May 25th is Argentina's National Day.

Today in history, they overthrew the Spanish rule and established the Government Affairs Council, so they designated this day as the revolutionary anniversary, which is the National Day.

This day is of course an important day for them, which can be seen from the fact that the only aircraft carrier in Argentina was also named "May 25".

It happened that this day came two days after the British Army attacked Shangma Island.

So this undoubtedly gave the Argentine government a chance, an opportunity to incite all Argentine military branches to fight to the death to resist the British attack.

In fact, the Argentine government had to do this at this time, because the British army had already gained a foothold in the Port of San Carlos on the Island of Cambodia, while the Argentine army on the Island of Cambodia was not even very big.

reaction.

It can be imagined that although the main battlefield of this war was a sea and air war in the waters of the Cambodian Islands, its ultimate goal was the substantial occupation of the Cambodian Islands by the army.

If the Argentine government does not do anything, and wait until the British army further expands its forces on the Cavaliers and marchs towards Port Stanley, then this battle can be said to be the overall situation. Even if the Argentines can sink the British aircraft carrier, it will be useless.

.

So it was natural that the Argentinians launched a large-scale counterattack on this day.

The battle was very fierce on this day, but like the usual battles, the Argentine Air Force was able to play a role.

The Argentine Air Force can almost be said to have dispatched all the air force, including bombers and fighters, more advanced supersonic daggers and spiral Pukara fighters... In short, the sky is full of blackness at any time.

Sometimes I can see several civil aviation aircraft in the telescope with only a machine gun on the hatch door.

Of course, the missions of these civil aviation aircraft are the same as those of Phantom 3. They are used to attract the firepower of the Harrier fighter, but the role they can play is conceivable.

At this time, the targets of these fighter jets were mainly targeting British warships, troop transport ships and transport ships near the Port of San Carlos.

This tactic is of course correct. As long as it can cause enough losses to the troop transport ship and transport ship, it will be equivalent to attacking the British army's supply line in Port San Carlos.

In fact, the Argentine Air Force has achieved some success at this point.

The main reason is that the British special intermediary fleet is still worried about one problem, that is, there is also a flying fish missile on Argentina.

The sinking of the two ships, Sheffield and Atlantic Transporter, made the British realize that the Flying Fish Missile is fully capable of sinking aircraft carriers with a displacement of 20,000 tons, so as long as the Argentinians did not fire this Flying Fish Missile, the aircraft carrier would never dare to

Too swagger.

This greatly restricted the British fleet's operations to support landings.

The fleet must be divided into two parts, one part is used to support landing troops and ensure their subsequent supply. The other part is used to protect aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carriers have to change their positions from time to time and dare not be too close to the Cavaliers.

Otherwise, it will be easy to find a chance to attack the Argentines.

This brings a problem to the British fleet. The aircraft carrier is far from the Cambridge Island, which means that the Harrier must fly a distance to reach the Cambridge Island to participate in the war. The combat time is also limited, and it must be divided into two batches to take turns

Fighting...

It was precisely because the Argentine Air Force seized this point, so it used a large number of fighter jets and even civil aviation aircraft to bomb British warships and transport ships arranged near the Port of San Carlos. Among them, the Harrier could only support the left.

Right clumsy is busy.

But the failure of Argentina is that the bombing of the air force should be coordinated with the attack of the ground forces. Only in this way can it be meaningful and cause substantial damage to the landing British Army... The reason is very simple. The Argentine Air Force on this day

It did achieve great results, sinking one ship seriously injured two ships, forcing them to withdraw from the battlefield. At this time, if the ground forces launched a continuous attack on the British Army at the same time and consumed British ammunition

.It is obvious that the British Army will soon fall into the dilemma of insufficient supply.

However, none of this happened, and what was revealed before us was the Argentine Air Force's solo fight.

"It seems that we overestimated the Argentine Army!" Brigadier General Krapp put away his telescope and said: "If they have half the courage of the Argentine Air Force, then this battle will still have to be fought!"

I agree with Klap's words. What the Argentine Air Force is doing now is completely meaningless in military terms. They are just using fighter jets and their lives to exchange for the losses of British warships. If you have to find out something, then

It is to buy some time for the Argentine Army on the Cavaliers Island.

But what's the use of the time you bought? It's just to make them surrender later.

"Next..." Clap and I sat back on the chair and continued, "I plan to let the main force of the fleet go further. You know, the sas troops have destroyed the port of San Carlos on the island of Horse Island.

Most of the nearby radar stations, the Argentine Air Force has lost their eyes, and we can completely hide in areas that their radar cannot search, although this will make our Harrier go further! What does the Colonel think?"

"I have no objection!" I nodded.

Clap's consideration is correct. If the situation continues like this, the British army landed on the Port of San Carlos will not be threatened at all. Even the air battle over the Cavaliers will gradually turn towards the British army.

On the one hand, it was because Argentina's fighter jets suffered heavy losses, such as more than twenty aircraft were lost in one day. On the other hand, with the landing of British military equipment, more and more ground-to-air space were arranged near the Port of San Carlos.

Air defense missiles.

In this case, the Harrier's grabbing air supremacy in the Port of San Carlos is no longer so important, and Argentina still has a flying fish missile in its hands, so it is certainly a wise choice to retreat to the safe area.

Clap couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Our fleet mission is almost completed here, and the rest depends on the army!"

I understand why Clap had such an idea... You should know that modern war radar is very important, especially for the Argentine army. The reason is very simple. The British fleet moved at sea. It is not in its location anytime, anywhere.

The same is true. In addition, the Argentine Air Force is far away from the British fleet, which determines that the Argentine Air Force cannot use their limited fuel to search for the British fleet at sea.

Therefore, if the British fleet retreats to a safe area when the Cabernet radar station is destroyed, it will almost mean the end of the naval and air war... The Argentine Air Force will not find the British fleet!

But I know that things are not that simple, because the history I know is that Argentina fired all five flying fish missiles, and in this case, I have every reason to believe that the Argentines will not put the only one left

The Feiyu missile hit any warship near the Port of San Carlos, because this could not affect the situation of the war at all.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the Argentines will also target aircraft carriers, that is, there will be at least one raid on aircraft carriers.

"Maybe!" After thinking about it, I said: "The radar on Argentine fighter jets may also discover the fleet. Just as you said last time, the super military flag thanked twenty kilometers away just after a few seconds of jumps.

The Field launched the Flying Fish Missile, which means that the radar on the Super Flag can detect a fleet at least twenty kilometers away!”

"You are right!" Clap nodded: "In fact, the agave radar on the Super Army Flag fighter is a single-pulse radar specially designed for naval missions. Its air-to-sea search distance is not twenty kilometers.

, but one hundred and ten kilometers!"

"One hundred and ten kilometers!" I couldn't help but smack at this distance.

I don’t know much about the fighter jets and avionics of this era. But I know that the distance between the J-10 control and measurements in our country is only 130 kilometers.

"Yes!" Brigadier General Krapp nodded: "This is the data we have obtained from France. This is not surprising, because the main function of this fighter is to perform sea missions and guide flying fish missiles to attack sea targets from a long distance.

.This is also the reason why it is not strong in air but has the ability to search radars and mount Feiyu missiles!”

"Oh!" I understood after hearing this.

In other words, this super military flag is almost tailor-made for launching the Feiyu anti-ship missile... If the radar does not have a search distance of 110 kilometers, then the 65 kilometers of the Feiyu missile can be said to be a kind of

waste.

With this 110-kilometer search distance, in the ideal state, the Super Military Flag can start searching and locking the target within a 110-kilometer distance, and the flight distance of the Feiyu missile is 65 kilometers.

Then, the flying fish missile was launched.

Of course, if you want to improve your hit rate, the closer you get to the target, the better. For example, Argentine pilots launch missiles around 20 kilometers.

"So it is entirely possible for the Super Army Flag to search our fleet!" Brigadier General Krapp said: "But the Colonel does not need to worry too much, because our intelligence shows that the Argentine Air Force is not mature in data and information sharing, that is...

Even if the radar of the Super Flag searched the location of our fleet, they could not send this data to other fighters in real time. Our fleet was moving at any time, and the problem of insufficient fuel for Argentina fighters, so they could find our opportunity.

Very rarely, we just need to guard against the remaining flying fish missile!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but nod. If the information was really what Clap said, there was nothing to worry about, but I felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

But maybe what I think is redundant. The Argentinians are likely to just hold the last straw in despair and fire out the last flying fish missile casually.

Thinking of this, I no longer worry about this matter, and happily talked with Clap while drinking coffee and eating fruits.

That night, our fleet left the offshore of the Malay Island and sailed to the deep sea according to Clap's plan... The reason for operating at night was that the British army on the Malay Island basically did not need Harrier air cover at night.

Due to the poor night combat capabilities of Argentina fighters, some of their fighters are unable to even conduct good enemy-to-eight identification, so that they may even have accidental injuries in a few night battles.

Obviously, this is quite unfavorable for the Argentine Air Force, which accounts for the majority of the number of fighters, because this is to send a "infiltration war" for the British army to fight with Harrier. It can even be said that this "infiltration war" is even more important than the infantry we fight.

"Infiltration War" is even worse... Our infantry "Infiltration War" is that the enemy cannot recognize itself. We cannot recognize ourselves. We also cannot recognize ourselves. The "Infiltration War" of this air force fighter jet is recognized by the British Harrier.

But several different types of fighter jets in Argentina cannot do it. So if you really want to fight at night, it will only be a nightmare for Argentina.

It is precisely because of this that Argentina basically only dispatched bombers at night... The bombers did not have any identification problems. They just needed to fly over the designated location and then throw the bomb down regardless of the scattered bombs.

It's done.

As for the British Harrier... Although they have the ability to fight at night, their turn of battles during the day have exhausted them. Moreover, the accuracy of Argentina bombers is not high at night, so they are so happy to ignore them.

This time to rest.

It was at this time that the main force of the special mingling fleet left the main battlefield. That night, I finally didn't need to sleep when I listened to the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of the island... People like us who mingled on the battlefield, if they listened

If you sleep with gunshots or cannons, your muscles will be shattered and you will be in a state of combat during sleep, and you will wake up from your sleep from time to time.

There were other British troops who had the same feeling as General Clap, because there were bursts of singing and laughter in the bar of the warship that night... The British always used their free time to have some fun, which should be

It is their advantage. It is said that when Britain was bombed by the German Air Force in World War II, the British people hiding in the air raid shelter also had the means to dance with music.

This kind of optimistic spirit is indeed worth learning, but if you are too optimistic, it will soon turn into a kind of underestimation of the enemy. For example, now I feel that this is not a time to relax, because the experience on the battlefield tells me not

At the last moment, never think that you have won or ended the war.

Things also proved that my idea was right...

Because in the early morning of the next day, I faintly heard the roar of fighter planes in the air. At first, I thought it might be that the British Harrier planes rushed to the Horse Island to carry out combat missions again. But soon

I found that this was not the case. If it was a Harrier, the sound should be from near to far rather than from far to near now. And the roar would not be so low, which is obviously the sound of a large group of aircraft approaching.
To be continued...
