Chapter 219
Falkland Islands.
Britain calls it the Falkland Islands.
It consists of two large islands and more than 700 small islands, with a total area of 12,200 square kilometers. Britain has divided the entire Falkland Islands into an overseas territory and established a governor.
The capital is Stanley.
Originally, there were not many people.
But since the war broke out ten years ago, in order to avoid another invasion by the Ardennes, Britain deliberately immigrated three to four thousand people from the mainland.
Together with the garrison of more than 1,500 people, the total number of people on the island is 2,000.
There are two airports on the island.
That is, Mount Pleasant Military Base and Stanley Airport.
Although there are only more than 1,000 garrisons on the island, the military base is equipped with a lot of fighter planes.
There are 21 fighter planes of various types.
The main ones in service are the”Tempest” fighter and”Jaguar” S attack aircraft, Warrior supersonic bombers and a squadron of F-4M fighters (12 aircraft) based on the transformation of the V-507 fighter, which are equipped with Rolls-Royce engines and British avionics.
Although these fighters are products of the 1960s and 1970s, they are still very expensive for countries with limited procurement.���For the Kingdom of Ting, these fighters are advanced enough.
Britain believes that it can suppress the Kingdom of Ating.
However, this balance was broken more than two months ago when Galaxy delivered 75 F15 fighters.
Compared with the F15 fighters, the British air force fighters stationed on the Falkland Islands are completely incomparable. It can even be said that they are far behind.
Whether it is the performance level or beyond-visual-range combat, they are far ahead of Britain.
It is precisely because of this that the Kingdom of Ating has the confidence to launch the Falklands War.
In addition to deploying fighters, Britain also deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft missile positions on it. The cunning Britain, in order to avoid being wiped out in one pot,”633″ dispersed the fighters, making it necessary to bomb a large number of air-to-ground bombs. It is also planned to build an aircraft hangar.
Not the kind with many aircraft in one hangar, but to build a hangar for each fighter.
It makes it impossible to check how many fighters the garrison has.
What type of fighters are they.
At this time.
In the early morning, many soldiers on the island are still sleeping.
Radar station.
There were people on duty.
After all, Britain did not dare to underestimate the Ardennes, which wanted to take back the island at any time.
Several radar stations were deployed on the island.
The purpose was to detect and monitor the movements of the Ardennes.
Once a fighter plane takes off, it will be known at the first time.
There is a radar observation station on Dama Island.
There are 5 soldiers stationed.
John is one of them. He is on night shift and will hand over at 8 o’clock.
He has not slept all night and is very tired at the moment.
He is a little dazed.
“”Beep, beep, beep!”
Just then, a large number of red dots suddenly lit up on the radar. I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully. It was not seeing things, but red dots, densely packed, at least dozens of them.
After a brief moment of daze, John reacted.
This is an enemy invasion!
“Quick, something bad has happened, there is an enemy attack!”
John shouted loudly, waking up his comrades who were still sleeping.
“Enemy attack?”
“Are you kidding?”
“Could it be that the Ating Kingdom dares to attack again?”
Without paying attention to his comrades, John urgently contacted the base.
“Watchtower 3 calling command, Watchtower 3 calling command…”
“Command has received it. Please speak….”
Hearing the voice coming from the radio, John hurriedly said:”Report to the headquarters, Watchtower No. 3, a large number of unidentified fighter planes were spotted flying from the direction of Atin….”
“”Swoosh!”
At this moment, an F15 fighter jet flying high in the sky directly launched an air-to-ground missile and headed straight for the radar station No. 3 of the Watchtower.
With Columbia providing military support behind the scenes, especially in the satellite photos, the deployment situation on the island can be seen at a glance.
Moreover, a Wing L unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was dispatched, which has already figured out the military deployment on the island.
Where there are radar stations and so on, they have already figured it out.
“Fuck!!”
John was so frightened when he saw a missile flying towards him on the radar that he ran away.
He shouted as he ran,”Run! The missile is coming!”
In an instant, a missile hit the radar station.
“Boom!”
Flames burst out instantly and the radar station collapsed.
“”Puff!!”
John, who was knocked down by the powerful blast, spat out the dirt in his mouth.
He looked back at the collapsed radar station with a look of fear and relief.
He was glad that he had reacted, otherwise he would have become a corpse.
Then, he became sad again. He ran away, but his teammates did not.
At the same time, the military base on Pony Island.
After receiving John’s alarm, the air defense alarm of the base sounded instantly, and the shrill howling woke up countless British soldiers who were still asleep. They all got up in a panic, put on their clothes in a hurry, and ran out.
“what happened?”
“There must be an enemy attack”
“Enemy attack? Could it be the Ardin Kingdom?”
“Of course, we have a conflict with Ating. I guess Ating is unwilling to give up and started a war again.”
“Gogo!!! Come on, Charlie, what are you talking about? Get into position quickly.”
After being scolded, Charlie hurriedly followed his companions and loaded boxes of compressed bullets onto the anti-aircraft machine guns.
Although anti-aircraft machine guns are not very useful in modern warfare, more than a dozen points have been set up on the Falkland Islands to deal with low-flying fighter jets.
Of course, the main protection of the military base is still in the air defense system.
Britain has deployed the”Changjian” air defense missile system and the”Javelin” air defense missile system on the Falkland Islands.
The former can launch 6 air defense missiles with a radar range of 100 kilometers. It is mainly used for the defense of important places such as airports, military bases, and warehouses.
The”Changjian” MK2 missile equipped has a range of 6.5 kilometers and a maximum firing height of 3 kilometers.
The Javelin air defense missile system is a single-soldier portable air defense missile.
Similar to the Stinger air defense missile.
It can pose a threat to targets below 4,500 meters.
The air defense force entered combat status.
At the same time, the fighters at the base were also taking emergency takeoffs.
It was only less than a hundred kilometers away.
For a fighter with a maximum cruising speed of 2.4 Hertz, it would only take a blink of an eye.
“”Swoosh!”
After locking onto the target, the ground-based air defense missiles quickly fired multiple”Changjian” MK2 missiles.
“”Ding!!”
Multiple anti-aircraft missiles were coming.
The F15 fighters were already prepared. The flight distance was already more than 3,000 meters in the air. While urgently raising the altitude, they fired tin foil jamming bombs at the tail. The fighter formations also hunted in three different directions.
At the moment when the British anti-aircraft missiles opened fire, the F15 fighter formations that were not attacked immediately locked onto the British fire control radar and quickly launched more than 10 Paveway 2 aerial bombs.
Although the range of this bomb is only more than ten kilometers, it uses laser guidance, and the accuracy is greatly improved.
The error is less than about 4 meters
“Da da da!!”
Seeing the falling missiles, the ground short-range air defense, such as anti-aircraft machine guns and multi-barreled machine guns, quickly opened fire.
“boom!”
“Boom!!”
Several Paveway II bombs were hit and exploded. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!) They turned into fireballs in the air and then fell rapidly.
“boom!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Paveway II bombs that were not shot down landed accurately in the target area, and a series of explosions were heard instantly.
A”Changjian 3″ air defense missile system was instantly destroyed. Several operators who wanted to escape were hit by a large number of fragments produced by the explosion before they could run far, and screamed one after another.
Almost in this instant, the radars and launchers of several Changjian”air defense missile systems” were destroyed.
Britain’s air defense capabilities were instantly lost by more than half.
“fcuk!! Where did the Ardennes get so many F15 fighters?”
Lieutenant Colonel Brown, the highest British military officer stationed in the Falkland Islands, had red eyes.
At this moment, an F-4M fighter took off from the airport runway and was about to succeed, but was hit by an AIM-120B air-to-air missile and instantly turned into a turkey and fell down.
It became a ball of burning scrap metal.
After destroying several air defense systems in succession, several F15 fighters began to drop Paveway 2 aerial bombs. Instead of destroying the enemy’s hangar, they directly bombed the runway.
Compared with destroying fighter planes, it is more cost-effective to destroy the runway directly.
After all, as long as the runway is destroyed, the enemy’s fighter planes will not be able to take off in a short time.
Even if it is an emergency repair, it will take half a month or one or two hours.[]
By then, the follow-up troops had already arrived.
On the ground, a dozen British soldiers carrying the Javelin air defense missile system saw the Argentine F15 fighter plane lowering its altitude. They were overjoyed, quickly locked onto it, and quickly pulled the trigger.
“call out!”
“whoosh whoosh whoosh���！”
In an instant, more than 10 anti-aircraft missiles flew towards the target. After launching, the group of British soldiers evacuated the scene instantly.
“Beep beep!!”
Looking at the radar warning prompt, the pilot exclaimed and became panicked.
“Shit!!! Damn, it’s the enemy’s portable anti-aircraft missile”
“Fuck! I didn’t interfere with the bomb”
“call out…Boom! Boom!”
An F15 fighter jet of the Argentine country was hit, and a puff of black smoke came out instantly. The fighter jet began to fall rapidly like a kite with a broken string.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The other planes cooperated with each other and used interfering decoy bombs crosswise, successfully avoiding the pursuit from the anti-aircraft missiles.
After this lesson, the pilots of the Ardin country became more cautious and did not dare to lower the altitude. They just threw glide bombs at the runway at an altitude of several thousand meters without aiming.
“boom!!”
“Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, the entire base airport was filled with explosions.
It caused a large number of casualties among the British garrison personnel.
As for the air force, it was completely unable to get up and was directly suppressed on the ground and became the target of attack.
After bombing for more than ten minutes, the group of F15 fighters withdrew.
“gone?”
“Over?”
Just when the British thought the bombing was over and were preparing to carry out emergency repairs on some airport runways, the second attack formation of the Arden country, namely 30 F15 fighters, more than 10 Mirage 3 fighters and several”Super Etendard” fighters, formed a formation and arrived in the sky.
A new round of bombing began.
This time the target of the bombing became fighter planes.
Seeing one fighter plane after another being destroyed by the Arden country.
The eyes of the British soldiers at the base were red.
At the same time, a sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.
There is no doubt that this time the Arden country’s air force completely crushed the air force stationed in the Falkland Islands. After losing air superiority, the British soldiers in the Falkland Islands, although fighting tenaciously, faced with the crushing, except for the anti-aircraft missiles that could hit the opponent, others could only stare blankly, and could do nothing about the Arden country’s air force.
Faced with the indiscriminate bombing of the Arden country’s air force.
Soon, some British soldiers couldn’t stand it anymore, and some fled directly.
At the same time.
Dozens of helicopter formations from the Argentine country also quickly attacked the Falkland Island.
One by one, the Argentine soldiers got off the helicopter.
Then they quickly formed a combat formation and moved towards the base.
The navy was also speeding up to send soldiers to the island.
At 11 o’clock in the morning, that is, 4 hours after the war started, the British army stationed on the Falkland Islands surrendered to the Argentine country again, just like in 1982.
At the same time.
Thousands of miles away in Britain, London.
At this moment, the parliament is having a heated discussion.
The discussion is about immediately redirecting the troops that were sent to reinforce Australia to the Falkland Islands.
After World War II, the British army was not as strong as before.
Especially in the Gulf War, the Royal Navy was attacked by the Iraqi army and not only lost Almost wiped out.
And a lot of elite ground forces were also lost.
The decline in strength is very serious. 3.3
On the one hand, there is help from the allies, and on the other hand, their own overseas land is occupied by the enemy.
After some debate, it was finally decided to send reinforcements to the Falkland Islands and let the naval fleet turn around and head to the Falkland Islands.
The last Invincible aircraft carrier still in service was transferred to the Falkland Islands.
If this ship is sunk, the British Navy will completely enter an era without aircraft carriers.
Of course, it does not mean that Britain will not build aircraft carriers. In fact, after losing several aircraft carriers in succession, Britain still gritted its teeth and built two light aircraft carriers, which are the same as the Invincible aircraft carrier.
The full load displacement is only 20,000 tons, and it can carry 5 Sea Harrier fighter-attack aircraft and 5 anti-submarine helicopters.
As for large-displacement aircraft carriers, they are very bad for the current economic situation. Britain could not afford it. So they gritted their teeth and built these two planes.
Although they decided to send troops to reinforce the Falkland Islands.
But Britain is thousands of miles away from the Falkland Islands, and it will take half a month to sail at full speed.
So they can only watch it fall.
However, Britain was not idle during this period.
They started to talk nonsense.
On the one hand, they strongly condemned Argentina.
They called on the United Nations to impose military sanctions on Argentina.
On the other hand, they warned Argentina to evacuate immediately, otherwise the war would be expanded and all consequences would be borne by Argentina.
Argentina, which was backed by Columbia, was not afraid of these threats.
It actively transported a large amount of supplies.
Especially construction materials such as cement.
It planned to enlarge the runway so that bombers and more fighter planes could take off.
And when the people of Argentina learned that the military had defeated Britain and captured the Falkland Islands again, the whole country was in a state of panic.
���The whole place was filled with jubilation and celebration.
