Chapter 842: Death Comes

A combat staff officer who had just come in was smiling when he arrived at the captain, and asked with a smile: "Sir, what are you so happy about?" ”

The captain suppressed his smile and said to this subordinate seriously: "As a soldier, can there be anything happier than making achievements on the battlefield?" ”

The combat staff officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the chart, and said seriously: "Sir, what we are most worried about now is that these guys are cowards who ran away before they entered our range. Shall we report to the Commander and ask him to order our approaching planes to slow down, they will frighten these treasures by coming so quickly? ”

The captain also felt that he was too strict, smiled a little, and said lightly: "Our fleet commander is too careful, he is not willing to let the fleet be under the threat of Argentine aircraft. Besides, don't those bastards in the Air Force also want to make meritorious contributions? Let them slow down and they will slow down? ”

……

All the officers and men of the British task force, as well as the French, were excitedly and nervously waiting for the Argentine planes to rush into their defensive circle.

The voice of the radar soldier was clearly reported in the ears of officers of all ranks: "The second group has a speed of 70 kilometers, a distance of one hundred and eight kilometers, and an altitude of one thousand and eighteen ,...... No, they are diving, one thousand three, one thousand two, one thousand, eight hundred, six hundred, four hundred......"

"What's going on? They weren't in danger, why did they start diving so far? Is there a malfunction of the radar? An officer looked at the officer next to him in confusion, and the officer was also at a loss.

The radar crew observed well, the radar did not malfunction, and the formation of planes led by Major Bedakaraz was indeed diving, because when the plane was diving, it was from a high altitude and downward, its potential energy was converted into kinetic energy, and the speed of the plane was significantly accelerated, so that even if it was locked by the enemy's missiles, it was easy to get rid of it at a long distance.

Of course, there is no need to do this in the absence of a threat, whether it is a dive or a climb, which consumes several times more fuel than a normal voyage.

In fact, the reason why they adopt this dive method when there is no danger is that in addition to getting rid of the enemy's potential missile lock, the main purpose is to cover the whereabouts of the YJ0 missile. This is a plan of action that is drawn up by their superiors and issued to them for implementation before they set out.

Because after the YJ0 missile is launched, it will dive and accelerate until it is about 10 meters above sea level before flying horizontally.

Now that the plane and the missile are diving almost simultaneously, it is easy for the opposing radar crew to ignore the reaction of the radar waves of those missiles that are much smaller than the aircraft on the screen, and will disregard them as snowflakes or clutter.

In fact, when the formation led by Major Bedacarraz dived to less than 200 meters above sea level and flew away, the YJ0 missile was only a few meters above sea level. The British only arrived until the Argentine fighters left, and no missiles were found at all.

After the radar troops also "fled" with another group of Argentine planes, the British officers and men of the task force breathed a sigh of relief and scolded the Argentine air force for being cowards and daring to run away with only one shot after spending so much energy.

If it weren't for their impatience, the Argentine planes would not have escaped so quickly, and as long as they were allowed to advance some more distance, even if they were allowed to continue to advance for a few seconds, they could have been shot down, because the range of France's new anti-aircraft missiles was 100 kilometers, and the planes of the other side had touched the edge.

They simply did not know that it had absolutely nothing to do with the British fighters that flew in.

The French on the frigate "Antelope" also had a little regret, but this regret was not much: although it was best to be able to shoot down Argentine planes with new missiles, and to be able to make a name for themselves for the new ship-to-air missiles. But it's not bad to scare off Argentine planes just like that, at least it turns out that Chinese anti-ship missiles are much worse than they boast, and they certainly don't have a range of a hundred kilometers.

Excited, with the permission of the fleet intelligence officer, the French sent a telegram to the headquarters as quickly as possible, which simply read: "China's lies have been shattered. Tonight, the Argentine plane carrying Chinese anti-ship missiles turned and fled in fright 120 kilometers away from the British task force and before they could reach the strike range of the ship-to-air missiles. ”

As soon as the telegram was sent, Salter had not yet announced the end of the battle, and the radar man on the frigate "Antelope" was just about to relax his eyes, but when his gaze was removed from the screen, it seemed that there were several small bright spots.

The radar soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stared at the screen with wide eyes: Yes! Small highlights, one, two, three, four, five! Five small highlights.

This time, the radar soldier did not hesitate, picked up the telephone and shouted: "Report to the chief, the radar has found a missile!" Radar finds missiles! Quantity: Five! Quantity: Five! ”

The radar soldiers were so flustered that they only reported the number of missiles, but did not have time to report the speed, bearing, and altitude of the incoming missiles. It wasn't until the officer in the command cabin shouted that he anxiously reported the relevant parameters.

This was because the incoming missiles were too close and fast.

After receiving the relevant information, the commander of the fleet, Salter, calmly ordered: "The 'Sea Javelin' missile catches the target and prepares to launch!" Anti-aircraft machine-gun arrays fired in the direction of the incoming missiles! 2mm anti-aircraft artillery for interception! The whole crew of the ship is ready to be attacked, and each ship maneuveres on its own! ”

At this moment, the missile was lost on the radar screen!

When the radar caught the missile just now, it was when the missile was climbing and preparing for the final acceleration dive, and the time was only a few seconds. Now that they have swooped down from a high point and entered the blind spot of radar scanning, they are flying close to the sea, and the radar soldiers are naturally gone.

However, no one in the warship suspected that the missile had not rushed over, and in particular, several French experts standing in the battle position of the new ship-to-air missile were even more pale and drenched in cold sweat at this time, and they no longer had the ridicule and joy just now, but were replaced by frustration and fear. Because they are familiar with the characteristics of Exocet missiles, they know that now China's anti-ship missiles, like Exocet missiles, must have entered the final supersonic serpentine stage, and neither anti-aircraft missiles nor anti-aircraft machine guns can shoot them down, unless a real barrage is formed on the side of the warship.

But the real barrage is formed to talk about and easy? Not to mention the need for a huge amount of bullets, where are there so many anti-aircraft machine guns, high-speed small-caliber guns? Where are so many soldiers cāo made?

The only way for them to come was to silently pray to God, hoping that these missiles would miss their targets, or pass by the warship, and if they really couldn't do it, they would simply hit their own bodies, so that they would be turned into minced flesh at the moment of the missile's explosion, and they could die without pain. The most unfortunate thing for those on the warship is not death, but being roasted by the flames of the warship, burning their limbs like torches but not dying for a while, they can only wail in pain and in vain. At that time, I really hoped that someone would shoot me in the head to end the unbearable pain and fear quickly.

Unlike the French, who were triumphant at first, but now have a broken heart, the British officers and soldiers were much calmer in the face of this situation. After receiving the order from their superiors, they quickly aimed their anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns at the direction of the incoming missiles, and meticulously poured bullets.

"Firelight!" A soldier suddenly shouted, "Argentine missiles are coming!" ”

The tail flame of the YJ0 missile was very conspicuous in the dark night sky, and the soldier who was the first to see the missile with the naked eye and shouted stopped firing at this time, staring blankly at the floating Grim Reaper: it would be right and left, and it would not be able to predict its position at all.

As the light of the missile's tail flame gradually increased, the soldier's pupils became more and more dilated!

Because the missiles fly too low, and the deck of the warship is far higher than the flight altitude of the missiles, and at the same time, the role of anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns is for air defense, and its elevation angle is designed to be at least five degrees or more.

If a soldier wants to hit a missile flying close to the sea, he must remove the anti-aircraft machine gun or small-caliber anti-aircraft gun from the base and place them on the outer edge of the deck. How can it be done in a short period of time, and how can it be fixed even if it is done for a while? Some people simply threw deep-water (explosive) bombs or deep-water rockets to the side of the board in a hurry.

YJ-0 was only 1.5 meters above the sea at this time, and it was flying faster than Mach.

The captain also panicked, so he had to shout in despair: "Right full rudder, full speed!" ”

It's a pity that it's already too late, and the speed of supersonic speed is simply a matter of a moment:

The missile hits the target!

The incoming missile hit the amidships of the frigate "Antelope". The armor-piercing warhead burrowed into the cabin of the ship and exploded in the communications room, destroying half of the entire ship island, and both the officers in the command cabin and the soldiers around the ship island were either lifted into the air by the air wave of the explosion or cut into pieces by shrapnel.

The raging fire immediately burst into flames......

Countless soldiers scurried around, and those who were on fire could not stand the burning fire and jumped into the sea...... The French experts, not far from the island, finally got their wish, they were blown to pieces in the first round of explosions, and left this world without suffering from the shells and fuel injections that followed.

Because the officer is dead, and the relevant transfer of power cannot be completed for a while, knowing that the frigate is about to sink, but there is no officer to announce the abandonment of the ship, the soldiers can only choose by their own courage or timidity. Some jumped into the icy waters, some shivered on the deck, and some ran with shouts......
