Chapter 360: The First Independent Battle of the Destroyers (Part I)
When Li Ran woke up, he looked at Lexington, who was sleeping next to him, but he didn't scream.
After all, I didn't drink last night, so I can't have amnesia, that's too bloody.
Li Ran looked at the side face of his sleeping wife, and felt very amazing.
Yesterday in the dark, although she did everything she had to do, she wanted to turn on the light but was stopped, so she didn't appreciate her wife's expression.
The sleeping wife is so beautiful.
Li Ran thought so, a little dream-like unreal.
Lexington's eyelashes trembled, and then slowly opened her eyes, looking at the Admiral looking at herself, her face was obviously red, but after the relationship breakthrough, Mrs. obviously did not suppress her intentions.
"Good morning, Admiral. ”
Lexington winked mischievously, then said:
"Haven't you seen enough?"
"Ah, that ......"
Li Ran was a little overwhelmed for a moment, please, he was also experiencing it for the first time, and he was not an old driver.
"Puff ......"
Lexington chuckled, then felt pain in some place, and she snorted:
"Admiral, yesterday was really scary. ”
There are no words more lethal than Mrs.'s words.
Li Ran's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Lexington looked at the smile on her Admiral's face, and she sighed and said, "
"Admiral, what will everyone think if you don't get up again?"
"That's right. ”
Li Ran thought about it, although Gentle Township was very intoxicating, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Li Ran got out of bed first, then got dressed, and looked at Lexington who didn't get up for a long time, he was stunned:
"Won't you get up?"
"Well, the Admiral is a fool. ”
"Oh, I see, I should be gentle, sorry. ”
Li Ran figured out something, no wonder some people said that after becoming a real man, some emotional skills would be self-taught, it turned out that what Dad said was true.
He felt in a very happy mood, then lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead gently, and then said:
"Then have a good rest today, I'll explain it over there. ”
Li Ran said, and then left the room with confidence.
Closing his wife's room and going downstairs, he looked at the living room and saw that there was no one in the drawing-room, the door was closed, and he looked up at the clock, ten o'clock in the morning.
"It's so late? Oops, ...... last night"
Li Ran suddenly reflected, it seemed that he didn't pay attention last night, so he was blunt...... Oh no, Gaga......
He felt a chill down his spine, and if he let Gaga know, he wouldn't be miserable......
On the other side, Saratoga was carrying out an air defense patrol, and after the carrier's engine room fee, she sat at the non-abandoned tower base of the eastern pier, looked at the destroyers not far away who were conducting daily training, and suddenly sneezed.
"Ah Qiu~ Really, it's all my sister's fault, I didn't sleep well last night. ”
Akagi doesn't have to go on a patrol mission today, she is responsible for teaching the destroyers some common sense about the attack of carrier-based aircraft today, although she has not been in the town guard for a long time, but her talent is considered top-notch.
She was watching the destroyers carry out their daily patrol missions near the sea, as well as some evasion training, and looked up at the golden sea fangs carrier-based aircraft flying into the distance, she saw the Saratoga in a white dress on the base of the abandoned tower, she felt that there was nothing to do now, and it would be good to talk to her.
Therefore, Akagi wore her Fuso shrine maiden costume and came to Saratoga's side.
"Miss Saratoga, your face doesn't look good, haven't you rested?"
Akagi also went back to the newly built dormitory building yesterday to rest, so he didn't know that something was going on in the town guard's house.
"Ah, Akagi? It's you, scare me. ”
Saratoga was startled as she spoke, but her tone was not very energetic.
"Didn't you sleep well?"
Well, as a foodie, Akagi has always had a good quality of sleep, and she didn't understand that when she met Prestige and Yixian in the morning, their faces were obviously much worse than usual, and she was a little confused:
"Why don't you, Prestige, and Miss Yat-sen's faces look very good today?
"I didn't ...... There is no ......," Saratoga would not have said that she had been miserable yesterday by the coquettishness of her own class.
"Really?" Akagi didn't think much of it, she shifted her gaze to the sea, looked at the destroyers, and said with a smile:
"They're really cute. ”
"Who?" Saratoga was visibly stunned, and then looked in the direction of Akagi, her face softened, and her worries were put down, and then she nodded and said:
"Yes, the missions of the expedition have been completed very well, and I originally thought that Sigbis and their skills would need more time to hone as frigates, but in these few sorties, they have also become very reliable. ”
"After all, they were the first ones you and Miss Lexington taught. ”
"Really, my sister and I sometimes tell them about our post-war lessons at the end of the attack, so shouldn't it be a teaching?"
"No, Miss Saratoga, there are times when you can't be forgiven or forgiven if you don't take stock of the war. ”
Saratoga was silent, she understood the meaning of Akagi's words, but it didn't feel like it had much to do with training, and she didn't plan to dwell on those historical memories, so she said:
"Miss Akagi is an instructor, but she is much more suitable than my sister and me. ”
"No, if it weren't for the two of you who let them experience the baptism of war in advance, I don't think I would be able to make it so easy now, it's just that the kid named Lan is very worrying. ”
"Arashi?" Saratoga recalled a little, remembering that Arashi seemed to be a salvaged shipwive, but her sense of presence was very low, and she was usually not very lively, if it wasn't for Akagi to talk about it, she might not have been impressed.
After all, the work of aircraft carriers is considered to be the most intense in the Xiguang Town Guard, and they need to release carrier-based aircraft to be responsible for monitoring and reconnaissance of possible dangers in the coastal areas of the port area, and to annihilate or warn them as soon as possible.
However, due to the limited aviation force of the Twilight Town, although there are four regular aircraft carriers, Essex went to Mishima to inspect, Akagi has to teach the destroyers, Saratoga herself is responsible for today's airspace patrol, originally she was with her sister, but today my sister seems to be unable to come.
So, she felt a little bit struggling.
However, when she heard Akagi talk about Arashi, she frowned:
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like she's always going to get lost, even if it's a simple J offshore patrol mission, I'm often lost at sea, and several times I've made her the flagship of the expedition, and the other kids have complained that she often delays the mission, maybe she's worried about it, it's been boring these days. ”
"Lost?" said Saratoga paused, laughing and crying:
"Didn't Helena be in charge of charting the waters near the Minato?
"I don't know, but Lan this kid often shows a timid expression, I think, when the flagship thing, is it slow first. ”
"Is the expedition team the flagship?" Saratoga thought for a moment, the reason why Arashi was the flagship was because after she joined the Minato District, she and Firefly, Sigbys, and Keelin had improved their training the fastest, and they participated in almost every battle, so they decided.
The other three did their jobs well, but listening to what Akagi said today, she realized that they didn't seem to have been assessed for a long time.
It doesn't seem to have been formally assessed before, but based on judgment, it seems that you have to mention it to the admiral.
"I know, I'll talk to my sister about this, when the time comes, it depends on the situation, at the military meeting, you make a proposal to the admiral, after all, you and Lan are of the same nationality, it's more appropriate for you to say." ”
"yes, I see. Akagi nodded, the reason why she suddenly mentioned Arashi was because in the port area, as a senior of IJN's first air war, there was only one junior of the same nationality like Lan, so she naturally cared more about her.
"The gossip is over, it seems that some trouble has arisen again. ”
"Deep Sea?"
"Well, one of my carrier-based aircraft was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery thirty nautical miles to the northwest, it should be a group of light patrols of the deep sea, and the flagship should only be a heavy patrol of the deep sea. ”
"Do you want the destroyers to try?"
"They?"
"Well, except for expeditions, they accompany them as frigates on weekdays, and they have no experience in independent combat, isn't this the right time?"
"But wouldn't it be too dangerous?"
"Didn't you already find out the situation, there are no aircraft carrier units in this deep sea, right?"
"Well, I just dispatched a few nearby carrier-based aircraft, and I can confirm which area of the sea has no other deep-sea units except for that group of deep-sea units. ”
"That's a lot less dangerous, isn't it? And if we're here, we'll be in danger as soon as they're in danger, right?"
Akagi said, and then took the ship's suit out of the ship's space, it was a longbow.
Saratoga watched as Akagi bent his bow and arrows, and then the arrows flew out of the string and swept into the air as carrier-based aircraft.
"The experience of fighting independently is indeed important, but we have to inform the little ones without them knowing. ”
"I know, otherwise they're going to lose their nervousness and let them run into each other by chance, right?"
"Akagi, you ......"
"I said casually, then I'll inform them, you continue to monitor the movements of the deep-sea team, and I will guide the destroyers closer to that area. ”
"I'm sorry for you. Lexington looked at the high platform where Akagi had descended the abandoned tower, and then a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
Experience fighting alone?
Lexington clenched his fists silently, then took a deep breath:
Sister, I'll prove it to you, even if I'm not by your side, I can do a good job this time.
Hmph, and the abominable Admiral, wait to be surprised.
Saratoga thought, and then concentrated on gathering all the carrier-based aircraft into the airspace of the western sea where the deep sea had just been discovered, and she manipulated the carrier-based aircraft to hide in the clouds, avoiding the range of the deep-sea anti-aircraft guns, and then began to wait for the destroyers to reach the designated sea area.
