Chapter 479: The Wrath of Iraq's Mines

readx;

The original cāo crew in the rear cabin, having fastened his seat belt, began to push a heavy mine hard, which was a lugm145 trigger anchor mine---

The tail of the Super Hornet helicopter is an articulated down-turn tailgate, similar to a large transport aircraft, after the downturn, there will be a downward slope, and if it is on land, the car can drive directly down the tailgate into the cabin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info≦≧

And now, this tailgate, again, is a platform for throwing mines.

On the underside of the mine, a slipway has been installed, which allows you to slide down the platform.

Leaning on a rope to tie his belt, a cāo worker slowly pushed the anchor mine that had been sliding along the platform, a distance of more than two meters, and soon came to an end, and then, the anchor mine slid out of the platform and fell.

"Poof!" The sound of the anchor mine falling was very loud, and the splash was several meters high.

The cāo crew in the aft compartment returned to the cabin from the platform with difficulty, and the helicopter flew forward a few dozen meters before dropping a second one.

The same maneuver was staged over other key areas of the Strait of Hormuz. ≦≧

After the throw, the Super Hornet helicopters began to return to base, and they will throw it again tonight.

The ultra-yellow hornet, which is responsible for the sea jingjing, has been searching the sea surface vigilantly, and the navigation has resumed in the past few days, and the Iranians must be very unhappy, and they will come out again to lay mines at any time.

However, it is time for the situation to change, and if the Iranians want to lay mines, they must be able to come out!

"Commander, the situation is even more dangerous tonight, helicopters can always be heard outside, the Iraqis must be watching, if we go out now, it is very likely that we will be attacked by the other side's helicopters." A staff officer said.

In the past few days, the navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has lost the spirit of the first day, and the mines they have laid have been broken by the other side before they have achieved many results.

What's more, it became impossible for them to re-lay mines at night. Because, as soon as they are dispatched, they will be discovered by the opponent's helicopters, and, even worse, after being discovered by them, they will be hit by anti-ship missiles.

Using anti-ship missiles against thousands of tons of corvettes and destroyers against missile boats and speedboats feels a bit overkill. ≦≧ but. The power is also very amazing, just one hit will cause the entire ship to explode.

But. Ali, the newly appointed commander of the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has no longer care so much, he only knows. If his navy didn't do anything else, his position with the great Jing God Leader would plummet.

Damn Iraqis, let's have a fight!

With great admiration for the great leader, Ali began his own vigorous sortie.

In order to counter the possible anti-ship missiles of the Iraqis, Ali also made preparations, and on the Catapult-class missile boats that he was preparing to sail, Ali had two naval guns, 76 mm and 40 mm, ready to hit targets on the sea at any time. And on the missile boat, there are a few more personnel carrying Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and if the Iraqis really attack with missiles, they will use this way to compete with the anti-ship missiles of the Iraqis! Moreover, if they encounter the opponent's helicopter at close range, they can also knock down the opponent's helicopter with anti-ship missiles.

It's hard to hit, and you can't shrink your head anymore this time. It has to be up!

Of course, in his heart, in addition to the worship of the great leader and the confidence in the victory of this attack, Ali still hoped that it was better not to let the other side's helicopter find out. ≦≧ this way he looks. It's all for the people below to see, in order to be able to continue to climb up. There are some dangers that must be taken.

"Let's go!" Standing on the missile boat, Ali shouted forcefully.

Four MTUI6V538TB91 diesel engines have been started, driving four propellers, leaving four water trails behind, and the Catapult-class missile boats have begun to set sail from Laer Harbor.

"Following the previous route, we went to the middle of the strait to lay mines." Ali said that he is very clear about the mines laid by his own side, and as long as there is no mistake in the placement of the mines, the entry and exit of his own ships should be very safe.

The missile boat, which was more than 200 tons, gradually accelerated and sailed out of the port of Lal, and this high-speed missile boat quickly accelerated to more than 30 knots.

Looking at the sea in the darkness in the distance, Ali's eyes showed longing, hoping that this time he could successfully complete the mission!

He didn't know that the danger was slowly approaching, and this time the danger was not the helicopter overhead, but the underwater mines!

At this time, the Super Hornet helicopter has not yet laid mines for the second time, and the density of mines outside Port Lal is still very low. ≦≧

It's just that Ali's luck is very bad.

The small Cataple-class missile boat has a draft of only two meters, but the anchor mine dropped by the Super Wasp is also two meters above the water!

As soon as the Catapult-class missile boat left the port, it had already brushed itself against an anchor mine, and its hull was close to several tentacles on the anchor mine, but it was lucky that it did not break it! At this time, everyone above didn't know that death was getting closer and closer to them.

Directly in front of them, there is also an imported UDM500 sinking mine, which is much more advanced than that anchor mine, a non-triggered sinking mine equipped with a combined fuse. Acoustic, magnetic, and hydrostatic fuses. Before the deployment, the delivery personnel of the Super Hornet helicopter had designed the mine as a joint fuse, which would detonate in any of three situations.

And the current Catapult-class missile boats make a lot of noise when sailing at high speeds, and the hull is an ordinary steel structure with a magnetic xing, but the displacement is small, and the water pressure when sailing is not very large.

When the Cataple-class missile boat was still a mile away, it had already alarmed this submarine mine. ≦≧

The mines, first picking up the noise of the missile boat sailing, immediately activated, keeping a close eye on the approaching thing on the water.

At the same time, the magnetic xing receiving device also reacted.

"Put the air defense crew in place, and at night like this, it is very easy to detect incoming anti-ship missiles." Ali said. In the dark night, it is not difficult to find an anti-ship missile, the difficulty is to shoot it down with a Stinger anti-aircraft missile in such a short period of time, not to mention that now this Stinger missile of our own side only has the ability to chase after the tail and does not have the ability to attack head-on, but it must be tried.

On the high-speed missile boats, the hull shook regularly, and several warriors of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who went up to the narrow fore and aft decks, began to faithfully carry out their tasks.

Since it is still far from the main channel, and the pre-jing helicopter is patrolling the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz at this time, they have not been spotted yet.

However, the sinking mine under the water has made all the preparations.

Anchor mines must be triggered to explode, and if you are lucky enough, you can pass between two anchor mines unscathed, but the sunken mine is different, the sunken mine could not reach the bottom of the ship, but the explosion of the sunken mine does not need to be touched at all.

When it sensed that the target was close to it, within the blast range, the minnow's fuse was triggered.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion sounded underwater, and the explosion of several hundred kilograms of high explosives suddenly formed a powerful water pressure at the bottom of the water, and this water pressure, stirring the surrounding sea water, hit the bottom of the missile boat with a vigorous momentum.

The explosion of a mine does not depend on the power of direct explosives, but on the powerful pressure created by the explosion, which crushes the bottom of the ship.

And when the water pressure formed by the explosion hit the bottom of the ship with a lot of pressure, the Catapult-class missile boat was completely tragic.

In order to obtain the maximum sailing speed, and because there were very few missiles in stock, this missile boat did not carry bulky anti-ship missiles, the weight was reduced, and now it was sailing at the highest speed, so it sailed a little fluttering, which was nothing, but when the water pressure came, it was just in front of the hull that was attacked first, and the bow of the ship at this time was already a little upturned when it was sailing at high speed.

When they heard the explosion under the water, all the personnel suddenly turned white, and the sound was a mine!

Where did this mine come from? It seems that they have never laid mines in this sea!

Then they heard a huge shock wave hitting the bottom of the ship, and the bow of the ship began to rise involuntarily.

A missile boat of more than 200 tons, when sailing at high speed, is not very stable, and it is easy to capsize in the case of high sea conditions, and now, it is the most dangerous situation.

Ali heard the voice and knew that in this case, there were only two possibilities, one was that the hull was not strong enough, broke in the middle and split into two halves, and the other was that the hull continued to turn up and buckle upside down.

Either way, it's dangerous to stay here.

Just as the hull began to roll over involuntarily under the powerful impact of the explosion, Ali struggled to maintain his body's balance and grabbed the handle of the hatch.

This mine exploded at the right time, if the missile boat was not sailing at high speed, that is, the bottom of the ship was blown a big hole, but now, due to the light hull and the sailing speed is too high, the hull actually capsized on its own!

When the hull of the ship slapped against the water again, Ali felt all the glass shatter, and then the water rushed in.

The ship capsized.

And the bottom of the ship was still blown open with two large holes, and the hull began to enter the water, and after not being able to support it for long, it would sink to the bottom of the sea.

In this dark night, although it is less than ten nautical miles from the port, it is very difficult to swim back, and if you recognize the wrong direction, you will die at the bottom of the sea in exhaustion.

Ali knew that there was no other way but to swim back on their own.

A question was still lingering in his mind: Where did this mine come from? To be continued
