Chapter 1617 Our ship is ordered to hit your ship (Happy New Year's Eve!)
Ethiopia, Port Asab, Soviet Naval Base,
In the bright sunshine, a white navy dressed in white The uniformed colonel jumped out and stepped onto the gangway of the warship.
The cruiser Orzoneni Kizer drifted with the rising tide outside the port, and the hull and cannons were covered with a layer of pink by the rising sun. The Navy Colonel climbed from the steep gangway to the ship and saluted the flag and the officers. "Messenger! Notify the political commissar and other officers to go to the conference room for a meeting twenty-five minutes!"
After Colonel Nikolayev got on the ship, he immediately issued an order to the officer on duty. An hour ago, he received the general's order and found that he could not laugh at the face of this order.
Standing beside the fluttering red ship head flag and anchor chain, Colonel Nikolayev looked back at the turret, mast and commander tower in the sun, with a serious expression.
The Orchoni Kizer is a light cruiser that was put into service more than ten years ago. It is the third ship of the "Sverdlov" class cruiser. It is the largest tonnage of the Soviet Union and the most technically important one. The advanced and most powerful artillery cruiser. Although it is a light cruiser by the caliber of the main gun, its tonnage is as high as 16,600 tons. With the launch of the missile, the military has transformed it, removed the main gun turret and torpedo launch tube of the stern, extended the rear deck room and On it is an SM64 two-arm missile launcher, and below is a missile reservoir that can accommodate 8 missiles.
But overall, this is still an old warship.
But even so, it is still the main warship of the Red Navy in the Indian Ocean.
Of course, Colonel Nikolayev did not know that in another world, this warship was handed over to Indonesia four years ago and renamed "Irian Chaya" to become the flagship of the Indonesian naval, and also made the Indonesian navy the most popular in Southeast Asia at that time. A powerful navy.
Now, although not handed over to Indonesia, it is used to help the Jakarta authorities break the blockade and show the Soviet support for it.
Now use these two warships to "test" SEA's determination! In Nikolayev's view, this is not a temptation but a death.
"Col. Remember a principle that you cannot fire first under any conditions! Understand? Absolutely, before the S.E.Navy warship fired the Orchoni Kizer Can't fire! Do you understand? ”
Damn it!
If curses can solve all problems, Nikolayev would not mind cursing God, and this task that is equivalent to suicide actually fell on his own.
Of course, he couldn't say that. Now, as the captain of this warship, he is also the commander of the dispatching fleet, and his mission is to carry out Moscow's decision.
By the blockade line!
In Cuba a few years ago, they stopped at the American blockade.
Faced with this blockade now-will they stop?
The confrontation that might happen next appeared in Nikolayev's mind.
Who will fire first? "What matters is not the question of who fires first," Captain Nikolayev said while discussing the upcoming mission with the political commissar and the officers. >
"The most important thing is - what measures will we take to stop us!"
"Moscow's order is very clear, we are not allowed to fire. This is to avoid nuclear war. Then, they must have similar orders,"
"Comrade Captain, they are likely to open fire, we Everyone knows that they had fired on merchant ships when they were in Malacca before,"
The political commissar reminded: "If they fire at us, what should we do?"
Faced with this problem, everyone fell into silence. They had two choices - one was to fire and the other was to retreat.
If they choose to return the opportunity, it will definitely lead to a nuclear war. At that time, it will be over. But if they choose to retreat, the whole world will see their weakness, and Moscow will not Let them go.
After a long silence, Captain Nikolayev said: "This is really a very difficult task."
"But we always To complete it,"
The political commissar frowned and said, "After all, the order has been issued," he thought for a while, and asked again: "There will be a nuclear submarine to follow him." Are we acting together? "
The reason he asked this is because it has a stronger deterrence than surface warships and submarines. Just like the Cuban missile crisis, they sent nuclear submarines, >
As we all know, all nuclear submarines are equipped with nuclear bombs. "Unfortunately, there are no other warships except us. The mission is to escort merchant ships into Jakarta, well, it is to complete the escort!" Captain Nikolayev repeated the commander's order and said: "It is to break through their blockade, not to engage in a nuclear war with them," >
Sometimes, orders are so magical, both for warships to break through the blockade and for them not to cause war.
Is there such a wonderful thing in this world?
Obviously for Moscow, they don't care at all, so there is no such possibility. What they care about is that the order has been issued, and you just need to execute it.
" They are really a group of bastards who actually give such an order! ”
Whether you complain, the order itself must be executed.
Double minutes later, the Red Navy officers in the commander's tower, wearing spotless white uniforms, were manipulating the slightly old ship in an almost impeccable way with the captain's order. cruiser.
The gray-haired Nikolayev opened his eyes wide, and although the thick eyebrows were still as firm as the past. Unlike the determination he had done in the past, Nikolayev took it from the time he received this order. It is considered a "suicide" task so that there is always a little worry in your eyes. "We don't need to doubt the SEA's determination! After entering the SEA blockade, every sailor must be in place, and once they open fire, we will fight back immediately! What we want to defend will be the dignity and honor of the Red Navy. ”
Although Nikolayev looked calm when he issued this order, his inner worry became stronger,
Because he knew that SEA was an opponent with nuclear weapons!
How can you not worry about such an order?
After all, everyone knows very well what it means once the fire is opened?
At that time, it will be more than just a battle between two warships.
But if the other party fires, he must fight back!
On this day, the light cruiser Orchonei Kizer and the destroyer Quiet escorted the Soviet fleet away from the port and headed towards the Indian Ocean.
When this fleet sailed out of the Red Sea and entered the Indian Ocean, it was already tracked.
While they were sailing towards the Southeast Asian sea area, the maritime anti-submarine aircraft conducted multiple air-to-air reconnaissances.
During this period, neither side had any contact, but despite this, the world's eyes were focused on this small fleet of two warships and three cargo ships.
A few days later, on the morning of June 5, the Soviet fleet led by Orchoni Kizhe approached the blockade waters, and the Katsuki aircraft carrier, which was carrying out the blockade mission, took off immediately. Two fighter jets! At the same time, other ships were also ready for combat.
Hundreds of Red Navy officers and soldiers of the Soviet fleet immediately became busy, and gunners and officers entered the combat readiness position one after another.
Twenty minutes later. The Orzoneni Kizer will sail into the SEA demarcated, and everyone knows what will be there to greet them.
The sea breeze gently caresses the sea, and the "Light Cavalry" destroyer sails on the Indian Ocean as before, and the officers and soldiers on the ships blockade and cruise on the sea as before.
While the radar crew was observing the screen, the sailors were holding a telescope and observing the calm ocean surface. Everyone knew that a Soviet fleet was now heading towards them.
First of all, the Soviet warships were discovered, of course, early warning aircraft in the air. After the early warning in the air was informed of the light cavalry destroyer of the Soviet team, several hours later, the radar on the destroyer discovered the traces of the Soviet warship. ,
They have been waiting for each other to come!
"They are coming soon." The sailor holding a telescope said.
"So what if you come?"
"Of course I stopped them."
A black smoke column on the sea line, and soon, the Soviet fleet was Appeared in their sight,
To the right of the fleet. Two destroyers were on guard from afar, and several helicopters were hovering in the air. Follow them.
The distance between them is more than 20 nautical miles. The reason why they keep such a long distance is that when the two sides exchange fire, destroyers can use anti-ship missiles to attack Soviet warships as soon as possible!
It can be said that to a certain extent, the two sides are now ready to fight.
But now, the Light Cavalry is at the forefront of the storm. The distance between him and the Soviet fleet is only a few nautical miles.
Now they are truly tit-for-tat, >
The whole world was watching the Soviet fleet, everyone was waiting to watch them, watching whether they would break through the blockade.
Also watch whether the sEA warships will perform interception missions.
Who is the paper tiger? At this moment, the whole world is very curious and of course nervous, because everyone knows that if there were no paper tigers, this confrontation would likely turn into a war.
War - in what way will it break out?
No one knows!
10:35.
The Soviet fleet is only one nautical mile away from the blockade line.
"Go forward at full speed!"
Lin Zhiyuan, who was standing in the bridge, gave a plain order.
"On June 5, at 10:35 am, the Soviet fleet was found to break into the blockade line!"
When the navigation diary recorded this information, Lin Zhiyuan ordered the "Light Cavalry" to force it into the past as usual , block the other party from moving forward and communicate with the other party in flag language.
Asking the other party to leave the blockade, unlike in the past, now it is necessary to point the muzzle at them.
The Light Cavalry is a Keeling-class destroyer of the United States. The displacement of this warship is only more than 3,000 tons.
Compared with Russian warships, it is almost worth mentioning, but around him, there are battle groups with two aircraft carriers as the core.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
There are also nuclear submarines and submarines underwater.
But at this time, the Light Cavalry was at the forefront of maritime confrontation.
After the two ships approached only a few hundred meters, the sailors of the Light Cavalry immediately blew the flag words and asked the other party to evacuate.
"Orzoneni Kizer, you have entered the restricted area! Please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately!"
At the same time, the gunners on the Light Cavalry had begun to turn the guns and aim at the "Orzoneni Kizer".
"Keep going! Reply to them - this is the high seas! The Red Navy has free access in international public waters!"
After putting down the telescope, Nikolayev turned his head to look at the side of him The first mate ordered.
"I... ship, enjoy the right of free passage in this public sea area..."
The other party's answer surprised Lin Zhiyuan. Fang's answer had already shown their attitude--not acknowledging sEA A designated no-stop area!
"Report to the headquarters immediately. The Soviet cruiser Orchoni Kizhe went deep into the prohibited area and refused to evacuate after being warned. It continued to sail on the grounds that it enjoyed the right of free passage in the high seas!"
Looking completely ignored it Warning continued to advance to the Orchoni Kize, while Lin Zhiyuan made a report to the headquarters, he issued an order to prepare for combat.
They never retreated in the face of threats. After all, all S.E.Navy knew that once a war broke out, the Navy would be the first line of defense in the sEA.
So they have no way out.
At the same time, the "Light Cavalry" kept issuing flag warnings, requiring the Orzoneni Kitze to immediately withdraw from the SEA territorial waters, while the Orzoneni Kitze still remains in accordance with international rules. The warning issued by the "Light Cavalry" was ignored on the grounds that they had a free navigation group on the high seas. Not only did they show no signs of evacuation, but they accelerated their navigation.
"Sir! They are accelerating!"
The officers and sergeants in the bridge turned their eyes to the silent captain, waiting for his decision. At the same time, they were inside the turret of the 127th of the Light Cavalry. The gunner has begun to load shells for the naval guns and is anxiously waiting for orders.
Time was passing by minute by minute, and sweat of beans emerged from the forehead of the sailors of the "Light Cavalry" destroyer,
Along with more than 16,000 tons of Orchoniki Compared with Ze, the "Light Cavalry" with only more than 3,000 tons undoubtedly has no chance of winning.
In fact, the apparent confrontation between the two sides now has no meaning, just like behind the Light Cavalry are two aircraft carrier battle groups.
Both of them are extremely nervous because behind them are two countries. And it is a country with nuclear weapons.
Once they open fire, the peace of the whole world will be broken.
At that time, there may be a nuclear bomb!
However, they cannot retreat because the red line is the red line. If the red line is not defended, then there will be no warning from any country to pay attention to the sEA in the future. At that time, the interests of the country will also suffer. Serious damage!
"Waiting for the order!"
When spitting out these four words, Lin Zhiyuan felt that his throat was a little astringent and dry.
Firing is very simple!
He was confident enough to sink the opponent - after all, the Light Cavalry destroyer was equipped with anti-ship missiles.
As long as he has the order from his superior, he will fire immediately.
"Sir, headquarters telegram!"
"In view of your ship's repeated warnings to the Soviet Union that the cruiser Orchoni-Kisserze have been invalid, now we are asking your ship to immediately impact the cruiser Orchoni-Kisserze, force it to leave the banned sea area and maintain the banned air order!"
"Switch left rudder! Accelerate at least the maximum speed! Prepare for impact! Notify Orzoneni Kizer - "Our ship is ordered to hit your ship! "!"
Faced with the Soviet warships with a tonnage of twice that of their own, Lin Zhiyuan did not hesitate at all and resolutely implemented the order issued by the headquarters, although everyone understood that they used the 3,000-ton Light Cavalry to hit more than 16,000 What does it mean to be a cruiser of the Orzoneni Kizer.
When Orchoni Kizhe led the fleet through the blockade line first, Nikolayev, who was so nervous that he was almost suffocated, breathed a sigh of relief and even took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it. Sweat on your forehead. "These guys still didn't dare to fire... The weather is hot enough! Keep moving forward!"
Now they have conducted a successful test and they have no determination to fight.
"A bunch of yellow monkeys!"
The Soviet sailors on the Orchoni Kizhe looked at the "Light Cavalry" that accompanied them, and now their inner fear had completely disappeared. It seems that he has made up his mind to trust the other party and will never dare to fire.
Perhaps because of this, the original tension completely disappeared.
They even started to curse all kinds of foul words, as if only in this way could they hide their previous hearts. fear.
It's just a bunch of paper tigers.
Although the muzzle of the Light Cavalry was still aimed at the Orzoneni Kizhe, after more than twenty minutes of "armed companionship", everyone believed that S. E.Navy would never dare to fire!
Some Soviet sailors even took off their pants and turned their butts to the Light Cavalry with provocation, shouting "Go to eat shit! S·E·Navy!"
The Russian officers turned a blind eye to this, but in the telescope they found that the artillery that had always accompanied the navigation of the Light Cavalry pointed to the port side again at the bow of the ship.
"Are they ready to retreat?"
At this moment, the sailors and officers on the Orzoneni Kizer saw the flag verbs on the "Light Cavalry" once again!
They were almost completely stunned by the content of the flagstone that they could not believe their eyes.
"Our ship is ordered to hit your ship!"
What?
What are they going to do?
Captain Nikolayev could hardly believe what he saw.
But for some reason, Captain Nikolayev suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flag-tongued signal from the other party just hit him. After all, the other party was not firing a gun. br>As long as you don’t fire, everything will be easy!
Although the opponent's collision tactics chose made Captain Nikolayev feel a little stunned and could not believe this scene.
But on the other hand, he knew very well that this was the only option to avoid the outbreak of war!
"God bless!"
While Captain Nikolayev was praying in his heart, he also gave an order from his mouth,
"Be prepared for the impact,"
Of course, this collision preparation is not about hitting the other party, but about being hit by the other party!
The next scene shocked everyone. The Light Cavalry destroyer directly turned into a sharp sword and collided with this ten thousand tons of light cruiser...
