Chapter 34: Reinforcements
The first to react was Major General Gen Nakai, who seemed to be the most mature and sophisticated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"What happened, wasn't it okay just now?"
"It was very complicated, first the support convoy was attacked by a large number of deep-sea attacks, and the 13th and 14th detachments of the accompanying Second Army fell into a bitter battle. Subsequently, the 5th Detachment of the 1st Army went to support, and at this time, the M101 volcanic island under construction was under stronger attack, and according to the main station, the enemy was constantly being informed, and the number was huge, and it was suspected that there were deep-sea units of the rank of Fen Ji in the vicinity. β
"How so, didn't they preclude the danger beforehand?!"
"Now is not the time to discuss this, the closest to the First Army is us, and we will immediately send reinforcements. Xing Meiyun jumped up from the chair lightly, pulled up the sleeping Masaki Xingmei Sao and pushed it out, and at the same time beckoned to Su Yun to follow, and then turned back to Nakai Xuan and quickly ordered: "Major General Xuan, the next temporary command is in your hands, immediately stop the current operation, and all the staff enter the safe harbor to stay on guard." I will leave the 7th Detachment of the 3rd Army to be stationed here, and immediately lead the 8th Detachment to the sea where the 1st Army is located, and no one is allowed to act rashly until I have issued an order to lift the guard. β
Nakai Xuan was not ambiguous, and hurriedly saluted.
"Yes!"
"Morita-kun, put on your ship outfit quickly, let's go!"
At this time, Xingmei Sao was unexpectedly well-behaved, and when Su Yun opened the cockpit of the Amagi ship, she saw that she had already boarded her own Kawauchi ship, and rubbed her sleepy eyes vigorously, and she was still holding the handheld that was not turned off tightly in her hand.
She asked dimly, "Are you going to dry the deep sea?"
"That's right, it's time for you to play. β
"Okay!"
So she was suddenly excited, and she didn't feel sleepy.
The trio quickly left the conning tower.
The people outside were completely unaware of what was happening dozens of nautical miles away, and they were doing their work in full swing, and they stopped to salute when they saw Xing Meiyun. The latter didn't care much for a long time, and didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he directly led the two to the tarmac on the platform square, only to see that a strange-looking small ship was parked here, which was the command ship of Xing Meiyun Qing.
But this is tens of meters in the air......
Fortunately, Su Yun knew that this command ship was amphibious by land, sea and air, and when necessary, it could also rely on the large shield force field on the periphery to forcibly dive and forcibly perform quadrhoea. However, it is not a professional flying machine after all, it cannot be perfect, and it can be lifted off by four high-power magnetic engines, which can only climb to a low altitude of about 50 meters at a maximum and move laterally very slowly.
Could it be that Xing Meiyun wants to fly over with this command ship?
If it doesn't have the power that Su Yun doesn't know about, then according to experience, the speed in the air is about 20 knots, and when it arrives at the sea area where the First Army of the Western Front occurred, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold.
The answer was soon revealed.
After the three of them got on the boat, Xing Meiyun gently beckoned Su Yun into the cabin, but Xingmei Sao on the side ran to the stern of the boat with cheers, and very quickly got into a hidden hatch and disappeared below deck. In the general control room, Xing Meiyun used the communicator to command the seventh and eighth main fleets cruising on the periphery, and at the same time steadily turned on the thrusters, accompanied by a slight "buzzing" tremor in his ears, Su Yun felt that the surrounding scenery suddenly sank, and the command ship quietly left the surface of the platform.
Then, Xing Meiyun gently pushed down a lever, and the sound of a turbine thruster sounded from the tail of the command ship, and the command ship weighing thousands of tons slowly moved.
Su Yun saw a thick smoke through the back window.
It always feels familiar......
Feeling the command ship gradually speeding up, and thinking of the strange behavior and excitement of Sao Hoshimi, Su Yun immediately understood what was going onβit was the Sao Hoshimi ship that was now providing plane power to the command ship. When she accelerates to hundreds of knots above the sea, her tail will appear like this jet-like situation.
But to propel a whole ship suspended in the air, what a powerful engine!
In just a dozen seconds, the command ship has become quite fast in continuous acceleration, and the command platform behind it is flying away. And this acceleration that can be felt has no intention of stopping, along with the smoke from the tail, Su Yun stood in the semi-sealed control room, and could already feel the whistling wind coming from the gap in the air.
At this time, Xing Meiyun stood in front of the console, no longer operating the ship, and seemed to have entered the automatic cruise mode as usual, but his expression became extremely solemn for the first time.
It's like a completely different person.
The atmosphere was a little silent, but Su Yun decided not to try to talk, at this time, it was enough to wait quietly for the follow-up development, and then do what he had to do.
But Xing Meiyun took the initiative to speak.
He didn't look back, just drooped deeply.
"Morita Jun ......"
"I'm here. β
"Wait for the battle, we need your help. β
"Of course. β
Xing Meiyun was silent for a moment, and then said: "This time the incident was too sudden, it was not planned at all, because it was not able to shrink to a safe area in time, and the NTRS system has not yet been built, the non-combatants of the First Army may suffer heavy losses...... Is it the first time that Morita has been on the battlefield? I'm talking about the kind of battlefield where people actually die. β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
"Then be mentally prepared that you may see something you don't want to see later, and if it feels unacceptable, you can choose to stay in the cabin, I understand. β
Su Yun was also vaguely aware of the seriousness of the problem, and it seemed that the situation on the M101 volcanic island was probably even more troublesome than what Xing Meiyun said in the command tower.
But at this time, the last thing you can't lose is momentum.
"Don't worry, I'll be with you. β
"Good. β
Xing Meiyun said softly, sat on the cabin chair, and put on the silver helmet used in battle.
Su Yun didn't choose to stay in the control compartment and wait, but pushed the door and came to the deck, because half a minute ago, he received a synchronous boarding signal from Musashi, and the flying command ship didn't seem to intend to slow down. At this time, there was a cold hunting wind blowing in the air, and the M87 islands and reefs behind the command ship were already far away, and the 10,000-ton Songyuan-class giant ship had become as small as a sesame seed; in the sky on the right side of the command room, two jet aircraft were maintaining parallel speed with the hull of the ship, and were panning to the top and slowly landing.
These two aircraft are actually the maneuvering forms of the aircraft carriers Taiho and Shinano. Through these days, Su Yun has long been clear that in those first- and second-line towns, the characteristics of each ship type have already been infinitely subdivided and amplified, such as battleships focus on heavy armed firepower, cruisers and destroyers focus on mobile escort, and as for the aircraft carriers that assume the core responsibilities of the team, in addition to providing air power like traditional aircraft carriers, they also bear the responsibility of strategic deployment and transfer.
Their huge shipweds can be transformed from mothership to strategic maneuver at any time, allowing them to carry and fly at low and medium altitudes for short distances, quickly moving other members of the team along with them.
After all, in an emergency, for this kind of front-line town guard fleet, every second is incomparably precious.
The two aircraft stopped, the hatch opened, and a total of 14 people from the eighth detachment rushed out, and then the entire spacious and thin aircraft cockpit was folded and contracted, and in a few seconds it was reduced to a metal box with a volume of only 100 liters, and at the same time, the hull also changed, from the head structure of the aircraft back to the combat form of an aircraft carrier.
No one said a word during this process, and everyone quickly lined up and stood by in place, with great discipline.
Immediately afterward, Xing Meiyunqing's command came from the communication channel.
"Everyone is in a state of emergency combat readiness, the command ship will arrive on the battlefield in 3 minutes and 54 seconds, time is pressing, I will only say it once. The goal of our mission this time is to support the First Army, the landing site is the M101 volcanic island, and later the surface ships need to join the shore support as soon as possible, first of all, to ensure that all non-combatants evacuate the danger area, and the rest of the submarines will break through to the outer seas, and I will search and analyze the source of this attack as quickly as possible, and determine their coordinate location. After I gave the follow-up order, the submarine ships went to the problem sea area, ready to carry out deep-sea diving operations at any time, and found out the deep-sea mastermind who launched this attack.
"Understood!"
Uniform answers.
"Well, free to prepare. β
As the words fell, the rest of the people remained quiet, and the two aircraft carriers, Taiho and Izumo, deployed their catapult mounts and methodically dispatched a large number of drones to sweep towards the sea in front of them at extremely fast relative speed. At this time, through the canopy of the sky that was about to enter dusk, Su Yun could already faintly see the firelight on the horizon, as well as the slight explosion that appeared from time to time.
The command ship still maintained its speed and flew at a speed, but at this moment, the air wave dragging on the stern of the ship suddenly disappeared, and Su Yun immediately clearly felt the deceleration of the ship's hull, as well as a fleeting sound as if something had fallen into the water. At the same time, he also heard the cheers from Sao Hoshimi in the communication channel, and a few seconds later, the latter's figure crossed the huge wave on the sea, chasing and overtaking the low-flying command ship, like those carrier-based drones in the sky, speeding forward......
And just two nautical miles in front of it, there was a large black oppressive foreign body.
They were groups of deep-sea fleets, consisting of elite-class light cruisers and destroyers, on their way to the waters of the M101 volcanic island, where the longer-range deep-sea cruisers had already begun shelling the island. In Su Yun's view, he saw that in the distance, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft that were sent out had already launched an attack on them, and the other party naturally would not sit idly by, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns emitted bursts of explosions, forming a dense network of firepower in the sky, and shooting down a large number of attack planes in an instant.
And when the first unmanned attack aircraft began to drop bombs, the Musashi, located in the bow of the command ship, had already deployed a honeycomb missile swarm on the ship's installation amid the continuous explosion of fire. At the same time, Sao Hoshimi, who was traveling at nearly 200 knots per hour, had already rushed into the enemy line with billowing smoke, and each hand was holding an electromagnetic torpedo pulled from the ship's load.
"Indiscriminate coverage of the blow. β
Hoshimi ordered Musashi lightly.
This guy really doesn't look at his own sister as a sister when he fights.
Perhaps he also knew that the protection of the big break was the best protection, and Musashi, who was favored by Xingmei Sao in every way, naturally did not hesitate, so he opened up the small missile nest on the ship at that time, and a large piece of high-speed warhead dragged the smoke and dust to blast towards the sea area where the deep-sea fleet was located with a spiral position. Just when Su Yun wondered why these deep-sea miscellaneous fish were like blind men who were ignoring the command ship rushing two nautical miles away, and did not even have a decent artillery counterattack, the sea surface of about dozens of hectares had been evenly smashed and sprinkled by high-explosive missiles, turning into a sea of fire.
The sound of explosions continued.
The command ship did not stop, but slowly slowed down while driving, and no one paid attention to the situation of Sao Hoshimi, and the girl's status in the communication channel changed to temporary departure again.
I guess it's already broken......
Once you have passed through the outermost encirclement of the deep sea, the situation inside is quite complicated. With a large amount of deep-sea debris, clumps of pollutants and a large amount of turbulence and foam from the explosion, the outline of the volcanic island M101 is gradually revealed on the horizon of the bright sky in the distance, where there are still extremely subtle silent explosions from time to time, and it is clear that the battle is far from over.
As it got closer to the volcanic island, the command ship became slower and slower as it continued to slow down. In the distance, the vague outline of a deep-sea battleship can be seen at any time, as well as the shells that may whizz past at any time, but it is very strange that such a large target, such a large target, a real ship with a displacement of nearly a thousand tons, did not attract the attention of any deep-sea units. They still maintained their original goal: either to bombard the M101 in the direction or to engage in a grapple with the ship's maiden who came to meet the battle, but none of them even glanced at it.
Probably some kind of shielding device, right?
At this moment, Xing Meiyun's soft voice sounded again.
"The mission was temporarily changed, and the command of the First Army sent a request for support to the perimeter, and the submarine fleet did not go to the M101 volcanic island, but directly disembarked from the ship here. The target point has been marked on your tactical map, and there are currently a total of 5 targets, and you assign your own personnel to help, and the rest of the members, Musashi, Taiho, Shinano, Maya, and Mogami, are on standby. β
Under his order, the eighth detachment of 16 people, in addition to Musashi, two aircraft carriers and their frigates, the remaining five Akizuki-class destroyers, four I-class submarines, and the floating gunboat Tone Tsukuma, a total of 11 people, immediately went into action. One after another, they jumped from the overhanging area into the sea, plunged into the water and scattered in different directions.
"Xing Meijun, let me go too. β
Su Yun suddenly mentioned.
Although his Amagi ship is also a battleship-level strength, it is not a heavy firepower ship like Musashi, even if it is a submarine operation, it is completely competent, and what it really lacks is experience.
Xing Meiyun quickly gave a positive answer.
"It's okay, I'll also mark the mission point for you, you can choose where you want to go, just practice and familiarize yourself with the battle. (To be continued.) )
