Needless to mention the widespread use of mines during World War II, it was that during the Korean War in the early 1950s, the Soviet Union provided North Korea with 3,000 mines, many of which were "old antiques" from 1904; these were used to defend the Yuanshan port. *1*1* As a result, the joint forces spent several weeks cleaning up these mines, and more than a dozen ships were attacked by mines; and half of the ships were destroyed.

Although the mines are insignificant and have never been valued, they have great power!.

Because the Strait of Hormuz is relatively narrow and the channel is curved, Iran can completely use its geographical advantages to quietly lay mines at night, so that it can completely block the entire Strait of Hormuz!

The only disadvantage is that mines do not recognize people. In other words, if Iran builds mines in the Strait, it is correct to block all countries in the Persian Gulf, but the Iranians' own ships cannot be driven out.

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz with mines is a double-edged sword, which hurts others while hurting yourself.

However, by now, the threat to other countries along the Persian Gulf coast is definitely the greatest.

The attacks of anti-ship missiles and small boats temporarily stopped shipping for a few days, and these Arab countries could not stand it and launched such a large-scale operation. Now, if the entire strait was blocked with mines, even if these Arab countries immediately carried out clearance operations, it would take ten days and half a month. At that time, these countries would probably not be able to cry.

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

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

"Prepare immediately, just tonight, cover the entire Strait of Hormuz!" Khomeini said.

"Yes!" Ali replied excitedly.

………

Baghdad.

The current situation is very beneficial to Iraq. Iraq has played a huge role in the escort operations with Saudi Arabia and other countries. Moreover, several Iraqi fighter jets are already stationed in Saudi Arabia's air force bases, carrying missiles against ships, and can support escort formations at any time.

Kusai was thinking about Iraq's future strategy. This time, the Iranians' ship attacks were almost crushed by themselves. The Iranians launched an anti-ship missile attack and bombed his launch equipment. The Iranians launched a small boat to attack quickly and arranged a large amount of manpower, which was available on every cargo ship. In this case, the Iranians were probably already exhausted?

Moreover, through this maritime exercise, the Iraqi army was running in with the armies of other countries. Later, when they cooperated with the armies of these countries, this was a very good start.

The American forces, under the resistance of the entire Arab forces, have been wandering in the Arabian Sea and not entering the Persian Gulf. This is a very proud result.

After the ship attack war between Iran and Iran, Saddam did not care about the lives and deaths of other Arab brothers and fought against Iran. As a result, Kuwait, which supports Iraq, was unable to withstand the frequent attacks of tankers and took the lead in inviting the US Navy to protect their 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 by itself. But now, Iraq does not have that much strength yet.

Then, it would be better to negotiate with Oman and lay out a military base on the prominent land in Oman on the south side of the Strait of Hormuz to monitor the whereabouts of the Iranians nearby. This will be of great benefit to controlling the Strait of Hormuz. However, will Oman be able to set up a base by himself? It is very difficult.

Kusai opened his eyes. At this time, Ajelina was still rubbing his whole body lightly. Kusai felt very comfortable. He hadn't enjoyed it like this for a long time. Especially now that the weather is getting hotter, Ajelina only wore a close-fitting nightgown, and she didn't even wear underwear. You can see the two little beans on her chest from the veil-like clothes, and her hot figure can be picked by Kusai at any time.

Feeling Ajelina's soft little hands, Kusai felt that the primitive instinct in his body was slowly reviving. It had been a long time since he got close to Ajelina.

Just as he was about to reach his hand to the base of Ajlina's thigh and tease the clear Koizumi, Kusai suddenly remembered another thing: "Ajlina, what is the attitude of the Soviet Union towards our actions in the Persian Gulf?"

Ajelina can be said to be completely standing here in Kusai, and she would say without reservation about all the situations in the Soviet Union: "The Soviet Union also attaches great importance to the interests of the Persian Gulf and does not want the American forces to intervene. If the Americans escort, then the Soviet warships will also escort the Soviet cargo ships into the Persian Gulf. However, the Soviet Union does not want any conflict with the United States now."

"Why?"

"Because the war in Afghanistan has restrained most of the Soviet Union's military power, the Soviet Union does not want to have conflicts with the United States because the Soviet Union has no money to fight. In fact, the Soviet Union is very grateful to Khomeini now." Ajelina smiled a little naughty. She had taken the initiative to hold Kusai's hand and put it deep in the jungle where she was not wearing underwear.

"The Soviet Union thanked Khomeini? Didn't Khomeini call the Soviet Union a little Satan?"

"Because Khomeini blocked the Strait of Hormuz, the world's crude oil prices began to rise. The Soviet economy now relies almost entirely on the export of oil to Western Europe. The rising price is of great benefit to the Soviet Union. All the oil fields and refineries in the Soviet Union are now producing at full capacity and producing at full capacity. All the oil wells are spraying oil outwards!

Although the Soviet Union did not think about actually fighting, the Soviet warships stayed in the Arabian Sea, which also restrained the United States' great energy. A war in Afghanistan actually left the huge army of the Red Empire without any effort to take into account other aspects. However, history is continuing to move forward. In a few months, there will be a small-scale confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. How can it gain the advantage of both sides in it? Kusai was thinking.

Suddenly, Kusai felt a wet feeling in his hand, and Ajelina's small oil well was also spraying oil outwards!

This is a night full of tenderness and passion.

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

There was no boat moving on the calm sea. After the joint sea and air exercises during the day, the formation escorted cargo ships and tankers entering and leaving the Strait of Hormuz twice, without any harassement. It seems that the exercise did shock the Iranians. They came once and beat them once!

The escort formation stayed in Dhahran and was preparing to continue the escort mission tomorrow.

At this time, the Strait of Hormuz was quiet everywhere, with only the sea water gently knocking on the rocks on the shore, making a rustling sound.

Suddenly, from a distance to the calm sea, a roar from the sea was heard. A small missile boat was cutting through the water and quietly sailing to the sea near Oman on the south side of the Strait of Hormuz.

This is an Iranian Navy's "Stone Crossbow" class missile boat, which comes from the French "Soldier" Iii patrol boat. The Iranian Navy ordered it from the Normandy Shipyard in February 1974. The first nine boats were completed and put into service from 1977 to 1978. The latter three boats were delayed until July 12, 1981 due to the revolution in Iran. The class of boats is 47 meters long, 7.1 meters wide, 1.9 meters draft, 249 tons of standard displacement, and 275 tons of full load displacement. The power unit is 4 mtu16v538tb91 diesel engines, with a total power of 9.03 megawatts, four-axis propulsion, a maximum speed of 37.5 knots, and a maximum range of 2,000 nautical miles/15 knots.

This kind of boat with a capacity of more than 200 tons is very light in the Persian Gulf. Although it is enough to use a boat worth more than ten meters long when siegeing oil tankers, this kind of missile boat is just enough for the current mission.

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

At this time, the platform behind the missile boat was already carrying mines, which was an old-fashioned m08 anchor mine.

There are many types of mines, and this kind of anchor thunder refers to mines fixed to a certain depth under the sea water. There is a thunder anchor underneath and sinks to the bottom of the water to fix the anchor thunder to avoid floating. The thunder body is tied with a thunder body through the thunder rope. By tuning the length of the thunder rope, the anchor thunder can be fixed to a certain depth. When a ship passes by, it hits the anchor thunder, and an explosion will occur.

At this time, the m08 anchor lightning looks a bit cartoonish from the outside. It is a black spherical thunder body, and the lower part inside is a room with a Thunder room and an electric detonator. The upper part is empty, which allows the lightning body to float. On the top of the lightning body, there are five things like antennae. These are triggering devices. When the hull hits, the antennae will break, and at the same time it will trigger a fuse and explode.

Below is a cylindrical object, wrapped in it with thunder ropes, and the length needs to be set according to the specific depth. If it is too short, the thunder body cannot reach the bottom of the ship and cannot be triggered. If it is too long, the anchor thunder will be exposed on the water surface and will be found.

"The depth is forty-five meters, and you are ready to start dropping." said the captain.

Hearing the captain's order, the crew members were immediately busy. They set up the anchor thunder's Reso and then pushed it onto the release slide at the rear.

"Start release, fifty meters per piece." The captain then ordered.

The crew slowly pushed the mine back from the slide. With a thud, the anchor lightning slid into the water and disappeared. At the same time, the boat began to move forward, and the crew then released the second, the third...

On this night, almost all the small boats in Iran were dispatched, and several dense mine networks were arranged along the waterway. Any ship passing through here would be 100% sure that it would touch the mine! (To be continued...)
