Chapter 354: My Flying Fish, I'm in Charge
Adnan opened the cockpit and stepped off the plane quickly.
Seeing the waiting crowd on the ground, His Excellency Qusay was very happy, he had been away from Iraq for almost half a year, and he had always wanted to come back and fight side by side with his comrades!
Now, it can finally be realized, and moreover, I have brought back this advanced fighter, which is more advanced than the Mirage F1, which can completely defend Iraq's airspace!
"Your Excellency Qusay! Air Force Lieutenant Adnan, complete your mission and return from the United States! Our Tiger Shark fighter can become an eagle in our sky in the future! Adnan said happily.
Unbeknownst to him, His Excellency Qusay was not happy, he stared at Adnan and said, "Who made you fly at a low altitude and at a high speed?" Look at this American guest! β
As soon as Adnan turned his head, he saw that the very bullish test pilot Darrell was glaring angrily.
βiβmsorryοΌβ Adnan said quickly.
Just now back in his home country, Adnan was a little too excited.
"What about the rest?" Zhang Feng saw that there were only wingman pilots, and this time a total of four people were dispatched.
"They came back by road." Adnan said: "In order to avoid accidents, this time we flew the first two sorties with American pilots, but our remaining two pilots were also fully able to fly." β
Zhang Feng nodded, when he sent people to the United States, he wanted to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
"Everyone went to the Baghdad Hotel to pick up friends from afar." Zhang Feng said.
Darel got out of the plane and got into the car with another American pilot, following the people who had come to meet them.
Four F-20s, towed by a towing vehicle, slowly drove to the hangar.
"If only we could go up and have a look." Xiao Dangsheng said.
"Go back to work, you can't become fat in one bite." Tukida knew that now was not the time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ In the South Atlantic, sixteen members of the British SBS first took a submarine and then changed to a rubber boat to infiltrate Leo on the Argentine mainland? The Gallegos Air Base blew up eight "super flags" of the Argentine Army in one fell swoop, and there were only 14 of them in total, which greatly weakened the Argentine Air Force's ability to attack the sea.
At 3 a.m. on 21 May, the SAS commandos landed in the first echelon at Cape Fanning, where the Argentine army was the weakest defensive, with only 50 men guarding it. At 3:40 a.m., two British amphibious assault ships and four landing ships carried out a multi-point three-dimensional landing in San Carlos, and they successfully went ashore without resistance. The British army seized the weakness of the Argentine army's poor ability to fight at night, raced against time to rush to transport personnel and supplies, and landed 2,500 people and 32,000 tons of supplies in four hours. And build fortifications, organize defenses, and prepare for a counterattack.
After dawn, the day's fighting began, and the British army withstood the counterattack of the Afghan army, controlled the 20-square-kilometer beachhead, and laid a steel airstrip for "Harrier" and helicopter take-off and landing, further consolidating the landing beachhead.
The most fierce naval and air battle broke out on May 25, which was Argentina's National Day, and the Argentine Air Force went all out to present the National Day.
Moreover, they also have the capital to make a sortie, because, they have new Exocet missiles!
History began to have a new discrepancy, because of Zhang Feng's intervention, Argentina obtained ten Exocet missiles, which completely changed the fate of naval warfare.
Because of a mechanical failure of a super military flag aircraft, only five took off normally, and of these five, one did not reach the battlefield and returned again because of a failure to refuel in the air.
The remaining four Super Army Flags all arrived in the war zone.
At this time, the big battle in the sea and air had begun, and the Harrier fighters of the British Navy were fighting together with the A-4 Skyhawks of the Argentine Air Force, and the anti-aircraft fire on the warships was also firing non-stop.
Although the Argentine Air Force was poorly equipped, it was trained by the United States, France, and Israel and was able to penetrate layers of firepower and bomb British ships.
From time to time, warplanes were hit, however, the Argentine Air Force was fearless!
Under the cover of other fighters, four super military flags advanced at a low altitude, and their targets were the "Athletic" and the "Invincible" aircraft carrier, which were the core of the opponent's ocean-going fleet, and if they sank these two warships, the British expeditionary force would be defeated.
The old trick of the super military flag was repeated, and the ultra-low altitude penetrated the opponent's air defense circle.
Then, pull up vertically, scan the target, launch the missile, and everything is as usual trained.
Each Super Military Flag has a Exocet missile under the wing, and four planes are eight missiles!
The white smoke trail spread on the surface of the sea, and at this time, the sister ship of the destroyer Sheffield, the destroyer "Coventry", which was on the side of the Invincible, immediately fired at full speed and followed, and it wanted to use its body to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier, which was also the mission of the destroyer as a frigate.
At the same time, it began to emit interfering signals.
The French astronauts were helpless, and under strong pressure, they supplied the British with the frequencies of the guidance radar for the Exocet missile. It was possible to allow the warships of the British to interfere with this Exocet missile.
As a result, two of the four Exocet missiles were jammed and lost their targets, and the other two got into the stomachs of the nearby Ro-Ro ships "Atlantic Transporter" and passenger ships "Uganda". More than 50 of the 300 British soldiers on board the Uganda passenger ship were killed and burned to death.
The destroyer "Coventry" was sunk by bombs dropped by Argentine Air Force Skyhawk attack aircraft, as a result of which it was only interested in covering the aircraft carrier.
The other "Athletic God" was not so lucky, although it was also escorted by a warship next to it, but under the blow of four Exocet missiles, one of the Exocet missiles successfully crashed into the aircraft carrier and blew up a big hole.
At this time, the damage management system of the "Athletic God" came into play, because it only hit one water tank, the aircraft carrier could also maintain the balance of the aircraft carrier by closing the watertight door and filling the other compartments with water.
On this day, the Argentine Air Force was ecstatic, but the British were completely outraged.
"We must find out which country secretly sold the Exocet missiles to Argentina!" Margaret Thatcher, who is known for her iron fist, was completely furious, and this battle almost beat the expeditionary force back to her hometown! As long as one of the two aircraft carriers is sunk, the expeditionary force will no longer be able to fight.
"Although the last operation in Chile failed and no evidence was found that Iraq sold Exocet missiles to Argentina, we are very sure that the Iraqis must have been responsible for it!" George said. "As long as we check the Iraqi stockpiles of flying fish, there are at least five missing!"
In this battle, Argentina used eight Exocet missiles, and everyone knows that they only have three in their inventory, where did the remaining five come from? Moreover, the other side may also have Exocet missiles!
Margaret Thatcher calmed down and checked the stocks of the Iraqis? How to check? Last time, because of the search of the Iraqi cargo ship, there was already a big diplomatic dispute, Saddam Hussein is so easy to get along with? If you want to check it yourself, the other party will obediently comply? After the last incident, he made himself disgraced, and the British ambassador to Iraq was even scolded by Saddam Hussein, and he did not dare to fight back.
"George, are you sure?" Margaret Thatcher asked.
"Yes, we are completely sure that there will be five more Exocet missiles at one time, and in the list of French sales to foreign countries, only Iraq has imported more than ten Exocet missiles, and there will definitely not be a second one, unless Argentina gets Exocet missiles from several countries at the same time, but this is simply impossible." George said.
"Good!" Margaret Thatcher finally made a decision: "Then we will apply to the United Nations to inspect the Iraqi Exocet missile stockpile, and at the same time, ask the United States and France for assistance to put pressure on Iraq together!" β
In the future, the superpowers can appoint at will: your country, with weapons of mass destruction, must be verified!
What the? Don't let me check? Then I'll punch you with my fists!
The boss of the world has always been so domineering.
And now, Britain has long been reduced to a second-rate power, and it does not have that momentum, but now is the most critical time for Britain, and it is absolutely necessary to hold it up! Margaret Thatcher knew that she had to get to the bottom of the matter, otherwise the expeditionary force fighting thousands of miles away would be in great danger.
............ "The Argentines did a good job, it's time for us to move." Zhang Feng said in the spacious combat command room.
Sending off the Americans, Zhang Feng felt that he was relaxed again, and the upcoming operation was to wipe his ass with the Argentine.
"Joseph, how's it going?" Zhang Feng asked Joseph on the side, who had now fully integrated into the atmosphere of the Southern Military Region.
"It's all matched, but I can't guarantee whether this missile can hit or not." Joseph said.
"So, let's do a live-fire exercise, targeting the Iranian warships that are still in Khomeini Harbor." Zhang Feng said.
"Qusay, we're going big again this time?" Izzat asked.
"Yes, our Mirage F1, with four C801 missiles on board, is ready to sink all the Iranian warships in Khomeini Harbor." Zhang Feng said.
What an appetite? Want to eat all the warships of the Iranians at once?
Zhang Feng showed a very cordial smile: "Muhammad's armored troops have been besieged outside the port of Khomeini for a long time, let's put a few salute flowers and show them." β
Argentina has already used Exocet missiles, and it exceeds the stockpile, and the British will definitely doubt themselves, so they will speak with facts: my Exocet, I myself are not enough!
Moreover, he has already sent Tariq to the French aerospace company to urge the other party to deliver the remaining Exocet missiles, if the other party refuses to pay, then he has no choice but to let the deal abort.
