Tune the Pacific

Chapter 156 How about playing a game?

The long and narrow island of Palawan, like a natural barrier, separates the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea. The whole island is slender and narrow, and the widest part is only more than 30 kilometers.

On the northeast side of the island near the South China Sea, there is a deep and long bay. At the end of the bay is a place called Taitai. The whole bay is more than ten kilometers deep. The reefs are densely shoals, so you can only walk some small boats, and if it is not the old sea wolf who is familiar with the situation, it will not dare to drill in at all.

In addition, Taitai is close to the Su Luhai in the southeast, so everyone will choose to go in and out of the southeast to avoid this dangerous place. Obviously, Wang Tiger, the big pirate leader, is quite good at choosing the nest, at least it is convenient to run away from this place.

Wen Xiu looked at his watch. At this moment, he didn't have time to care about Wang Hu's group, who were eating, drinking and playing in Taitai. He looked up at the sun, and his face was a little anxious.

According to the telegram time, the troops who came to reinforce should have arrived yesterday, but they stayed for one night and have not been seen so far. Originally, he was not in a hurry, but according to the preliminary investigation, the group of Wang Hu has been in and out frequently in recent days, and other pirates have come to meet from time to time. It seems that he is preparing for a big operation, which is a good opportunity to annihide the other party.

Looking at the still empty sea, Wen Xiu licked his lips, reached into his pocket and took out the cigarette box. Only then did he find that he had already seen the bottom. Just as he wanted to go back to find someone to borrow one, suddenly a low gas motor sound came from a distance. Several flat-bottomed steamboats appeared on the sea level that was empty just now, and he quickly raised the distance. Mirror.

On the other side of the camera, three steamboats without any signs hit the waves and rushed to the shore. On the steamboat, several soldiers in the military uniforms of the Pacific Army were also pointing to the beach, as if they were considering landing there.

Seeing the familiar military uniform, Wen Xiu's heart warmed and waved to the night eagle behind him. The latter immediately took out two small flags that had already been prepared, stood at the flat height and made a few flag signals.

The other night eagles continued to hide until the contact signal was also typed on the opposite boat, and everyone was relieved.

"The reconnaissance company Meng Tao of the first battalion of the Third Lu Regiment was ordered to come to support."

"Wen Xiu, captain."

After a simple salute, Wen Xiu began to look at the reconnaissance company commander, who was about 30 years old. His eyebrows were thick and big, short and strong, and the muscles on his arms were clear. Obviously, he had been trained for a long time, and his face was dark and shiny.

Seeing Wen Xiu staring at his face, Meng Tao was not embarrassed. He took out a cigarette and handed it over: "I just soaked on Iwo Jima for two months, and it became like this." After saying that, he looked at the rifle on Wen Xiu's shoulder again, and his eyes lit up: "Captain Wen, I heard that you are very good at shooting?"

Wen Xiu took the cigarette and was not angry when he heard Meng Tao's slightly provocative tone. Anyway, the night eagle has been used as a target for many years, and deliberately raised his eyebrows: "You will see it."

After saying that, while enjoying smoking, he looked at the troops disembarating the ship. The headquarters was considerate. Night Eagle also had also conducted tropical training on Iwo Jima. The climate and environment there was similar to here. It was obviously the most appropriate to use this army that had just completed tropical jungle adaptation training to support.

After relieving smoking addiction, the soldiers on the three steamers also got off the ship one after another. Looking at these young faces with the same dark faces and rifles, Wenxiu suddenly frowned: "Why didn't you bring mortars? Didn't you send a telegram to the headquarters saying that the pirates had a stone castle cover?

It seems that Wen Xiu has this question. Meng Tao, who was thinking about whether to find a place to compare with the night eagle's number one sharpshooter, immediately waved his hand and called the soldier next to him carrying a one-meter-long thing like a black iron pipe. He took the iron pipe from his hand and introduced, "This The thing is called a blasting barrel, which has just been equipped. I heard that it is much more powerful than shells. This time, the headquarters asked us to bring it out for a test, saying that this thing, not to mention the stone bunker, can even the ash poured dark castle can be blown up!"

"Oh?" Wen Xiu took the blasting tube and found that there were threads at both ends. It seemed that this thing could still be connected and used. He was also a little curious, but at this moment, it was not the time to study it. He immediately returned it to the soldiers and walked side by side with Meng Tao to the hidden woods.

Entering the woods, Wen Xiu immediately took out the already marked map and said, "This bay is about ten kilometers deep, and there is a stone castle on both sides of the end. There is a pirate guard at night. Crossing the stone castle is the pirate's nest. I don't know what happened these days. Pirates from all over the country have gathered here, almost five Six hundred people."

"Their ships are all parked at the other end of the sea, so I'm going to divide the troops into two directions. The main force will touch it with me. The other team will block here before the battle to prevent the pirates from escaping in the chaos."

"All right, I'll arrange the traffic jam." Looking at the narrow mountain road, Meng Tao nodded. Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand, Wen Xiu immediately said solemnly, "Be careful of the natives around. Their relationship with pirates should not be that simple."

Turen?!

Meng Tao immediately understood the meaning of Wenxiu and nodded vigorously.

With the completion of Wenxiu's deployment, the last ray of sunshine disappeared at the end of the coastline, and the whole Nanyang suddenly fell into darkness--

"King Tiger, why haven't you continued to do it until now!"

In the spacious hall of Shuizhai, twelve master chairs are arranged on both sides, and a wide sandalwood master chair in the center. If it hadn't been for the lack of tiger skin, it would have been quite the posture of the ancient knot hall.

Wang Hu sat on the master's chair in the center, slantedly at him standing in front of him holding a Japanese knife, and his face was full of arrogant. After twitching the corners of his mouth, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Mr. Kikuno, I happen to have something to do here recently, but don't worry, as long as it's past tonight, I will definitely take all the boats to do it. A big vote!"

Hearing this, Kikuno, who was standing opposite, not only did not soften his face, but was even more angry. He slowly put his right hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Wang Hu's eyes!

After getting the gunboat and the Pacific Freight Company that Mr. Akashi finally got, this damned pig will never take action again. Every time he comes to him, he makes excuses. Is it like watching Mingshijun's failure to attack the Nanyang Transport Line in Honolulu?!

Looking at the flesh-faced pirate leader in front of him, Ye Ju suddenly found the biggest problem in Akashi Yuanjiro's plan, which was to ignore the original name that the Chinese people like to fight!

I thought that after getting the gunboat, this insatiable guy would focus all his attention on robbery. At that time, as long as he blew the wind next to him, he could continue to attack the southern sea route of Hawaii, but obviously the big pirate leader didn't think so. After he got an armed gunboat far beyond ordinary pirates, his ambition gradually expanded, and he was no longer satisfied with being a little pirate. First of all, he forced the locals nearby to attach to him. He became a local emperor on this sparsely populated island far away. Recently, he fell in love with those colleagues nearby and wanted to threaten others into a trap. Do it!

Although he did this, which is also a way to integrate forces, wild chrysanthemums can't wait. According to the domestic telegram, Hawaii has set up an escort team composed of more than a dozen small warships, which is undergoing the final integration in Ryukyu. Once they go south to start To escort the fleet, not to mention a gunboat, even if there are a few more of them, they will not be used, so we must take advantage of this gap period to launch more attacks!

So he has been urging again and again during this period regardless of the danger of exposure, but he didn't expect to get this kind of result today!

Seeing Kikuno holding the handle of the knife, several pirate soldiers behind Wang Hu also took out revolvers and aimed them at him, and the air in the hall suddenly became cold.

Sitting on the spacious master's chair, the smile on Wang Tiger's face gradually froze, and his eyes were even more raging, and his heart was constantly cursing. These damned people thought it was the past? Now they can't protect themselves, and they dare to threaten me!

But considering that there are still some places that I have to rely on each other, I finally reluctantly suppressed my anger and said coldly, "Mr. Kikuno, please don't worry, my king tiger is also a famous master on the road. Since I promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word. It's just that tonight is too important to me. I hope you can give me a few days.

Seeing the muzzle aimed at him, Kikuno also knew that he could not kill the other party by himself, so he had to let go of the handle: "Then I believe you once, but I also want to remind you one last time. Although this empire failed once, it does not mean that it will fail forever! Moreover, we still have hundreds of thousands of the most elite army!"

After saying that, Kikuno walked out by himself without waiting for the king and tiger to reply.

Looking at Juye's back, Wang Hu took a sip fiercely. After holding back for a long time, his anger suddenly burst out. He threw the tea cup at hand to the ground fiercely and shouted angrily, "Dog said, dare to threaten me. If I hadn't rely on you to ship it, I would have taken someone to do it to you first!"

The boss was angry, and the soldier behind him immediately smiled and said, "Master Hu calms his anger. Why are you angry with the Japanese bandit who have been blown up by others? It's important to prepare for tonight's big event earlier."

As soon as he heard the big event, Wang Hu immediately calmed down, and there was a look of pride on his face. He immediately asked, "Have those masters come?"

"It's all here. I'm resting at the dock at the moment."

"Good." Wang Hu shouted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Go, invite all the masters up the mountain and let the kitchen prepare some good wine and dishes. I'm going to have a good drink with you tonight."

When his men heard the order, they immediately prepared to go out and prepare. Wang Hu wanted to tell him again, but suddenly he came down outside the hall and reported, "Master Hu, Mr. Bao is here."

"Oh? What is he doing here? Come on, please!" Wang Hu frowned, and then ordered someone to invite him.

In a moment, a Chinese young man in native clothes walked into the hall. Wang Hu immediately got up to greet him and said with a smile, "Brother Bao, you are a rare guest."

The young man also immediately opened his arms, hugged Wang Tiger, and said with a smile, "Master Hu has been proud recently. I saw so many boats on the dock when I came here. Is today your good day for Master Hu?"

"Haha..."

The young man's words aroused Wang Hu's expectations for tonight. He couldn't help laughing proudly and said, "Brother Bao, you really have a coincidence. How about giving me a witness tonight?"

"Witness? Witness what?" The young man was stunned for a moment, remembered the reason why he came here, and said anxiously, "Master Hu, I'm afraid I can't. I'm here to pick up the goods today, and there is a tight rush."

At this time, Wang Hu didn't want others to be disappointed. He patted the young man on the shoulder and promised, "Don't worry, ten boxes of original French goods are piled up in the warehouse. Besides, I'm not bad for this night."

Hearing that there were ten boxes of goods this time, the young man suddenly showed joy on his face. He also knew the temper of Wang Tiger, so he just nodded: "Ok, since you said so, I will accompany you to the end. I won't get drunk tonight."

"Good, don't get drunk!"

"Haha..."--

"The pirates strengthened their vigilance. There were more than 30 people in each of the two stone castles. In addition, the gate of the cottage was also sealed. I also saw several mountain cannons."

The night eagle who came back from the reconnaissance squatted on the ground and marked the reconnaissance arrangement on the ground one by one by one by the light of the fire. Finally, he threw down the branches and said, "I can't touch it for the time being, so I don't know where the two machine guns are arranged."

Hearing that he didn't find the position of the machine gun, Wen Xiu immediately frowned.

In this raid, he was most worried about the two Maxim machine guns that disappeared with the Tianhai ship after the last attack of the fleet. At that time, the protection of the fleet was a security team that had only been trained for a few days. At the critical moment of life and death, they would certainly not destroy the machine guns like themselves, so these two machine guns must have fallen on the king tiger. In the hand.

The Maxim machine gun is not ordinary equipment. It is better than the Haas beg machine gun equipped by the French in Annan and the British in Malay and other places at this moment. The young master also saw this at that time and spent a lot of money to buy the patent.

He is not afraid of the mountain cannons arranged on the Zhaimen and stone forts. These old-fashioned front guns are not as powerful as grenades, but those two advanced machine guns are a great threat. If the pirates arrange them in the Zhaimen or other key positions, I'm afraid they will have to pay some price to shoot them down.

But now there is no way to wait. The pirates suddenly increased their guards. Something must have happened and they must do it immediately! So Wen Xiu turned his head and looked at Meng Tao, who was eager to try. Suddenly, he remembered his provocative words on the shore in the afternoon, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Meng, how about we play a game?"

"Game?" -

The sea dog walked to the stone castle step by step with his stomach and picking his teeth. When he saw his men slinging by the bonfire, he said angrily, "You son of a bitch, stand up and stare at me. I don't know if Master Hu has a big thing to do tonight? If something goes wrong, I can't guarantee you!"

The little head of the sonet was angry, and the pirates, who were chatting all over the world, got up lazily and stood up to the wall and pretended to look a few times. Seeing such slack work, the sea dog became more angry. He kicked the nearest pirate and drank: "It's paralyzed, this is also called staring eyes?"

Hearing the scolding, the dissatisfied pirates were even more angry, and one of them shouted, "Lao Lao, this bay is so deep that it is difficult to enter the boat in the daytime. Who the hell will come here? Besides, Mr. Hu and those masters have not discussed it once or twice. Let's see what's going on.

"Yes, it's dark. Who will come here to wander around?"

"That's right, those ships are in charge of the southwest, and there is not even a ghost here."

With the beginning, the rest of the pirates also shouted one after another. The fur seals became more popular, but the reason why the public's anger was also clear, and immediately lowered some voices: "I said, brothers, it's not brothers that make things difficult for you. Master Hu really takes good care of you. He said that there is a big thing to do tonight, and everyone must open their eyes wide."

"Hss..." Seeing the rare tone of the fur seal, the pirates couldn't help taking a breath and gathered around one after another: "Hao Hailao, what's going on tonight? Is Master Hu staring so closely?

"I'm not very clear, but I heard from the people around Hu Ye that today, our Hu Ye invited all the masters within a hundred miles, saying that they would join hands to do big business!"

"Big deal!" As soon as they heard about the big deal, the pirates' eyes suddenly lit up and asked one after another that it was the fat sheep, which was worth summoning all the leaders within a hundred miles. Was it the last Pacific Freight Company's fleet?

Seeing that everyone's appetite was raised, the sea dog moved a few steps towards the wall, looked at the dark outside, and was just about to make up a few lies to show off. Suddenly, the light flashed in the bushes not far away. As soon as there was a "clap" sound in my ear, I felt as if my eyebrows had been hit by a big hammer. My head turned back, and my eyes suddenly fell back.

The pirates who were waiting for the sea dog to speak were all stunned. They stared at the sea dog's head suddenly explode in front of them, like a watermelon hit by a hammer, and the blood mixed with pale brain splashed all over the ground.

"There is an enemy..."

After a while, the first pirate remembered the gunshot he had just heard. He suddenly looked up and wanted to shout, but the sound rolled less than half a circle in his throat. Another same voice exploded in his ear, and his head was directly cut off half like a fur seal.

Looking at their companions who fell down again, the pirates knew what had happened no matter how stupid they were. One of them hurriedly ran to the nearest gong, ready to knock on the gong to warn, but when their hands were about to touch the stick, the gunshots sounded again, and their heads exploded in front of the rest of the pirates again.

Three shots in a row were headshots, and the death was even more miserable. The rest of the pirates suddenly messed up, shouted, shouted, and hugged their heads and hid under the wall one after another, and never dared to show their heads again.

At this time, there was also a burst of panic from the stone castle in the distance. A bold guy saw through the cracks in the wall that the stone castle next door had long been in a mess, and the figures everywhere in the fire fell down in the intermittent gunfire at that time.

Even if there are a few bold people who are ready to fight back with guns, before they find the target, they will always be accurately shot by a bullet, and then either their heads will burst or dig out a big hole in their hearts.

The pirates hiding behind the wall have never seen such accurate shooting. They raised their guns and shot desperately in the distance. Suddenly, the stone castle exploded like fried beans around, but the intermittent light spots on the opposite side always wandered. In addition, no one dared to probe and aim at the death of the stone castle, so no one found that the foot of the stone castle. Something that has been stuffed into the shape of a few iron pipes, and there are wisps of smoke at the end of the pipe.

Bang!

Another crisp gunshot sounded from the side. Looking at the firelight, his eyebrows exploded a big hole and slowly fell down. Meng Tao's eyes straightened and he spat fiercely again.

"Damn it, it's a headshot again!"

Wen Xiu glanced at the demolition team that had been withdrawn, put away the gun and smiled: "Remember, you owe me ten packs of cigarettes!"

"Grass!"

"Come out, who the fuck encouraged me to bet just now?"
