Chapter 905: –Twenty-one men
The wind and waves were strong.
The few boats were rocking to the strong waves.
Dong Xuebing had fired three rounds, and all of them were headshots. Some soldiers saw him firing from his hiding position, and his bullets got to brush past the hostages’ heads to hit the pirates. It was almost impossible to hit the pirates from the angle.
It might be lucky for the first and second time. But the third round was still a headshot. How can it be luck?
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing’s smoking barrel and was stunned.
The Colonel thought for a while and asked. “Who is that guy?”
An Officer was still shocked. “Commander, could he be sent from the military?”
“I did not receive news that the military or other departments are involved in this operation.” The Colonel frowned.
Another Officer said. “His marksmanship and how he used the knives to kill the pirates showed that he is not an ordinary person.”
This Officer was stating the obvious. How can an ordinary civilian be unfazed by guns? AK 47’s accuracy cannot be compared to a sniper rifle, and getting headshots in these conditions was almost impossible. Even the top sniper could not do that, let alone a crew from a cargo ship.
Those three shots shocked the soldiers.
The soldiers were different from the pirates. They received professional training and knew how difficult it was to hit those pirates’ heads with an AK 47 at that distance. This was not taking into account they were on a boat at sea with strong waves and wind.
Dong Xuebing did it!
This move shocked everyone.
Cargo ship.
Niu Dazhao and his men were covered in a cold sweat.
Niu Dazhao and two of his men felt the bullets fly past their faces and headed earlier. They could still feel the bullets’ heat on their heads. They looked at Dong Xuebing’s position and the three dead pirates behind them. They immediately knew Dong Xuebing had killed the pirates, and the bullets whizzed past their heads. If the bullets were off target by one centimeter, they would be dead.
Their first thought was, “Who the hell is Xiao Dong?”
What was Xiao Dong’s job? Why was he so good at fighting and guns?
Bang… bang… bang….
Bang… bang… bang….
Splinters flew from the obstacles where Dong Xuebing was hiding. The pirates behind him were firing at him.
More pirates were behind Dong Xuebing, and he could not turn to fire back. He waited for a while and saw no pirates rushing up to him. They were scared of his close combat skills. He felt slightly relaxed and shouted at the cargo ship’s crew. “Get on the floor!”
Niu Dazhao heard it and shouted. “Yes! Get down!”
The crew members immediately got onto the floor. Their hands were tied behind them, and they fell face down on the deck.
The two pirates on the cargo ship’s bridge stopped steering and ran out with their guns. One was the black pirate who had tied Dong Xuebing’s hands. He was carrying an AK 47, and the other was holding a handgun.
The black pirate shouted. “@#%@#^.”
Both of them raised their guns and were about to kill the hostages.
However, these two pirates were smarter. They saw the three dead pirates and quickly took cover behind a few wooden boxes before aiming at the hostages.
Since the Navy vessel had started firing, the Colonel could no longer hold back. He did not have time to think about this situation.
“Snipers! Fire!” The Colonel ordered.
Just when the two pirates hid, two shots were fired from the Navy vessel.
One shot hit the wooden box, sending wooden splinters flying everywhere, and the other bullet missed. The pirates were still alive.
The two snipers looked terrible, and I felt slightly embarrassed. The soldiers beside them knew they had tried their best.
The two pirates on the cargo ship were furious and clocked their guns to shoot the hostages.
The Colonel shouted. “Cover them, and don’t let those pirates shoot the hostages!”
Bang… bang… bang…. A few rounds were fired, and it missed.
The wind and waves got stronger, and it was too difficult to hit the target.
Dong Xuebing did not know about these, as he had never used an assault rifle or sniper rifle. He did not know the difficulties of using rifles in these conditions. He saw the Navy snipers missed and felt they were unreliable. How can you miss after shooting so many rounds? What are you all doing? How are you going to save anyone with your poor shooting skills? Are you all not embarrassed by yourself? Any police officer from Yan Tai County’s Public Security Bureau can do better than you all!
Laymen did not know how hard it was to hit the target.
Dong Xuebing was a layman and did not know the wind speed and rocking of the boat would affect the bullet’s trajectory. He had only used handguns before, and it was close-distant firing. He did not need to take the wind speed into account.
Dong Xuebing knew he could not rely on these soldiers. He can only depend on himself.
Under the two snipers' heavy gun power, those two pirates took cover behind the boxes. Dong Xuebing glanced at them and fired two shots.
One pirate collapsed immediately, and blood spurted from the black pirate’s head.
The first pirate was shot on his nose, and the other in his right eye.
These two shots looked easy, but Dong Xuebing had used BACK several times before hitting the target.
The two snipers were overjoyed when they saw the pirates were killed. They shouted. “Commander, the targets were eliminated!”
The Colonel ignored them and continued to look through his binoculars.
An Officer beside them sighed. “You two did not hit the targets. The pirates’ bodies fell towards the west. That means the bullets came from the east.”
The snipers realized it was Dong Xuebing who killed the pirates.
The snipers looked embarrassed, and the other soldiers were looking at them. An amateur’s marksmanship was better than their military’s snipers. This was too embarrassing.
The Colonel gave another order. “Provide support to that young man!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The snipers were forced to accept that Dong Xuebing was better than them and fired to provide cover for him.
Everyone knows Dong Xuebing was critical in this battle with the pirates. Whether the hostages can be saved would depend on him.
With the Navy vessel providing firepower support, the pirates on the main pirate boat slowed their firing. Dong Xuebing immediately felt less pressure.
It’s about time.
Dong Xuebing had to eliminate the rest of the pirates and not let them escape.
Dong Xuebing had not planned to let anyone of them off. The pirate captain should have brought all his men for this transaction, and other pirate groups would not take revenge for them if all of them had been killed. After all, the rivalry between pirate groups was fierce and Chinese ships didn’t need to worry about pirate attacks in the future. This pirate group must be eliminated.
Dong Xuebing glanced at the speedboats below him. one of them was trying to escape, and the other three speedboats were speeding towards the main pirate boat. They tried to group up with their captain and avoid the Navy vessel.
The escaping speedboat was speeding diagonally away from Dong Xuebing. He aimed with his Ak 47 and fired one round.
Bang!
The speed boat was still moving forward, but the pirate had fallen into the sea.
Immediately after firing that shot, Dong Xuebing jumped out from his cover, rolled on the deck once to avoid a bullet, and started firing with one hand.
Bang… bang… bang….
Three rounds were fired toward the three approaching speed boats.
The three pirates steering the speed boats were shot and collapsed with a shocked expressions.
After killing so many people, five pirates, including the captain, remained.
The pirates started shouting.
“#&&%*^.”
“#$%&&”
From their sounds, the pirates seemed to be getting anxious.
Suddenly, guns were firing nonstop at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing saw only a few pirates remain and did not attempt to take cover. He started to walk toward the pirates slowly.
The soldiers on the Navy vessel were shocked. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to walk toward the pirate without taking cover.
“Hurry, take cover!”
“Snipers!”
The Colonel and Officers started shouting and giving out orders.
To their surprise, Dong Xuebing dodged the bullets easily by moving his head and body slightly. He walked slowly toward the pirates, and no bullets could hit him. He fired four shots while walking, and four pirates fell to the deck.
Only the pirate captain remained.
When Dong Xuebing squeezed the trigger, he heard a ‘click’ sound. His Ak 47 magazine was empty.
The pirate captain was ecstatic as he aimed his gun at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing threw the Ak 47 aside and removed his third knife from his back. He tilted his body to dodge a bullet and threw his knife. The knife plunged into the pirate captain’s heart.
