Soon Angus and others successfully crossed the strait, and then the information was reported to the command center where Kent and I were, just like snowflakes.

These intelligence mainly include the distribution of radar stations on Pepur Island, the location of the airport, the number and distribution of aircraft, as well as the surrounding terrain and locations suitable for helicopter airborne, etc.

From this I also learned the main process of British special forces' combat... They did not just drive into the tiger's den in helicopters like we saw on TV and movies, but sent a small group in advance.

The detachment, that is, the advance team, learn more detailed information and then formulate a combat plan based on this information in the shortest time.

In fact, I think the early reconnaissance activities are the most difficult. Just like now, Angus's advance team took great effort to reach Pepur Island... It's not like to arrive at Pepur Island.

The difficulty lies in arriving and obtaining accurate information without Argentine troops.

After this step, things become simpler. As there is a saying: "There is no line of defense in the world that cannot be broken." Any line of defense has its weaknesses. Once we have mastered the detailed information of this line of defense, it means that we can

Easily use the weaknesses of this defense line to penetrate the inside of the defense line.

So half an hour later, fifty sas team members who were ready to go flew to Pepur Island in three helicopters.

Of course, these three helicopters, like the previous helicopter, also crossed the island of Horse Island and approached Pepur Island from the main island.

It is obvious that this method is useful because the Argentines had no reaction to the three helicopters at all.

Then the battle started soon, and after the sas team joined the advance team, they rushed into the airport with lightning speed under the cover of the helicopter and the Antrim naval gun...

Although I was not on the scene, I could imagine the Argentine garrison at the airport being in a mess under the precise strike of naval guns and helicopters. The sas team members took this time to go straight to their respective targets in groups of four people...

and radar station.

At this time, the Argentines thought that the British army was just bombing them and hiding in air raid shelters. They didn't expect that the British army had already entered the airport to move. At the same time, the British reconnaissance planes also interfered with the island of Perpur.

Even if some people discovered the crisis, they could not inform the other Argentinians in time to prepare. So the sas team members easily defeated them and installed time bombs in the aircraft and radar stations.

With the explosions, all targets including six radar stations and fifteen aircraft on Pepur Island were blown up.

It is worth mentioning that when installing time bombs on the aircraft, sas is deliberately installed on the same part.

"The benefits of this are obvious!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent explained: "If we installed these bombs in different parts, it is very likely that the Argentines would take different parts from the wreckage of the plane and do integrated repairs, but if we

They damaged the same parts... Obviously, they couldn't even repair a plane."

"Um!" I couldn't help but nod my head secretly as I heard this.

If there hadn't been a few practical battles, I wouldn't have thought that there would be such a priority in installing explosives.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Then the correspondent reported to Kent: "Except for one team member being injured, all the rest are safe. They have left the battlefield and are on the helicopter back!"

"Ha!" A cheer came from the command center soon.

I have to admit that this is indeed an amazing result. It is only seventeen minutes away from the battle. And the nails with many radars and aircraft were removed at the cost of an injury. This is not an ordinary one.

The troops can do it.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Just as the British troops in the command room were still cheering, the correspondent opened his mouth and reported: "The Sheffield was hit by an enemy missile, and ordered us to go for reinforcements immediately!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Of course, I am the only one here who is not surprised by this.

Later it is said that the Argentinians were able to hit the Sheffield this time, which actually had many luck elements.

First of all, several warships in the British fleet saw the traces of two Argentine fighter jets in the radar and issued warnings. Of course, this trace is not very obvious... Argentina's two super military flags are super low altitude.

It is only ten meters away from the sea and is close to the British fleet.

From this point of view, I have to admire the superb driving level of the Argentine pilot. You must know that the waves are still very large at this time, and a height of more than ten meters is possible that the waves may hit the plane, which means that if you are not careful,

It is the ending of the destruction of the plane.

At this time, the radar of the British fleet could not see Argentine fighter jets, but Argentine fighter jets could not lock in the target, so Argentine fighter jets made two leaps in this... The purpose was to discover the target and input the target's data into the flying fish

The missile did not find the target for the first jump, but the second jump locked the Sheffield. In just a few seconds, these two jumps immediately returned to an extremely low-altitude approach.

The British fleet saw these two leaps in the radar and reported the situation to the aircraft carrier. But it happened that... it was a coincidence that the British army received a false alarm in the morning due to a radar failure, so the British commander

For granted, I thought these two times were false alarms caused by radar failure, so I ignored it at all.

What happened was that Sheffield was still in contact with the British mainland using satellite phones, and the satellite phone and the carrier-based electric warfare system could not be used at the same time. That is to say, the Sheffield's electric warfare system was in

Close state… Later I knew it turned on the electric warfare system in the last few seconds of the missile approaching and found the missile flying to it, but at this time all they could do was shout: "Get down."

!”

In fact, this cannot be said to be a coincidence, but should be said to be the inevitable consequence of the British army underestimating the enemy.

The reason is very simple. If the British army had not underestimated the enemy and thought that Argentina was not able to fight against them, such repeated "mistakes" would not have occurred.

Needless to say, the next thing is that the Flying Fish missile hit the middle section of the Sheffield and inserted it into the hull from the starboard side. Although it did not explode, the solid fuel it carried caused a fire.

"Go to rescue now!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent quickly issued an order.

So the Antrim immediately made a 180-degree turn and drove straight towards the Sheffield accident point.

More than ten minutes later, we saw a ball of fire on the sea from afar, and many warship lights or control lights were circling around the flames. From time to time, some flares and other things would be fired.

The sky shines in white.

At first I thought they were searching for the sea to see if there were any sailors who fell into the water. Later I realized that these warships were actually worried that Argentine submarines would take this opportunity to launch a raid on them and be alerted around.

This is actually the reason why Krapp was anxious to order Antrim to go for reinforcements... Krapp was worried that the Argentines were not just a missile, but his fleet would also take advantage of this time to counterattack.

But it is obvious that the Argentines did not do this because the British warships guarded around them found no danger.

In addition to a warship suspected of finding a submarine behind the Sheffield ship and continuously firing deep-water bombs... it was later proved that it was not an Argentine submarine, but a pumping motor started by Sheffield due to water inlets.

sound.

From this point of view, it can also be said that the Argentine Navy is too passive and negative. It is just because of its insufficient anti-submarine capabilities and the submarines are not advanced without the British army. They stay in the port and don't dare to move... If they come out to fight a war now, they don't care.

After all, you will also receive some results of victory and pursuit.

As soon as the Antrim arrived at the scene, he quickly joined the ranks of alert and search submarines. I was idle and raised my telescope to look at the burning Sheffield. At this time, it was completely lost.

The power was drifting with the flow, and under the fire, there were many British sailors busy extinguishing fire with various tools on the ship... But I knew it was futile. After a few hours, they had to abandon the ship. This ship was called the British army's most advanced.

The destroyer will drift on the sea for six days before eventually sinking.

"Colin!" At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kent walked up to me and said, "General Clap wants to see you!"

"Um!" I couldn't help but nodded when I heard this. It was time to meet.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Xia and I were in front of Clap, who looked embarrassed... At this time, he and his command had temporarily moved to the "Glasgow".

"Colin!" Seeing Lin Xia and I walk in, Clap said with regret: "It's hard to imagine. I actually ignored your warnings and finally made this big mistake..."

"There are no big casualties!" I interrupted Clap.

After all, Clap was a brigade general and one of the main commanders of the fleet. I don't want him to lose too much majesty in front of his subordinates.

"What can be confirmed now is that we have lost 20 soldiers!" Clap replied: "The injured are not sure!"

Then Clap stood up and looked at the Sheffield, which was already a ball of fire, and said: "It is hard to imagine that a small missile can cause such great damage to a warship, and even this missile did not explode due to the fuse problem!

The Sheffield is over, it’s all my fault!”

"No, general!" I said: "There will be losses in war, and now is not the time to hold people accountable! Have you ever thought about the next threat that the Flying Fish Missile poses to the British fleet?"

"But what can this happen?" Clap said hatefully: "Argentina has only five flying fish missiles in total, and two have been used now, which means they still have three, even if they sink three more ships in our army.

Warships cannot change wars!”

"No!" I shook my head: "The general should consider that Argentina may sink an aircraft carrier!"

Krapp was stunned when he heard this and said, "What do you mean... Argentina will then target aircraft carriers?"

"Of course!" I replied: "The general should also know that sinking an aircraft carrier is actually not more difficult than sinking a warship, and it may even be easier than sinking a warship!"

"Yeah!" Clap nodded with a serious expression.

The equipment of aircraft carriers is indeed advanced, but it is well known that aircraft carriers are an offensive weapon, and their attack power mainly comes from aircraft carriers. This means that the defense of aircraft carriers is very weak, and it can even be said that if they are single

An aircraft carrier basically has no defense. This is also the reason why it needs various warships and submarines to form an aircraft carrier battle group together.

Of course, except for the Soviet aircraft carriers. The Soviet Union developed aircraft carriers have always had air-carrier aircraft and many other equipment on them. Although this has made the aircraft carrier both offense and defense, it sacrificed the air-priced space on the aircraft carrier.

It reduces its overall combat performance.

Another very important point is that because of its huge size, the aircraft carrier is easily discovered by radar and becomes an excellent target.

"I think..." I continued: "Argentina is likely not sure how much damage the flying fish missile will cause to warships, or it can be said that it has a try-out mentality, so it will first lock the target.

Aboard the Sheffield. Now, they are convinced that the power of the Fly Fish missile is enough to sink a large tonnage warship. I think there is no reason for them not to turn their attention to the aircraft carrier next.

General, you can think about what would be the result if Argentina had sunk an aircraft carrier!"

Upon hearing this, Krapp's face changed: "We will lose this war and have to withdraw our country!"

"This is exactly what I worry about!" I said: "This is what Argentina wants to see. When the British army cannot stop them in other aspects, I believe they want to fight to the death with the remaining three flying fish missiles!"

There is no doubt about this. After all, this is not much loss for Argentina. Anyway, the situation is not optimistic now that the British special fleet is under the brink of the enemy. So why use missiles to gamble?

"You are right!" After thinking about it, Clap frowned: "If the war is ended with the way the aircraft carrier is sunk, the blow to Britain will be immeasurable. We must not let this happen!

”

As he said that, he turned around and said to the correspondent soldier beside him: "Catch General Woodward for me now!"
