Babylonian Empire

The British Parliament voted unanimously for the first time since the Second World War to recover the Falkland Islands by force. Mrs. Thatcher passed the screening and overcame all opinions and appointed Rear Admiral Woodward as the commander of the task force. He was 49 years old at the time, graduated from the Naval Academy, served as the captain of a submarine, the captain of a destroyer, and the director of the Naval Operations Planning Department of the Ministry of National Defense. He was alert and decisive, known as the "Sea Wolf".

On April 4, the British army formed a task force with two aircraft carriers "Hermes" and "Invincible" as the core, 5 warships, 37 "Harrier" fighter jets, 20 helicopters, and 58 marines. The first echelon was completed and set sail from Portsmouth and Gibraltar.Embarked on a journey of 3500 kilometers.

The four nuclear submarines cruising in the Atlantic Ocean also received orders to rush to the Falklands at full speed.They were the first to reach the Falklands.

The long-distance journey requires strong logistical support, and the army alone is not enough. The British army requisitioned civilian ships in wartime as the logistical support force for the fleet, and at the same time quickly refitted the requisitioned civilian ships as needed. The passenger ships "Queen Elizabeth II" and "Canberra" were converted into troop carriers, the ro-ro ships "Atlantic Carrier" and "Atlantic Causeway" were converted into aircraft carriers, and the passenger ship "Uganda" was converted into hospital ship.

在4月26日，由23艘军舰、20架飞机、2000名陆军组成第二梯队从波特兰启航。

One side is aggressive and not far away, while the other side is waiting for work with ease. Who can win?The eyes of all military strategists in the world are focused here, and they have different opinions.

However, in the Middle East, where they were tired of seeing, a person already knew the consequences.

Argentina must lose, unless, they have more Exocet missiles!

A person who can predict the future has a great advantage!

Chapter 336 Armored Troops Advance

Chapter 336 Armored Troops Advance

Defend Port Khomeini!The Iraqis must not be allowed to defile the port city named after the great leader!The strength of half of the Iranian infantry division guarding Khomeini Port is ready to fight to the death. If the Iraqis come, this is the second Khorramshahr!

At the same time, the Iranian helicopter unit stationed here is making intense preparations for departure.

Armed helicopters can deal with the opponent's armored clusters and buy enough time for the arrival of reinforcements from one's own side.

Although there is a lack of airborne anti-tank missiles, there are still a lot of large-caliber rockets.

The reason why armed helicopters are the nemesis of tanks is because they fly above the tanks.

For a tank, it is impossible to make all the armors the same thickness, in that case, the weight will be greatly increased.Therefore, when it comes to the main armor of a tank, it refers to the front armor, while the side and rear armor is less.

The thinnest armor, on top of the tank.

Therefore, armed helicopters carry rockets, which are a powerful threat to the armored force on the ground. Moreover, helicopters have the advantage of good maneuverability. The anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the tank is used to deal with armed helicopters, which is a bit tasteless.

Even if you are killed in battle, even if you are shot down, you must stop the opponent's armored forces!

After the weapons were added and the inspection was completed, the armed helicopters took off in formation.

Due to the lack of parts for several of them, only ten of them were able to take off to meet the enemy.However, these ten helicopters, if they are lucky, can kill seventy or eighty tanks without any problem.

In this case, the opponent's fierce offensive will definitely be contained.

It's just that they didn't expect that what they faced this time was not Iraqi tanks, but armed helicopters!

Although the bombing formation had already returned, the aircraft could not take off immediately after landing. Maintenance, refueling, and bombing all took time. The Iraqi Air Force's dispatch efficiency was not very high.

Therefore, the task of fighting against the opponent's helicopter was handed over to one's own helicopter.

This time, Hariri's Falcon Squadron was at the forefront. Under the short wings on both sides of their Mi-24 Hinds, anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers were mounted.

There were also ten armed helicopters dispatched by Iraq.

The huge rotors of the Mi-24 helicopter were turning, stirring the air, and making a huge roar. Hariri's sharp eyes were searching for suspicious targets on the ground.

In the process of advancing just now, two of the opponent's cement fortifications were destroyed, and a few rockets were used. Now, there are still four on the short wings.

Suddenly, Shahid, the outermost wingman, shouted over the radio: "There is a flying object in the direction of twelve o'clock."

Hariri looked from the ground to the sky, and sure enough, he spotted several bright spots in the airspace ahead.

Judging from the flying speed and flying altitude, it is undoubtedly an Iranian helicopter.

After half a year, they formed up and finally met their opponents again, confronting the Iranian helicopters.

"Ready, launch our missiles," Hariri said.

After the last air battle with the Iranian Cobra gunships, they began to look for strategies and tactics against the opponent's helicopters. Now, since the two sides meet on a narrow road, let's fight!

Gradually, the field of vision became clear, and the silhouettes of the opponent's helicopters appeared in sight one by one. They were Iran's main force, the Cobra gunship!

"Lower altitude, ready to launch missiles," Hariri said.

The weapon operator had already prepared AT-2 anti-tank missiles under the wings. Following Hariri's order, smoke billowed under the short wings of each helicopter and fired missiles.

The best way to deal with the opponent's armed helicopters is to install infrared missiles for air combat on their own planes. However, this work is not something they can do. Therefore, another method is to use missile salvos. !

Each plane guides a missile at the same time to attack a helicopter of the other side.

In addition to Hariri's squadron, the other two squadrons also fired their own missiles.

Jabir operated the AT-2 launcher and kept aiming at the Cobra accurately. No matter how the opponent maneuvered, he couldn't let him leave the cross in the center of his circle.

The Iranian helicopters flying over fell into a panic. Their purpose of coming this time was to destroy the opponent's armor force. Therefore, their attention was on the ground. Unexpectedly, a group of opponent's helicopters flew from the low sky!

What's more terrible is that they don't have any means to fight against the opponent's helicopter. They are all equipped with uncontrolled rockets. It is simply impossible to let these rockets shoot into the air and expect to hit the opponent's target.The odds are lower than a stone falling from the sky and hitting one's own head.

Immediately, the other party actually launched missiles, more than one, and they naturally knew what that meant.

"Maneuver and evade." The Iranian formation leader ordered.

Compared with the Hind, the Cobra is a dedicated armed helicopter, and it does not carry an infantry personnel compartment. It is smaller and more flexible.

Cobra began to snake maneuver, ready to avoid the opponent's missiles.

The formation of the formation was disrupted in an instant.

A few missiles lost their targets, and a few missiles successfully hit. Immediately, a few beautiful sparks bloomed in the sky.

"Two planes against one of the other, the wingman closely followed the lead plane, and launched an attack with missiles at any time." Hariri said.In many cases, they copied the tactics of air combat from the Air Force.

Immediately, the ten helicopters were divided into five two-plane formations, and fought together with each other.

Sometimes, due to the close distance between the two sides, missiles cannot be used, and the two sides also use machine guns to shoot at each other, and even launch uncontrolled rockets at each other. The scene is very spectacular.

If it is normal, the Iranian helicopter formation will definitely choose to retreat. They do not have a strong means of confronting the opponent's helicopters.

But now, it can't be done, they have to move forward, and only by breaking through this helicopter formation can they hope to stop the opponent's armored soldiers from attacking.

One Cobra, in order to cover its own side, even chose the most tragic way of colliding with the opponent's helicopter.

Blood stained the sky.

Finally, two cobras rushed past the doe's siege. Moving forward, they saw the armored group on the dark ground in the distance.
