Chapter 501 (2/2)

PAULSON: ”of course, you didn't think of it! That proves that Argentines will not think that we just want to be surprised, and we do not occupy the Argentine capital, but just want to deter the whole of Argentina. ”

At this time, a young man standing in the corner said, ”this is a good plan, but once surrounded, this army will never return.”

Seeing the young people talking, even John fedhouse, as the admiral, didn't continue to say. He wanted to hear the thoughts of the two young people. After all, the identity of the person who just spoke is too special. Even as the commander in chief of the fleet, he doesn't dare to offend easily.

PAULSON: ”I have absolute confidence, and I won't joke about my subordinates' lives. As long as the method is appropriate and unexpected, the Argentines will be able to leave safely before they reflect. Please rest assured, your excellency. ”

Major Paulson's bold and crazy plan conquered everyone present, including, of course, Admiral John fedhouse, commander of the task force. He immediately redeployed the battle plan and approved major Paulson's plan to raid the presidential palace.

On June 2, 1982, British troops landed on the beach in the waters of St. carlus on the North Bank of East Falkland Island. A total of about 4000 people from the second and third battalions of the third marine brigade and Parachute Regiment landed by landing vessels; And successfully established a safe beach the next day. Brigadier general Thomson planned to occupy Darwin and goose green first, followed by Port Stanley.

In response to the British troops' landing operations, the Argentine air force fought with Canberra bombers at night.

There are three small airports in Ma island. The longest and most complete runway is only in the capital Port Stanley. However, the runway of Stanley airport is still unavailable for fighters, so the fighters of the Argentine air force must take off from home. This has seriously affected the strike range of fighters of the Argentine air force, the frequency of combat air patrol and the ability of close support. As a result, the dwell time of Argentine aircraft on the Falklands has been shortened; In the later stage of the war, with the formation of the encirclement, any air attack by the Arab army on the Falklands was forced to fly over the British forces, increasing the chance of being found and shot down.

On the sea, the Atlantic transporter containing helicopters, runway construction equipment and tents. Chinook's loss dealt a serious blow to the British Army's logistics supply. The only one left was called Bravo November. On the same day, the British also lost the sister ship of the destroyer Sheffield, the missile destroyer grammogen, and was seriously damaged when carrying out missions with the destroyer broadsword. However, because of the bombing strategy of the Argentine air force, the damage of many British ships was reduced. In order to avoid the concentrated anti-aircraft fire of the British army, the pilots of the Argentine air force were forced to approach the target by diving, and did not drop bombs at low altitude until the last minute. Argentina lost nearly 20 aircraft, including several fortress attack aircraft destroyed on the ground.

The courage of the Argentine air force is undeniable. However, low altitude bombing has caused many bombs not to have enough time to start the fuse. When dropping free falling bombs, the aircraft will inevitably fly directly over fragments and detonation, so there is a limit on the minimum bombing height. However, during the battle of the bomb trail, the Afghan pilots found that; Due to the need of low altitude attack, they could not climb to the specified height in time before dropping bombs. This problem is solved after the introduction of a new time-delay fuse.

Because the British army lost a lot of fighters, the landing mission is several days later than in previous lives. At the same time, Argentines still made the same mistake. Two airports nearby were seriously damaged by British special forces. In addition, the technology of its pilots is far behind the British army, and its weapons are not very easy. After France did not supply flying fish missiles, there was no better way to deal with British ships, which was one of the reasons why the British army could land successfully. There is also the production capacity of weapons. The weapons of the British army can be produced at any time, while the aircraft of the Argentines can only be continuously reduced. After all, they have no ability to produce fighter planes. Even though the Soviets had great powers, they could only transport some medium and light weapons. No one could drive fighters under the eyes of the British.

But even if the British landed on the Falklands, Argentina still had the strength to fight. It can be said that the war has just begun. At the suggestion of the Soviets, the Argentines have hoarded a lot of materials on the island. Many of them were transported by the Soviets before the war began, but the expenses were paid in advance by baozixuan. Now they have just recovered the cost.

Bao Zixuan spared no effort to help Argentina not only to weaken Britain's strength, but also to make ground effect aircraft more colorful. In this way, he can constantly squeeze the living space of British domestic military enterprises.

Valenko Ustinov hired several warehouses on the island according to the plan of baozixuan, but baozixuan had been to Ma island in his previous life; I am very familiar with the terrain of the island. The choice of warehouse location is very admired by the actual staff.
