The radar observer on the Oriental Princess suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack! It's a missile!"
Before his voice could even fade, the trajectory of the missile appeared on the large screen.
For an anti-ship missile, a distance of 15 kilometers meant only about 10 seconds!
The small anti-ship missile launched from the small boat was instantly only three to four kilometers away from the Oriental Princess. At this moment, the close-in weapon system on the Oriental Princess suddenly activated. Driven by electric motors, the multi-barreled Gatling gun suddenly aimed at the direction of the incoming missile. Almost instantaneously, over 2,000 rounds of 12.7mm caliber bullets were unleashed.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two small anti-ship missiles were shattered by the close-in weapons when they were about 3 kilometers away from the Oriental Princess.
"Missiles destroyed!" the radar operator shouted again.
"They attacked first, did you record it?" asked the first mate, Liu Chunhua.
"Yes, the record is complete!"
"In that case, counterattack begins!"
Sakoko chose to fire when the small boat was 15 kilometers away from the Oriental Princess. The maximum range of this missile was 20 kilometers, so firing at this distance was very suitable and safe.
He originally thought these two anti-ship missiles would heavily damage Ling Tian and his group, but he watched in disbelief as the missiles were detonated in mid-air long before they reached the other ship!
"Fuck!" Sakoko was so angry he cursed directly. He never expected this cargo ship to have something like a Gatling gun! This was simply insane.
"Continue firing, sink that damned ship!"
On the small boat, the remaining 4 missiles, trailing flames, flew towards the Oriental Princess.
A few seconds later, several close-in weapon systems on the Oriental Princess simultaneously spewed fire. The barrage of thousands of bullets quickly sealed off an entire airspace. These 4 missiles were blown up in mid-air!
The pirates on the three small boats were all stunned. They had never seen anything like this.
"Boss, should we turn back?" a pirate said to Sakoko.
"Turn back my ass! Get closer and use RPGs!"
"But, but, their ship has a Gatling gun..." The pirate was so anxious he almost cried.
A few rounds of 12.7mm bullets hitting their small boat would be enough to take out everyone on board!
"Idiot, as long as we stay more than 5 kilometers away, we can fire and run. Their range won't reach us!" Sakoko roared.
This guy, after all, had rich combat experience and had undergone rigorous military training at Black Ice Security Company. His command and combat skills were slightly better than his subordinates, but only slightly!
At this moment, on the Oriental Princess, the captain, Dongfang Yunying, revealed a murderous intent in her eyes, even a hint of fanaticism.
"How dare they attack my ship with missiles, how detestable!"
As Dongfang Yunying spoke, she directly pressed a button on the control console. A container on the deck opened in four directions, revealing a quad missile launcher inside!
These were quad HHQ short-to-medium range ship-to-ship missiles. The fire control radar quickly locked onto the three approaching small boats.
"Fire!"
With Dongfang Yunying's command, three rockets, trailing fire, directly pounced on the pirates' small boats.
Sakoko had thought of many ways to die, such as being sunk and drowned by the target cargo ship, being killed by a foreign warship, or dying from betrayal and infighting among his subordinates.
But he never imagined that his small boat would attract missiles!
A few seconds later, the three small boats turned into a ball of debris, and the people on board were all consumed by the flames.
Even though Sakoko had awakened his supernatural abilities and his body's resistance to damage was much stronger than that of ordinary people, he could not withstand the power of technology and became food for the fish in the sea!
"Target eliminated!" the radar operator said expressionlessly, as if destroying these three small boats with their weapons was not worth him getting excited about.
"Target locked: enemy amphibious assault ship. Two anti-ship missiles, one signal jamming missile!
Fire!"
As the order was given, the top of a container on the deck suddenly opened, revealing a six-tube vertical missile launch silo.
Immediately after, three missiles, launched sequentially, shot vertically into the sky!
After flying about ten meters, the steering thrusters at the tail of the missiles suddenly ignited, and the three missiles flew towards the Black Ice Security Company's amphibious assault ship, which was 30 kilometers away.
This type of anti-ship missile accelerates at the terminal phase before reaching the target, with a flight speed that can even reach Mach 3!
At such speeds, not to mention evasion, even interception would be futile!
"Boom! Boom!"
With two loud explosions, one missile hit the island of the amphibious assault ship, and the other missile directly hit the stern of the amphibious assault ship, causing a sympathetic explosion in the propulsion system!
Blazing fires instantly engulfed the ship, and the hull began to sink.
Following that, another missile split apart dozens of meters above the amphibious assault ship, scattering countless tiny metal fragments in the air, forming an electromagnetic shielding environment.
A few minutes later, the amphibious assault ship sank to the bottom of the ocean, and the surrounding electromagnetic shielding prevented them from transmitting any news!
"Target sunk!"
The radar operator's voice finally showed a hint of excitement. Taking down such a behemoth was truly a sense of accomplishment.
The ship's radar increased its power and began scanning the surrounding waters. After confirming that there were no other ships within 200 kilometers, the alert was lifted. The container covers were raised again, and the ship returned to its appearance as a cargo ship.
It was only at this point that Ling Tian learned what had happened from the ship's crew.
Xuanyuan Jie convened a meeting with everyone. Based on the intelligence gathered, it was easy to deduce that the instigator of this incident was the Americans!
The Americans viewed these Chinese people as major enemies and did not hesitate to use warships and underhanded tactics to eliminate them!
Everyone's mood was very heavy. They finally understood that this trip to Hell Paradise Island was not a golden opportunity or a vacation, but a deadly struggle for survival!
A week later, Ling Tian, who practiced on the deck every day, could feel that the weather was getting colder. They were now near the Antarctic Circle!
On this particular morning, Ling Tian received notification that they would be reaching their destination, Hell Paradise Island, in one hour.
