When he arrived at the reef that Fusang had mentioned, Lexington's face was visibly not good-looking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Sister Lexington?" Pinghai was a little worried, as a light cruiser, she had been paying close attention to the movements of the carrier-based aircraft, and with the cooperation of the radar of the Atago, she could feel that Lexington's carrier-based aircraft had been shot down a lot, but the loss of deep-sea carrier-based aircraft was also huge, which relieved the air defense pressure of the combined fleet.
"It's okay, the children are ready to go home, everyone is ready for battle. Lexington smiled reluctantly at Pinghai and motioned for her not to say more.
Atago looked at Lexington and wanted to offer words of comfort, but she saw several cannons whizzing in her direction, and she roared angrily:
"Enemy artillery fire is coming, everyone pay attention to avoidance!"
Bismarck and Fusang glanced at each other, and as battleships, they fearlessly rushed out of the island.
"Rise to the fury!" Bismarck raised his hands slightly, and the ship's main gun behind her, [G Country Twin 380mm Cannon], let out a roar of rage, and shot a scorching fire at the most conspicuous aircraft carrier in the deep-sea fleet that had appeared in her range, and the shells whistled out.
Fuso's face was still gentle, and she never seemed to be angry, but her eyes were also fierce at the moment, and the ship-mounted main gun [J Country 35.6 cm Continuous Gun] behind her was aimed at another aircraft carrier of the Deep Sea Fleet.
The idea of these two people is surprisingly consistent, that is, to cut off the deep-sea aviation threat first, and there are still two hours before night, and the deep-sea aircraft carrier that can still fight is a huge threat to the current United Fleet.
However, to the surprise of Bismarck and Fuso, the reaction of the deep-sea ship mother, even if they were dozens of nautical miles away, they could already feel the cold eyes from these two deep-sea aircraft carriers, and the guns of the two were blocked by the deep-sea heavy patrol responsible for covering the deep-sea aircraft carrier, however, the firepower of the battleship was too terrifying, and the two heavy cruisers who blocked the artillery fire for the deep-sea aircraft carrier were immediately engulfed in flames and made a huge explosion.
"Damn!" Bismarck clenched her fists, and she said to Fuso:
"I can't imagine that the deep sea is so fierce and not afraid of death!"
Fuso's soft face finally turned cold, and she said:
"I'm afraid it's an order from two deep-sea aircraft carriers. β
"Sister Fuso, be careful of torpedoes, pay attention to the port side to avoid!" Fuso heard Bai Xue's prompt, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately slid out hundreds of meters.
"Sister Bismarck, be careful, there is a light patrol on the right side that has also fired a torpedo, and it is approaching rapidly!" The firefly was in charge of acting as Bismarck's eyes, and she saw several white waves in the sea at this moment, which were rapidly approaching, and as a destroyer, she immediately understood that it was a torpedo.
Bismarck didn't doubt the Firefly's words either, and she and Fuso staggered, and then the two looked at each other at the wrong time, and nodded to each other.
Everyone was stunned by Bismarck's and Fuso's tactical evasion, and what was even more amazing was that the gliding trajectory of the two was still in the attack path of the torpedoes, but strangely, these torpedoes seemed to ignore the two targets and collided straight together.
"Boom!"
The torpedoes of the deep sea light patrol and the deep sea expelled collided, making a huge explosion, even masking the huge sound of rain, and the figures of Bismarck and Fuso rushed out of the middle of the water column.
"Fuso, you're very strong. Bismarck smiled indifferently.
Fuso smiled softly:
"Bismarck-chan is also very powerful, I'm really surprised that you are going on your first expedition. β
Seeing that the two of them were fine, everyone exhaled lightly.
Lexington looked at the obviously somewhat stalemate scene, and released the carrier-based aircraft again, she stopped Pinghai's persuasion, although she also felt sorry for the carrier-based aircraft that she had painstakingly maintained over the years, but when she thought of Li Ran, her slightest reluctance was also thrown out of her mind, and she said to Pinghai:
"Flat the sea, cover Bismarck, fireflies seek opportunities to attack enemy battleships, don't skimp on ammunition!"
Bai Xue also began to give orders, and the battle slowly fell into a white heat, and finally, someone was injured, only to hear Z22 shouting in panic:
"Sister, are you alright? β
"It's okay, it's just broken, keep fighting!" Z21's clothes were already torn and charred, and the ship's outfit was even more distorted and deformed, and the speed of the ship had dropped significantly.
Z21 still wanted to launch a torpedo, but she saw an oncoming shell, and she saw the farthest point of her vision, the pupils of the deep-sea battleship seemed to flicker with a cold light of hatred, and she was a little confused:
Is this about to end?
......The roar of the carrier-based aircraft swept over the Z21's head, and countless aviation bullets swept over the flying shells, detonating the shells in mid-air in advance, and the explosion set off a column of water that soared into the sky, pouring a cold on the Z21, which was still in a daze.
Lexington breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the rain had become lighter, otherwise she might not be able to catch up with her rescue this time, she said to Bai Xue:
"Cover the retreat of Z21, everyone stabilize the compound formation, don't mess up the formation. β
"Z22, cover your sister's retreat, Atago you go and help!" Bai Xue bowed, she glanced at Lexington gratefully, but now it is a battlefield, every second counts, she immediately ordered:
"We use the cover of the reef to reduce our exposure to enemy fire. β
Bismarck was a little surprised when she heard Bai Xue's words, this little sister of the destroyer was very adaptable to the battlefield, and sighed, and the main and secondary guns of her ship began to exert their power again.
Fuso also smiled with relief, and saw that the Z21 was covered and retreated to the rear of the island and reef, this gentle Yamato Nadeshiko was angry, the ship behind her was all opened, and the two main guns and four secondary guns were aimed at the dense place of the deep-sea fleet, which was where the aircraft carrier covered by the deep-sea was located, her hand was slightly raised, and the six guns fired a salvo, which was amazing!
Bismarck felt a little shocked for the first time, as a ship's mother, she understood the skill required for the salvo of the ship's main gun and secondary guns, and it was not possible to do it overnight, although the salvo of the Fuso's six guns was not very exaggerated, but Bismarck now thought that he could not do it for the time being.
However, this also aroused her fighting spirit, the German cat's cat ears stood up, she took a deep breath, and began to try a salvo of two cannons, this time, she was determined to kill the deep-sea flagship with two cannons to justify her name as the flagship killer.
In the deep-sea fleet, the deep-sea aircraft carrier raised its head and was paying attention to the battlefield in the air, when suddenly, six dazzling flames rushed into the deep-sea ship group, sinking four weakly armored deep-sea expulsions, and breaking two deep-sea heavy cruisers into a mid-hole.
These six cannons were officially sent out by Fuso, but it is clear that although these six cannons have achieved amazing results, they still failed to hit the deep-sea aircraft carrier.
However, Bismarck's two-gun salvo followed Fuso's six-gun salvo.
The two shells that condensed Bismarck's anger, one missed, and the other accurately hit the armor plate of the deep-sea aircraft carrier, causing the deep-sea aircraft carrier to be directly destroyed and paralyzed.
The deep-sea fleet was visibly enraged, and countless guns roared in, targeting Bismarck and Fuso.
Bismarck, knowing that his purpose had now been achieved, cried out: "Fireflies!"
Fuso also knew that she had completed the task of luring the enemy, and she shouted, "Bai Xue-chan!"
Fireflies and Snow White looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"Torpedo, launch!" the two small ones shouted in unison, the torpedo launcher deployed, and several torpedoes fell from in front of the two small ones, setting off several white waves in the sea, aiming directly at the battleship unit with the most powerful firepower in the deep-sea fleet.
"Boom!" because Bismarck smashed one of the aircraft carriers to a big loss, causing the hatred of the deep sea fleet to tilt towards Bismarck and Fuso, and ignore the offensive from the other ships.
More than a dozen torpedoes fired by Fireflies and Snow took away 4 deep-sea battleships this time.
Pinghai also knew that now was the opportunity, the ship's equipment was deployed, the main guns were corrected, and they were launched.
She finally fired the first shell since the expedition, and this shell, magically passed through the cover of the deep-sea fleet, hitting the deep-sea aircraft carrier that was originally destroyed by Bismarck's first shot, and this shot directly sank the deep-sea aircraft carrier.
"Well done, Pinghai-chan!" Atago faced this ship girl she had never seen before for the first time, she was not far behind, although the heavy cruiser's naval guns were not as good as the battleships, but they were also very powerful, and her goal was to escort the deep sea light patrol around the only remaining deep-sea aircraft carrier, she shouted excitedly:
"It's time for the Queen's show!"
The two ship-mounted main guns [20.3 cm continuous guns of country J] on Atago's side roared angrily, constantly spitting out hot flames, and the shells whistled out, hitting several deep-sea light cruisers in a row, but they only broke the deep-sea light cruisers, and she was a little angry and was about to continue firing.
But I heard Z22 shout in surprise:
"The deep sea seems to have retreated!"
Only then did everyone react, looking in the direction of the deep-sea fleet, they found that more than a dozen deep-sea ships were burning and slowly sinking, and the carrier-based aircraft of the deep-sea aircraft carrier in the sky also began to return, and the deep-sea slowly withdrew out of the maximum range of the combined fleet.
Lexington breathed a sigh of relief and had no intention of ordering a pursuit.
Bai Xue also felt the pressure on her shoulders lighten, and then, she heard Chu Xue's voice:
"Bai Xue-chan, we're here!"
The weather at sea has always been capricious, I don't know if it is a coincidence or inevitable, when the deep-sea fleet retreats out of sight, the rain also stops, the dark clouds disperse, the rain clears, and a rainbow hangs in the sky.
This battle surprised everyone, except for the Z21 break, everyone else was only slightly bruised, and Pinghai was magically unscathed.
Chu Xue arrived with reinforcements from the Thundering Town Guard, but she was a little dumbfounded when she found that the fighting had stopped.
"Where's my sister?" asked the white-haired Yamashiro with a butterfly pinned to her hair as soon as she arrived at the battlefield.
"Sister, I'm fine. Fuso's soft voice came.
Bismarck glanced at Fuso and retreated to Lexington's side, and the fireflies and Pinghai were lined up.
Bai Xue also ordered the whole team, looked at Lexington, and said:
"Sister Lexington, thank you so much for this battle. β
"No, everyone is working hard in this battle. Lexington shook her head, and was about to give the order to sail back, she sighed inwardly, what should I do if the Admiral's mission was not completed properly?
Bai Xue hurriedly stopped her and said:
"Sister Lexington, it's not too early, why don't you go back to the town guard mansion with us to replenish our supplies, and leave tomorrow morning?"
"But there is no one stationed in our port area now, and I am afraid that the Admiral is in danger. Lexington rejected her offer.
Fuso thought for a moment, she got the news from her sister Yamashiro, and asked in a soft tone:
"Admiral Thunder has sent a supply ship to follow behind, you guys wait a minute, how about returning to the port after the supply is completed?"
Lexington still wanted to refuse, but looking at the poor firefly and Pinghai's eagerness, as well as the hesitation in Bismarck's eyes, she remembered that her own admiral no longer had many resources, and if she could complete the supply nearby and return to Hong Kong, it would also reduce the pressure on the admiral, so she agreed.
After the arrival of the supply fleet of the Thundering Town Guard, Lexington and the others got on the supply ship under the leadership of the Thundering Town Guard's secretary Yamashiro.
Looking at Lexington and the others who were a little hesitant, Yamashiro got the news from her sister Fuso, she knew that Lexington, as the core of the combined fleet, had the greatest loss, and the most aluminum consumption, and the carrier-based aircraft was the most aluminum-consuming ship, so she said very generously:
"You're welcome, these supplies were originally for emergency preparations, but the early retreat of the deep sea caused the supply ships to carry too many resources, which is enough for you to supply, and this is also to thank you for helping Sister Fuso and Bai Xue-chan. β
Lexington looked at Yamashiro and then at Fuso, who nodded, signaling that her sister was right.
Lexington could only thank him, and Bismarck and others thanked him one after another.
It's just that when the fireflies and the flat sea came out of the supply ship, the resources were not consumed much.
And when Bismarck entered, the supply ship consumed most of the oil and steel steel, which made Bai Xue stick out her tongue in surprise.
Yamashiro whispered in Fuso's ear:
"Sister, sister, Bismarck can eat as much as you do, but it's not as big as my sister. β
Fusang laughed, she nodded Yamashiro on his forehead dotingly, and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, Bismarck-chan's fighting talent is very strong, stronger than both Hyuga and Ise, in this battle, she is a virgin battle, and she can learn to fire a double cannon salvo, which is admirable. β
However, it is obvious that Li Ran's ship girls want to let the ship girls who are guarding the mansion in Thundering Town see what it means to consume a lot and eat a lot.
Bismarck's supply is finished, and Lexington begins to replenish, her aluminum consumption is terrifying, and the supply brought by the mountain city this time is for the heavy patrol Atago, which is equipped with a water reconnaissance aircraft, because there are no aircraft carrier units in the Thundering Town Guard, and it is useless to have more aluminum, so Chu Xue said that there were aircraft carriers participating in the war, and Admiral Lei Ming said that he must not treat the friendly aircraft carrier badly, and also said that the other party was a wife or something, and strangely transferred 500 units from the more than 1,500 aluminum accumulated in the town guard, and now Lexington has consumed more than 300 units at onceγ
"That's why aircraft carriers are so fond of aluminum?" everyone present looked at Lexington with a satisfied look after the resupply, and black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead.
After the supply was completed, the supply ship was much lighter, and Lexington thanked him again, and unpacked his ship with Bismarck, Pinghai, and Firefly, and prepared to return home.
Bai Xue and Fusang and the others stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Lexington and the others who were fading away in the sunset, their eyes full of reluctance.
"Sister?" Yamashiro looked at Fusang, who was a little tired, gently wrapped his arms around her back, reached out and touched his sister's chest, and felt her sister's two unscientific majesty, she rubbed it and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Fusang felt his sister's strange hand, her pretty face flushed, and she patted it:
"It's okay, I'm just thinking that it would be nice if the Admiral also had an aircraft carrier. β
Bai Xue also showed an expectant look:
"Yes, if only the Admiral also had an aircraft carrier!"
β¦β¦
On the way back, Lexington still did not let his guard down, in case the retreating deep sea went and returned.
Everyone on the road was also worried about Li Ran's safety, and they had no desire to chat, so they moved forward at full speed, and finally when it was dark, they saw the vague outline of the island where the port area was located.
As Lexington's frigate, Pinghai immediately spotted a figure with a torch on the shore of the island, and she exclaimed in surprise:
"Sister Lexington, look, is the man standing on the shore an Admiral?"
