CHAPTER XXII

In the early morning of June 3, the Kii appeared 300 nautical miles outside the port of Holland Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, and because the submarine group of the Imperial Japanese Navy had been loitering in the open sea, the patrol ships were attracted to attention, and it was not until the northern formation led by Kii arrived at its destination that the radar post in the harbor was the first to sound the alarm.

"Enemy attack! It's the Japanese fleet! ”

At midnight, the harbor was boiling over in an instant, and just as there was chaos in the Dutch harbor. Night Zero reconnaissance planes that took off from Myoko and Ashigara have already flown off the Dutch harbor.

The northern formation has two light aircraft carriers -- Long Xiang and Ruifeng -- but their pilots do not have the ability to fight at night. Before dawn, they were all reduced to supporting roles. And Kii, the protagonist of this great battle, has already aimed her powerful main cannon at the front.

At a distance of 30 nautical miles, Kii's reconnaissance team was quicker than the fifth team at the head of the team, which was patrolling the torpedo boat outside the harbor. Three main guns on one side roared at the same time, and Kii had only tried over-the-horizon shooting in the past during training.

The news of the sinking of Nachi's reconnaissance plane came, and Kii's first battle seemed to be going well.

In addition to the four heavy cruisers of the Fifth Sentai Team, the Kii and Mayyu of the Ninth Sentai Team, and the two mine warteams led by Yura and Nagara, the entire Northern Fleet also has two mine wars. In addition, the Fuso Yamajo sisters stationed in Maizuru and the two aircraft carrier girls are the main forces participating in the battle this time.

On the other hand, according to the information I received earlier, there were only a few cruisers left in the port of Holland, and there was no threat to Kii's side at all.

Even the Admiral Nishimura, who was in charge of the Fuso, couldn't help but sigh that this battle was a feint after Kii opened fire. Capture the port, open the waterway, and make it easy for the army red deer who have been holding on for a long time to land and fight. Kii's presence gave the fleet a further morale boost, and they were sailing beside the strongest battleships in the world today.

"The whole fleet obeys the order," Vice Admiral Xi Xuan's loud voice was transmitted over the radio to the ears of several commanders. "Changed to Plan C, the main fleet captured the port of Holland, and the mine team was responsible for clearing the channel. This battle will be won! ”

Vice Admiral Hosoxuan is regarded as the commander-in-chief of the northern formation sent by the Navy Headquarters, and he and Sosuke Takayanagi are half a master-apprentice relationship, and the only thing that makes the Navy criticize him is that he is sometimes close to the top of the army. Other than that, he was an excellent officer in every way.

Although she was not happy to give the army a piece of the pie, she remembered that it was Sosuke Takayanagi who arranged her first battle, so she had to follow the plan.

"Attention of the whole department, it is now officially in combat mode, and the target is Holland Harbor!"

Under her control, the battleship's power system reached 120% conversion efficiency of the original design, the night reconnaissance aircraft flying in the sky provided her with a good view, and the powerful firepower made her have the possibility of crushing everything.

Kii, who was born from the doctrine of big ships and huge guns, her appearance made the already empty Holland Harbor lose the confidence to go to sea and fight. How can only a few second-class cruisers in the harbor break through the behemoths that appear in the night?

"It seems that Miss Kii is having a good time, and she ...... "Through a group of submarines lurking near Holland Harbor in advance, the battleship is watching the real-time images that are coming." Hua Kaiyuanjun, your friend does have a set, and in just one year, he was able to use the technology of our deep-sea fleet to develop an image transmission device. ”

Although Neihejun studied marine engineering, he is very talented in scientific and technological research. In the design of the Kii, he also provided many ideas for new technologies. The man on the other end of the radio looked a little proud of his friend. In the impression of the battleship,Huakaiyuan Long Xing is a guy who rarely praises others.。

"Speaking of which, is Uchikawa Tamura still comfortable with his new body? With the help of Minato Suhime's information, her hull is perfect in every aspect, right? ”

"Did the Will of the Deep make you ask?"

Battleship レ replied as a matter of course, "How can I care about others?" Even though I'm of the same kind now, I still can't understand your human feelings. ”

There was silence on the other end of the radio for a while, probably to confirm something. “…… There is no problem with the hull shaping, and Uchikawa-kun is undergoing rehab training, but her appetite is ...... Seems a bit big? ”

"Appetite?"

"She has drunk all the 40 tons of crude oil towed by the supply ship, and if the first phase of the subsea drilling is not completed, I am afraid that she will starve to death on the bottom of the sea."

After Long Xing finished speaking, he also asked his subordinate Lei Xun to turn on the real-time video.

I saw that with the sweep of the searchlight of the thunder patrol, on a vast plain in the submarine mountain range, the black pressure was full of deep-sea habitats, and among these soulless ships, the position of a hill was vacated, because there, abruptly, stood a "hill" that had just awakened.

It is based on the newly born Minato Habitat Hime, and is given the name of the Deep Sea Will--Harbor Water Ghost. The size has doubled, and the surrounding battleships are compared to her, and it is the dolphin that meets the blue whale. Counting the hull on its back, the longest point of the harbor water ghost is more than 3 kilometers, and the shortest point is also 1 kilometer. A pair of giant claws can easily grasp the battleship from the image. At its tail is an aircraft carrier-like take-off runway, with 20 15-inch coastal defense guns towering on both sides, and behind it are the hallmarks of its fortress -- four super-large battle fortresses, which are not weaker than real military fortresses in terms of air defense capabilities. What is really amazing is a super giant cannon above her head, the caliber of which has reached 20 inches against the sky.

Uchikawa Tamura, or rather, the harbor water ghost, finished enjoying the fresh crude oil provided by the supply ship and stood up from a kneeling position. The battleship class was able to witness what the real earth was shaking, and the expulsors in the video were just caterpillar-like existences compared to her.

She has memories of her past as a Uchikawada Village, and she also listens to the call of the will of the deep sea. It seems that the will of the deep sea is satisfied with this new daughter, the king of the deep sea with a human soul.

Unlike the flames of vengeance that the harbor perched emitted all the time, the harbor water ghost has a clear mind, and under her command, her supply fleet is orderly developing the resources of the seabed, or collecting metal minerals to accelerate the birth of companions.

"Perfect!" Battleship レ saw the scene of the harbor water ghost turning her huge head to Lei Xun, and couldn't help but let out admiration. It was as if she had seen a work of art that satisfied her bad tastes. "You should have heard the will of the deep sea calling too, go! Harbor Water Spirit, go and meet the greatest 'Mother' who has existed most on earth. She would be glad she had a new daughter with sanity. ”

As the harbor water spirits floated from the bottom of the sea, the deep-sea fleet attached to her, leaving only a small part to manage the operation of the laboratory, and the rest formed a huge black torrent swimming in an unknown direction.

"I'm looking forward to the moment humans see the harbor water ghosts, and if they still think that the battleships they built are 'sea monsters'." Battleship レ taunted the flower blossom courtyard on the other side, Long Xing.,Using the information of the harbor perched hime.,It's her idea.。 This is also the largest deep-sea habitat to date.

"I'd love to have Uchikawa-kun destroy both fleets directly at Midway, but since the Deep Sea Will wants to see her, I have to look forward to Sousuke Takayanagi's defeat."

Hua Kaiyuan Ryuxing foresaw the defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy, maybe they could fight a draw, but once they lost the aircraft carrier fleet, the Imperial Navy also lost a trump card to bring the American Federation to its knees. From the moment Sosuke Takayanagi split off multiple fleets, the goddess of victory had already disappeared behind his back.

The northern formation led by Kii completely wiped out all the resistance forces in the Dutch harbor in only three hours, and several cruisers, like other ships in the port, were shot and caught fire in the face of the baptism of artillery fire from Kii and other ships, and finally the fuel oil leaked from these ships lit up the dock. With the order to retreat from the defenders of the American Union in the harbor, it was dawn.

In the morning light of dawn, there was only a bleak scene, and countless American soldiers witnessed Kii's strength with their lives. Unlike the previous battles, this was the first time that people felt fear, as if a kind of magic had invaded every soldier in Holland Harbor, so that even if they retreated to safety, they still reverberated the roar of Kii's main guns in their sleep.

The message to the American operations headquarters mentions a new warship several times and describes her horror as "the dawning dragon".

At 9 a.m. local time, Admiral Nishimura was discussing the battle on the dock with Lieutenant General Hosoxuan, the commander of the northern formation. The army has already sent a large number of landing ships, and the operation to seize the island will begin immediately.

"This is the land of the Commonwealth of America." Followed by Fuso and Yamashiro, Admiral Nishimura couldn't help but stop and pick up a tulip in the broken flower pot, although the flower had only three petals left, but it could still smell a fragrance, which made people intoxicated.

"Soon this will also become the territory of the Great Japanese Empire." Lieutenant General Xi Xuan smiled and took the emergency call from his subordinates. "From headquarters?"

"No, General. It was sent by Admiral Kii. ”

Somewhat surprised, Vice Admiral Xi Xuan immediately opened the document, and after he landed, he also wondered why he didn't see the figure of Admiral Kii, and he obviously invited Admiral Kii to go ashore with him to admire the occupied Holland Port.

"Not good, Admiral Kii. She left the fleet alone! Lieutenant General Xi Xuan was so angry that he threw the document on the ground after reading it, and his originally good mood suddenly dropped to a low point. Is she crazy? He actually left his post without permission and violated military orders! To put it mildly, you can shoot a deserter on the spot! ”

Realizing what was happening, Admiral Nishimura asked Fuso to open radio contact with Yamashiro, hoping that Kii would hear the persuasion and return. However, due to the distance, neither of them was able to get in touch with Kii.

"Vice Admiral Hoso, Kii is the flagship of the Combined Fleet and the hero of this battle. We'd better keep the news shut down and nothing happens as long as no one knows. ”

Vice Admiral Hosogen, under the persuasion of Admiral Nishimura, did not pass the news of Kii's departure from the fleet to the headquarters, but he also seemed very uneasy. "There was only one destroyer with her, and in the event of an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Then report the information chaos on the battlefield, and we don't know that Kii left alone. With this message as evidence, the responsibility is not on us. ”

Only then did Vice Admiral Xi Xuan realize what a sinister person the admiral beside him was, and he was afraid that he would want something to happen to Kii and other warships, so that his own fleet would have a chance to win the battle.
