Chapter 924 – Chapter 923, Escape
Yu Tian didn't understand what these pirates were shouting about. He only understood Faraday's words.
Faraday came back to his senses, he immediately shouted to his subordinates, "You bunch of bastards are still here to watch the show? Boss is talking about something. are the small fries qualified to listen? Hurry up and set up a defense on the rocks for me. Cover the people in front and retreat!"
The pirates at the side immediately came to their senses and scattered, looking at the big rocks climbing up.
Fleeing for their lives naturally could not be done in a swarm, especially when they were bitten by the enemy's tail.
No matter how fast people ran, they could not outrun bullets. Leaving their backs to the enemy was basically no different from leaving their lives to the enemy.
Therefore, the pirates could only cross cover and gradually retreat. This was the safest way to retreat.
However, the enemy's morale was high, and they were in hot pursuit. It was impossible for them to shake off the enemy with this method of cross-retreat. Someone had to stay behind to cover the rear, and only then would the others have a chance to escape.
There were bound to be deaths in war, and a portion of those who went on the battlefield would always be sacrificed.
Faraday had the courage to cut off a soldier's wrist, and the pirates were also able to accept the operation of a gecko cutting off its tail.
But the question was, who would be the one to cut off the tail?
Even the regular armies of many countries might not be willing to obey such an order, let alone an organization like the Pirates, who gathered together to make money.
Therefore, the pirates in these villages could only pull each other back. If anyone dared to escape alone, they would be shot to death by their own people without waiting for the enemy to catch up.
This was how they ran all the way here.
The pirates under Faraday didn't need to command. They climbed onto the surrounding reefs, found suitable shooting and hidden positions, and then began to counterattack the enemy.
In fact, the individual combat strength of the pirates wasn't too bad. At least they had more actual combat experience than many armies, and their courage was also much greater on the battlefield.
They knew that they should first stealthily poke their heads out from behind the reef to observe the movements of the enemy, and then find the target they should shoot at and the route they should seal. Only then did they unhurriedly raise their guns and fire a few shots.
The Pirates 'marksmanship wasn't too bad. At the very least, under such circumstances, they wouldn't casually waste their bullets. They wouldn 't randomly fire a whole shuttle of bullets.
Soldiers who could do such a thing usually felt that the burden on their bodies was too heavy. That was why they wanted to exhaust their bullets as much as possible.
This was usually because their side had the advantage. Their logistics were strong and their supplies were sufficient. They only needed to attack and did not need to defend.
The pirates did not enjoy the treatment of a large country's logistics. Naturally, they would not waste their ammunition.
There were only three types of situations where they fired: suppression, intimidation, and emergency situations where they engaged in close combat.
After these pirates laid on the reef, they began to fire intermittently. They even moved a few steps from time to time to change their shooting position.
Although the firing frequency wasn't high, it still slightly suppressed the enemy, immediately slowing down the enemy's attack.
Although General Abu's army was strong, they did not have much of an advantage in terms of light infantry.
In essence, his army was still a group of pirates. It was just that their equipment was slightly better, and their training was slightly more.
Being slightly better meant that there were a few more sniper rifles and light machine guns in the team.
The other soldiers still had one akka each.
Perhaps their Akka was a little newer, and the quality was a little better, including the quality of the bullets.
Speaking of this, it was necessary to spread some basic knowledge.
Although Akka was famous around the world and was very popular in many poor countries, in fact, the manufacturers had long been different, and the quality was also different.
Of course, the technology of this kind of gun was already mature, and there were not too many obstacles in production. The Akka that was produced basically did not have to worry too much about the quality problem, and under normal circumstances, it would not affect normal use.
The thing that was truly problematic was the bullets.
The eastern country once had a history of over a hundred years of decline. At that time, they encountered foreign invaders, and even the ability to produce weapons was almost non-existent.
Weapons were still alright. After all, they were not the things that had the most wear and tear. However, the consumption of ammunition was an astronomical figure.
Hence, there was something called a reload bullet. It was to pick up the shell that had been shot and reload it with the primer of the Gunpowder Bullet.
The production process was still relatively primitive. It was basically manual work. It was completely dependent on one's personal skills and proficiency.
Therefore, it was common to see bullets jammed, unable to fire, and even hand grenades with rotten eggs in such historical movies and TV shows..
If such a situation were to be seen in modern movies and TV shows, it would definitely be a comedy scene.
However, it was not uncommon in that era.
In fact, even in modern times, many backward countries did not have the ability to produce ammunition. The bullets they produced were really not reliable.
Not to mention the reloaded bullets, even if the original ones were fresh, they had to consider whether the manufacturers were reliable.
After all, this was a fatal thing. Once the bullets jammed, it could be a life.
However, the truth was that many bullets were not reliable. Those inexplicable manufacturers did not care about these occasional quality problems.
Who Didn't have a defective product in their production line?
Therefore, for a powerful warlord force like general Abu, the bullets they used were basically all from the stock of the Russian state.
As long as they weren't expired, they were definitely more reliable than some random bullets.
On the other hand, for the pirates like Faraday, the source of their weapons was somewhat unreliable.
Not only were they expensive, but the quality was also unreliable.
After less than two minutes, Yu Tian saw a swearing pirate lying behind the reef and withdrawing his bullets.
After such a delay, the enemy had at least one or two more firepower points, which in turn suppressed their own side. They even took the opportunity to push forward a few reefs.
In addition, one side attacked aggressively while the other side fled in a panic. This advantage and disadvantage would only become greater and greater.
In the end, there might even be a situation where they would flee.
This was a battlefield. Although it was only a very small battlefield, to many people, it was a very complicated thing.
Although Yu Tian was not familiar with the battlefield, he had a lot of strange knowledge.
With a little thought, he understood Faraday's current situation.
If this situation continued, Faraday wouldn't even be able to get close to his ship, let alone board it.
When they reached the side of the ship, even the ship would be blown up by the enemy.
Although general Abu didn't seem to use rpgs, Yu Tian believed that they must have brought a lot of them.
They were just waiting for the time when they needed to use them..
