Chapter 793 The Roar of the Shilka River

Damn, how could these powerful weapons end up in the hands of the Argentines?

The wingman behind him had no time to think about these things. Just as he casually dropped the bomb and prepared to turn and escape, his body also felt the same tremor.

The roaring Shilka River constantly turned American carrier-based aircraft in the sky into fireballs. Without using advanced surface-to-air missiles or other weapons, only quadruple-mounted self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were able to cripple the American attack aircraft!

In the battle between ground anti-aircraft firepower and fighter planes, fighter planes generally have the advantage. After all, fighter planes can attack from certain directions at will with their high mobility, and air-to-ground weapons are also diverse. However, anti-aircraft guns are not useless. The Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is such a fierce weapon! Even in the later Gulf War, the coalition pilots did not dare to fly too low in places where Iraqi self-propelled anti-aircraft guns appeared.

And now, they launched a surprise attack on the Americans. They had no idea that there were such powerful guys on the ground. Moreover, they were all attack planes loaded with bombs and had no maneuverability at all!

There was a lot of noise on the radio. The sacrifice of the first few fighters brought opportunities to the ones behind. The pilots behind threw away their bombs and climbed urgently. Even if the A-7 attack aircraft had boron carbide armor, it could not withstand the attack of 23mm high-explosive incendiary bombs!

The pilots who escaped death were still in fear, but they no longer had the ability to attack because all their bombs had been thrown away!

The Tomcat fighter plane cruising at high altitude is only an air superiority fighter plane. Ground attack? They don't have such capability. Moreover, the expensive Tomcat fighter plane can't perform such mission!

The first attack was a failure! When the screams came from the radio, the faces of the American naval personnel in the bridge were extremely serious.

This was a carefully planned ambush! The Argentines had set up self-propelled anti-aircraft guns near important targets in advance, and when their attack aircraft entered from ultra-low altitude, they were hit!

Colonel Harold looked very unhappy. The Americans had arranged this attack in a hurry, so they did not send officers with higher ranks. Colonel Harold was the commander of the entire formation and also the planner of the entire action plan. And now, the US Naval Aviation Force had suffered considerable losses!

The order to return has been issued. Colonel Harold stood on the bridge, looking at his own aircraft carrier. On the empty deck, the operators were also looking forward to the return of the carrier-based aircraft.

Half an hour later, finally, a roar was heard in the distant sky, and the A-7 fleet appeared!

Aiming at the narrow landing area on the deck, the A-7 attack aircraft landed easily with the help of the Fresnel landing aid system. This aircraft, which is not very fast, has excellent take-off and landing performance.

However, when the fighter plane stopped after hooking the arresting cable and the hatch was opened, the pilot inside had a look of confusion and frustration on his face.

He failed and hastily dropped all his bombs and flew back. This was a real shame for an attack aircraft pilot!

Closing his eyes and waiting for the crew on the deck to drag the fighter plane to the hangar, the pilot seemed to reappear the scene a few hours ago. His leader almost exploded in his sight! And the ferocious monster-like anti-aircraft gun on the ground brought him a deep fear.

Until now, the pilot has not been able to escape from the nightmare. When the fighter plane was first towed to the parking area and then he came down the gangway, the pilot did not go to rest. He stayed on the deck and watched the subsequent fighter planes return.

One, two, three... There were a total of thirty A-7 attack planes when they attacked, but now, only fifteen have returned! The rest of them may not be able to come back! The fierce anti-aircraft guns will explode instantly once they are hit!

The crew on the deck were also waiting and waiting, until a wobbly A-7 attack aircraft appeared in their field of vision!

One third of the plane's wing was shot off! Apparently, it was a vicious anti-aircraft shell that hit its wing, but it was still flying firmly!

Pilot Tom was trying hard to operate the plane. His eyes were already blurry, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his cabin was full of blood.

A 23mm shell tore through the armor protection of the cockpit and penetrated into his thigh. At that time, he thought he was going to die, but he still relied on his strong will to drive the plane back!

"Redwood, parachute, Redwood, parachute!" The voice of Thomas, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing on the bridge, came through the headset. He had learned about Tom's condition from the radio. At this time, it was quite dangerous to land the plane. The US Navy could afford the loss of an aircraft, but the loss of a pilot was not worth it.

Skydiving? Tom, whose radio code name was Redwood, looked down and saw blood everywhere. His legs were no longer under his control. If he skydived directly, one of his legs would be cut off when the seat ejected!

If I lose a leg, what's the point of living?

Tom gritted his teeth and said, "Redwood trees can land!"

He tried hard to open his eyes, looked at the signal light on the optical landing aid device, and heard the guide's voice in the headset.

"Lower your altitude! Lower your altitude again! Adjust your posture!"

"Right, right, we're off the landing path!"

"Damn it, pull it up, pull it up!"

The A-7 attack plane was about to land, but the angle of elevation was too great. If it fell directly from the deck, it would be bounced off!

Unfortunately, just as this sentence fell, the deck crew saw the A-7 attack aircraft shaking, and the left landing gear touched the deck first, and then it was violently bounced up! The fuselage tilted to the right, and the right wing directly touched the deck! A spark was drawn in its direction, and the deck crew scattered in surprise.

The plane was out of control! After sliding forward for more than 20 meters, the right wing finally broke off! The A-7 attack instantly turned upside down! Then, it continued to slide to the side.

Only one meter away from the fighter plane parked nearby, the A-7 opened its mouth helplessly, turned upside down, and fell into the sea!

Fortunately, no damage was done to the rest of the deck!
