36. Today is not happy at all
The current combat power of the Sixteenth Town Guard, if you only look at the type of ship, this lineup can only be regarded as so-so and barely passable, but if you take into account the level of these ships... The configuration of the sixteenth town guard mansion is enough to be called luxurious, not to mention that such a configuration is still a probationary period, even if the official admiral works hard for a long time, he may not be able to make it up, two S-rank, which is too difficult for ordinary people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At least in Africa, among the 386 trainee admirals, only Su Wanwan, who has two S-level S ranks, Kaga and Xili, can be compared to An Tong; Among the more than 3,300 people in the African theater, there are only a few admirals who are stronger than them.
And this is still without considering the specially developed equipment of Higra, if you count the improvement of those equipment, there should be no suspense for An Tong's strength to crush Su Wanwan, the first newcomer is almost a sure thing, and even a little further can surpass Meng Shao, who is still known as the star of hope in Africa although his strength has been greatly damaged.
However, this is also in this relatively peaceful war zone in Africa, after all, this is a place known as a novice village, compared with those war-scorched places in Europe and Asia, the overall strength of the admiral here is weaker, after all, those places can get more resources, and they can also capture more advanced cores, coupled with the long-term baptism of war, the strength of the admiral is bound to be strong.
Even the first admiral of Africa, nicknamed the African Great Chieftain Colonel Lu Momo Zaga, who is often mentioned as the masculine Dagen Hangma, can only barely be regarded as a middle-class if he goes to other war zones.
Therefore, An Tong, who is well aware of this gap, is not complacent about the current achievement, he knows that he is still a small shrimp among the 25683 admirals today, and he can't even compare to Dagen Hangma, not to mention other powerful admirals, and even bigseven?
Now that you know the gap, let's work hard to make up for the gap, An Tong has already drawn up a sprint plan for the final stage in advance, using the super high combat effectiveness of Des Moines and Johnston as much as possible to carry out those combat missions with more generous rewards, and then send the extra ship girl to carry out reconnaissance and escort missions, and accumulate capital together from many aspects.
While the other shipwrews are working hard, Higra is also working hard, she took a bunch of materials that An Tong spent 3000 resources in exchange for, trying to create a new ship suit for the DPRK, according to An Tong's expectations, he wants to make the DPRK a reliable and powerful combat force, which also really costs her a lot of thought and time, before the completion of the new ship installation of the DPRK, she can only do some reconnaissance missions in the safe area.
As for An Tong himself, it is impossible to be idle, now that he has a basic battlefield command system at hand, he can control the battle situation several times more than other admirals, this huge advantage is naturally to be well played, so he is trying to learn all kinds of command skills of the ship, while trying to find a combat routine that suits him.
The current battle of the Sixteenth Town Guard Mansion still relies to a large extent on the combat power of the ship mother itself and the leading advantage of the equipment, and An Tong is still a support role for the time being, so he wants to try to let himself play a more role.
This work is a big project, the ship girl is completely different from ordinary human soldiers or traditional ships, commanding them is a new challenge, and the experience of other admirals, mainly focused on the daily training of the AB two-level ship girl, in fact, the battlefield command, all they can do is to order the ship girl to open a certain formation before the communication is interrupted, and fight according to a fixed pattern.
This effect is obviously not too good, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no matter how good the plan is, it may become a piece of waste paper at any time, so An Tong must combine his own reality and slowly try and explore.
The next day, the five shipwives of the No. 16 town guard formed a two-patrol, three-expulsion squad and went to sea to carry out a difficult combat mission.
The specific location and deployment of troops in the place had been reconnoitred yesterday, and it was a powerful fleet consisting of one battleship, three light cruisers, and two destroyers, which was already a boss-level existence for the average midship-trainee admiral.
An Tong was not too worried, he believed that his ship girls could deal with such an enemy, and he also formulated specific plans and strategies in advance, and after several rehearsals, it was not a big problem.
Now it's time for the two sides to go toe-to-toe.
"The whole fleet maintains a speed of 4, follows A1 to the G4 coordinate point, deploys formation 1, and pays attention to the enemy's situation." An Tong gave orders to the ship girls through the communicator, although his orders were a little rough and did not conform to the command style of the traditional navy, but this was not the point, as long as it worked.
In accordance with his instructions, the shipwives quickly formed a straight line on the sea, and looked down from a high altitude, this straight line happened to be across the route of the enemy fleet, and the opposite side was also lined up in a single vertical formation, which also means that the fleet of the sixteenth town guard has seized the T head position in advance.
"The speed was reduced to 1, the muzzle of the gun was turned 135 degrees to the southeast, the distance was 500 meters, and the fire command of A1 was obeyed, and the enemy battleship was attacked first." An Tong ordered again.
De Moines, codenamed A1, quickly said that the main guns were all aimed in the direction of the enemy, and responded: "135 degrees to the southeast, 6000 distance, ready to engage the enemy." β
On the light curtain in front of An Tong, in addition to the direct picture of the scene, there is also a large strategic map, representing that the light points of the two sides are slowly approaching, and finally after the red light point crosses a marking, Des Moines's voice came from the communicator:
"Fire!"
With her command, with a range of 5,000 meters, she was the first to fire the first shot, and the cannonball whistled and drew a trajectory in the air, landing on the bow of the deep fog battleship.
"The rest of the personnel maintain formation and wait for the enemy to come into range before firing." An Tong added an order next to him.
Because Higra is making every effort to build a ship for the DPRK, Antong's other low-level ship girls have no new equipment for the time being, so they can only wait in this situation.
De Moines fought very well, the fire was as fierce as ever, the shells sprayed out like machine guns, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "The enemy is being cleared!" β
However, the Deep-Mist battleship on the opposite side had a shield far superior to that of other ships, and under the overwhelming firepower of Des Moines, it was able to maintain its shield and prepare to return fire.
"The enemy is going to fight back! Be careful to circumvent! An Tong hurriedly shouted.
"The sky is going to be right~ ahhh It hurts! There was a scream from De Moin, which frightened An Tong and hurriedly looked at the status display of the ship next to him, fortunately, just some slight abrasions.
"Be careful! And hurry up and get rid of the battleship! β
"Inflict heavy blows on the enemy! One more shot and they're done! Des Moines replied.
"Don't learn from that lying tankman! You're a boat! An Tong roared angrily.
At this time, the distance between the two sides had approached 3,000 meters, and it entered the range of the C-class heavy cruiser Niang, so the unintelligent ship Niang adjusted the turret and began to attack the enemy according to the established procedure.
It's a pity that both firepower and accuracy are much inferior to Des Moines, and scattered shells fall on the enemy's side and don't have much effect.
"The enemy's light ships began to break through, A3, hurry up and seize the torpedo position, A4, A5, cover A1." An Tong noticed the change in the battle situation and hurriedly issued another order.
Johnston, codenamed A3, quickly sailed to the side of the battlefield, while the two D-class ships A4A5 marched directly in front of Des Moines, waiting blankly for the enemy to rush up, and the original formation had completely dispersed.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have played any single-column battle lines with small boats..."An Tong said with some self-reproach.
Fortunately, although his battlefield command was relatively naΓ―ve, the ship's mother was strong enough, and the battleship on the opposite side finally couldn't withstand the surging fire of Des Moines and slowly fell, and the enemy light cruiser who tried to pull the distance with a breakthrough was also blown up by Johnston torpedoes.
As several huge jets of water slowly fell, the battle was settled.
"It's better to torpedo! Fortunately, in the end, the little princess was equipped with an extra set of torpedo launchers..."An Tong was completely relieved at this time, "No wonder Japan is so superstitious about this thing, the power is really good, the only pity is that it is too slow to reload." β
With the fall of the last Deep Mist, the battle ended once and for all, and at the cost of a Des Moines abrasion and a minor injury to a D-class destroyer, he was rewarded with 500 resources and 30 contributions.
The reward is not bad, but An Tong is very dissatisfied with his rookie-level performance, this is the first time he has commanded such a large-scale battle, exposing a lot of problems, such as the arrangement of the formation, the grasp of the timing of the battle, the use of the ship's mother, etc., and finally relied on the strong combat power of the senior ship's mother.
For a battle like this, where the enemy is discovered in advance, it is best to find a favorable terrain to reproduce a small-scale Surigao, of course, the command and coordination skills required for that level of battle are not currently available in the Sixteenth Town Guard.
Aside from these, the low-level ship's weak combat power and the inconvenience of command also exist, and An Tong feels that if he wants to use these ships well, there is still a lot of homework to be done, of course, the equipment on the Higra side also has to keep up.
"It's still easy to use as a senior ship." An Tong felt a slight headache when he thought about how to command the low-level ship in the future, he turned his head to look at Chao, who had been standing beside him, in order to let her learn as soon as possible, An Tong let her stay in the town guard mansion today, and had been watching this battle.
"Did you learn from you?" An Tong asked.
"Hmm." Chao nodded lightly and didn't answer any more.
An Tong has long been accustomed to this situation.,The two evolved ship girls in the town guard mansion have their own communication problems.,Johnston has a lot of things to say.,But the language ability is insufficient.,In the end, the complete words are rarely spoken.,Every day I use mood words to express my thoughts.,It sounds like it's deliberately cute.γ
As for Chao, this girl's language ability should be no problem, but her personality doesn't seem to be very talkative? Anyway, after she came to the town guard mansion, the most she did was to stand beside An Tong in a daze, staring at An Tong all the time, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Although it is a joy to be paid such attention by a beautiful girl, but if it has been like this, even An Tong feels a little uncomfortable, but thinking about the experience of this ship girl coming here, he can't refuse it.
Chao is really a distressing girl.
