Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 296 Dragged into the Darkness
Song Heping was fighting fiercely at the bow, and Jiang Feng was also fighting fiercely at the stern.

Five speedboats came from the stern, which put Jiang Feng in a situation very similar to Song Heping. He had to run back and forth, suppressing one side and then running to the other side. The hull was dozens of meters wide, carrying a PKM machine gun, three ammunition boxes and a whole set of other equipment, which was equivalent to doing a folding run with a load.

Soon, he found himself like trying to plug a leaking barrel and was completely overwhelmed.

"Old squad leader, I can't hold on any longer."

Although he has a greater advantage in firepower than Song Heping, he carries a heavier load, which makes him less flexible than Song Heping.

The firepower of the PKM machine gun is indeed strong, and it is very advantageous for suppressing targets at a certain distance. However, once it enters close combat and is attacked from both sides, it is really not as good as an assault rifle.

"If that doesn't work, find a high ground and delay them. If they come towards the bow, you must remind me."

"Okay. I'm going to get on the container."

Jiang Feng was already sweating profusely, and Song Heping could hear his gradually heavier breathing through the headphones.

If it doesn't work, you have to retreat.

This was agreed upon beforehand, and there is no benefit in insisting on it.

Jiang Feng quickly got on the container.

The position here is higher, the view is better, and it is easier to suppress pirates who board the ship.

Soon he reaped the rewards. The two pirates who came up from the left rear side of the ship were killed on the deck as soon as they climbed up. The pirates who were still climbing on the ladder were so scared that they dared not show up again.

"Come on, you bastards! Come on! Come up if you have the guts!"

Jiang Feng was very proud.

However, he soon learned his lesson.

After all, pirates have been doing this for a long time, and they certainly know that it is difficult to attack the ship with armed security personnel on board.

The leader in charge of this hostage-taking operation immediately ordered the pirate speedboats on the left and right sides to split into two, one on the left and one on the right, to distance themselves from the large ship and move forward parallel to the large ship at a distance of about fifty meters. At the same time, they mounted machine guns on the boats and launched a barrage of suppression at Jiang Feng, pressing him directly on top of the container at the stern of the ship so that he could not even raise his head.

In fact, if Jiang Feng had adopted Song Heping's method of using grenades to suppress the air blast, the effect would have been better and the killing area would have been larger.

It’s a pity that he was using a PKM machine gun, and the combined weight of the ammunition and the gun was heavier than Song Heping’s, so he carried fewer grenades.

Therefore, he was not as relaxed as Song Heping in using the grenade, and did not use it in time to suppress the opponent, which led to him being suppressed and then he wanted to use it, but found that the effect was not great.

After all, it is not easy to throw the ball accurately over someone's head at a distance of more than 50 meters to cause it to explode in the air.

Taking advantage of Jiang Feng being suppressed, the pirates had no choice but to continue climbing up under the urging and coercion of their leader.

As a result, they actually climbed onto the deck.

Jiang Feng saw that the situation was hopeless and could only run towards the bridge while informing Song Heping of the situation at the stern.

Song Heping knew it was time for him to withdraw from the bow of the ship.

If Jiang Feng's side is lost, if Song Heping does not immediately escape and retreat to the bridge, he will easily be trapped on the front deck by being attacked from both sides. Even if he jumps into the sea, he will die.

Song Heping quickly ran up to the bridge, then looked down at the front deck, ready to kill anyone who came up.

The pirate speedboat at the bow soon adopted the stern attack strategy, trying to separate two boats to be parallel to the large ship, and then provide fire suppression on the left and right.

It was only at this moment that the effect of Song Heping's previous wave of grenade airburst attacks became apparent.

Song Heping used four grenades, killing six people and injuring more than a dozen.

Now, among the five boats at the bow, there are only more than ten people without injuries. What's more terrible is that the shrapnel has damaged the engines of two of the speedboats, causing them to leak oil. It is not impossible to separate two intact speedboats to suppress Song Heping, but after separating the two boats and people, all the people on board will be wounded, which is very unfavorable for climbing the ladder to board the ship.

Therefore, the pirates' attack from the bow was much weaker than that from the stern. They hesitated for a long time but failed to climb up. The speedboat that was detached had insufficient firepower and was quickly suppressed by Song Heping. Not only did he kill two of them, but Song also took two lives.

After Jiang Feng and Song Heping met at the bridge, they each held a direction and continued to block the pirates using the bridge as cover.

But there are many pirates after all.

After fighting in the bridge for more than ten minutes, the two men found that many pirates had come up from the stern, and many of them had entered the cabin from the stern.

This situation is very serious.

The cabins in the ship are all interconnected. If the two men continue to defend the bridge, the pirates will sneak up from the cabin below along the passage and quickly trap them to death in the bridge.

This would quickly leave them isolated. If the enemy came armed with RPGs and launched a barrage of attacks at the bridge, they would be left waiting for death. "Let's go down to the cabin."

Song Heping made his choice immediately.

"If we don't leave now, we'll all die in the driver's building."

Jiang Feng was so excited at this moment that he had no time to think about tactical arrangements.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about these things. With Song Heping around, he doesn't have to worry about commanding.

"it is good."

He didn't have time to think about it, and followed Song Heping downstairs into the cabin area.

There are many cabins in the cabin area. The cabins of "Mantianxing" are divided into three floors, each with different functions. Some are bedrooms, some are work cabins, and the power cabins are near the stern, so the area below is very complicated and the passages are interconnected.

After boarding the ship, Song Heping toured the cabins, carefully looked at the floor plan, and memorized the general structure in his mind.

He took Jiang Feng directly to the bottom level, and then groped his way along the passage towards the stern.

At this time, the power on the ship had been cut off and the locks were closed, so it was dark everywhere.

Song Heping wanted to drag the pirates who had no night vision equipment into the darkness. Moreover, the pirates had a total of 10 speedboats, and the total number of people was estimated to be more than . So far, about a dozen people were dead and at least more than were injured.

In other words, apart from the people who stayed on the boat to guard and control the speedboat, there were only about twenty pirates who could actually be sent out to fight against the two of them.

It is almost impossible for more than 20 people to fully control the three decks of such a large cargo ship.

Song Heping walked forward for a while and suddenly stopped.

He turned around and made a tactical sign to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng understood that the two of them were asked to stand on each side and retreat into the cabin next to them to wait, as there was someone in front.

The two of them quickly separated, hid in the cabin next to them, and blended into the darkness.

Since they all had night vision goggles, they could see each other.

Song Heping gestured to him again.

Jiang Feng understood and took out a stun grenade and held it in his hand.

Song Heping waited quietly in the darkness with an AKM assault rifle in hand.

Footsteps were heard in the darkness as thick as ink.

The pirates had not received professional military training, and their coordination and tactical movements were relatively crude. Although they knew they had to keep their voices down when walking, they just couldn't do it.

Slowly, Song Heping heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. When they were about ten meters away, he immediately signaled Jiang Feng on the opposite side to drop a bomb.

Jiang Feng immediately pulled out the safety and threw the stun grenade before going out.

The explosion delay of a stun grenade is very short, much shorter than the 3-5 seconds of a grenade, usually only 2 seconds.

When Jiang Feng threw, he threw it high instead of rolling it on the ground.

So before it landed, the stun grenade exploded in mid-air right in front of the pirates.

bang——

The bright light and loud sound produced by the stun grenade explosion caused the pirate closest to it to faint on the ground. The rest of the pirates instantly fell to the ground, their heads as clean and white as washed white cloth.

The pirate who was the farthest away was slightly less affected. His head was confused and disoriented, but he was not so weak that he fell to the ground and lost his fighting ability.

He was confused and panicked. He raised his gun and fired a volley of bullets without knowing where to go.

As a result, he had bad luck, or rather, his companions had bad luck too.

Not a single bullet hit the target, all hit the people in front...
