Chapter Seventy-Nine: Unexpected Support
Sigsby was at the rear of the wheeled formation at this time, and she always kept an eye on the movement behind her, but after the roar of the carrier-based aircraft in Lexington was far away, she immediately heard the dense cannon sound coming from the direction where Wackland was, and she was a little puzzled, and then she saw five white waves brought up by the torpedo gliding, which were rushing towards the flagship position.

"Watch out for torpedoes!
Sigsby shouted a warning without thinking, and then she rushed out without thinking, and the ship-mounted main gun on the left side of her body [U country single 5-inch gun: 20% correction to the air] aimed at the menacing deep-sea torpedo, and began to pour artillery fire.
Then there was the torpedo launcher on the left side of her body, three torpedoes were fired, and she aimed at a position several hundred meters directly in front of the deep-sea torpedo.
"It must be intercepted!" Sigsby was in a hurry, she saw that her cannon could not accurately hit those deep-sea torpedoes, and now she could only pray that her torpedo would hit the enemy torpedo and detonate it early.
"Boom!" Dozens of seconds later, Sigsby predicted in advance, a torpedo hit one of the deep-sea torpedoes, a huge explosion stirred up a column of water rushing to the sky, and the movement here on the right finally attracted Lexington's attention, she was concentrating on maneuvering the carrier-based aircraft just now, and she didn't pay much attention to Sigsby's reminder, but this time the explosion was too loud, and finally brought her back to her senses.
"It's a torpedo!" Lexington watched those water columns fall, and then saw four white waves coming, her face turned pale, although the regular aircraft carrier mother can carry torpedo planes, but it can't carry out anti-submarine warfare, and it is the light aircraft carrier mother who can carry out anti-submarine warfare, looking at the four torpedoes less than two hundred meters away from herself, she wants to avoid it too late at this time.
Just when Lexington was ready to eat thunder, Sigsby's petite figure, under the acceleration of 37 knots, rushed over, and then pushed Lexington directly forward.
You know, if the ship girls don't pay attention, the terrifying power in the body will not appear, Lexington was originally an aircraft carrier mother, if the ship is unfolded, a little use of the ship's power, it is not something that the destroyer's Sigsby can shake.
But this time, the torpedo was close at hand, which made Lexington, who had always been calm, lose his mind for a moment.
And although Sigsby is only a destroyer, her strength is still comparable to some human large lifting equipment, and with the inertia of acceleration, she pushed Lexington directly forward dozens of meters, and directly launched the deep-sea torpedo attack range.
"No!" Lexington looked at Sigsby, the petite shipwreck smiling with relief.
And after Sigsby knocked Lexington away, he had no time to dodge the deep-sea torpedo, and inevitably, Sigsby hit the mine.
However, because of the petite size of the destroyer, only two of the four torpedoes hit her.
Lexington froze when she saw Sigsby being hit by a deep-sea torpedo.
Sigsby, Cracked!
Sigsby was injured for the first time, and she found it really painful, but seeing that Lexington was fine, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she said:
"Our partners are still fighting and cannot back down......"
Lexington finally came to her senses, and she shouted to Kokang:
"Courage, Sigsby is injured, come and help!"
After saying that, Lexington hurriedly returned to Sigsby's side, she saw that at this time, Sigsby's ship's equipment was more than forty percent damaged, the main gun was seriously bent, and only the torpedo launcher was intact, and she hurriedly held the little guy up.
As soon as Guo Dang heard that someone had been hit by thunder, she hurriedly rushed from the front of the formation to the back, she came to Lexington's side, and then looked at Siggsby breaking, her face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly asked:
"Where did the torpedo come from?"
"West ......" Siggsby said subconsciously, and then reacted, and quickly turned pale, she hurriedly said loudly:
"Wackerland is in danger!"
Lexington signaled to take care of Sigsby, and then released his most powerful carrier-based bomber [BTD-1 Destroyer], she immediately released four of them, and then looked in the direction of the west, she comforted Sigsby and said:
"Don't worry, I'll send carrier-based aircraft over to support first, you can take care of Sigsby, we don't have anti-submarine warfare equipment now, I'm afraid this operation will be ......"
"Attention of all units, the radar has found that six unknown carrier-based aircraft are engaged in an exchange of fire with deep-sea units on the west side of our formation!" At this time, Pinghai suddenly found a yellow light spot near our unit that did not belong to his own and did not belong to the deep sea through the display on the [Improved Anti-Air Radar: 40% Correction of Air-to-Air]!"
The red dot symbolizes the enemy on the radar, the green dot represents one's own people on the radar, and the yellow dot represents a third party who has no name or foe.
It was also the first time that Pinghai saw the yellow light dot him, and she immediately reported it to Lexington.
Lexington nodded, she was now multitasking, not only to control the group of carrier-based aircraft fighting in front to cooperate with her sister to seize air supremacy, but also to control four [BTD-1 Destroyer] to support Walkerland's air, but when she heard Pinghai's report, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.
So she informed the four BTDs to fly at full speed, and a few tens of seconds later, Lexington "saw" above Walkland's head with several torpedo planes that she had never seen before, using the carrier's similar ability to share a field of view.
It seemed to sense that Lexington's bombers were coming, and the other party also knew that their mission was complete, so they took back these torpedo planes.
Walkland watched the torpedo planes that had saved her fly away, and looked at the silent deep-sea submarines at the bottom of the sea with palpitations, this was the first time she was so close to death, but she didn't see the other party's figure.
However, now was not the time to think about that, as Warkeland saw Lexington's BTD beckoning, and then returned to his own formation under the escort of four BTDs.
And Lexington originally wanted to send a BTD to tailgate, but the other party sent six [SBD-3 Dreadnought] to intercept it, and she knew that the other party didn't want to be exposed, so she dismissed the idea.
Wackerland returned to the center of her formation, and then saw Siggsby break down, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, knowing that she had failed in her duties this time, and hurriedly reported:
"This time I was too negligent to warn the deep-sea torpedo in advance!
Lexington frowned, she took the four BTDs back to the ship's hangar, and then withdrew her gaze from the west, and when she heard Walkland's words of some self-reproach, she just patted her head and said:
"It's not your fault, it's just that we don't have radio communication equipment, we suffer a loss in communication, and we have made a lot of calculations in this operation, and we didn't expect that there might be submarines in the deep sea, which is my responsibility. ”
Richelieu was on the left side of the guard at this time, she heard the sound of artillery fire coming from the center of her formation, and then she hurriedly rushed back, and when she saw that everyone except Siggsby was broken, she hurriedly asked:
"You've been attacked?"
"It's a deep-sea submarine. Lexington's face was a little solemn, she thought for a moment, and then said:
"All the staff change formation, advance in a single horizontal formation, don't be too far away from each other, narrow the range of alert, I let the bombers temporarily take charge of the aerial reconnaissance part, as for the reconnaissance work of other parts, please Pinghai. ”
"Leave it to me. Pinghai's little face was also tense, she stood up straight, and replied with vitality.
Just as Lexington was changing its formation because of the sudden appearance of these deep-sea submarines, the torpedo planes that had saved Walkland landed in an orderly manner into the specially-shaped ship armor plate in the hands of a pink-haired ship girl, and the light aircraft carrier's ship armor plate was designed like a flag.
Another ship lady beside her, who also had pink hair and much darker skin than her, looked at her with some confusion, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:
"Why are you nosy again, we are still in a hurry to go to Nile Harbor, don't waste aluminum. ”
"Oh, I see, Brooklyn, you're getting more and more verbose, but aren't we really going to help? I just saw BTD. ”
"BTD?" Brooklyn was stunned for a moment, this kind of carrier-based bomber is only equipped by the regular aircraft carrier girls of the U country, she frowned, and couldn't help but remember that when she was a mercenary in the Far Eastern Theater a few days ago, she heard some rumors about the First Ship Girl Academy.
She actually heard those people say that Lexington had found a new Admiral, and her sister had gone with her, and at first she thought it was ridiculous, after all, Lexington was so powerful, how could it be possible to find a new Admiral.
Later, however, she was a little skeptical, and there were rumors that Lexington had gone to a town guard near Nile Harbor, so she and her friends embarked on a trip to Nile Harbor with the idea of finding out.
Now listening to her friend talk about BTD, she didn't know what to think, so she remembered Lexington, and she asked coldly:
"Can you see how she operates carrier-based aircraft?"
Brooklyn's words made this captain of a cheerleader a little puzzled, she tilted her head, thought for a while, and said:
"I seem to have seen it when I was in the academy, spiral avoidance, U-shaped turns, and V-shaped flight sequences, is she ......?"
Brooklyn looked at her friend's face and became a little stunned, she thought to herself, it can't be such a coincidence.
At this time, Brooklyn can only cancel the plan to go to Nile Harbor, if the real Lexington is nearby, the shipwreck who is also a U country has to help, and even if it is not, if it is not to deal with the deep sea, it is natural for him to help.
Hearing Brooklyn say this, the light aircraft carrier lady shook the flag-like armor in her hand, she looked at her east, her face flashed a look of surprise, and then she looked back at her friend and made a grimace:
"Didn't you mean to be in a hurry? Slightly, why did you suddenly change your mind? ”
Brooklyn sighed, tapped her head lightly, and said:
"Don't sell cute, assaulter, you still owe me more than 100 units of aluminum and haven't paid it back, save me a little bit this time, you guy is really worrying, the armor is so weak, don't leave my field of vision, you know?"
"Slightly, I know, I know. The raider blinked his purple eyes, then stuck out his tongue.
Brooklyn sighed and escorted the assaulters, and the two of them headed in the direction of the First Fleet and the others on Twilight Island.
