Chapter 121: Simple, Not Simple (Part 1)
However, the seemingly simple approach of Chinese minesweepers is actually not simple.
Kejing also has more than ten years of seniority in the Red Navy, and it is clear that behind the leisurely cruising of the 389 ship is China's progress in the acoustic signal of the ship.
Otherwise, relying on the noise of the T-43 minesweeper, which can be heard on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the underwater БЭ-76 acoustic mine would have exploded a long time ago, how could it be possible to wait until it was picked up by fishing nets?
"I thought of embarrassing the Chinese, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was us who were embarrassed!"
Kotin put down the telescope in his hand, and there was no longer the slightest banter in his eyes, and some were just indescribably depressed, and at this time, several officers beside Kotin strongly suggested that while China had not yet fished the mines on the ship, they should snatch back the БЭ-76 acoustic mines.
But Kojing shook his head: "That means war, do you think we are still capable of withstanding a war?"
The officer who suggested the robbery squirmed under the forced gaze of Kotin, and finally lowered his head unwillingly, and now the Soviet Union has fallen into Afghanistan and cannot extricate itself.
If there was another war, the Soviet Union really could not afford it, otherwise the Soviet Union would not have watched China hang Vietnam up and fight, but it would have done nothing.
"And we're just watching the mines being taken away?" said another officer, reluctantly.
"What do you think?" said Kotin instead of answering, pointing to the approaching Chinese fleet.
At this moment, the first-line fleet with the 501 frigate as the flagship has surrounded the 389 ships, and it is clear at a glance that they are on guard against the Soviet Union.
When the unwilling officer saw this posture, he turned his head to look at the poor boats in Vietnam, and finally sighed helplessly.
There is no way, the Soviet Union will send them a minesweeper in this sea area, and if there is a conflict, they will only suffer.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that we are blind in this matter, and it is their business to pursue the responsibility for those who are blind in the eyes of those who engage in technical intelligence!"
Kotin's last sentence set the tone, and at the same time dispelled the psychological doubts of many officers and soldiers, after all, the latest Soviet acoustic mines were fished out by the Chinese under their noses, and if this responsibility was chased, no one ran away.
But Kotin's words threw this pot to the Soviet intelligence agencies, which immediately made these people much easier, so they didn't have so many worries about returning home, and turned to the spot and slipped away.
The Vietnamese ships, which were still pretending to be engaged in exercises, were numb at that time when they saw that the boss's ship had run away, and they no longer cared about any exercises or non-exercises, and they ran away after the wake of the Soviet ships like dogs.
……
Looking at the Soviet and Vietnamese ships that gradually disappeared from sight, Feng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, when he saw that the 389 ship really fished up the Soviet Union's acoustic mines, the first time was not surprise, but vigilance.
There is no way, the brave style of the Soviet Navy is well-known all over the world, and it is strange that the Soviets are not in a hurry if you take away his mines in such a grand manner.
So Feng Yi immediately commanded the fleet to form a warning belt in front of the 389 ship to prevent the Soviet Union and Vietnam from attacking.
Fortunately, the Soviet commander was still sober-minded, and he did not take drastic actions, but turned around and returned to the voyage, but Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but his nervous expression did not change at all.
Because the mines salvaged by the 389 ship have not really been lifted from danger, they can only wait until the EOD officers and men remove the fuse and detonate the charge of the mine before the potential danger of the mine can be truly lifted.
In this way, Feng Yi was uneasy for more than forty minutes, and the 389 ship finally sent a request for fuse removal and request to detonate the charge mine.
Feng Yi did not hesitate to order the detonation, so after a loud bang, the task of the first-line fleet was successfully completed.
……
"Lao Dong, Lao Dong, come and see, our first-line fleet has made a great contribution this time!"
When Feng Yi reported the salvage and dismantling of mines to the N Fleet Headquarters by radio, Xu Tao, who had been guarding the communication room, received the telegram as soon as possible.
Just after a cursory look, he was so excited that he hurriedly ran to Dong Yimin's command room with the message.
At this moment, Dong Yimin was still lying on the chart, which had already been drawn in a messy manner by various colored pencils, but he was still concentrating on checking every marked track.
So when he heard Xu Tao's shout, he frowned at first, but when he heard the real content, the hand that was originally holding the pen shook unnaturally, and the dense sea chart became completely miserable.
But Dong Yimin didn't care about this, threw down the pencil and greeted him, took the message and only glanced at it, and then laughed: "Haha, win, win this time!"
Looking at Dong Yimin, who was shouting and laughing like crazy, Xu Tao was stunned at first, but the next moment a knowing smile appeared on his face, at this moment, he couldn't see it, Dong Yimin's demeanor as a general who collapsed in front of him and did not change color was pretending, in fact, he was more nervous than anyone else!
In fact, it is true that since the first Beibu Gulf turmoil, Dong Yimin has been working hard about this, and he has personally formulated no less than ten plans.
However, even so, Dong Yimin still feels unsafe, because these plans are either too risky or somewhat conservative, and they will not achieve the goal of teaching provocateurs a lesson, and may deviate from the original intention of the superiors to avoid conflict.
So after thinking about it, Dong Yimin finally decided that it was the bold idea of taking back the Soviet mines directly, because based on his understanding of the Soviets, the use of mines to repeat the old tricks was in line with the Soviets' consistent simple and crude style of acting.
However, Dong Yimin formulated an extremely detailed plan, one of which was to modify the minesweeper with the goal of reducing noise in order to carry out fishing tasks.
The reason why this is so is because among the three major types of mines, touch, magnetism and sound, the most feared thing by the ships of the N fleet is the sound, and there is no way that the noise of the ship itself is too loud, and it is difficult to avoid the risk of this kind of mines, so Dong Yimin judged that even if the Soviet Union repeats its old tricks, it will also look for the shortcomings of Chinese ships to start.
Some people may say that Dong Yimin is not gambling by doing this, yes, Dong Yimin is indeed gambling, but it is not a complete gamble, because the study abroad and the education he received back then made him understand the Soviet Union and understand the Soviet Union, so he can naturally examine this issue as a complete senior officer of the Soviet Navy.
However, as the so-called impermanence of soldiers and impermanence of water, it is expected to be one thing, and the real implementation is another, so if Dong Yimin is not nervous, it is definitely a lie, but as the commander-in-chief, his every move has attracted much attention, so even if he is nervous, he will deeply suppress it, and it is not until the good news comes that he can be regarded as releasing his true self......
