Chapter 7 RA Combat - Night Battle, One Hundred Secrets and One Neglect
The desperate calmly greet the moment of fate when the sea buries everything, the fragments of defeat and grief......
The deep-sea revenge ship explosion and the deep-sea revenge ship attack that arrived in the night broke through the much weaker resistance than during the day, and the eight aircraft carriers and the accompanying ships were all exposed to their armament. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Enemy aircraft ......"
Xianghe could no longer hear the shouts of the crew running beside him, and the rapid sound of breaking the sky indicated that the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft had arrived in the sky above them.
The bomb landed on her deck, and even the armored flight deck was still inevitably broken, and she herself felt a burning sensation in her chest.
"It's over...... Akagi-sama...... How did you manage to stay at Midway? ”
Looking back, bright flares shot into the sky from behind, and the accompanying ships led by Tsukuma fired a large number of flares in the dark night. The spherical carrier-based aircraft of the Deep Sea Fleet thus emerged from the darkness.
At this moment, many people have realized that the carrier-based aircraft of the deep-sea fleet can fly unmanned, so naturally they do not need to be visually aimed, and they can fly here accurately, proving that the enemy has other ways to lock on to them. Firing flares and turning on searchlights will not put them in a more dangerous situation, because if they do not organize a strong counterattack, they will be wiped out in an instant.
"It was probably the least likely battle of my life to win, or survive. I thought that if I survived that battle, I would be able to call myself the new 'Akagi'. ”】
Shotsuru never understood Akagi's answer at the time, as if the Akagi-sama she admired would think that he would die before the Battle of Midway, and no one would believe it, and even after the defeat of Midway, many members of the organization could not believe that the Battle of the First and Second Flights would be lost.
In a similar situation, only Shohe could not think of any reason to pluck up the courage to believe that his side could win, the Battle of Midway was an "accident" caused by an intelligence error, but the Battle of Rabaul was a head-to-head confrontation with absolute differences, and there was no chance of any possibility.
The slightly reddened pupils quickly turned back to their usual black, even if Xianghe unconsciously gathered a lot of negative emotions, her mental state was about to collapse, and she would not have further "assimilated". Just because she doesn't try to transfer her resentment to others, even she doesn't know that in despair, she still has the only hope left.
The fighters of the Taiho and Yunhe quickly cleared the first wave of enemy aircraft, and the losses were twice as many as in the past, deeply stinging the air carrier girls. The attack planes sent by Xianghe and Zuihe before also lost contact one after another, and the entire dark night sky with no clouds in sight had completely fallen into the hands of the deep-sea fleet.
Kii was also clearing out the battleship-class enemy fleet that was blocking his path when he noticed a change in the sky. In the middle of the night, Kii, who was bombarding the deep-sea warship with his main gun, captured the movement of the carrier-based aircraft with his excellent electro reconnaissance team, and although it was far away, Kii had a premonition that a large-scale air battle had broken out.
The air carrier Niang, who was unable to rush to the front line of the air carrier war to support her side, vented her anger on the battleship class, and Kii felt deeply uneasy. "They're going to be wiped out, and the empty mother who can't fight at night can't do anything."
Kii clasped her hands together and silently blessed the troops facing the Mt. Missile, and there was only so much she could do.
I can only pray that they will survive the night battle as much as possible, and I can only pray that the regular air mother of the ヲ level will lose their eyesight in the night battle...... A bunch of ridiculous wishes. But Kii also has the help she can, even if it may be equally useless.
["Order the evacuation of all deep-sea submarines located in the waters off Rabaul."] ”】
Kii didn't know how effective her orders would be in the presence of the central suihime, and even she didn't know if there were any other night reconnaissance methods for the deep-sea fleet besides submarine lurking and tracking, but that was the only help she could provide.
――――
"How many enemy planes are this? How do you feel like you'll never be able to finish the fight? ”
The flying eagle with blood on her forehead is the first one of the air carriers to hold on to the exit, under the continuous attacks of carrier-based aircraft, she didn't even notice that she fell in the arms of her subordinates, the times eliminated her light air carrier too quickly, even if she fought to the moment of burning out of life, the outcome of defeat will not change
The shackles of fate have long since locked this sea area that has been mired in large-scale air battles, and it is not necessary to repeat history like Akagi's insistence on fighting the Battle of Midway, as long as the rules of the chessboard are met, the battle will evolve into a repetition of history. The miracle of reversing fate was brought about by the invincible Kaga in the past, and this time Akagi, who controls the side of the IJN Combined Fleet, has no way to break the established fate at a disadvantage.
The time was calculated just right by the opponent opposite Akagi, even if "God" left Akagi a day, she still had a chance to rescue Shohe, Zuihe and others who were in a desperate situation.
The ruthless hammer continued to fall on the defenseless hull of the carrier, and the eagle, whose core had been shattered, ushered in the end of her destiny after death. The hull continued to be subjected to bomb and torpedo fire, and the 27,000-ton hull was cut into three parts in the explosion as two spherical carrier-based aircraft collided on her side.
In the midst of the flames and explosions, the Eagle was the first to sink into the sea. The regular air carriers who had achieved a victory let out a neat cheer in the distant assembly area, and the balance of victory had completely sunk to their side, and the battle would be over before dawn came.
In such a way that one side is completely sunk......
"The Flying Eagle War sank, and ships such as Chikuma and Akizuki were hit hard."
Xianghe doesn't need to be reported by her subordinates, she can see the fire behind her, after the third wave of attacks, the ships on her side are more or less damaged, and the carrier-based aircraft that took off urgently have not yet reached the enemy fleet, even if they provide navigation support, they can't reach the regular air carrier fleet behind the layers of enemy aircraft.
"Huh? What's going on? ”
Xianghe noticed the movement under the surface of the sea, and her attention was focused on the sky, although she sensed the swimming of deep-sea submarines, she did not have the leisure energy to drive them away, and she did not have such a good anti-submarine uniform.
"Deep-sea submarines retreating?"
Her eyes could not see the deep-sea submarines swimming in the dark sea, and she could faintly detect multiple ships moving towards the periphery through her electric detection energy.
"You don't need instant observation or ......," Xianghe vaguely realized what she had been negligible about—why the Ary-level regular air carriers could accurately hit them in the dark night. If the spherical carrier-based aircraft in the deep sea do not have night vision, how can the deep-sea fleet, which has not even sent reconnaissance aircraft, lock their position?
Submarine.
"The whole fleet increases its speed and turns 20 degrees! Stop using illuminated weapons! ”
Xianghe re-entered the communication band that the carrier mother had built with each other, but unfortunately her orders could not reach the ears of others, and everyone was busy preparing for the next wave of enemy aircraft.
Switching his field of view to the multiple meteors that had risen into the air urgently, Xianghe clearly noticed that the formation of the subsequent enemy planes had spread out significantly, and this time all the enemy planes had dropped their flight altitude, so that their carrier-based planes were not all shot down again.
"The enemy can't see what we're doing?" Xianghe estimated his own losses, 11 meteors, 9 gales, 7 meteors that took off and attacked, and 12 gale that cruised around the fleet. This is half of her strength, and the situation of the other air carriers is similar, although they have not carried out systematic night air combat exercises, but everyone can guide the pilots back to the safe route in time, and the total number of planes that take off and fall into the sea is less than 10.
The chaotic thoughts slowly became clear, and Xianghe's anxious and desperate mental condition calmed down. "According to the data, it is estimated that there may be 6 to 7 more waves of enemy aircraft, and any one of them will achieve the previous effect. None of our side can resist it. But suppose they really lose their 'sight' and are in the same situation as us. I can keep it up! ”
It's not a desperate rush, now Xianghe has found a way to keep some people alive, although in the face of a large-scale search for enemy aircraft, it is certainly impossible to hide in the dark, but there is a great chance of delaying until the next air battle.
She didn't think about how to fight Xianghe in the next air mother duel, she only thought about how to protect as many people as possible in this air battle.
"Zuihe! A desperate battle will definitely wipe out the whole army, and immediately change course. Enemy aircraft have now temporarily lost information about our bearings. ”
Zuihe didn't even pay attention to the communication band with her sister alone, she heard the shouts from her sister and understood the changes brought about by the departure of the deep-sea submarine.
"But we've already sent out the Meteor attack planes urgently, how can they return if they get a distance?"
"Don't care about their lives or deaths.,It's perfect to interfere with the judgment of the ヲ-level regular air carrier.。 Everyone dies and some people are sacrificed, you should know how to choose such a multiple-choice question. ”
"I can't forgive myself for our misjudgment, to make our pilots bear, but I follow your orders." For the first time, Zui-tsuru developed a grudge against her sister. If Shozuru hadn't told her about these changes on the battlefield, and as a result, everyone would have died tragically on the sea according to their original fate, and no one would have held a grudge against anyone's mistakes, and everyone would have been samurai loyal to the empire.
"If you have any extra words, wait until after the battle, or we can talk slowly on the shore of the Santu River. The priority is to regroup the fleet and get rid of the next wave of enemy aircraft. ”
――――
"What's going on? The submarine is disobedient again? "The central squire relied on the mine patrols placed in the detachments to observe the entire Rabaul sea area of the submarines withdrawing, and refused his own order to return.
"Insufficient permissions? …… That damn diving perch! I should have gotten rid of that disobedient guy a long time ago! Hiding in the Atlantic, he secretly served Kii! "The central perch has a hideous face, and her sharp teeth are gritted loudly, and she can't wait to catch the diving perch right now and eat the other party alive.
After waving his finger to summon the light screen and connecting with the harbor water ghost, the central perch introduced the current changes. "Can you activate new equipment for night battles? I remember you studied this kind of weaponry. ”
The harbor water ghost shook her head helplessly, and in front of her was another failed deep-sea squid-type torpedo. "Our mother-sama has locked up those technologies, and at least until we develop the Deep Sea Habitat for Night Warfare, we don't even think of using infrared and heat-sensing weapons. You've also seen a deep-sea squid torpedo, and I can't crack the deep-sea technology contained in it. ”
The central Qiji didn't have the heart to listen to the complaints of the harbor water ghosts, and she was in a terrible mood now.
