The First Mate raised the telescope in his hand and saw that the gunfire was coming from the black-clad man who had just escaped the ship, chasing after the Taiwan Soldier who had fled earlier. Both sides were engaged in a fierce gun battle, with the Taiwan Soldiers fighting while retreating towards a Taiwan Army camp not far from the dock. This was strange; were they not on the same side?
At this moment, Qin Dali, dressed in a Taiwan Army uniform, was also mixed among the black-clad men, firing his weapon at the Taiwan Soldiers ahead. However, upon closer observation, it was clear that despite the dense gunfire, there were no casualties. It turned out that both sides had raised their guns slightly, and the bullets were all flying diagonally into the sky. As they neared the military camp stationed near the dock, Qin Dali suddenly took off his officer's uniform and threw it on the ground, leading the black-clad men to find cover nearby while continuing to fire upwards at the Taiwan Soldiers.
The military camp stationed near the dock had long heard the gunfire outside. A group of soldiers, led by an officer, left the camp and took cover to observe the situation. This camp was a unit of the Taiwan Military stationed near the dock to respond to emergencies. The leader was Xu Shaoqiang, who was observing from behind cover. Xu Shaoqiang was an old officer who had fought many hard battles throughout his life. However, due to his violent nature and disregard for military discipline, he had only managed to become a leader at over forty years old. Nevertheless, he was indeed a skilled fighter, and his troops were also good at combat. This is why the Taiwan Military entrusted such an important location as the dock to him for defense. The sudden outbreak of fighting left Xu Shaoqiang puzzled, prompting him to personally lead his troops to assess the situation.
The Taiwan Soldier being pursued by the black-clad men saw someone emerge from the military camp and shouted loudly for support from his allies. Upon seeing that those soldiers were wearing Taiwan Army uniforms, Xu Shaoqiang ordered someone to go speak with them. A soldier hurriedly ran over and once beside Xu Shaoqiang exclaimed loudly, "Report, sir! We are from the 114th Division of Abayer Military District. Today we were ordered to escort Limin Group's vehicles to the dock, but... but those bastards from Wales not only took our cargo but also sent people to hunt us down! Sir, please save us!"
"Damn it! What do those bastards think they're doing? Don't they know this is my territory?! If they provoke me, I won't let them leave the sea!" Xu Shaoqiang cursed loudly as he drew his pistol and prepared to charge over. The Chief of Staff quickly grabbed him and said, "Old Xu, that ship belongs to Y Country Moha Group. They've been coming here every month for years without incident. I think there's something fishy about this; we should report to higher-ups before making any decisions."
"Bah! Nonsense about having no incidents!" Xu Shaoqiang turned and glared at the Chief of Staff while continuing to curse: "I've never liked those sons of bitches! They think they're something special just because they're foreigners; they strut around on my turf! Now they even dare to touch our military personnel! This time I will make sure they suffer!"
The Chief of Staff was momentarily speechless by Xu Shaoqiang's words. Knowing his explosive temper, he refrained from further persuasion and could only say, "I think we should consult higher-ups first on how to handle this; otherwise, if we cause trouble, we won't be able to bear it."
"Nonsense! You're always so cautious," Xu Shaoqiang retorted angrily. "Don't you understand that speed is crucial in warfare? Our soldiers in Taiwan have been humiliated by those foreign devils! And you want to consult higher-ups? What a load of crap! Gather our troops immediately and let's charge over! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
"Yes, yes!" The Taiwan Soldier reporting the situation quickly added: "Those bastards are too much! They suddenly attacked us when we weren't paying attention; our Company Commander... has already been killed by them! Many brothers have died too! If we hadn't run fast enough, we might have all been blown up by their rocket launchers! Sir, please save us!"
"They even have rocket launchers?" A hint of excitement flashed across Xu Shaoqiang's face. It seemed he hadn't fought in a while and was itching for action; hearing that they had rocket launchers immediately piqued his interest as he eagerly asked, "What else do they have? Oh, I mean what kind of equipment do they possess?"
"Submachine guns; they're all equipped with submachine guns," replied the Taiwan Soldier. "It seems... it seems they also have sniper rifles, carbines, rocket launchers, and their skills are quite impressive—better trained than regular troops; they resemble marines."
"Oh?" The excitement on Xu Shaoqiang's face grew even more intense as he pretended to be serious while speaking to the Chief of Staff beside him: "Chief of Staff, did you hear that? This is clearly a foreign conspiracy; they're trying to use special forces against us—this is outright... invasion! Yes, invasion!" Finally finding a grand reason for deploying troops—to defend our Motherland and resist invasion—was such a noble and glorious mission! He then ignored the still hesitant Chief of Staff and commanded a nearby soldier: "Relay my orders as Leader! All soldiers prepare for combat! Follow me to storm the dock and feed those foreign devils peanuts! Oh right, send over two mortars as well! Let's see whether their rocket launchers are better or my mortars!"
The soldier hurried into the camp to relay the orders. Xu Shaoqiang patted the Taiwan Soldier on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother! Don't worry, I will make sure to wipe out those foreign devils completely! After the battle, I'll treat you to a drink!" He then glanced at the Chief of Staff beside him and leaned closer to the Taiwan Soldier's ear, saying softly, "To be honest, I owe you my thanks. It's been a long time since I've fought; staying in the barracks all day is driving me crazy. Your arrival is like a miracle cure! Hahaha..."
The Taiwan Soldier could only smile back and say, "Yes, yes! It's clear that the commander is a wise and powerful leader. With you leading, we will surely eliminate those foreign devils."
Soon, Xu Shaoqiang's troops were fully assembled. A regiment of soldiers gathered together, looking imposing and fierce. It was hard to understand why Xu Shaoqiang would mobilize his entire force just to deal with a few sailors. Even if they were to bite, they could probably take down over a hundred sailors on the Wales. Moreover, they had brought along two mortars; it seemed they intended to completely deal with the Wales.
Seeing the enemy's formation, Qin Dali realized his objective had been achieved and quickly ordered his brothers to retreat. Although his group was formidable, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of opponents. If they didn't leave now, they might not get away later. So they hurriedly fled back the way they came. Xu Shaoqiang saw Qin Dali and his men running away but did not order anyone to pursue or fire. He believed these people wouldn't escape; once they returned to their ship, he could take them all out at once.
Xu Shaoqiang led his troops confidently toward the dock. To him, this hardly counted as a battle; after all, they were just armed sailors—at most, they could be considered armed thugs. It would be easy for a regular army like his regiment to eliminate them. He was now contemplating whether to blow up the ship as well; sinking one wasn't a big deal, but it was currently docked and sinking it would obstruct navigation. Perhaps it would be better to keep it for future use; with some modifications, it could even serve as a mobile villa for leisurely trips at sea. Just thinking about such a life felt delightful!
Qin Dali quickly retreated with his men but did not head toward the dock where the Wales was moored as Xu Shaoqiang had imagined. Instead, they ran in the opposite direction along another path. Seeing this, Xu Shaoqiang feared they might escape and immediately ordered one of his companies to pursue them. The Taiwan Soldiers who had just been chased by the black-clad men quickly followed behind that company.
On deck, the First Mate observing through binoculars was startled when he saw a large group of Taiwan Soldiers marching toward the dock. He realized that those Taiwan Soldiers were going for reinforcements and noticed they were even bringing two mortars along. "What are they planning? If they're going to fight, let's see what they've got!" he thought. Did he really think that the well-equipped Wales would fear them? The First Mate hurried back to the bridge to command the remaining sailors to prepare for battle. With the captain already dead, he was now in charge and eager for chaos—let's fight!
Under the First Mate's command, the Wales quickly weighed anchor and prepared to sail out of port. It wasn't that he feared fighting against the Taiwan Army; rather, being docked meant that the Wales couldn't unleash its full power. The rapid-fire guns and anti-aircraft guns on board needed distance to maximize their effectiveness. As the Wales set sail, it entered a state of high readiness; suddenly, rows of dark cannon barrels emerged from both sides of the ship—these were its rapid-fire guns. The First Mate watched as the Taiwan Army drew closer and entered optimal firing range for rapid-fire cannons. He issued an order to fire through the command system.
With a thunderous roar from one side of the ship's cannons, shells flew toward the Taiwan Army's ranks in rapid succession. Chaos erupted among their ranks as cries filled the air. This new type of rapid-fire cannon had an extremely fast firing rate—essentially launching a shell every eight seconds. The structure of these shells was quite unique: a thin metal casing filled with 8-10 kilograms of metal pellets and a fuse inside. Ideally, these shells would detonate several meters above enemy infantry, raining down metal pellets like an oversized shotgun blast on unsuspecting Taiwan Soldiers who were caught off guard.
Xu Shaoqiang was stunned by this sudden barrage of shells. What kind of cargo ship from Y Country Moha Group was this? It was clearly an exceptionally well-equipped warship! They even had rapid-fire cannons—rows of them! The two mortars he brought seemed like mere firecrackers in comparison! This only further confirmed that these foreign devils were indeed invaders—and organized ones at that!
Where there is invasion, there is resistance! Xu Shaoqiang felt an overwhelming spirit arise within him as he resolved to fight against these foreign devils for his motherland and for his nation!
