Chapter 3 Conflict between Korea and South Korea

The commander of Ulyanovsk said that it was only the driver of the MiG-29K who made a mistake in lowering the auxiliary fuel tank in a tense situation and dropped it. He did not deliberately drop a bomb on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. In fact, the MiG-29K The Ge-[-]K is not equipped with bombs at all, and the so-called war is simply nonsense.Moreover, the Soviet fleet is also willing to stop this, and apologized to the captain for the previous offensive behavior.

However, if you compare the records, you will know why the Soviet Union first requested a truce. Those Arleigh Burkes have been hit terribly, and there is another Arleigh Burke that was attacked by the explosion of the MiG auxiliary fuel tank. Although it did not cause much impact on the hull , But there were quite a few sailors on deck who were carried into the infirmary because of severe burns after being attacked by such an explosion.The Soviet Air Force retaliated by doing a little trick in that drop tank, turning aviation fuel into something like an incendiary petrol bomb.

Rothman quickly agreed to Captain Ulyanovsk's request, and he said silently in his heart, "Thank God, these desperate monsters are finally leaving, and we can finally leave here in peace."

Although the USS Washington and the Japanese King Kong-class destroyers have experienced the crazy collision methods of Soviet ships, they frightened the Kiev-class commanders out of their wits. Like their crazy Ivan, the imagination that had been in their minds before became a terrifying reality at this moment.

The Varyag in the back has been eyeing it without making a move. It seems to just ensure that no one will interfere with the contest between the Washington and the Ulyanovsk. As long as this Kiev-class ship dares to act rashly, then the Varyag will definitely attack. .Dealing with South Korea is not like dealing with the United States. Even if Varyag fired the first anti-ship missile, what else could South Korea do besides strongly condemning it afterwards?

The Soviet fleet just watched the USS Washington and other fleets leave in disgrace. The guards of the Republic warned these outsiders with blood and loyalty, don't try to take advantage of our land.

The Soviet aircraft carrier and frigate did not leave. They seemed to have frozen huge figures in the dark. When Daniel looked back with lingering fear, he saw their figures followed the setting sun, slowly swallowed by the darkness, and finally disappeared in the In the dark.

Rothman was in no mood to worry about other things anymore, and the injured sailor had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.The violent explosion ignited their clothes. What is strange is that after the burning fuel stained their bodies, they could no longer shake off. They had to use a knife to goug out the things stuck to their skin.

At this moment, Rothman understood that it was not an accidental drop of the auxiliary fuel tank at all, but a long-planned attack.They made the drop tanks into incendiary Napalm bombs to avenge their anti-submarine pilots.

Just after the exercise ended, both the United States and the Soviet Union issued a statement at the same time. The White House spokesperson stated that they were blocked by the Soviet fleet during the exercise in the Western Pacific Ocean, and an Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft caused damage to the USS Eisenhower. suffered a major loss.

For this reason, the fleets of the Soviet Union and the United States had a confrontation in the Western Pacific, and a Soviet MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft deliberately dropped bombs on the deck of the American Arleigh Burke destroyer, resulting in the death of three sailors, and Four are still receiving emergency treatment for severe burns.They also promised to return the bodies of the Soviet pilots.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Aspin was in an angry mood at this time. First of all, he did not expect that he did not see through the inferior lies of the Soviets, and deliberately walked into their trap, which led to the accident.What made him even more angry was that he did not expect that the Pacific Fleet would directly encircle and attack the US fleet, causing heavy losses to the entire fleet.

What the Soviet Foreign Minister said was of course completely different from that of the United States. The Soviets said that the actions of the United States in the Western Pacific seriously damaged the sovereignty of the Soviet Union and caused the death of four pilots of the Soviet anti-submarine aircraft. This is absolutely unforgivable behavior.

"All countries that infringe on the sovereign interests of the Soviet Union will be punished as they should be. No matter whether he is one of the few powerful countries or not. All accomplices must also be punished, whether he has done it himself or not. The Soviet will never let anyone go One, absolutely not."

Such a threatening warning is not the first time for the United States, so the United States can ignore the threat of the Soviet Union.But the surrounding small countries are out of luck.Because once the Soviet Union issued a strike declaration, they must be the first to be unlucky, not the United States.

Sure enough, before the incident subsided for a long time, the Soviet Union's retaliation began.With the support and instigation of the Soviet government, North Korea fired more than 200 artillery shells directly at Yeonpyeong Island in South Korea, and these shells were all aimed at the residential area on Yeonpyeong Island, causing more than 30 civilians to be injured in a short time. people die.

It was North Korea's first attack on South Korea since 1994, shelling the border with lightning speed.

Subsequently, South Korea also adopted the same counterattack policy, using K-9 self-propelled artillery to fire at least 80 shells near the North Korean coastal artillery base to counterattack.

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense issued the highest alert to the North Korean side on this matter, and Air Force fighter planes flew over Yanping Island to conduct inspections.The South Korean military has now ordered to enter the highest response situation for local provocations, activated the crisis management system, and strengthened the alert situation of the entire army.

However, what is strange is that after the shelling incident, the North Korean side calmed down, as if nothing had happened, and Kim Jong Il did not necessarily have any further provocative remarks.It seems that this shelling incident was nothing more than a random mistake, but some high-level officials in the South Korean government are very clear that this is a nomination certificate from North Korea.They hoped to get aid from the Soviet Union again.

Not long after the shelling incident between North Korea and South Korea ended, Yanayev started his visit to North Korea. Kim Jong-il gave the highest standard of reception to this. Aid also made their life more and more difficult.Being able to regain aid from the Soviet Union is a very continuous thing for North Korea.

Indeed, this time Yanayev brought them a generous gift, which was enough to make North Korea happy and South Korea worried.

Chapter 3 Nine A Gift

"You said that the Soviet Union is willing to provide North Korea with MiG-23 and MiG-29 fighter jets, Blizzard rocket launchers, and T72 tanks? Will it even support us in the inter-Korean conflict?" After hearing Yanayev's offer of assistance, Kim Jong-il said, He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, as if someone suddenly gave him a big meal when he was hungry in North Korea. Facing such a rich food, his strong curiosity covered up his hunger.

朝鲜在坦克拥有的数量方面虽然已经超过了绝大多数国家，甚至超越了德国。但是大多数是老式的T54和T62式坦克，甚至还有少量的二战时期的T34坦克。而T72对于朝鲜来讲就如同罕见的珍宝一样。更别提在1987年才进入苏联服役的暴风雪多管火箭炮。这一笔援助的慷慨让朝鲜难以想象。

"Of course, the Soviet Union did not provide these things for free. I just want to know what you would do if North Korea and South Korea caused border conflicts together?" Yanayev looked at Kim Jong Il and asked word by word, "I want to know how far you can lead to conflict?"

"Don't tell me that the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island is nothing more than an innocuous blow to the conflict between North Korea and South Korea. I want to know which step you can do what your father did back then?" Yanayev said The most important thing is that with the support of Stalin, Kim Il Sung took the lead in launching an offensive to flatten South Korea.

Hearing Yanayev's words, Kim Jong-il's face instantly became ugly, and he whispered, "Chairman Yanayev, you should know that no one will allow such a thing to happen, China does not allow it, Japan does not It is allowed, and neither is the United States."

Because the relationship between North Korea and the Soviet Union did not fall into a deadlock, Kim Jong Il would not appear to be as desperate and hysterical as Kim Jong Un, but would be very cautious about the relationship between the surrounding allies.He wouldn't do such an incendiary act.

"Did I say that I need you to start a Korean war? No one wants to see the capital of South Korea in flames. I just need you to start an armed struggle between the two Koreas. Right on the [-]th parallel On the border, it is limited to the [-]th parallel.” Yanayev tilted his head and said to Kim Jong-il, “Otherwise, why do you think the Soviet Union will provide you with a batch of military aid for no reason? We just want to see North Korea What kind of loss can it bring to South Korea?"

"If possible, we will also provide you with short-range missiles. Of course, it is a little difficult for you to hit the United States, but I think it will be no problem to move Seoul to the ground. Beech, SAM anti-aircraft missiles, tornado and hail Rockets, these are all yours, as long as you dare to do it, the Soviet Union will support you."

Yanayev's attitude has been made clear. As long as North Korea dares to fire the first shot, the Soviet Union will unswervingly stand by Kim Jong-il's side no matter how South Korea blames North Korea.

"Of course I would. North Korea's greatest hope is to unify the Korean peninsula, expel the lackeys of capitalism from the peninsula, and plant red flags all over South Korea."

Kim Jong-il's inflated ambitions coincided with Yanayev's revenge. Under the instigation of the Soviet Union, South Korean military officers began to secretly plan and prepare to provoke a border conflict.Of course, Yanayev had already greeted the Chinese side in this carefully planned conflict, and after confirming that the other party would not raise objections to this, Yanayev let Kim Jong-il do it without worry.

This is indeed Yanayev's most generous assistance. There are 23 MiG-5 fighter jets, 29 MiG-2 fighter jets, 2 Blizzard multiple rocket launchers, and 72 T8 tanks.In Yanayev's eyes, although these are just monkey versions, even if they are sold to Indian Asan, they will make more money than selfless aid to North Korea.But for the sake of strategic interests, the Soviet Union had to do this.

All the weapons arrived in Pyongyang by sea, and then were quickly deployed by North Korea to border bases. This time, North Korea's provocations were not concentrated in one area, but scattered in different areas on the [-]th parallel and fired at the same time.

Storm rockets aimed at the military base on the South Korean border. More than 200 rockets headed towards the position where the South Korean army was pouring like an iron curtain rain. A huge explosion swept the entire barracks. After the artillery fire subsided, countless People fell to the ground and groaned, mottled blood, incomplete buildings and tanks burning with flames, carrying the punishment from communism.

The bloody incidents that erupted at six border points on the [-]th Parallel at the same time shocked the then South Korean President Kim Young-sam, who immediately announced that he would send fighter jets across the [-]th Parallel to attack North Korea.Just as he made the decision at a news conference, North Korea launched another round of rocket attacks.

This time they aimed at the towns on the border, the howling rockets tore through the dark night sky, and those who fell asleep were awakened one after another. After the explosion, the whole city began to burn.

The crowd was quickly evacuated into the air-raid shelter, and the unlucky one was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.The shelling killed at least 30 civilians and injured more than 100.

Just when South Korea's armored forces wanted to cross the border to fight back, they were intercepted by T72 tanks that had been ambushing for a long time. They were horrified to find that the North Korean army on the opposite side was using the latest Soviet-style tanks.

When Yanayev saw the burning North Korean city on the TV news, he just lightly raised the glass full of vodka in his hand, and whispered to the bleeding crowd, "All of this, It's for our hawthorn flowers."

This is just the first step in Soviet revenge, as part of the price South Korea paid for participating in the joint military exercise.

After the border conflict, the Soviet Union was the first to issue a statement in support of North Korea's actions. He stated that he would respect the Korean People's Army's move to liberate the Korean Peninsula and achieve reunification.If necessary, the Soviet government will provide certain military assistance to the North Korean army.This is also the first time after more than half a century that the Soviet Union has issued such a strong and aggressive foreign statement on the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

The reaction of the Soviet Union made South Korean President Kim Young-sam understand who was the mastermind behind the conflict. The gloomy-eyed Soviet chairman was behind everything and was also the chief culprit of this incident.And all he did was to retaliate against the previous joint military exercise.

Chapter 3 Ten Revenge Won't Stop

Emperor Haishan and the Qiandao Islands have returned to their former peace, as if that grand exercise was just a short-lived mirage. The huge aircraft carrier battle group, the burning anti-submarine reconnaissance plane, and the fallen red star on the tail of the plane have all become The yellow flowers of yesterday were buried in this sea area.

The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has lasted for more than 40 years, and the conflicts in this sea area have been continuous, from the crazy Ivan in the underwater submarine, to the "my ship was ordered to hit your ship" in the surface fleet, and even the fallen steel eagle in the sky, the defender of the Soviet Union With blood and loyalty, they defend the country's territory and dignity.

The Alekseevka Air Force Base held a commemorative ceremony for the deceased pilots and awarded them the Hero of the Soviet Union medal.And the red 38 number of the Il-47 and Hawthorn anti-submarine aircraft has been preserved forever and has become a symbol of bravery at the Alekseev Air Force Base.Also not only Arikseevka, Dulinsk Air Force Base, and Liulindorf Air Force Base also held commemorative and mourning ceremonies for the hero of the Republic.

Since then, the reconnaissance planes, anti-submarine planes and early warning planes of the Alekseyevka Air Force Base will adjust the channel to the same channel of the crashed plane when they fly over that sea area, and then say softly, "Red 47, the mission is over. Come, comrade, please come home with us."

"Repeat, your mission is over, please come home with us."

This simple sentence has become an unwritten rule among the pilots of the Alekseyevka Air Force Base. They firmly believe that the numbered red 47 anti-submarine aircraft and the souls of the crew still linger in this sea area, like a red ghost. Guarding the territory of the motherland, relying on the immortal faith and loyalty to the faith.

The dead lie in the tomb for future generations to mourn and commemorate, but those who are still alive have to continue to fight and walk the road that those people did not finish.Yanayev doesn't want the South Korean president to dismiss himself with an apology. If an apology is useful, does the world still need five permanent members of the United Nations to maintain order?It's a joke.

April has entered the warm fishing season again. Both Korean and Japanese fishermen will take advantage of this moment to carry out large-scale fishing, otherwise they will only starve when the fishing moratorium comes.Of course, in the past there were always some daring fishermen who crossed their own waters and went to areas controlled by the Soviet Union to catch fish, or inadvertently crossed the national border when chasing fish. Before the United Fleet incident, for such The illegal behavior of the Soviet Navy was nothing more than a verbal warning and advising the other party to leave, because they did not want to repeat the maritime version of the 1983 airliner incident.

However, this time the Navy received an order from Leningrad that as long as North Korean or South Korean fishermen crossed the border, it was considered an act of aggression, which fully complied with the Soviet Union's rules of engagement in war.The patrol ship opened fire without warning or mercy.This is the highest combat order from the Soviet Union.

It is obvious that the relationship between the Soviet Union and the two allies of the United States is deteriorating rapidly. Yanayev tried to use a crude expression of the fighting nation to warn the other party, what will happen to you.And the Soviet Navy also firmly believes that no warning can be more unforgettable than a bloody conflict.The Soviet Union's vengeance and bloodshed will not stop until the other party really realizes who he is.

Soon the Soviet navy seized the opportunity. A Japanese fishing boat crossed the Soviet maritime border while hunting for fish, and the sonar buoys immediately grasped its exact location.At the same time, a patrolling Hyundai-class destroyer quickly rushed towards the small boat, and the sailors on it were all sailors who had suffocated their anger during the last confrontation with the USS Washington.

When the modern-class destroyer arrived at the designated combat position, the Japanese fishermen waved their hands and replied in broken Russian that they would leave here soon, waiting for them to finish catching these fish.These Japanese foolishly thought that the Soviet Navy would just verbally warn them and expel them as before, but they ignored that the recent relationship between the Soviet Union and Japan was not very friendly.

The people on the destroyer were not very merciful this time. Just as the Japanese fishermen were scrambling to pick up their fishing nets, the 630MM cannon of the AK30 aimed at their fishing boat and opened fire.
