As soon as Ding Xinghao's words fell, the people around him suddenly looked at him. Ding Xinghao frowned and said, "Why do you all look at me like this?" ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "You crow's mouth, everyone is afraid, maybe you can really touch the pirates in a while." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ding Xinghao laughed and scolded angrily: "Get out!" I'm just talking about things, you really think I'm a crow's mouth! ”

As soon as his words fell, the communications staff officer of the fleet headquarters ran out of the cabin and said loudly: "The observer of the Discovery has found a suspicious target, and it is directly in front of the fleet. ”

Ding Xinghao's face suddenly turned white, and he couldn't help but shiver. This is too evil, whatever my brother says, he will come to whatever he wants. Everyone else looked at him with incredulous expressions.

Song Tao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Sound the alarm......"

With the sound of a piercing whistle, the officers and men of several battleships began to get busy. Song Tao and everyone in the fleet headquarters also picked up the binoculars and ran to the bow of the ship and looked directly in front of the fleet.

Today's visibility was okay, Song Tao could vaguely see the outlines of several sailboats, he put down his binoculars and turned back to Van Bit and shouted: "How long will the fleet be able to reach the position of which ships?" ”

Van Bit raised his hand to look at his watch, then exchanged a moment with a non-commissioned officer next to him.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, at the current speed of about fifteen minutes."

Song Tao shouted: "Prepare for battle......"

The officers and men on the ship responded loudly, and the non-commissioned officers of various posts kept repeating the order. The gun windows of the four gun emplacements were opened, and all the gunners were in place. The fighters of the overseas brigade also carried four water-cooled heavy machine guns out of the hold and set them up on the gun racks on the side of the ship, and all the bullets were loaded.

Six sailing ships roared forward in column, their sails blown by the strong sea breeze. Song Tao held a telescope and kept observing the situation ahead. The situation ahead seemed to be that several sailing ships were besieging a ship.

The besieged ship was beaten badly. But it's still fighting back. Song Tao turned his head and shouted to Fan Bit beside him: "Old Fan, in the next battle, the entire fleet will be under your command." ”

Van Bit slightly touched the brim of his hat with his hand, and said solemnly: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander......"

After saying that, he turned and left the bow of the ship and began to use the radio to direct the fleet to fight. Several sailboats also saw them, and for a moment they were a little flustered. But the Far Eastern Ocean Exploration Fleet has managed to gain the upper hand.

The fleet suddenly split into two routes, taking advantage of the strong wind speed, blocking the escape routes of several sailboats. The battle ended in a short time.

Four armed merchant ships of more than 300 tons, which were the opponents of the Far Eastern Fleet in a hurry, had just sunk one, and the other three sailing ships all lowered their sails and surrendered. Van Bit shouted loudly: "Prepare to jump, beware of the enemy's trick ......"

The ruffians of the Mad Dog Brigade held several Russian-style riot shields erected on the side of the ship, and the commandos wore bulletproof vests. Holding two short-barreled double-barreled shotguns, he crouched over the edge of the ship.

The inside of the Far Eastern warship was inlaid with steel plates, which could prevent the enemy's shotgun and chain bullets, and even solid bullets could resist one or two rounds. In the past, during the sea training, the assault group had repeatedly practiced the operation of jumping from the wreck. It is usually composed of two groups of twelve members each, equipped with two explosion-proof shields, and five assaulters each equipped with two short-barreled double-barreled shotguns. Five more commandos were armed with a revolver and a short-barreled forty-mm grenade launcher.

These armed merchant ships are the fleets of several European merchant organizations, where is there still the courage to resist. Easily captured ships by the Far East. Song Tao's flagship did not participate in the jump. It leaned towards the ship, which had been beaten to a disfigured level.

It was an Arabian dhow, about thirty or forty meters, the mast had been broken in two, and the huge spinnaker was shattered. The hull of the ship was even more miserable, and many places were beaten to the ground. Faced with several huge sailboats, this ship also wisely chose to lower its sails. But Song Tao was not careless, and organized the commando team to prepare for the jump battle.

This Arabian dhow, a common dhow or brig in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean, has a pointed bow that protrudes forward and upward, and some have windows at the stern. Decorate. The most distinctive feature of this type of boat is the use of a jib (schoon), which is much larger than a crosssail when the coast or when the wind is light.

The dhows were the "warships" of the Arabs to dominate East Africa and the carriers of their Arab civilization. From the Byzantine era in the 5th century AD, dhows began to appear in the Eastern Mediterranean. This kind of sailing ship has more power to accept the wind and less resistance to advance, which is more suitable for ocean sailing, and is favored by Europeans. By the 15th century, Portugal, Spain, England, the Netherlands and other European countries competed to go to the East to explore treasures and build sailing ships for ocean voyages, all of which referred to and absorbed the advantages of Arabian dhows.

Probably the ship suffered heavy losses, but they did not resist and let the commandos board the ship. When the commando team took control of the opponent's warship, Song Tao also jumped onto the opponent's ship with his people.

The ship was littered with corpses and broken flesh, and it looked miserable. Suddenly, Wang Bo's shout came from the stern: "Commander, come ......"

Song Tao hurriedly turned around and came to the stern, only to see an Arab woman with a masked face, standing in front of the stern hatch, and several Arabs standing beside her, carrying a scimitar and an arquebus with Arab characteristics in her hand, looking at Song Tao with a nervous face. When he found Song Tao's Chinese face, his face softened a little.

Ding Xinghao walked up and skillfully said a few words to the woman opposite in Arabic. The Arab woman listened to Ding Xinghao's words, obviously froze, there was surprise in her eyes and she communicated with Ding Xinghao.

The Arab woman had a nice voice, obviously a girl, and although her face was covered, she could still feel that she was a beautiful woman. Everyone didn't expect Ding Xinghao to be able to speak Arabic, and he was so proficient, it seems that the guy who is engaged in intelligence has a bit of a trick in his hands.

Ding Xinghao communicated with the other party for a while, and then said to Song Tao: "They are Omanis, she is the daughter of a certain tribal chief, the Portuguese occupied her hometown, and her tribe was exiled to the sea. Her father had been fighting the Portuguese and had died at the hands of the Portuguese. So she and her tribesmen wandered around the coast of East Africa to attack the Portuguese ships. Don't underestimate them, they are also the Arab pirates of East Africa, but in order to take revenge, she robbed the Portuguese and European ships in the Indian Ocean.

This time, because they were scattered by the Portuguese fleet, the ship was singled out before they were targeted by these ships, because the sails were damaged and the personnel were heavy during the battle with the Portuguese, so they were almost picked up by these European merchant ships. She said they could pay a commission if we sent them home. ”

Song Tao glanced at the Arab girl opposite, then at Ding Xinghao, and said with a smile: "Lao Ding, how do I feel that when you talk to this girl, there is a smell of adultery." (To be continued......)
