Chapter 467: Thunder

readx;

Not to mention the widespread use of mines in World War II, that is, in the Korean War in the early 50s, the Soviet Union provided North Korea with 3,000 mines, many of which were "old antiques" in 1904; These were used to defend the port of Wonsan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧!. As a result, the combined forces spent several weeks clearing these mines, and more than a dozen ships were attacked by mines; And half of the ships were tragically destroyed.

Although the mines are very insignificant and have never been taken seriously, they are very powerful!

Since the Strait of Hormuz is relatively narrow and the shipping channel is curved, Iran can take advantage of its geographical advantage to quietly lay mines at night, so that the entire Strait of Hormuz can be completely blocked!

The only drawback is that the mines are unrecognizable, that is, if Iran lays mines in the strait, it is right to blockade all the countries in the Persian Gulf, but the Iranians' own ships will not be able to drive out.

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz with mines is a double-edged sword, stinging others as well as oneself.

However, by far the threat to the other countries of the Persian Gulf coast is by far the greatest.

With only the attack of anti-ship missiles and small boats, shipping was temporarily stopped for a few days, and these Arab countries could not stand it and carried out such a large-scale operation, and now, if the entire strait is blocked with mines, even if these Arab countries immediately carry out a clearance operation, it will take ten days and half a month, and at that time, these countries may not have time to cry. ≦≧

Thinking of this, Khomeini's face, which had been tense for many days, finally gradually relaxed, and his eyes once again showed fanaticism.

Even if the whole world is making enemies of Iran, Iran is definitely not afraid. Because, Allah will bless us!

"Prepare now, and tonight, fill the entire Strait of Hormuz with mines!" Khomeini said.

"Yes!" Ali replied excitedly.

………

Baghdad.

The current situation is very favorable to Iraq, and Iraq has played a huge role in escort operations with Saudi Arabia and other countries, and several Iraqi warplanes. ≦≧ is already stationed at Saudi air bases, carrying anti-ship missiles, and can support escort formations at any time.

Qusay is thinking about Iraq's future strategy, this time the Iranians' ship attack war, has been almost crushed by itself, the Iranians carried out anti-ship missile attacks, they blew up their own hair shè equipment, the Iranians engaged in small boat rapid attacks, and they deployed a large amount of manpower, which is available on every cargo ship. In this case, I am afraid that the Iranians are already exhausted?

Moreover, through this naval exercise, the Iraqi army has run in with the armies of other countries. And later, when there is still cooperation with the armies of these countries, this is a very good start.

And the forces of the United States, under the resistance of the entire Arab power, have always been wandering in the Arabian Sea and have not entered the Persian Gulf. This is an achievement that he is very proud of.

In the Hereafter. After the two Iraqs launched a ship attack war, Saddam Hussein did not care about the lives of other Arab brothers at all, and confronted Iran, and as a result, Kuwait, which supported Iraq, could not bear the frequent attacks on oil tankers, and took the lead in inviting the US Navy to protect their oil tankers.

However, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. ≦≧, as the throat of the Persian Gulf, has always had a very important strategic position. This place should be firmly controlled in your own hands. Only now, Iraq does not have so much strength.

Then, it is better to negotiate with Oman and set up a military base on the prominent piece of land in Oman on the southern side of the Strait of Hormuz, so that the whereabouts of the Iranians can be monitored nearby, and in this way, it will be of great benefit to control the Strait of Hormuz. But will Oman leave it to himself to lay out a base? It's very difficult.

Kusai opened his eyes, at this time, Ajelina was still rubbing his whole body lightly, Cusai felt very comfortable, he hadn't enjoyed it so much for a long time, especially, now that the weather is getting hotter, Ajelina is only wearing a close-fitting nightdress, and she doesn't even wear underwear inside.

Feeling Ajelina's soft little hands, Kusai felt that primitive instinct in his body slowly revived, and he hadn't been close to Ajelina for a long time.

Just as he wanted to reach the base of Ajelina's thigh and tease the clear little spring, Qusai suddenly remembered something else: "Ajelina, what is the attitude of the Soviet side towards our actions in the Persian Gulf now?" ”

Ajelina, so to speak, is completely standing here in Qusay, and will say all the things about the Soviet side without reservation: "The Soviet side also attaches great importance to the interests of the Persian Gulf and does not want American forces to intervene in it, and if the Americans escort it, then the Soviet warships will also escort the Soviet cargo ships into the Persian Gulf, but the Soviet Union does not want any conflict with the United States now." ≦≧”

"Why?"

"Because of the war in Afghanistan, most of the Soviet Union's military strength was contained, and the Soviet Union did not want to have a conflict with the United States, because the Soviet Union now has no money to fight, in fact, the Soviet Union is now very grateful to Khomeini." Ajelina had a mischievous smile as she took Cusay's hand and lowered her into the depths of the jungle where she was not wearing panties.

"The USSR thanked Khomeini? Didn't Khomeini scold the USSR for being a little Satan? ”

"Because Khomeini blocked the Strait of Hormuz, the world crude oil price began to rise, and the economy of the Soviet Union now almost entirely depends on the export of oil to Western Europe, and the price rise is very beneficial to the Soviet Union.

Although the Soviet Union did not think about really fighting a war, however, several warships of the Soviet Union stayed in the Arabian Sea, which can be regarded as containing a lot of power from the United States, and an Afghan war actually left the huge army of the Red Sè Empire with no spare energy to take care of other aspects, however, history is continuing to move forward, and in a few months, there will be a skirmishing between the United States and the Soviet Union. Qusay was thinking. ≦≧

Suddenly, Cusai felt a touch of wetness in his hand, and Ajelina's small oil well was also spewing oil outward!

It was a night of tenderness and passion.

Outside, there was no moonlight, and there was darkness everywhere.

In the calm sea, not a single ship was moving, and after the joint sea and air exercises during the day, the formation escorted two more cargo ships and oil tankers entering and leaving the Strait of Hormuz, without any disturbance, and it seems that the exercises did deter the Iranians. Once they come, hit them once!

The escort group stayed in Dhahran and prepared to continue its escort mission tomorrow.

At this time, the Strait of Hormuz was quiet everywhere, except for the gentle beating of the sea water against the rocks on the shore, making a rattling sound.

Suddenly, from far and near, there was a roar of a ship's diesel engine, and a small missile boat, piercing through the water, quietly sailed until it was close to the sea near Oman on the southern side of the Strait of Hormuz.

This is an Iranian Navy's "Catapult" class missile boat, out of the French "Warrior" II class patrol boat, the Iranian Navy ordered from the French Normandy shipyard in February 1974, of which the first 9 boats were completed and put into service in 1977~197, and the last 3 boats were delayed to July 12, 191 due to the revolution in Iran. The class is 47 meters long and has a draft of 1.9 meters, a standard displacement of 249 tons, and a full load displacement of 275 tons. The power plant is 4 T16V53TB91 diesel engines with a total power of 9.03 MW, four-axle propulsion, and a maximum speed and cruising range of 2,000 nautical miles / 15 knots.

This kind of small boat of more than 200 tons, sailing in the Persian Gulf, is very light, although when besieging oil tankers, it is enough to use a small boat more than ten meters long, but in the current task, this kind of missile boat is just enough.

Because, although those small boats can also lay mines, they can only carry three or four mines at a time, while the Catapult-class missile boats can lay more than 20 at a time.

At this time, the platform behind the missile boat was already full of mines, which were old-fashioned 0 anchor mines.

There are many kinds of mines, and this kind of anchor mine refers to a mine fixed at a certain depth under the seawater, with a mine anchor below, which sinks to the bottom of the water and is used to fix the anchor mine so as not to float, and the surface is tied to the mine body through the mine. By adjusting the length of the cable, the anchor mine can be fixed at a certain depth, and when a ship passes by, it hits the anchor mine, and an explosion will occur.

At this time, this 0 anchor mine looks cartoonish from the outside, with a black sè spherical mine body, and the lower part of the inside is an explosives chamber, which is equipped with TNT explosives and electric detonators. The part is empty, which allows the mine body to float, and the surface of the mine body, there are five tentacles, these are the trigger devices, when the hull hits, the tentacles will shatter, and at the same time, the fuse will be triggered, and it will explode.

And below, there is a cylindrical thing, which is wrapped with a thunder rope, and the length needs to be set according to the specific depth, which is too short for the mine body to reach the bottom of the ship and cannot be triggered, and too long, and the anchor mine will be exposed on the surface of the water to be found.

"Forty-five meters deep, ready to start launching." The captain said.

Hearing the captain's order, the crew immediately got busy, they set up the anchor mine's rope, and then pushed it to the rear release chute.

"Start releasing fifty meters each." The captain then ordered.

The crew slowly pushed the mine back from the slipway, and with a pop, the anchor mine slid into the water and disappeared. At the same time, the dinghy began to move forward, and the crew then released the second, third...

On this night, almost all the small boats of Iran were dispatched, and along the waterway, several dense mine nets were arranged, and all ships passing through here were 100% sure that they would hit the mines! To be continued.
