Chapter 1299: Qualified State Machine, Early Commendation Meeting
Xiang Yu, who was leading his men in a battle with great pleasure, could not believe his ears when he heard this order. At that moment, he thought that it was the electric current interference from the headset that made him hear it wrongly.
"No, Instructor Liu, why should we let them go? It's the last moment, and we can catch these pirate remnants in one fell swoop!" Xiang Yu was full of confusion and unwillingness, and spoke loudly into the headset. His eyes were fixed on the fleeing pirates in front of him, and his knuckles turned white due to the force of the gun in his hand.
Soon, Liu Xiaoshan's calm but unquestionable voice came from the headset: "Xiang Yu, you have to know that the fighting power of trapped beasts should not be underestimated. At the beach, there are people from the Jiaolong Special Forces waiting for those who escaped the net. You have almost killed them all, so let them handle the follow-up work and let the main force clean up the mess. Our goal is to eliminate the enemy and reduce unnecessary casualties as much as possible."
After hearing this explanation, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly thought about the pros and cons in his mind. Then, he felt that Liu Xiaoshan's words made sense. After all, there were still more than 200 pirates. If they wanted to keep them all, they would have to pay a heavy price. It would be better to let them go and let the large force deployed on the seashore to wipe them out. This would ensure the completion of the mission and minimize their own losses.
"Open the gap and let them come in." Xiang Yu gave a decisive order to his squad. Although there was a hint of reluctance in his voice, it was more of a soldier's determination to obey orders.
At the same time, Jiang Xiaoyu on the other side also received the same instruction. He did not hesitate at all and immediately asked someone to make way. The two teams cooperated very well at this moment, as if they were in sync with each other.
The pirates who were trying to break out saw a gap in front of them and immediately felt that they saw a glimmer of hope. They had been beaten to the point of abandoning their weapons and armor, and they could not care about anything else. Like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, they rushed towards the gap regardless of everything.
Although the pirate leader Edward was full of doubts and didn't understand why the enemy suddenly let them go, driven by his instinct for survival, he could only rush forward with the crowd.
Of course, Xiang Yu and Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't just not put up any resistance. According to the plan, they had people shoot at the pirates from behind. This would create the illusion that the enemy was too brave and difficult for them to stop, and it would also take the opportunity to kill some pirates who were running slower. For a while, gunshots rang out, and many pirates were shot and fell to the ground while fleeing.
The pirates really thought that it was their frantic resistance that broke through the gap, and the enemy was frightened by their bravery and gave way in fear. They had no idea that this was actually a well-designed trap that was leading them to destruction step by step.
This is the huge difference between a mob and an elite force. For these pirates, as long as they can run to the seashore, they feel that they have hope of escaping. After all, they have been in this sea area for a long time and are familiar with the environment here. Even if they can't find a ship, they are confident that they can escape with their diving skills.
At this moment, all of them had only one thought, which was to escape from this horrible place first.
Looking down from the sky, one can clearly see a group of 200 pirates, running desperately on the beach like ants on a hot pot. Their figures look extremely embarrassed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and their steps are flustered and hurried.
Liu Xiaoshan slowly put away the telescope in his hand and reported to Chen Jun into the headset: "Captain, the Jiaolong Special Forces are already on the beach, waiting for the last batch of pirates to fall into their trap. Do you need to come over and command the final annihilation battle?"
Chen Jun's relaxed voice came from the headset: "No need, you are the main force of this operation, I will just be the crowd watching the show."
Liu Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, then responded: "Yes!"
Afterwards, Chen Jun really became a "spectator" just as he said. He wandered around the island, moving as lightly as a ghost, and like an old lady strolling leisurely on the streets of a rural area, looking here and there. However, no one knew that behind his seemingly casual actions, he was actually observing the situation on the entire battlefield. If he encountered a situation where he needed to reload his gun, he would not hesitate to do so and send out "free bullets" to ensure that no pirate could escape the punishment of justice.
After strolling around the island, Chen Jun put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the beach.
At this moment, Edward and his companions had already rushed to the coast, panting. When they saw the ship docked at the shore, sparks of hope suddenly ignited in their eyes, and they rushed towards the ship regardless of everything, looking like a group of refugees in a panic.
However, just as they were about to board the ship, suddenly, a deafening roar broke the tranquility of the seaside. All the ships on the sea were instantly transformed into huge fireballs and burned fiercely. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sea surface, and thick smoke filled the air.
Some pirates who had boarded the ship were instantly engulfed by the fire and turned into firemen. They screamed miserably in despair and jumped into the sea without hesitation. Some pirates were even blown up and their limbs were broken. The scene was extremely tragic. Some people watched their hands and feet separated from their bodies, blood splattered everywhere, and the entire beach seemed to have turned into a Shura field.
The pirates who were not on board, including Edward, saw dozens of ships in front of them turn into fireballs in an instant. They were struck by lightning and collapsed on the beach in despair. They cried out in pain, and their voices sounded particularly shrill in the sea breeze. Some people were so scared that they stood there stupidly, with empty eyes and despair in their pupils.
"Impossible, impossible..." Edward knelt on the beach, staring at the burning flames, muttering to himself. At this moment, it was as if his soul had left his body, and he was completely lifeless. His body was also shattered in the explosion, blood continued to flow from the wounds, and the vitality was slipping away from his body bit by bit.
Not far away, Chen Jun watched this scene and nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied. He walked slowly to a coconut tree nearby, climbed up the tree nimbly, and cut down a coconut. Then, he sat aside, leisurely drinking coconut water while watching the tragic end of the pirates on the coast with interest.
"These two veterans can indeed be reused. They did not disappoint me..." Chen Jun whispered to himself, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
In Chen Jun's vision, Yang Rui had already rushed out with the members of the Jiaolong Special Forces like a tiger descending from the mountain, ready to end the fight. The guns in their hands continued to spew flames, and bullets rained down on the pirates who were still struggling. The members of the Jiaolong Special Forces had cold eyes and did not give the pirates a chance to surrender. In their view, surrender without killing has never been the style of the special forces. They shouldered the mission entrusted by the country, and what they had to do was to completely eliminate the enemy at all costs, and to root out the roots, even if it was the enemy's corpse, they would never miss the opportunity to shoot again.
For special forces, they are the sharpest blade of the country and a solid shield to safeguard the dignity and security of the country. On the battlefield, there is no room for mercy. Only by taking decisive action can we ensure the completion of the mission and protect the interests of the country and the people.
The sound of gunfire gradually became less frequent and finally stopped. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing waves of pungent smell of blood.
The beach had been dyed red with blood, and the sea had also been dyed a shocking red. Near the coast, the blood had even solidified. On the beach, there were still a few pirates who had survived. They were terrified and hurriedly took off their underwear. After the gunfire stopped, they raised it high as a white flag to surrender. They knelt on the ground, trembling like frightened quails, with their heads buried deep in the sand, not daring to raise their heads.
The battle was finally over. Instructors Liu Xiaoshan and Deng Jiuguang led the blood-soaked navy soldiers, carrying dozens of heavy boxes, and walked slowly outside. These boxes were filled with various items they had searched on the island.
Yang Rui walked forward curiously, looked at the boxes and asked, "Do you still have corpses in your boxes?"
Liu Xiaoshan smiled and replied, "No, they are all gold, silver and jewelry. They are all the ill-gotten gains that these pirates have robbed. They are worthless. Captain Yang, there are still some living hostages inside. We have found them on the island and in the dungeon. You can deal with them!"
After hearing this, Yang Rui's mouth twitched unconsciously several times, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: Good fellows, you made a fortune here, but let me clean up your mess. However, he also knew that the Jiaolong Special Forces was not the main force in this operation. They only fired a shot at the end, and basically played a supporting role. So, he didn't say anything more, just nodded, and continued to lead people inside.
Yang Rui led his team to find all the hostages one by one, and then arranged for them to take the plane that had been prepared long ago to leave this terrible place. For these hostages who had been struggling in despair for a long time, this rescue operation by the Yan country army was like giving them a second life.
Many women were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears. They knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Rui and others, and kept muttering various words of gratitude. Some even felt that it was to rescue them that Yan State sent out such a powerful army, and they had no way to repay this kindness.
"Hurry up and get on the plane and leave here." Although Yang Rui seemed a little indifferent on the surface, he was actually relieved that he had successfully rescued the hostages. He urged the hostages to board the plane, hoping that they could get away from this place full of painful memories as soon as possible.
After the hostages were safely on board, Yang Rui ordered the pirates' bodies to be gathered. He had a big fire lit on the beach, preparing to give the pirates a "free cremation." The raging fire gradually devoured the pirates' bodies, and a disgusting burnt smell filled the air.
During the cremation process, Chen Jun specially arranged for the navy soldiers who had just experienced the bloody battle to stand by and watch. There was no fear or pity in the eyes of the soldiers. They watched the bodies gradually turn into ashes in the flames. Some even sighed: "These pirates are pretty good..."
Chen Jun had been observing the soldiers' reactions, and after hearing such comments, he was finally relieved. After experiencing this brutal battle, these naval soldiers had no psychological burden, and their eyes became colder and more determined, as if all this was just their daily duty. This was exactly what Chen Jun wanted to see. For special forces, if they had not experienced the baptism of war, they would not be truly a machine that the country could trust.
……
Chen Jun led his troops back to the naval training ground. As soon as they arrived, Kang Tuan came out to greet them with a smile on his face. He walked quickly to the front of the team and gave everyone an international thumbs-up, his eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.
"You did a great job this time!" Kang Tuan said loudly, his voice full of passion. "Yesterday, I attended the Navy Conference. Commander Chang mentioned you at the conference and said that he would hold a big commendation meeting for you and reward you heroes!"
Chen Jun was a little surprised after hearing this. He had originally thought of waiting until the training period was over before going to the headquarters to invite Commander Chang to come over, but he didn't expect that the commander couldn't wait and took the initiative to propose a commendation meeting.
Since the higher-ups had already decided to hold a commendation meeting, Chen Jun naturally could not refuse. On that day, Chen Jun led his team to the headquarters in an orderly manner to attend this commendation meeting of extraordinary significance.
There was a special arrangement at the commendation meeting, which was to allow the soldiers to drink and relax. This was very necessary for the soldiers who had just experienced a brutal killing. A moderate amount of alcohol could help them relieve nervous pressure and reduce the occurrence of war syndrome. Just like Leng Feng and Long Xiaoyun, every time after completing a mission, they would be locked in the office and drink Maotai face to face. In fact, this was also a way to release stress.
In the military, most soldiers can drink, which seems to have become a tradition. At this moment, the navy soldiers who have experienced life-and-death battles were not polite and let go of their drinking, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation. The whole venue was filled with laughter and the sound of glasses clinking, as if it was a song of victory.
Commander Chang enthusiastically pulled Chen Jun into a small room. As soon as he entered the room, Commander Chang personally picked up the exquisite wine pot on the table and skillfully poured wine for Chen Jun. He always had a kind smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of "little thoughts" of wanting to get him drunk.
"Xiao Chen, you really brought great honor to our navy this time!" Commander Chang said with emotion as he poured wine, his tone full of pride, "More than 3,000 pirates were caught in a short time. This achievement is definitely a highlight in the glorious history of our navy! It's worth writing about!"
Chen Jun quickly stood up slightly, took the wine glass with both hands respectfully, and said modestly: "Commander Chang, you are too kind. This is the result of the soldiers' hard training and brave fighting on the battlefield. I just did some command and coordination work, which is not worth mentioning."
"Besides, I have already received your favors in advance. I will feel bad if I don't train a group of good soldiers."
"Ha ha……"
