Chapter 35 NH Operations - Prediction

Second air battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yunhe was in a state where she couldn't help anything after she rose from the fog, not to mention taking off the carrier-based aircraft, and she couldn't even see the destroyers such as Cirrus Cloud escorting around her.

"Yunhe, don't be nervous. Since we can't provide air support, we can wait for them to repel the enemy. "The commander of the Second Air Battle, Jizaburo Ozawa, was calm, and after receiving the waiting order from Kii of the Ninth Sentai Team, he did not forget to repeat his original words to Yunhe.

"I'm not deaf, stinky old man! I don't need you to repeat, if I can participate in the battle, relying on air superiority, I can effectively contain the firepower of the enemy fleet. Yunhe was worried that she had nowhere to vent, and she walked back and forth in the command room with her equally restless tabby cat Jia Lai.

Jizaburo Ozawa didn't care about Yunhe's impolite words, he used to being called an old man by Yunhe in the past. "To put it another way, it's 5 p.m., and in two hours it will be dark. We also can't support the Main Fleet's night battles. ”

"That's different." Yunhe sat back in his chair and didn't even look at Jizaburo Ozawa.

"What's the difference? We have pilots on board who can fly at night? ”

"When I say different, it's different...... It's noisy! ”

Yunhe hugged the trembling cat, but she was actually very scared in her heart. As long as a deep-sea ship sneaks up on her and fires a torpedo, any one of them will cause serious damage to her.

"I'll inspect on the deck, and ships such as Cirrus should be approaching me."

Yunhe said and left the command room, she couldn't help anything anyway. It's one thing to envy Kii for commanding battles, it's another thing for her to command battles. She only has the talent of an aircraft carrier mother, and she has nothing else.

The fog on the deck was thick, and the smell of smoke and dust that Yunhe imagined of environmental pollution did not have, on the contrary, the fog did not smell obvious after inhalation. Calais the cat was in a more obedient state, and when the sea fog rose just now, she kept meowing.

"A little salty?" Yunhe licked the moisture from her lips, and she didn't taste anything else. It's like sea water, and there's nothing but saltiness.

"I can't do anything but hope that others will win on the battlefield. Jia Lai sauce, do you think I'm useless? ”

Garai the cat shook her little paws, ignoring her master, who didn't even know that the fleet was now at war with the deep-sea fleet. Yunhe often walks around the deck or cabin with Jia Lai in his arms, and the little one is also used to the salty taste of the sea breeze.

"Meow~"

【15 minutes】

"Eating again? Well, it's time for dinner, but you have to be aware of the situation. It's time for the battle, and you're also a crew member on my Yunhe, hold on until the end of the battle, okay? ”

What Yunhe said had no effect on Jia Lai, and he struggled to slip away from Yunhe's arms and ran into the cabin.

"I remember where the kitchen is."

Yunhe can't do anything about the cat Jialai, so he can only let it run away. "With the current visibility, carrier-based aircraft can't even take off. How did the deep-sea fleet fight in such a foggy environment? ”

At this time, Yunhe received a notification from the command room, and Jizaburo Ozawa sent a message that Kii had sent three destroyers under her command to strengthen the garrison of the Second Air Force.

"I see. Kii must have been worried that the three destroyers would be left behind and attacked, so he sent them to me. Old man, you and I know the reason for this kind of thing. ”

The carrier's own communication function can come in handy many times, and Yunhe reluctantly walks to the bow deck, her electric detective does detect a ship approaching her.

"Take me as a caretaker? Kii is really excessive, in order to compete for military merit on the battlefield, he left the expulsion under his command to me to take care of. Forget it, it's safe here anyway. ”

【13 min】

Three destroyers slowly appeared in the thick fog, and their searchlights were still conspicuous in the thick fog.

"I remember that Kii had three expulsions under his command, Village Rain, May Rain, and Spring Rain. It should be more mature than Cirrus and Qiuyun. I don't understand the taste of the destroyer ship's mother.,Grab my cat every day to play.。 ”

Yunhe didn't care if the destroyer on the other side could see it, she asked the crew to wave the flag on the side, and at the same time the searchlight illuminated the sea between them.

"So the task of taking care of the destroyer or something makes people unmotivated, as if someone is saying in their ear: 'They are all obedient and good children, so please leave it to you, Miss Yunhe'." Yunhe glanced at the crew who was operating the searchlight on the side, "Did you say that?" If it weren't for the damn fog, we would have been able to do it on the battlefield. ”

"Yes, Lord Yunhe is right."

Yunhe's favorite thing is to listen to others flattering her, and her mood has improved a little, and she turns around to return to the command room. "Come on, work, although we are safe here, but do nothing, and if you spread it, it will make other teams laugh at us."

"The sea breeze has become stronger," Yunhe felt that the sea breeze was much stronger than 1 hour ago, and it should be that the weather was also getting worse. There is a chance that it will rain at night.

Back in the command room, Jia Lai also happened to sneak in quietly with dried fish in his mouth. For this pet left over from the previous Second Air War, Yunhe's kitchen specially stored dried fish and cat food.

"Meow~" Jia Lai saw Yunhe, happily put down the dried fish, and stepped forward to make love.

"Your mouth is full of saliva, come back after eating." Yunhe flashed left and right, but was still rubbed by the cat Jialai with his shoes, "Naughty guy, eat dried fish." ”

Yunhe easily picked up the cat and threw it to a staff officer next to him.

"What's the latest development, old man?"

Jizaburo Ozawa put down the microphone and thought back for a moment. "The sixth team is temporarily at the advantage, and the fifth team seems to be under siege by enemy ships. Kii has already gone to support in person. She told us to stay where we were. ”

"Originally, at this time, as long as I took off a batch of carrier-based aircraft, I could easily help the Fifth Sentai break the siege, just like before, as long as five carrier-based aircraft, I could wipe out the enemy ships with a wave of torpedoes. Simple, effortless, and effective. ”

Jizaburo Ozawa still has the same poker face, and after listening to Yunhe's boasting, he didn't forget to remind him. "It's approaching 6 o'clock now, and it's impossible to take off carrier-based aircraft."

Being stepped on twice in a row, Yunhe turned his head and turned his attention to the chief of staff.

"The reconnaissance plane lost contact before, why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had known earlier that our reconnaissance plane had been shot down, our entire fleet would not have waited until the deep-sea fleet was directly ahead. ”

The mother of the aircraft carrier can clearly know that her carrier-based aircraft has been shot down.

Of course, the chief of staff didn't dare to say this, seeing that the admiral was repeatedly belittled by Yunhe, how could he dare to disobey Yunhe's will. "We thought it was a temporary malfunction of the pilot's communication equipment, and we would not have been able to confirm that the reconnaissance plane had been shot down before the fog rose without confirmation from Lord Yunhe."

"So, let me know sooner next time."

Her chief of staff had already spoken tactfully, and in her ears it was still all the fault of the staff officers on the ship.

【10 minutes】

"The destroyer of the Ninth Sentai has arrived. Old man, inform Kii. Let her fight the enemy ships with peace of mind. ”

It was clear that Yunhe was supposed to do something herself, and in her tone, it seemed as if her admiral, Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa, was her subordinate.

"Well, I'm ......" Jizaburo Ozawa couldn't contact Kii at this time, as if the other party had turned off radio communications.

"Can't get in touch? She was damaged in the fierce battle of Kii, right? The so-called 'Ship of Hope' is nothing more than that. Without aviation support, you can only fight in close quarters with the enemy in the dense fog. ”

Yunhe ran to the corner of the command room again and began to play with the cat Jia Lai, who had just eaten half of the dried fish and was gnawing on the bones.

"Is it okay?" The chief of staff of the Yunhe asked Jizaburo Ozawa in a low voice, "The ship's mother neglected her duties on the battlefield, and it was a big deal to spread it." ”

"Did you see that?"

The chief of staff quickly shook his head, "No." There's a proposal to have five destroyers around us now, and let them surround the ship and keep the distance as small as possible. In the thick fog, if an enemy ship attacks us, we will be the first to know. ”

"This kind of thing, we don't need to remind you, the destroyer ship mother will make her own judgment."

Jizaburo Ozawa was still connecting the Kii, and he didn't think that Kii would break the communication antenna. With the assembly of the Kii, there are two high-power communication antennas on the ship, and it is impossible to destroy them all at once.

"Let's hope someone else wins this battle."

Ozawa Jizaburo also knew that Sosuke Takayanagi had arranged a heavy patrol as the core of the fleet to hold the important place between the New Hebrides and the Santa Cruz Islands, and he was ready to sacrifice several heavy cruisers. The division of forces tactics is also part of the transfer of the risk of losses to a certain extent, and he Takayanagi Sosuke divides his forces to fight, and the deep-sea fleet will naturally not continue to occupy the New Hebrides directly, and will definitely consider seizing the ready-made St. Bruce Islands.

From the moment the port of Vila was blown up, things went beyond the prediction of several air commanders, and the carrier-based planes of the deep-sea fleet actually bombed the important seaport guarded by their own side, and also bombed the seaport beyond recognition. No matter how you think about it, this is not a thing, and doing so will only give the Combined Fleet an advantage in attacking the Deep Sea Fleet.

The battlefield was not only filled with a thick fog that could be seen, but also shrouded in an invisible layer of fog.

"Jia Lai, be good~ don't circle around my shoes."

Yunhe is still playing with the cat Jia Lai, completely unaware that a group of deadly carrier-based aircraft is about to arrive.

The ship's mother illegally took off carrier-based aircraft, so the enemy would not take off carrier-based aircraft, especially since the start of the war. That's what everybody thinks......

【Three minutes!】 】

The remote island Suhime kept checking the position with the submarines lurking around the Yunhe, and although her carrier-based aircraft flew very slowly, she was able to approach the target Yunhe without a field of vision.

"It's time to bring this game to a climax! Go and sink that obtrusive aircraft carrier for me. "Although the losses of her ships are not small, it is possible that sinking an aircraft carrier is a tactical victory. The only thing the battleship Suhime is worried about is the human aircraft carrier.

An explosion suddenly sounded in the white sky, and Hakushima Suhime felt that two of his carrier-based planes had lost control.
