Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Not a Single One Left _1

Seeing that the first cannon didn’t hit the target, Wang Ye didn’t stop and fired several more in succession.

By chance, one of the shots hit a speedboat dead-on.

The whole speedboat, including the nearly ten pirates on board, along with severed limbs and fragments of the destroyed boat, was consumed by flames and sent flying into the air!

The gruesome scene was so intense that even Wang Ye, hardened as he was, took pause...

However, he didn’t plan to let the remaining pirates escape unscathed just because of his slight moment of reluctance.

After all, these pirates weren’t innocent people.

Showing mercy to these men would be cruelty to the crew on the oil tanker!

If Wang Ye and his team hadn’t arrived in time, who knows what horrors could have happened on the tanker.

With a sigh, Wang Ye released the ship gun button and turned to Petrov, "Send a helicopter... destroy all the speedboats!"

Rossiyana, who was standing next to him, looked eager to join the fray. "Don’t we have heavy machine guns on the ship? We could just use them. I’d like to give it a shot."

The Ulan wasn’t a regular navy warship, but a tool of Wagner Security Company to maintain order. As such, the arrangement on the deck was different from typical warships.

For example, there was a heavy machine gun mounted atop the control tower!

Normally, a large cruiser like Ulan would be equipped with various missiles, not machine guns. These guns were essentially redundant.

.......

Wang Ye nodded; Rossiyana had come along for the ride and it would be a shame if she didn’t get to fire a single shot.

If she wanted to operate the machine gun, he would let her.

However, the speedboats were still quite a bit faster than the heavy cruiser.

Despite going full throttle to chase, the two remaining speedboats had already created quite a distance from the Ulan.

Petrov warned from the side, "We need to hurry. In about ten nautical miles, we’ll be entering the waters of Somalia."

This was exactly why the pirates were rampant in Somalia.

They attacked vulnerable merchant ships that were alone. Whenever they encountered a warship with an escort, they’d immediately run back to Somali waters.

Once they crossed that boundary, the chasing warships couldn’t follow without provoking a diplomatic dispute. It would be tantamount to infringing on another nation’s sovereignty.

Just as they were having this conversation, a muffled "bang bang bang" sound came from overhead. They then saw splashes of water around the fleeing speedboats in the distance!

It was clear that Rossiyana had started firing the heavy machine gun.

Wang Ye picked up his binoculars and took a look.

The barrage from the machine gun was undoubtedly denser than that of the ship gun, making it far easier to hit a target.

The pirates on the speedboats dared not raise their heads and had all ducked low, wishing they could hide under the boat...

Every now and then, a pirate would be hit by a bullet, its tremendous force almost tearing them apart~!

This was nothing short of a one-sided slaughter!

However, there was no other way. The pirates didn’t even think about retaliating.

A joke! They were being pursued by three warships, including one large cruiser.

They even started to suspect that it was the Black Sea Fleet of old Russia chasing them...

How could they resist? Their only hope was to reach their own territorial waters quickly. They believed that once inside, the chasers wouldn’t dare to follow.

Whether out of mercy or just poor marksmanship, Rossiyana didn’t manage to destroy the speedboats even after emptying an entire box of bullets, killing only three or four pirates. She stopped firing soon after.

"Boss, the pirates’ speedboats are nearing Somali waters. In another two or three minutes, they will enter the territorial waters. What should we..." Petrov reminded him again.

At this moment, Rossiyana had returned to Wang Ye’s side.

Flexing her arms, she laughed, "Gosh, I’m all numb from the recoil."

It was normal. Even for burly men, operating a heavy machine gun for a while could be exhausting, let alone a woman.

Although the recoil on the cruiser-mounted heavy machine gun wasn’t that intensive, it was still not something an ordinary woman could handle easily.

Wang Ye didn’t have time to banter. Instead, he turned to Petrov and said, "Send helicopters to blow up the remaining two speedboats with RPGs. Don’t spare a single person!"

When dealing with pirates, Wang Ye was ruthless. He felt no guilt issuing such orders.

Petrov was not a "saint" either. Upon hearing his boss’s order, he unhesitatingly picked up the radio and ordered the two armed helicopters still hovering in the sky to attack.

The helicopters were equipped with RPG-29s, an infamous, upgraded version of the old RPG-7.

Their power was immense!

Not only small speedboats, but even tanks could be destroyed with one shot of an RPG-29!

After receiving Petrov’s orders, the two helicopters quickly flew above the speedboats.

.......

On the remaining two speedboats, their pirate leader was hunched over, continually twisting his neck to look behind.

The previous round of cannon bombardment followed by machine gun fire had terrified him!

Feeling the wetness on his crotch, he realized he had urinated himself...

For all his years as a pirate, this was the first time he’d experienced such terror.

In his heart, he silently vowed that if he could survive this, he’d give up pirating once he got back to land...

In his past, he’d laugh at hostages shaking in fear, some of them even wetting themselves as he held them at gunpoint.

But now, facing imminent death himself, he finally understood the true terror of death!

"Boss, we’re almost safe!"

Seeing that they were about to enter Somalia’s waters and that there were even some fishing boats in the distance, the pirates on the speedboats somewhat let their guard down.

Before the pirate leader could even exhale, he found himself staring in horror at the two helicopters that were hovering above them at almost the same speed.

A foreboding feeling welled up inside his heart. He looked up with a face full of terror.

All he saw were two trails of white smoke streaking towards the two speedboats.

"RPGs!" He shouted in terror.

But there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as the two rocket trails gradually approached, coming closer and closer...

.......

Accompanied by two massive explosions, flames and massive splashes could be seen through Wang Ye’s binoculars.

He lowered his binoculars and took a deep breath.

It was over. Without even a direct confrontation, he estimated that around twenty-plus pirates had been wiped out...
