Looking at the scene on the deck, Thomas clenched his fists. Just now, with the pilot's eyes, he could almost see how helpless and frustrated the pilot in the cabin was when the plane flipped upside down. and desperate eyes!
Although the search-and-rescue helicopter has taken off in an emergency, the most likely rescue is a cold body. The plane will not float on the sea, it will definitely sink.
"The Tomcat fleet has requested to land, and they are running out of fuel." On the bridge, the air traffic controller said to Thomas.
"Okay, land in order." Thomas said with a cold face.
The Tomcat fleet was the last to land, which also means that no more planes are returning! Counting the one that just failed to land, only 16 of our own A-7 attack aircraft came back! There are 14 fighters, which were killed by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns! This is a shame for the U.S. Navy! The huge naval formation and the aircraft carrier costing hundreds of millions were actually defeated by some small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery!
"It seems that we still underestimate the Argentines. What we have to face is not just Argentina with our Western weapons, but Argentina armed with Soviet weapons!"
The Shilka River self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery is the most common small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery in the Soviet field troops, and it is also the most ferocious firepower. It can be said that the Soviet Union is specially used to deal with Western armed helicopters, while its own attack aircraft, It just happened to attack at a low altitude, and the result happened to fall into their firepower circle!
"However, until the end of the battle, the Argentines did not use other weapons. It seems that the Soviet Union is in a hurry and it is impossible to transport more weapons to Argentina. These self-propelled artillery are already the greatest support. already."
Harold shook his head: "Everyone, we are not facing the Argentines, but the Soviets, especially, Andre! This guy is simply a devil! They are the devils from hell! This time we take Out of self-propelled artillery, hit our attack aircraft, next time if we fly higher, then they will definitely take out long-range missiles to shoot us, maybe even Sam-10!"
Thinking of being played in the palm of Andre's hand, Harold has lingering fears, this guy, the calculation ability is too strong! Especially now, the Soviet aircraft carrier has not yet appeared, and it has already suffered a heavy blow!
"Then what do we do?" Thomas asked.
"It is impossible to effectively bomb the Falklands by relying solely on our strength. I suggest asking the White House for support, such as dispatching strategic bombers to blow up the Falklands thoroughly!" Harold said.
Like other countries, there is a strong competitive relationship between the US Navy and the Air Force. Now, Harold would rather abandon his previous suspicions and ask the Air Force's strategic bombers to dispatch, and also want to eliminate the Argentines on the Falklands in one fell swoop. The power of the fighters has been blown up, let's see how you resist!
Although Harold wanted to ask the White House to dispatch more aircraft carriers, which would better show the strength of the navy, he also knew that the U.S. government was extremely nervous now, especially now, not to fight the United States, but to help the United Kingdom , there is already a very strong opposition in the parliament. And if more aircraft carriers are dispatched, the parliament will definitely not agree. Therefore, we can only ask the Air Force for help!
If a few B-52s are sent over, the U.S. Navy doesn't need to do anything else, just waiting to land on the Falklands is enough!
The huge U.S. Navy, with the combined fleet formed by the entire Europe, came to the South Atlantic aggressively. All military experts were not optimistic about Argentina, but now, the first battle is surprising. The American aircraft carrier Machine, suffered a big loss on the Falklands! Lost a dozen!
The news quickly spread all over the world. In Argentina, the panic that once spread has disappeared, and we can not only defeat the British Navy, but also the US Navy!
The Falklands are from Argentina! For the sovereignty of the Falklands, Argentina is willing to be the enemy of the entire Western world! Facts have proved that the West does not care about Argentina's interests at all! And the Soviet Union is Argentina's good friend!
This kind of argument continues to spread in Argentina. Since it has been abandoned by the entire Western world and becomes an enemy, Argentina can only continue to survive if it has a good relationship with the Soviet Union!
In the Argentine capital, a banquet was being held to celebrate the victory.
"Mr. Mhamad, please convey my greetings to General Andrei. It was his plan that allowed us to win this victory." Galtieri, who raised his glass, said to Mhamad. .
After discussing the countermeasures that day, and the two sides reached a series of agreements, Andre left, and at the same time, continued to leave Mhamad to contact Argentina.
At that time, Galtieri still did not understand that his own fighter planes could not be launched into the air, and all defenses were handed over to a few self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery airlifted from the Soviet Union. Is this really possible?
Of course, Galtieri knew that only fighter planes can seize air supremacy. Now he should use Mirage F1 fighters to seize air supremacy with the Americans and have a good fight! However, their fighters are required to be concealed, and they rely on anti-aircraft artillery to defend. Is this really okay?
As a result, Galtieri was taken aback. The American fighter jets, as predicted by General Andrei, rushed to bomb their own important bases at ultra-low altitudes. As a result, they just entered the firepower circle of the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery!
These self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery have not been shipped for a long time. For this reason, a group of mercenaries were hired from Iraq to operate. Although the cost is not small, the outcome is satisfactory.
Good start!
"Mr. President, General Andrei asked me to tell you that the current victory is only a small victory, and the Americans will not be willing to lose. The next battle will be more difficult, and we must make great efforts. The preparations for sacrifice, even the Americans will not only attack the Falklands, but also send stealth fighters to bomb the capital of Argentina and the presidential palace. Your safety is the most important thing. If you have something, maybe Argentina will have to Compromised," Mhamad said.
"Please rest assured General Andre, I will learn from President Saddam Hussein's lesson. We continue to enter and exit from the presidential palace normally, but we are not inside the presidential palace. We came to the underground command center here through a secret passage, which is the safest. Yes, it can withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion," Galtieri said.
"Boom!" At this moment, the vibration caused by the explosion on the ground in the distance reached here, and the electric light above the head shook for a while. (To be continued.)
