Chapter 11, no, machine guns? Is it that exciting?
Chapter 11, no, machine guns? Is it that exciting?
"What's wrong? My mouth is protected by the goddess Mazu; once I'm out at sea, I have no taboos!"
Guo Dagui was unaware that something had happened again and was still bragging.
"Boss Huo, Boss Huo, your men are here. Get ready."
Zhang Guohao entered the cabin, picked up the communicator, and called out to Boss Huo.
"What? They're here again? Which direction?"
Boss Huo replied through the communicator.
"Northwest, three ships."
Zhang Guohao had been staring at the other side. Just after he finished speaking, he saw sparks of light appearing on the opposite ship.
"Damn it, these bastards are using lethal force, they've even used firearms!"
Zhang Guohao immediately lowered his head, followed by a series of crisp sounds!
Sparks flew continuously from the collision of bullets on the cabin and the ship's side, and several windows in the cabin were shattered.
Fortunately, the guys on the ship were all squatting by the gunwale chatting, so the burst of bullets didn't hit anyone.
"Machine guns, machine guns! I recognize this noise. This isn't the Number Gang; it's pirates!"
The old captain had just followed Zhang Guohao in, and was now squatting down next to him, speaking with a slightly flustered air.
The past few decades have been a chaotic time, with defeated soldiers and bandits everywhere, and even pirates have upgraded their equipment.
The old captain had seen pirate raids a few times, but he never expected to run into one so close to the mainland from Hong Kong Island.
"Didn't Boss Huo prepare any weapons? Why don't we go head-to-head with them!"
Zhang Guohao asked the old captain.
"Where are we going to find weapons? We're running a legitimate business. If we bring firearms to the docks, those foreigners will come running, and if they seize the ships, none of us will have anything to eat!"
"Besides, the pirates in this area have all been bribed. It shouldn't be like this; they're starting fires right away. This isn't about money; it's about lives!"
The old captain looked up, glanced outside, and watched the three ships getting closer and closer.
"Then load it on! Our boat is bigger than theirs, let's ram them!"
Zhang Guohao also looked up slightly and glanced at the three ships opposite. They weren't big, but they were very fast. The distance between them would be covered in just a few minutes.
Yesterday I ran into some people from the Number Gang. We were both using melee weapons, so we could put up a fight. But if they had pulled out firearms, there would have been no way to deal with them.
The best course of action now is to charge forward, either smash the pirates' ship or run past them.
Zhang Guohao tends to ram enemy ships, and if given the chance, throw them all over the sea.
Otherwise, the enemy ships are fast and have firearms. Once they open fire, our ships, being larger, will become sitting ducks.
Even if the opponent's aim is poor, repeated hits will inevitably cause serious injury.
Moreover, it's uncertain whether the ship can withstand the load!
"Alright, run them over, you bastards! You dare try these tricks on Old Sea Wolf? I'll show you what I'm made of!"
The old captain, in a fit of rage, pulled his apprentice aside and took the helm himself.
"Ah Hao, ram them! Close the distance! Our ship is bigger, crush them!"
Boss Huo's voice also came through the communicator, clearly sharing the same thoughts as Zhang Guohao.
Boss Huo's five boats, three in front and two behind, formed a simple formation with very small gaps between them. If they collided with a small boat on the opposite side, they could crush it.
The problem is that the cargo ships are drafted too deep now, otherwise they would be taller than the ships on the other side. They are all made of iron, so when the smaller ships on the other side fire, the bullets are fired at an upward angle, so they are not afraid of the machine guns on the other side at all.
There were three ships opposite, each with a machine gun mounted on its bow. Together, the three machine guns fired bullets as if they were free, creating quite a spectacle.
The aim was so-so; most of the bullets hit the hull, like hail, clattering and popping.
Zhang Guohao and his brothers squatted there, not daring to look up.
Seeing that no one was retaliating, the gunfire from the other side intensified, and pistol and rifle shots rang out.
The gunfire intensified, and more and more bullets hit the ship's hull.
The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, and the shouts of the pirates on the opposite ship could be heard.
"Fire! Fire! Don't be so stingy with bullets, shoot them all down!"
"What are you afraid of! They still dare to ram us? They're just putting on an act. We've got weapons, let's take them down!"
"Reload! Reload! I'm going to have a blast today!"
The pirates on the opposite ship were clearly a rabble. There might be a few skilled ones, but most of them were useless. Not only could they not shoot accurately, but some were also afraid of Zhang Guohao's large ship.
However, the pirate leaders still had some influence, keeping their men in check and pushing up alongside the large ship.
These pirates were also gambling, gambling that the people on the big ship valued their lives!
Desperados always believe that if they risk their lives, others will be afraid.
This time, they're going to learn a good lesson!
"Ai Wu, take off your clothes!"
Zhang Guohao crouched down, reached the bow of the boat, and then asked Ai Wu for a jacket.
Although Ai Wu was a little confused, he was very clear about his position: to be Zhang Guohao's lackey. He took off his coat and handed it over.
"Bang!"
Just as Ai Wu's jacket was in Zhang Guohao's hands, the boat shook violently with a loud bang, and the two boats collided!
The firing from the other side paused noticeably; they clearly hadn't expected the people on that big ship to be so reckless!
At the very moment the two boats collided, while the boats were still rocking, Zhang Guohao, with Ai Wu's coat wrapped around his left hand, rushed out.
The small boat opposite Zhang Guohao was hit so badly that its bow was cracked and it was tilting very badly.
Zhang Guohao jumped up and precisely grabbed the machine gun with his left hand, snatching it away in one swift motion!
After firing the machine gun for half a day, the barrel was red-hot and extremely hot. Even with his coat on, Zhang Guohao's left hand felt very hot, and Ai Wu's coat smelled burnt.
"Da da da!"
Zhang Guohao turned the gun around, gripped the trigger, and refused to fire.
In the blink of an eye, a spray of blood appeared on the people on the small boat!
The two small boats next to it were also knocked over by the large ship, and many of the pirates on board were thrown into the sea.
"Dry!"
This time, Boss Huo was carrying a long bamboo pole, which he slammed down heavily on the pirates on the small boat opposite him!
This time, Boss Huo was well prepared, with twenty or thirty long bamboo poles on each boat. Now it's perfect, all of them can be put to use!
The pirates were really in trouble now. They were already bad at shooting, and then they hit the ship. They couldn't even stand up straight, and dozens of long bamboo poles kept hitting them on the head. Many of them were even pulled into the water!
Zhang Guohao watched as everyone on his small boat went into the water and started bubbling. Then he turned around and lit a torch at the boat next to him!
"Da da da!" "Da da da!" "Da da da!"
The rhythmic bursts of machine gun fire on the sea, accompanied by the irregular sounds of bamboo poles being struck, somehow managed to defeat the pirates who were armed with firearms!
