At this time, the fighting between Britain and Argentina had gradually escalated.

Just after the failure of the first special operation operation, SAS and SBS learned from the lessons learned and switched to being transported to the shore by underwater submarines and then swimming ashore.

At this time, the Argentine defenders on the shore knew nothing.

The special forces carried out reconnaissance throughout the island, ascertained the strength, equipment and firepower of the Argentine troops on the South Island, and selected landing sites for the landing of follow-up troops, clearing minefields on the island.

At this time, the Argentine army on the island was already pork on the board, at the mercy of others.

Two days later, the 42nd Marine Assault Battalion of the British [***] Group landed at the landing site pre-opened by the special forces, and at 6 p.m., the British occupied the port of Gretviken, the capital of the South Island, and the defenders of the island surrendered, and the news was transmitted back to Argentina.

Galtieri was furious, he didn't expect that the British expeditionary force would capture the South Island so quickly!

"General, we should now use our naval and air forces to fight the British with all our might!" Anaya said.

"General, we need to send more supplies to the island as soon as possible, the British have declared a warning zone for us." Lombardo said he was more concerned about the situation with the army on the island.

"Our South Island is just a small garrison, and it is simply impossible for them to land on the Falklands!" "We have tens of thousands of people, and they simply won't fail!" said Galtieri. ”

This last sentence seemed to him as if he were saying it to himself.

"Long live Argentina!"

"The Malvinas Islands are ours!"

"Long live President Galtieri!"

"British, go back!"

At this time, there was an earth-shattering shout outside.

Upon learning of the British invasion of the South Island, the Argentine populace became angry again and began to march in support of their president.

Galtieri's heart was hot, and he pushed open the window, enjoying the support of the people.

"Look, I have the support of these people, we in Argentina, will never fail!" Galtieri said confidently.

Lombardo glanced at the president uneasily, he originally thought that he would have a high command ability as a soldier, but he didn't expect that the people who relied on these marches could scare away the British? The important thing is to fight!

Will your navy be able to deal with the British [***] team coming from an expedition? At first, Lombardo was very convinced, but now, he is not so convinced.

The day before yesterday, the British "Lynx" helicopter discovered the "Santa Fe" submarine sailing on the surface, immediately attacked, launched AS-12 air-to-ship missiles, and dropped depth charges, the "Santa Fe" suffered heavy damage, 65 crew members abandoned the boat and escaped, and were captured by the British troops, and the "Santa Fe" sank in tow.

Looking at Galtieri's big confident face, Lombardo had an ominous premonition for the first time.

His hunch was very correct.

In the South Atlantic, a fleet of cruisers and two destroyers, is returning to Argentina in formation.

Thick black smoke rose from the cruiser's huge chimney, and the bow of the ship cut open the water and was breaking the waves. This cruiser is the pride of the Argentine army, the cruiser "General Bergono".

This warship is the USS Phoenix, a decommissioned Brooklyn-class cruiser bought by Argentina. Launched in 1938 with a full load displacement of 12,242 tons and equipped with five triple 152 mm guns, it was a major contributor to World War II, and was once General MacArthur's ship, and also rushed out of the harbor unscathed in the Pearl Harbor sneak attack.

The ship was like a tenacious soldier in World War II, wounded many times but still standing, torpedoed, eaten cannonballs, suffered aerial bombs, and was even patronized by the kamikaze team of the Japanese until the end of the war.

Argentina originally named the ship October Victory, which was soon renamed General Bergueno. Since then, the Argentine Navy has modernized the "General Bergono" twice, added the "Sea Cat" anti-aircraft missile, and installed helicopters, which was the flagship of the Argentine army until the aircraft carrier entered service on 25 May.

Now the aircraft carrier is on its way back, and they don't know that danger is coming.

The Argentine Navy is very lacking in anti-submarine capabilities, which is also proposed by Lombardo before, as long as the British submarine arrives, then the best choice for the Argentine Navy is to avoid war.

It's just that now no one takes the British Navy seriously.

Until it was attacked on the South Island, until the cruiser was sunk.

The cruiser "General Bergono", not noticing, there was a very small thing on the surface of the sea, which paddled the waves of the sea, and there was even a seagull, squatting on it.

That was the periscope of the nuclear submarine "Conqueror".

Just a day ago, the "Conqueror" nuclear submarine patrolling the waters around the Falklands, sonar crews suddenly discovered a huge noise source, according to the intensity, at least the sound of ships of more than 10,000 tons when sailing!

The captain, Lieutenant Commander Brown, was overjoyed and immediately ordered to follow.

Floating to the periscope depth, looking at the huge silhouette that appeared in the periscope, although in the fog of the South Atlantic, it was a little unclear, he could also judge that this ship was the cruiser "General Belgno" of the Argentine Navy!

It's a big game! Lieutenant Colonel Brown was very pleased.

However, he did not attack immediately, because by this time the cruiser had already sailed out of the 200-nautical-mile exclusion zone they had set for it, and Lieutenant Colonel Brown had to report to his superiors via longwave radio.

This report, all the way up, the Naval Operations Department, the political axe, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher personally made the decision: attack!

"Azimuth 215, distance 300, two MK-8, ready." Lieutenant Colonel Brown passed through the periscope and calmly ordered.

"Launch!"

"Bang! Boom! "It was the sound of the torpedo tubes opening and the sea water pouring in, and then the two torpedoes were ejected by the compressed air from the front tubes, and the propellers turned and began to sail on the surface of the sea.

The trajectory of two inconspicuous churning waves swam towards the behemoth in front of them.

"Launch tube No. 3, azimuth 216, distance 290, launch!"

Lieutenant Colonel Brown felt that such a behemoth, if he wanted to completely destroy it, the two torpedoes just now were a little powerful. So, another one was added.

Three torpedoes, I don't believe that I can't kill you!

Sure enough, a few minutes later, in the periscope, I saw that wonderful sight.

Without warning, at the bottom of the cruiser "General Berguenot", suddenly there was a violent explosion, one hit the rear, one hit the front, the boiler in the back and the ammunition in front exploded, igniting a raging fire.

Although one torpedo missed, it managed to take out the Argentine pride, the cruiser "General Bergueno" of more than 10,000 tons!

The world was shocked.
