118. Now is not the time to retreat

When the fleet sailed out of the relative area at an ultra-low speed of 18 knots, the entire fleet shrank into a double-vertical formation according to An Tong's suggestion, and at the same time released several ships responsible for vigilance arranged around the fleet, maintaining a safe distance of more than 500 meters from the warships, escorting the fleet to continue to advance, which is also the usual mode of escorting cargo ships and merchant ships, and the distance of 500 meters is mainly to let their net power field not interfere with various electronic instruments on board.

I don't know if their luck is good or bad, in the next period of time, they encountered five batches of deep fog, large and small, but the scale is very small, some scattered low-level deep fog certainly does not pose a threat to these six admirals, but it also slows down a lot of their progress, and when it gets dark, they only travel half of the scheduled voyage, and they don't even enter the reconnaissance radius of the probe.

"Tomorrow we need to be more efficient." An Tong said to the other admirals through his personal terminal: "In addition to the speed must be increased, I suggest that more ships be assigned to guard the perimeter of the fleet, I think everyone's supplies should be enough, right?" Then one person can assign a standard squad. ”

His so-called standard configuration team is 2-3 capital ships with 3-4 light ships, which is quite conventional but also the most adaptable configuration, and it is naturally the best choice to deal with various emergencies. As for the additional resource consumption brought about by strengthening the escort, An Tong believed that this would not bother them, and their destroyers must have carried enough fuel and supplies.

Naturally, no one objected to such a pertinent suggestion, and even Colonel Huck, who suffered the most, nodded forcefully, and was really embarrassed to let the fleet be slowed down by him alone.

After a relatively calm night, a series of battles began the next day.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock in the morning that An Tong finally sighed: "How many waves is this, 13 or 15?" He frowned tightly as he looked at the deep fog that was slowly sinking on the front and the shipwives who were already showing some fatigue.

In fact, not only him, but even the other 5 people also had extremely serious expressions, each of them probably guessed that the battle would be very intensive, and everything was deployed in advance at 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, but the frequency of the war was beyond the imagination of each of them, there were a total of 14 battles within 6 hours, an average of less than one in half an hour, and the scale was still increasing, from the small fish and shrimp at the beginning, to the back even the advanced masturbation level and tower level have emerged, Let the 6 ships responsible for the outer defense become more and more tight.

"Wasn't I overly optimistic?" An Tong smiled bitterly and looked at the scene displayed on the light curtain - piles of deep fog like sharks smelling of blood gathered like a fleet, and the whole fleet was like a weak seal.

Is this a true portrayal of the sea? This is the power contrast between humans and the deep mist? An Tong couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene, but he quickly shook his head and threw this cowardly thought out of his mind, those deep fogs within the range of the probe reconnaissance are not too troublesome to deal with with the strength of their fleet, and even he can solve it alone, but what really makes him feel heavy is that this is only the first step taken by human beings, and the Ogasawara Islands, which are located relatively close to the mainland, are already this scene, so what kind of scene will it be in the depths of the more distant Pacific Ocean?

It seems that there is still a long way to go to retake the ocean... An Tong pondered in his heart, put down the impetuousness caused by taking the first step before, and at the same time picked up his personal terminal and informed the other admirals of the current situation.

"It's just that there's resistance of this magnitude just in this position, and if we go deeper..."

"If we were limited to the current growth trend, we would be able to withstand it, but it is difficult to predict what the situation will be in the Ogasawara Islands... There's a deep fog there, long ago..."

The two passerby teammates first expressed their opinions, their military ranks and world rankings are higher than An Tong, but they are actually inferior to An Tong in terms of fleet strength, mainly relying on the total contribution value accumulated over the years to surpass An Tong in the ranking, so the unoptimistic view of the prospects here is understandable, after all, their fleets are slowly cultivated little by little, and it is really too difficult for them to explain in this kind of experimental action.

An Tong understood their difficulties and thoughts very well, so he just nodded silently, and did not say anything more to them, but asked the other three others.

"I'm not that pessimistic." The Eighth Admiral said, "Judging from the enemy's current combat strength, it still poses no threat to us. "So don't look at the eighth admiral's pessimistic face and always pessimistic expression, but he himself is quite optimistic and confident.

"I've finally made it here, of course... Vomit~~~" Colonel Huck seemed to be preparing an impassioned speech, but unfortunately he didn't learn how to talk while vomiting...

"I think so, no matter what is in Ogasawara, we still have to look at it after all." Shimada also said with great certainty that he is not very confident in the strength of his fleet, but he is very confident in this future brother-in-law...

"Okay, then in this case, I suggest a formation adjustment here, the No. 1 ship is in the center, the No. 2, 3, and 4 ships are in front of the No. 1 ship, and the left and right sides are deployed, and the No. 5 and No. 6 ships are deployed in a horizontal column behind the No. 1 ship, and the specific movement coordinates are as follows..."An Tong said, and then quickly reported the coordinates of the position adjustment of several ships, and adjusted the formation back to the original center of the Archangel, and the other 5 ships escorted the diamond-shaped formation around it.

He put the two admirals, who were already timid, at the rear, which must be the direction of least pressure, and this suggestion naturally relieved the two of them, and the other three did not object.

"Next is the assignment of the ship's mother, I will let my main fleet line up in a double vertical formation to open the way at the front, I wonder if the two colonels are willing to cover the flanks for me?" An Tong asked again.

"It's an honor." Colonel Days said with a smile, "I will let my most elite fleet guard your left flank." ”

"The right wing is handed over to me... Woo... Leave it to meβ€”" said Colonel Hul, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.

"So Lieutenant Colonel Shimada, can your fleet serve as a reserve in the middle?" An Tong asked again.

"No problem, but I suspect that this kind of thing will not be done well at my level, so why don't I let my fleet take the lead?" Shimada seriously proposed.

"It's okay, so be it, I'll give you advice." An Tong politely rejected him, then hung up the communication and summoned his ship girls.

"We are about to break into a dangerous zone that no one has set foot in for ten years, no one knows what kind of enemies and dangers lie ahead, and you will also be the first ship to step into this Jedi, this will be a mission of both glory and crisis..."He said this, paused, and carefully observed the reactions of the girls, except for Chao and Bailong, the two A-class guys who did not react, the faces of the other S-class ship girls were more or less excited.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a ship mother carrying history? There's an innate love for battles and honors... An Tong nodded, waved his big hand, and said aloud to everyone: "Go and enjoy the victory!" ”

The girls jumped into the sea one after another with great ambition, and even Qiuyue, who was seconded, was infected by everyone's atmosphere, and learned the cute cry of the little princess, holding her skirt and jumping directly into the sea from the deck.

At the end, it was Yamato, who had been the most active before, perhaps because the long-awaited battle was about to begin, and her heart calmed down, and such a change of mentality was in line with the requirements of a good warrior.

After everyone left the bridge, she silently moved to An Tong's side, took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around An Tong's neck, put her forehead on An Tong's forehead, and said a little shyly: "I don't know why, when I was about to attack, I suddenly worried about your safety." ”

An Tong smiled and pinched her face, and said: "Don't worry about me, I have the armor of the flying dragon here, and those low-level ship girls to protect, it is much safer than you, it is you who are really careful, even if you have the advantage of probe reconnaissance, but there are still many accidents that may happen, such as what I mentioned in the tactics class... Hmm..."

Yamato directly interrupted An Tong's next topic of the big scenery with a decisive fragrant kiss, and at the end, as if he was angry that he didn't understand the amorous feelings, he gently bit his tongue with his teeth, and then let go of him with an unwilling look, smiled again, and said, "Then Admiral, I'm leaving." ”

With that, she jumped off the deck with the red parasol and merged into the array that was waiting for her.

"Phew, I always feel like we haven't attacked together like this in a long time!" The silly girl moved her limbs, and finally adjusted the electromagnetic main gun, with an eager expression.

"Whenever we get together, we always seem to be able to do something earth-shattering, right?" War-weary also smiled and said, "I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." ”

"Ha, don't you say that, aren't you still nervous when you don't see the two newcomers?" Lexington smiled proudly, then glanced at Shozuru, who was a little nervous from being involved in an operation of this magnitude for the first time.

"Even if it's a newcomer! I'm not going to throw in the towel! Xianghe said unadmittedly.

So with a burst of laughter and bickering, the most elite fleet of the No. 16 Town Guard, which had created three miracles on the race days in Africa, Australia, and Okinawa, set off.
