Damn the World, Ride a Submarine - Chapter 10

Episode 10 – 810

Observing the movements of the skiff ranks.

The three skiffs were approaching the left and right aft sides of the convoy, respectively. I thought the intention was to disperse firepower by targeting the engine room of the escort ship.

If the escort ship fell out of line, the situation could end before the U.S. troops arrived. I opened the wheelhouse door and urgently looked for Team Leader Kim.

“manager”

“yes”

I pointed to the line of skiffs on the sea.

“Looking at their movements, it looks like they will target the escort ship’s engines with firepower.”

“Ah… yes, you saw it right away.”

I spread out my hands and outlined our ranks.

“manager! “Sonatore should not just be protected from the stern by an escort ship.”

He placed his hands back and forth, then moved the hands in front side by side and said.

“like this. The two boats must go side by side. Only then can you secure a firing line for shooting. “We will be able to counter their firepower.”

“What you said is correct, Mr. President. Tactically, yes, but that exposes Sonatore to danger. It goes against our mission. “You can’t do that.”

“It is unacceptable to give up the escort ship to save this ship.”

“…”

“manager! Please follow my lead. Let’s play a winning game. “If we hold out for a few hours, we can receive support from the U.S. Navy.”

“… All right.”

While team leader Kim Jun-myeong moved to the aft deck. After hearing the story, Captain Kim Chang-gi slowed her ship and brought it into line with the escort ship.

As our ranks changed, the pirate skiffs seemed to adjust their spacing accordingly. It certainly seemed like they were trying to secure a firing angle to target the escort ship’s engine.

However, what is worrisome is that a significant amount of ammunition was consumed in the last engagement. When I asked Team Leader Kim, it was clear that there was not enough ammunition.

Team Leader Kim’s opinion was that the only way was to focus targeted fire on one location and destroy each enemy individually. And he added that there was one man on the escort ship and that Benoit was a former Gisène sniper.

Once they were in line, fighting began again. A ton of bullets flew towards the escort ship.

– Tadadang Tangtang

-Track, crackle, crackle.

We could hear the sound of bullets flying intermittently towards our ship.

I couldn’t just lie down. Captain Kim Chang-gi stopped her, but she raised her head and was watching the battle situation through the wheelhouse window. It was then.

– Ugh!

A single scream was heard. Through the cockpit window, team leader Kim Jun-myeong could be seen collapsed. He appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound.

Benoit was seen running towards team leader Kim Jun-myeong.

Team leader Kim Jun-myeong encouraged Benoit to fight and was seen taking out an emergency bandage from his trauma pouch and trying to tear it off with his teeth.

Instinctively, I opened the wheelhouse door and ran towards him. When team leader Kim Jun-myeong saw me, he waved his hand and said.

“Representative, please come in.”

“be quiet. “I couldn’t even tear off the bandage…”

I checked the gunshot wound. It seemed like it wouldn’t be life-threatening as long as the bleeding was stopped. It seemed certain that he would be unable to fight.

I took the emergency bandage he was holding in his left hand.

“I am a specialist 810 medic. “I can’t just sit by and watch.”

Tearing off the packaging of the emergency bandage. He applied pressure to his bullet wound in his right shoulder, trying to stop further bleeding.

After confirming that the rapid bleeding had calmed down somewhat, I wrapped the strap of the emergency bandage behind my shoulder. And tied it tightly.

“I’m pressing here with my left hand.”

I picked up Team Leader Kim Jun-myeong’s gun that was lying on the floor. Team leader Kim saw that and grabbed my leg to stop him.

“It’s not possible. “Representative, please come in.”

“We must not be outgunned.

“You can avoid fighting, but you can’t lose.”

“…”

“If I’m wrong, it’s my fault.”

I heard Team Leader Kim’s HK 416D.

A G43 3x scope was mounted on the Eotech 558. I folded the G43 scope up to the 558 aiming line and aimed in the direction Benoit was shooting.

Aiming was almost impossible due to the rocking motion of the ship.

As the ship rode the waves, the skiff would disappear from the scope’s view.

I had no choice but to get a feel for the roll of the ship and aim for a lucky shot.

– Bang!

When the first shot was fired, it was confirmed that the bullet fell on the water.

To the shaking rhythm. I continued firing one shot at a time, feeling like I was dropping the bullets on the water at a gradually greater distance.

– Bang! bang!

It is now possible to drop bullets on pirate skiffs. Team leader Kim Jun-myeong was tapping my leg.

There was a magazine in his hand. Because I was so nervous, I didn’t even notice that the bolt was locked back.

Team Leader Kim opened his mouth while handing over the magazine.

“You’re better than me. Hehe… Cough, cluck, ugh!”

“The bullet missed my lungs, so I can talk, but coughing will awaken the pain.”

“Hehehe… cough, cough, ugh!”

The shooting continued. It felt like one out of every three or four shots was aimed at a pirate’s skiff.

– Crack!

When the pirates’ bullets intermittently hit the Sonatore’s hull, I had an eerie feeling, as if I had been shot.

Team Leader Kim said as he took out a magazine from the plate carrier.

“This is the last time.”

“ah ···.”

It was then. Benoit shouted.

“Kim! Kim! Kim!”

Benoit looked at us, put his left hand to his ear, and pretended to listen to the sound. Through the gunshots, there was a sound.

– dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

It was the sound of a helicopter.

Soon a helicopter passed over our heads. It was a US Navy Seahawk helicopter. We started strafing the skiff in the direction we were shooting.

-Hey!

Benoit and the security guards on the escort ship began to cheer in unison.

The U.S. Navy helicopter slowly circled around the skiff and continuously strafed it, and spray of bullets surrounded the skiff.

Perhaps sensing the inferiority of firepower and the reinforcement of U.S. forces, the skiff, located in the center and receiving concentrated fire, began to turn its bow.

At that time, three RHIB high-speed boats began to appear in the distance, cutting through the water and approaching. After seeing this, the rest of the skiffs also started running away.

The US Navy’s high-speed boat continued to chase the pirates without stopping.

– Yihaha~

Benoit was waving his hand and shouting at the high-speed boat.

The pirate’s skiff disappeared from sight. The US Navy’s high-speed boats seemed to continue pursuing them.

We confirmed our damage. There was one person injured on the escort ship, but there were no life-threatening injuries. The hulls of both ships were such that there was no difficulty in operating them.

Captain Kim Chang-gi updated the U.S. military on the situation, and the U.S. military responded that the RHIB with medical personnel on board had already departed.

We rafted up the escort ship and Sonatore side by side and waited for the US Navy’s RHIB.

There is some level of organization on board. He tried to return his pistol to team leader Kim Jun-myeong. He said, blocking my hand.

“It’s a gift. haha”

“… thank you”

For some reason, I could feel some kind of warm emotion coming from Team Leader Kim’s eyes.

The US Navy’s RHIB high-speed boat approached, and the injured man was moved there. So, I parted ways with team leader Kim Jun-myeong, promising to move on in the future.

Afterwards, the P226 pistol he gifted was placed in a secret safe in Master Kevin.

We continued our voyage, passing the coast of Yemen and heading towards the port of Salalah, Oman.

The satellite phone rang. He was vice president.

“CEO! “What happened?”

“What happens? “I just met pirates at sea.”

“Cha-am~ Mr. President, you speak so easily. Still, I feel relieved to hear a healthy voice.”

“Yes, everyone is safe. Although one security guard suffered a gunshot wound. “There is no danger to life.”

“ah ···.”

“Everything’s going well at the company, right?”

“yes. Everything is going smoothly. And as you indicated earlier, the investment target company has been decided. The report was sent via email.”

“is it so. great.”

“The representative will conduct PT via video conference.”

“yes. Please schedule an appointment as soon as possible.”

After finishing the call with the vice president, I immediately opened my laptop. A report had arrived from the OSLAM planning team leader.

It was a company called DataBricks. From the company name, it seemed like development was going in the direction I wanted.

The CEO of Databricks was a young guy named Lee Kyung-ho. He started a business in Korea after leaving Google, but was said to be experiencing financial difficulties.

…

next day. After preparing for the video conference, I sat down in front of my laptop.
