Chapter 500 (1/2)

The British soldiers stationed in Xiangjiang began to rest, which also made the specially recruited black cloud employees idle. They promised their boss to take Argentine specialties back. Although they captured a lot in the first war, they always thought it was not enough. What kind of person the boss is, how can he use this thing to get rid of him.

Therefore, black cloud employees began to give full play to their rich advantages, and they were very interested in what other British soldiers seized from Argentines. In the face of pounds and dollars, British soldiers could not resist. Although they knew that the war was in a state of anxiety at this time, many soldiers were doing business with them, which had become a fun in a boring war.

As long as the Argentines are captured from the battlefield, the black cloud employees can say everything, and the price is clearly marked. Sister-in-law Tong is not deceived. This makes the British soldiers who come to war feel very interesting. It's good to be able to sell things while fighting.

An ordinary soldier seized a command knife and sold it to heiyun employees for ￡ 1000, which greatly increased the interest of British soldiers in seizing Argentine weapons.

However, at this time, the battlefield situation has tilted towards the unfavorable side of the British people. Shooting down more and more helicopters and low altitude aircraft has made the British Army lose some air control for a while, which provides the Argentines with an opportunity, an opportunity to seriously hurt the British people.

With the loss of British air control, Argentines' long planned retaliation began. After the signal of the British task force was captured by the Neptune maritime patrol aircraft of the Argentine navy, two Argentine flag attack aircraft deployed on Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego Island, carrying flying fish missiles immediately took off. After receiving air refueling from the kc-130h Hercules transport aircraft of the Argentine air force, the two aircraft attacked at ultra-low altitude close to the wave crest. Only jump at 50 miles, perform radar search and immediately return to low altitude, and launch the carried flying fish missile at 20 to 30 miles.

The missile destroyer Glasgow, a similar ship of the Sheffield, and three other northernmost radar sentry ships captured the first jump of the Afghan military aircraft and informed the fleet air defense command post on the invincible at the first time. However, due to a false alarm that morning, the air defense command post on the invincible ignored the warning. At this time, the missile destroyer Glasgow continued to monitor the general position of the first jump of the flag and detected the second jump. This time, the EW equipment on the British ship received the signal from the target seeking radar on the flying fish missile. Once again, the on the invincible judged it as a false alarm; Ignoring the Glasgow's continued ”hand brake” warning.

The first missile missed the Yarmouth and headed for the ”interference cloud” it launched. At this time, the missile destroyer Glasgow tried to engage another missile with a sea mark missile, but it was unable to succeed due to system failure. The air defense command post still classified the warning as false alarm.

However, the missile destroyer Sheffield could not detect the incoming missile in time. Due to the use of satellite telephone, the shipborne EW system can not work. Why can't shipborne radar detect incoming missiles? Why did the ship not respond to the warning of the destroyer Glasgow? The reason is beyond examination. Finally, the Sheffield's electronic warfare system crashed one second before the visual surveillance Post reported the discovery of the missile wake, and the ship did not deploy any countermeasures.

The flying fish missile hit the middle of the Sheffield. Although the warhead fuse failed to start, the fire went out of control, causing 20 deaths and 24 serious casualties. During the rescue, the Yarmouth left its position from time to time and fired anti submarine weapons at the warning of suspicious torpedo attack.

The missile destroyer Sheffield was abandoned hours later, but the bent wreckage continued to drift and burn for six days. Finally, when she was towed by the Yarmouth, she sank on the high sea and became a tomb marker. The missile destroyer Sheffield withstood a fatal blow for the larger and more important aircraft carrier in the fleet. Any attack on the aircraft carrier will force Britain to immediately terminate its military operations in the South Atlantic. The process of war has been gradually warming up.

Sheffield class destroyer is a missile destroyer mainly equipped with air defense weapons built by Britain. Its purpose is to serve as the air defense task of the task force. Now it is ironic that it has been sunk by aircraft.

At the same time, it also gives a headache to the Portsmouth shipyard producing the Sheffield. The introduction of ground effect aircraft is the most fierce thing they call. The voice of opposition is the strongest, mainly because they are worried that ground effect aircraft will snatch their orders. Now Xiangjiang monsters are in the limelight. On the contrary, the ships produced by their own factories are directly sunk by the weak Argentines. Isn't this telling the world that the weapons they make can't work!
