(The first watch, today's fourth watch)

The USS Enterprise aircraft carrier battle group deployed in the Middle East began to leave the port and prepare for action, and the US Navy command in Bahrain had never been busier than it was today, everyone was in combat readiness, and those who did not know it thought it was an exercise, but those in the know could not laugh because they knew that they were going to face the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet in the Middle East next.

Moreover, the naval units that had gone to support were a little frightened when they saw the shocking scratches on the Ticonderoga cruiser, and a two-meter-long cut was torn in the white hull, like a blank piece of paper that had been slashed with a pencil.

As long as the impact was more intense, the crew would probably have been fed sharks in the Arabian Sea. It is said that some of the seafarers' legs were still shaking when they disembarked, and at the moment when the opposing red Ukraine was about to crash into the ship, everyone thought they were dead.

"You must be careful, those Soviets are out-and-out madmen, don't try to clash with them head-on, you are no match for the Soviets, they didn't want to go back. If they come at you, flee quickly. The American sailors who have returned from international waters say this to the next group of people who will operate, and this is the most practical advice they can give.

A fleet of crazy red maniacs is waiting for all the Americans, who are grinding their fists and ready to leap forward. Pave another layer of American corpses for your own promotion. Compared with the brainless charge of the Japanese army, the ramming tactics of the Soviet army were more heroic and resolute in maintaining the dignity of a country.

The minds of the people who set out from the port were clouded with a haze, thinking of the Soviet fleet that awaited them on the high seas, and they were not worried. Still uneasy. It's been like this for so many years. The American fleet encountered one of the most dangerous sortie voyages. The Gulf War of 1991. The USS Enterprise is like an invincible giant monster that has made everyone in the Middle East see the horror of the United States. Even in 1962, when the U.S. Navy faced the Soviet maritime forces, it was not as worried as it is now.

And now, the mighty US Navy has nothing to do in front of the fleet of the USSR, and it is a big joke to spread it.

The Enterprise sailed out of the port and sailed in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz, where the final destination of the Chinese freighter was, so the Americans were not afraid of not being able to meet the Chinese freighter in the waters near the strait. As far as the eye can see, the sortie of the Enterprise is like towing a series of ships at the same time. It is worthy of being the most combat-ready naval country in the world today.

The calm sea is full of dense ships, they are like schools of swordfish, like a sharp sword into the deepest part of the ocean, and everywhere they pass will be cut by the sharp blade of all the challengers.

What may have surprised the American Enterprise was that the Soviet aircraft carrier Kuznetsov was also heading towards the Strait of Hormuz, and their fleet was walking on the side of the Chinese Yinhe in order to be alert to a sneak attack by the American fleet at any time.

In front of the Soviet Union's Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers, the Galaxy was like a rabbit that had met a giant elephant, and the black shadow covered most of the ship's branches.

"Why did the Soviet fleet choose to protect us, is it really just a matter of beware of us being raided by American ships?" The first mate Mi Junxi asked Captain Zhang Rude suspiciously. "Why do we deserve such protection from them? And Captain, how did you get in touch with this fleet? ”

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Captain Zhang Rude replied. It's not that he is tight-lipped, Zhang Rude doesn't know why there is a Soviet aircraft carrier fleet to escort him, except for the note sent by the people from the military region in person. Of course, the secret deals made by the top officials of the two governments are not something that a small man like him can know.

At this time, everything that happened in the Arabian Sea was still secret, and the Saudi side received a notice from the United States to strictly block all news about the Milky Way. It wasn't until after the U.S. deterred or defeated the Soviet fleet in the Arabian waters that Saudi Arabia's Al Jazeera broadcast a rhetorically embellished report.

Even the Saudi warship, which left its allies behind and fled, was secretly suppressed by the government without any noise for the time being, and the United States and its allies knew that such an incident at this time would only make the situation in the Arabian Sea worse.

At this time, the Arabian Sea is blue and bustling, and the warm sea water and sunlight turn this place into the most comfortable deep blue sea area, the sea surface is not waves, and it is as flat as a blue steel plate. But at this time, there is an impenetrable layer of conspiracy and suspicion that is gathering in the sky above this sea area, and various forces are once again competing in an attempt to turn the calm sea area into the Balkans of the Middle East, another version of the crisis in the Cuban seas.

However, it is clear that the Soviet side just wants to develop things in a more extreme direction, and when their radar detected the US reconnaissance plane, the Su-33 carrier-based aircraft urgently took off to intercept it, and the first round of confrontation had already begun before the two largest aircraft carrier groups in the world met.

The P8 anti-submarine reconnaissance plane, which claims to be the Poseidon of the US army, is in the Soviet fleet, and the US military has the right to do anything over the high seas, even if it is to monitor the movements of the Soviet aircraft carriers, it is impossible to directly launch an attack. If it had not been shot down by provocation, the American side would have regarded it as an act of war and had given the Soviet fleet an all-out attack.

An anti-submarine aircraft resembling a Boeing 737 is crossing the blue seas, approaching the red steel waves that are slowly advancing under the clouds. Suddenly, the radar of the anti-submarine aircraft caught a dark shadow on the screen, which was gradually approaching its reconnaissance plane. They hurriedly entered a state of emergency.

Through the glass window, they finally saw the Soviet Su-33 carrier-based aircraft hovering around them like a ghost, and the Su-33 pilot warned the US reconnaissance plane that this was the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and asked the US reconnaissance plane to quickly withdraw from the airspace.

In the process of approaching, the Su-33 fighter opened the rear speed brake to slow down, and closely monitored the US P8 reconnaissance plane, and the fighter's cannon aimed at the US reconnaissance plane, and the momentum was pressing. Looking through the window of the plane from the United States, the fighter planes surrounding him looked like a golden eagle with wings spread, and the airbrake opened on the back of the plane was like a neck feather, fierce and angry. In contrast, its own P8 anti-submarine aircraft is like an ugly, clumsy duck. Some stared at the incoming enemy in confusion.

Seeing that the other side did not make any moves, the Soviet fighter got closer and closer, and he slowly squeezed the P8 reconnaissance plane of the US army. Recently, the distance between the two planes was only about 3 meters, and the wingtips almost touched the wingtips, so that only part of it could be seen from the window. Its air-to-air missiles are close at hand, and the sharp leading edges of its wings glow in the sun. The Soviet pilot looked coldly at the crew of the anti-submarine aircraft. The crew of the US military felt the atmosphere depressed and vaguely worried that something bad would happen.

However, the Su-33 did not act for a long time, and the US reconnaissance plane pilots thought that the other party was only verbally warning and forced them to leave this sea area before adopting this risky method, so the P8 anti-submarine reconnaissance plane directly ignored the pilot's warning and let the plane continue to fly forward to collect information on the Soviet warship.

Seeing that the other party ignored his warning, the driver of the Su-33 was obviously a little angry. The arrogant attitude of the Americans angered the young man, and he said to the crew of the anti-submarine aircraft in Russian English, "Hey, Yankee, have you heard of the Barents Sea scalpel incident?" ”

The Americans did not want to pay attention to the provocation of the Su-33 driver, but what he said made the American driver feel a little uneasy. At the beginning, the Barents Sea was also a duel between reconnaissance planes and Soviet-style fighters, and it was exactly the same as the scene in front of them.

The eyes of the Su-33 pilot flashed with a cold cold light, and he suddenly said something that made the US military tremble, "The Su-27 pilot who carried out the scalpel at that time was my flight teacher." (To be continued.) )
