Chapter 263: Pirates in the South Ocean
Chapter 263: Being a pirate in Nanyang
"Prepare to attack the enemy!" Long Jiu ordered.
With his order, two S-class torpedo boats emerged from behind the reef and headed straight for the lonely merchant ship.
"There are pirates!" In broad daylight, the observation post immediately discovered the torpedo boat with the pirate flag.
"Prepare to attack!" Shoremain Shiro Kosano shouted. There are many pirates near Malacca, and most ships are equipped with guns. Their merchant ships also have two machine guns and two 7.7mm machine guns.
As he shouted, more than a dozen crew members also ran onto the side of the ship with Type 38 rifles.
Xiao Qian ignored the banner of surrender that was rigged over there and directly ordered the shooting to warn him.
"Hook!" After a gunshot, Long 32 on the opposite side shouted. The 20 anti-aircraft gun on the torpedo boat they were located had been adjusted and aimed at the merchant ship to fire. It immediately made wood chips fly across, and a row of holes appeared on the side of the ship.
"They have guns!" exclaimed a crew member. Merchant ships like them are good to have machine guns and rifles, and very few have guns.
"Start up! Get rid of them!" Xiao Qian shouted.
The merchant ship began to increase its motivation and started moving, but the s-7 that was chasing the other side, so it was too easy to catch up with them.
"Crash them!" Xiao Qian saw the speed of the S-class torpedo boat chasing him, and knew that he could not escape. He simply used the size of a 3,000-ton merchant ship to hit these small speedboats.
"Left full rudder!" Long 32 shouted loudly, his torpedo boat dodged. Dragon 28 on the other side drove the torpedo boat to the other side.
"Boom!" A shell fell to the front side of the Japanese merchant ship's side.
"Damn it, did you hit it?" Du Zizhang said annoyed.
"They have warships!" The splashing water blew down the faces of the sailors who were a little dazed on the deck with the sea breeze. Someone who woke up shouted. A warship that was about to catch up with the size of the merchant ship was sailing towards this side with its muzzle.
"Damn it!" Kosano Shiro cursed hatred. If it were only those two torpedo boats, their merchant ship might be able to escape, but with this warship, they had no hope of running. Although they felt sorry for the cargo of this ship, he still hung the white flag helplessly.
"Is that Scott?" Xiao Qian, who had served in the Navy, looked familiar with this warship. As the warship approached, it became more and more consistent with an impression in his mind. "This is impossible. It was strange that there was such a large warship here. Moreover, it was Scott, which made people even more suspicious that someone had ordered him."
Pirates near Malacca and the South China Sea rarely have such large ships. The attack power of a thousand-ton ship is already scary. Ships like Scott are no longer something that ordinary pirates can have.
"There are no suspicious targets around!" A BV-138 water reconnaissance plane in the sky was flying in the sky. The wireless telegrapher Zhou Liankang whispered. In order to ensure that the later the secret of the Scott destroyer was discovered, he usually only appeared at night. It rarely appears during the day, unless there are special targets or there are no suspicious targets around that are detected by reconnaissance planes.
This place is close to the Natuna Islands, so the first thing that was intercepted was the S-class torpedo boat sailing together in the formation. But when the S-class was hit, the first mate Deng Muchang, who couldn't help but order the fire. Originally, Scott came out for training, but since there was no strange situation in the first search, it means that it was temporarily safe.
At this time, Scott's whole body had changed a lot, full of pirate flags and fishing net-like disguise. If Xiao Qian had not visited Scott, others would not have recognized him at first sight. Even if some natives discovered it, they would not be able to associate it with Scott. At most, there are rumors that a large ship appeared among the pirates. However, rumors about such large ships are often not accurate.
However, this 2,000-ton destroyer is a bit too conspicuous when he is a pirate ship, and it is very easy to attract the attention of the Dutch and the British. But Meng Xiang is not willing to produce those small broken ships, and Scott still needs to train the crew, so he still uses Scott. It is just to pay more attention to the surroundings when he is in action. It is no big deal to be discovered. Because the area where Scott is active is mainly Malacca and Java Sea.
Xiao Qian looked at the pirates with black oil paint on their faces and climbed onto the merchant ship. When he saw the Thompson submachine gun they carried with him, he had a bad premonition.
When all the sailors were gathered on the deck, under the care of eight gun-armed pirates, more than a dozen other pirates began to search for things, the navigation logs were also dug out, and some cargo lists were also listed.
"Be careful!" When Shiro Kosano saw the gestures made by the two pirate leaders to each other that they had raised their guns, he couldn't help but shout loudly, breaking free from the pull of the caregiver next to him and pounced on the ground.
"Da da da da!" The sound of the submachine gun sounded, and no Japanese sailors on the deck were killed.
"Who are you?" Xiao Qian, who was lying on the ground, shouted.
"Bang!" The sound of the m1911 pistol that exploded his head answered him.
Long 32 made a gesture, and more than a dozen people took out the m1911 pistol and added another shot to each suspected corpse.
"All the enemies on the ship have been cleared!" Long 168 reported. Although he did not receive training, he grew into a qualified sailor in daily training.
"The ship is loaded with rubber and tin!" Long 32 reported.
"The rubber is transported to Station A and recycled! The metal tin is kept and transported back!" Long Jiu, the commander of the pirate fleet, ordered.
Station A is located on an uninhabited island on the outermost side of the Nanyang base. The living environment above is harsh and there is no freshwater, but a mining plant has been built above to recycle items. The price of natural rubber recycling is also higher than the actual price now, so recycling is chosen.
As for ready-made metal tin, it can be directly used, so it is temporarily placed in the base and wait for the opportunity to bring it back to the base in China.
"The chances of reconnaissance planes in the sky being discovered by others are very high. You should pay attention to it when training in the future!" Chen Guan, who was already a major in the navy, couldn't help but record the reconnaissance planes flying in the sky. He had just arrived here, but when he saw the Scott destroyer, his eyes were wet.
Although he failed to realize his dream of becoming Captain Scott, he was even more satisfied with being the chief of staff of the fleet. The fleet already had two Scott destroyers, six S-class torpedo boats, two Viic submarines and four Iib submarines.
This fleet is definitely a strong pirate. The fleet was divided into two teams to attack separately, with the main target being the merchant ships on the sea. *** imported a large amount of supplies from Southeast Asia every day, such as rice, rubber, tin, oil, etc. Scott was very relaxed in dealing with these merchant ships. Cooperating with the reconnaissance of the aircraft and the attack of the submarine, it could completely kill the *** people and suffer heavy losses.
But Meng Xiang clearly told him that what is needed to place the fleet here is to make more sailors and naval officers mature. Twenty-four naval cadets from various maritime schools in China gathered together and boarded the Scott destroyer and began training. With them, there were twelve young Chinese with culture and sailing experience in Nanyang.
Although the first naval academy of the Pioneer Army had already opened classes and recruited 200 students, they could only toss and scramble the shallow water near Yangjiaogou.
And this is an internship place for senior students who have mastered a certain amount of knowledge.
You should beat the ***ers hard, but you should not expose yourself to beat the ***ers. It is not a target worth attacking, and you generally won’t hit them. Meng Xiang is just thinking about accumulating people quickly, and he does not want to attract the attention of the ***ers and the Dutch and the British too quickly.
Ships from other countries generally do not plunder, and Scott will directly silence the ***ers every time he takes action against the ***ers. In this way, using other countries, especially European and American countries, it is easy to cause bigger problems. If only the ***ers are hit, the Dutch will be under less pressure.
"I found that two tankers with *** people have set sail!" A telegram came, and several ports including Singapore, Jakarta, had Chinese eyeliners contacted by Ye Zikong, and they began to report the situation of Japanese ships. The oil-producing areas in Indonesia also have eyeliners. As soon as the Japanese oil tankers set sail, the information had been sent out.
"Fight!" Chen Guan said decisively.
"Baga, this is the twelfth merchant ship lost by the empire in the South Ocean. They are here specifically to target our empire. Other countries have not lost, but we are the only ones who are frequently attacked by that big black ship." Nagano Slim Roared loudly. Scott's appearance has been spread, but no one in the local natives found that this was Scott's deportation ship. And no one knows that there are two of them.
After the three Scotts with the Germans succeeded in trading again, the Nanyang Navy, which had no transactions, let go and attacked continuously, sinking more than a dozen Japanese cargo ships and oil tankers. The cargo they plundered also made Meng Xiang earn millions, allowing Meng Xiang to understand how the pirates got rich.
"The stupid donkeys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were just waiting for the Dutch reply, but the Dutch had been ruling for half a month, but there was no movement at all. To warn the Dutch people that if there was no movement, we would take measures ourselves." The escort gunboats were useless to face Scott. They were not only facing Scott, but also needed training for the submarine troops. Three escort gunboats and armed merchant ships also disappeared.
But the deployment of large warships is very sensitive. The Dutch indeed directly rejected the request of the *** people to destroy pirates by themselves. It is easy to ask God to send God to the gods. Who doesn’t know the *** people’s expectations for Southeast Asia? There are already many people in the country who are clamoring to go south to occupy Southeast Asia. Although it is just some angry shouts, it makes the Dutch not dare to be careless.
There was no information about the disappearance of cargo ships from other countries. There were only people who did not see the sunken wreckage, and there were no traces of selling stolen goods in the market. Although some local natives saw that the cargo ships of the *** were attacked by pirate ships, who knew if the *** people wrote and directed the play. It was enough to reach the South China Sea. The French and British were also shirking about the shipwreck that occurred near Vietnam and Malaysia.
At this time, the *** person sent a piece of evidence.
When the merchant ships disappeared more, the merchant ships passing by were very careful and no longer surrendered. They resisted with their equipment artillery and guns, but facing the Japanese cargo ships that never surrendered, Long Jiu decisively ordered the artillery to continue bombardment. Looting cargo was only the secondary target. Striking enemy ships and training teams were the main ones.
Faced with the size of the 4,000-ton cargo ship, Du Zizhang's 4.7-inch naval gun in charge of the *** line hit two of the three shots. But the Japanese still did not surrender, and Long Jiu did not ask the sailor to force the boat to board the ship and directly ordered the sunk. The cargo ship was hit by six bullets and sank, but before it sank, it desperately sailed towards a nearby sand bank shoal. After the sunk, part of the hull was exposed to the water.
The soldiers sent by the Pioneer Army did not carry any cargo, but killed the Japanese sailors lying on the water, and then evacuated two more guns on the exposed hull. This place is close to the route and there is a danger of exposure at any time.
A day later, the ***er discovered the freighter based on clues provided by passing ships.
So he came to the Dutch with these evidences again.
"The shells seem to be from the British, and their guns and weapons are from the Americans. This evidence is too obvious!" The Dutchman Edwin Van der Sa couldn't help but curl his lips. As the Dutch baron, he was a little annoyed when he came to the East Indies. He felt even more angry when he heard the man nagging beside him. The empire was declining, and he was bullied by these yellow-skinned monkeys.
As soon as they asked the *** people for evidence, the *** people sent this evidence. They used British and American weapons, and they attacked large warships. But the pirates seemed too unemployed and did not rob these goods. Even if they sank into the water, those rubbers could be caught. The *** people were more attentive, and those dead bodies were so dedicated, and they used so many lives at once. Their goal was even bigger.
He agreed to respond to the top, sent away the men, and then threw the matter to the Dutch Governor for handling. The Dutch Governor found the British ambassador that night.
Without the support of the British, the Dutch could only tolerate the Dutch facing the *** people.
"We can first agree to cooperate with them to eliminate pirates. The *** people are now in the north due to border frictions. They are becoming more and more nervous. At that time, maybe someone pushes them behind them, and they will break out with a bigger war!" The British ambassador smiled, "At that time, the *** people will not care about the East Indies."
