Chapter 402 Emergency Response
Liu Jinpeng didn't say anything to Ye Ling. Although he was anxious, he still calmly comforted her and told her to sleep. After hanging up the phone, Yiti had scanned the nearby waters. It reported: "There is a ship of unknown nationality 17 nautical miles northeast. Because it did not enter the 15 nautical miles cordon, it did not touch the island's alarm system." Yiti has sent reconnaissance stealth floating planes to investigate the situation, and information is transmitted back from time to time.
Liu Jinpeng couldn't sleep anymore. He got up and went downstairs to the stairwell on the first floor. The wall at the end could be removed. There was a downward passage below, which directly led to the control center of the entire island. After entering the control center, Lin Lin and Eva took their place, while Liu Jinpeng stood in front of a holographic image table the size of a pool table. The holographic images on the stage showed real-time information about the entire Wangxing Island and its surroundings.
The northeast of Wangxing Island is currently marked with an unknown nationality. From the outside, it should be a cargo ship, but Yiti reported that according to the floating aircraft troop reconnaissance, the freighter had obvious signs of modification, and it should have loaded a cargo vehicle and personnel in the cargo warehouse. The scanning results confirmed this. The ship's cargo warehouse was loaded with two m2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and there were 29 armed personnel standing or sitting.
"This is really a big deal," Liu Jinpeng also admired the ruthlessness of this unknown opponent. "In order to see the few people like Wangxingdao, they actually sent a reinforced platoon. It's really a slaughter. Should we welcome this type of person?"
"How do you want to entertain them?" Itty was curious about how his acting captain planned to treat these people.
"I remember there were reefs in that area. Let's fake a scene of the reef and leave it to you." Liu Jinpeng was not planning to do it for the time being. If he used an electromagnetic cannon, he would be able to kill the ship soon, but the armed forces of Wangxingdao were exposed. Before the situation was clear, he was used to holding a few more good cards in his hand, and of course he wouldn't mind taking it out if he should use it.
"I understand." After receiving the order, Eti used a floating aircraft to dive into the seabed, wrapped a stone about one meter in diameter with an anti-gravity field, and directly hit the waterline of the cargo ship's side. Perhaps because of insufficient acceleration, a hole as big as a head was opened at the bottom of the ship. Eti controlled the floating aircraft to put down the stone and pass through the hole, and happened to meet several crew members who rushed over.
Yiti was also a ruthless guy, so he ordered the floating plane soldiers to explode among the crew. The unlucky guys didn't understand why they exploded after hitting the reef until they died. The people on the ship were also surprised. The ship stopped here and got anchored and even hit the reef. Could it be that the reef could not move, and after hitting the reef, there was an explosion. They also nervously loaded their weapons, and for a moment they even thought they had been discovered by the target.
Soon the armed personnel realized that the place where the reef was hit was located in the lower part of the engine room, and due to the unknown explosion, the hole was not blocked quickly, which also meant that they had to abandon the ship. The problem was that after the abandonment of the ship, the m2 armored vehicles on the ship could not be sent to the island. It was still difficult for 29 armed personnel to control the entire island. At most, they could only launch a raid and call for support to the Shishi people.
The captain no longer cared about what the armed personnel thought. He is now in a hurry to prepare the life rafts that he had not used for a long time. After counting the number, he found that if he rode according to the prescribed number of people, the rafts of those armed personnel would not be enough, so they had to overload the life rafts.
Anyone who has been on the boat knows that if the ship sinks, it must leave the hull as soon as possible, otherwise the water flow driven can pull the life raft into the bottom of the water together. Therefore, even if it is an overloaded life raft, the people on it desperately use various tools to row the sea water, hoping to leave the water flow range of the wreck as soon as possible.
However, Itdy obviously would not let them go so easily. The second floating aircraft carrier carried a needle-punching tool and detonated nine life rafts below the sea level. Even if these people were stupid, they knew that the situation was wrong. However, they had no strength to complain, so they could only hold on to something that could help themselves and desperately paddled towards Wangxing Island.
The captain of the armed personnel did not forget to report to the rear, lying on a temporary floating bag, shouting with a satellite phone, cursing the unknown enemy at high speed, and saying, "If you can't come now, you can only collect the body for us! Idiot!"
Although it is midsummer, the cold sea water at midnight is still their biggest enemy. Some people keep slipping into the water because they are exhausted and never come up again. The remaining people are also looking like earth. The armed personnel don’t care about the equipment now. Some of them are starting to throw guns and ammunition into the sea, reducing the burden a little, otherwise they will lose their lives and have a hairy gun.
Although the leader wanted to stop his subordinates from doing this, he himself was a clay Buddha crossing the river, so he turned a blind eye. The incident happened at 17 nautical miles away from Wangxing Island, and it may take more than ten hours to swim with manpower. The impact of the tide has not been calculated yet. Basically, one in ten of them could survive, even if God blessed them.
The floating bags made of urgently made of lightweight materials, such as first aid supplies bags. As long as there is hollow stuff, they can make floating bags. However, due to the hasty incident, there are only 5 floating bags in more than 30 people. One guy even wanted to force another person to give up the floating bags with a gun. As a result, the two died together in a fight, and they sank into the sea and never saw them again. In the end, the floating bags became cheaper.
The leader finally stopped the spread of this trend with his prestige. He asked only those who were exhausted to have the opportunity to use floating bags, and there was a time limit so that everyone could take turns using floating bags to maintain their strength. Yiti originally wanted to continue making trouble and create more accidents, but Liu Jinpeng signaled it to let go. Anyway, in the end, there were 5 people who could come to Wangxing Island alive and clean up at will.
Although Yiti did not continue to make trouble, she was not idle. She sent 18 floating planes to reconnaise around Wangxing Island, and even didn't let go of the sea. Interestingly, the floating planes did not find any abnormality below the sea level. Instead, the floating planes attracted a real whale because of the light of the floating planes. This was a humpback whale. It was confused and watched a small ball of white light moving under the water, and then made a resonant sound and turned around and swam away.
Liu Jinpeng knew that humpback whales are social animals and generally do not move. There are usually several companions around a humpback whales. In May and June every year, humpback whales will transfer from warm waters such as Hawaii to colder waters near Alaska. Now is the time for humpback whales to transfer from the south to the north, and this humpback whales should have passed by Wangxing Island.
Ten minutes later, there were only 18 people left on the cargo ship, and there were two people who obviously had no strength to continue swimming. Liu Jinpeng no longer paid attention to these unlucky guys and ordered Yiti to arrest them all after they got ashore and wait for Tian Liye to send someone to take them away.
According to the satellite phone signal of the leader, Itti tracked to Los Angeles, USA, but the specific location is not clear yet. He can only wait for the leader to make a second call, or get the phone after he gets ashore before physically cracking it. Judging from the content of their call, the ship should have been stationed in front and there are other support behind it. It is not clear what kind of support it is.
Liu Jinpeng believes that the subsequent support can only be cargo ships or other things, because air monitoring in the Pacific is very frequent, and as long as it can fly, it is within the monitoring range of the navy. Speaking of this, he feels that he should notify the navy so as not to be able to explain any accidents.
Logically speaking, he should contact Wake Island directly in an emergency, but the situation seems not so tense now, and some of the things that happened just now are not clear, so he would call Guam first. The Guam Navy Command answered the phone with a major on duty. He heard that a modified cargo ship with unknown nationality stranded a rock around Wangxing Island, and there were armed personnel on the ship, so he immediately notified his boss.
His boss informed him layer by layer, and when Marshal He Feihu knew about this, almost an hour had passed. The old Marshal was so angry that he held his hat and cursed at the generals who came to report: "Are you all fools? If you know there is something happening there, you will notify me, but you don't know how to send a plane to see it first?"
The generals did not speak out, and a major general bravely stepped out and said, "Marson, we have dispatched the Qingdao on Wake Island, and the Blackbird Reconnaissance Team is on standby and can set off at any time."
He Feihu picked up the hat from the table and put it on it. He said with a grudge: "How good are you guys to put your mind on the main business. Now send the Blackbird out immediately, and you can't delay it for a moment." Seeing that some generals were a little disapproving, he said coldly, "Don't think this is a trivial matter. You have to know who is on the island, so that it won't be like this. If something happens, labor and capital will also have to eat the lead with you!"
When Liu Jinpeng got the news, it was already 1:49 am. The Blackbird Reconnaissance Plane formation was 3. It circled a few times over Wangxing Island, but no abnormalities were found. There was no other movement on the entire island except for a few lights. The Qingdao was still on the road and could not arrive at Wangxing Island until 5 am. However, the fighter formation departed from Guam was three as a flight and it took a round every half an hour to ensure air supremacy.
"This trip, military expenditure will increase by several million."
Liu Jinpeng was still in the mood to joke with Marshal He Feihu, but the old Marshal didn't have the intention to bicker with him: "What you said just now is true? The other party actually has two m2s. What a big deal. The combined price of these two cars is worth 5 Land War Tigers. After this matter is over, pick them up and see if they can be used."
The old man is really stingy. At this time, he didn't forget to pull the other party's vehicle into his plate. Liu Jinpeng was also a little amused and crying. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
