※The news that the attack on Agen led to the bombing of the port. Pei Chengyigu contacted Yang Shaoxi and Mu to find out the losses.

The information sent by the Military Intelligence Agency was very limited, only mentioning that the RAF's Tun aircraft group deployed by the Royal Air Force on Ascension Island bombed the Argentine Port on the Ma Island after a single air-plus. The heavy fighter jets entered in three batches. They threw multiple air-launched cruise missiles at multiple targets, including the Aviation Control Center. They evacuated before the Argentine Air Force's air defense fighter jets arrived. There was no important information such as how many targets were bombed and how much losses the Argentine army suffered. Therefore, Pei Chengyi had to contact Yang Shaoyong and let the army major spend more effort.

Shortly after dawn, Yang Shaoyong sent back the report

The bombing range is not wide, mainly concentrated on the airport. The aviation control center was hit by several missiles and was completely blown up. Fortunately, the Hua'an army led by Run Ruilin had left the airport, without any casualties. The Argentine army stationed at the airport was not so lucky. More than four casualties were killed and soldiers, and the airport was paralyzed. In other words, before resuming aviation command capabilities, Argentina could not continue to use civil aviation aircraft to transport combat personnel and materials to the island. According to the conclusions obtained by Yang Shaoyong on-site inspection, it would take at least several days to repair the aviation control center. Although there were still several other places that were bombed. For example, the AFC barracks, the material storage center next to the airport, the aviation maintenance point, and the AFC gathering place in the direction of the port, the purpose of this round of bombing operation of the Royal Air Force was very clear, that is, paralyzing the AFC's air supply line.

Is air supply lines important?

It is indeed very important. At least before opening the sea supply line, the air supply line has an irreplaceable role.

Although the Argentine army and the British army are still competing for ports and neither side has an absolute advantage, the Argentine army has used air-carrying reinforcements to control most of the urban areas of the Argentine Port. In other words, the Argentine army is already an "occupiercing force", so it has to provide the most basic living security to civilians affected by the war. Although the permanent residents of Mawu are less than 1,000, and one-third of them will leave before winter comes, if the Argentine authorities want to control the island of Maji, they must obtain the support of these people to ensure their interests. More importantly, 80% of the permanent residents are in the Argentine Port. In other words, after occupying the Argentine Port, the Argentine army must solve the living problems of nearly 10,000 people.

This is indeed a big problem.

According to the most basic demand, the old ten thousand people need about tons of various daily necessities a day. Because the temperature has begun to drop, there are no large transport aircraft and no mobile power stations in Argentina, so the thermal power station on the island has to burn about thugs every day to stew fuel. Although the reserved fuel can be used until the beginning of the month, the Armenian army failed to seize the British military supplies warehouse in the port area as they wish, so they could only transport necessary daily necessities to the island by air transport. In fact, the air transport supply speed is far from meeting the demand, because

Only about stewed supplies can be transported every day, while the residents of Atzowing Port and the Argentine Army need at least ttons of ant supplies every day. The Argentine Army has reduced the quota to a minimum, and most residents have reserved some daily necessities for winter, so the contradiction of shortage of supplies has not yet emerged in the short term. For the Argentine Army, if the sea supply line cannot be opened as soon as possible, even if air transportation is restored, it will be difficult to ensure that all residents of Argentine Port can withstand the severe cold that comes at the beginning of the month. The interruption of air transportation will only make the situation of Argentine Army worse.

The RAF's purpose is so clear that its intentions are clearer at a glance.

The Argentina army will definitely not evacuate the port of Argentina, but will only find ways to solve the problem. There are only three ways to adopt: First, resume air freight as soon as possible to ensure the daily transportation of materials of tons of cylinders. Because air freight does not fail to meet the demand, and as the reserved fuel is consumed, the Argentina army must also ensure the supply of fuel stewed by the thugs every day, so the significance of restoring air freight is not great; second, attack the port of Argentina and seize the material warehouse controlled by the British army, because the British authorities have directly reserved according to the standard of ensuring normal consumption of at least 3 months.

For winter materials, as long as you occupy the material warehouse in the port area, you can solve the problem of material shortage to a large extent. The key is that the Argentine army has no ability to capture the port area at all. The British army may not necessarily let the material warehouse fall into the hands of the Argentine army; the third is to open up the sea supply line and allow transport ships loaded with materials to arrive at the port of Argentine. The fundamental solution is to solve the problem of material shortage. Because no method can completely solve the problem, or the risk is too great, the Argentine army will adopt a multi-pronged strategy and take action at the same time in a few kilograms.

Based on the actual situation, Chengyi has enough reason to believe that the British army's intention is to make the Ajun "panic" 0

In response to the choice of Argentina's army, the British army will definitely take tit-for-tat action. Air transport is not very meaningful. Before the task force arrives, the Royal Air Force will not be able to use its only thugs to intercept Argentina's civil aviation and aircraft. At most, it will only destroy Argentina's aviation control center after Argentina repairs the aviation control center. The Royal Marines will definitely defend the port area to fight for every position with Argentina, and try to kill the alpine forces of Argentina, even if they are defending.

If not, the Royal Marines will also blow up the material warehouse before surrendering, and will not let the material fall into the hands of the Argentine Army. The Royal Navy's submarines will definitely be deployed. As long as the Argentine Army cannot make breakthrough progress in the battle in the port area, and before the Royal Marines make an announcement, Argentina will have no choice but to let the transport fleet arrive at the Marine Island as soon as possible, thus choosing the shortest route. The Royal Navy's submarines need such a pound. Opportunity.

If you see the intentions of the British army, you cannot guess what the British army will do next.

In other words, the first day of the Wang Xianshuo Children's Day was to wash the 4-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the 3-depression of the

There is no doubt that the Argentine authorities have been in chaos.

After arranging the work for the staff, Pei Chengyi went to the Argentine Presidential Palace and explained the situation of the war to Theron in person.

"No, we underestimated the British's determination to fight," Pei Chengyi said with a reluctant smile. "A few days ago, we received reliable intelligence. The RAF strengthened the deployment of Ascension Island and transported a large number of ground service equipment there. More importantly, as early as the beginning of this year, the RAF deployed heavy fighter jets in Ascension Island. Although it was only a temporary deployment, this move proved that Ascension Island has the ability to support heavy fighter jets. Unfortunately, such important intelligence did not attract our attention, thus making us ignore the threat that was close to us."

"General Pei, what you mean is

"The Royal Air Force deploys ground service forces in Ascension Island to prepare for the deployment of heavy fighters." Li Chengyi smiled bitterly. His expression was very fast. "No matter what, such an important action should not be ignored by us. You must know that except for Ascension Island, the Royal Air Force fighters can only take off from the local area. There is no doubt that even advanced fighters cannot cross half of the earth and bomb targets tens of thousands of kilometers away. We have received information that the fighters bombing Mawu took off from Ascension Island. Our intelligence agency has long issued an alarm, but it has been deliberately ignored for some human reasons, so I think someone must take responsibility for this."

Pei Chengyi said this to this point. It was already very difficult. As long as Theron was not a fool, he could tell the meaning.

It is undeniable. As early as a few days ago, the MIIS reported the news that the RAF strengthened the basic maintenance force of Ascension Island to the Argentine intelligence agencies and the Argentine Air Force in accordance with the secret agreement between the two countries, and repeatedly warned that the RAF is likely to dispatch heavy fighter jets to bomb the Cavaliers when necessary. The problem is that the MIIS did not make it too clear, and even did not emphasize the inevitability of the RAF's bombing of the Cavaliers. Although no one denied that the RAF was in possession.

It has the ability to bomb the Horse Island, but in the eyes of most people, it is difficult for the Royal Air Force, which has only the heavy fighter jets, to pose a fatal threat to the Argentine army on the Horse Island. This is indeed the case. The Royal Air Force's bombing did not cause the Argentine army to suffer a crushing defeat. It is even more impossible to help the Royal Marines who are sticking to the Argentine port defeat their opponents. According to the convention of the Argentine army, such a thing will probably be left unresolved, but Pei Chengyi does not plan to sack it, but wants to "account"

Theron knew that Pei Chengyi emphasized this matter not to hold him accountable, but to seize power.

"I'll deal with this matter

"His Excellency the President, can't you teach enough at once? I will not know the seriousness of the problem until a greater disaster comes?"

Theron frowned slightly, and his expression became even hesitant.

"Almost everyone believes that the RAF bombing the port of Argentina is mostly to promote "imperialism, emotion, and has little practical significance. In fact, this is a carefully planned and purposeful bombing operation. If the news just received is not wrong, the RAF's bombing operation has achieved its goal."

"What does it mean?" Theron immediately became nervous.

"Before coming here, I contacted the island's liaison officer." Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although I don't think the best time to attack the port area now, your country's army has adjusted its combat plan and plans to concentrate its forces to attack the port area in a few hours."

"Occupying the port area as soon as possible will be of great help to the subsequent combat operations, even if there is no

"Your Excellency the President, don't you think it's not a coincidence?"

Theron's brow jumped a few times and signaled Pei Chengyi to continue.

"Everyone knows that if we can occupy the port area before the transport fleet arrives, it will save a lot of trouble, otherwise we will have to spend a lot of effort to transport supplies. That's why after successfully occupying the airport, the thugs have been attacking the port area, and the British Royal Marines are also desperately guarding the port area. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the port area will control the island of Cavaliers, and the victory or defeat of the war."

Theron breathed a lot and did not object to Pei Chengyi's views.

"We just announced the dispatch of a second self-destruction transport fleet, and the RAF bombed the airport. It was just a coincidence?" Pei Chengyi sneered and said, "We have enough intelligence to prove that the RAF had the ability to bomb the Horse Island two days ago. Although we also have reason to believe that the RAF needs time to plan before taking action, but there must be internal factors that go through coincidence."

"General Pei, what you mean is

“In my opinion, this is no coincidence at all.

Pei Chengyi paused for a moment, and waited for Theron to come back to his senses. Then he continued, "After the airport was bombed, we temporarily lost the ability to airlift materials to the Malay Island, and the material supply work must not be delayed. Even if it is interrupted for twenty-four hours, it will have unimaginable consequences. If it is interrupted for forty-eight hours, we may first consider how to suppress the mobs on the island and how to deal with angry international public opinion before the task force arrives. In other words, in addition to resuming airlifts as soon as possible, we

We have to find ways to ensure the supply of materials. If everything goes well, the fleet can only arrive at Marriott Island in three days, and within these three days, it must provide daily necessities for the garrison and permanent residents on the island. Although there are some solutions, such as the heartfelt supplies on the island, they are all dropping off the bucket and cannot be solved. As a result, the method of slaughtering is to seize the material warehouse in the port area. In other words, even if we do not regard the capture of the port area as our top priority, we will spare no effort to attack the port area after the airport is bombed."

"That is, the British army can adjust its defense deployment based on this."

"That's true, don't forget that the ground forces we invest are very limited, and the offensive forces lack the heavy equipment and artillery necessary for attack." Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "In my experience, in the absence of limited offensive means, as long as the defenders have enough ammunition, they can easily block more than ten times of the offensive forces. Unfortunately, the Royal Marines lack the least is ammunition. Imagine, if the ground troops boarding the Horse Island suffer heavy casualties and the fleet transporting reinforcements fails to arrive in time?"

Theron was secretly shocked. Even if he was not a soldier, he knew what would happen.

"We can say without hesitation that if this is the case, we lost the battle before the task force arrived."

"How can we avoid such gracious fruits?"

"If you see the problem clearly, everything will be easy." Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "In ground battles, unnecessary casualties must be minimized. Whether the port area can be captured does not matter. What is important is whether it can last until the reinforcements arrive. In terms of materials, you can consider replenishing a batch of necessary materials through airdrops, and then let the occupying army do a good job of ideological work to ensure that the residents must provide living materials after three days. There are two key points: one is that the transport fleet must arrive on time on the island of Mahara, and the other is to ensure air supremacy and prevent the same thing from happening again."

"Transporting materials is very important. As long as the fleet arrives on time, even if it is bombed again, it will not have much impact, right?"

"His Excellency the President, material conditions are only one of the key factors for victory. Without morale and fighting spirit, no matter how much material there is, it is impossible to defeat the enemy."

Theron frowned slightly, still not quite understanding what Pei Chengyi said.

"From our perspective, it is enough to be bombed. If it is bombed again, the morale of the officers and soldiers will definitely be affected, and it will even make some officers and soldiers doubt the final victory. The key is not us. It is the enemy. This bombing must have greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Royal Marines, making the British who are fighting stubbornly believe that they have not been abandoned. If the Royal Air Force bombs the airport again, the Royal Marines may even take more proactive actions to make the ground war situation more complicated. You must know that winter is about to arrive, and if you cannot wipe out the remnants before the snowstorm arrives, you can't wipe out the remnants before the arrival of the blizzard.

British Army. As the task force arrives, we have to fight on both sides. Although I do not doubt the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, no one wants to disperse the troops when we need to concentrate our strength against a powerful task force. More importantly, whether we can use the Cabernet Airport will have a crucial impact on the entire combat operation. If I were the commander of the Royal Air Force, I would have heavy fighter jets carrying anti-runway ammunition next time, with the main purpose of paralyzing the airport. As long as the airport is paralyzed, even if the subsequent combat operations are smooth, we will have to pay more for victory, and even pass by victory."

After hearing Pei Chengyi's words, Theron breathed a sigh of relief.

It was obvious that Pei Chengyi pointed his finger at Afangsuo.

"General Pei, I understand what you mean, but whether the fleet can arrive in time is the key, if"

"His Excellency President, I can guarantee that the thugs will definitely arrive at the Marriott Island in three days, but one prerequisite must be met.

“What are the prerequisites?”

"I need to use your air force's shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft without restrictions."

Theron frowned slightly and said, "I have granted the general the highest military decision-making power, and mobilizing shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft is also included. There is no need to propose it separately, right?"

"If this is true, there is really no need to raise it alone."

"This Theron hesitated for a moment and said, "I will send someone to the Air Force Command after I wait to assist you in dispatching the Air Force's combat forces."

"That would be better."

"General Pei's guarantee for the beginning"

"His Excellency President, do you think I am the kind of person who goes back on his word?" Pei Chengyi glanced at Theron and said, "I do what I say. This is what I must emphasize. If the island of Malaya is bombed again, no matter what, someone must take responsibility, otherwise no one can guarantee that your country can achieve the final victory."

Theron breathed a long sigh and said, "You can't make the same mistake twice, and someone will definitely be responsible for it."

Seeing that the Argentine president agreed, Pei Chengyi did not bother with this issue anymore and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back and adjust the deployment. With good news, I will report to you as soon as possible."

"This is the best." Theron did not try to keep him, and stood up to send Pei Chengyi out.

It doesn't matter whether to find someone to be responsible for the bombing of the Argentine Port Airport. What's important is that Pei Chengyi must take this opportunity to obtain command of the Argentine Air Force. The task force has gone south and will arrive within half a month. If we cannot control the Argentine Air Force as soon as possible, Pei Chengyi will not be able to defeat the task force. As for whether Alfonso has this ability, Pei Chengyi does not have much hope, because the performance of the Argentine Air Force before this proves that Alfonso is not an air force general suitable for leading the army.
