Chapter 500 The ever-changing battlefield

The British soldiers stationed in Hong Kong who came to fight began to rest, which also gave some time to the specially recruited Black Cloud employees. They had promised their boss to bring back Argentinian specialties. Although they captured a lot in the first battle, they still believed that it was not enough.

What kind of person the boss is, how can he just use this little thing to get rid of him.

Therefore, Black Cloud employees began to take advantage of their wealth, and they were very interested in what other British soldiers had seized from the Argentines. Facing pounds and dollars, the British soldiers could not resist at all, although they knew that the war was now entering a tense stage.

Although they are in a poor state, there are still many soldiers doing business with them, which has become a fun part of the boring war.

As long as the Argentinian items were seized from the battlefield, Heiyun employees could buy anything and the prices were clearly marked. This made the British soldiers who came to join the war feel very interesting, and it was good to be able to sell things while fighting.

An ordinary soldier seized a command knife and sold it to a Black Cloud employee for 1,000 pounds, which greatly increased the interest of British soldiers in seizing Argentinian weapons.

However, at this time, the battlefield situation had tilted towards the unfavorable side of the British. More and more helicopters and low-altitude aircraft were shot down, causing the British army to temporarily lose part of their air superiority. This provided the Argentinians with an opportunity to severely damage the British.

Chance.

With the loss of British air supremacy, the Argentinians began their long-planned retaliation. After the signal of the British task force was captured by the Argentine Navy Neptune ocean patrol aircraft, two were deployed in Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, carrying Exocetos.

The Afghan flag-type attack aircraft carrying missiles immediately took off.

After receiving aerial refueling from the KC-130h Hercules transport aircraft of the Argentine Air Force, the two aircraft attacked at an ultra-low altitude close to the waves. They only jumped to perform a radar search at 50 miles and immediately returned to low altitude, at 20 to 30 miles.

Launch the Exocet missiles carried.

Sheffield's companion ship, the guided-missile destroyer HMS Glasgow, and the other three northernmost radar picket ships captured the first jump of the Afghan military aircraft and reported it to the fleet air defense command on the HMS Invincible as soon as possible.

Therefore, due to a false alarm that morning, the air defense command post on the Invincible ignored the alarm.

Report. At this time, the guided missile destroyer HMS Glasgow continued to monitor the general position of the flag's first jump and detected the second jump. This time, the electronic warfare equipment on the British ship received the signal from the homing radar on the Exocet missile. Again

Once, the Invincible judged it to be a false alarm and ignored the Glasgow's continuous "handbrake" warnings.

The first missile missed Almaus and headed towards the "jamming cloud" launched by it. At this time, the guided-missile destroyer Glasgow tried to engage another missile with a seamark missile but suffered from a system failure and was unable to succeed.

.The air defense command post still classified this warning as a false alarm.

However, the guided missile destroyer HMS Sheffield was unable to detect the incoming missiles in time. Due to the use of satellite phones, the shipboard electronic warfare system was unable to work. Why did the shipboard radar fail to detect the incoming missiles? Why did the ship not respond to the destroyer HMS Glasgow?

Warning? The reason is unknown. In the end, the Sheffield's electronic warfare system shut down one second before the visual surveillance post reported the discovery of the missile contrail, and the ship did not deploy any countermeasures.

The Exocet missile hit the middle section of the Sheffield. Although the warhead fuse failed to activate, the fire was out of control, causing 20 deaths and 24 serious injuries. The Almaeus left its position from time to time during the rescue process.

Fire anti-submarine weapons as a warning of suspected incoming torpedoes.

The guided-missile destroyer HMS Sheffield was abandoned a few hours later, but the bent and deformed wreckage continued to drift and burn for six days. It was finally towed by the Almaus and sank on the high seas and became a tombstone. The guided-missile destroyer HMS Sheffield

The larger and more important aircraft carrier in the fleet withstood a fatal blow. Any blow suffered by the aircraft carrier would force Britain to immediately terminate its military operations in the South Atlantic. The process of the war is already gradually accelerating.

temperature.

The Sheffield-class destroyer is a guided-missile destroyer built by the United Kingdom and mainly equipped with air defense weapons. Its purpose is to serve as the air defense mission of the task force. Now it was actually sunk by an aircraft. This is really ironic.

At the same time, it also gave Portsmouth Shipyard, which produced the Sheffield, a huge headache. The introduction of ground-effect aircraft was the one they complained about the most. The opposition was the strongest, mainly because they were worried that ground-effect aircraft would take away orders that originally belonged to them. Now,

The Xiangjiang monster stole the show, but the ships produced by their own factories were directly sunk by the weak Argentinians. Doesn't this tell the world that the weapons they made are not good!

Portsmouth Shipyard was established in 1495. After the establishment of the British Navy in 1670, it became the shipyard of the British Navy. It can be said that this is the oldest and most powerful shipyard in the UK.

As the Sheffield was sunk by the Argentine Navy, all the countries that were originally prepared to negotiate for the introduction of modified warships withdrew. What is even more unacceptable is that the navy also intends to reduce orders and order weapons more suitable for the development of the navy.

It can be said that the domestic arms dealers in the UK can no longer influence the frontline commanders at this time. After all, if the weapons are so unsatisfactory and you still want me to favor you, you are joking with the lives of soldiers and gambling with the future of the British Empire.

The British army began to formulate a defense plan, and the Sheffield Cup was sunk. The Argentines will definitely use the air defense loopholes during this period to attack the task force, and the battlefield situation has changed. The British have already taken the strategic advantage of occupying South Georgia Island at this time

With everything lost, now we can only wait and see how the Argentinians play their cards.

Galtieri jumped up excitedly in the presidential palace at this time. This was the first time in recent days that he smiled. The staff of the presidential palace also knew that the war had developed in favor of Argentina, and perhaps victory was coming to them.

The Presidential Palace was very lively today, and all the top officials of the Argentine military came to attend the operational meeting. Galtieri said with a smile: "A few days ago, the brave and fearless Argentine Air Force took the initiative and damaged the British guided missile destroyer HMS Sheffield. Just now the intelligence department had

Confirming the sinking of the ship, it can be said that the Sheffield has since become a victory for the Argentine military."

"There is an excellent opportunity in front of us. Many British aircraft were shot down by us. At this time, we have basically lost air superiority. Now the anti-aircraft ship Sheffield has also been sunk. The British Navy will not have the ability to release air at all for a period of time. Therefore.

I hope Argentine fighter planes will take the initiative to attack the British Navy from the air."

At this time, the Minister of Equipment said: "Your Excellency, France has banned the export of Exocet missiles to our country, so our current missile reserves are only enough to sustain two high-intensity operations."

In fact, France not only failed to continue exporting Exocet missiles to Argentina, but was also forced to disclose the interference frequency of the Exocet missile under NATO's deterrent. As a result, this missile, which shined in the Falklands War, did not reach the expected sales volume in the end.

The whole world knows how this missile interferes, and they are also worried that if you run out of stock in the event of a war, what is the use of buying it back?

Galtieri: "European and American countries are unreliable. Don't the Soviets still have a lot of weapons stored in Argentina? Just buy them from them. The Exocetus is mainly used to attack British warships. As for British aircraft, they are all attacked with Soviet individual missiles.

, let the soldiers carry forward their bravery and fearlessness, and victory will definitely belong to Argentina."

Now that Galtieri is in the limelight, no one dares to question or object to his orders. Therefore, the order was issued quickly. At the same time, the British side was also planning its own actions. The ground-effect aircraft was once again wanted by the British commander.

Not only that, the British also urgently mobilized a batch of fighter jets from the country. No one expected that a small Argentina could consume the United Kingdom so much.

Both sides are gearing up for the next round of attack. It can be said that the next battle will be a decisive battle, and neither side can afford to lose.
