USSR 1991

The calm sea is full of densely packed ships, like a school of swordfish, they are like a sharp sword inserted into the deepest part of the ocean, and all challengers will be cut to pieces by the sharp blade wherever they pass.

Perhaps what the US Enterprise did not expect was that the Soviet aircraft carrier Kuznetsov was also heading towards the Strait of Hormuz, and their fleet was walking on the side of the China Yinhe in order to be on guard against sneak attacks by the US fleet at any time.

In front of the Soviet Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, the Yinhe was like a rabbit meeting a giant elephant, and the black shadow covered most of the ship.

"Why did the Soviet fleet choose to protect us? Is it really just to prevent us from being raided by American ships?" First Officer Mi Junxi asked Captain Zhang Rude suspiciously, "Why do we deserve their protection? And what are you doing, Captain? To contact this fleet?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Captain Zhang Rude replied, it wasn't that he was tight-lipped, Zhang Rude didn't even know why there was a Soviet aircraft carrier fleet to escort him, except for the piece of paper sent by the people in the military region exception.Of course, the secret transactions made by the high-level governments of the two countries are beyond his knowledge.

At this time, everything that happened in the Arabian Sea is still a secret. The Saudi side received a notification from the United States and strictly blocked all news about the Yinhe.It was not until the United States deterred or defeated the Soviet fleet in the Arabian Sea that Al Jazeera, Saudi Arabia, could broadcast the rhetorically modified report.

Even the Saudi ships that abandoned their allies and absconded were secretly suppressed by the government, and there was no publicity for the time being. The United States and its allies knew that if such an incident broke out at this time, it would only make the situation in the Arabian Sea worse.

At this time, the sky over the Arabian Sea is blue and peaceful, and the warm sea water and sunshine turn this place into the deep blue sea area with the most comfortable climate. The sea surface is calm and flat like a blue steel plate.But at this moment, an impenetrable cloud of conspiracy and suspicion is gathering over this sea area. Various forces are competing again, trying to turn the calm sea area into the Balkans of the Middle East, another version of the crisis in the Cuban sea area.

However, it is obvious that the Soviet Union just wanted to develop things in a more extreme direction. When their radar detected the US reconnaissance plane, the Su-33 carrier-based plane rushed into the air to intercept it. The two largest aircraft carrier groups in the world Before they met, the first round of confrontation had already begun.

The P3-C anti-submarine reconnaissance plane known as the Poseidon of the US Army is after all the Soviet fleet. The US military has the right to do anything in the air above the high seas. Even if it is monitoring the movement of the Soviet aircraft carrier, it is impossible to launch an attack directly.If it is shot down without provocation, the United States will regard it as an act of war and give the Soviet fleet an all-out attack.

The anti-submarine aircraft, which looks like a Boeing 737, is crossing the blue waters, gradually approaching the giant red steel waves that are advancing slowly under the clouds.Suddenly, the radar of the anti-submarine aircraft captured a black figure on the screen gradually approaching its reconnaissance aircraft.They rushed into a state of emergency.

Through the narrow glass window, they finally saw the Soviet Su-33 carrier-based aircraft hovering around them like a ghost. The pilot of the Su-33 warned the US reconnaissance plane that this is the Soviet Pacific Fleet. Please hurry up Evacuate the upper field.

During the approach, the Su-33 fighter turned on the speed brake on the back of the aircraft to slow down, and monitored the American P3-C reconnaissance plane at close range.From the American pilot looking through the window, the fighter jets surrounding him are like a golden eagle with spread wings, and the airbrake opened on the back of the plane is like a neck feather that has just been raised, fierce and angry.In contrast, its own P3-C anti-submarine aircraft is like an ugly, clumsy duck.Some stared at the incoming enemy helplessly.

Seeing that the opponent did not take any action, the Soviet fighter jets got closer and closer, and he slowly squeezed the US P3-C reconnaissance plane.Recently, the distance between the two aircraft was only about 3 meters, and the wingtips almost touched the wingtips, so that only a part of it could be seen from the window.The air-to-air missiles it carried were close at hand, and the sharp leading edges of its wings gleamed coldly in the sun.The Soviet pilot watched the crew on the anti-submarine aircraft with a stern face.The crew of the U.S. military felt oppressed, vaguely worried that something bad would happen.

However, the Su-33 did not take action for a long time. The pilots of the U.S. military reconnaissance plane thought that the other party was only giving a verbal warning and forced themselves to leave this sea area. Continue to fly forward to collect intelligence on Soviet warships.

Seeing that the other party ignored his warning, the driver of the Su 33 was obviously sullen.The arrogant attitude of the Americans angered the young man, and he said to the crew of the anti-submarine aircraft in Russian English, "Hey, Yankee, have you heard of the scalpel incident in the Barents Sea?"

The Americans didn't want to ignore the provocation of the Su-33 driver, but what he said made the American driver feel a little uneasy.The original Barents Sea was also a duel between reconnaissance planes and Soviet fighter jets, which was exactly the same as the scene in front of us.

The eyes of the pilot of the Su 33 flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly said something that made the US military shudder, "The pilot of the Su 27 who used the scalpel at that time was my flight teacher."

Chapter 237 The Confrontation That Shocked the World

Although the Soviet army has a systematic and mature theory of hitting the opponent's warships/aircraft/tanks, there will still be major casualties, such as the collision between the MiG 1973 and the T21 reconnaissance plane in 38, and the collision between the MiG 21 and the F4 Phantom Well, when the ground commander issued the order to strike, the last sentence of these Soviet air heroes' replies were all exactly the same, only a short one-word reply, understand.Then they and their warhawks and enemy planes turned into bright flames and rolling clouds in midair.

"Comrade Lenin said that death does not belong to the proletariat. I may die, but at least not now." The pilot of the Su-33 fighter jet accelerated suddenly, and disappeared directly into the P3-C reconnaissance plane without fearlessly entangled with the P3-C reconnaissance plane. In the line of sight of the anti-submarine aircraft.The drivers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Su 33 gave up the entanglement in the end, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to continue.

"I thought these Soviet pilots were tough, but I didn't expect that they were just strong outsiders. Don't worry, we have already chased away the intruders and continued to collect intelligence." The US crew said mockingly, and he also told Su 33 to leave. He raised a middle finger in the direction he was going to express his disdain.

These Americans still don't know that the Soviets like to use violent means to teach the enemy. For them, language is superfluous. If you can do it, try not to make noise. It is best to kill the opponent directly so that they can shut up.

The driver of the Su 33 made a big circle and appeared behind P3-C again without making a sound.The U.S. military pilots have not yet noticed the existence of the Su-33 and continue to fly forward.The Su-33 pilot pushed the joystick, and the plane sprayed out two tail flames and flew straight towards the rear of the reconnaissance plane.

"Damn it, that Soviet fighter is back!" The pilot of the reconnaissance plane was a little annoyed when he saw that the Soviet fighter reappeared behind him. Why did this guy hover around him like a ghost?Is it just to stop him from conducting intelligence investigation?But soon he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.

The Su-33 fighter jet flew directly under the right wing of the Norwegian reconnaissance plane. The corner of the Soviet pilot's mouth twitched, showing a cold smile, and he was ready to do it.

The pilot lowered the altitude, stuck the plane under the reconnaissance plane, adjusted the position under the about-to-lucky P-3B, and then accelerated suddenly.I saw two emptied flames from the nozzle of the tail engine of the Soviet fighter jet, which were powerful and dazzling. The plane was like a steel armored monster, roaring and jumping straight forward, destructive and unstoppable.

His driving skills are as superb as his master's. He skillfully keeps his cockpit away from the opponent's high-speed whirring propeller. The reconnaissance plane slid under the right outer engine. With the scream of metal passing through the metal and the crackling sound of the high-speed propeller being interrupted, a hole was cut in the engine nacelle of P3-C. Smoke suddenly came out of the gap in the engine.

While the American pilot was stunned, the Su-33 fighter jet completed the series of actions smoothly, as if the 1987 Barents Sea scalpel incident reappeared in the Arabian Sea. fear.The Su-27 back then became a taboo among the neighboring countries of the Soviet Union, and the Su-1993 fighter jets in the Arabian Sea in 33 will become a taboo among all enemies of the Soviet Union.

The Su-33 fighter jet with the damaged right vertical tail immediately returned to the Kuznetsov for rest. Because it is relatively close to the aircraft carrier battle group, he will successfully land on the deck within a few minutes after the battle , and greeted with applause from the captain of the Kuznetsov.

"Comrade Sergey, I didn't expect you to be able to do the aerial scalpel!" Even the captain of the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov personally went to the deck to congratulate Comrade Sergey's heroic deed, "It's amazing, thank you , we should teach these arrogant Yankees a lesson like this.”

Sergey touched his head in embarrassment, and he said modestly, "I just played a balanced game, but the other party's luck was a bit unlucky." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the US military P3-C away. He continued, "I just don't know if this P3-C will have the luck to return to my military base."

The pilots of the U.S. military tried their best to control the damaged plane, and while sending out a distress signal, they left crookedly and in embarrassment, and the flying altitude dropped by more than 3000 meters.For these crew members, they have never dropped such a large height in such a short period of time, and the oncoming sea seems so close, as if they will have a close contact with this sea at any time.If there is regret medicine in this world, they will definitely not choose to provoke Soviet fighter jets, no matter how favorable the situation is.They are simply a group of terrible devils!

P3-C was not as lucky as the Norwegian pilots this time. Their altitude continued to drop, and they did not stop falling to a certain level like the Norwegian pilots did.Soon they approached the surface of the sea, and the reconnaissance plane that was just emitting black smoke had already started to catch fire. The ferocious flames quickly turned the engine into a burning fireball, lighting up the light of despair in everyone's eyes.

"We are going to die!" The driver sat on the chair in despair, and they even expected that they would be buried in the belly of the fish.The captain of the reconnaissance plane calmly reported to the air force base the general course of the incident, as well as his actual sea area coordinates.Then slowly closed his eyes.

"Damn it, I knew we were going to provoke some Soviet pilots. It's all right now, and I can't even go home." The pilot of the reconnaissance plane covered his face with his hands regretfully, unable to see his expression clearly, but everyone Knowing that unwillingness, despair and regret linger on them.

The P3-C reconnaissance plane plunged into the deep sea of ​​the Arabian Sea. Facing the huge impact, the wings were pulled and broken, and even the entire fuselage was broken into several pieces, floating on the ocean. A layer of jet fuel spread out, shining dazzlingly in the sun.It seems to be a merciless mockery and irony of the United States.

So the aircraft carrier battle group that was halfway through the voyage had a new mission. They needed to separate several ships to find and rescue the crashed reconnaissance pilot, and then the rest continued to move forward in order to block the advance of the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet.

After receiving the news that the reconnaissance plane had crashed in the Arabian Sea, the captain of the Enterprise almost broke the walkie-talkie in his hand. He said bitterly, "Damn Soviets, we will definitely find you to settle this hatred."

The scalpel incident in the Arabian Sea is destined to become a maritime and airspace conflict that shocked the world.

Chapter 238 Conflict at Sea

The conflict in the Arabian Gulf is destined to be included in 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 herds of steel, not to mention these oceans The monsters are armed to the point that they have no flaws. First of all, when they meet, they aim all kinds of anti-ship weapons, torpedoes and aircraft guns at the opponent's camp, as if a big battle is about to break out.

The fighter jets of both sides are hovering and flying around the aircraft carrier battle group like bees, defending and intimidating the fighter jets of the other side. According to the pre-emptive policy, both sides are trying to find their own loopholes, and strive for the other side to strike first, and then counterattack in a fair and honest manner. .And yet with just that in mind on both sides, the ready-to-erupt conflict turned into a strange sit-down battle.

Both sides have an attitude that I want to kill you, but no one wants to be the first to start a war. Colonel Yaregin, captain of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and Halsey, captain of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, both They figured that either the other side would strike first, or the aircraft carrier battle groups of the two world powers would continue to confront each other in this way, and they would not choose to leave unless they waited for orders from their respective naval headquarters to withdraw their fleets.Otherwise, it will always be in this state of being ready to attack at any time.

With each passing second, the possibility of a war between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, but Colonel Yarekin does not dare to take it lightly, and so far the Soviet Union is slightly better. Win a round in one act.And hearing that the United States has sent about five ships to search for the remains of the pilot at the crash site, even Colonel Harlekin felt that the matter was a bit serious.

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

At this time, Colonel Yarekin, the captain of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, issued another order, and the entire battle group moved forward and got closer to the US aircraft carrier battle group. He used this provocative action to tell the other party that thousands of 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, and the distance between the two sides was less than one nautical mile.You can see the mocking expression on the other party's face through the looking glass.Colonel Yaregin ordered the sailors to deliberately show a relaxed look to confuse the opponent. He even let the sailors play basketball on the deck, using this method to make the opponent feel strange.

"What is the other party trying to do? I can't understand the Soviets' tactics at all." After putting down the binoculars, Captain Halsey said doubtfully.He was looking at the people on his side. Everyone looked worried when they heard that they encountered a group of lunatic fleets, but it seemed that the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

"Accordingly speaking, the Soviet fleet is not as good as our aircraft carrier battle group in terms of organization. In the first lesson when the two sides meet, they should adopt a saturated attack method to gain an advantage in speed. Do these Soviets still have back-ups? , In fact, this huge confrontation at sea is just a cover? No, they don’t look like they are going to provoke a war, so why don’t they take actual actions?” Halsey didn’t know why, so he could only talk to himself muttered.The more he analyzed the behavior of the Soviet fleet in his mind, the more strange things seemed.And the people around didn't know what their commander was thinking at this time, so they had to wait silently for the commander to issue an order.

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

In fact, the Soviet Union put on such a formation to mislead the other party that it still has a hand in it. For this reason, the Soviet Union specially let two modern-class destroyers out of the fleet, circled behind the battle group of the USS Enterprise, and prepared to give them a share. unexpected surprise.

While Captain Yalekin was waiting for the opponent to retreat, the first officer told Captain Yalekin that the aircraft carrier on the opposite side hoped to get in touch with our command.Colonel Yaregin couldn't help but smile when he heard this sentence. It seemed that the other party really couldn't understand his own way.So I don't know how to proceed.

"Let's get in touch with them now." Captain Yarekin said, and as soon as he picked up the communicator and turned it on, some crappy Russian came from it.The other party asked bluntly if it was Captain Yaregin 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 reply to me in terrible Russian. In fact, my English is quite fluent." Colonel Yarekin said unceremoniously replied.

"I just want to know what does your fleet mean? We escorted the Chinese fleet through the Strait of Hormuz and encountered your shameless obstruction by the U.S. Navy, and sent reconnaissance planes to monitor and collect intelligence. Does this mean? With the United States preparing for a naval war with the Soviet Union?"

Just as Captain Halsey was about to speak, he was interrupted by the eloquent Colonel Yaregin, "Of course you can choose not to speak, and we also regard your actions as the beginning of provocation before the war. As long as you make a move, I will It can be guaranteed that our fleet will counterattack in the shortest possible time. Attention, it is an all-round counterattack. Until the last ship is eliminated."

Colonel Yaregin directly uttered harsh words, which made the American captain at a loss for a while.Logically speaking, both sides are talking right, but what Yaregin did seems to provoke a war.The Soviets were a bunch of lunatics, as the navies who came back said, utterly lunatics.

"Colonel Yaregin, your pilot deliberately provoked and rammed our reconnaissance plane, which caused the plane to crash into the sea. Now several of our pilots are missing. How will this account be settled? We will not let it go, as long as you dare Hands on, we will decisively take countermeasures."

Colonel Yaregin became angry when he heard this sentence, and he replied bitterly, "I don't care if your pilots are dead or not, we haven't asked you for compensation for the damage to the tail of our fighter jets, we did something wrong You will be punished, this is something every moral person knows, so I doubt your education, Captain Halsey. Don't go salvage, those pilots die in that sea and feed the sharks. Well, it will save us from being upset when we see it. Also, your parents are dead and you are not as righteous as you? Are you the son of those drivers?"
