The Aquilai sailed quietly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean. Its journey was simply from Alexandria to Port Said. Now it has left the coastline and entered the deep sea. However, it did not sail towards Lebanon as the command of the ship hijackers, but was directly north and headed on the waterway leading to the Aegean Sea.

Several hours had passed in the ship, and all the hostages were crowded in the small karaoke bar. Although the place was big enough, more than 400 people came in and the place immediately became smaller. Only one hijacker was left here to guard it. The hijackers knew that the action would last for a few days, and they were already changing shifts and resting on their physical strength.

According to the plan, it took more than a day to sail from here to enter the coastline of Israel. At that time, it would be safe and the most dangerous time left Egypt. They did not know that the ship did not sail towards Israel or Lebanon.

Since the Akilai accident, Egypt has sent helicopters and has been monitoring the ship's operations from a distance.

Looking at the sea water in front and the darkening sky, Edha in the cockpit, while monitoring the crew's driving, he looked outside. The damn helicopter was flying in the distance. He really wanted to kill one or two hostages to force the helicopter away.

They had locked the road to the lower deck, and the hostages were relatively concentrated, and their actions were impeccable.

They are also dealing with the worst possible situation. If armed personnel really come up to rescue them, then they will start shooting the hostage without hesitation.

The night gradually darkened, and the sea around it was pitch black. There was no moonlight.

The roar in the distance finally disappeared. After all, the helicopter had limited fuel and had no fuel anymore and had to return. Without anyone to monitor, Edha's nervous mood was a little relaxed.

In the south of eighty kilometers away they could not see, an Iraqi early warning aircraft was flying, which had taken over the surveillance of the helicopter.

After reaching an agreement with Mubarak, Kusai did not hesitate and immediately sent his forces to carry out the armed rescue work.

Originally, Kusai wanted to send the Rattlesnake special forces to dispatch, but the most skilled transportation tool for the Rattlesnake special forces was a helicopter. In such a dark night, when the helicopter landed from the opponent's head, it was relatively noise and was easily discovered by the opponent. Therefore, another special forces that also received anti-terrorism training, the Marine Corps, received this mission again.

The Marine Corps mainly performs maritime missions, which are relatively close to the purpose of their troops creation. In particular, Hades's sense of war was too strong. The last time the war in Syria made him very unsatisfied. There were no big battles to fight in the near future. Therefore, Kusai handed over this mission to him. Hades patted his chest and guaranteed that a hostage would not be injured.

At the same time, the Messiha Bureau has summarized all the information, especially the various information of this ship and the various layouts after the redecoration on the ship, and analyzed the places where the hostages may be detained. One is the front deck and the other is the three-story karaoke bar. During the day, Egyptian helicopters have found that there is no one on the deck, so the place where the hostages are detained is in that karaoke bar.

Although most of the hostages rescued this time were Westerners, Hades still had no complaints. He strictly implemented President Kusai's orders and formulated a careful action plan. This action must be successful and not failed!

In addition to visual search and surveillance, Egypt could hardly come up with any better means to monitor the hijacked cruise ship. Therefore, Kusai suggested that Mubarak agreed to Iraq's early warning aircraft passing over the Sinai Peninsula, entering the Mediterranean, and monitoring the cruise ship's navigation from a long distance to provide support for its own personnel's operations.

In later generations, Somali pirates were extremely rampant. Although there were many warships escorting, once the ship was hijacked by pirates, few countries were willing to use armed rescue methods. Most of them used ransom to exchange for safe return of hostages, because Somali pirates were familiar with the environment, skilled in technology, and act rashly, and there was a high possibility of failure.

However, the militants who were hijacked this time did not have so many means. They were probably not even familiar with sailing. No matter how they looked, the routes of their ships were wrong. Do they want to hijack the ships to Crete or Cyprus?

In this operation, there were not too many people dispatched. Hades chose twenty of the most capable personnel from his own hands to form the rescue force, carrying his own various equipment, and their means of transportation were helicopters and rubber boats.

In the darkened night sky, two helicopters were flying in the eastern Mediterranean. Although they could only hear the roar of the propeller stirring the air, they could also be judged by this huge roar. This is definitely a large helicopter. Only when they are very close can they be seen that this helicopter is somewhat different from ordinary helicopters. They have no tail wings and are two huge top propellers in front and back.

This is the ch47 Chinook helicopter equipped by Iraq.

Iraq first came into contact with this kind of helicopter during the Iraq-Iraq War. President Kusai personally seized an Iranian helicopter in the battle. This helicopter has a great load capacity and can even hang vehicles or artillery. This is a capability that no Iraqi helicopter has.

Therefore, Kusai has always hoped to introduce such helicopters from the United States. After responding to the US oil production increase activities, Iraq gained favor from the United States and imported the first batch of thirty such helicopters. The popularity of this helicopter is no less than that of Blackhawk helicopters.

Under Hades' efforts, the Marine Corps also divided two, and in this operation, these two helicopters played a great role.

Pilots wearing night vision devices are flying steadily on the sea surface. This helicopter navigation equipment is advanced. Even if you fly by the instrument alone, you can accurately find your flight route. What's more, they also have the help of night vision devices and the information conveyed by the early warning aircraft continuously.

After equipping the Iraqi army, the helicopters simultaneously installed Iraq's military data links.

"Continue to fly forward twenty nautical miles, then fly five nautical miles in the direction of nine o'clock, and on the route of that cruise ship, that is the most suitable airdrop area!" Captain ch47 said to the pilot on the left through the data link of the early warning aircraft.

The two helicopters flew over the sea and left nothing except the sea that was harassed by the propeller.

When flying at ultra-low altitude, they were not avoiding the observation of the armed personnel of the hijacked ship. There was no radar on the Akilai cruise ship and they could not find them at all. They did this to prevent being discovered by others, especially Israel in the east. Israel without early warning aircraft is impossible to find them flying against the sea.

In the cabin, Hades, whose face was covered with camouflage, looked at his subordinates fiercely: "I just re-checked the action. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The team members said that they had always been full of love for their captain, especially in this mission, they overshadowed the Rattlesnake Special Forces, which made them feel proud.

"Check the equipment, and in the cabin for a while, our radio device may not be very useful. We rely more on gestures. What I need is that we cannot hurt a hostage during the capture of the robbers." Hades said.

In this operation, they brought a lot of professional equipment, which is a tactic when dealing with pirate problems, and they have conducted many trainings.

Dealing with pirates is a part-time job in the Marine Corps, but now, dealing with armed personnel hijacking ships, their action plan is somewhat similar to pirates.

After the inspection, I heard a voice coming from the cabin in front: "It is about to arrive in the airdrop waters."

Hades looked out and saw nothing except the dark sea, and their battle was about to begin.

If someone can see clearly from the darkness now, you can see that in addition to the special helicopter, the helicopter is also special. When it is flying, it also has a special thing hanging!

That thing is a rubber boat!

Rubber boats are a means of transportation for the Marine Corps, which gave them the means of sailing at sea. They cannot land directly with helicopters. Otherwise, this task would be the Rattlesnake Special Forces. They need to take a rubber boat and secretly approach each other. Looking at the entire Iraqi armed forces, they are the only ones who have this skill.

The Marine Corps has equipped a total of two types of rubber boats. One is small, all made of natural rubber. Natural rubber has wear resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance, acid and alkali resistance, tear resistance, flexural crack resistance, good air tightness, high strength, light weight and other qualities. It is the best choice for rubber boats. This inflatable rubber boat is convenient to carry after deflation, and it is inflatable first when used. However, this rubber boat is only suitable for use on the coast, and it does not have an engine, so it can only be paddled manually. This rubber boat is not suitable for current working conditions.

Another type is a large rubber boat, which is also made of rubber, but this type of rubber cannot be folded because the bottom is not the same rubber as the side, but a hard bottom made of aviation aluminum alloy material, and there is an engine at the rear. This large rubber boat is convenient for use in low sea conditions. What they brought this time was this rubber boat, so it can only be hung on the belly of the ch47 helicopter.

After the helicopter continued to fly for two minutes, it began to hover, and then continued to slowly lower the altitude. (To be continued...)
