On the night of June 11th, General Thompson launched a brigade attack against the dug defenders of the ring of hills surrounding Stanley. The northern prong of the attack was conducted by the 3rd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment against Mount Longdon.
The plan called for A Company to seize a finger ridge on the north side of the mountain, code named Wing Forward. Elements of the Support Company were then to advance and provide fire support. B Company was to attack the ridge inself with the initial objective being Fly Half. The company was then to procede along the ridge until it reached Full Back and secured the high ground. If the attack went well, the battalion was to continue the advance and take Wireless Ridge to the east.
Mount Longdon was held by B Company of the 7th Infantry Regiment. The company was reinforced by a group of Marine heavy machine guns and an engineer platoon. The Argentineans were well dug-in and had artillery in support.
The British advanced under cover of darkness until a corporal in 4th Platoon stepped on a mine. Then the stillness of the night was broken by tracers, both red and green. The paratrooper advanced with British resolve. The Argentineans fought with back. For both sides, it would be the "bloodiest battle."
