Chapter 1298: Ghosts Wandering on the Battlefield
"FUCK! They are forcing us into a dead end, so let's fight to the death! Pass the order, everyone break out from the west!" Edward's eyes were red, his face was full of madness and despair, and he roared at the top of his lungs. At this moment, he was like a beast trapped in a trap, roaring desperately and fiercely, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with endless anger and unwillingness.
"Boss, the west is the direction to heaven according to legend. How about we break out in another direction?" A pirate suggested cautiously, with obvious trembling and fear in his voice.
Edward was stunned for a moment. In anger, he slapped him hard and roared, "Idiot! Didn't you hear that the explosions in the west were the smallest? The firepower there is relatively weaker. The west is our only way to break out! At this time, you still believe in ghosts and gods! Push those women to the front and block the bullets for us. Hurry!"
"Boss, this is bad... The women inside were taken out by the brothers outside to have fun, and they are not here now..."
Hearing this, Edward, who was already extremely anxious, became furious and his whole body was shaking violently, as if he was being shaken by an invisible force.
His face flushed red, like a ripe tomato that could explode at any time. "Then forget it! Get everyone together immediately and set up the heavy machine guns to clear the way. Be quick! Otherwise, when they complete the encirclement, we won't be able to escape to the west, let alone the west!" His roar echoed in the smoke-filled air, carrying endless anger and fear, making the ears of the surrounding pirates buzz.
"Yes!" The pirates were so frightened by Edward's momentum that they dared not say another word and hurriedly followed his orders. They ran around like frightened mice, their movements were hasty and panicky, and everyone's face was filled with fear and despair.
At this moment, these pirates are like ants on a hot pan, panicking and not knowing what to do. They are also like fish struggling desperately after falling into a fishing net, and are fleeing madly without regard for everything.
On the other hand, through real-time feedback from the hacker space, Chen Jun accurately grasped the direction of the pirates' escape.
He stood in a hidden high place, his eyes as sharp as torches, quietly watching everything on the battlefield. The sounds of gunfire and shouting around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, his eyes revealed a kind of calmness and confidence, as if everything was under his control.
"Want to break out from the west?" Chen Jun raised his lips slightly, revealing a sneer, which was full of disdain and ridicule for the enemy. He spoke calmly and forcefully into the headset, and his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every team member through the radio waves, "In the west, the pirates are trying their best to break out. Let me ask, who is responsible for guarding that direction?"
"Report, it is the War God Xiang Yu's team guarding the west."
"Teams, pay attention." Chen Jun's voice instantly became more dignified, with an unquestionable command tone. Every word hit the team members' hearts like a hammer. "Teams in all directions, quickly annihilate the enemy, and start encircling them from the west. Send these pirates to hell! Remember, the firepower must be fierce. Make sure to suppress their arrogance and never give them any chance to rebound."
"Understood!" Liu Xiaoshan, who was bloodshot, was so excited that his blood boiled. Looking back, he had never killed so happily when he was young. He immediately responded excitedly in the headset, his voice full of fighting spirit and excitement, and all the years of repression were released at this moment.
At present, Chen Jun has given Liu Xiaoshan and Deng Jiuguang absolute trust, and confidently handed over the command to these two experienced veterans. In his mind, these two veterans are like two sharp blades hidden in their sheaths. Although they are temporarily covered by the shadow of the system, their strength and experience should not be underestimated.
Now, Chen Jun gave them a chance to prove themselves again and let them continue to shine on the battlefield. Because he knew that as long as there were these excellent veterans, generation after generation of excellent recruits would thrive under their leadership, which was the fine tradition inherited by the Yan State Army.
The offensive in the west officially began.
Edward led the remaining pirates and fought like a trapped beast, using heavy machine guns like crazy, firing wildly at the breakout point in the west. Dense bullets poured out like raindrops, stirring up streaks of dust on the ground.
The small team led by Xiang Yu was suppressed by the pirates' fierce firepower. The soldiers could only lie tightly behind the bunkers, avoiding the rain of bullets, and could not raise their heads to fight back.
Even Jiang Xiaoyu's team, which had surrounded the enemy from the east, was suppressed by the fierce firepower and could not raise their heads.
It has to be said that the power unleashed by the pirates who had entered a rampage state should not be underestimated. Their heavy machine guns roared madly, forming a dense firepower network that made it difficult for the naval soldiers to break through.
"Captain Jiang, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. It's such a pity. If we had brought rocket launchers with us, we could have sent them directly to the sky!" A soldier who was suppressed and unable to move shouted anxiously, his eyes full of helplessness and anger.
He held the assault rifle tightly in his hand, but was unable to launch an effective counterattack against the enemy, and felt unwilling to give up.
"What should we do next? We can't let them rush out like this!" Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Xiaoyu. In their impression, this captain who usually called himself a hero always had a lot of clever ideas and some amazing special abilities, such as the ability to blow up empty bottles.
"Why are you all looking at me? I can't do anything!" Jiang Xiaoyu was so anxious that he was sweating and cursing, "Don't talk about heroes at this time, even if Jesus came, it would be useless! Now we can only wait for the enemy to run out of bullets, and then we will chase them and beat them up from behind!" In fact, Jiang Xiaoyu felt very aggrieved at the moment. Chen Jun trusted him so much and made him the captain, but facing the current predicament, he felt powerless.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind him, and then a calm voice sounded softly: "Just because of this problem, you start to complain about everything? This is not like your style."
"Captain, why are you here..." Jiang Xiaoyu saw that it was Chen Jun who came, and immediately felt ashamed. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for your trust in me. The enemy's firepower is too fierce. We..."
Chen Jun looked indifferent, looking at him calmly, then looking at the battlefield ahead where flames kept bursting out, then slowly glanced at the navy soldiers who were suppressed but still had unyielding eyes, shook his head gently and said: "Your thinking is still not open enough, and your vision is not big enough, which greatly limits your combat effectiveness. Who of you has better shooting skills, stand out half of you and follow me."
As the team leader, Jiang Xiaoyu knew the shooting skills of his team members very well. He immediately pointed out five people from the team to Chen Jun.
"Do you see that direction?" Chen Jun pointed to the right side of the house and said with a firm look, "The right side of the house is a key firing point. The five of you concentrate your firepower and shoot here. You must penetrate the house and eliminate the firing point inside. After that, don't worry about anything else. Just spread out and shoot in this direction. Don't worry about whether you hit it or not. Just fire with all your strength. In this way, their heavy machine guns will not be able to function normally. These pirates are just making a last crazy struggle. They don't have the courage to come over and operate the heavy machine guns again."
After hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness. The next moment, five guns spewed out flames at the same time, and bullets poured towards the west side of the house like a storm. In a short period of time, the dense bullets made the walls of the house full of holes, and the items in the house were smashed to pieces. Wood chips, dust and debris flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
Soon, the house was pierced by dense bullets, and the pirate operating the heavy machine gun inside was shot to death.
Inside the house, the other pirates wanted to rush over to regain control of the heavy machine gun, but the bullets scattered everywhere rained down like raindrops, frightening them so much that they dared not approach. One pirate who was a little braver was hit in the vitals by a stray bullet as soon as he showed his head. He rolled on the ground in pain, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.
This scene frightened the other pirates so much that they huddled in a corner and dared not show their heads again. Not long after, the heavy machine gun position completely stopped firing, and a gap appeared in the pirates' defense line instantly, and the entire team was in chaos. The originally neat defense line became chaotic, and the pirates began to flee everywhere, colliding with each other, completely losing their organization and command. Some pirates threw away their weapons in panic and tried to escape with their bare hands; some pirates blindly rushed in the wrong direction and fell into an even more dangerous situation.
"Excellent! This is even possible! It can scare these idiots to death! Oh, why didn't I think of this trick? This is simply raising the flag and taking advantage of the tiger's wind! It directly increases our combat power from 6,000 to 10,000!" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled with excitement when he saw this scene. He said to Chen Jun with admiration on his face, "Captain, you are indeed the leader of the martial arts world. You can unify the martial arts world with just one move. I really learned a lot from you!"
"Don't say these useless things." Chen Jun frowned slightly and said seriously, "The reason why you find it difficult is because you don't know yourself and the enemy clearly. Some things cannot always be limited to the past thinking mode. The enemy looks fierce, but in fact it is weak; and your advantage lies in bluffing, which makes the enemy unable to understand your true situation. If you let them lead you by the nose, you will never be able to keep up with their pace."
Chen Jun's words were like enlightenment, causing the soldiers to fall into deep thought.
"Captain, you are so right! Several guns fired together and actually had the effect of a rocket launcher! Our thinking is indeed too conservative, and the brothers have restricted themselves. It is true that you never stop learning!" A soldier said with emotion, his eyes revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Don't spout idioms at me!" Chen Jun said unhappily, "Let's sum up the lessons learned from this time. Jiang Xiaoyu, you have a flexible mind, much smarter than Zhang Chong. When you fight, you must show your strength and don't be so timid."
The next moment, Chen Jun turned around and left. For him, who had the strength of a hacker captain, the battle here was nothing but child's play. In his eyes, only top special forces like the Navy SEALs and Delta Force could really arouse his interest and desire for challenge. At this moment, Chen Jun was like a wandering ghost, shuttling across the battlefield. Wherever there was a need, he would appear there, dedicated to helping these rookies grow quickly.
After all, he would have to leave the naval base sooner or later. His ambitions were extremely great, and this piece of sky was just a short stop for him.
Chen Jun looked at the burning island and the pirates who were trapped like beasts, and couldn't help but sneer. In his opinion, these pirates had done so many evil things that they should have gone to hell long ago, and their current fate was just the retribution they deserved.
Next, Chen Jun continued to wander around the battlefield. With his rich practical experience, he patiently taught the soldiers how to give full play to their advantages, how to formulate combat strategies according to various terrains, and how to maximize the firepower of the machine guns in their hands. Especially in terms of teamwork, he taught the soldiers in detail how to cross-cover, assault coordination, etc. Chen Jun's practical experience is so rich that even if ten Liu Xiaoshans and Deng Jiuguangs were added together, they would not be able to match him in practical experience.
Under his on-site teaching, these green rookies were like grooms after their wedding night. After just one battle, they were reborn, and quickly transformed from ignorant rookies to skilled veterans. They gradually became familiar with the ever-changing battlefield and learned to use various clever tactics and postures to adapt to the cruel environment of modern warfare.
On the other side, Edward, who was once a gentleman pirate from the British Empire, was still trying to break out with the remaining troops. At this moment, he had lost all his manners. His eyes were full of fear and despair, and his former arrogance had disappeared without a trace.
They were forced to retreat step by step by the naval forces that were constantly surrounding them. The original large team of more than 3,000 people had now been killed and only less than 200 people were left. You know, he had been entrenched on this island for more than ten years and had worked hard to develop it to such a scale. But he never thought that everything he had would be gone in just one night. He recalled the glory of the past, those days of wanton plundering on the sea, and his heart was filled with regret and unwillingness.
"Boss, it's bad. Our front and rear routes have been cut off. There are enemies everywhere, and the heavy machine gun positions can't provide any cover. How can we break out?" The subordinate came to report, trembling.
The remaining pirates were all trembling and at a loss, feeling as if they were surrounded by enemies. Their boss did not look like Overlord. At this moment, he looked more like the frightened Yu Ji, with a pale face and a weak body.
If we can't get out, we'll die here... Boss, there are gunshots everywhere, the enemy is surrounding us...
Don't ask me, don't ask me... I don't know even if you ask... Edward seemed to shout a few words to everyone. He used to be a nobleman of the sun never sets. The money he inherited from the family business was slow and the business was not easy to do. By chance, he found that robbery was easy and fast to make money, so he changed his career. He has been in the business for more than ten years. Even the country's army can't do anything to him. The powerful East only gave him a verbal warning. The passing ships would kneel down when they heard his name Edward... Now, for the first time, he experienced the despair of being robbed. He was about to die.
At this moment, suddenly, a voice speaking English came from the front, which translated meant:
"Let them go..."
