Southern Hemisphere in May.

Under the gray sky, the cold sea breeze of the South Atlantic is blowing.

Across the gloomy skyline, the black-and-gray sea gradually turned inky black from far to near.

Sea fog shrouds the ocean, making this majestic water world seem mysterious.

Through the mist in the sea, the waves on the sea are colorful and magnificent.

Is it the power of the wind god that stirs up the black sea water like the bottom of a pot?

No!

It is ...... who want to make waves through the sea fog The people who are watching this ocean, their ambition!

It is not the wind god who controls the southeast and northwest winds that makes the sea stir.

What makes the sea boil is the revenge bird incarnated by the goddess of revenge in the mythological drama!

Look at the skyline!

A revenge bird!

It is as if it has jumped out of the majestic and magnificent waves of the Kuroshio Current...... Suddenly appeared on the horizon!

Revenge bird petrel?

Vengeful Bird Super Army Banner!

Behind, another one!

Two revenge birds, one in front of the other and one behind, in an arrow-shaped formation, clinging to the sea, flying silently.

If you look down from God's point of view, there is a sizable fleet cruising about 160 nautical miles from the avenging birds.

On May 4, 1982, in the South Atlantic, 100 nautical miles north of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, a sizable fleet cruised.

British Empire Task Force.

On April 7, the British issued a proclamation to the world: "From 4 o'clock GMT on April 12, the waters around the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) shall be no-sail for 200 nautical miles, and no foreign ships will be allowed to enter." ”

On 28 April, the British went further: "From 11 a.m. GMT on 30 April, the Falkland no-sail zone has been upgraded to a no-sail zone in the air and sea, and all ships and aircraft entering this area will be attacked by British forces." ”

Two days earlier, at 3 p.m. and almost 4 p.m. on May 2, the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano, which had been torpedoed by the British nuclear submarine INS Conqueror outside the Falklands' air and sea no-sail zone, proved with bloody facts that the British were not telling London jokes.

The arc of the task force looked like a large onion, well, a large onion that had been cut in half to be exact.

A large onion over 40 nautical miles in size that has been cut in half.

The three Type 42 Sheffield-class destroyers are the outer layer of the onion, the inner layer is a mixture of older destroyers and frigates, the number is four, and the inner point is the two Type 22 Broadsword-class frigates, all of which are designed to protect the innermost "onion core" - the only two aircraft carriers of the British, HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible.

If you look at the entire task force with the concept of modern football created by the British. Then, the task force came up with a 3-4-2 formation with three Type 42 destroyers as the vanguard, four mixed ships as the midfield, and two Type 22 frigates as the rear guard and goalkeeper.

However, this 3-4-2 formation of "one player sent off at the beginning", no matter how you look at it, does not match the "solid defense......

But there is no way, after all, this is the property that the Royal Navy in the 1980s could only get its hands on.

With the three Type 42 destroyers "Sheffield" on the left, the Coventry on the right, and the "Glasgow" on the right, together serving as the vanguard of the task force, the three good brothers are cleaving the waves in rather difficult sea conditions, and they are about 10 nautical miles away from each other.

"Suspicious signals intercepted! The bearing is 010,10! ”

The electronic warfare operator of the CIC combat intelligence center "USS Glasgow" suddenly reported.

"The radome is accurate!" The head of electronic warfare quickly gave instructions.

The signal did not reappear, the air defense radar did not find anything, everything was as if nothing had happened.

"Glasgow" quickly reported this information to the commander of the air defense of the task force on the flagship "Invincible".

Perhaps it was due to the fact that the nervous Royal Navy boys had been making too many fancy false positives and false reports for some time, and the air defense commander on duty made a judgment that was proved absolutely wrong by later history.

Because he said: "This is a deceptive false signal. ”

In fact, this is one of three radar detection signals issued by the "Revenge Bird", a Super Flag attack aircraft to launch Exocet missiles.

The Neptune electronic warfare reconnaissance aircraft, which provided advance intelligence support for the Super Banner, indicated the exact location of the target for the last time at 10:35: "52 degrees 33 minutes 55 seconds south latitude, 50 degrees 40 minutes 55 seconds west longitude." ”

At 10:50 a.m., the "Revenge Bird" Super Military Flag attack plane, which had heard the wind, climbed its altitude for the first time from an ultra-low-altitude state of penetration, turned on its radar, and did not find a target in the established area.

The Super Flag descended about 40 kilometers to an altitude of about 40 kilometers, this time jumping to 2,500 feet, and the radar turned on for the second time to send out a detection signal, this time, the radar scan, which lasted for several seconds, finally found four targets, one large and three small. The attack aircraft lowered its altitude again and became a beautiful man who listened quietly - while the pilots were busy feeding valuable target data into the fire control system.

The two revenge birds were now within 40 nautical miles of the Task Force's advance.

The two brave revenge birds continued their terminal penetration, further closing the attack distance (about 30 nautical miles), then climbed to an altitude of 2,500 feet, and the last radar was turned on, finally locking onto the target, and the pilot pressed the button to launch the Exocet missile.

At this time, Colonel Salter, the captain of the left winger of the task force "Sheffield", happened to be using a satellite phone to talk to London, because of electromagnetic compatibility problems, the Type 966 long-range air warning radar had to be on standby at this time. Even so, the star officer, Lieutenant Colonel Nick Baso, received a report from the CIC Combat Intelligence Center.

"Unidentified aircraft spotted!"

The intelligence came from the Type 909 radar, which was still working on the machine, and its detection range was relatively close.

"Is there a situation?" Lieutenant Colonel Basso had doubts in his mind, because there was another report next.

"The target is gone!"

"The target is gone!" A short message, but there can be many interpretations. The first is that the target really disappeared, and secondly, it can also be interpreted as the target is far away, and of course it can also be said to be a false alarm - just like what the air defense commander just said to the "Glasgow".

Lieutenant Colonel Basso informed the observer on duty, Lieutenant Walpole: "There may be an anomaly, pay attention to observation." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Basso turned around and continued to analyze the situation: Is it an enemy plane or a our plane? Or...... Nothing? Another false alarm......

After a while, Captain Walpole on the bridge really noticed the "anomaly".

A cloud of smoke with flashes of light......

Earlier than Captain Walpole, the anomaly was discovered by the ship's electronics - a directional radar signal from an unknown source had locked onto the ship!

"My God! It's a missile! The captain exclaimed.

At this time, the captain of the ship, Colonel Salter, also saw what was flying over!

“Take Cover！”

Within seconds, the Sheffield had a ...... Destined for a passionate intimate encounter!
