Chapter 24: Shooting Stars

The waters of the Marshall Islands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After receiving a call for help from the remote island of Suhime, he immediately led a group of high-speed troops based on heavy patrols and expulsions to pursue the IJN air carrier fleet retreating in the direction of Guam.

She was also well aware that the Combined Fleet intended to lure the pursuing forces into a counterattack using carrier-based aircraft. However, with the protection of her moored water ghosts, it is not a problem to withstand the bombardment of only two regular air carriers. The Moored Water Ghost didn't have the luxury of sinking the Fifth Air Battle, and all she wanted was to sink one or two slow light air carriers.

June 20 at 10 a.m.

The moored water ghosts were not able to spot the IJN aircraft carrier fleet, which had changed course and taken off after dawn. The first to discover the danger was the submarine force under レ,They were arranged by レ to cruise in the waters near Wake Island.,Seven air carriers were tracked for the first time.,And it has been tracked until last night.。

“…… So the enemy's carrier-based aircraft have already flown over? "The water ghost of the land is facing the レ who is making small moves behind the back.,I'm very disgusted in my heart.,But according to the order of the central perch.,It's not time to completely break with レ.。 My reconnaissance aircraft has not yet encountered the enemy. ”

"Soon, trust me. Good luck and ......

レ gloomy laughter,Even the water ghost of the land will feel uncomfortable when he hears it.。 The other party is a thorough executor, who only exists for the sake of the deceased's will, and regards the withering of life as art.

"Disgusting guy ......"

The Moordi Water Ghost closed the light screen in front of him, turned his attention to several reconnaissance planes, and switched back and forth a few times, but found nothing unusual...... It's weird.

Since yesterday evening, she had spotted two Ise-class battleships approaching from the south with a number of cruisers and destroyers. They thought that the route they had chosen was very hidden, but the central susuihime had long expected that Sosuke Takayanagi would have a conspiracy, so that the water ghosts of the berland should not relax their reconnaissance in other directions.

"The battleship should be handed over to the battleship to deal with. Hopefully, those mass-produced goods will get a little bit of success. The laughter of the water ghost was equally permeating, she didn't care about the life and death of her subordinates like the battleship Suhime, as long as she could hinder the enemy, she wouldn't care about sending her subordinates to death.

At the same time, the air carrier fleet led by Shozuru and Zuizuru, all seven ship girls switched their eyes to the captain of their respective crews, according to Takayanagi Sousuke's prediction, their carrier-based aircraft was about to encounter the pursuing force led by the water ghost of the berland.

"Guys, as long as you can inflict heavy damage on your opponent. Let's do it together. ”

Xianghe's carrier-based aircraft were the first to discover deep-sea ships, and the huge moored water ghosts were also witnessed for the first time.

"The first echelon gathered, and the second echelon was modified to the latest route I set. There's only one goal - that giant perch! ”

Shohe's order was echoed by everyone, and for the light air carrier Niang other than Zuizuru, with the replacement of carrier-based aircraft, they are becoming more and more overwhelmed on the battlefield. The Fifth Air Battle, which should have been a junior, became the core of the fleet, and the difference between the hull and the carrier-based aircraft had reached the point where experience could not be compensated.

"Sister Shohe, I will ask Captain Murata to clean up a round of deep-sea ships that are blocking the front of the water ghosts in the moor. After that, it's up to your luck and handling skills. ”

Zuihe's habit of grabbing credit has not changed, but at least she has not quarreled with other aircraft carrier mothers on the public channel, nor has she rushed to be the main force, which can be regarded as her progress.

"Be careful, Lord 'Black' doesn't want us to lose too many excellent pilots, and there are ambush troops in the future, so we can fight a feint battle."

Although the Fifth Air War did not have the two top aircraft carrier mothers like the First Air War, the complementary personalities of the two sisters helped to a large extent, and the Admiral of the Fifth Air War was very relieved to let the two ship girls judge for themselves and change tactics.

"Rest assured, I'll keep the strategic purpose in mind."

Ruihe's assurance, Xianghe always felt unreliable when he listened.

"It is estimated that there are 160 to 180 carrier-based aircraft, although they are not as good as our carrier-based aircraft, it will not be too difficult to deal with the Flying Eagle's 99 ship explosion and 97 ship attack."

Zuihe didn't listen to Shozuru's nagging at all, she only had this deep-sea fleet in pursuit, all the torpedo bombs had been unsafed and could be dropped on the enemy at any time. "It's up to me to kick off this air battle!"

The Gale crew, which had received Zuihe's order, swarmed up and shot down all the deep-sea reconnaissance planes wandering around. At this point, there were only ten minutes left for them, as the golden time for them to attack.

"Speed up! All deep-sea planes that take off will be shot down by me as soon as possible! Let the enemy regret not being able to take air supremacy! ”

Zuihe assists in controlling a Gale fighter and shoots another deep-sea reconnaissance plane into a honeycomb. Because it was an aircraft carrier, they didn't have to worry about being included in the attack range by the main guns of the moored water ghosts.

"Coming?" When the Moordi Water Ghost learned that her subordinate reconnaissance planes had been shot down one after another, she could already anticipate the size of the huge fleet that was about to fly. "Interesting~"

The moored water ghost changed from a human form back to a towering body, and she could already see the fleet of carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky with her eyes.

"But...... I'm sorry, but if you want to penetrate my armor, you can only beg for another chance with your luck in hand. "As far as the Moori Water Ghost is concerned, if she can be allowed to follow her to participate in the battle, no matter what strategy the human race has, she will have to know the gap in the face of overwhelming strength.

"The whole fleet changed to a wheeled formation, and used anti-aircraft machine guns and shotguns to defend against the enemy as much as possible."

The ideal formation did not have time to unfold, and the carrier-based planes of Xianghe and Zuihe attacked her directly, while the rest of the carrier-based aircraft of the light air carrier had just arrived in the combat area here.

The aerial torpedo swept away the cannon fodder ships blocking in front of the anchored water ghosts in one fell swoop in a large fan, and Zuihe has been able to reduce the angle of distribution of carrier-based aircraft to a minimum and ensure that the hit rate is maintained.

Shozuru confirmed that the moored water ghost was exposed to her carrier-based bombing area, and she was slightly mentally tired, but it was only after the battle that she could lie comfortably in the captain's room, ready to go to the berth established in the Solomon Islands to receive supplies.

The time had already come, and Xianghe's carrier-based aircraft also increased their flight speed at this time, and all of them dropped on the water surface of the moored water ghosts and the surrounding ones.

The sound of violent explosions continued to be heard, until the moored water ghosts came out of the water curtain completely, and Xianghe was fine-tuning the attack situation of the carrier-based aircraft.

The only thing that can be counted as damage is the roadbed cannon that was blown over.

Shozuru's menacing wave of attacks didn't help defeat the Moordi Spirit, but instead she could learn that the Moordi Ghost's sturdy exterior armor was thicker than they had expected.

Without waiting for the anchorage water ghost to take off and the carrier-based aircraft to counterattack, several of Ruihe's carrier-based planes approached the anchorage water ghost, and two bombs blew up through the carrier-based aircraft runway of the anchorage water ghost. Large swaths of concrete runways fall off, and the Moorland Monster laughs angrily, and her maniacal laughter is a weapon of her own.

The crews of the Fifth Air War were able to withstand it, but the carrier-based planes of the rest of the air carriers were affected, and a few pilots could not bear the terrifying laughter, and there were accidents one after another in which the 99 ship exploded and the 97 ship crashed into the sea.

The Docker Water Spirit's counterattack is also underway, and she is a good note to deal with enemies in the form of a wheel, and the Heavy Patrol class can all be reloaded with anti-aircraft shells. The Moored Water Ghost's orders were very effective, and as a member of the Deep Sea Fleet, she did not need to be forced to replace with unsuitable anti-aircraft shells, and her heavy firepower was enough to destroy the enemy in a certain area.

"I can only pin my hope on the second batch of carrier-based fuselages......" Xianghe had just said half of her words when she was surprised to find a group of about 90 spherical carrier-based aircraft emerging from the clouds. When she switched to the second echelon, she was also taken aback when she saw 90 spherical carrier-based aircraft at once.

The Moored Water Ghost did not have the luxury of letting his carrier-based aircraft have a chance to shoot down the Gale, and according to the Harbor Water Ghost's estimates, the fighter version of the spherical carrier-based aircraft could be compared to the Gale fighter, which was slightly inferior. The 90 new crews that are not much different from the Comet ship explosion are the "best" surprise she left for this aircraft carrier fleet.

Like the mother of the aircraft carrier, the Moored Water Ghost can also speed up the internal machinery of the carrier-based aircraft, and she didn't expect these carrier-based aircraft sent out in advance to be complete.

So...... The Moored Water Ghost chose to let these carrier-based aircraft crash into the second echelon one after another, and used the bombs they carried to damage the planes piloted by these IJN pilots who had no time to evade.

"It's a pity, ahahahaha...... You're not enough to threaten me. ”

The carrier-based aircraft on both sides are being consumed rapidly, especially the carrier-based aircraft of the light air carrier, which is affected by the laughter of mental pollution, and most of their pilots are unable to concentrate. And to dodge the approaching spherical carrier-based aircraft, luck and judgment are indispensable.

"There is no way, the second echelon returns." Xianghe did not dare to consume too much of his own carrier-based aircraft. The enemy can use carrier-based aircraft as artillery shells, and their carrier-based aircraft are all pilots, which cannot be compared at all.

But just when the moored water ghost thought that she had gained an advantage, the "second" batch of carrier-based aircraft appeared in her sight. "What's going on?"

Like the Moorland Water Ghost, Xianghe was also very surprised, obviously the first wave had already returned, and the second wave was forced to turn back before approaching. How is it still possible to have carrier-based aircraft of your own side approaching the moored water ghosts?

"Zuihe, what's going on?"

"It seems that there is not only a gale, but also ...... A new attack aircraft that has never been seen before. The two were able to see the new crew through the second round of carrier-based aircraft that were forced to return.

"This is the new Fourth Sentai Flagship and Commander of the Sentai Clan, Dafeng. I am ordered to come to your aid. I finally caught the opportunity to attack the enemy Qi Ji, and I won't let it go easily! ”

Dafeng, who has given up the name of the deep autumn crane, conveys her war spirit through the public frequency band built by the aircraft carrier girls.
