Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 255 The divine crane descends from the sky!

Merchant ship Xindu, third floor of container area.

Cheng Yanfei, who thought he was about to be rescued, was stunned as he watched the helicopter slowly fall down while emitting black smoke.

Because he had stared for so long without blinking, his eyeballs had begun to become bloodshot, and his expression looked even more frightened.

No one expected that this group of pirates would be so crazy that they dared to shoot down all the navy's helicopters!
Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against in the future? !

After five or six seconds of sluggishness, Cheng Yanfei immediately gritted his teeth and rushed out without saying a word, and began to climb up the ladder.

The pirates on the deck below also began to rush towards the place where the helicopter crashed, and soon found the helicopter stuck in the air.

At the same time, Cheng Yanfei, who was in motion, was quickly discovered by a pirate, who pointed at him and shouted: "There is a hidden crew member there!"

So the pirates immediately shouted wildly at Cheng Yanfei. Seeing that he kept moving, they began to climb up and shoot randomly.

At this moment, Cheng Yanfei, in the crazy secretion of adrenaline, once again relied on instinct to act. At this moment, he had only one purpose: to save the surviving soldiers!
Under the burning fire, the helicopter may explode at any time, and then the soldiers on the helicopter will have no possibility of survival.

"This is definitely no ordinary pirate!"

"Hey...the problem is that their life or death is uncertain now. What if...what if there is no rescue value anymore and they hook up with the Panlong Commando instead?"

Following a burst of gunfire, the hand holding the assault rifle exploded, and the pirates screamed.

Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at the Yinhe designer who had been remotely connected on the big screen.

"Isn't this already obvious? There is definitely someone behind them!"

"I'm Yu Yong, let's help!"

Kang Chi explained in a deep voice: "The main reason why the pirates were able to deal with the Velociraptor Commandos in advance was that the sound of the helicopter was so loud. They knew the helicopter was coming from several kilometers away."

"But pirates have stingers, and the current Yinhe is not equipped with anti-missile weapons. It was just as dangerous in the past!"

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting their argument.

"Hey! Wake up! Hey!"

Like the command room of the Zhoushan ship, here, after learning that the helicopter was shot down, there was a sudden silence, followed by a bustle like a busy city.

"But Yinhe is an electric motor, so the sound can be much quieter. If we directly let Yinhe reduce its speed, fly to a thousand meters directly above the Xindu, and then land quickly, even if they have anti-aircraft guidance weapons, it will be difficult to catch them in the first place. React and find the launch angle.”

After putting Wu Haitao down, Yu Yong was preparing to give him first aid and said to Cheng Yanfei: "I'm here to guard him. Please go over and help save people!"

Without saying a word, Cheng Yanfei first put Wu Haitao's legs on his knees to reduce the pressure on the legs to ease the blood flow. Then he took off his coat and white bottoming vest, preparing to use the vest to tie up the wound. Further slow down blood flow.

Da da da--

With Yu Yong joining in, the two of them worked together to quickly lift Wu Haitao and evacuate behind the container. During this period, the pirates seemed to be frightened by Yu Yong's two waves. They didn't even dare to show their hands, let alone their heads.

While Cheng Yanfei lay down to evade, he also took a look at the direction where he had just fired. Sure enough, he saw a Chinese soldier pointing a gun in the direction of the pirates' pursuit, and quickly pulled the trigger.

"Are we going to give up on the Velociraptor Commandos like this?"

In fact, the most important thing to do at this time is to go to the helicopter to rescue people first. But after all, this was the first time Cheng Yanfei encountered such a situation. He instinctively saved people whenever he saw them, without thinking so much about it.

"Thanks……"
-
Yanjing, emergency command room.

Listening to the fierce debate in the command room, Commander Shen couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.

"..."

Cheng Yanfei hurriedly knelt down and patted his cheek while checking his body wounds. He quickly determined that his main wound was a long propeller fragment that penetrated his calf. At this time, bright red blood was gurgling out.

"In order to complete the landing as quickly as possible and reduce the time for them to discover Yinhe, I can now compile an emergency landing program. The logic of this emergency landing program is to first turn off Yinhe's main motor and let Yinhe perform a free fall. Only the four auxiliary motors operate in a limited manner to maintain the horizontal attitude of the fuselage, which also allows Yinhe to always be in a very quiet state. When it is about to land on the ship, it will turn on its full power and perform the braking action."

In this hail of bullets, relying on his familiarity with the Xindu's fixed steel frame, Cheng Yanfei quickly climbed onto the fifth floor of the container and discovered the sniper Wu Haitao who had just been thrown out of the cabin when the plane rolled.

After he completed the simple bandaging, the pirates below finally followed up. After seeing Cheng Yanfei and Wu Haitao, they immediately shouted at them with guns.

Da da da--

"These can be discussed after this incident. It is nothing more than that the helicopters in the escort formation must be equipped with anti-missile weapons such as decoys... But the top priority now is what should be done? Should the Yinhe formation be put into action immediately? To the rescue?”

"This is impossible. How can pirates have anti-aircraft guided weapons!?"

The pirates behind him were so frightened that they retreated quickly, and then used their most common shooting method: raising the gun above their heads and starting a blind shooting.

Da da da--

boom--

"I wonder if you still remember the leak of the Tongyong Power Company's blueprints last time? I think it has been fulfilled in this incident! And this is only the first time, and it is likely to become a normal occurrence in the future!"

With a gunshot, a hole suddenly appeared in the pirate's head, the words in his mouth stopped abruptly, and then his body fell straight down.

"I have an idea."

"it's actually really easy."

"Yes! It's me!"

"it is good!"

"Oh well!"

As if he had found a life-saving straw, Chief Shen quickly asked Kang Chi: "What can Dr. Kang do?!"

Their usual method of shooting suddenly no longer works!
After the Chinese soldier finished firing, he immediately ran over: "Are you Captain Cheng?"

After hearing Kang Chi's bold plan, everyone in the command room was stunned.

Just let Yinhe shut down and fall into free fall?

"What if the stop fails?"

"It is indeed possible. After all, there are no absolutes." Kang Chi also nodded candidly, "But Yinhe's motor responds very quickly, and there are ranging radars at eight angles of the fuselage, so I can guarantee the probability of accidents. It will definitely not be higher than 0.001%. If I didn't have such a high degree of certainty, I wouldn't dare to risk the lives of soldiers... It's up to you to decide whether you want to do this or not."

"You write the program first!" Chief Shen nodded immediately, "Let's discuss the feasibility of the plan."

Kang Chi nodded. In fact, he was already writing when he spoke. After all, if the program is written first, there is no loss even if it is not used.

Time is everything at this critical moment!
"correct!"

Kang Chi reminded him while writing the code, "Now that everyone knows, at this moment, there are many eyes paying attention to Xindu Hao."

"So this trick has only one chance to work wonders. When they know that we have this method, they will definitely take countermeasures in advance, so they must use this precious opportunity with caution. In my opinion, this incident, Maybe it’s far from that simple…”

Chief Shen's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

In fact, he always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
But the authorities were obsessed with the onlookers, and he never discovered what the problem was. It wasn't until Kang Chi's words at this moment that he was suddenly reminded...

"Enlarge the chart immediately!" Chief Shen said quickly.

Just when he set his sights on the chart, Yu Yong's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Call the command center, call the command center! I am Gray Wolf, I am Gray Wolf!"

Hearing Yu Yong's voice, everyone suddenly became excited.

Commander Shen stopped looking at the chart and said quickly: "This is the emergency headquarters, Gray Wolf, how are you doing?"

"Reporting to the command center, the plane successfully made an emergency landing, but many team members were injured. It has been confirmed that one crew member died... Vulture, Black Panther and Captain Cheng are conducting emergency rescue of the soldiers. I am exchanging fire with the pirates and fighting for the rescue. Time, but there are too many pirates, and I can only hold one side... Asking for support! Asking for support!"

"Copy that! Please hold on as long as you can!"

After the call ended, everyone felt like they were in a panic. Even the staff officer who had just questioned Kang Chi's plan couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Let the Yinhe on the Red Eagle take off!"

"and many more!"

Chief Shen, who was originally inclined to support Yinhe's dispatch, suddenly retorted resolutely at this moment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Immediately install all the spare batteries to No. 01 Yinhe, and then take the 16 Panlong team members with him. As fast as possible, rush to the Zhoushan ship at low altitude over the sea surface, while No. 02 and No. 03 Yinhe continue to replenish energy on the Red Eagle!"

Rushing to the Zhoushan ship?
Many people were immediately confused...
-
Currently, reconnaissance satellites on the earth generally operate in an orbit of 600-1000 kilometers, and satellites in this orbit are constantly orbiting the earth, so they can only cover the same place 2-3 times a day. , if the orbit is temporarily changed, the number of times can be increased slightly. Doing so will consume a large amount of power material of the satellite and shorten the life cycle of the satellite.

Therefore, even though Lao M had deployed three reconnaissance satellites over the Gulf of Aden in advance, it still took more than ten minutes for the destroyer Remiji to receive the second satellite image.

Through analysis of the images, they quickly concluded that the Chinese helicopter crashed on the Xindu!
Although they were a little disappointed that they didn't crash directly into the sea, the forced landing on the ship brought very little change to the plan.

So they immediately issued an order:
Start the second phase of the plan!
-
Near the waters of Idaibu Island, the Zhoushan ship was still at full power and was sailing quickly towards the Xindu. The officers in the command room looked a little anxious, and they were worried about the Xunlong commando on the Xindu.

"Report! The tanker Lotus sent a distress signal!"

"What!?"

Captain Hu's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. He quickly looked at the chart and quickly found the location of the Lotus oil tanker.

At this moment, the Lotus is passing through the middle section of the Gulf of Aden, located 556 kilometers due west-north of the Zhoushan ship, and the Jiaxing ship on duty in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is also almost 580 kilometers away!

This means that neither the Zhoushan ship nor the Jiaxing ship can rush to rescue quickly...

At the moment when the enemy's plan was revealed, Hu Zhi finally realized that they had fallen into a trap!

The attack on the Xindu was completely a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
If the Xindu had not been attacked, the Zhoushan ship would have been able to arrive at the Lotus tanker within two hours in its original duty area and prevent the tanker from docking south.

But because of the Xindu incident, there is a large escort vacuum in the Gulf of Aden at this moment...

Once the pirates successfully control the Lotus, they can basically drive the ship to the coast of Somalia without any interference.

This is the true purpose of pirates! No, it is impossible for this group of scattered pirates to formulate such a well-thought-out plan!

Whether it is formulated or executed, this plan first requires a large amount of intelligence support, and it is also a huge test for the pirates' hijacking capabilities.

This was the first doubt Kang Chi had after hearing that the pirates had Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

Since there is obviously support behind the pirates, what is the point of them doing this?
After all, given the location of the Xindu, even if the pirates repelled the first wave of helicopter rescues, but were subsequently intercepted halfway by the Zhoushan ship, it would definitely be a matter of time.
Although the whole incident seems dangerous, the ending must be that the pirates are trapped on the Xindu. If they have hostages, they may have to deal with it. If not, they will definitely be greeted by a violent storm!
In addition, more than three hours have passed since the Xindu was hijacked, but the other party has no intention of contacting Tongda Shipping Group to extort ransom.

Although there are reasons why the pirates did not find the hostages, if Kang Chi is a pirate and he is only after money, then he can just find one of his men to scream a few times and try to coax a small amount of money first.

For example, they promise to stop the ship after receiving one million, and then slowly increase the intensity of the extortion, gradually handing over the chips in exchange for ransom.

This doesn't take much effort.

What if Tongda Group directly withdraws the money?
Therefore, the other party definitely has a bigger conspiracy!
Fortunately, after his reminder, Chief Shen calmed down and did not immediately ask Yinhe to rescue the Xindu, nor did he expose his trump card for an emergency landing.

At the same time, in order to avoid being detected by the opponent's radar, Yinhe No. 01 was allowed to fly at low altitude over the sea. Unless the opponent did not hesitate to dispatch an airborne early warning aircraft for this plan, they would not be able to detect Yinhe's movements.

This brings endless possibilities for action!
"Report to command, report to command, I am Gray Wolf! The pirates on the Xindu suddenly began to retreat, please give me instructions!"

"Command received it, please leave the pirates alone and stay on the Xindu to continue the rescue work!"

"But..." Yu Yong choked through gritted teeth, "I...will not give in!"

"Don't worry, none of the pirates can escape!"

"Roger that!"

After ending the communication, everyone in the command room finally determined the purpose of Commander Shen's order just now.

While he was sweating, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Xindu is safe for the time being."

"Sure enough, the authorities are confused and the beholder knows the truth. Fortunately, Dr. Kang reminded us, otherwise we would have lost everything."

"Thanks also to Chief Shen for staying calm in times of crisis."

"..."

Everyone secretly whispered to each other with some fear.

The main reason is that the enemy this time is so cunning and vicious that they, who were eager to save people just now, were blinded by this smoke bomb.

"Everyone, please don't be too happy. The matter has not really ended yet. The sacrifice of a Velociraptor commando is already a fact... Keep your spirits up and stay vigilant at all times!"

"Roger that!"

Time passed by, and Yinhe No. 01, which was originally planning to rush to the Zhoushan ship, also slightly changed its course and began to fly directly towards the Lotus oil tanker. The crew of the Lotus oil tanker was also under the command of the Zhoushan ship. Like the crew of the Xindu, they hid in the lower deck.

The person responsible for landing the Lotus was the pirate leader Vayerbach. When he boarded the giant oil tanker with a capacity of 150,000 tons, he felt a bit like stepping on cotton.

This giant oil tanker is loaded with crude oil. The oil alone is worth nearly 10 million US dollars, not to mention the oil tanker itself and the crew on it.

Asking for a ransom of five million US dollars is very kind, right?

Thinking of this, Wayebach felt his blood start to boil all over, and he quickly called to his men: "Quick, everyone go down to find the crew!"

"Ah? Don't you need to keep someone to keep an eye on the Chinese Navy?"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you the boss or am I the boss?" Vayerbach slapped the questioner directly and angrily said,
"The two Chinese warships are hundreds of kilometers away from us, and the helicopter of one was shot down. I'm sorry they don't dare to send more helicopters. I'll try my best to find the hostages first. Damn it, if not If those losers like Franli don’t find any hostages, I can still make millions of dollars more!”

Several accompanying mercenaries looked a little angry when they heard Vayerbach bluntly calling their boss a waste, but in the end they just snorted coldly and walked directly towards the tanker cab...

On the Remiji, Commander Leondre and Vice-Captain Pereira did not notice at all that a Silver Crane that landed on the Red Eagle had quietly left the Red Eagle an hour ago. There were only more than 400 kilometers left from the Lotus. It took them at most 40 minutes to launch a rescue operation for the Lotus.

The No. 01 Silver Crane is now thousands of kilometers away from them, far beyond their radar range. At this time, the battlefield monitoring task has been handed over to the destroyer Sumant in the Gulf of Aden.

However, the minimum detection range of the destroyer Sumante's radar exceeded twenty meters, and it also did not detect Yinhe flying close to the sea.

And their aircraft carrier formation is still in Baixiangyang, and they have not sent airborne early warning aircraft to the waters of the Gulf of Aden to monitor this, which they think is a sure thing.

As time continued to advance, Silver Crane No. 02 and No. 03 also used the power system on the Red Eagle merchant ship to complete 80% of the rapid charging and flew away from the Red Eagle one after another.

Among them, No. 02 is a heavily armed Yinhe carrying heavy weapons and medium- and long-range missiles. It is responsible for chasing pirates. No. 03 is in an unloaded state after removing the battery. At this time, it is responsible for transporting the remaining 8 Panlong commandos to join Xindu. rescue and aftermath work.

On the destroyer Sumant, the radar soldier suddenly shouted in disbelief: "Reporting to the commander, an unknown signal source suddenly appeared near the tanker Lotus, and the target is climbing at high speed!"

Everyone immediately responded and looked at the radar screen. They saw the trajectory of this unknown signal, like a vertically launched missile. It drew a huge arc with a radius of one kilometer in the air from the center of the Lotus. It climbed to Directly above the Lotus, it suddenly stopped.

"What is this!?"

This strange scene immediately shocked everyone in the command room.

This speed could be said to be that of a helicopter, but the speed is too fast, or that of a missile, but the speed is too slow.

And how could the missile suddenly stop in the air?
For the same reason, it is even less likely to be a fighter jet.

"Is it an alien flying saucer?!"

"Damn the alien flying saucer, this must be China's secret weapon! Quickly notify the hungry wolves and let them prepare to intercept immediately!"

"Roger that!"

On the Lotus, Vayerbach was lying leisurely on the captain's chair in the tanker's cab, imagining what he would do after receiving this huge ransom.

A rapid ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted his sweet dream.

"What? There might be a helicopter a few hundred meters above us? How is that possible! That thing can be heard from several kilometers away! Do you think I'm a fool?!"

Wayebach curled his lips nonchalantly.

Although he had no professional military training, his long career as a pirate made him very confident in his actual combat experience. He could tell how far away the helicopter was from them by hearing the sound.

"Idiot! Act quickly, it's too late! 400 meters, 300 meters... so fast! It's over!"

Hearing the anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Vayerbach finally realized the seriousness of the problem. However, when he stood up and ran outside to look up at the sky, it was too late.

Toot, toot, toot—

The other end of the phone has hung up the call.

Wayebach held the phone blankly and looked at the divine creature with wide eyes. He was so surprised that he could put an egg in his mouth!

What the hell is this? !
I saw that huge aircraft with a very sci-fi look, falling straight towards the Lotus's deck like a meteorite. It wasn't until it was only more than 50 meters away from the deck that the three propellers started turning crazily, cutting the air harshly. The sound almost pierced Wajerbach's eardrums!
When Wayebach reacted, the entire aircraft had quickly completed the sudden braking and deceleration action and gently stopped on the deck. Then a group of fully armed soldiers quickly poured out of it.

boom--

With the sound of a gunshot, Wayebach, who was still standing in a daze outside the cab, was shot in the head because his position was too conspicuous!
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Group into groups and act as planned!"

The Panlong commandos who rushed out of the plane immediately began to split up and began to annihilate the pirates on the oil tanker.

At the same time, a hundred nautical miles south of Daibu Island, several speedboats drew a long wave on the sea and frantically evacuated towards Isku.

The pirates on the speedboat had basically relaxed their vigilance at this moment.

After all, China's helicopters were gone, and the warships could not catch up with the speedboats.

Therefore, they all believe that there is nothing that can threaten them in this sea area.

And without early warning aircraft to provide positioning, even missiles may not be able to find them.

What's more, when the navies of various countries fight against pirates, they usually do not use weapons such as missiles, which is more or less like using cannons to swat mosquitoes.

So don’t panic at all!
but,

This time they underestimated China's determination to fight against pirates.

Besides, they are not just pirates.

"Pirate speedboat discovered!"

"Lock the target, prepare to launch, 321, launch!"

call out--

With a tongue of fire spurting out, the two small missiles mounted on both sides of Yinhe immediately began to accelerate towards the pirate speedboat. When Flanli saw the fiery red flash and the white mist drawn from a distance, The whole person was stunned.

"There are missiles! Prepare the stinger!"

However, how could their reaction speed keep up with the missiles that had been launched? In the panic, before they could even lift the barrel, a violent explosion occurred at the stern of the ship!

The two speedboats that were speeding were immediately overturned on the sea surface and rolled like rocks in water. The more than ten pirates on board were thrown away to no one knows where.

Seeing this, the remaining three speedboats did not care about rescuing people at all. They directly increased their horsepower to the maximum and tried to avoid the missiles by taking S turns, but this level of evasive action was of no avail.

Two more explosions sounded, and the two speedboats rolled over.

It has to be said that these armored speedboats are quite strong. Although they were hit by missiles, none of them disintegrated directly. They all lost control and rolled over.

But even so, the remaining ship was so frightened that the pirates on it shut down the engine and started waving frantically to signal surrender...
