Chapter 379 "Borrowing" Missiles

K-316 quietly parked on the sea, almost ignoring the existence of the surrounding American ships. If there was a war, there is no doubt that they would have sunk the aircraft carrier long ago.

Although there are US helicopters circling back and forth overhead, the captain with a beard standing on the bridge does not take it seriously. Since the submarine has surfaced, even in war, the opponent will not attack him, let alone It's here.

However, the bearded captain has always had a question, why did the other K-317 go?

At this time, he discovered that the US aircraft carrier formation began to retreat!

Although President Reagan's think tank is still under discussion, the aircraft carrier formation can't wait.

The Black Sea Fleet of the Soviet Union put on a posture ready to go to war, especially the two Tu-22 bombers of the opponent, getting closer and closer to the formation. No matter whether they will really go to war or not, the aircraft carrier formation must follow the posture of going to war treat.

In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict and to avoid being attacked by the opponent's Tu-22, the Kennedy aircraft carrier formation decided to retreat to the vicinity of Sicily.

At this time, the aircraft carrier was unable to start at full speed due to damage to two propellers. Moreover, after this incident was completed, it would definitely have to go back to the shipyard to replace the propellers.

Otherwise, the aircraft carrier formation can scramble to take off a few fighter jets to intercept them.

Thinking of this, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation gritted his teeth with hatred for the submarine.

If he knew that there was another Soviet submarine on the bottom of the sea, ready to launch a fatal attack on him at any time, he would probably have even more headaches.

K-317 has been paying attention to the situation on the bottom of the sea. It didn't move until K-316 hit and floated up. Therefore, although the aircraft carrier formation has carried out a strong anti-submarine operation, for a submarine that has been suspended on the bottom of the sea and the main engine has not started The noise is quite low for a 400 ft, and, at a depth of [-] meters, it has merged into the noise of the ocean.

If it is on the ocean, this method of waiting for a rabbit is almost impossible to succeed. However, this is the Mediterranean Sea, and the purpose of the US aircraft carrier is very clear, so they succeeded.

Because the order to go to war has not been received, the K-317 submarine has been staying on the bottom of the sea obediently, without moving, and has not been discovered by the US Navy.

After receiving the news of the retreat of the aircraft carrier formation, the two low-altitude penetration Tu-22s knew that they had completed their mission, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and began to return.

They have conducted this kind of drill for aircraft carriers many times.

At this time, the news of the confrontation between the navies of the two sides at sea was passed to Brerinev.

After listening to the report of the Minister of Defense, Brerì Nev just said: "Pay close attention to the development of the situation and tow the damaged submarine back to the shipyard for maintenance."

Hearing this sentence, Andropov on the side was relieved. Although confronting the US Navy in the Mediterranean sounds very enjoyable, it is not in the interests of the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union at this time is already terminally ill. Andropov has a very clear understanding of the status quo of the Soviet Union. If it does not change, the Soviet Union will really collapse.

The war in Afghanistan contained most of the Soviet Union's military power. At this time, the Soviet Union actually did not have much backing to engage in a life-and-death contest with the United States.

However, the handling of the Black Sea Fleet this time is more appropriate. The submarine broke through the anti-submarine circle of the US aircraft carrier, and the bombers and fleet were dispatched urgently, which can be regarded as giving the United States some color.

Compared with this side, the United States is more depressed.

"Get rid of that damned aircraft carrier commander!" Poindexter said: "Our navy has never been so useless!"

"That was his only correct decision. We were not prepared to go to war with the Soviet Union. It was just a misunderstanding. If he didn't back down, you know the things on those two Tu-22s could kill our entire fleet."

"The Soviets would never dare. If they did, we would definitely fight back!"

"Do you want to destroy the entire earth?" Vice President Bush couldn't help it, and said: "The Soviet Union and we both have a large number of nuclear weapons. If there is a conflict with the Soviet Union, together with the nuclear war, the entire earth will be destroyed. !"

During the Cold War, the two countries fired at each other several times, and in the end one side always retreated first. The reason for this was the fear of the destructive nature of nuclear weapons.

"If we were able to defend against the other side's missiles, we wouldn't have these problems." Poindexter said: "Your Excellency, the anti-ballistic missile defense system plan mentioned to you last time, we should implement it." !"

Reagan already had some inclinations in his mind, but he knew that this plan needed more discussion. "We'll talk about this plan later, let's talk about how to deal with it first."

For the safety of the United States, Poindexter strongly advocated investing in that plan. It also has a famous name, the Star Wars project.

"I think it is wise to retreat." The Secretary of State also said: "Our goal is to deter Iraq, not to start a war with the Soviet Union. Now it seems that our plan is wrong. At present, our country's oil reserves are about to To use up, although our own oil fields are increasing production, the supply is simply not enough. Economically, a dangerous situation has begun to appear. We must not delay any longer. Didn’t we already make a decision not to support it? Is Israel’s invasion? They didn’t inform us before the action. Why should we bear so many consequences for his action? France has already stood on the side of the Arabs. What they care most about , It is the economy of our own country, so why are we not like this? Our first concern is the people of our country! The Fourth Middle East War in 73 was a joint attack by the Arab countries on Israel. It is reasonable for us to support Israel. But now, he is invading Lebanon with Israel, and we will pay for his own war and the economy of our own country, the loss outweighs the gain!"

Invasion is the word, George Schultz said very forcefully, because it is what it is.

Is it really necessary to lose the economy of one's own country for Israel's invasion?The United Nations has issued resolutions several times demanding that Israel withdraw its troops unconditionally, but Israel has always turned a deaf ear to it. Now, the U.S. Navy has even clashed with the Soviet Navy because of this matter, and has lost all face.

Reagan's mind was brooding.

With the killing of the hardliners in Israel, with the strong resistance of the PLO, and with the opposition of more and more countries, especially France in the West, Zhang Feng knew whether Israel As in history, it will achieve its own combat goals, drive away Arafat, and squeeze the power of the PLO out of Lebanon. Everything is unknown.

Therefore, he needs to add more fuel to let the Israelites know that they can do whatever they want.

………… "General, Your Excellency Marwan is here." Major General Manav, who was worrying, suddenly heard the guard's report.

"Quick, let him in," Manav said.

Although there is a deep gap between the two countries, after the last battle, especially after being bombed by Israeli fighter planes, they finally knew how much the team led by Marwan had played for them , Therefore, the Syrian soldiers had a great impression of the Iraqi special forces, and in the end Marwan's squad suffered heavy losses, which made them even closer to each other, because they were for the Syrian missile positions And sacrificed.

As Major General Manav, who commanded the anti-aircraft missiles, he also had a good impression of them, so he was excited when he got the news that Marwan had returned.

At this time, Major General Manav was worried, very worried.

Just a few days ago, the Sam-6 missile positions deployed in the Bekaa Valley were all destroyed by Israeli aircraft. Syria urgently dispatched new 4 Sam-6 missile companies and 3 Sam-8 missile batteries from the rear. [-] missile companies, bypassing the crater and aircraft wreckage and entering the Bekaa Valley again.

If it weren't for the brilliant achievements last time, Major General Manav would have been sent to prison by the furious president. At this moment, he once again took over the command of the new missile company, but felt a lot of pressure.

Is there a way for him to avoid the air strikes of the Israelites?The Sam-6 missile showed a bad side last time, and was hit by missiles of the same color. Will the tragedy of the last time be repeated?

If these missile companies were lost again, Manav knew that his military career would be over.

At this moment, Marwan came, as if he saw a savior.

"General, I am here this time because I have a very embarrassing request for the general. I hope the general can agree." Marwan said.

"If there is anything, as long as I can do it, just say it." Manav was very generous.

However, when the other party made a request, Manav felt a little regretful.

"I'm here to ask the general to lend me a battery of Sam-6 missiles," Marwan said.

Manav immediately opened his mouth wide, brother, can this be borrowed?

"General," Marwan knew that it was very difficult, so he began to state according to what His Excellency Qusay taught him: "The Sam-6 missile is a field anti-aircraft missile that uses a tracked platform and can go off-road. However, your side It is too wasteful to deploy so many anti-aircraft missiles, but they all stay still. Moreover, it is easy to become the target of Israeli aircraft. If there is no way, I am afraid that the last battle will still happen again."

If someone else had said such a thing, Manav would have yelled at the other party, pointing his nose at the other party, but for Marwan, Manav would have no confidence, because what the other party said was completely correct, He is worrying about it.

"So what do you mean?" Manav asked.

"The general's anti-aircraft missiles stay here and wait for the opponent to attack. This is still not an option. Since this missile is equipped with an off-road chassis, it must take advantage of its off-road. Now, the Israeli troops have advanced to the Beirut, for the rear, the defense must be relatively sparse, we can follow the border between your country and Lebanon, and reach the junction with Jordan, where we can ambush Israeli planes!"

This is Zhang Feng's tactic. Although the Sam-6 missile was completely defeated in the Bekaa Valley, it is not so indiscriminate. The key is that no suitable method has been found.Even ten years later, in the Gulf War and the Kosovo War, the Sam-6 missile is still young.

The appropriate method is to fight guerrilla warfare!

Zhang Feng has always been thinking about how to give the PLO the greatest support and make Israel retreat in spite of difficulties. Now, their defense ministers have all died in battle, which is already a serious blow to them, and Another way is to attack their main force: the air force!

Israel is able to despise opponents from a very high height every time because of their air force. No country in the Middle East, even the Iranian Air Force in its most powerful period, dare to say that it can completely defeat the Israeli Air Force .
