67. A wave of recklessness in case of indecision

At this moment, in the sea where cannibalism had been staged, five huge cocoons were wriggling violently on the surface of the sea, and the black phagogy formed transparent blood vessels on its surface, and the indescribable black substance was flowing rapidly in it, and the speed was getting faster and faster...

Just as the sun had completely set and the sea was once again completely swallowed up by darkness, the surface of the five cocoons suddenly rose high, the surface was stretched to the extreme, and with the muffled sound of leather being torn, a tall and thin figure stood up from the cocoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has an appearance that is almost indistinguishable from that of human women, with long white hair stained with a little black slime, scattered behind it, and wearing a white robe that is completely opposite to black, forming a kind of extreme contrast; The indifferent eyes stared silently into the distance, there was not the slightest emotion in them, like the eyes of a puppet, just an ornament; The face is as grim as it is carved out of stone.

Although it has a human appearance, it cannot find even a trace of human flavor in it.

Behind it, like a ship girl, it carried a set of jet-black ship uniforms, and the pitch-black muzzle had a color darker than the night, and it was even more conspicuous at night.

It waited patiently for the other four identical creatures to break out of its cocoon, then pointed in the direction of the Red Sea, and then suddenly turned into a black and white shadow and galloped away into the distance.

"The probe has scanned five units and is rapidly approaching the Bab el-Mandeb Strait." An Tong received the message from the probe and looked at the time again, it was less than two hours before he discovered the anomaly of the deep fog, and he was still on his way to the final line of defense.

"It only took such a short time..."His face looked a little solemn, and he watched the five red points of light on the light curtain moving straight towards the final line of defense at a speed visible to the naked eye, and continued: "The speed is about 35 knots, so fast... And not at all interested in us? ”

"A new type of enemy has been detected, and it is inferred that it is a high-speed battleship, and it is initially judged that it has a different behavior pattern from the past, so please be careful." An Tong didn't forget to report to the raid detachment.

The battle over there was progressing more smoothly than he had here, and the defense forces of the deep fog had been moved far, far away, and it would take at least 14 hours or so to return to the dock at half speed at night, leaving a lot of room for the night attack detachment.

The key point now is whether An Tong can withstand these five menacing deep fogs.

After a while, he received another communication from Higra, informing him that the enemy was likely to evolve to the existing situation, that the threat was great, and that it was best for him to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, if he could.

"What will happen to them if I'm gone?" An Tong only replied to this sentence, and then cut off the communication, asking him to abandon his ship girls to survive alone at such a critical moment, and he absolutely disagreed.

But that didn't mean he would let his guard down, and the information Higra provided in advance was crucial enough to give him a rough idea of the enemy's strength.

"If I had to choose the direction of evolution... I would choose to increase speed, improve observation, increase anti-torpedo protection ... Correspondingly, perhaps, part of the protection against shells will be abandoned. As he spoke, he looked at Des Moines and Chao, and the two heavy cruisers with strong firepower would be the key players tonight.

"If only there was a battleship, the lack of firepower could be compensated for a lot..."An Tong said with a little regret, the enemy's ability to evolve on the spot was indeed a bit beyond his expectations, and the corresponding advance preparation was missing this link.

While he was pondering tactics, the Dreadful was already near the final line of defense, and the remaining low-ranking ship wives from the previous battle were already waiting there.

"Everyone turns off the searchlights, and everything is under my command." An Tong gave the first order.

Although the probe could not transmit real-time footage due to the darkness, the scanning function was still there, and based on this, he believed that he still had the advantage of reconnaissance.

Next, An Tong began to nervously set up the defensive line, according to the probe's prediction, the enemy would arrive on the battlefield in about two hours, and he still had some time.

The shipwives were divided into four detachments by him, three of which were arranged in the front, left, and right directions of the route of the deep fog, and when the enemy came, they would be attacked from three directions, and the most critical two heavy patrols were arranged in the rear of the defensive line, and their range and firepower were the key factors to block the enemy.

As for his own Dread, it was at the rear, not because he was afraid, but because he intended to make the Dreadful the last barrier after the enemy broke through the defensive line.

After arranging everything, Antong turned to Kaga and said, "Miss Kaga, you don't have any combat power at night, so..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Kaga stretch out two fingers and gently cover his lips.

"Uhhh

"Anjun! Please make sure to keep me by your side. Kaga's eyes were full of determination, and his face was full of pride that could not be refused, "Even if I am useless, I can sail for you, so please let me play this last bit of value!" ”

Speaking of which, what else can An Tong say?

When the conversation between the two ended, the final silence fell on the defensive line, which would be the last peaceful time in this noisy night.

Three hours later, although there seemed to be no movement on the sea, through the reconnaissance of the probe, An Tong knew that the enemy had quietly come to him.

"Come on, come on, come on!" He shouted in a low voice, watching the red dots of light representing the enemy gradually approach the red line he had drawn, and sweat gradually oozed from his palms.

Finally, after all the light points in the five columns of the formation passed the red line representing the range of the torpedo, An Tong gave the order to attack:

"The first team, 105 degrees to the southeast, fired torpedoes; The second team, in the direction of 193 degrees to the southwest, fired torpedoes! Third team, fire torpedoes directly in front of you! ”

Bang bang, after a series of torpedoes entering the water, An Tong continued to order: "Fourth team, according to the coordinates I gave you, shoot freely!" ”

The roaring artillery sound reminded me one after another, and the final offensive and defensive battle of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait began.

Although the deep fog on the opposite side may have strengthened the vision at night, it is certainly not as good as the scanning of the probe, and through accurate coordinate calculations, the first salvo of Des Moines and Chao hit, and the high-level deep fog that rushed to the front suddenly sounded a clanging sound, and then there was a roar of explosion.

It seems that the ability of these deep fogs is not too unexpected by An Tong, they really don't have as strong a shield as the one of the Sho class, and they were penetrated in the first salvo, directly causing damage, which forced the speed of the deep fog to slow down, and the ship behind him began to burst into flames.

This is simply the best target for the night, Des Moines's rapid-fire cannon naturally will not miss such a good opportunity, the cannon sound continues to sound, the cannonballs in the night sky draw a line of fire, crazy pouring on the head of the deep mist.

At this time, the deep fog, who were about to return fire, found that the torpedo had already come to them...

In order to avoid the torpedoes, the deep fog who had planned to break through the defense line was forced to slow down, and although the torpedoes did not hit, they effectively stopped their advance momentum and forced them to stop.

The Mist had to adjust their formation, and the five battleships began to line up, ready to concentrate their firepower on the Des Moines, which was going on a frenzied output.

"Idiot, what kind of solo vertical are you playing even if you're a ship girl?" An Tong scolded secretly, and then ordered: "Xili, little princess, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Solomon's nightmare, let you see it!" Xi Li muttered something in his mouth, but he was suddenly pulled by someone and almost took him to his stomach.

"Wow! Don't pull people around! poi! ”

"Woo whoa!" The little princess pulled Xili and quickly cut to the side of the deep mist battle column.

"Find a random one to hit the POI?"

"Oh! Oh! ”

At the same time, the other low-level ships also began to bombard, although they were in a hurry to hit and kill, but they made the scene extremely chaotic, and shells flew everywhere from all directions, so that the deep fog that was just about to prepare for a counterattack was forced to turn into a defensive state again.

And then the torpedoes of Johnston and Yutachi came again ...

After a huge column of water, the imposing Deep Sea Five Tigers showed their first battle damage, and the deep fog that was set on fire by Des Moines and Chao first was hit by a torpedo because of the drop in speed, and it may have been strengthened by lightning protection, and it must also fall under this repeated attack!

After all, it is a powerful acid torpedo, and although it has killed more Japanese than Americans in history, it is really a formidable weapon here.

However, the fifth of the four heavenly kings was solved at the beginning, and it didn't make An Tong relax, although the scene was very chaotic, he still found something wrong through the scanning of the probe.

The deep fog was not so much hit by a torpedo as it was hit by itself! The purpose is obvious, to clear the way for fellows!

Because this group of deep fog is trapped in such a complex situation, the simple brain circuits are not enough, they have already made the wrong judgment that the enemy's strength is stronger than them, and they plan to forcibly achieve their strategic goals regardless of sacrifice!

"Damn it! These bastards are going to be reckless! Give me all the ones at the front! An Tong hurriedly ordered, and it didn't matter that the other shipwives couldn't hear his orders at all.

At this time, the remaining four deep fogs actually leaned together, hugged into a ball, and rushed towards the direction of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait!
