Chapter 1168: On War

"The second point is that your battle plan did not predict the British military's combat methods enough, and did not pay attention to the core problem, in fact, the opponent made preparations in two aspects, and the rhythm of the whole war was completely different from the first time. In order to win this war, the Argentine government is constantly expanding its army and purchasing sophisticated weapons. ”

"Through the monitoring of drones, military spy satellites and agents, the British military is not doing nothing on the Falklands, waiting for you to start an attack, but secretly preparing for a counterattack. Although the specific battle plan is not very clear, I know what the main points of the other side are. ”

"The British government has arranged a number of mobile early warning radars at many locations, which are the eyes used to reconnoiter airborne operations, and Argentina will definitely take two ways: airborne and seaborne to send troops to the Falklands, the planes must be mainly helicopters, there is no airfield for transport planes to land, the speed of warships is too slow, and the targets are most likely to be exposed.

"There is no doubt about what to do after the reconnaissance, anti-landing operations and anti-ship operations, the British army must have arranged for highly mobile troops to be deployed at many points on the island to wait for the Argentine troops to land, and these troops are equipped with portable anti-aircraft missiles and mobile anti-aircraft missile launchers, which cross to form an anti-aircraft fire network."

"The navy will also arrange ground-based anti-aircraft missiles, air-launched anti-ship missiles, and ship-borne anti-ship missiles at possible landing sites, which will pose a great threat to warships carrying out landing operations, and we must not forget that Britain's nuclear submarines are also very combat-effective."

"In terms of the air force, Britain will build a number of temporary military airfields, send fighter jets to respond to landings, and also launch air strikes against Argentina to suppress the firepower of the landing force, etc., and the intelligence service has confirmed this."

"Moreover, Britain will inevitably send elite troops to fight a night raid, just like last time, they think that the modern equipment is much more technical than Argentina, including special forces, and the paratroopers of the other side are not vegetarians."

"Your plan is a bit taken for granted, taking the landing operation too lightly, and not reflecting the other side's taking these measures, how should you deal with it, don't think that the Falklands can be taken casually, war is not a game, and the slightest mistake will make hundreds of soldiers shed blood and sacrifice."

"If modern warfare is all about this way of fighting, it is not progress but regression, I do not approve this plan, re-design the combat plan and the alternate combat plan according to my requirements, and I will come again at the end of the year." Wu Chen said.

Don't look at the only two points he asked, it sounds very simple, but it overturns all the plans carefully studied by the Argentine Ministry of Defense and the expert group!

The Argentine Navy's operational thinking is to strike first against the British naval fleet, which involves the tripartite cooperation of warships, nuclear submarines, and fighter planes, and carrier-based aircraft need to meet the opponent's carrier-based aircraft, destroyers must play the functions of air defense and anti-ship, and nuclear submarines must carry out a double strike of anti-ship missiles and torpedoes.

For example, the US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles equipped by the British Navy have a maximum range of 300 kilometers, while the former Soviet Granite anti-ship missiles equipped with the Argentine Navy have a maximum range of 500 kilometers.

Speaking of heavy torpedoes, British nuclear submarines are equipped with Sailfish thermodynamic torpedoes, which are nearly six meters long, have a maximum speed of 70 knots, a low-speed range of 40 kilometers, a charge of more than 240 kilograms, and a total fish weight of more than 1,800 kilograms, making them the fastest and heaviest torpedoes in the world.

The Argentine nuclear submarine is equipped with the American MK48 torpedo, which is also nearly six meters long, has a diameter of 533 millimeters, weighs more than 1,500 kilograms, has a speed of 55 knots, has a range of 46 kilometers, and has a charge of 150 kilograms.

In terms of performance and attack power, the British Sailfish thermodynamic torpedo is obviously better than the MK48 heavy torpedo, with a high range and more charge, but the accuracy and reliability are much worse than the MK48, the system of the Sailfish thermodynamic torpedo is too complex, and the science and technology are far less advanced than the United States.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to infiltrate, adopt a small force to land first, encircle and annihilate the air defense force, and open up an attack channel, and then the helicopter will transport the troops to the Falklands battlefield under the protection of helicopter gunships.

The Argentine Army is equipped with 20 Licorn-1 heavy transport helicopters, which can transport 2,000 troops at a time, and can reach the Falklands in two hours, and in addition, this heavy transport helicopter can transport two armored transport vehicles at a time, or transfer 20 tons of cargo, such as towed artillery and other large weapons, without any problems.

Once the mechanized troops gained a foothold on the ground, the British army would be exposed to the enemy on its back and would inevitably disperse its forces for defense, and the fighters and strategic bombers of the air force would have to carry out saturation bombing of the British positions in the harbor to protect the naval fleet's approach, and the main guns of the battleships could turn the British positions upside down in an instant.

The next thing for the expert group and the Argentine Ministry of Defense is to formulate a detailed plan according to this goal, which unit is responsible for infiltration, which unit is responsible for landing, the delivery of weapons and equipment and ammunition, the transportation of fuel and daily necessities, battlefield treatment, and so on.

"Mr. Wu Chen, in order to ensure the absolute victory of this Falklands War, the Argentine government, after careful consideration, requested the mercenary corps to secretly send combat troops to assist the Argentine army in attacking the Falklands, especially the special forces, which is the key to the war."

"And your special forces are strong in combat and have rich experience in actual combat, and they can completely suppress the attack of the British special forces, and the two of us are strategic partners, please help us recover our territory, and you will definitely be satisfied with the remuneration." The president spoke.
