The Murdock and several of her detachments are like the undead hovering between the Marshall Islands and the Hawaiian Islands, no matter how hard the Combined Fleet tries, even if it sinks the outlying islands at the cost of Hiei. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This curtain of steel between the two seas still cannot be lifted.

The deep-sea fleet can continue to build new mass-produced ships on the Hawaiian Islands, and until August 1, even the aircraft carrier mothers are starting to feel tired, and their pilots are greatly reduced.

The more they try to break through the last barrier of the deep-sea fleet, the more they will be dragged into a war of attrition, which is very unfavorable for the entire IJN combined fleet.

So—

The water ghosts of the deep sea fleet must be destroyed, and by the way, the ship's mother and navy soldiers who died directly or indirectly at her hands will be blinded.

Although Kii fought twice after arriving at the temporary berth in the Marshall Islands, she failed to meet the mooring water ghosts on both occasions, and although she easily wiped out the deep-sea fleet detachment with multiple warships as the core by herself, the effect was not obvious, and it only made the enemy cruising at sea a little less.

"Admiral Kie, it seems that your former friend does not intend to fight you to the death in the Marshall Seas."

Sato Gonjun is the kind of bad guest who can laugh out loud at the funeral, and unlike many of the crew members of the Kii, he does not have the slightest sense of urgency that is close to the decisive battle, on the contrary, he has been making jokes more and more excessively these days. Just yesterday, I was caught on the head by an angry Kii with a box of biscuits.

"Don't say it, I have to work as hard as they do, I can't defeat the water ghosts alone. The water ghost of the berth had a tendency to bully the weak and fear the hard before she was alive, and she did not see her retreat decisively every time reinforcements from our army arrived or the formation was completed. She's not going to fight to the death with others. ”

On the one hand, Kii couldn't bear to hear about her own sinking ship again, and on the other hand, she was also troubled by the bad character of the Moorland Water Ghost, who didn't eat the temptation strategy at all, and the battlefield mobility was completely in her hands. It can be said that at night without air supremacy, the moored water ghost and her fleet can inflict considerable losses on the combined fleet at any time.

"I say, if the Moored Water Spirit appears, with the support of the aircraft carrier, can you defeat her?"

Sato Gonjun probably had some good idea again, deliberately fishing for Kii's appetite.

"Probably not...... Although the armor of the moored water ghost is not particularly thick, she is a base-type perch, and she has a large number of shipburst planes that can be directly called, and the ship's guns are also twice as powerful as mine. ”

If she can really sink the Moorland Ghost in the waters around the Marshall Islands, then what awaits her will be the central Suhime and all Hawaiian ships of the Deep Sea Fleet ready to go. That is, the battle to determine which power will be in charge of the Pacific in the future.

The enemy is stronger than the other, and the battleships on his side are sinking one after another, and the burden that falls on Kii's shoulders is constantly increasing. She is the flagship of the IJN Combined Fleet with an undefeated record and a record of no injuries, and with Nagato's death, she has become a vital spiritual pillar for the entire IJN Combined Fleet.

As soon as she appeared, even the surviving crew of the Hiei, who were immersed in grief, would collectively stand up and salute Kii. She is like a walking naval flag, with victory ahead, and everyone believes in Kii's unique power.

"As you told me, you can't defeat the Docker Water Ghost one-on-one on your own. Whether it's Yamato, King Kong, and Haruna, they're all teammates you'll need to rely on in the future. I can come up with a strategy, but it's up to you to figure out how to defeat the Moordi Ghost. ”

"On my own......"

Gonjun Sato replaced Kii with new hot coffee and went to inspect other departments on the ship. He still didn't say that there was any way to accurately intercept the moored water ghosts.

When Kii closed his eyes, he could still recall the time when he was fighting against the battleship Suhime, and he kept firing naval guns in an attempt to stop the battleship Suhime. Although it was not obvious in that battle, her naval guns also had a continuous firing limit. If there is another long battle, it is likely that the previous embarrassment will happen again.

At this moment, an urgent telegram from the headquarters was delivered to Kii, who read the translation again and again, and Kii almost knocked over the teacup in his hand in shock.

The telegram said that a force of deep-sea ships with the presence of unidentified large destroyers had been witnessed. Sousuke Takayanagi has ordered all aircraft carriers to return to their temporary ports, and all of them except for the Eagle sisters have returned to their anchorages in the Solomon Islands. No one wants to once again learn the anti-air combat capabilities of the air defense Qi Ji against the sky, the pilots and the new carrier-based aircraft are expensive resources, and 30 carrier-based aircraft were shot down at a time. Not only will their aircraft carrier mother feel distressed, but even Sousuke Takayanagi will not agree to make such an obviously big loss gamble, the probability that the other party is an air defense Qiji is too high.

Kii soon encountered a small deep-sea force with multiple warships, and from what she detected by her teleprobe, it was revealed that the opposing side had a large number of ships. Kii then took off three reconnaissance planes, wanting to know the specific situation of the enemy. Most of the main guns are reloaded with armor-piercing shells, and her target is the opponent's multiple battleships.

The Ninth Sentai was accompanied by a group of light cruisers and destroyers, including Kawauchi. Kii immediately relayed the situation to all the ships accompanying her, and her main guns were also in a state of readiness, waiting to lock on to the enemy's specific position with reconnaissance planes at any time.

"Report, Admiral Kiai. I found a special enemy ship on my side. ”

Kii immediately switched her field of vision, and through her reconnaissance plane, she could vaguely see a unique ship mixed with enemy ships, which should be a destroyer.

"This is the Kii, Miss Kawauchi, please inform your Admiral, Commander Takayanagi immediately. We were confronted by the special destroyer that had damaged the carrier-based aircraft crew in Port Vila. ”

Kawauchi, who was on the other side of the call, had not yet recovered from the excitement of the battle, and when he heard that he had encountered the enemy's Qi Ji, he suddenly lost his sound. After she put down the radio, she hurriedly summoned the herald to send an urgent telegram to Sousuke Takayanagi.

Kii is actually not nervous at all, first of all, deep-sea ships can't attack her, and secondly, they don't have aircraft carriers here, so they don't have to be afraid of the other party's anti-sky air defense capabilities at all.

"North, Oi. You work with Kawauchi, Agano, and Noshiro to put pressure on the enemy fleet. It's up to me to meet the battleship and the big destroyer. ”

Kii seems to have forgotten that the information mentions that many carrier-based planes desperately dropped bombs, but they could not cause damage to the air defense Qi Ji.

Kii, who is full of energy, is more than 30,000 meters away and hits the bridge of a battleship. Her accuracy depends on the guarantee of the electric detection team, and she can reach a very high level even without passing through the reconnaissance plane.

The air defense Qi Ji had already discovered the fleet led by Kii with her unique radar, but she thought that the chances of IJN's poor electric scouts finding her were low, so she didn't turn around in time.

Deep-sea ships, including the battleship class, have no ability to think, and after being attacked by Kii, their first reaction is to retreat, and then they find that there are other ships, so they are ready to sail in the same direction to attack. Air defense Qihime didn't know anything about combat command, she wasn't originally designed to be a command ship, and with the poor knowledge she had before her death, it was too difficult for her to expect her to fight with Kii at sea.

“…… What should I do if I was discovered by Kii's fleet? ”

Ignoring the flying shells, the air defense Qi Ji turned on the communication headset and drew a light screen in front of him. On the other side, the central perch, Ji switched back to consciousness from SH's split body, and his anger immediately skyrocketed.

"You won't deal with this little thing? Since you don't want to fight her, why not avoid her as soon as possible? Your radar is the best in the depths. I don't believe you won't find Kii. ”

"But now it's happening. One of the four battleships escorting the ship has been heavily damaged, and it seems that Kii intends to engage me directly. ”

The air defense Qi Ji replied unhurriedly, with an attitude that it was all up to the decision of the central Qi Ji.

"I'll ask the Moordi Water Ghost to come over and cover your evacuation immediately, and it just so happens that she is not far from you. The Thunder Patrol planted under the bottom of the sea has gathered closer, so let's use them as a punching bag for Kii first. ”

After the central Qihime finished speaking, she turned off the call, she also has to deal with the problems on the other side of the land, if she can't do it, then she can only take Kii "knife" first.

"What a bad temper. As before, she concentrates on what she cares about, and she gets tired of being disturbed by others. "Air defense Qi Ji inspected the 16 dual-purpose guns on the ship, she didn't have the confidence to fight Kii, but that didn't mean that she didn't have the courage to fight the light patrol.
