Hong Kong Island Old Events

Late at night, ten o'clock.

From the Port of Singapore, three cargo ships loaded with gunmen sailed out and headed towards the waters of the Nansha Islands into the night. At the same time, the Red Flag Gang was so powerful that more than 80 ships arrived outside the archipelago. The observation posts on the two islands and reefs looked at the densely packed ships on the sea with panic on their faces, and immediately boarded the fort to fight back.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Several shells fell into the water and exploded into water jets.

The Red Flag Gang's fleet was not afraid at all and still headed for Mischief Island.

I saw that the mortars on the three main ships, under the control of Ma Zai, quickly turned their muzzles, loaded ammunition, and immediately made a muffled sound, and the turrets smashed back towards the islands and reefs one by one.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!" No one's shells hit anyone, but the remaining dozen warships and more than sixty kerosene fishing boats in the Red Flag Gang's fleet burst into shouts: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The three fishing boats left the fleet, hung a red flag, and rushed towards the islands and reefs without fear of death.

In fact, with the current international military power, not many countries actually have battleships and navies. In the period just after World War II, countries did not have the money to purchase warships, so they generally had to take the lead in upgrading ground weapons.

Pirates rely on a large number of fishing boats, which can be used to traverse the South China Sea with a few modifications.

If you can use merchant ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons as the main body, load mortars onto cargo ships, and then build a fleet, you will be able to dominate the South Seas!

"The Red Flag Gang is here!" Xu Tianbao, wearing a black windbreaker, picked up a telescope in his hand and stood on the deck of the main ship Tianbao, looking at the gunfire in the distance. His tone was filled with a chilling air: "Inform the whole gang to weigh anchor and leave the port. !”

"Meet the enemy!"

Zhao Wencai wore a short shirt, carried a rifle on his back, and wore a turban, and came to the dock to play the trumpet. The sound of the trumpet spread throughout the pier, and every warship had a trumpeter. The entire island was covered by the anchor. Everyone on the island knew that another war was about to break out.

The real core combatants, a total of more than 1,200 people, have all boarded the ship to fight. The only ones left on the ship are family members, women and children.

As the main ship took the lead to sail out of the dock, eight warships converted from freighters followed closely behind, slowly catching up. Finally, more than seventy fishing boats of various sizes, loaded with gangsters, spread out.

A black flag was raised high on the mast, and more than ninety ships formed a "T-shaped" lineup. First, the flagship "Tianbao" took the lead, and then eight warships moved side by side, four on each side, to protect the flagship.

Finally, there was a large-scale fishing boat following behind, unhurriedly.

In fact, the pirates' flagship warship is more like a bottom-of-the-box weapon. When they rob merchant ships, they either don't use it or scare the merchant ships. The only ones with real combat effectiveness are small fishing boats. Although the small fishing boat has no weapons at all, it is modified with a kerosene engine and is extremely fast at sea, like a swarm of bees. It can attack merchant ships in an instant and function as an assault boat. Moreover, fishing boats can carry cargo, fish, carry people, and conduct landing operations, which is very convenient.

But tonight.

Driven by profit, the two pirates came out in force. Whoever can defeat the other will become the next Nanyang overlord!

Observation reef.

A dozen Tianbao thieves armed with rifles and guarding the islands and reefs started a bloody battle on the tidal flats with the landing Red Flag Gang. More than 60 people came aboard from three fishing boats of the Hongqi Gang. After a fierce battle, they quickly defeated the defense line of the Tianbao thieves.

Xu Tianbao had observation posts on the islands and reefs in several directions, but he did not expect that a dozen cavalrymen could truly resist the enemy ships. It only serves as a warning. When the fort fires, regardless of whether it hits the ship or not, the mission of the observation post has been completed.

The Tianbao thieves on the stage had no choice but to resist desperately. If the regular army is suppressing bandits, the Tianbao thieves may still surrender, but the people on the opposite side are also pirates. There is still a lot of friction between the Red Flag Gang and the natural protection thieves will not end well if they fall into the hands of the Red Flag Gang.

Just as the few remaining Tianbao thieves ran to a sea cliff and planned to jump into the sea to escape, they suddenly saw more than 40 ships appearing in the night. Although the ship did not turn on the lights, it was vaguely visible that it was impressive and well-equipped.

This is the Marine Police District's boat!

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the two Tianbao thieves were shot to death. The remaining two people looked at each other and jumped into the sea to escape, but their bodies soon surfaced. After setting fire to the observation post, the members of the Red Flag Gang returned to the fishing boat, started the boat and sailed forward.

Lin Xingyue stood on the flagship, watching the Tianbao coming through the waves under the starry sky, her confident eyes could not help but show shock.

As the second-ranked Red Flag Gang among the three major pirates, its overall strength is much inferior to that of the Tianbao Thieves. Because the Tempo is a 3,000-ton sea cruiser, it is not qualified as a cruiser for the regular navy, but it is also the leading force among pirates.

Lin Xingyue's flagship Hongqi has a displacement of just over 1,500 tons, and the remaining two main ships only have a displacement of just over 1,000 tons. But each of Xu Tianbao's eight King Kong ships has a displacement of thousands, which means that the number of large ships with Nimbus cannons. Xu Tianbao's strength is more than three times that of Lin Xingyue. Fortunately, the Red Flag Gang has renovated some small warships. It can make up for some of the advantages of boarding battles, and the natural protection thieves also have an advantage in the number of ordinary fishing boats.

Xu Tianbao at least has twice the power of the Hongqi Gang. No wonder he dares to treat the Hongqi Gang as if it were nothing and actively provokes He Dingxian to go to Nanyang.

The remaining two of the three pirates combined are not enough for him to fight!

When Xu Tianbao saw eighty ships flying with red flags and approaching in a menacing manner, Xu Tianbao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Little Pi Niang, come out in full force, it seems that Officer He has been tricked by a beauty trick! This time I will not only swallow up your Hongqi Gang, but I will also swallow you up!"

"Adjust your posture and prepare to fire."

"I know, brother!"

"Aim at the enemy ship!"

"Muzzle adjustment!"

The Tianbao took the lead in swinging the hull horizontally, aiming the last gun muzzle at the red flag, and then began to adjust the angle of each gun. The Tianbao ship is equipped with a special ship-borne gun. At sea, its stability, hit rate, and power are far greater than those of the mortars brought on board.

Naval warfare is a kind of multi-dimensional space warfare. In ancient times, it was mostly a straight-on sea battle. It is a two-dimensional battle like the army. But in modern times, it involved underwater warfare and air warfare, forming a three-dimensional battlefield, and even later information warfare and satellite warfare formed a five-dimensional or even six-dimensional battlefield.

Just like the aiming of fighter jet fire control radar, when the warship begins to adjust its posture and points the side with the muzzle at the enemy ship, it has officially entered the state of combat. The three main ships of the Red Flag Gang did not need to give orders at all, they adjusted their postures, loaded their artillery, and prepared for battle.

However, there is no unified command among them. From this, it can be seen that Lin Xingyue lacks control over the Red Flag Gang. When the main ships of both sides were in position and about to start a battle, the densely packed fishing boats had already surpassed the main ship and began to rush towards the enemy.

Under the starry sky at night, nearly two hundred warships, large and small, flying the flags of various companies were intertwined, and the usually quiet sea became extremely lively.

"Da da da."

"boom!"

"Bang!" The sounds of various submachine guns, rifles, and machine guns rang out one after another, creating a series of splashes on the water. Many pirates screamed and fell into the sea. Under the lights of the main ship, corpses were faintly visible floating along the waves.

There are also people who fell into the sea holding buckets and continuing to swim to their fishing boats.

Some fishing boats collided with each other, causing huge waves. The cruelty of naval battles is that there is no retreat and no escape!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, a series of thunders sounded, but there was no wind or cloud in the sky. Only waves rose into the sky. The sea surface was like a pot of boiled water, boiling endlessly!

The fierce battle continues!

He Dingxian sat on a freighter leaving the port from Singapore and circled behind the Yiqun brothers. They came to the rear of the battlefield and looked at the battle situation in the distance. The hands holding the binoculars were trembling. From his point of view, the ships participating in the war were all frivolous. Not to mention compared with aircraft carriers, a modern cruiser could easily kill them instantly. Because whether it is the steel used in construction, technology, or weapons, they are very backward, but the bravery and brutality that burst out together are equally shocking.

You will be frightened, frightened, and shocked when you see thousands of modern soldiers fighting, just as you will be when you see thousands of ancient soldiers. Even if you see more than a thousand primitive people holding sticks and fighting in a ball, you will still be shocked! Because what shocked you was not just the weapons, but the madness and bloody courage that humans unleashed!

Probably because he didn't come to the battleship in person, he wasn't too scared and would have run away at worst. Instead, there was excitement and excitement in my heart. If the two pirates could cook together today, they would not only be famous in Southeast Asia, but also gain a lot of money. They could develop the Marine Police District and form a stronger force than the Customs Department. Water power. You can never lose money in a war. If you mobilize so many people, ships, and suck up the money of the two pirates, how can your brothers be willing to sacrifice their lives for him in the future?

You can't let brothers hold fees in their hands, do dirty things, and talk about their ideals and beliefs, right?

"Tianyang, you are more familiar with things on the water. The current situation seems quite anxious. Can you tell me something?" At this time, He Dingxian put down the telescope and looked sideways at Jiang Tianyang next to him. They were already in visual contact with the battlefield. visible distance. Jiang Tianyang felt that the big boss wanted to come to the line of fire in person, but considering that the two sides were fighting fiercely, it was impossible to turn the ship's bow and come over, and the distance between the gun muzzles was not enough, he felt quite relieved. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Big boss, look all the way here , Xu Tianbao is still a very cunning pirate. First of all, they have forts in many places in the archipelago, some are observation posts, and some are land-based artillery, specially used to attack merchant ships."

"The entire archipelago has become a pocket. Anyone who wants to attack them will face artillery attacks from sea and land as soon as they get into the archipelago. Of course, after warships gain control of the sea, they will be a crushing threat to the islands."

"With Xu Tianbao's maritime power, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch the Red Flag Gang arrive at the gate of Meiji Island."

What the navy is fighting for is control of the sea. It is impossible to stop at the port, build fortifications, and wait for others to knock on the door. Once the location of the water stronghold is determined, they can only go out to sea to attack it. Otherwise, the dock will be burned with fire, or the warship will be plowed with cannonballs, and the people on the island will have to wait for death.

"As a pirate gang, the Red Flag Gang probably knew Xu Tianbao's design well. After pulling out the two observation reefs, they did not enter the archipelago again and chose to wait outside the archipelago for Xu Tianbao to come out. This move stopped him with silence. It’s very practical, and it seizes the initiative, but it’s a pity that the Red Flag Gang’s power is not good enough. Two main ships have been hit, but the Tianbao has not been destroyed, and only one warship has been hit.”

After hearing this, He Dingxian nodded and said: "The Marine Police Force is almost here. I can't just wait on the boat. Ah Chao, you take your brothers to Meiji Island on a speedboat, and the brothers from the club on the two cargo ships behind you will be transferred together." At your command."

"The den of Tianbao thieves was stabbed. The criminals on the shore... Well... this is high seas. According to my law, there is no need for trial. They are all guilty. Anyone in the society who disobeys the command will be shot on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!" Chen Zichao stood at attention and saluted, and immediately led people to do things.
