Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 238 Conflict at Sea

Third update

The conflict in the Arabian Gulf is destined to be recorded as the most typical scene of military conflicts at the end of the twentieth century. When the Soviet fleet and the American fleet met, they met face to face like two migrating steel beasts, not to mention these oceans. The monsters are all monsters armed to the point of not having any flaws. When they first met, they aimed various anti-ship weapons, torpedoes and aircraft cannons at the opponent's camp, as if a war was about to break out.

Fighters from both sides were constantly circling around the aircraft carrier battle group like bees, protecting and intimidating the other side's fighters. In accordance with the preemptive policy, both sides attempted to find their own weaknesses, urging the other side to strike first, and then counterattack openly and honestly. . However, with both sides holding such thoughts, the conflict that was ready to break out at any time turned into a strange sit-down war.

Both sides have the attitude that I will kill you, but no one is willing to be the first to start a war. Captain Yarekin, the captain of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and Halsey, the captain of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, both It was planned that either the other side would take action first, or else the aircraft carrier battle groups of the two world powers would continue to face off like this. They would not choose to leave until they received orders from their respective naval headquarters to withdraw their fleets. Otherwise, you will always be in a state of being ready to attack at any time.

With every second that passes, the possibility of a war between the two sides becomes smaller and smaller, but Colonel Yalykin does not dare to take it lightly, and so far the Soviet Union is slightly better. I wonder if the United States, which is extremely vindictive, will take advantage of this. Win a game in one scene. And I heard that the United States has sent about five ships to search for the remains of the pilots at the site of the plane crash. Even Colonel Harlequin felt that the matter was a bit serious.

However, this is not the time for the Soviet fleet to give in. Once it does, all their previous efforts to improve the situation in the Middle East will be in vain. The tougher the United States is, the less powerful they will be to lose.

At this time, Captain Yarekin, the captain of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, issued another order, and the entire battle group moved forward, further approaching the American aircraft carrier battle group. He used this provocative action to tell the other party that Qian Don't mess with us.

So the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, under the cover of other frigates, destroyers and cruisers, took another step towards the Enterprise. The distance between the two sides is less than one nautical mile. You can see the mocking look on the other person's face through the viewing mirror. Colonel Yarekin ordered the sailors to deliberately show a relaxed demeanor to confuse their opponents. He even asked the sailors to play basketball on the deck to make the other side feel strange.

"What does the other party want to do? I can't understand the Soviet tactics at all." Captain Halsey said doubtfully after putting down the telescope. He was looking at the people on his side. Everyone was frightened when they heard that they encountered a fleet of crazy people, but it seemed that the other party didn't take them seriously at all.

"Logically speaking, the Soviet fleet is not as good as our aircraft carrier battle group in terms of organization. The first lesson when the two sides meet is that they should adopt a saturation attack to gain a speed advantage. Do these Soviets still have any backup plans? , In fact, this huge maritime confrontation is just a cover, isn't it? They don't seem to be planning to start a war, so why don't they take actual actions?" Halsey couldn't understand the reason and could only talk to himself. muttered. The more he analyzed the actions of the Soviet fleet in his mind, the more he felt that something was fishy. The people around him didn't know what their commander was thinking at this time, so they had no choice but to wait silently for the commander to issue orders.

"Connect me to the other party's communication channel. I want to get in touch with the captain of the Kuznetsov." Captain Halsey ordered.

In fact, the Soviet Union put up such a posture to mislead the other party that it had something up its sleeve. For this reason, the Soviet Union specially asked two Sovremenny-class destroyers to leave the fleet and circle behind the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier battle group, preparing to give them a share. An unexpected surprise.

Just when Captain Yarekin was waiting for the opponent to retreat. The first mate told Captain Yalykin that the aircraft carrier on the opposite side hoped to get in touch with our command headquarters. Hearing these words, Colonel Yarekin couldn't help but beam with joy. It seemed that the other party really couldn't understand his way. So I don't know how to continue.

"Let's get communication contact with them now." Captain Yarekin said. He picked up the communicator and just opened it, when some broken Russian came from it. The other party asked bluntly if he was Captain Yarekin of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. He was Halsey, the captain of the Enterprise.

"Yes, I am Colonel Yarekin, the commander of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. You don't have to use bad Russian to reply to me. In fact, I speak English quite fluently." Colonel Yarekin said unceremoniously. replied.

"I just want to know what you mean by your fleet? We escorted the Chinese fleet through the Strait of Hormuz and encountered the shameless obstruction of your US Navy, and sent reconnaissance planes to monitor and collect intelligence. Does this mean As the United States prepares for a maritime war with the Soviet Union?”

Just as Captain Halsey was about to speak, he was interrupted by Colonel Yarekin who was talking endlessly. "Of course you can choose not to speak. We also regard your behavior as the beginning of a provocation before the war. As long as you take action, I can guarantee that our fleet will counterattack in the shortest possible time. Pay attention, it is a full-scale counterattack. . Until the last ship is destroyed.”

Colonel Yarekin made a harsh statement, which made the American captain at a loss for a moment. Logically speaking, both sides were just talking nonsense. But what Yarekin did seemed to be provoking a war. As those returning navy said, the Soviets were a group of lunatics, absolute lunatics.

"Colonel Yarekin, your pilot deliberately provoked and hit our reconnaissance plane, causing it to crash into the sea. Now we have several pilots missing. How can we settle this account? We will not let it go either. As long as you dare to take action, we will decisively take countermeasures."

Colonel Yarekin was furious when he heard this, and he replied sarcastically, "It's none of our business whether your pilots are dead or not. We haven't asked you for compensation for the damage to the tail of our fighter plane. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. This is something that every moral person knows, so I doubt your education level, Captain Halsey. Don't go to salvage it. It's best if those pilots died in that sea to feed the sharks, so that we don't get upset when we see them. And your parents didn't die as righteously as you, right? Are you the son of those pilots?"

Everyone tried to hold back their laughter. While listening to every word Colonel Yarekin said, they imagined what the other captain's expression would be like under such verbal stimulation. They could even imagine that the other party was listening to the phone with red ears, cursing Colonel Yarekin in his heart.

Colonel Yarekin raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost time. He replied, "Thank you very much for talking to me, Captain Halsey. Our ships have gained precious time during the time I talked to you. So now I think if the battle group of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier moves forward one step, will Captain Halsey dare to do it?"

Colonel Yarekin is a man of his words. As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the frigate in front to move forward another half a mile. The distance between the two sides was getting smaller and smaller, so that the two huge aircraft carrier fleets seemed to be about to collide at any time.

"Madman, just a madman." Looking at the Soviet aircraft carrier getting closer and closer, Captain Halsey could not give the order to retreat, because doing so would mean that they would lose the first place in this confrontation with dignity.

Captain Halsey suddenly had a bad feeling in his mind. Will the other captain let the aircraft carrier battle group collide with them directly when he gives the next order?

Just when Captain Halsey was upset, another shocking news suddenly came from the command room.

"Captain Halsey, two modern-class destroyers appeared behind us and rushed from behind us at the fastest speed." The crew was staring at every move on the radar. They found that two ships were approaching the aircraft carrier battle group from behind.

Captain Halsey's heart sank and said, "Oh no, this is indeed a trap set by the Soviets!" (To be continued.)
