Chapter 119: Sinking
Just now, two patrol boats quickly approached John's area. The Abkhazians on the patrol boat received instructions from Semolov and knew that they had entered the attack zone and could find the target and start attacking at any time, so they quickly reduced their speed and focused all their attention on the west bank, just as the searchlights from the ship hit the woods on the west bank. A rocket suddenly flew out of the dark bushes on the east bank of the river.
This made it impossible for the patrol boat on the river to dodge, and could only watch as the rocket hit the cockpit of the patrol boat accurately.
The rocket pierced the cockpit and exploded directly in the cabin. The entire cockpit, along with the people inside and outside, was affected by the explosion. The heavy powder and broken bones disappeared, and the light one was directly blown out by the explosion and fell into the water, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The patrol boat itself was completely out of control, and after being bombed beyond recognition, it slowly drifted downstream with the current.
No sooner had the explosion subsided than a burst of gunfire rang out on the east bank. The barrage of bullets hit the other patrol boat directly. The people on this boat hadn't recovered from the explosion just now, and they didn't even understand what was going on for a while, after all, everyone's attention was on the west coast before, and they didn't see the rocket that suddenly flew out. So it wasn't until the gunfire on the east shore rang out and the bullets hit their ship that they really reflected what was going on.
But it was still too late, although someone immediately turned the heavy machine gun equipped on the ship after realizing that it was under attack and tried to shoot at the east bank, but before the muzzle of the gun was facing the east side, the dense bullets hit the heavy machine gun, and while the heavy machine gun was hit by bullets continuously, the person who tried to control the machine gun was naturally not spared, only to see that he was shot several times in an instant, and after a while, he fell into the river.
And the rest of the people lost the courage to resist after seeing that they were dying even if they tried to resist and died faster. Someone shouted towards the cockpit, asking to get out of here as soon as possible. But there was no response at all, and the cockpit was pitch black at the moment, and nothing could be seen.
Seeing that there was no response in the cockpit, someone mustered up the courage to quickly climb over, but after climbing into the cockpit, he only saw the corpse that had long been killed and the radio station that kept calling on the console.
The man quickly grabbed the phone, and without waiting for what the other party wanted to say to them, he shouted, "We've been attacked!" Attacked! Ship No. 1 is finished, request for support, request for support! ”
Semolov, who was contacting them on the road, was at first slightly relieved to hear someone respond, but just as he tried to get the Abkhaz man in front of him to tell the people on the river to stabilize and describe the situation first, the contact was suddenly interrupted, and then an explosion was heard again from the river.
"It's over." Semolov looked at the place where there had just flashed a burst of fire, and could not help but say, no matter what happened now, the two patrol boats he asked the Abkhazians to provide were finished. It ended inexplicably without playing any role. Why is that? What's going on?
Semolov didn't have time to think about it and immediately contacted Chemov, this was the first time he took the initiative to contact Chemov after he started to act, and at this moment he finally made himself feel the value of Chemov.
"Captain Chemov! What just happened? I need to know what the hell just happened? Semolov asked.
As for the sudden absence of the two patrol boats, Chemov didn't really know what was going on. The only thing he knew was that the people who attacked them were coming from the other side, and the people hiding on the other side suddenly launched an attack on the two boats on the river.
So he immediately said, "On the other side, there are people hiding from them on the other side." They had been ready for a long time, and now those two ships are finished. ”
Hearing Chemov's description, Semolov suddenly realized that the Yankees suddenly leaned towards the river, perhaps not to cross the river immediately, but to ensure their own safety. They had men on the other side so that they could cover them in the event of a pursuit like their own.
Thinking of this, Semolov immediately said: "What are those Yankees doing now?" Did you start running again? ”
Hearing Semolov ask this, Chemov immediately looked ahead. I saw that the Yankees did not move at this moment, but stopped there as if waiting for something.
"They are still in place and did not leave immediately!" Chemov reported to Semolov.
Hearing that the Yankees didn't move, Semolov immediately looked at the Abkhaz man beside him and said, "Fire!" Get ready to fire! ”
"Fire?" The Abkhazians who were sent to cooperate with Semolov were a little embarrassed for a while: "Where is our goal. We don't have a goal at all. ”
Semolov was in a bad mood at the moment, and it was clear that his calculations, which he thought were good, had once again gone awry. He didn't expect that these Yankees had actually hidden men on the other side of the river and used them specifically to deal with their pursuers. Now he had to think about what to do, how to intercept the Yankees before they fled.
"You yourself and my people liaise. He'll tell you where the target is. As he spoke, Semolov threw the radio to the Abkhazians, while he quickly pulled out a cigarette and walked to the other side of the car to think about it.
And in the woods, while Semolov was trying to figure out what exactly happened to him. John was also in contact with Thune on the other side. The two ships coming from the river were obviously a great threat to their own people. Not only did they carry searchlights, but the heavy machine guns would also be a nightmare for their men. So at this moment, when he saw that both ships had been taken out, and one of them was slowly sinking, John couldn't help but cheer for his men on the other side. But at this moment, he didn't dare to move, because he was sure that the opponent's action could not be the action of one side alone, and they would definitely be a combination punch. In other words, after an attack on the river, there will be action on land. Even in John's mind, the purpose of the two patrol boats on the river is more likely to be to drive his people deep into the woods so that they can not easily cross the river, or to suppress themselves, when they have no time to care, someone will quietly bypass him to complete the outflanking of his own group.
So he had to make some more arrangements, and see the situation clearly and coordinate with the Thun on the other side of the river before moving on.
