Chapter 347 Flying Fish! Flying Fish! (Five Thousand Words Chapter)

Although the birth of nuclear submarines has been decades, the first case of attack nuclear submarines sinking opponents' warships was not the United States or the Soviet Union, which had many nuclear submarines, but the British submarine forces.

What was killed was a cruiser weighing more than 10,000 tons. Moreover, the British announced the battle in a high-profile manner to inspire people.

Although Galtieri was angry, Navy Commander Annaya had to shrink the naval ships and never dared to get too close to the island of Cambodia. Especially the treasure of the Argentine Navy, the aircraft carrier on May 25, returned to the port and did not make any achievements during the entire war.

However, this does not mean that Argentina has no ability to counterattack the British's sinking their own warships. They also have their own treasures: Feiyu anti-ship missiles and super army flag fighters carrying Feiyu missiles.

Although the Argentine Air Force has not tested this missile, Iraq in the Middle East has successfully used this missile to destroy Iran's largest warship. Moreover, Iraq finally announced this battle, which made the space company's face shine.

So, the Argentine Air Force immediately prepared to fight back.

On May 4, at 5:07 a.m., Leo Grande Naval Air Force Base.

"Report to the tiger, Mercury is ready to request takeoff." Captain Ernesto Proni Leston reported calmly on the radio.

"Mercury can take off." The tower responded.

The sp-2h "Neptune" reconnaissance aircraft numbered 0708, the propellers on both sides began to rotate and slid on the runway, and the speed became faster and faster. Finally, it soared from the runway. The semicircular radar cover under the belly of the aircraft looked extra dazzling.

Ernesto was beside his co-pilot and an operation commander behind him.

Their mission today is to monitor the British Navy's operations, because in another hour, a group of C-130 transport aircraft will be ready to land at the Argentine Port Airport on the Cambridge Island to transport supplies to the troops there. Since the British army declared this a no-fly zone, the Argentine air force must monitor the British Navy's operations in case of being attacked by the British fleet.

However, fearing the strength of the British Navy, the supply operation was eventually cancelled.

"Mercury, the action is cancelled, please continue to leave the air to monitor." A voice came from the tower.

"Mercury was received," Ernesto replied.

c-130 is the treasure of the Air Force. If it is defeated by the British, it will definitely not be worth the loss. Ernesto can understand the ground commander's approach. Anyway, his plane has several hours of space left, and staying on the battlefield to monitor is also a good choice.

Neptune reconnaissance planes fly flat on the sea surface, patrolling the nearby sea surface.

7:50.

Suddenly, the action commander behind found that two light spots appeared on the display screen in front of him.

"There are British ships on the sea." said the operation commander.

"Report the tiger, we found traces of British ships." Ernesto immediately reported to the rear tower.

"Continue tracking." An order came from the radio.

"Yes!" Ernesto was holding a strong heart, hoping that he could do something and severely hit the British's arrogance!

Ernesto guessed it well. At this time, the Leo Grande base was already in a tense atmosphere.

Major Augustus Bedaclaz and Lieutenant Armando Marjora were the pilots on duty at this time. After hearing the alarm sounded, the two rushed out of the waiting room and ran towards their landlines.

Two super military flag planes have been quietly parked on the apron, and under the belly of the aircraft, the huge anti-ship missile has been installed.

Since the cruiser "General Belgno" was sunk, they have been ready to attack at any time. The flying fish has been tested and can be fired at any time.

Climbing up to the cockpit, the ground crew behind followed to help organize the equipment, checking whether the canopy cover lock was opened, and then, removing the ladder.

With the help of the ground power vehicle, Augustus started the engine. After checking the engine's tail flame, the ground crew gave a thumbs up.

"Tiger, Aries requests to take off." Augustus shouted.

"Tiger, flat hat requests takeoff." Amando, the wingman pilot behind, shouted.

"You can take off." A sound came from the tower.

Two super military flags finally waited for this day, and they spread their wings and flew into the vast sky.

At this time, on the Atlantic Ocean, an advanced destroyer was swimming easily, and the radar above was constantly rotating, monitoring the surrounding airspace.

The Sheffield destroyer is a very young destroyer in the formation. It was completed and put into service in 1975. It has a length of 125 meters, a width of 14.3 meters, a draft of 4.2 meters, and a full load displacement of 4,100 tons.

Moreover, the Sheffield destroyer creatively uses all-fuel combined power, equipped with 4 gas turbines, two cruises, and two high-power units, which can quickly reach designated combat areas and save fuel during cruise.

It is a special air defense destroyer for the British fleet, equipped with a dual-mounted ship-to-air missile launch device. It is the latest dual-mounted "Jaberlin" ship-to-air missile developed by British Aerospace. It has a range of 40 kilometers. It undertakes regional air defense tasks for the formation and protects two invincible class aircraft carriers.

Other weapons include 1 114mm naval gun and 2 triple anti-submarine torpedo launching devices and other ship-based weapons; they are equipped with a helicopter; and other various sea-to-air search radars, missile-guided radars, as well as satellite communication systems, navigation systems, fire control systems and combat command and control systems, in addition to ship-to-ship missiles.

Sheffield is too compact. In order to reduce costs, the military limited the displacement of the entire ship; in order to accommodate so many equipment on a smaller tonnage, the shell structure of the entire ship is simplified, and the thin-shell hull is used, so the structure is weak.

However, Captain Samuel Salter is still proud to be able to command such an advanced warship. The warship under his feet is worth 200 million US dollars! More than 300 people in the ship are working tense and orderly under his command.

Next to it, the frigate "Yarmouth" was also cruising quietly.

He didn't know that the Argentinian had set his sights on him.

Ernesto's Neptune reconnaissance aircraft, which is still flying in the sky, has received two more signals of reflected beams.

"Mercury, turn off the radar and keep the radio silent." The sound of the tower came from the radio.

"Yes." Ernesto knew that he had turned off the radar in order to avoid exposing his whereabouts and attract the attention of the British. In all, his fighter jets had taken off.

At this time, it was very close to the sea where the cruiser was destroyed. Ernesto lowered the plane. In this way, even if the other party discovered it, he would think that he was here to rescue the poor survivor, although the hope was very small.

10:00 a.m.

"Aries, flat hat, please keep the course 293, altitude 700, speed 300, and prepare to refuel in the air."

In the sky nearly 500 kilometers away from the British fleet, Augustus and Armando's planes met with the Air Force's KC-130h aerial refueling aircraft.

If you want to attack that far away from the sea, you must refuel in the air.

At this time, the aerial refueling machine, on both sides and behind the wings, each drags a long oil pipe, and at the end of the oil pipe, there is an umbrella-shaped oil refueling cone.

Every time I refuel in the air, it seems like I am performing acrobatics in the air, but this is not a problem for experienced pilots.

Those who can fly the super military flag are all elites among pilots.

They operated the plane and carefully put the fixed refueling pipe on the front right of the nose on the refueling cone.

Be careful, you must be bold and decisive. When you are about to put it on, you must dare to take action. Otherwise, when the plane moves, the fuel cone will move and always shake left and right, which will not match. That feeling will be very painful.

As long as it is connected, it will be easy to deal with. Under the pressure, the two things that had just come into close contact immediately became closely together, and aviation fuel flowed continuously into the plane.

“Aries oil is full.”

"The flat hat oil is full."

The two of them started to cheer almost at the same time, and filled them up at the same time.

"Bang!" With a slight sound, the fuel cone broke away, and the super military flag returned to freedom.

They aimed at the course and then flew towards the predetermined airspace.

"Mercury, climb up again, the radar is turned on, and the specific location of the enemy ship." A sound came from the radio again.

Ernesto knew that the final moment had come, and this time, he designated the specific location for the Super Military Flag.

Ernestola operates the rod, and the plane begins to climb, and at the same time, the semicircular radar under the belly begins to work intensively.

Since Sheffield did not adjust its course, after climbing up, Neptune reconnaissance aircraft immediately observed the British warship at the predetermined position and directly passed it to the pilot of the Super Military Flag.

"The enemy ship's position is 52 degrees south latitude 33 minutes 55 seconds, and 57 degrees west longitude 40 minutes 55 seconds."

After the mission was completed, Neptune began to return.

The rest is handed over to the young man with the Super Military Flag!

In order to keep it hidden, although it is still more than 200 kilometers away from the target, Augustus and Armando still chose to fly at an ultra-low altitude.

If you want to hit it, you have to choose to take risks!

At this time, the height of the Super Military Flag is less than fifty meters above the sea surface, and the huge waves can be seen clearly below. If you are not careful, danger may occur at any time.

Flying on the sea, the sea surface and the blue sky are the same blue color, so some people will have the illusion of space, thinking that the sea surface is blue, so when they want to climb high, they plunge into the sea.

Although it is ridiculous, this kind of problem occurs from time to time.

The way to deal with this illusion is to believe in the instrument completely and not believe in yourself. The instrument will not break down, it is because the brain has failed!

The two were flying on the sea.

At 10:50, according to the inertial navigation, it should be only fifty or sixty miles away from the target.

Augustus suddenly pulled the operating rod upwards, and the head of the super military flag raised and began to climb rapidly. At the same time, he turned on an i-band agave single-pulse radar in front of the head. The air-to-sea search distance was 110 kilometers. Water surface ships the size of patrol boats could be found at a distance of 40-55 kilometers.

Unexpectedly, when Augustus looked down at the radar screen, there was nothing on it.

Augustus immediately chose to dive and return to low altitude.

"Continue to fly forward," Augustus said to the wingman Armando.

During the forward flight, the inertial navigation system will have cumulative errors, and British warships will also sail for a distance, so it is normal that they did not find the target just now.

As a pilot with hundreds of hours of flight experience, Augustus was in a very peaceful mood.

Continuing to fly for 25 miles, Augustus shouted in the radio: "Flat hat, climb, prepare to lock the target."

This time, it is likely that it is only a few dozen kilometers away from the British ship, and the distance is very close. If you don’t prepare quickly, you may miss it from the other party.

Two super military flags, like dragons coming out of water, began to climb at the same time.

It is 11:02.

That target is clearly displayed on the radar screen: Distance, 46 kilometers, Position: 003!
