Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 307: Chasing and Intercepting

(I was too hasty before the fourth update and wrote the Eisenhower as the Lincoln and the nuclear-powered submarine as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. I am correcting it here. Continue on Amway WeChat: Yanayev)

The two Nimitz-class ships still wandering in the Western Pacific received heavy news that a state-of-the-art Soviet nuclear submarine broke into U.S. waters and threatened to use ten nuclear warheads to turn the entire country into a cold nuclear winter. With the current fleet size, searching for a nuclear submarine on a vast coastline is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. So now all available naval power is needed to find the whereabouts of this mysterious submarine.

Of course, the first reaction of the U.S. fleet after receiving such intelligence was to quickly evacuate the sea area. After all, it had been provoking here for so long, and the Soviet Pacific Fleet also hid in the corner like a tortoise and did not dare to come out to fight. The USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt retreated first, while the USS Washington stationed in Japan was responsible for covering the retreat of the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt. After that, it returned south together with the Kiev-class destroyers of South Korea and the Kongo-class destroyers of Japan.

Everything seemed to be going so smoothly. Even David Rothman, the captain of the USS Washington, believed that this joint military exercise was finally a severe revenge for the scandal of the last Falklands exercise incident. The Soviet Union lost an anti-submarine aircraft. His own Pacific Fleet was blocked at his door and did not even dare to come out. The most ironic thing is that the wreckage of the Hawthorn anti-submarine aircraft that crashed on the USS Eisenhower was actually pushed directly into the Pacific Ocean by the US military, except for a few charred and unrecognizable corpses. Apart from that, everything has been swept away.

After the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt evacuated, the USS Washington also evacuated under the cover of carrier-based aircraft and destroyers. Like victorious pirates, they swaggered out of the Soviet Union's sphere of influence without any scruples.

"This time we won very easily. After the Soviet Union had the more advanced Ulyanovsk, it turned out to be a coward and a coward. It didn't even have the courage to fight." Captain Rossman breathed a sigh of relief.

Executive Director Daniel looked at the receding sea and said with some worry, "I don't think things are that simple. The Soviet anti-submarine aircraft dared to be mounted directly on the deck of the USS Washington. It shows that this barbaric nation has desperate courage, but Is this a trap deliberately set by their officials?”

"Trap, what kind of trap? We have already left this sea area, what else can they do to us? Fight from the naval base on the Kamchatka Peninsula to catch up to Japanese territory to intercept the USS Washington? I don't think they can do such a stupid thing yet. It will be done," Rossman said disdainfully. "I thought the Soviets were so courageous, but I didn't expect that they were just showing off."

Daniel set his sights elsewhere. If the Soviet Union really wanted to take action, they could already catch up with him halfway and intercept them.

"It's possible to catch up with us by crossing the Strait of La Perouse, the Genshi Strait, or taking the country's back channel. Do you believe it?" Daniel said, "But even if the Soviet Union can catch up with us, what can he do? After all, we are now Its military strength cannot be underestimated.”

After the ghost submarine scam was successful, Ulyanovsk, which was in a state of war preparation, immediately set off from Vladivostok, crossed the La Perouse Strait and quietly approached the USS Washington, which was halfway there. As the "township aircraft carrier" in the Far East, the USS Washington and Newly commissioned aircraft carriers from the Soviet Union always have more opportunities to fight.

Varyag departs from the port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Chasing the Washington and the Kiev-class ship from behind, the Soviet Navy has calculated all possible scenarios. They will just catch up with the mighty American aircraft carrier northeast of Shikotan Island.

Indeed, it is unwise to use two aircraft carriers to face the opponent's four aircraft carriers head-on, but when the opponent only has one Washington and Kiev class, the Soviet Union has the courage to fight them. Moreover, Yanayev's order was that if the opponent does not fire the first shot, then we will use the ship to ram it! Until they dare not provoke again.

The slowly sinking sun on the sea turned the entire sea blood red, and the American sailors returned triumphantly and sang loudly. After this exercise, they had another relaxing vacation. You can now look for young escort girls in Japanese cities.

Outside were the cheerful crew members, but Daniel, who was resting on the bed, was not happy at all. There was always an inexplicable nervousness slowly tightening on his heart, as if there was a premonition that an accident would happen at any time. And when approaching the four northern islands. This feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

Just as he was about to get up and return to the command podium, a sharp siren tightened his nerves. Daniel quickly picked up his clothes and ran to the command podium. Everyone was looking at the huge figure that appeared in front of them. Under the setting sun, it looked like a bloody steel beast, slowly swimming towards them. The strong sense of oppression stimulated everyone's nerves and tightened the sailors' throats.

"This is the Soviet Navy's ace. The Ulyanovsk? So you have been holding back until now to show up?" Captain Rossman sneered, "What is this? A confrontation between cowboys in the West? Don't forget me here. But there are two aircraft carriers!”

Just when he thought he had a sure win, the captain of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier who was responsible for covering behind him brought him bad news in broken English, "An aircraft carrier appeared behind us, it's the Soviet Varyag."

Encircled? Enduring for so long just for this moment?

Daniel felt a little funny. The current situation is obviously that the US fleet is better. Unless the Soviets go to war here desperately for an anti-submarine aircraft, sink the Japanese, Korean and American fleets, and declare war on the United States nakedly, otherwise the Americans will be the ones who stand at the end.

But Daniel bets that the Soviet Union dare not do this. If it really has such courage, it would have started a war as early as the fall of 1962. Would it wait until now when its strength is greatly reduced?

It is obvious that they have a sure win in the confrontation with the Soviet Union. Japan and its own destroyers blocked the front to prevent the Soviet Union from launching a sudden attack, but the Soviet ships did come towards the Washington. The Sovremenny-class destroyers and the Tarentour-class frigates rushed towards the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

The Sovremenny class is on par with the Alibel class, but the American ships, who think they have won the war, are not as motivated as the Soviet fleet, which has been full of hatred. The outdated Sovremenny class hit the Arleigh Burke class destroyer of the United States with the idea of ​​dying together. The side of the ship is fiercely installed on the left side of the American destroyer, fighting to the end with a spirit of never giving up.

The Varyag behind restricted the actions of the Kiev class. Without the cover of the frigate, the anti-missile ship weapons installed on it became the most useless decoration of the Kiev class, because this is not a war, but a confrontation of wits and courage.

At the same time, a MiG-29k carrier-based aircraft took off from the Ulyanovsk. With a drop tank hanging, he was ready to make a big news in front of the US fleet. After detecting that the other side had a fighter jet taking off urgently, the progress ship-to-air weapon radar on the Washington aircraft carrier locked and aimed at it, and at the same time the F18 fighter jet also began to move, preparing to intercept the fighter jet with unknown intentions.

However, the MiG-29 did not approach the USS Washington, but got entangled with the destroyer. Then he aimed at the ship farthest from the fleet, flew over at a low altitude, and then calculated the timing to drop the auxiliary fuel tank on the opponent's deck.

The auxiliary fuel tank with the detonator installed instantly detonated on the deck of an Arleigh Burke-class ship. The heat wave of the explosion shattered the glass on the control tower, and the strong light and fire stunned the aircraft carrier control desk far away.

Is this provocative behavior the rhythm of declaring war?

After the MiG-29k dropped the auxiliary fuel tank, it immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving Rossman with a gloomy face and uncertain whether to issue an order to launch an attack. Just now, everyone saw clearly that an unidentified object fell from the position of the MiG-29k bomb rack, and then exploded on the deck of the destroyer, but the power of this bomb seemed a little small, and it did not blow up the Arleigh Burke-class?

Just when Rossman's face was uncertain, the communicator sitting in the back suddenly said, "Captain Rossman, the captain of the Ulyanovsk requests to communicate with you, do you agree?" (To be continued.)
