Chapter 781: A-4's Attack
"Quick, gun, shoot!" On the Invincible, the exclamations continued, the arrival of these Skyhawk attack planes made the personnel on the Invincible aircraft carrier scramble, and now, their only means of counterattack is naval guns!
The 114-mm naval guns were constantly firing into the air, and the hot shell shells around them were piled up in the open space, and flames came out of the muzzles, shooting towards the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The arrival of these Skyhawk attack planes really caught the British off guard, and when those Skyhawk attack planes pulled up from the sea and prepared to dive and drop bombs, the British reacted!
On the bridge, the captain's face also changed color, and he gave a loud order: "Quick, full rudder left, full rudder left!" Full! ”
A Skyhawk attack plane, which was the first to pull up, had already dived down regardless of death, and the 114 mm naval gun was actually powerful enough at this time, and one shot hit this Skyhawk attack plane, and in an instant, the entire fighter turned into a fireball in the air! However, almost at the same time, under the wing of the Skyhawk attack aircraft, two 227-kilogram bombs, also broke away from the fighter and flew over!
The speed of the aircraft carrier at this time is more than 20 knots, and in this case, once the left rudder is full, the entire hull will tilt, and even the unlucky ones who are not stable on the deck will fall into the sea. But now, no one cares so much, and the accuracy of those two bombs is very high!
The Invincible aircraft carrier turned quickly, the hull was tilting rapidly, and at this time, the damage management work of the hit part below had just been completed, and the buoyancy of the hull had already become smaller, and this kind of maneuvering action was quite dangerous.
Fortunately, the two bombs, which did not hit the deck, exploded in the sea a few meters away from the warship.
But that's the first time! Next, there were the outlaw-like Argentine pilots, who swooped down!
"Avenge the squadron leader!" Pilot José Basques shouted loudly over the radio, just now, he saw with his own eyes that the long plane was hit by British artillery fire and turned into a fireball, he was not afraid, at this time, he was completely occupied by anger in his head, blowing up the British aircraft carrier! This is Argentine land! Colonialists fuck off!
The 114-mm naval guns continued to fire into the air, but unfortunately, two shells had just been fired, and the naval guns were dumb.
"The continuous shooting is overheated, and the ship's guns are jammed!" The soldier in charge of operating the ship's guns shouted.
This kind of self-firing naval gun rarely jams, however, once it jams, it is difficult to troubleshoot in a short time!
The British were also in a hurry, and a soldier with a hammer was about to climb onto the ship's gun, ready to slash a few times, so that the barrel would vibrate and drop the jammed shell!
Meanwhile, José Basquez had finished aiming, he pressed the button and waited for the fuselage to vibrate, indicating that his bomb had fallen.
However, after he pressed the button, this feeling did not come, and he looked at the dashboard in front of him, which clearly showed that the bomb was malfunctioning and that the bomb could not get out of the pylon!
Damn it! How did those stupid ground crews maintain fighters and hang bombs? At this time, José Basquez had no time to curse, his hand pulled the lever, trying to pull it up, since he was no longer able to drop bombs, then he had to return, but when he saw the deck of the Invincible so clearly, remembering the sacrifice of Squadron Leader Ernesto Urreta just now, he could no longer control his fanaticism, so he continued to keep course and rushed towards the deck of the Invincible aircraft carrier!
"Long live Argentina!" On the radio, José Basquez uttered his final voice.
Inside the bridge, Admiral John Federhouse's eyes were firmly fixed on the fighter plane falling from the sky, and at this moment, the picture froze, at the beginning, only when the islanders were defeated, they organized kamikaze drones, in a vain attempt to delay their destruction with suicide attacks. And now, unexpectedly, the Argentines have also launched such an attack!
Can this aircraft carrier under his feet withstand such a blow!
"Boom!" The A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft fell to the deck, and at this moment, two bombs that could not be thrown, the fuses were activated, and a violent explosion was released! The entire attack aircraft, also in the explosion, ignited a raging fire! The remaining fuel of the attack aircraft is the best incendiary!
"Quick, put out the fire!" The captain of the aircraft carrier shouted loudly, if the plane fell a little further back, the Sea Harrier fighters in the parking area would also be affected, and even so, the fire would soon spread!
The deck is very strong, in order to withstand the impact of the take-off and landing fighters, and at the same time in order to withstand the heat of the sea harrier's vertical take-off and landing, the deck is paved with the highest strength steel plate, and the explosion just now does not seem to have damaged the deck!
"Report, there's a fire in the hangar!" That's when bad news came! That damn Skyhawk attack plane, it still made a big crack in the deck! The hangar below deck, too, was set on fire!
"Quick, damage management!"
At the same time as shouting into the microphone, the captain's eyes froze, and in the air, the other two A-4 attack planes had already dropped the bombs in a swaying manner!
One of the bombs exploded at the location where the Skyhawk attack plane had just crashed! This explosion also tore a big hole in the deck! The fire spread quickly!
A wave of fear enveloped the captain's heart, and he turned to Admiral John on the side and said, "General, please leave the Invincible at once!" I'll arrange a helicopter right away! ”
At every meeting, the captains were brought to the Invincible by helicopter, and now, once they were fighting, they were all scattered, for example, Rear Admiral Woodward, who was now on another Athletic.
Admiral John's face turned pale, he didn't seem to hear the captain's words, his eyes looked outside, a few kilometers away, the Athletic God was also facing a large number of Skyhawk attack planes at this time!
Damn, if we had a supercarrier like the United States, would we let these rudimentary Skyhawk attack planes fly over our own side and bomb them? It is simply a shame for the British Navy that it did not fall into the attack of Exocet missiles, but was sunk by throwing bombs in the way of World War II!
Closing his eyes, Admiral John's mind appeared again the figure of the Prime Minister Iron Lady, before the original departure, Admiral John was full of confidence, and he must retake the Falklands by force! And all this time, the Iron Lady was firmly in favor of Admiral John, including the destruction of the Argentine cruiser with a nuclear submarine!
But what about now? If the Invincible sinks, will the British Navy still be able to achieve the set plan? (To be continued.) )
