Chapter XVII
March 3rd. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Ninth Sentai is on their way to the newly built Shortland Place. Military operations against Australia have already begun, and in accordance with the final decision of the Navy Headquarters, it was agreed that Sosuke Takayanagi would bypass the Australian mainland and first cut off the battle line of the deep-sea fleet to divide the Pacific.
The goal given to the entire Combined Fleet was to capture the New Hebrides, the most valuable of which was Port Vila. Located on the east coast of Australia, taking that archipelago, plus the Solomon Islands and other islands, the whole of Australia is surrounded by it. Whatever the choice of the remaining Allied and indigenous people in Australia, they must first weigh the current situation.
As for the name, this time the Japanese Navy can proudly announce that it is to save the Australian residents who are besieged by the deep-sea fleet, but the naval veterans disdain to cooperate with the American Federation of the United States of America for an armistice, and have not responded to the American Federation's armistice proposal for a long time.
"There are still 200 nautical miles from the berth, and the intelligence sent from the berth shows that a total of five regular air carriers in the 125th Naval Campaign are already in position. The rest of the teams we set off from have already confirmed their arrival. Our team has become the 'finale' again. ”
Gonjun Sato sent the sorted telegram to Kii and gave a brief explanation. "This time, the commander-in-chief is still Sosuke Takayanagi, and he also sent a telegram asking us to arrive in Hong Kong as soon as possible and rush to the final pre-war mobilization."
"Wait, Second Air Force rebuilt?" Kii didn't grasp the point again, and only focused on the secondary things. "I didn't receive any information before."
Sato Gonjun was also accustomed to the daily stupidity of his own admiral, so he asked for a brief introduction from the civilian official on the side and handed it to Kii. "It's not a big deal worth repeating, but I put it in your file bag and told you. The new aircraft carrier, Yunhe, is a new type of aircraft carrier that has been improved on the basis of the Xianghe class, similar to the Canglong class and the Feilong class. The number of ships carried on a single ship reached 96, and the number of aircraft carried by the additional 98 ships was closely followed. The Admiral of the New Second Air War is Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa, so please read the details in the document bag. ”
Kii nodded as if he didn't understand, and he remembered the matter of the New Second Air Battle. "This time, five aircraft carriers have seized air supremacy, and the light air carrier corps of the deep-sea fleet alone will not be able to compete with us at all."
Although the Japanese Combined Fleet had not encountered a decent air carrier group of the Deep Sea Fleet since the start of the war, on the west coast of the American Federation, the naval soldiers of the American Federation had already seen the power of the ヲ-class air carrier. According to intelligence, the air raid on San Francisco was confirmed to be a super fleet composed of nearly 100 regular air carriers.
Although Sato Gonjun has been in contact with the will of the deep sea, he doesn't know anything like authority. He didn't tell anyone else about his speculation.
"That being said, the enemy's roadbed type Qiji basically has more than 100 carrier-based aircraft. Nagara and Yura of the Second Sentai were bombarded by carrier-based aircraft of the Deep Sea Fleet and turned into pieces. Be careful. ”
If it weren't for Sato Gonjun knowing that Kii was the "daughter of the deep sea", he wouldn't have been at ease with his own admiral.
At this time, Kii put down the signature pen in his hand and suddenly got up from his seat. "My spy has received a call for help!" Picking up the microphone at hand, Kii immediately contacted the Communications Department for location tracking.
"Admiral Kii, you can't act on your own. We should immediately escalate it to Schottland and let them decide what to do. ”
Sato's dissuasion failed to make Kii change her mind, because she could tell that it was the destroyer who was sending the signal, and the pain of losing Yutachi not long ago has irritated Kii to this day.
"There's no time left, you inform Schottrando and report it as it is. Then it was said that our Ninth Sentai had gone over to reinforce and asked for follow-up support from the berth. ”
Kii increased the power of the electric probe and immediately locked the location and model of the destroyer sending for help. "Is it the Eighth Expulsion Squad?"
Kii could touch the faint airwaves more than ever, and she didn't know why she seemed to close her eyes to hear the cries for help from the desolate tide.
"The fleet is heading for the sea at full speed!"
――――
Small carrier-based aircraft could be seen in the sky at any time, and the bombs fell one after another, and after witnessing the Kuroshio being sunk by multiple bombs on the spot, the wild tide chose to send a full-channel distress signal in a panic. However, her communications equipment was disrupted and she was unable to make contact with Shortland, which was only 400 nautical miles away.
Not just six destroyers escorted the destroyers, but eight transport ships carrying supplies were exposed to enemy unmanned carrier-based aircraft.
The highest command of the battlefield is the tide, but she has already hit two bombs and fallen at the back of the fleet.
They didn't know that under the surface, many deep-sea submarines were tracking and locating each ship one-on-one, especially the destroyer, with at least two deep-sea submarines following behind.
They had become the turtles in the urn, and the battleship Suhime in Sydney Harbour was the commander of the battle, and she used the battlefield footage transmitted by the submarine to give direct orders to a light air carrier roundabout force arranged outside Shortland Anchorage. Although the ヌ-level light air mother is not as good as the ヲ-level in any aspect.,As the only aviation force they can call.,No matter how dissatisfied they are, they will use it.。
"Why didn't the master directly blow up and sink the destroyers in turn, but instead disperse the crew, so that the ヌ-class light air carriers wasted firepower on the transport ship."
A young girl in a black gothic dress stands next to the battleship Suhime, also observing the real-time changes in this skirmish. Although she calls the battleship Qihime "master", she has no emotional fluctuations like most Qihime, just like a curious baby, purely curious about the inefficient command of the battleship Qihime.
"How many times have you said it, don't call me 'master', although you are my guide to build, but I didn't forcibly add the master-servant setting in your thinking."
Battleship Suhime reached out and pressed the goth girl's lace visor, who enjoyed being petted and squinted like a kitten.
"Just call me 'Sister-sama' or 'Sister.'" The battleship Suhime turned his head to confirm that his pet "vacuum cleaner" was still eating kangaroo carcasses on the beach, and then explained to the goth girl with confidence.
"Humanity, especially Japan, is short of resources, and they can't use advanced drilling rigs to exploit strategic resources in large quantities on the seabed, as we do. These transport ships are loaded with fuel, weapons and ammunition that they will need to fight against us next, do you think you can let them go? ”
Gothic Lori shook her head in the negative, then nodded, beyond her ability to think, causing her to fall into a brief error of judgment. She does not understand that a transport ship full of fuel is more strategic than a destroyer. In her values, transports have little to no offensive capability, while destroyers do. In battle, of course, destroy the enemy ships with combat capabilities first. But what the battleship Suhime said must be right, at least the will of the deep sea makes her absolutely subordinate to the battleship Suhime.
"Ahem - I'm really tired of explaining human things to you." The battleship Suhime was back on a comfortable beach lounger, and the sky was sparsely clouded, making it a good time to soak in the sun. It's great to be in command of the front line while lying on the beach and basking in the sun!
She looked at the goth girl's heavy outfit and poked her fingers at the other man's little face. "It's nice to change into clothes that are as light as I am and bask in the sun together."
"No, if 'Sister' allows it, I'll go back to the hull to read. Part of the mythological books of mankind are interesting. "The goth girl is not interested in the changes in the battle situation in the real-time video, anyway, it is a one-sided torture, the difference is only 2 hours to eliminate or 5 hours to destroy.
Battleship Suhime nodded and agreed to the Goth Maiden's request, she is not a person who likes to force others. Not when I was alive, and not now. "Don't always nest in the hull and get out in the sun."
The battleship Qihime stretched out, lazily lying on the beach lounger, and continued to give orders to the front-line ヌ-class light air carrier. This kind of leisurely life made the battleship Qi Ji subconsciously hum a little song.
A タ-class battleship commanded the light patrolmen to bring fresh animals, mostly cattle and sheep, mixed with a few kangaroos, and even the light cruisers dragged the natives who had only a few breaths left to climb onto the beach.
"As announced, a new batch of fresh food has been caught. There are 27 horses in total, with a total weight of about 7 tons. It's all fresh meat. ”
After the report of the タ-class battleship was finished, the battleship Suhime only stretched out his finger and pointed to the pet "vacuum cleaner" that was still nibbling the last half of the kangaroo in the distance. The タ-class battleships have been guided by the battleship Suhime for a period of time, and they have already understood what it means to refer to the last time. The "food" was thrown at the gray-black monster in turn, and when the monster saw the new food, he immediately swallowed half of the kangaroo and switched to eating the new delicacy.
"The harbor water ghost is also too inefficient, so she tried to control her pet's appetite, but there is no response to it so far."
Seeing his pet "vacuum cleaner" eating most of the indigenous people in one bite, he was worried that the surrounding animals and indigenous people would be eaten up and destroy the ecological balance. She still stopped commanding and activated the headset to connect with the harbor water ghosts.
Compared with the outlying island perch who spends all day reading the god stick book inside the ship, the harbor water ghost is a real otaku. In addition to the will to meet the deep sea, it is to nest in her laboratory and tinker with new inventions.
A new square was drawn next to the real-time battle situation, and a harbor water ghost holding a test-tube beaker immediately appeared on the screen. "Look at the pet you gave me, it gets more and more edible every day. If this continues, I will send out a fleet every day to collect food for it. ”
"Weren't you very active in feeding wild dogs and wild cats when you were a human? This time it's just a little bigger. It's still very obedient, and it's a bit cruel to forcibly change its character, right? ”
As the harbor water ghost spoke, a misshapen monster burst out of the fence and tried to run outside. Lei Xun, who was an assistant, was knocked down by it.
"Sorry, wait a minute." The harbor water ghost didn't turn off the video call, turned around and chased after him, and beat him hand-to-hand with his big paws. The synths that had broken their limbs were dragged back to the fence and handed over to the Thunder Patrol to continue testing.
"Where did you just talk? Yes, it would be cruel to forcibly change the character of the 'vacuum cleaner'. You can help feed you more food~ I have developed a drug to control appetite growth, if you really can't stand it, I will send someone to send it to you. Let's not talk about it for now, bye-bye~" The harbor water ghost turned off the video call as if it was nothing. Her research seems to have reached a critical moment, and she doesn't want to chat with the battleship Suhime.
