don't have much time. The pirates are attacking crazily. Half of my men are already dead."
The half he mentioned refers to the half of those who remained after the bombardment.
If it weren't for the example of Jingguan, their troops would have collapsed long ago with such losses.
"Don't I know? Do I need you to tell me?" Stephen roared angrily, and then ignored Li Wenri and yelled into the microphone in his hand, "Call for support, call for support, the situation on Lanwei Island is critical, please inform the location of the reinforcements and how long it will take to arrive."
He couldn't remember how many times he had called. The previous calls told him that the fleet was coming, but now there was no sign of the fleet.
This call was even more unbearable, as there was no response for a long time.
Without support, they would be dead. The pirates were much better than them in terms of morale and weapons.
Stephen found that he had underestimated the Pirates. This guy who seemed to be full of energy, was he really a Pirate?
"Major, maybe you should try to contact someone else." Li Wenri, who had crawled over, learned the result of Stephen's call. "My equipment was blown up. Now only your equipment can be used. We'd better call the Combined Fleet. They are closer to us."
That makes sense!
Stephen pushed the device in his arms to Li Wenri: "You come!"
When life is about to be lost, who would care about face? No matter who it is, as long as they can save lives, it’s fine.
Soon Li Wenri got the device and started calling...
However, his result was the same as Stephen's, no one responded.
More than an hour later, the old lady Salty Fish stepped onto Lanwei Island, and her pirates were already cleaning up the battlefield.
This attack was the strongest resistance she and her men had ever encountered.
"Mr. Big, it's over here!" The old lady who participated in the battle personally couldn't wait to report the results and ask for instructions on the next step. "Our casualties are about one-tenth. The enemy followed Mr. Big's order and wiped them out completely. There is no one alive. There are a few foreign devils on the island... Yes, yes, yes, old American, what should we do with their bodies?"
"Okay, got it. Let's build a Jingguan... Don't worry, sir. Once we're done with this, I'll go back to the ship to deal with the monkeys' combined fleet..."
After finishing her report, the old lady stepped on a small mound blown up by a bomb and shouted: "The great master said that when we build a Jingguan, all the brothers who participate in the exhibition will be rewarded, and the brothers who died in the battle..."
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Now that the big reward is in place, the pirates are much more motivated to clean up the battlefield.
All the Vietnamese monkeys, plus the American Marines brought by Stephen, were killed on Lanwei Island without a single one left.
Finally, the old lady asked her men to count the number of people and got a shocking answer - according to preliminary statistics, two thousand people were beaten to death.
It was just a small-scale battle involving pirates, but two thousand people died.
Old Lady Xianyu left some people to build the Jingguan, and she returned to the ship to lead the fleet to meet up with the six ships.
Those six ships were confronting and maneuvering with the combined fleet assembled by the monkeys. It was not that they did not want to fight, but with six ships against twenty or thirty ships, they would not be at an advantage, even though their weapons were more advanced.
Old Lady Xianyu led the team to join the battlefield and boarded the boat that Zeng Wangcai had arranged for her.
As a result, the number of warships on both sides was almost equal, and the other side became more and more fearful.
According to the original plan, the fight would start after the Salted Fish Old Lady arrived, but Zeng Wangcai suddenly changed the battle plan, letting the Salted Fish Old Lady continue to confront, and then retreat after the Jingguan was built.
Their retreat confused the Monkey United Fleet on the opposite side, and they quickly asked for instructions from the command center.
After consulting with the monkeys, the non-monkey leader Hallam, who temporarily took charge of the overall command, ordered the combined fleet to send a ship to check the situation on Lanwei Island.
