"British go back!"

At this time, there was a loud shout from outside.

After learning that the British army had invaded the South Island, the people of Argentina became angry again, and they started a march to support their president.

Galtieri's heart suddenly became hot, and he opened the window to enjoy the support of the people.

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

Lombardo glanced at the president uneasily. He thought that he, who was born in the military, would have such a high command ability. Unexpectedly, his short-sightedness, relying on these parade people, can scare away the British?The important thing is to fight!

Can one's own navy deal with the British army from the expedition?At the beginning, Lombardo was very convinced, but now, he is not so convinced.

Since the arrival of the British Expeditionary Force, they have not won a single battle. Just the day before yesterday, the British "Lynx" helicopter discovered the "Santa Fe" submarine sailing on the surface, and immediately attacked, launching AS-12 air-to-ship missiles. Depth charges were dropped, and the "Santa Fe" was severely damaged. 65 crew members abandoned the boat to escape and were captured by the British army. The "Santa Fe" sank while being towed.

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

His hunch was very correct.

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

Thick black smoke billowed from the huge funnel of the cruiser, and the bow cut through the water, breaking through the waves.This cruiser is the pride of the Argentine army, the "General Belgno" cruiser.

This warship is the decommissioned Brooklyn-class cruiser USS "Phoenix" bought by Argentina. Launched in 1938, full load displacement 1

242 tons, equipped with five triple 152mm main guns, made great contributions in World War II. It was once the ship of General MacArthur, and it also rushed out of the port unscathed in the Pearl Harbor attack.

This ship was like a tenacious soldier in World War II. It was wounded many times but stood still. It was hit by torpedoes, shells, and aerial bombs. It was even patronized by the Japanese kamikaze until the end of the war.

Argentina initially named the ship October Victory, and soon changed its name to General Belgno.Since then, the Argentine Navy has carried out two modernizations for the "General Belgno", adding "Sea Cat" air defense missiles and installing helicopters. Before the aircraft carrier entered service on May 2, it has always been the flagship of the Argentine army.

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

The Argentine Navy lacks anti-submarine capabilities. This was also proposed by Lombardo before. As long as the British submarines arrive, the best choice for the Argentine Navy is to avoid war.

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

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

The cruiser "General Belgno" didn't notice that there was a small thing on the sea surface that made waves in the sea, and there was even a seagull squatting on it.

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

Just a day ago, the sonar crew of the "Conqueror" nuclear submarine patrolling the waters around Falklands suddenly discovered a huge noise source. According to the intensity, it was at least the sound made by ships above [-] tons when sailing!

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

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

This is a big game!Lieutenant Colonel Brown was very happy.

However, he did not launch an attack immediately, because at this time the cruiser had sailed out of their 200 nautical mile restricted area, and Lieutenant Colonel Brown had to report to his superiors through the long-wave radio.

This report, all the way up, the Department of Naval Warfare, the government, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher personally made a decision: attack!

"Azimuth 215, distance 300, two Mk-8s, ready." Lieutenant Colonel Brown ordered calmly through the periscope.

"emission!"

"Boom! Boom!" This is the sound of the torpedo launch tube opening and the sea water pouring in. Then, the two torpedoes were ejected from the front launch tube by the compressed air, the propellers turned, and they began to sail on the sea.

The trajectories of the two inconspicuous tumbling waves were swimming towards the behemoth ahead.

"Launch tube No. 216, azimuth 290, distance [-], launch!"

Lieutenant Colonel Brown felt that the two torpedoes just now had little power if he wanted to completely destroy such a huge monster.So, add another one.

Three torpedoes won't kill you!

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

Without warning, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the bottom of the "General Belgno" cruiser. One hit the rear and the other hit the front. Both the rear boiler and the front ammunition exploded, igniting a raging fire. fire.

Although one torpedo missed, it still managed to kill the pride of Argentina, the more than 1-ton "General Belgno" cruiser!

The world was shocked.

Although nuclear submarines have been born for decades, the first time an attacking nuclear submarine sank an opponent's warship was not the United States or the Soviet Union, which had many nuclear submarines, but the British submarine force.

What was killed was a cruiser weighing more than [-] tons, and the British announced this battle in a high-profile manner to inspire people.

Although Galtieri was angry, the navy commander Anaya had to shrink the navy's ships and never dared to get too close to the Falklands, especially the baby of the Argentine navy, the aircraft carrier May 25, returned to the The port, throughout the war, was never built again.

However, it does not mean that Argentina has no ability to counterattack the British sinking their warships. They also have their own treasures: Exocet anti-ship missiles and super flag fighters carrying Exocet missiles.

Although the Argentine Air Force has not tested this missile, Iraq in the Middle East has successfully used this missile to destroy Iran's largest warship. Moreover, Iraq finally announced this battle, which made the aerospace company face Greatly shine.

Therefore, the Argentine Air Force immediately prepared to counterattack.

May 5, 4:5 AM, Leo?Grand Naval Air Station.

"Report Tiger, Mercury is ready and requests to take off." On the radio, Captain Ernesto Proni Reston reported calmly.

"Mercury, you can take off." The tower responded.

The sp-0708h "Neptune" reconnaissance aircraft numbered 2, the propellers on both sides began to rotate, and it slid on the runway at an increasing speed. Finally, it took off from the runway, and the semicircular radar under the belly of the aircraft Cover, it looks extra dazzling Karma.

Next to Ernesto was the co-pilot, and there was an action commander behind him.

Their task today is to monitor the actions of the British Navy, because in another hour, a group of C-130 transport planes will be preparing to land at the Argentine Port Airport on Falkland Islands to deliver supplies to the army there. Therefore, the Argentine Air Force must monitor the actions of the British Navy to prevent being attacked by the British fleet.

However, due to fear of the strength of the British Navy, the supply operation was eventually called off.

"Mercury, the operation is cancelled, please continue to stay in the air for monitoring." A voice came from the control tower.

"Received by Mercury," Ernesto replied.

The c-130 is the treasure of the Air Force. If it is shot down by the British, it will definitely not be worth the loss. Ernesto can understand the actions of the ground commander. Anyway, his plane has a few hours of blank time and stays on the battlefield for surveillance. Also a great option.

The Neptune reconnaissance plane was flying level on the sea surface, patrolling the nearby sea surface.

7:50.
