Chapter 782 A-4's Attack
"Quick, naval guns, shoot quickly!" There were constant exclamations on the Invincible. The arrival of these Skyhawk attack aircraft made the personnel on the Invincible aircraft carrier panic. Now, their only means of counterattack is naval guns!
The 114mm naval gun continued to fire into the air. The surrounding hot shell casings filled the open space, and flames came out of the muzzle, showing its power towards the sky.
The arrival of this batch of Skyhawk attack aircraft indeed caught the British off guard. When those Skyhawk attack aircraft pulled up from the sea and prepared to dive and drop bombs, the British finally reacted!

On the bridge, the captain's face also changed color. He shouted an order: "Quick, full left rudder, full left rudder! Full speed!"
A Skyhawk attack plane that was pulled up first had already dived down without caring about death. The 114mm naval gun was powerful enough at this time and hit the Skyhawk attack plane with one shot. In an instant, the entire fighter plane turned into a fireball in the air! However, almost at the same time, two 227kg bombs under the wings of the Skyhawk attack plane also broke away from the fighter plane and flew over!
The speed of the aircraft carrier was more than 20 knots at this time. In this case, if the left rudder was turned hard, the whole ship would tilt, and even the unlucky people on the deck who did not hold on to the deck would fall into the sea. But now, no one cared so much, because the accuracy of the two bombs was very high!

The Invincible aircraft carrier turned quickly and the hull was tilting rapidly. At this time, the damage control work of the part that was hit below had just been completed. The buoyancy of the hull had decreased. This maneuver was quite dangerous.
Fortunately, the two bombs did not hit the deck and exploded in the sea a few meters away from the warship.
However, this was the first time! Then, there were desperate Argentine pilots who dived down!

"Revenge the squadron leader!" Pilot Jose Vasquez shouted loudly on the radio. Just now, he saw the leader's plane being hit by British artillery fire and turned into a fireball. He was not afraid. At this moment, he was completely filled with anger. Blow up the British aircraft carrier! This is Argentine land! Get out of here, colonialists!
The 114mm naval gun continued to fire into the air, but unfortunately, after firing two shells, the gun became silent.
"The gun has jammed due to overheating due to continuous firing!" the soldier in charge of operating the gun shouted loudly.
This type of automatic-firing naval gun rarely jams, but once it jams, it is difficult to troubleshoot in a short period of time!

The British were also anxious. A soldier holding a hammer was about to climb onto the ship's gun, ready to swing it a few times to vibrate the barrel and knock out the jammed shell!
Meanwhile, José Vásquez had taken aim, pressed the button, and waited for the vibration of the fuselage, indicating that his bomb had fallen.

However, just after he pressed the button, this feeling did not come. He looked at the dashboard in front of him, which clearly showed a bombing failure and the bomb could not be detached from the rack!
Damn it! How did those stupid ground crews maintain the fighter planes and hang bombs? At this time, José Vasquez had no time to curse. He pulled the control lever and wanted to pull it up. Since he could no longer drop bombs, he had no choice but to return. However, when he saw the deck of the Invincible so clearly in front of him, he remembered the sacrifice of the squadron leader Ernesto Ureta, and he could no longer control his enthusiasm. So, he continued to maintain his course and rushed towards the deck of the Invincible aircraft carrier!
"Long live Argentina!" Jose Vazquez made his final voice on the radio.
Inside the bridge, Admiral John Feldhaus's eyes were fixed on the fighter plane that fell from the sky. At this moment, the picture was frozen. At first, only when the Japanese were defeated, they organized an organization like the Kamikaze Squad, trying to use suicide attacks to delay their demise. And now, unexpectedly, the Argentines also launched such an attack!

Can the aircraft carrier under my feet withstand such a blow?
"Boom!" The A-4 Skyhawk attack plane fell onto the deck. At this moment, the fuses of the two bombs that could not be dropped were activated, and a violent explosion occurred! The entire attack plane also caught fire in the explosion! The remaining fuel of the attack plane was the best burning material!
"Hurry, hurry to put out the fire!" the captain of the aircraft carrier shouted loudly. If the plane had crashed a little further back, the Sea Harrier fighters in the parking area would also be affected. Even so, the fire would spread quickly!

The deck is very strong. In order to withstand the impact of fighter jets taking off and landing, and at the same time to withstand the heat of the Sea Harrier's vertical take-off and landing, the deck is covered with the highest-strength steel plates. The explosion just now did not seem to damage the deck!
"Report, there is a fire in the hangar!" At this moment, a piece of bad news came! That damn Skyhawk attack plane still made a big crack in the deck! The hangar under the deck was also on fire!
"Quick, damage control!"

While shouting into the microphone, the captain's eyes froze. In the air, two other A-4 attack planes had already dropped their bombs!
One of the bombs exploded right where the Skyhawk had crashed! The explosion also tore a large hole in the deck! The fire spread rapidly!
A sense of fear enveloped the captain's heart. He turned to Admiral John and said, "General, please leave the Invincible immediately! I will arrange a helicopter immediately!"

Damn it, if they had super aircraft carriers like the United States, would they still let these simple Skyhawk attack aircraft fly over their skies to bomb them? It was not destroyed by the attack of Exocet missiles, but was sunk by bombs dropped by others in the way of World War II. This is simply a shame for the British Navy!
Closing his eyes, Admiral John's mind once again saw the image of the Prime Minister, the Iron Lady. Before setting out, Admiral John was full of confidence and was determined to retake the Falkland Islands by force! All along, the Iron Lady had firmly supported Admiral John, including using nuclear submarines to destroy the Argentine cruiser!
