Chapter 499 (1/2)
Finally, baozixuan went home alone, but what baozixuan didn't know was that Austin DuPont, a highly skilled driver, had been following him. For a professional racing driver, it was simple not to track the vehicle.
It can be said that Austin DuPont has been consumed with baozixuan, and now his role is equivalent to the Secretary of Bao's richest man. At least these days, they don't talk about sports cars. It depends on who can't hold it first.
At this time, the waters of the Malvinas Islands, thousands of miles away, were even more lively. The British task force and Argentines finally met in the waters of the Falklands, and a war was imminent.
Similar to the previous life process, the RAF first stationed at vidiavik Air Force Base on Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean, including McDonnell Douglas ghost FGR. 2 fighter bombers and 44 squadron Vulcan bombers, as well as a victorious air tanker fleet; The difference is that the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft also entered the air force base. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy task force arrived in the waters of Ascension Island to prepare for the war.
Xiangjiang monster was soon assigned a combat mission to recover South Georgia. The first combat mission of the British army fell on major Paulson who came from Xiangjiang.
In fact, it also means that they become cannon fodder. It is reasonable to choose the most elite soldiers in order to boost morale in the first battle, but in order to make a fool of Xiangjiang monsters, arms dealers simply hand over the task of seizing the island to Xiangjiang's troops. Their equipment and training can only be regarded as second-class in Britain, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.
Commanders have no choice but to follow the wishes of domestic arms dealers. Sometimes it is troublesome to involve too many interests. At any time now, the domestic people are still in the nest. If the British Empire is defeated, they must not be let go easily.
Soldiers have obeyed fame and wealth as their bounden duty, although they know that the commander may have bad intentions. But it was also an opportunity to prove himself, so major Paulson cooperated very well and received the combat mission.
Paulson flew south to Georgia with 500 British soldiers in ground effect aircraft at night. This time, he wanted to beat the Argentines by mistake.
After the combat tasks of each team were assigned, the ground effect aircraft began to accelerate 3 kilometers away from the island. It can be said that when the Argentine army did not fully react, the Xiangjiang monster had come to them.
One alert, one hover and put people down. Argentines saw Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft for the first time. And the most important thing is that this monster can shoot down. Xiangjiang monster is equipped with thermal imaging system and infrared night vision, which makes Argentines almost have nowhere to hide.
It was a face-to-face effort, and the troops led by major Paulson controlled the situation. Under the powerful search ability of Xiangjiang monster, the Argentines were either destroyed or surrendered, but they won the first battle without any effort.
In this war, the Argentine army on South Georgia Island was completely destroyed, with a total of 305 casualties, and more than 400 people chose to surrender. There were only two casualties in the British army, so it can be said that it was very easy to win.
Major Paulson became famous in the first World War. No commander in the history of the British army has been able to win with such a wide proportion of casualties; It is a rare miracle in the history of World War. His achievements have been made into various film and television works by later generations, and his popularity in China is no different for a time. However, major Paulson knew that if there were no ground effect aircraft, he would be nothing. The enemy would mainly die under the attack of ground effect aircraft. He was very honored to be able to command two ground effect aircraft.
To major Paulson's surprise, his father, who had never looked up to him, called in person to make him pay attention to safety and domestic affairs. Don't worry. No one can take away his credit.
