Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 294 Show Time
"Let's go, let's go ahead and take a look."

Song Heping and Jiang Feng rushed to the bow of the ship.

They quickly reached the sandbags piled up by the crew and squatted on the left side of the front deck.

The sea in the distance is vast, and you can vaguely see two small black dots rising and falling in the waves.

This was Song Heping's first encounter with pirates.

I raised the telescope and looked at the small black dots, and saw that they were two small boats about five or six meters long.

The one running in the front was a speedboat with a blue and white hull that looked like it was made of fiberglass steel, while the one running a little slower behind it was a wooden boat with a shed roof that looked like a fishing boat.

Freighters generally travel at a speed of only a dozen knots, and at most only about 20 knots, which is as slow as a snail compared to speedboats equipped with high-power motors.

Therefore, once they are targeted, there is basically no way to escape. If there are no armed security personnel on board, the crew can only rely on making Molotov cocktails using primitive methods or using fire hoses to stop them.

Big ships are tall and speedboats are short, so if you want to get on board to rob, you have to climb the gangway.

Pirates are at their most vulnerable when climbing the gangway, and this is also the key to determining victory or defeat.

Therefore, most crew members would take this opportunity to attack the pirates, causing them to fall off and give up boarding the ship.

But there are very few successful cases.

Because the pirates had guns, and some even had RPG rocket launchers. Although they were all very old AK series guns and often jammed due to lack of maintenance, fire sticks were still fire sticks. When the crew attacked their accomplices on board, they fired at the ship.

Crew members who have not received military training usually have their psychological defenses quickly collapsed under the hail of bullets and give up resistance.

Most of the time, the captain will organize the crew to hide in the safe cabin inside the freighter. There is water and food in the safe cabin, which can last for several days. All they can do is pray that the pirates will not want to stay and leave on their own after robbing the property on the ship.

"About 600 meters away."

Song Heping quickly estimated the distance, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "You or me?"

Captain Edmund, who had come to watch the fun, said, "Why don't you wait until they get closer before you fight?"

Jiang Feng ignored the captain's words, but asked Song Heping with a smile: "Old squad leader, at 600 meters, you use AKM to hit them?"

Song Heping said: "It's not impossible. Haven't you tried it in the army?"

The PKM machine gun in Jiang Feng's hand has an effective range of 1000 meters, which is very suitable for attacking large targets and cluster targets around 600 meters away.

But when he saw that Song Heping dared to say that he could use an assault rifle like AKM to hit a target about 600 meters away, his curiosity suddenly piqued.

Before joining the company, he had heard that the boss of this company was a Chinese who had served in the military and was quite impressive. He was a legend in the mercenary circle of Bakda. In just one year, he turned a small team into a large defense company with hundreds of employees.

After coming in and seeing Song Heping, for various reasons, he didn't want to ask. Now that the opportunity came, Jiang Feng was not polite and said, "Old squad leader, then you come."

Of course Song Heping saw through Jiang Feng's little thoughts. Wasn't he just trying to test his own strength?

This is very common in the PLA army. As the leader of any unit, you must be able to control your subordinates, and this is especially true for elite troops.

If you want to suppress those stupid soldiers, you must have unique skills, strong military qualities, and stun the whole audience with your moves. Then everyone will give you a thumbs up and be convinced.

If you are a wimp, no one will respect you. Even if your military rank is higher than others, they will look down on you from the bottom of their hearts.

Song Heping pointed to the small black dot in the distance and said, "It's less than 600 meters now. I'm taking advantage."

Jiang Feng took a quick look.

It was indeed less than 600 meters away. While the two were talking, the two speedboats got much closer.

It’s estimated to be only a little over 500 meters now.

But he still thought Song Heping was bragging.

Hitting a target at 400 meters is not a problem on land, but on a boat, if you can hit a human target at a distance of 500 meters, you are already an amazing person, let alone meters.

"It's okay, I just want to see the old squad leader show off his skills." Jiang Feng said.

"Then I'll keep an eye on you, new recruit." Song Heping knelt down and placed the AKM assault rifle on the sandbag, then deftly opened the safety and loaded the bullet.

His AKM assault rifle is equipped with a scope. Although the 3x scope has a low magnification, the field of view is very comfortable.

blah blah-

Song Heping fired a burst of shots.

After this burst of shots was fired, everyone present stretched their necks to look into the distance.

Edmund, who had a telescope, quickly picked it up to watch the fun.

The leading blue and white fiberglass speedboat was hit by a machine gun on the bow, sending up small fragments that scared all the pirates into lying down.

Song Heping shook his head regretfully.

The freighter was now accelerating wildly and was a little bumpy, and the first burst of shots actually missed.

He looked down at the gun and was surprised.

Jiang Feng laughed: "Old squad leader, you can't do it! Let me do it!"

After saying that, he set up the machine gun and was about to fire.

Song Heping stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, there is a problem with my gun, the scope has shifted." This AKM assault rifle uses a modified dovetail scope clamp. One disadvantage of this thing is that it is easy to shift due to bumps.

Song Heping felt that it must have been accidentally shaken off course in the past few days. Looking at the point where the bullet hit just now, it was tilted downwards.

He raised his assault rifle, this time standing up without support, and fired two bursts at the leading boat.

blah blah-

blah blah-

About a second later, two of the pirates squatting in the blue and white speedboat tilted their bodies and fell directly into the cabin, disappearing from the sight.

"OH MY GOD!"

Captain Edmund screamed first.

"That's amazing, Boss Song!"

He was delighted.

Only then did he realize that Song Heping was not exaggerating when he told him that he would be fine, and that he really had the ability.

"Brilliant!"

Jiang Feng gave a thumbs up.

"I'm impressed by the old squad leader's rifle skills."

Song Heping said, "Then it's your turn to perform."

He looked into the distance and said, "If you don't take action now, they'll run away."

When everyone looked, they saw that the two ships had indeed slowed down, as if they were feeling guilty and wanted to escape.

Of course Jiang Feng also knew the rules.

Song Heping showed off his unique skills, and he couldn't be nervous. He had to show his unique skills to the old squad leader. Otherwise, not only would he be looked down upon, but his own unit would also be despised. Every Marine has a strong sense of collective honor. It doesn't matter if he dies, but he must not bring shame to his unit. This is a spirit engraved in his bones.

He quickly set up the PKM machine gun and said to Song Heping, "Old squad leader, watch this."

After saying that, he quickly took aim and pulled the trigger.

Da da da da da da da—

He fired in long bursts, holding down the trigger.

In fact, this kind of long burst shooting is the most difficult way to play.

Because of the recoil problem, short bursts can control the beam stability, but long bursts are difficult to maintain within a small range.

Long bursts of fire are a difficult subject that tests a machine gunner.

The PKM machine gun used by Jiang Feng uses an aluminum alloy magazine with a loading capacity of 100 rounds, and the theoretical firing rate of PKM is 650 rounds per minute, which means that as long as you hold down the trigger, the magazine can be emptied in about 10 seconds.

Soon, a box of bullets was emptied.

Jiang Feng raised his head from the gun.

Everyone looked at the two small black dots in front of them.

The blue and white speedboat had completely slowed down, but was still moving forward slowly, while the wooden-hulled speedboat behind it had turned around and was running in the opposite direction, as if it had seen a ghost.

Jiang Feng asked Song Heping to take out a new box of ammunition from the tactical bag on his back and put it back on. He then said to Song Heping, "I guess there's no one left in that blue and white speedboat."

After a pause, he continued, "No, I mean, there are no survivors."

Song Heping raised the telescope and saw that there was not a single person squatting on the blue and white fiberglass speedboat. It seemed that everyone was lying down, with corpses piled up together.

Probably because the engine was still idling, the boat was still moving slowly.

"Well done. Your gun control is very good. You are considered an expert."

Jiang Feng was unhappy when he heard this. "Old squad leader, you can also play PKM?"

"Yeah." Song Heping nodded and said, "I understand a little bit."

"It's a pity there's no chance."

Jiang Feng looked at the speedboat that had already sailed away and said, "Otherwise, we must let the old squad leader show off his skills."

Song Heping saw that he was not convinced, so he said, "There will be a chance, probably tonight or tomorrow."

"You mean they will come again?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes." Song Heping said confidently, "They have suffered such a great loss, they will definitely come back, and they will bring more people with them."

When Edmund heard this, he immediately felt like peeing: "Oh, Boss Song, are you serious?"

Song Heping patted his shoulder and said, "Don't panic, we're here. Don't worry, there won't be leaves falling from the sky to hit your head."
