"Have you found out what this metal is?"

"Not at all, the level of technology of the Deep Sea Fleet is more than one level beyond that of human beings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Gonjun Sato returned the piece of metal that was used by the central Suhime to deliver the message to Kii. Although he felt that if he asked the will of the deep sea, the other party might tell him the principle of this gadget, but he didn't intend to understand it.

"In the days we had been sailing to the Marshall Islands, the outlying islands had also returned to the waters of the Marshall Islands. Just yesterday morning, the mine team led by Shentong was suspected of encountering the outlying island Qiji, and they were all lucky to return, but except for Shi Yu's first ship, the rest of the ships, including Shentong, were seriously damaged and had returned for repair. It is estimated that they will need to return to China for overhaul in the next step, and they will not be able to participate in the subsequent battles. ”

Kii drank delicious black tea and remembered the thrilling blocking battle that took place that evening. She only vaguely saw the silhouette of the outlying island Suhime through the fog before the battle, and had originally traveled from Australia to the New Hebrides with the battleship Suhime.

"I remember it was a base-type perch with a huge number of aircraft."

"Judging from the information obtained by other warbands, the artillery ability of the remote island Suhime is weak, and the armor is not as thick as the battleship Suhime and the Moori Water Ghost. During the battle for the Marshall Islands, it was detonated by a cannon from Yamato. ”

Kii remembers that in the final battle around the New Hebrides, he poured more than 200 armor-piercing shells on the battleship Suhime, not to mention the double layer of side armor, and even the weak top deck was strong. That kind of battle Kii didn't want to fight again, but the central Suhime had already told her that the Moorland Water Ghost would be used as a block to block the assembled combined fleet, and she had to fight her former friend as a battleship ship's mother, especially since the armor of the Moorland Water Ghost was also very thick.

"Shall we change course and join the battle queue against the outlying islands? If you can sink the remote island of Qijihime, it will be a great achievement. "Kii is more worried that the plurality of Qi Ji joining forces to fight will seriously affect morale, and defeating a weak one first will play an effective role in changing the battle situation." I'd love to fight the remote island of Suhime again,"

"Yes, Sosuke Takayanagi didn't make any special requests to our team. I will now inform the front command by telegram. ”

Kii heard that Gonjun Sato didn't agree with Kii's judgment, and she couldn't think of a reason. "So what are we waiting for? Sousuke Takayanagi himself has let go of his command power, and he will eliminate the outlying island of Suhime first, and then we will have no problem reporting that we have arrived smoothly. ”

"The Moored Water Ghost is also moving around, and although there are carrier-based aircraft chasing her and fighting with her forward troops, it still looks flawed. If the Kapai warship could sink the remote island of Suhime, Sousuke Takayanagi would have done so a long time ago. "Sato Gonjun didn't believe that the base-type Qihime could be easily sunk, and when the first and fifth air battles bombed the airfield, even if they plowed the opponent's deck with a bomb, the other party could still open fire.

The Ninth Sentai is not only Kii, but Kitakami and Oi encounter a mooring water ghost, but it is very likely to be fatal. Kii had seen the precise shelling of small boats by the moored water ghosts, and they were basically one cannon at a time.

"You have a point, but I really want to be involved in the battle, not wait until the battle is ready." After Kii experienced the sinking of the battleship Suhime, she became a little passive to face the battle, and she herself wanted to eliminate the mustard in her heart through the training in the preparation stage.

"Kii, do you have the confidence to sink the remote island of Jime?"

Sato Gonjun didn't persuade Kii again, but said very directly: "Risk and benefit are like the left and right ends of the scale, I can put the lives of the rest of the Ninth Sentai on one of the trays without any worries." But I can't put the result of 'You can sink Hakushimasuhime without careful planning' on the other side. I'm not Sousuke Takayanagi, and I don't have his mentality of gambling on everything. If you think you are really sure that you will sink the outlying island in this battle, you can order me to report, I dare say that as long as you appear, the water ghosts will definitely send a pursuit force to attack the other ships of our team. ”

"You know a lot about the water ghosts...... I,"

"It takes a long time to get to know a person thoroughly. But if you want to know someone else's style of doing things, you only need to practice it once. ”

Sato's tough attitude made Kii temporarily dismiss the idea of going to besiege the outlying islands.

"Then let's go directly to the temporary port in the Marshall Islands?"

"This is the best choice, in addition to the Moordi Water Ghost and the Outlying Island Habitat, I think there will be other Habitat Queens joining the battlefield soon. We must hurry up and get the latest information on the enemy's movements. ”

――――

Meanwhile.

The roadbed air squadron that took off from the Marshall temporary airfield was the first to catch up with the outlying islands, and the bombing group consisting of a land attack carried 800 kg of bombs. Sousuke Takayanagi once again used gambling to take the lead, for him, the gamble was lost, but the loss of a sortie was consumed, but if the bet was won, it could cause enough heavy damage to the outlying island of Suhime.

These pilots are all veterans with rich combat experience, but even the elite will not think much about the fact that they are now fighting a powerful roadbed type perch in the deep sea.

"Children who don't learn well...... All right...... All for me to fall! ”

In the past few days, because of the failure to take revenge, she was once again blown up by the aircraft carrier Niang and had no place to vent her anger. Her carrier-based aircraft scrambled into the air and began to meet the invading IJN Army Strike Team.

But after more than 30 of them took off, he found that there were not many spherical drones left in his hangar. After being hit hard repeatedly, she never returned to Pearl Harbor to replenish the weapons she consumed, and she recovered very slowly on her own.

"Damn it!"

After being bombed again, the remote island Suhime only felt pain in many parts of his body, and even the flight deck was blown up and became unusable. She reloaded the shells and fired another round of anti-aircraft guns at the roadbed air team in the flying yard. This time, she still has a pitiful 6 downs.

Looking around, there are only fragments and oil stains from carrier-based aircraft that have not completely sunk. The surface of the sea was a foul black, some of which was black blood left on her body. This time, the outlying island Suhime had to choose to return to Pearl Harbor and continue to stay on the front line, she would only become a target for movement.

For her, the newly-born Central Habitat will be the strongest commander of the Deep Sea Fleet, but she doesn't want to listen to all the orders of the Central Habitat. Even if she was as she is now, bombed again and again by the planes of the IJN Combined Fleet, she is not willing to stop.

Because the battleship Suhime had given her a vague order before the last battle of the New Hebrides.

- "How can you fight with me in your current condition?" When the hull is repaired, come back to my service."

Because she was waiting for the battleship Suhime to greet her again, and fight together for the will of the great deep sea.

【Loneliness...... It turns out that this is the meaning ......]

The remote island of Tsuchihime doesn't know how to alleviate her abnormal state, and humans seem to borrow "crying" to alleviate it, but she can't. There are no human emotions in her setting, so there are no superfluous features.

With a low hiss, the outlying island of Suhime turned to Pearl Harbor, probably for the first time in her time, she had a clear destination.

"It's getting dark?"

The remote island Suhime turned her head to see the sunset on the sea level, and she was attacked by the army in the afternoon. "Time flies."

The scars on the ship's hull were slowly healing, but it would take a long time, and it would only relieve her pain slightly.

“…… Ships approaching? ”

The remote island of Suhime increased the power of her radar to detect the enemy, and this time she clearly captured the position of the enemy ship. At the same time, she saw with her eyes a force rapidly approaching from behind her. Due to the loss of the carrier-based aircraft and the damage to the ship's hull in many places, the remote island of Suhime was unable to perceive the enemy sensitively.

“BurningLove！！”

"Sister, although the enemy is damaged, the strength is still very strong, keep in formation."

"We will also speed up to meet the enemy and win the victory for the Admiral!"

……

The remote island Suhime heard the conversation in the other party's radio band, probably the other party is a very good team, even if she faced her roadbed type Suhime with three old warships, she didn't show any retreat.

A round of shells hit her, but it was not as powerful as the bomb of the land attack just now, and it only shattered the healing armor of the remote island Suhime.

"Why...... Why...... Why, are you so happy? I don't understand! Why...... I'm obviously very strong, but I've been besieged by you old-fashioned warships? ”

There are many, many questions about the island, but no one can answer her.

Another round of shells, this time a salvo of three battleships at the same time, the hit rate was not high, but two of them still hit one of her shore defense guns, blowing a large hole in her hull.

"You ...... Why not bask in grief and surrender to the will of the great deep? ”

The voice of the remote island suhime reached the team on the other side, her anger burning, along with the pain on her body.

In a trance, she seemed to be back in Sydney Harbour, in front of the smiling battleship Suhime, and the deep-sea fleet that had also been reborn in Sydney Harbour.

"It looks like a good Qi Ji, my first work, I'll call you the outlying island Qi Ji in the future."

In the twisted scars, four 20-inch battleships "grew" from the remote island Suhime with main guns and more shore defense guns, and at the cost of it, her empty hangar was squeezed to a very small extent.

"Whether you are a battleship or an aircraft carrier...... will all put you... Sunk! ”

Maybe it's a gift of will from the deep sea, or maybe it's a special mechanic that the battleship Suhime reserved when she designed her. The remote island of Ji no longer has to rely purely on carrier-based aircraft to fight as in the past, and at this moment, the remote island of Ji has finally gained a powerful artillery bombardment ability and has gained a "new life" from the shell of the past.
