Chapter 211 Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon.
On the calm sea surface of the Gulf of Aden, an extremely large tanker with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons was moving, and on the deck of the bow was where Gao Yang and his group and six gathered.
Although it was still January, the temperature in the Gulf of Aden had reached 27 or 8 degrees, especially the deck temperature that was directly exposed to the sun was at least 60 or 70 degrees. It was very uncomfortable for Gao Yang and the others to suddenly arrive from the cold Idaho state to the hot Gulf of Aden.
The mobile sunshade net provides a hint of shade, and the surrounding cloth can block the sea breeze. Under the sunshade net, the special equipment for sea that was found after a lot of trouble was thrown at the feet. Gao Yang, Li Jinfang and Cui Bo were shirtless, wearing only a combat vest, and were concentrating on fighting landlords.
As the most popular poker game in China, Landlord's gameplay attracted the attention of Fry and Grolev, while Bruce stood alone on the starboard side of the most likely pirates, holding a telescope, hoping to see the pirates appear.
It has been ten days since Gao Yang arrived in the Gulf of Aden and has officially started the escort mission for seven days. The excitement of seeing the sea for the first time and boarding a large ship for the first time has long disappeared, and the rest are either boring or boring.
The worrying seasickness did not appear, because the water surface was too calm and the ship was too big, and the firefighting that was about to take place did not appear. These days, they did not even see a hair from the pirates.
From being fully armed on the first day, always in a strong battle to prevent the arrival of pirates, to being bored looking forward to meeting the legendary pirates, this process took only five days, and after two more days, Gao Yang and the others were bored and finally couldn't bear it anymore. So they decided to find something for themselves.
After boarding the Panamanian tanker to be escorted this time, Gao Yang and his team's first thing was to remove the heavy equipment on their bodies and then start playing poker. The reason why they had to put the combat vest on their bodies was that they thought that Gao Yang and his team were bringing the lbt-2564a-kitblack combat vest, a special vest for the US Navy VBSs.
The third-level bulletproof provided by the combat vest is not important. What is important is that the combat vest also has a buoyancy version, and it will not sink even if it falls into the water with heavy equipment. Moreover, the combat vest is colored with a-mkii type emergency oxygen cylinder, which can be used to breathe when accidentally falling into the water. Gao Yang can swim, while Li Jinfang and Cui Bo also talked about swimming, but it was in a small river or a swimming pool. As for Grolev and Fry, they didn't know anything at all, but whether it was a little or no, at all, they still regarded themselves as authentic land ducks, so even on the super giant ship, the possibility of falling into the sea is very slim. But Gao Yang and the others still have to wear combat vests to feel more at ease.
"Two kings, three with one. Haha, sorry, I won again."
Amid Cui Bo's smug screams, Gao Yang helplessly threw a handful of bad cards in his hand on the table, then took out two banknotes and threw them in front of Cui Bo. Li Jinfang also said unwillingly: "It's so weird. He's blown up and always takes the landlord, so I'm convinced."
Gao Yang said helplessly: "There is no way, this is a fool who has a bad fortune. Have you learned it? I have learned it and let you play for a while."
Fry took the lead, and he sat in Gao Yang's position with great enthusiasm, and began to fight the landlord with Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, while Gao Yang stood behind Fry, looking at Fry's fault if Fry hit him wrongly, he would give in. As for Grolev, he wanted to participate, but he had to wait for Li Jinfang or Cui Bucken to give way.
"The radar discovered a suspicious target, about four miles away, and is still approaching us."
When they were bored, the voice of the liaison officer on the boat suddenly came from the waterproof intercom hanging on their shoulders. However, neither Gao Yang nor the others paid attention to the alarm sent by the intercom, because Gao Yang and the others had experienced such alarms many times. From the beginning, Gao Yang and the others felt nervous, and finally hoped that the arrival of the pirates was the arrival of the pirates. Unfortunately, they all proved that the so-called suspicious target in this situation was just a small fishing boat, because the real pirates were unlikely to have only one boat.
After confirming the target location of the radar with the correspondent on the ship, Bruce began to search with telescopes, while Gao Yang and the others continued to play their poker because there was nothing to worry about. Now the ship has reached the northeast corner of Somalia and is about to use it out of the Gulf of Aden. As long as it reaches the Indian Ocean, the pirates will have no threat, because the wind and waves on the Indian Ocean cannot be resisted by those small speedboats.
Somalia's pirates like to approach and board the ship at night, and basically do not move in broad daylight. Although there are also cases of hijacking merchant ships during the day, they are rarely. Now the most dangerous areas and time periods have passed. If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Yang and the others will leave the cruise ship after dark.
The cruise continued to sail, and Bruce continued to search for the pirates in vain. The sun gradually turned west, but unfortunately, or fortunately, nothing happened. Time passed by little by little. When I first came, I felt that the sunset was still a beautiful scenery. At this time, I felt bored when I looked at it again. Everything was as boring as before.
The only thing that made Gao Yang feel a little excited was that Fry finally got a good handful of cards. Just after Cui Bo had just thrown out a three, Gao Yang immediately shouted excitedly: "Blast him to death, blow him up now, close his door, get your four tens, and then get your straight, haha, breaking tens and your straight to nine is the biggest, Farke, Fry, you are too lucky."
Fry opened the door and exploded, and then threw out a straight. At this moment, Li Jinfang also said excitedly: "Wait a minute, I will add another blow, four k, haha, rabbit, you are not dead this time!"
Gao Yang was even more happy and laughed: "Haha, the two kings took it, and then there was a three-band and one, three-band and counter-closing, let me calculate it, two-fried four hundred, three-fried eight hundred, plus counter-closing..."
"Pirates! Starboard!"
"Don't make noise, you're busy, wait a moment, pirates?"
Gao Yang, who was calculating how much Cui Bo should lose, came back to his senses in surprise, picked up his hand and put it at his feet and turned his head and ran away. Cui Bo was also surprised. When he stood up and was about to run out, Li Jinfang held Cui Bo down and said loudly: "Boy, you can leave. Pay the money for me first. I finally let it go. Want to run away? No way!"
Ignoring Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, Gao Yang ran to Bruce himself, and Bruce pointed to the sea in the distance with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "There is a boat that is dragging three small boats. The fishing boat will never be like this. It must be a pirate ship."
Gao Yang quickly discovered the pirate ship Bruce said with a telescope. Behind a fishing boat with a displacement of about 100 tons, he was dragging three speedboats, which were about one nautical mile away from them. Although most of the sun had fallen into the water, with the help of his light, he could still see the three speedboats standing on them.
Gao Yang shouted excitedly: "Brothers, pirates, they are pirates."
Cui Bo finally ran out, hugged his tac-50, and said excitedly: "Where is there, let me see, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I have been looking forward to the pirates."
While speaking, Cui Bo lay on the ground and quickly found the pirate ship with the scope on his gun. At this time, the small boat dragged behind the fishing boat had already begun to leave the mother ship. A white water line was drawn behind the speedboat, and he rushed towards Gao Yang and their cruise ship.
The anxious voice of the correspondent began to ring out of the intercom, "Pirates, this is a pirate, don't let them get close, warn to shoot, let them know that there are guards on the ship, and they will leave on their own initiative."
In fact, according to Gao Yang's intention, he planned to bring the pirates closer, but just to see what the pirates looked like, he scared the worried crew members to death. This seemed too unauthorized, so Gao Yang could only sigh with regret: "Rabbit, use tracer bullet warning shot to scare them, don't hit the boat, it's okay to scare them away, but after I order to shoot again, everyone else should be ready for battle."
Gao Yang buckled his helmet, put his shotgun on his back, then picked up the ebr and pointed the scope into a small boat. Gao Yang shouted: "Bunny, the speedboat in the middle, hit the front."
The speedboat in the middle is the front, closest to the cruise ship, and now it is about half a mile from about one thousand meters. This distance can completely ensure the accuracy range for the 12.7 mm caliber tac-50.
Cui Bo immediately fired a shot, and the tracer bullet that emitted a green light was very conspicuous in the already dim evening. The bullet fell directly into a distance of about twenty or thirty meters in front of the speedboat, splashing a splash of water.
Gao Yang thought that a bullet could be done with one round, at least to let the pirates know that the ship was armed with armed guards, and the pirates usually would not fight head-on with armed guards. They would only look for targets that did not have the ability to resist. However, this time the situation was very rare, and the pirates did not turn the entourage and flee.
Looking at the speedboat that continued to approach, Gao Yang reacted immediately, saying, "Get another shot and shoot closer."
Cui Bo fired another shot, and the bullet landing point of the shot was less than two meters in front of the speedboat, showing Cui Bo's good shooting skills, but the result was the same. The pirates still had no intention of stopping, and the three speedboats were still coming from the tanker.
Gao Yang said strangely: "No, this is different from what we have heard. Shouldn't these pirates run away? Rabbit, shoot another shot. If they keep on stopping, big dogs, warn and shoot in front of them. If this keeps happening, then prepare to greet people."
