"Kii ......"

Staring at the figure of the Kii that appeared on the screen, the battleship Suhime directly turned off the real-time video. The daughter of the deep sea www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was present, and she was an old friend before her death, so there was no need to fight again. As for those light air carriers, how many ships can escape are a few, and the next step in her battle plan is not very useful, and there is time to wait for a new batch of light air carriers in the future.

Turning his head to look at the pet "vacuum cleaner" that was still gnawing, the battleship Suhime put on her sunglasses and lay comfortably on the beach chair. There is still some time before the sun goes down and she can continue to enjoy the beautiful sunbaths.

"In the battle that follows, let you enjoy the spectacle of ten thousand cannons firing at once."

――――

When Kii arrived at the location where the Arashio gave the signal, she saw only the badly damaged Arashio, and she held on to her last consciousness and begged Kii to come to the rescue of the rest of her sister ships, and was carried away to be rescued. As long as there is no problem with the core of the ship, the body of the ship girl can hold on.

It was also an unexpected result to be able to save Asahi who was under siege by enemy carrier-based aircraft, and if Kii had arrived a few minutes late, he would have missed the opportunity to save Asahio, which was a blessing in misfortune. A round of three-type bombs shot down most of the unmanned carrier-based aircraft hovering in the sky, and Kii's majesty relied on her powerful firepower.

In the port of Shortland, when he learned that the convoy had been attacked by an air raid, Sousuke Takayanagi immediately dispatched an army flight in the garrison to attack. At the same time as Kii's 7th Sentai returned home, the Army Aviation also sent back the results of an effective blow to the enemy's light air carrier forces.

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi, according to the battle report sent by Kii, it has been confirmed that the two ships of Kuroshio and Oshio were sunk in the air raid, the morning tide was slightly damaged, the desert tide was seriously damaged, and the situation of the clouds, winter clouds, and full tide is unknown, but it may be higher if it has left the battlefield. Of the eight transports, only the Oigawa Maruichi was confirmed to survive. There was little chance of escape for the rest of the transports. Above. ”

A heavy blow.

Sosuke Takayanagi sat on the chair and was stunned for a moment, this group of convoys is transporting fuel and ammunition resources for combat, although the ammunition is sufficient, it will not be nervous because of the sinking of one transport ship, but the other seven are all precious fuel transport ships, and now only one can drive to the port. It will have a great impact on the next large-scale operation.

"Commander-in-Chief, are you going to arrange the next batch of transports right away?"

Yamato held a notebook and a pen, and he could also see that the Admiral was very anxious about being disrupted at the moment.

"But where can we find another batch of transport ships now? A large part of the Southeast Asian side has been transferred from the operation, and for a time I can't get the headquarters to send a new batch of transport ships to bring in fuel. If I report the news that the convoy has almost been wiped out with great fanfare, the headquarters will only be more distrustful of me. "Sosuke Takayanagi's plan was based on the two forward bases of Shortland and Buinberland, and relied on five regular battleships such as the carrier and Kii to attack the deep-sea fleet entrenched on the east coast of Australia. Both berths are newly developed areas, and with the exception of Bouin Berth, which has built a metal ore resource channel, the two berths can provide zero resupply capacity. Metal ore must also be used only after the relevant factories are built, otherwise they can only be transported to the nearest factory in the Luzon area for processing.

Yamato suddenly thought of something, clapped his hands, and reminded Sosuke Takayanagi. "The Ninth Sentai was originally a fleet whose main purpose was to transport supplies. Although Kii has now become the main team because of Kii, there are still more than a dozen transport ships still owned by this team. It's a long way to get here, but it's one of the ways that can come in handy at the moment. ”

"One?"

"You forgot? There is also the former First Sentai stationed in Truk Moor, who has a lot of transport ships. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi was not reminded by Yamato, and he almost really forgot that he was exiled to the Nagato faction stationed in Trukpo. Asking for help from Kii is a safe move, and asking for help from Nagato is a dangerous move. Sousuke Takayanagi, as a gambler, likes to win in danger.

"Immediately send a telegram to Trukopodi. Request for fuel delivery to Port Shortland. For the specific procedures, I said that I would make up for it later with the Navy Headquarters. And then Kii ......"

Sousuke Takayanagi wanted to deliberately gamble a big game, but because he was now out of the organization, he could only win and not lose, and the power he could only grasp could only be grasped as best he could. "I'll talk to her personally."

Yamato's hair ornament made a noise, and after confirming with the crew of his communications department, Yamato told Sosuke Takayanagi the news. "The Ninth has arrived at port."

"Very good, every time Kii arrives, it always boosts the morale of the army, and I suspect that she has any special abilities. Yamato, you go and deal with the damaged ships, and remind the five aircraft carriers to carry out the final inspection of the carrier-based aircraft. I'm going to welcome the 'heroes' this time. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi put on his coat, took the military hat from Yamato's hand, and walked out of the office handsomely. "The battle has just begun. We need to work harder, too. ”

"Yes, it's all up to Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi."

――――

"Yamato? Why did you come here in person? "Akagi personally supervised the overhaul of each carrier-based aircraft outside the hangar, and when he turned his head, he saw that Yamato had already walked in front of him." I see what happened when a large number of army airplanes took off just now? ”

Yamato saw that Akagi, who was enthusiastic about his work and easy to get along with his subordinates, could only silently sigh that the other party was good at winning people's hearts. She had the impression that Akagi was secretly in awe of Sosuke Takayanagi, and it was clear that she and Sosuke Takayanagi had carefully handled the embezzlement of pensions and unified all the people involved, and they were still known to Akagi.

"It's bad." Yamato didn't continue, but motioned for Akagi to go to a place with fewer people.

Akagi handed over the registration book to his subordinates, and his flight captain, Fuchida Daisa, consciously continued to guide the inspection work. It can be seen that Akagi attaches great importance to the next big battle.

The two walked under the unmanned bridge, and without waiting for Yamato to explain the use of land aviation just now, Akagi brought up something even more embarrassing. "The Owari was captured, and Owari himself died in Truk Porchi. What the hell is your boss Sousuke Takayanagi trying to do? Didn't I inform him that the submarine forces patrolling had discovered the presence of deep-sea submarines in the surrounding waters? He is a human being who has seen the will of the deep sea, and he should know that the deep sea fleet has many special equipment that surpasses our technological level, and it is easy to track down a large aircraft carrier. There is still a thing to hide the new aircraft carrier. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi is also in order to sneak attack the American Federation at the same time in the follow-up battle, who would know that the Deep Sea Fleet will instantly build hundreds of warships and aircraft carriers, and wipe out all the fleets of the American Federation, and now they are all hit on the American Federation mainland."

Yamato's explanation only met with Akagi's cold eyes.

"It cost 70 million yen to build Owari, but fortunately there are no personnel or carrier-based aircraft on board, and the attack on Truk Mooring is not on your head. But please tell Commander Takayanagi that he lost 70 million yen for his stupid ambush tactics, and there is an aircraft carrier girl who has been carefully cultivated by the organization! ”

Although Akagi is a head shorter than the tall Yamato, he has a steady overwhelm of the other party in terms of momentum. After all, one side is in his early 20s, and the other side is over 50 years old. "'Black' will not continue to pursue this matter, but there will be no next time. The empire could not afford to lose large ships one after another. ”

"Yes, you must paraphrase your teachings in full."

"So, could you please explain the reason for the use of the anchorage inland voyage not long ago? Presumably not good news. ”

From the returning army planes, Akagi could see that some of them had been subjected to machine-gun fire from the air, and that individual formations had not returned completely, and that the most likely thing was that they had fought an air battle with the carrier-based aircraft of the deep-sea fleet.

"The convoy responsible for transporting supplies was almost completely wiped out, and due to the timely participation of the Ninth Sentai in reinforcements, the sea area where the incident occurred was temporarily controlled. The Army Aviation has fought a battle with the enemy's air carrier group, which has already destroyed 60% of the enemy's air carrier group's combat capability. ”

"The ship responsible for the delivery...... All wiped out? ”

This news is no less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky for Akagi, who was cut off from supplies before the war, and the other party just took some light air carriers that had no follow-up use and sent them to death. There are five regular air carriers here, and air supremacy will definitely be taken. So the enemy trades the most useless card for the one that is most needed here.

"This must not be publicized! Why didn't he explain it to us in advance? As long as our carrier-based aircraft are sent to respond, this will not happen. ”

Yamato also can't say anything, the transport team reports the location of a secret telegram every three hours, and the Ministry of Communications has not received it a few times, so it was not until Kii's ninth team sent an urgent telegram that the transport team was attacked. The only remedy that can be done is to send the army aviation to blow up a wave of air with the light air mother group that the enemy has not had time to retreat.

"There have never been any targeted attacks by the enemy on a convoy before, especially when there are multiple escorts to expel them......"

Akagi was so angry that he immediately went to Sosuke Takayanagi to ask him if his head was caught in the door, and he made mistakes in the judgment of the battle plan one after another. Thinking that the other party was now very close to the Imperial Research Institute, Akagi was even more furious. Aside from the ship's mother, any other experiments that attempt to harness the power of the deep sea are meaningless, and the phenomenon of deep-sea can kill infected organisms in a very short time.

"That's enough, then it's up to our air carrier forces to seize the advantage. It doesn't make sense that the commander of the Air Carrier Mobile Unit is my Admiral, Lieutenant General Nagumo, right? ”

As soon as Nagumo Tadashi arrived at the Sholante Shodi, he relapsed because of an old illness and recuperated for several days, Yamato said that he was very worried about the other party, Takayanagi Sosuke planned to hand over the command to General Ozawa, the commander of the new Second Air Warfare, and Yamato went directly to Akagi this time for this reason.

"Can your Admiral's body hold it?"

"I don't bother you to worry about it, he's my admiral. I know his current state better than anyone. All is normal, and he can lead the mobile force to a victory comparable to Pearl Harbor at any time. ”

Akagi said extremely resolutely, and from her anxious retort tone, it could only reflect that General Nagumo Tadaichi was not in a good state. Love makes the leader of an aircraft carrier make a very irrational decision before the war.

"Is he really up to the task? Akagi-senpai, if you don't worry about General Ozawa or Shogun Hara, you can be the commander yourself. In terms of strength and fame, you are the best choice without flaws. ”

Akagi did not waver in the slightest, still insisting on her own point of view. "I repeat, my Admiral, General Nagumo Tadaichi, is now in good health and capable of commanding a series of air carrier maneuver operations in the future."

At this point, Yamato has nothing to say. She could understand why Akagi had to make General Nagumo the commander this time, just as she was expecting Sosuke Takayanagi to bring victory to the empire on the battlefield. The commanders in their minds are all military gods who are victorious thousands of miles away.

"I wish you in advance a victorious battle, Senpai Akagi. Please. ”
