"What?" Clapp's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The receiving force I arranged at the beach has not waited for you, I thought something happened to you, and even captured more than 700 prisoners?" How did you do it! ”

"General!" I corrected: "As we speak, I believe that the number of prisoners has exceeded a thousand, and that it is still growing. ”

"Oh my God! More than a thousand? Clapp's exclamation came from the microphone: "There are only more than 100 of you, not only rescued SAS but also captured more than 1,000 prisoners?!" ”

"So now we don't know what to do!" I said, "There are so many prisoners that we can't march normally with them, which means we can't reach the coast in the appointed time, as originally planned." ”

"What do you think?" Clapp asked.

"General!" I said: "I think this is an opportunity for us to get so many Argentine troops to surrender with this small detachment, which is enough to show that the Argentine army is actually on the verge of collapse." In other words, as long as we work harder and play this fake show for real, then the entire Afghan army in Port Stanley will collapse on all fronts, and victory will not be far from us! ”

"Hmm!" Clapp on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then asked, "Are you sure this is not a small-scale incident of the Afghan army?" ”

"No, General!" I glanced at the British soldiers who were still taking prisoners, and said, "If you can come here and see for yourself, you will know that I am right, we can't even stop their surrender!" ”

"Good!" Clapp replied: "That's good news. But I'll have to consult with the other generals before I can make a decision! ”

"Yes!" I should be. I looked at the hands on my watch, which were already pointing to half past three. He added: "But I think it should be faster, if we haven't set it up before dawn, then the Ah Jun is very likely to find out that we are just bluffing!" ”

This is very important to us, for the simple reason that if the Argentines find out at daybreak that the British have not broken through their lines and laid siege to Port Stanley in full, as we have said, the first thing is that the captives will have a feeling of being deceived. The second is the Afghan army in Port Stanley that has yet shown surrender and intends to stop this surrender trend...... They will take an extreme approach, and this extreme tactic may well be to completely defeat us, even those who have surrendered.

In other words, don't look at the scenery we are now. Constantly receiving the surrender of the Afghan army, but in fact, it is in danger and accidents can happen at any time.

"Colonel!" Ten minutes later, Clapp said to me, "We've discussed it and we agree with you, maybe this is a chance for us to end this damn war early." So, we'll make arrangements soon! Your mission is to occupy the vantage ground and stay there to continue receiving the captives! ”

"Yes!" I answered.

As for what kind of arrangement General Clapp will make, it is naturally inconvenient to say this on the walkie-talkie, otherwise it will be dangerous to be eavesdropped by the Argentine side.

Of course, this does not mean that I do not need to know about these arrangements, and we will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in whatever the British army does next, so it is important for us to know the battle plan and cooperate with it.

Soon I received the plan from Clapp on telegram.

The British army will then divide into three steps.

The first is to continue the bombardment of Port Stanley with naval guns and Harriers. In order to cooperate with us to continue to create an atmosphere of general offensive.

The second is to launch an attack on the No. 1 and No. 2 positions where the Argentine special forces are stationed, which is different from the previous feints. This time the attack was real, and the purpose was to pull out the nail that stood in the way to Port Stanley.

Of course, Clapp also knows that the special forces of the Argentine army are well-equipped and have good combat effectiveness.

In order to be able to take these two heights smoothly and put pressure on Port Stanley, Clapp even called in the only eight armored vehicles of the British army...... Four belted "Scorpion" and four "Qujian" armed reconnaissance vehicles.

Of course, these two armed reconnaissance vehicles are nothing compared to the tanks of the British army...... The main reason why the British did not use tanks in the Falklands War was that the terrain on the Falklands was not suitable for tank combat, and the snow and muddy roads and swamps on it were a nightmare for tanks.

Armed reconnaissance vehicles, on the other hand, have no problem with this, and they weigh only eight tons and can even be airlifted by helicopter, so they can easily and quickly maneuver to the battlefield where they are needed.

What's more, these two vehicles also have night vision devices and powerful firepower, which can provide sufficient fire cover for infantry at night.

Of course, I think that Clapp will put this armed reconnaissance vehicle on board at this time, most likely in order to consume the Stinger missiles of the Afghan special forces.

You must know that this Stinger missile also has night vision, so it is effortless to fight this armored vehicle with armor that can only resist bullets.

But the question is how many Stingers can the special forces of the Afghan army carry? They had reached Heights No. 1 and No. 2 by helicopter parade, and had been stationed on Heights No. 1 and No. 2 for a day, and the SAS that they had been stationed at the same time was almost facing the point of running out of ammunition and food, so how much better would the situation of the special forces of the Afghan army be?

Therefore, Clapp has every reason to believe that there are not many Stingers left in the Afghan special forces, and the only ones that can make them shoot the few remaining Stingers are armed reconnaissance vehicles.

The third step was to mobilize troops from the other three directions in the direction of Port Stanley.

These three directions also include the sea surface, especially on the sea surface, where Clapp has set up several warships and landing craft, etc., and even in order to bluff, they have specially transferred reserves to pretend to be a landing force to do various preparatory activities in front of Port Stanley, posing as if they are going to force a landing on several sides to attack Port Stanley.

Actually, I think the most important thing here is the bluff on the sea.

Of course, it will be difficult to attack from the sea, as this is the front of Port Stanley's defense, and it is also the most powerful part of its firepower.

But it doesn't really matter, the important thing is that the Afghan army in Port Stanley can see it.

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and when they really saw it, it seems that the general attack of the British army on Port Stanley was indeed a fact. (To be continued......)
