The reason why I think of Argent submarines when I see the submarine logo on the map is because I remember that at the beginning of this battle, an Argentine submarine was sunk by the British fleet, and it was attached to this South Georgia Island.
.
This is actually very easy to understand. At this time, the British army had just captured the South Georgia Island stationed by Argentina... It was not too difficult to capture this island, because there were only more than 150 soldiers in Argentina who were stationed here, and there was still no one.
Any reinforcements were lonely, so the British army simply sent two companies to easily take South Georgia Island at the cost of zero casualties under the cover of warships and aircraft.
This is not because Argentina thinks that the island is not important. In fact, they also know that the British special-mix fleet on the expedition must have a place as an outpost... Those who come with the fleet are filled with military supplies.
It is impossible for warships to fight with warships and aircraft carriers. In addition, this war can not be expected to end in just a few days or weeks, so these supply ships must unload the supply and return again.
Only in this way can the supply be continuously transported from the UK to the Argentine battlefield.
But the problem is that Argentina knows that this South Georgia is important but unable to defend.
One reason is that their military strength is insufficient. Most of Argentina's submarines, warships and fighter jets are purchased after being retired for decades in service in other countries. For example, the only aircraft carrier currently in service in Argentina, "May 25".
It was the respectable British voyage from World War II, which was later sold to the Netherlands, and then to Argentina... So it evolved into the hostile state of several British aircraft carriers at sea, which is also an irony for Britain.
Therefore, the situation in Argentina is that its weapons and equipment are not as good as the British special-mix fleet in terms of quality and quantity.
Then it is obvious that Argentina has no ability to defend both the Cavaliers and South Georgia at the same time. The result of this is to give the British fleet a chance to defeat them one by one.
Another reason is that South Georgia is far away from Argentina.
South Georgia Island is 1,300 kilometers away from the Cambridge Island. The Cambridge Island is 500 kilometers away from Argentina, which means South Georgia Island is about 1,800 kilometers away from Argentina.
At such a long distance, and the ocean along the way, the Argentine air force could not fly over this small island at all. In other words, this South Georgia island was destined to be a dish on the British special fleet table from the very beginning.
This is also the reason why the Argentine army has only more than 100 soldiers stationed on this island... They just symbolically threw a force here to show the world that this island belongs to Argentina.
I think if Argentina had a way to sink this South Georgia island, then they would never let this island with a total area of more than 3,700 square kilometers exist in this world. The reason is that this island has a name called
The "Ritvignon" port is a "freeze port" that can be used throughout the year, which is tantamount to giving the British an excellent condition to attack the Cavaliers.
It is precisely because of this port. And only this port, so Argentina is a little unwilling to accept this. Or they want to obtain some British supplies or ship data or intelligence, so they did so in the early stage.
Several submarines were sent to reconnaissance near Port Ritviken on South Georgia.
So in history, several British helicopters combined with several warships to sink an Argentine submarine.
"Major Will!" I shouted to Major Will, who was sitting next to the fire to keep warm. This may be the habit of the British. No matter where he settles down, he likes to make a fire to roast it.
Once baked.
I didn't plan to say anything tonight, but starting from tomorrow night, it will no longer be allowed. The reason is simple. Fire is deadly for guerrilla warfare, and it will clearly tell the enemy where the target is.
"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will handed me a cup of coffee and said, "Try our British coffee!"
"Thank you!" I was always focused on the map. I picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"It tastes good!" I said.
"This..." Major Will looked at me with some surprise: "Have Comrade Battalion Commander had coffee before?"
"What?" I looked up and saw the strange expressions on Major Will and Lin Xia's faces, and then I soon discovered what the problem was.
I just drank coffee... If this thing is in modern times, it might be just a very ordinary thing. But for Chinese people in this era, I have never even heard of the name "coffee".
On the other hand, people who have never drunk coffee will feel uncomfortable with the taste of coffee at the beginning, but I can drink it as if nothing happened while praising it, "It tastes good". No wonder Major Will and Lin Xia use it so strangely.
His expression looked at me.
"Oh!" I quickly replied, "I have indeed drunk it a few times, but I couldn't drink it at first, but I quickly fell in love with this fragrance when I drank it a few more times!"
"You disappointed me!" Major Will smiled and said, "I originally wanted to see your frowning expression. Look, I even asked my assistant to prepare the camera..."
When I looked at Major Will, I saw a British soldier holding the camera in his hand. It was obvious that he wanted to capture the scene at the moment when I made a fool of myself, but it disappointed them.
"It's okay!" I said, "We can do it again!"
As I said that, I raised my coffee again and took a sip, then made a very exaggerated expression and frowned, "Oh...oh my god! What is this?!"
My expression and movement only made the British soldiers around me laugh, including Major Will.
"You are so humorous, Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will said with a smile: "I think we should have a great time working with you!"
"I hope so!" I replied, but thought in my heart that this kind of cooperation might end in a few days... I don't want to continue to stay on this broken island and accompany the ice and snow. I want to participate in the British Sea.
Going in the air battle.
"Major Will!" I paused and pointed to several submarine markers on the map and said, "Does these markers refer to the activities of Argentine submarines on the sea?"
"Yes!" Major Will nodded: "This is one of the reasons why we have not launched an attack on the island of Mahara. For safety, our fleet has temporarily returned to the deep sea to avoid the lack of submarine attacks in narrow waters.
Space. In this regard, we lack sufficient intelligence, that is, we do not know the number and model of Argentine submarines, but we are already actively collecting them. Once we confirm that the insufficient submarines of Argentine relocated pose a threat to our fleet, we will
Give these Argentinians a good look!”
"Oh!" I nodded.
Regarding the collection of intelligence, I absolutely believe that Britain has an advantage in this regard. To be precise, it is not Britain's advantage, but Britain has a more important position and diplomacy in the international arena compared to Argentina.
This seems to have little to do with military affairs in normal times, but it can often produce some unexpected results when fighting wars.
For example, the diplomacy between Britain and the United States... made the United States even launch spy satellites for Britain to provide precise intelligence for Britain; for example, France, the supply of advanced fighter jets and missiles that were originally to be sold to Argentina was immediately stopped;
There is also Chile, which is next to Argentina, and the two countries have a long border line. The territory of these two countries is somewhat like two long snakes entangled together. It provides intelligence to the United Kingdom unconditionally
, that's like a tiger's wings.
"So..." I then asked, "Do we have a record of sinking Argentine submarines?"
"Sadly, although we have sent an anti-submarine team to search, we have not found it yet!"
"Oh!" I felt relieved when Major Will said this.
You know, I plan to use this submarine that will appear near South Georgia as a springboard. If this incident has happened, then I obviously can't make any difference, but fortunately this
Nothing happened.
"Why did Comrade Battalion Commander ask this?" Major Will had a little puzzled look on his face.
"Oh, nothing!" I replied: "I just saw that there was only one port to use in South Georgia, so I was worried that it would be blocked by Argentine submarines!"
"Comrade Battalion Commander can rest assured about this!" Major Will laughed: "We have many anti-submarine helicopters and six submarines, five of which are much more advanced nuclear submarines than Argentina. Protecting the safety of the port is not
What a difficult thing!"
"Then I'll feel relieved!" I said.
"So..." Major Will said unexpectedly: "Comrade Battalion Commander also has some understanding of naval warfare?"
"I don't know much!" I said: "You know too. Those of us who command wars like to look at some previous battle examples and conduct in-depth analysis and research. Although this naval battle is different from land battles, many tactics are
It can be portable."
"Yes!" Major Will nodded and said, "I misunderstood so. I have always thought that the battalion commander could only fight land wars!"
"You can think so!" I replied: "Because I have never commanded a naval battle!"
This is the truth. It is the first time I even saw the sea after coming to this world, let alone the sea battle.
"As for tomorrow's training!" I said, "I suddenly changed my mind. I plan to start training with the swimming cannon. What do the major think?"
"Swimming cannon?" Major Will was puzzled.
"It is to use mortars to fight guerrilla warfare!" I said: "The mortars have a long range and have great lethality. The biggest advantage is that they have a short launch time and can be transferred immediately after fighting. They are an excellent weapon for fighting guerrilla warfare.
But…if that’s the case, we need a lot of mortars!”
"This is not a problem!" Major Will agreed without thinking: "I'll make arrangements right away!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
