Historically, the Argentine Navy used the Neptune reconnaissance plane to scout the position of the British naval formation, and then notified the position to the super ensign fighter. This is a professional reconnaissance aircraft equipped by the United States after World War II. It was the main force of the West in the 1950s and 1960s. However, by the 1980s, this aircraft was extremely old. The spare parts had to be decommissioned. As a result, the Argentine Navy lost its eyes and it was difficult to find the location of the British maritime formation. Among the several attacks, only one or two successfully found the British maritime formation.

But it's different now. The position of the British maritime formation is firmly in the hands of the Argentine military. They don't have to worry about finding the position of the British navy. They only need to do one thing, that is, launch an attack!

At the same time, the British maritime formation was ready to fight based on the early warning information sent by Chile. Two hours after the Argentine naval aviation dispatched, two Sea Harrier fighters took off from the deck of the Hermes. Ready to welcome the arrival of the Argentine Naval Air Force, they flew west immediately after the formation took off, and at the same time, turned on the radar of their nose.

If it is a normal air superiority fighter, the search distance can reach at least 100 kilometers, but for the simple blue fox radar, the search distance for fighters flying at ultra-low altitude over the sea will not exceed 50 kilometers. This requires them to fly farther to be able to give early warning! As long as the target is found, the remaining Sea Harriers will continue to take off from the rear to fight the Argentines!

Pilot George was driving the Sea Harrier with the Pegasus engine fully open, reaching the maximum speed of the Sea Harrier without afterburner. His eyes kept scanning the radar screen in his cockpit, hoping to find something.

However, nothing is seen!

It has already flown to a distance of 200 kilometers from the aircraft carrier formation! Until now, no large fleet of Argentines has been found! what happened? Could it be that Chile's early warning information was wrong?

At this moment, George heard an exclamation from the headset: Damn, these Argentines are flying from the east, hurry up, Libra, return home!

Libra is George's radio call code, and he was also surprised. It turned out that the Argentines carried out a rear raid! One side thought that the other party was rushing from the west! But in fact, the Argentines went around in a circle, went around to the east of their own formation, and launched an attack!

A Type 42 destroyer, the Coventry, on the right side of the aircraft carrier formation, keenly detected the brief echo of the Argentine's ultra-low-altitude fighter plane climbing!

Moreover, more than one climbed up! The echoes are densely packed, there are at least a dozen fighter planes! How can this be? Are these fighters carrying anti-ship missiles?

How can this be! The only Argentine aircraft capable of carrying Exocet missiles is the Super Emblem fighter, which has disappeared! However, if the attack was not launched with the Exocet missile, why did the Argentines pull up from the ultra-low altitude and then return to the ultra-low altitude?

Too strange!

The destroyer Coventry issued a battle alert at the first moment, and at the same time began to prepare for launching sea javelin anti-aircraft missiles. As long as the Argentine planes came over, they would deal the heaviest blow!

Even if it's a flying fish missile, kill it!

Report, the radar screen is full of snowflakes. At this moment, the radar soldier shouted anxiously, which surprised Captain David Hart Deck.

It was Huck who was talking, a tall young man from England. He was just a volunteer soldier. When the destroyer Coventry was going south, five soldiers on the warship had to leave because of various problems, such as someone going home to get married, so Therefore, five volunteers were recruited when five people were vacated on the ship. This is also the tradition of the Royal Navy.

Huck, a volunteer,

He retired five years ago and was a radar soldier before retiring. However, he has not operated the new radar of the Coventry. His advantage is that he has a pair of sharp eyes, which can clearly spot the flashing radar echoes from the screen. It's a pity that the snowflakes all over the screen now make him at a loss.

Jamming, damn it, the Argentines actually have an electronic jamming machine! Captain David shouted, Quickly, start anti-jamming measures!

In modern warfare, the effect of soft damage has gradually become prominent. If you want to control air power and sea power, you need to first master electromagnetic power. Israel has used it very well in the last few Middle East wars. But now, no one thought that the Argentines would actually have such means! According to the intelligence held by the United Kingdom, it is impossible for Argentina to have electronic jammers!

Unfortunately, it was too late. Just as they were scrambling to activate anti-jamming measures, the lookout post had already discovered a bright spot on the sea in the distance. The Argentines really launched the Exocet missile!

A series of impossibilities completely disrupted the arrangement of the British Navy! The Coventry weakly and continuously launched platinum interference bars into the sky, hoping to interfere with the flight trajectory of the Exocet missile and brush away with death.

At the same time, the 20mm anti-aircraft gun and the 114mm naval gun continued to shoot, smoke rose from the muzzle, and the shells flew towards the direction of the flying fish missile, hoping to successfully destroy the missile. Terrible missiles.

However, under electromagnetic interference, the artillery sighting radar cannot work, and the optical sighting system alone cannot keep up with the opponent's missiles! Because, in the final flight, the Exocet missile has already started a snake-like maneuver!

Fortunately, an Exocet missile flew over the side of the Coventry and fell into the sea. However, before they breathed a sigh of relief, the second Exocet missile accurately hit the Coventry!

The warhead of the missile did not explode, but the remaining fuel caused a fire. The officers and soldiers of the Coventry were struggling to rescue them, not wanting their warship to end up like the Shelfield.

This sea and air battle has just begun!

Nearly twenty Exocet missiles flew towards the British aircraft carrier formation, and their pre-locked target was the aircraft carrier with the largest radar reflection area! As long as the British flagship is killed, the British navy will no longer have strength!

The British are obviously aware of this, their aircraft carrier is surrounded in the middle, and even the transport ship is used to block missiles!

On the right side of the Invincible is a merchant ship with the same displacement of tens of thousands of tons, the Atlantic Transporter. (To be continued.)
