Jose was paddling quickly on an assault boat. His boat reached the shore first, and then he waded through the cool water and rushed up to the shore.
The scene was very lively, but unfortunately, there were no spectators or opponents, and those few British soldiers had already run away.
After landing, according to the original plan, the Marine Corps quickly captured the dock and airport.
The two teams that landed quietly before had already made preparations and killed a few guards in the airport. Then, the tanks came up and the airport was easily captured.
After the marines occupied the pier and the airport, they did not continue to advance, but guarded the airport tightly.
An hour later, amidst the huge roar, seven C-130 transport planes landed one by one, bringing in a support force of more than 3000 people and carrying a large number of heavy weapons.
In this way, the number of Argentine soldiers who captured the Falkland Islands increased to more than 4000, while the British defenders on the island only had a few hundred people. Many of them held rifles, but all of them had live ammunition in their arsenals.
This was a very easy battle, so easy that there was no suspense, no vigorous events happened, and no touching scenes. The British governor led his soldiers and surrendered decisively!
Jose stood on the land of the Malvinas Islands, looking at the seagulls in the sky in the distance, feeling extremely calm, and history will remember this moment!The great revival of Argentina is just around the corner!
At the same time, the 60th Amphibious Task Force was also on its way to South George Island. They consisted of a frigate and a supply ship carrying two platoons of soldiers to deal with the island with only 1 people. One can imagine.
When the news came back to Argentina, Galtieri was very happy and immediately ordered Brigadier Menendez to be the military commander of the Falklands, responsible for the defense of the Falklands. At the same time, various military materials were urgently transported to the Falklands.
And the new administrative organization of the Falkland Islands was established immediately.
All television programs and all radio programs in Argentina were immediately stopped, and the exciting news was broadcast: Fellow compatriots, Britain has occupied our country's Malvinas Islands for more than 100 years. Today, in our great Under the wise leadership of the leader, General Galtieri, President of Argentina, our Malvinas Islands have finally returned to the embrace of our motherland again!
Immediately, this shocking news spread throughout the country and around the world.
Argentina is boiling.
All kinds of contradictions caused by domestic inflation, rising prices, and falling employment rate have all been thrown aside at this moment. In the eyes of the Argentine people, the president who always wears military uniform is so tall at this moment. Argentina needs such a president!
On this day, the whole country is boiling.In Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, tens of thousands of people gathered in the "May Square" in front of the Presidential Palace, singing the national anthem, shouting slogans, and celebrating the victory.More than a dozen political parties across the country have unanimously expressed their support for the government's actions.President Galtieri's prestige reaches peak
Galtieri pushed open the window, looked at the cheering crowd outside, and felt a sense of euphoria in his heart. This war allowed him to successfully get rid of the antipathy of the people some time ago. Now, which Argentine is not full of admiration for him?This is the country he leads!Argentina just needs a strong government!
"President, we have to hurry up and prevent the British from coming from overseas, especially their nuclear submarines. We lack the means of confrontation." Lombardo reminded.
"Don't worry, seeing our fierce offensive, do the British dare to come? Look at the British army on the island. They didn't even have the courage to resist directly. They chose to surrender. The British are cowards. We don't have to worry at all. "Galtieri said that in his plan, the next step is that the British should go to the United Nations to file a complaint. With the backing of the United States backing him, he doesn't need to be afraid at all.
Lombardo was not at ease. Although the British had fallen, they were much stronger than their own side, especially the opponent's attacking nuclear submarine, and their own anti-submarine means were too backward.
Originally, the eyes of the whole world were still on the Middle East, known as the gunpowder barrel. The international news of various countries mainly reported the progress of the Iran-Iraq War. However, on this day, all newspapers and all TVs An event that shocked the world was being broadcast: Argentina used force to occupy the Malvinas Islands!
For a time, the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean became the focus of global attention.
Everyone is tired of hearing about the Iran-Iraq War, but this is a new military war!
Zhang Feng also got this news, which made him feel a little comforted, but also a little anxious.
Because Zhang Feng's time travel is like a butterfly effect, it will change the history of the world. If that is the case, many of his military history knowledge of later generations will not be useful, and deviations will occur. The island war happened at the same time as the historical records, which proves that his crossing has not affected that much. Then, if the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which he is more worried about, starts on time, it will make him more confident.
On the other hand, the Falklands War broke out, but he only had one Exocet missile in his hand, how could he make money?
It seems that I have to bow my head to the old woman from the French Aerospace Corporation, and let the Exocet missiles be delivered to me as soon as possible. Otherwise, in another month, France will suspend the sale of the Exocet missiles out of face, and no one will be able to recover. up.
Chapter 334 Reinforcement of Port Khomeini
Chapter 334 Reinforcement of Port Khomeini
"General, we must dispatch troops immediately to support Port Khomeini!" the adjutant said.
Hashmian frowned: "It's not that we don't want to support, but our army should not act rashly before we understand the Iraqi army's intentions. Otherwise, if we support in the past, Ahvaz will be empty of troops. What are we going to do here if the Iraqis take advantage of it?"
"General, with such a large-scale attack by the Iraqis, the main direction of their attack is Khomeini Port, which is our largest port in the southwest. If this port falls, our economy will suffer a lot. It is definitely not something we can afford. Yes." The adjutant said: "And this place is still far away from the main force of the Iraqis. As long as we keep a close watch, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Port Khomeini is important, and so is this place. If it is lost, our north-south traffic arteries will be cut off, and it is definitely not something we can afford." Hashmian said.
Everyone was speechless. In fact, they also knew it. However, they knew better that Ahvaz was lost and could be regained. If Khomeini Port was lost, they might not even have a chance to regain it, and they would be thrown into prison. That is a port named after a great spiritual leader, and it would be a great insult to the leader if it was taken away by the Iraqis.
The symbolic significance of that port is far greater than its actual significance.
Everyone knows it well, but, want to persuade the stubborn Hashmirian to agree?Everyone sweated in their hearts.
"Report." Suddenly, the voice of the telegraph soldier came from outside.
"Come in."
"A call from the rear. The 65th Armored Brigade stationed in Dizful has already set off quickly. I hope we can provide them with supplies so that they can complete their mission to rescue Port Khomeini."
Didz Fuller?Hashemian asked: "Who gave them the mission? They are the Iraqi army that will face Amara. They are the strategic reserve team. Who asked them to go to rescue Port Khomeini?"
Haziful is in the north of Ahwaz. Although there is no fighting there yet, it is becoming more and more obvious that the Iraqi army is preparing to fully bloom on the border. Therefore, they undertake heavy tasks, and even if they fire quickly It will take two or three days to arrive for help, so what's the use?
"It wasn't mentioned in the call, but being able to mobilize this force must be the highest meaning." The telegraph soldier said.
Hashmian was silent. He knew that even though Khomeini handed over this army to him, he didn't trust him completely. Otherwise, how could he let a shameless person like Tah investigate him?
But now, Khomeini did not order his army to set off, but transferred troops stationed elsewhere from hundreds of miles away. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.If he doesn't send troops to rescue himself, it means that he must have another heart!
But, can you send troops by yourself?He has become more and more convinced that Iraq's dazzling layout this time must have a deeper purpose. Going out to rescue rashly may not help the matter. If you don't pay attention, you will be ambushed by the other party.
However, if he does not send troops, then when the 65th Armored Brigade comes here and asks for supplies for them, I am afraid that the commander of his own will have reached his end.
Until now, the reason why the air base was attacked by the opponent is still under investigation. Various evidences show that Iraq has a new electronic jamming method, which successfully interferes with the radar of the air base, causing the base to be bombed without any precautions. , suffered heavy damage.
Will they use the same means to deal with Khomeini Port?
After several deployments, the armored forces guarding Khomeini Port had only a dozen or so tanks left. They were simply unable to deal with the torrent of steel in Iraq. The Battalion's Cobra gunships are stationed there.
After repeated consideration, Hashmian finally made up his mind: the defenders of Ahvaz, all the assault forces, including more than 100 tanks, more than 2000 armored vehicles, plus more than 65 off-road trucks, transported half of the army , [-] people, wait until the [-]th Armored Brigade arrives, and go to support Port Khomeini together!
At the same time, let the armed helicopter unit in Port Khomeini set out to stop the Iraqi army's journey, and try to delay the arrival of reinforcements as much as possible.
If you really want to attack Khomeini Port, you need to cooperate with the air and ground. Under the current situation, it is not a good opportunity to attack Khomeini Port!Zhang Feng looked at the large-scale map. So far, the first stage of Operation Chunlei has been completed.
First of all, concentrate all the air force advantages, and kill the Iranian air force in Ahvaz, which is the most threatening to you, at once. In this way, in a short period of time, there is almost no need to consider the threat of the Iranian Air Force. A transport plane from Iran, that is a windfall.
Then, while protecting itself, the 35th Armored Division began to attack the city and conquer the territory in a grand manner, and marched towards Port Khomeini.
Mistakes can happen anywhere, but Port Khomeini can't!
Therefore, the defenders of Ahvaz will definitely dispatch troops to provide assistance, so they set up an ambush halfway to kill his reinforcements. This task is carried out by the Tenth Armored Division.
And now, the intelligence personnel ambushing in Ahvaz have sent back the news that the Iranian army is indeed showing signs of a large-scale dispatch, and, even further north in Dizful, there is also a tank unit dispatched!
Surrounding the spot to fight for aid is a tactic invented by the great squadron during the Anti-Japanese War, and now it has been learned and used by Zhang Feng.
However, Zhang Feng still has a plan.
