Chapter Seventy-Seven: Operation Daybreak: Begin!
The next day, there was a heavy fog in the port area, and what they talked about with Helena yesterday, Li Ran and Helena knew each other, and the two made an excuse and did not choose not to confess the past to others in the port area. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it was more than six o'clock in the morning, and Li Ran was standing in the foggy eastern deep-water harbor, which was called Xiguang Pier by Li Ran last night.
At this time, due to sea fog, the visibility was extremely low and less than 50 meters.
Li Ran looked at the ship girls who were lining up on the sea, their figures shrouded in fog. , slender statures and the steel armor they carry
It has formed a strange beauty of iron and softness.
And Li Ran's gaze swept over their faces, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
However, as a commander, he always has to make some pre-war mobilization speeches, after all, Bai Nuoyan, an outsider, wants to take out the spirit of Xiguang Town's guard.
Li Ran sorted out some chaotic thoughts in his mind, sorted out the white admiral uniform on his body, sorted out the collar, and said with a solemn expression:
"This battle will be won!"
Bai Nuoyan thought that Li Ran was so impassioned, but when she heard Li Ran's simple words, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"This battle will be won!" I have to say that the ship girls like Li Ran's short pre-war speech very much, after all, no one likes to listen to a long speech early in the morning.
Bai Nuoyan listened to Li Ran's ship girls shouting in unison, she looked at the figures in the sea fog, and felt that the aura on their bodies was different from before, which was a feeling that was difficult to explain clearly.
Bai Nuoyan didn't know what prompted Li Ran's ship girls to be reborn as if they were nirvana after only one night, but as women, they felt that these ship girls might really bring glory that attracted the attention of the world.
This feeling made Bai Nuoyan a little envious, and even a little jealous.
And when Bai Nuoyan was in a daze, Li Ran and Lexington had already said goodbye, and Twilight Island attacked except for Keeling, because someone must stay in the port area to watch over the family and protect Li Ran's safety, which was unanimously decided by the ship's girls.
And because Keelin was drawn to stay in Hong Kong during the lottery, she could only stand beside Li Ran and watch with envy as the figures of her sisters disappeared into the sea fog.
In this operation, Twilight Island was divided into two fleets.
The First Fleet is fully staffed, with the flagship Lexington and members Richelieu, Firefly, Pinghai, Walkland, and Kokang.
The Second Fleet is not fully staffed for the time being, with the flagship Helena and members Saratoga, Bismarck, and Sigsby.
The division of labor between the two fleets is different, but Li Ran only knows that the first fleet is responsible for the attack and the second fleet is maneuvering, because he has already stated that he will not interfere in this combat arrangement, and it is completely up to the ship's discretion.
Li Ran touched Keelin's head, watching their figures disappear completely into the sea mist, and he said in a wistful tone:
"Let's go back. ”
"Hmm. Keelin nodded obediently, and she secretly swore in her heart, sisters, don't worry, I will definitely protect the Admiral.
Bai Nuoyan looked at Li Ran a little depressed, although she couldn't empathize with it for the time being, but she vaguely understood, maybe after she became the admiral, she would say goodbye to her shipwrecks at the dock like this, right?
Bai Nuoyan looked at the two figures, one big and one small, and walked back to the direction of the Xiguang Town Guard, she glanced at Hipper, who had been standing silently behind her, and said:
"Hipper. ”
"What's wrong, Admiral?"
"Nothing. Bai Nuoyan smiled back, took Hipper's arm, and then said in his heart:
I just want to say that it's nice to have your approval and be your admiral.
Hipper sensed that her admiral was a little strange, and she was a little puzzled, but she looked at the abnormal sea fog in the early morning, and was faintly worried.
……
Li Ran, accompanied by Kelin, returned to the town guard mansion, he didn't seem as panicked as he did at the beginning, although he was a little worried in his heart, but after yesterday's events, he had really put himself in the position of the commander at this time.
"Admiral, do you have anything on your mind?"
"No, I'm just a little worried. ”
"Are you worried about everyone? Admiral, in fact, everyone is very powerful, don't worry, woo, bite your tongue. Keeling said in a hurry, and he bit his tongue again.
Li Ran couldn't help but laugh at Keelin's cute appearance, he sat on the sofa, feeling a little bored, no TV, no computer and mobile phone, although this world has that kind of tool for external communication, but that thing is only used to urgently ask for help, and he has not met with other admirals of the town guard mansion now, he pondered for a while, and said in his heart that when this dawn event is over, it is time for him to go on a long trip.
Keelin looked at Li Ran and fell into deep thought, she didn't bother, but she felt a little bored, she took out a can of rainbow-colored hard candy from the drawer under the tea table, and then took out one and handed it to Li Ran's mouth:
"Admiral, give you candy. ”
Li Ran was interrupted by Keeling's words, and his heart said that he was distracted again, he smiled, took the candy over, and then hugged Keeling to his lap, and then kissed Keeling on the forehead, and he said softly:
"Thank you, Keeling, the candy is sweet. ”
Keelin smiled and blushed, not knowing whether she was shy or happy, she shook her head and said:
"Admiral, don't keep a bitter face, let's go out and play. ”
"Hmm, where do you want to go?" Li Ran put Kelin down, then took her hand and walked out of the town guard mansion.
"I don't know, but Keeling just wants to walk around with the Admiral all the time, and it's too boring to stay in the town guard's mansion. ”
"Okay, let's walk around then. ”
……
At the same time, the two fleets of Dawn Island have left the Dawn Pier far behind, and since both fleets have light patrol radars to find their way to the enemy, they basically maintain a high speed.
Lexington is already like the third batch of carrier-based aircraft at this time, as the flagship of the First Fleet, she must always pay attention to the situation in the sky, after all, the sea fog is now filled, although after leaving the port area, the sea fog has obviously faded, but the closer to Island C, the more you can't take it lightly.
Finally, an hour later, Lexington, through the reconnaissance of carrier-based aircraft, discovered the first deep-sea fleet, and she immediately said to all the crew members:
"15 nautical miles to the southwest, a deep-sea fleet was discovered, the fleet composition is as follows, the flagship is the deep-sea heavy cruiser, there are three deep-sea light cruisers, and the deep-sea expulsion of two, ready for battle!"
"Roger!" the First Fleet girls promised in unison.
Lexington nodded, and then flew behind her with a carrier-based aircraft, and she was about to inform the Second Fleet behind her that it had now entered the waters infested by the Deep Sea Fleet.
As for how to notify, this is a carrier-based aircraft manipulation technique in which aircraft carriers transmit information to each other through carrier-based aircraft, that is, according to the number of enemy teams encountered, the corresponding number of carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched to notify.
Saratoga, as Lexington's younger sister, under the guidance of her sister, naturally understands this method of communication, and when she saw her sister's carrier-based aircraft appear, she immediately said to Helena, the flagship of the Second Fleet:
"Sister, they encountered a deep-sea fleet. ”
"Got it, all the staff are ready to maneuver. ”
"Understood!" the entire Second Fleet agreed in unison.
In the sea near Island C, which is shrouded in sea fog, the strategy operation called Dawn has finally begun!
