Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Major Paulson's telegram made the Queen and the people happy, but it was a great shame for Argentina. Although the Xiangjiang Monster has reached maximum horsepower, he still feels a little slow at this time. After all, the radar shows that an Argentine plane is flying towards them. If they cannot avoid the missile attack, then based on what their troops did in Argentina, If caught, they will definitely be paraded through the streets and then shot.

Two Argentinian Super Etendard fighter jets took off in an emergency. At this time, the pilots' eyes were filled with anger. These hateful British people actually dared to attack the presidential palace. This is a contempt for the entire Argentina. We must make these British guys look good. Let them know that Argentina is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want.

Although ground-based radar cannot search for ground-effect aircraft, airborne radar has a very powerful search function. The screen showed two high-speed moving objects on the sea. You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the British's abominable ground-effect aircraft. After discovering the aircraft, the two Army Super Flag fighter jets quickly flew towards the target direction.

The "Super Etendard" fighter jet is a carrier-based attack aircraft produced by the French Dassault Aircraft Company. It is an improved version of the "Etendard" IVM attack aircraft in the 1960s. It began to be equipped with the French Navy in 1978. Argentina has always been a loyal user of this fighter jet. In the 1980s, it purchased a total of 14 aircraft of this type from France. This was already the largest military purchase contract for Argentina, which has relatively weak overall national strength.

This fighter adopts a 45-degree swept-back mid-wing design with foldable wing tips. The fuselage is in a wasp-waist shape and has a large vertical tail area. The swept-back flat tail is placed in the middle of the vertical tail. The aircraft length is 14.31 meters, the wingspan is 9.6 meters, and the aircraft height is 3.86 meters. It is equipped with a non-afterburning 8K-50 turbojet engine with a rated thrust of 5,000 kg. The maximum flight speed is 1,204 kilometers per hour (low altitude), the combat radius is 650 kilometers, the practical ceiling is 13,700 meters, and the maximum take-off weight is 12,000 kilograms. The aircraft is equipped with ETNA inertial navigation and attack system, "Agafu" radar, Type 97 navigation indicator, Type 66 air data computer, three-axis attitude indicator, micro TACAN, identification friend or foe, VHF omnidirectional beacon aircraft and peace Visual display, etc., the search distance for surface destroyers is 110 kilometers. The aircraft is equipped with two 30mm "Defa" aircraft cannons. The fuselage pylons can carry 250 kilograms of bombs. Each of the four pylons under the wings can carry 400 kilograms of bombs. The right wing can hang 1 AM-39 " Feiyu" air-to-ship missile, and can also be equipped with R.550 "Magic" air-to-air missiles or rockets and other weapons.

Before coming to join the war, both Heiyun employees and Major Paulson were very familiar with the performance of the Super Etendard fighter. After all, this is the most threatening weapon in the hands of the Argentines. At the same time, it is also one of the few weapons that can pose a threat to ground-effect aircraft. The speed of competition will definitely not be able to keep up with others. We can only hope to use the advantage of being lower than the sea surface to throw away the missiles.

Another point is that the opponent's combat radius is shorter, which is also an opportunity that can be exploited. Once it exceeds the combat radius, the pilot will not dare to come over easily even if he wants to chase.

Sure enough, as analyzed, the combat radius of the Super Etendard fighter has reached, but now even if it launches missiles, it will not pose any threat to the Xiangjiang monster. Major Paulson still underestimated the determination of the Argentinians. The combat radius was so large that they would be buried in the sea at worst, but the invading enemy must be resolutely eliminated. The president issued a death order, even if no one could be caught, the ground-effect aircraft would be sunk. , let these British people sink into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish.

The two pilots flew towards them desperately. Seeing this situation, everyone knew that the Argentinians were going to desperate measures. If someone attacks London and occupies Buckingham Palace, they may fight back even more harshly than this. Now they can only believe in the performance of the Xiangjiang monster, and the rest can only be left to fate.

The Super Etendard fighter jet launched Exocet missiles when it was still 20 kilometers away from the ground-effect aircraft. These two Exocet missiles were among the few in stock in the country. At this time, there were not so many to take care of. The only purpose of the Argentine pilots was to bury the British. sea.

"The power system of the Feiyu missile consists of two parts: the main engine is an end-burning solid rocket motor with a total weight of 170 kilograms, a working time of 150 seconds, and an average thrust of 2.4 kN, which can keep the missile's cruise speed at 0 .9 Mach number; the booster is a side-burning solid rocket motor, weighing 80 kilograms, with a working time of 2.5 seconds and an average thrust of 74 kN. It can quickly accelerate the missile to supersonic speed, and then It flies at cruising speed under the action of the main engine. When the two engines work, the maximum range of the missile can reach 70 kilometers.

The Argentine pilots believed that the missile would catch up with the ground-effect aircraft at 50 kilometers at the current speed, and they followed behind to guide it, ensuring nothing went wrong this time.

But they still underestimated the performance of the Xiangjiang monster, after knowing that it was locked and launched missiles. The pilot began to turn on the afterburner, which increased the speed of the aircraft by a large margin. Usually they don't dare to do this, after all, it will cause great damage to the engine. But now when lives are at stake, who can care so much.

The Argentinian pilots in the sky were also a little confused, wondering how this behemoth could still accelerate. They are all professionals. They simply can't imagine the terrifying thrust of the ground-effect aircraft. Although they don't want to admit it, the British weapons are indeed far ahead of them. Can Argentina still win this war? At this time, both pilots were worried about the fate of their motherland, and no one was optimistic that Argentina could turn defeat into victory.

When Feiyu was about to approach, the Xiangjiang monster released jamming bombs and jamming signals. Under pressure, the French have disclosed the interference signal of the Exocet missile to the United Kingdom, which gives the Xiangjiang monster another way to save its life.

Sure enough, a missile sank to the bottom of the sea due to signal interference, but there was another missile in hot pursuit. The Argentinian aircraft behind was still desperately using its airborne radar to guide it.

When the missile was about to hit the aircraft, the pilot of the Xiangjiang Monster directly raised the altitude and turned on the reverse thrust device. It can be said that the two contents have been operated together before. The battlefield is indeed the best place to test the performance of weapons.

The Xiangjiang monster's ground-effect flight rose in the air for a moment, and then its speed dropped directly. What followed was that the aircraft crashed into the sea, and nothing could escape the gravity of the earth if operated like this.

Fortunately, the height was not very high at this time, but it still gave people on the aircraft a feeling of being on a roller coaster. The Argentinian pilot was happy that he had shot down a ground-effect aircraft so that he could do business back home.

What they didn't expect was that it would take a while before it hit the sea. The aircraft started to move again, this time gliding on the sea for about 400 meters before stumbling up.

The computer has detected the Xiangjiang monster, and many places below it have been damaged. The engine also lost part of its power, but it was still possible to forcefully take off, but it would have to be overhauled after returning.

The Argentine pilot, who was already red-eyed, thought of attacking the aircraft with a bomb, but at this time the aircraft's fuel started to alarm. Very unwillingly, he flew towards the air tanker. The prerequisite for destroying the enemy was to see where the enemy was. After all, there were no over-the-horizon missiles on the plane at this time.

When they were refueling and ready to continue the pursuit, radar showed that four fighter jets were approaching them. It didn't take much thinking to know that it must be the British response force. Although they were unwilling to give in, they also knew that fighting hard could not solve the problem; the two Super Etendard fighter jets quickly withdrew.

In this way, the two Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft flew back to the South George Islands without any danger. It can be said that they are relatively safe now.

The moment they stepped off the aircraft, everyone saluted them to show respect. At the same time, Task Force Commander-in-Chief John Federhaus and Prince Andrei also greeted them at the dock.

It can be said that the officers and soldiers of the task force gave the unit led by Major Paulson the highest courtesy. After all, what they did was really satisfying. Not to mention doing it, they just don't dare to think about it.

At this time, the British army can be said to be very angry, and everyone is looking forward to occupying the Falklands in one go tomorrow. The tide of the war had changed again, and the balance of victory now tilted in favor of the British.

Prince Andrew personally sorted the clothes of the British soldiers who had just died. These were warriors who died for their country. You would be respected in any country in the world. Although the atmosphere at this time was a bit solemn, it could not conceal the excitement of the British soldiers present.

The news of their safe return also reached the UK as soon as possible, making the domestic people even more enthusiastic. Even Queen Elizabeth II was waiting for news about them, and now she could finally sleep peacefully after hearing that they had returned safely.
