Chapter 257 The Action Has Already Begun Silently

Although the mission was hastily assembled, all of them were special forces soldiers from the same brigade. After being defeated by the Dark Night team last time, Lei Dian and his men were bored and went to the Dark Night base to train together. Naturally, their abilities had improved significantly with Qin Feng's guidance.

While the two assault teams didn't have much synergy yet, they didn't need excessive communication. A glance or a few gestures were enough for them to understand each other.

* * *

In less than ten seconds from the start, the three figures completely disappeared from Qin Feng's sight.

After the three quickly departed, Qin Feng immediately turned to Old Fox and said, "You take your men to assault the coastal artillery. No matter what, do not let them fire, otherwise, our warships won't be able to come to pick up the people."

Coastal artillery?

Upon hearing this, Old Fox's expression immediately turned extremely serious.

This behemoth, the coastal artillery, was specifically designed to counter warships. It was a deadly adversary to warships, one of the most dangerous weapons.

If this behemoth wasn't silenced, the rescue warships likely wouldn't be able to get close. Without warship support, their 14 men, relying only on their firearms, would probably struggle to defeat such a large weapon.

Moreover, the pirates were numerous, and there were so many hostages to evacuate. If warships couldn't approach, evacuating all the hostages would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, the warships absolutely had to get in, which meant the coastal artillery had to be dealt with first.

Of course, prioritizing the elimination of large weapons was a crucial step in modern warfare. After all, no matter how powerful a person was, they couldn't withstand the bombardment of a cannon.

Old Fox understood these stakes very clearly and immediately replied with a grave expression, "Understood!"

With that, he turned and pointed to Xiao Mifeng and Da Niu behind him, calling out their names one by one: "You two, come with me!"

"Yes!" The two called out nodded in unison.

Then, they immediately followed Old Fox and charged out.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness.

At this point, only Wang Yanbing, Li Erniu, Xu Tianlong, and Song Kaifei from the Dark Night team, and Lei Dian's assault team member Harley, remained with Qin Feng.

Seeing the other team members leave, Wang Yanbing couldn't wait and asked, "Boss, quickly assign us a task. We're getting restless!"

Qin Feng nodded and said to Wang Yanbing, "You immediately lead your men into the left ridge line, stealthily make your way to the mountaintop, and cut off the radar system directly."

There was a radar system on the mountaintop?

Wang Yanbing's expression faltered slightly, and he immediately replied, "Understood!"

With that, he took Li Erniu and Xu Tianlong and immediately turned to run towards the left ridge line.

Each person who ran out knew that this would be a tough battle, yet each of them had a death-defying attitude. The moment they received Qin Feng's orders, they sprang into action.

After assigning personnel to each crucial position.

Qin Feng said to Song Kaifei and Harley behind him, "We will be ready to assault at any time. Remember to immediately occupy the firing positions at the canyon entrance and clear out anyone near the firing positions."

"Yes!" The remaining two grunted in unison.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's orders, a powerful aura erupted from everyone, and each of them was prepared for immediate combat.

Everyone in the Dark Night assault team and the Lei Dian assault team knew very well that whether they could conquer this island, which resembled a military base, depended on the success of the first wave of coordinated attacks.

The operation had now quietly begun.

As Qin Feng was making his arrangements, on the other side, where the trapped hostages were, the situation had become extremely chaotic. All the crew members and pirates were engaged in fierce confrontations.

A pirate with a brutish face and ferocious expression, angered by the hostages' resistance, roared, "Whoever dares to resist, this will be your fate!"

As he spoke, he raised his gun and fired at the ground.

*Bang!*

*Hiss...*

Everyone stared blankly at the pirate after hearing the gunshot, but their eyes were filled with anger and fear.

They all knew that if they truly fought the pirates with live ammunition, everyone here would die. Some of the more timid crew members trembled uncontrollably, filled with righteous indignation but too afraid to speak.

However, in the crowd, there was a middle-aged man filled with rage. To protect his woman, he fearlessly stood in front of her.

Seeing the situation, the pirate's face contorted with anger. He strode forward and yelled at the man, "Bastard, get out of the way."

With that, the pirate raised his gun, not to shoot, but to smash the butt of the gun hard into the man's head.

*Bang!*

With a loud thud, the pirate's gun butt struck the back of the man's head heavily. He immediately fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Ah, no..."

The woman, seeing her husband knocked out, cried out and hugged him, weeping uncontrollably. But the next moment, a pirate grabbed her and dragged her out of the wooden cage.

"Scoundrel, let go of me..."

The woman struggled and beat at the pirate, but as a weak woman, her efforts were utterly useless against the incredibly strong pirate. Amidst her cries, she was still dragged out.

Just as Qin Feng finished his arrangements, four women had already been forcibly dragged out of the cage by the pirates.

*Bang!*

After dragging the four women out, a pirate slammed the wooden door shut and locked it.

The women who were forcibly dragged away by the pirates let out earth-shattering cries.

"Help! Help..."

"Please let us go..."

"Help us..."

Cries filled everyone's ears. The pirates, hearing these sounds, became even more excited. Some pirates even rubbed their hands together eagerly, reaching out towards the women.

Inside the cage, the male counterparts watched this scene, their eyes almost spitting blood. They clenched their fists tightly, but were powerless.

One man, watching his wife being taken away, his eyes bloodshot, violently shook the incredibly sturdy wooden door and roared, "Beasts, let her go!"

The grim-faced pirate glanced back at the man, smiled coldly, and then raised his gun towards the cage and shouted, "Talking back, you want to talk back!"

With that, the pirate didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger.

*Bang!*

As the gunshot rang out, a bullet struck the man's arm, and flesh and blood flew.

"Ah!"

Under the intense pain, the man screamed and then fainted.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The moment the gunshot sounded, everyone was stunned by the noise. They could only stand there stiffly, daring not to resist any further, as they were ordinary people.

And so, they could only watch helplessly as all the female compatriots were forcibly taken away by the pirates.

There was nothing they could do...
