Chapter 3713

In this fleet of the Special Warfare Division, there are already many ships equipped with steam power systems, accounting for about one-third of the ships with a displacement of more than 500 tons.

However, considering the machine life and maintenance issues, sails are still used as the main power in non-combat states, and steam power will only be activated during wartime emergency and actual combat training.

The intermediate range from Zhenhai Port in the Gulf of Aden to Fubo Port in the Persian Gulf is five or six thousand miles, which actually exceeds the range of the steam power system. The coal used as a bait on the ship is only enough to burn the boiler for two days, and the integrated supply ship loading coal and fresh water will definitely not keep up with the combat ships that are moving forward at full speed.

The only place on the way where you can replenish coal and fresh water at the same time is Suhar Port located on the east side of the Strait of Hormuz. It is actually quite close to Fubo Port, and it will take at least half a day to stop and recharge, which is even beyond the time saved by using steam power at this distance.

Therefore, although Qian Tiandun was anxious, in fact, the three ships he led could not run to Fubo Port in one breath with high speed. After starting the steam power system, I only ran more than 2,000 miles, and the coal on the three ships was exhausted one after another, and I could only return to the sail power state again.

However, on the way, he kept in contact with the garrison of Fubo Port through the radio station, confirming that there was no risk of loss there for the time being, so he felt a little relieved.

After starting from Fubo Port toward the Red Sea, the fleet stopped and stopped all the way, and took half a month to reach the location of Zhenhai Port. However, when he was rushing back, Qian Tiandun had entered the Strait of Hormuz in just seven days.

It is certainly not easy to search for traces of pirates in the strait that is more than a hundred miles wide by the three ships he brought back. But in order to defeat his opponent, Qian Tiandun specially chose to enter the Persian Gulf at night and quietly approached Fubo Port.

There are several huge bays near Fubo Port, but because of its steep coast, it is not suitable for building ports, but it is only suitable for use as an anchorage for sheltering wind. Otherwise, when Fubo Port was selected, he would not have chosen the Haisaib, which had a wide terrain and an average coastal condition.

Qian Tiandun’s plan was to temporarily lurk in one of the bays and wait for the pirates to attack Fubo Port again, and he only received a signal from the port defenders and broke out from the bay and caught the opponent off guard.

Although this plan is simple, it can just reverse the current situation where the enemy is dark and we are bright. Just wait patiently for the opportunity.

Two days later, there were indeed another pirate ships gathered in the waters near Fubo Port, and the scale seemed to be larger than the previous time. It seemed that these pirates would not give up until they conquer Fubo Port.

But this happened to be in line with Qian Tiandun's intention. If these pirates disperse, it would still be a hidden danger in the end and it would not be easy to track down. But if the pirates gathered to attack Fubo Port again, they would have a chance to take it all.

Although there are many ships on the other side, in front of majestic warships, these pirate ships that are still using the jumping gang tactics as their combat methods are basically difficult to pose a substantial threat.

The two infantry companies that rushed back to Fubo Port with Qian Tiandun had already quietly landed in advance and went to the base of Fubo Port to meet with the garrison troops.

With this group of reinforcements carrying weapons and ammunition in place, let alone the armed pirates of thousands of people, even if the enemy's troops have doubled and tripled, it is unlikely that they will break through the land defense line of Fubo Port without heavy firepower support. The pirates gathered much slower than Qian Tiandun's expected, and they had been cruising in the nearby waters for two days and had not started to move.


Qian Tiandun judged that this was because of the lack of unified command and dispatch of the pirates. Otherwise, if they had not completed the assembly for a long time, their tracks had been exposed to their opponents for a long time, so how could they have the effect of attacking them without any precaution.

This sign made Qian Tiandun breathe a little relieved. At least this shows that these pirates should not be disguised by professional troops in guise, and their combat power will naturally not be much stronger.

With such delays, the large number of special operations divisions returning from the Gulf of Aden have also arrived outside the Persian Gulf. However, Qian Tiandun was worried about alerting the enemy, so he told him not to enter the Strait of Hormuz and temporarily stood on standby outside the strait, and blocked the route of pirates' escape.

The troops under his command are already in place, and Qian Tiandun is not in a hurry now, just waiting for the other party to come to him.

The pirates finally chose to launch an offensive one morning. Unfortunately, their movements have always been under the surveillance of Hai Han. When they were still several miles away from Fubo Port, Qian Tiandun had already received the news.

According to Qian Tiandun's order, the Fubo Port defenders did not launch a blocking attack when the pirates landed, and deliberately reclaimed the defense line to the harbor base to lure more pirates to land on the shore.

Although this move is simple, it has a very practical effect. The pirates only thought that the previous two offensives had already made the defenders exhausted, and the seemingly airtight defense line finally showed signs of collapse. At this time, add another force and maybe you can take the place.

So the pirate ship bravely sailed to the shore, let all the people on the ship land and launch a general attack on the base.

Of course, some people also thought that there were several Haihan warships in this place, but now they are completely gone, which is a bit strange.

But the situation is very good at this time, and anyone who pays attention to these suspicious points will inevitably be ridiculed by others. As long as we capture this place, what if those Haihan warships come back, can we still rush ashore and continue working?

Because there are not many garrison troops left behind in Fubo Port, the early infrastructure here is actually mainly port projects. At the beginning, no decent fortifications were built, and only a few sandbags were built outside the camp, and two watchtowers were built one south and one north.

No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!

It was not until recently that the defenders moved the focus of the project from port facilities to fortifications, worked overtime to build shooting bunkers and several artillery positions outside the camp, as well as the barbed wire buffer belt that was very exciting.

These temporary fortifications have had a good effect in the previous two encounters, repelling the pirate offensive at a very small cost, and firmly controlling the enemy trying to attack the base outside the range of fire strikes.

After Qian Tiandun led his troops to come, the defensive firepower and combat personnel here were enhanced. The pirate regiment that was still using cold weapons was about to fight with him. The outcome can be imagined.

When the pirates screaming and charging entered the range, the positions outside the base suddenly opened fire. Before the pirates reacted, the dense fire nets shot out by hundreds of rifles quickly harvested their lives.
