Chapter 303 Are you ready? Put on the bayonet
303
In the late 1960s, Japanese pirates had unique characteristics: most were short but sturdy, and their skin had been darkened and roughened by the sun and sea breeze after long periods of wandering at sea.
Their hair was casually tied back in a round curl, with a few strands flying freely in the wind, adding a touch of wildness and unruliness. Their eyes were filled with ferocity and greed, like hungry wolves seeing their prey, which made people shudder.
The pirates' equipment was quite sophisticated compared to the overall strength of Japan. Their ships were sturdy and flexible, with sharp bows that could easily cut through the waves and navigate complex sea conditions.
Advanced cannons were installed on both sides of the ship, and the black muzzles were facing Tang Yue and the others, emitting a cold metallic luster, as if they would spew out deadly flames at any time.
The pirates, either holding the Kawawa 64 rifle or the SCIK66 9mm submachine gun, grinned towards Tang Yue and his ship. These two guns were the latest weapons developed by Japan, well-made and powerful enough.
They also wore light but tough leather armor, which could protect them from attacks to a certain extent without hindering their movements on the ship.
As the pirate ship drew closer, the tension intensified, like an invisible net enveloping Tang Yue, Gu Yanxi, and the others. Everyone could sense the imminent outbreak of a thrilling battle, a matter of life and death.
When the pirate ship approached within range, the battle broke out instantly. The pirates opened fire without mercy, and the shells, with a sharp whistling sound, rained down on Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi's ship.
The shells launched huge columns of water from the sea, some of which were directed directly towards Tang Yue and his crew's ship. It was conceivable that even if the ship hadn't been hit by the shells, the water would have damaged it. The air was also filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi reacted quickly. Tang Yue used her spiritual power to create a transparent spiritual shield around the ship to protect it from the pirates' artillery fire.
The spiritual shield kept fluctuating and deforming under the impact of the shells. Tang Yue was only symbolically maintaining the spiritual shield from breaking. Just kidding, if the pirates felt there was no hope, would they still come to rob them?
The sound of artillery fire on the sea was now very loud, and the people in the cabin had begun to come out one after another to investigate the situation. Although these people were rescued by Tang Yue, Tang Yue did not have much emotion for them except sympathy.
Trust? It's far from that. It's not that Tang Yue is cold-blooded, but the fact that these people came to Japan is itself strange. Many were indeed abducted by the Japanese. But some also came secretly on fishing boats to make a little extra money.
If they hadn't encountered the Japanese oppression here, would they still miss their homeland so much? Human nature is complicated, and Tang Yue didn't dare to gamble.
Also, it is said that people's hearts are fickle. These people have nothing to do with her, and Tang Yue doesn't want to reveal too much in front of them.
Gu Yanxi led the crew, using the limited resources on board to resist. They piled heavy planks and debris against the side of the ship, creating a simple defensive structure to reduce the damage from direct hits.
At the same time, they found some iron rods, ropes and other items and made simple weapons, preparing to engage in close combat when the pirates boarded the ship.
Seeing that the artillery fire did not work quickly and the ship showed no signs of sinking, the pirates drove their boats quickly closer and tried to board the ship and rob it.
They skillfully maneuvered their boats, taking advantage of the ups and downs of the waves, cleverly avoiding the obstacles brought by the sea water and quickly closing in. As the distance shortened, the pirates, armed with various guns, fired wildly at the people on the boat.
Seeing that the pirates had stopped bombarding them with cannonballs, Tang Yue used her spiritual power to shield them. Bullets whizzed past, and from time to time, people were injured because they couldn't dodge in time, and painful groans echoed across the ship.
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. This is good. Only by knowing the difficulties of going home can one realize the value of home. This way, he will not be easily tempted to go to a foreign country to look for a better life.
However, Tang Yue just wanted to teach them a profound lesson, so she would naturally keep these people's names.
Facing the pirates' frenzied attack, Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi didn't flinch. Tang Yue flashed and appeared at the side of the ship like a ghost, brandishing his sword, the blade flashing with a cold light.
Her swordsmanship was sharp, and every swing of her sword could accurately deflect the pirates' bullets, while also counterattacking any approaching pirates. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, seamless and seamless, making the audience dazzled.
Gu Yanxi was not to be outdone. Holding a new Japanese pistol, he engaged in a fierce close combat with the pirates behind a shelter made of wooden boxes and other things.
His marksmanship was so accurate that every shot could be heard screaming from the pirate ship. Although the pirates were fierce, they had to be wary under Gu Yanxi's marksmanship, and for a while, they could not get close to their ship.
However, the number of pirates was very large. Tang Yue and his ship were gradually surrounded by several pirate ships, and the encirclement was shrinking.
Seeing that there were only one large and one small ship blocking the surrounded ships, and the others were hiding in the safe bunkers, these two people brought them a lot of pressure.
The pirates were enraged and began to rush towards the ship regardless of their lives. Some pirates even jumped into the sea and tried to approach the ship from underwater and climb onto the side.
Everyone on the boat worked together, attacking the approaching pirates with weapons such as sticks, and using forks, hammers and other tools to try to prevent the pirates from boarding the boat from underwater.
While everyone was busy dealing with attacks from other directions, a pirate secretly climbed onto the side of the ship. He held a bayonet and a fierce look in his eyes as he pounced on an elderly Chinese man.
The old man widened his eyes in horror. Stopping the pirates from boarding the ship had already consumed a lot of his energy, and now it was too late for him to dodge.
At this critical moment, Tang Yue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and swung out a stream of spiritual power directly at the pirate, knocking him away in an instant and causing him to fall heavily into the sea.
However, the pirates' attacks continued in waves, showing no sign of stopping. Their numbers were large, and their combat experience was extensive, so Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi gradually began to feel the strain.
Gu Yanxi didn't know why Tang Yue didn't use her full strength, but in his eyes, Tang Yue was still a child. He accepted the task of protecting her. No matter what, he must bring Tang Yue back to China safely.
Gu Yanxi changed the magazine four times in a row but still stopped moving. There was no other way, as the bullets he had brought with him were all used up. Next, he could only fight these guys with bayonets.
Putting the gun back on his waist, Gu Yanxi picked up a knife from the ground, looked in Tang Yue's direction, and sighed, "Let them all go back to the cabin. This place is not suitable for them to stay."
Tang Yue looked at Gu Yanxi and understood what he meant. Tang Yue's feeling towards Gu Yanxi changed immediately. This guy was still a comrade who could be trusted.
However, it didn't need to be that troublesome. The pirate ship was very close to their ship. If they were any closer, the pirates could really step onto their ship with just one big stride.
Tang Yue whispered to everyone, "Go back to the cabin."
No one wanted to leave. "No, benefactor, you and the gentleman alone can't defeat so many pirates."
"Yes, yes, benefactor, let us help you."
"Yes, we are not afraid of death. Even if we die, we will drag a few Japanese people down with us."
"Yes, these damned Japanese won't let us go home, so let's fight them."
"Yes, let's fight them."
Everyone's blood was instantly aroused. Tang Yue frowned. How could this form an invisible fighting spirit? Did these people really not want to go home?
Just as she was about to say something, she heard a mocking, half-doubting voice, "Oh, are these all Chinese?"
