In November 2010, when a Chinese freighter was passing through the Arabian Sea, it was frantically besieged by pirates, and the captain led the crew to cleverly use titanium mines, beer bottles and wooden planks to fight the pirates.
It was a freighter of the Lecong, a sailing veteran captain He Wenwen and 26 crew members.
He Wenwen, who has always been in charge, went to the cockpit to monitor the radar to check the sea situation when everyone was resting. It was precisely because of He Wenwen's dedication that they escaped the crisis of being unknowingly destroyed. Because the captain of the radar found two red dots, he was speeding towards the Lecong, and the fierce ones would not be good. The alert He Wenwen realized that this was most likely a pirate ship and quickly sounded the pirate alarm to notify the other crew, while sending a distress signal to the Chinese escort formation.
But at present, there is a grim fact - because the Lecong is far away from the Chinese escort formation, even if the escort formation receives the signal at the first time and advances at full speed, it will take two days and two nights. This means that until the rescuers arrive, the only thing they can rely on is themselves.
After sounding the alarm, the captain's calmness infected everyone, and the crew quickly calmed down, put on bulletproof vests, and searched in an orderly manner for all weapons that could resist and attack the pirates. During the search, the crew found titanium mines. Titanium thunder bombs can be said to be a great contributor to helping everyone resist pirates. The Titanium Thunder Bomb is not a simple salute bomb, it has a large explosion sound and tail flame after firing, which can be used to confuse the pirate's line of sight.
As the pirate ship continued to approach, the distance between the two sides became smaller and smaller, until the right time, under the order of captain He Wenwen, the crew fired titanium mines and fireworks at the speedboat sent by the pirate ship. In the case of fireworks, the pirates mistakenly thought that there were shells on the Lecong, after all, the combination of titanium mine shells and fireworks bombs was huge and sparkling, and the power of the shells was almost the same, which slowed down the speed of the pirates to board the ship.
But the fake could not be true, and the plan of titanium thunder bombs and fireworks bombs was quickly discovered by the pirates, because they found that the explosion was not lethal, and the smoke was also blown away by the sea breeze. When the pirates realized that the other side did not have weapons of destruction, they became more rampant and their offensive methods became more violent. The deranged pirates actually fired 4 rockets at the Lecong, but the smoke bombs dropped by the Lecong before played a role, confusing the pirates' vision, one rocket rubbed shoulders with the cockpit and exploded on the bow of the ship, and the other one, although it hit the hull, was only the storage room of the freighter, which was insignificant to the freighter as a whole, and the other two deviated from the pirates' target and fell into the sea.
The angry pirates took the opportunity to throw hooks and ropes at the guardrail, as well as their homemade iron ladders, and the crew of the freighter was panicked at the sight of such an urgent situation, but fortunately someone was in a hurry and broke the glass bottle and scattered it on the deck. Because pirates generally don't wear shoes.
So, when the pirates who thought that the freighter had become a bag of goods stepped onto the deck triumphantly, they were hit hard, and they were pierced by the glass shards on the splint, which only stopped the pirates' attacks for ten minutes. After a tactical adjustment, the pirates stubbornly approached the freighter despite the threat of glass shards. In the face of the more rapid attack of the pirates, Captain He Xuewen led everyone to drop wooden planks in an orderly and rapid manner to prevent the pirates from approaching, which delayed the rescue of the Le Cong and other Chinese escort formations for a certain period of time.
After several rounds of fighting, the pirates realized that the Chinese escort formation would soon arrive, and if they did not leave, they would be wiped out, so they had to return in sorrow.
Finally, lecong arrived safely at the port of Salalah in Oman after rendezvousing with the Chinese escort formation.
