Chapter 51: First Acquaintance with the Deep Sea

(Happy May Day everyone, ~~~ )

Pinghai and Sigsby stood quietly in front of Li Ran, looking at him with firm faces, waiting for his instructions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Ran frowned, although he had long expected that there would be a day of confrontation with the deep sea, but the deep sea offensive still came too quickly.

He looked at Pinghai and Sigsby, took a deep breath, and watched the sky become more and more gloomy, his face finally became cold, and said:

"Pinghai, you immediately go to the port to inform the goblins to enter a safe area to take refuge in the deep sea, and Siggs is better than you and me. ā€

"Understood, Admiral. Pinghai nodded. He saluted, and then immediately ran in the direction of the dock in the port area.

Li Ran thought about it, although the iron ore in the forest was deep in the center of Dawn Island, he didn't know if the attack range of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft would affect here, and now all over the island, except for the port wharf, there are a large number of goblins gathered, and there are goblins working in other places, he must notify all the goblins to prepare for refuge as soon as possible, so he walked to Elder Rin, who was still directing the handling of the raw mine, and said:

"Elder Rin, the deep sea is approaching Dawn Island, so hurry up and inform all the goblins to prepare for evacuation. ā€

"Deep Sea?" Elder Rin frowned, and she nodded:

"Understood, Lord Admiral, don't worry, I'll let the children of the tribe inform the tribesmen in the various mining areas, by the way, Lord Admiral, since you have to fight against the deep sea, this thing must be very helpful to you, please wait a minute. ā€

Although Li Ran was in a hurry to go to the port wharf, he also knew that his flesh and blood were too dangerous to go there, but as a soldier, there was never a reason to hide behind, and this time he was determined to see what kind of existence the so-called deep-sea fleet was.

Elder Rin said to a few clansmen in the language of goblins, and then many goblins immediately scattered, thinking that they were going to inform the clansmen to take refuge, while a goblin ran into the entrance of the mine, and soon after, Elder Na and a few goblin porters came out with an alloy box, Li Ran hurriedly greeted him, and asked:

"What is this?"

At this time, Elder Rin climbed down from a high place, walked next to Elder Dana, patted the alloy box and said:

"This is a telescope that we have tried to make if many goblins, but the accuracy is not high, limited by the lack of too high-quality crystals, the maximum visual range is only about 1000 nautical miles, I originally wanted to make this thing more perfect in the admiral, but now the war is urgent, if the elves also hope to be able to help the admiral, this thing I hope the admiral must accept. ā€

As he spoke, Elder Rin and Elder Na looked at Li Ran with a nervous expression.

Li Ran looked at the expressions of the two fairy elders, and he smiled bitterly and said:

"I will definitely accept it, your expression makes me feel very guilty, for more than half a month, it has been most of the places where you have helped me, I really deserve this thing. ā€

Elder Na said solemnly:

"Lord Admiral, the human beings in my memory are all insatiable people, only Lord Admiral is an exception, this thing is just a trial model, when Lord Admiral can provide better crystals, we will definitely make more excellent products, this thing can be regarded as a goblin thanks to Lord Admiral for taking in, so Lord Admiral does not have to have a psychological burden. ā€

"That's okay, I'm not pretentious, now that the situation is urgent, let's go our separate ways. Li Ran didn't refuse, if he heard Lexington's craftsmanship say that it was higher than the quality of human military industry, he opened the alloy box, and then saw the telescope.

The telescope was engraved with the words of the elf clan, the body of the mirror was made of brass, the ornamentation on it was extremely delicate, and it was also telescopic, he rubbed the telescope for a moment, and then thanked him again.

Elder Rin added:

"The telescope can adjust the distance of sight by the aperture in front of it. ā€

Li Ran nodded, and as Elder Rin said, he used the telescope to adjust the aperture, and sure enough, he found that the range of sight could be adjusted through the aperture, and he exclaimed:

"You've done me a great favor, without further ado, I'll go to the port area first, this time the deep sea is menacing, I really want to see it. ā€

When Sigsby heard Li Ran's words, she gritted her teeth and wanted to tell him not to go, but looking at the firmness on her commander's face, she could only silently dispel her thoughts.

Li Ran took the telescope in his hand, took Sigsby with his other hand, and then said goodbye to Elder Rin.

Just when Li Ran and Siggsby rushed to the dock in the port area non-stop, in the waters near Dawn Island, on the northwest coast, Lexington and the others finally encountered the deep-sea fleet.

"One deep-sea battleship, two deep-sea light mothers, one deep-sea heavy cruiser, two deep-sea destroyers, this should be the vanguard of the deep-sea fleet. ā€

Helena's ship is complete, and there is a golden radar ship, this time she has to be exposed, but compared to Li Ran's safety and the safety of the port area, if she exposes the secret, she has no choice, so she can only find a way to explain it at that time.

Helena let go of her psychological burden, and through the information fed back by the radar, she continued:

"By the way, all the carrier-based aircraft of the deep-sea light mother have been pressed over, it is eighty-six propeller carrier-based bombers and thirty-six deep-sea delta wing fighters, they are approaching the sky above us, and they want to seize air supremacy. ā€

Lexington had already met Saratoga halfway through, they had just met, it was after sending Quincy and Juno out for a distance, and when they returned to the back, they found that a large number of deep-sea fleets on Island C had been dispatched, and then they rushed back to the port area, but they didn't expect to encounter the vanguard of the deep sea, but when they heard Helena find out the enemy situation clearly, she took a deep breath, as the secretary ship of the Dawn Town Guard, and the flagship of the First Fleet of Dawn Island, she did not have the slightest fear, but said to her sister:

"With me and Gaga here, this air supremacy guarantee will be handed over to us. ā€

Bismarck's face was grim, and she nodded:

"I'll leave the suppression to Richelieu and me, and Helena, you, Walkland, and Firefly will be in charge of guarding them. ā€

"Understood. Helena nodded solemnly, although this is only a full fleet of deep-sea vanguards, but the other party also has battleship units, and the opponent's firepower can still cause great damage to her own aircraft carrier units, she thought for a while and said:

"Walkland, Firefly, you're in charge of the left wing, I'm in charge of the right. ā€

"Got it. Walkland and the fireflies looked at each other and replied in unison.

"Form a wheel formation!" Lexington knew what Helena meant, she was reminding herself that she was changing the formation, it was originally a compound formation, and now she ordered the formation to change.

The First Fleet consisted of eight people, and Lexington became the center of the formation, with Richelieu in charge of the rear, Bismarck in the front, Saratoga behind Bismarck, and Walkerland, Firefly, and Helena on the flanks.

When the formation stabilized and everyone began to move at a uniform speed, Lexington and Saratoga began to release carrier-based aircraft, which continued to take off from the armor of the Lexington sisters and then disappeared into the clouds.

The battle for air supremacy between aircraft carriers began before the two fleets met each other.

As the two fleets got closer, a few deep-sea carrier-based aircraft occasionally broke through the air fire interceptions in Lexington and Saratoga.

However, it is clear that Helena's anti-aircraft cannon is a sharp weapon against these carrier-based aircraft, and from time to time deep-sea spiral bombers are shot down and fall into the sea and explode.

Seeing this scene, Bismarck had to look at the light cruiser with admiration, and Richelieu was also amazed.

Without any suspense, Lexington and Saratoga teamed up, easily took air supremacy, and began to tilt their aerial firepower towards the deep-sea fleet.

"Attention, we are already within range of the opponent's fire!" Helena detected through the golden radar that the deep sea was less than 15 nautical miles away from her, and if it weren't for the weather, I'm afraid the artillery battle had already begun.

However, as soon as Helena looked at the radar, the enemy's six red dots were slowly disappearing, and she said with some shock:

"The signal of the deep-sea fleet is gone. ā€

Saratoga smiled and looked at Helena, who was behind her body in charge of guarding and seeking the enemy, and said,

"Of course it's gone, but my sister and I sank the deep sea fleet in a wave of bombardment. ā€

"All sunk?" Helenan was stunned for a moment, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that where the red dots had disappeared, the number of red dots began to increase, dense, so that Helena's face suddenly changed, and she said astringently:

"We are 15 nautical miles away, there are six full-fledged deep-sea fleets suddenly appeared, I failed to find the enemy, I can't clarify the opponent's lineup configuration, it should be the deep-sea main fleet undoubtedly. ā€

Lexington sat in the center, glanced at the back, it was the port area, it was everyone's port area, it was the home of the admiral, no one was allowed to harm this family, she didn't care about the heavy losses of her carrier-based aircraft, but for the first time her tone was full of coldness and ordered:

"You form a single horizontal formation, Bismarck and Richelieu will suppress the firepower, don't save resources, this battle is related to the future of the port area, please go all out!"

Saratoga saw her sister for the first time, different from her usual gentle style, her sister at the moment is too strong and too charming, Gaga's eyes are confused, it's really good to have such a sister.

"Gaga!" Lexington shouted, seeing that her sister was still in a daze, she was a little angry, and said in a serious tone:

"Pay attention to the bombing cover of carrier-based aircraft to provide landing point support for the shelling of Bismarck and Richelieu. ā€

Saratoga stuck out her tongue secretly, and her sister looked very angry too, well, I must be as strong as my sister!

"Understood, sister, leave it to me!"

……

Just when the First Fleet of Dawn Island encountered the Deep Sea Fleet in advance because of the gloomy weather, Li Ran and Sigsby came to the port area, and Pinghai was sending the last group of goblins staying in the port area back to the hidden cave near the deep-water harbor.

"Admiral, the port is too dangerous, you will guard the mansion first. ā€

"I'm not afraid, aren't you protecting me?" Li Ran looked at Ping Hai with a worried face, his heart warmed, but his tone was full of determination:

"Besides, it's just a deep-sea ......"

"Whew!"

When Li Ran was about to say anything, a shell hit the surface of the water in the deep-water port area, stirring up a column of water, which startled Pinghai, she immediately walked to Li Ran's side, and used the power of the ship's mother to drag him to the island, she said to Sigsby:

"Can you torpedo those deep-sea expulsions?"

"No problem, Sister Pinghai, the commander will be handed over to you. Sigsby was also angry, the deep-sea destroyer dared to invade the docks in the harbor area, and dared to shell his own admiral, which frightened the little guy, but as a ship girl, after the fright, it was angry, as one of the four Fletcher sisters, her torpedo ability is still very strong.

Sigsby unpacked his ship, stepped onto the surface of the deep-water harbor area, and then made a quick head for the deep-sea destroyers.

After Li Ran was dragged to a safe area by Pinghai, he was repeatedly told to stay where he was, while Pinghai turned around and went to support Sigsby.

Li Ran took out his binoculars, and for the first time he saw the appearance of these deep-sea destroyers:

The appearance of the deep-sea destroyer girl looks like a black shark, it should be the other party's ship uniform, but there is a white-haired girl in the mouth of this black shark, and there are many octopus-like tentacles on both sides of the girl, and these white-haired girls also have a dark cannon barrel in their mouths, flickering from time to time.

He also noticed that there were some black torpedoes hanging from the sides of the Deep-Sea Destroyer, but each Deep-Sea Destroyer only had two torpedoes on it.

He held the binoculars and watched with some nervousness as Sigsby made difficult evasive maneuvers in the firepower net of the six deep-sea destroyers, which should be the result of half a month of training.

However, Li Ran still pinched a cold sweat for the little guy, and at this time, he finally saw that Sigsby finally made a counterattack.
