Chapter 35: Tyrell Islands Raiders III
High in the air after the fog cleared, several fast and extremely fast black dots were circling and flying in some fixed pattern. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it is overlooking the entire sea area from a high-altitude perspective under maintaining normal altitude and high speed.
Through several carrier-based aircraft stranded in this airspace, the girl who obtains her vision through a long-distance spiritual link can roughly explore this area that is difficult to observe due to the obscuration of fog.
Even her cautious and cautious actions, knowing the essentials of reconnaissance, inevitably attracted the attention of the deep sea that roamed the surface of the sea. Although the deep-sea large-caliber anti-aircraft cannon failed to shoot down the carrier-based aircraft she controlled, its dispersal effect also cut off the possibility of her continuing the mission.
In order to avoid being attacked by a dense barrage of deep-sea anti-aircraft fire, the girl had to evacuate the airspace with a carrier-based aircraft, and sent a notice to her admiral with a spirit link:
"Mr. Admiral, the reconnaissance of this area has ended. It is about to withdraw part of the reconnaissance carrier-based aircraft and send new fighter-bomber formations to support. ”
Since she did not sail to fight in person, she mainly supported and took on reconnaissance missions with carrier-based aircraft. Considering the vastness of the sea area and the long time spent in the air, all of her missions were torpedo bombers with no weapons on board.
There is also a limit to the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be supported and controlled by its mental strength, and if it wants to be supported by the fighter-bomber formations that are kept in the hangar, part of the formation that is conducting reconnaissance on the front line must be withdrawn.
"Yes, I've informed Veneto about this." At this moment, the teenager who was sitting on his seat and was watching the battle from a distance with the help of Veneto's flagship equipment used the little energy he had left to communicate with him.
And in the fleet that encountered the deep sea in the waters of the Tyrell Islands, Veneto, who served as the flagship, was quickly issuing a series of instructions.
"Suzuya, Mogador, continue to maneuver and evade, and quickly retreat out of the danger zone!"
Through the observation of Anne's carrier-based aircraft and the radar detection provided by Des Moines, Veneto has confirmed the position of the deep sea at this moment. The formation formed by several deep sea formations that emitted not weak radiation reactions was less than fifteen kilometers away from Suzuya and the two.
"Call for fire support! We still need some time! Veneto, who received a hurried reply from Suzuya in an instant, knew that her current situation was urgent. After a cursory calculation, the girl began to turn the position of the ship's guns, preparing for long-range fire support to attract the attention of the deep sea, in order to buy more time.
"Des Moines, please assist me with artillery support. Radar monitoring should also continue. With the sound of several deafening cannon fires, Veneto also learned from the teenager about Anne's deployment of carrier-based aircraft to return to the sea.
At this moment, when the battle was already in close and medium range, the carrier-based aircraft that Anne had originally sent for reconnaissance did not have much effect, and even if it was evacuated, it would not cause much interference.
"Betty, Lan, pay attention to the change of formation, please move farther to the outside to avoid being hit by enemy fire." With the arrival of the deep-sea counterattack, Veneto adjusted the formation while the naval guns cooled down.
Although the direct distance between the deep sea and them was still more than twenty-five kilometers at the moment, in order to avoid a hasty response in the near future, Veneto still spent his efforts to make arrangements.
As the order was quickly issued and executed, the girls, who were surprised by the sudden appearance of the deep sea, also calmed down. Even though he already knew that he was going to face the deep sea people whose energy level was not lower than his own, the fear that had been haunting his heart completely disappeared because of his trust in his companions.
A teenager who roughly felt the changes in the mood of the girls through the spiritual network was rarely smiling at the moment.
When he first entrusted the position of flagship to Veneto, he was full of trust and affirmation in her. And the results he had since made him believe that his initial choice was absolutely correct.
Veneto, who gets along with other girls in the academy and achieves excellent results in training exercises, is impressed by his peers and receives unanimous approval. And this prestige that has accumulated over time is also particularly credible in such an urgent situation.
In addition, the boy did not forget his own work. Maintaining constant communication with Veneto, and from time to time communicating with several girls still stationed in the town guard's mansion, the boy has already devoted all his energy to his work, and has no chance to rest.
The more he knew that he could only help in the rear, the more the boy knew that he was powerless, and the emotional turmoil lurking in the boy's heart became stronger.
If he hadn't met the girls for a long time, the boy wouldn't have been so worried. Behind every voyage of the girls is an invisible unknown risk, and one day they may be killed by a sudden situation.
In the position of Admiral, he can truly appreciate how vulnerable this rare mutual trust is when the unexpected comes.
A corner of the waters of the Tyrell Islands
The popping sound that had only ceased to die not long ago echoed on the surface of the sea again, but the sound was superior to the previous one, and the originally more average radiation response was also disorganized by the presence of the radiation shock wave.
"Whew...... Finally out of the range of dangerous direct hits......" Suzuya, who had only just gained a chance to breathe, sighed with exhaustion to Mogador when he clearly felt that the artillery fire flying around him was gradually thinning out.
The two girls, who had only planned to conduct outpost reconnaissance battles, could not have imagined that they would be among the first to encounter the Deep Sea Fleet. Even though both of them had a good speed, the already weak protective energy layer was extremely weak under the bombardment of the deep-sea battleship.
Thankfully, Veneto and Des Moines' fire support attracted the attention of the deep sea, so that the two were not subjected to a larger firepower projection.
"But we haven't been able to shake them off yet." Mogador, who was still carefully observing the changes in the surrounding waters, observed the trajectory behind him and then made a maneuver to fire more high-explosive bombs fired from a certain deep-sea destroyer.
"You can't continue to retreat, otherwise it will interfere with the team's operations." After moving forward again, Suzuya and Veneto reported to Suzuya and Veneto, who had reviewed the battle situation, came to this judgment.
"Two against three? But the deep sea at the front seems to be a little dangerous. "Although the radar equipment carried by Mogador is mediocre, it can also roughly judge the situation of the three deep sea vehicles following behind him.
"Can't you give them more trouble......" Suzuya, who had already begun to turn course and fought back while dodging the artillery fire, responded to Mogador's question in a tenacious and powerful tone.
They have quite a few limitations in the deep sea that they fight in the deep sea at home and when they come here to attack the deep sea. If the two girls guarding Veneto and De Moines come to support, they can indeed gain more advantages in an instant, and may even quickly defeat the opponent and change the tide of the battle.
But they still need to guard against other deep-sea creatures that may appear here. Floating in the deep sea in this sea area is not only the few that appear in front of you. It is also difficult to predict whether other deep seas will be attracted to the strong radiation reaction and participate in the battle.
"It seems that they still need to delay their offensive with a high-speed advantage." Mogador, who had already ascertained the general information during the chase, made such a suggestion.
And this also coincides with Suzuya's thoughts. With only the firepower and armament possessed by the two of them, it is difficult to quickly solve the three deep seas. Even if it can be done at a considerable cost, suffering heavy losses in this remote sea far from the town guard will not only put oneself in danger, but also drag down one's companions and cause even greater losses.
The outpost of Suzuya and Mogador against the three deep-sea outposts has been in a long stalemate ever since.
The deep sea, which did not have a sense of teamwork, did not send more troops to crush the battle line, and the team, which was always on the lookout for possible danger, was also unable to provide more support.
The middle part of the formation of this team is the area that suffers the most from artillery fire.
In the smoke of fireworks, a girl dressed in a ship's uniform and maintaining the highest speed maneuver, carefully observed the huge and slow-moving deep-sea battleship in the distance.
Even if she knew from the radar data that she had entered the deep sea of the third energy level, the girl did not have the slightest fear.
The cold sea breeze is also warmed by the blazing fire. The high-pressure air currents from the firing of the ship's guns blew across her face, but only the wisps of white hair were blown, but the resolute will in the red eyes did not change.
The data provided by the radar solver clearly identifies the trajectory of artillery fire flying in mid-air. The girl relied on the 30-knot high speed to avoid the radiation damage range it generated, constantly adjusting the parameters of the naval gun to prepare for the next round of shooting.
Bang! A loud roar like thunder suddenly erupted, and even Des Moines, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was shocked by this terrifying sound. The girl who was not far away could release far more energy than she could with a single salvo, and the damage it caused was extremely deadly.
While Veneto engaged the deep-sea battleship, Des Moines did not have nothing to do, but aimed his guns at the wandering deep-sea cruiser.
The two people in the middle of the artillery bombardment suffered the most damage. But it's not for nothing.
The two deep-sea hostile sides also suffered considerable losses, especially the three-level deep-sea cruiser, which had no intention of getting close to a high-explosive bomb under a salvo from Veneto. The subsequent damage to the ship's armament was also extremely severe, giving Des Moines a good opportunity to continue his suppression with firepower.
The roar of the naval guns continued, and the initial momentum was still maintained ten minutes after the contact began, and the battle situation was still in a state of chaos that was difficult to judge.
Originally, Betty and Lan were in the execution of the guard formation, but at the moment they were on the edge of the battlefield. The two of them, who didn't have too strong protection capabilities, didn't dare to go deep into such a harsh environment full of flames and shock waves.
But they are always on the lookout and helping their companions as much as they can.
"Betty! Thank you for that round of torpedoes! A hasty thought of gratitude came from the spiritual link, and the girl with the golden spiral double ponytail also threw a little attention into the northern outpost from time to time. And took advantage of some opportunities to project torpedoes with Lan beside him to interfere on the battlefield.
Although neither of them is good at lightning strikes, the usable torpedoes still give Suzuya and Mogador some help, at least reducing some of the fatigue they feel when dealing with the deep sea.
"Whew...... If it were Garibaldisan, he would have been better equipped than I am for the current situation. Suzuya had this thought rising in her heart after avoiding the powerful armor-piercing bullets.
Garibaldi, who is already good at protecting, can resist even if he is subjected to more powerful firepower than himself, so as not to fall into a somewhat embarrassing situation like her.
Her current condition is not too good, the protective energy layer is only acceptable, and after withstanding dozens of rounds of shelling, she has already appeared a little abnormal, but fortunately, the current turret has not suffered too serious failures, and it has not affected her normal combat.
After ......taking a deep breath, Suzuya once again urged the host to exert his strength, and quickly crossed a graceful curve. Evade the artillery fire that came back again, and guide the deep sea into the minefield formed by the torpedoes fired by Betty and others.
The deep-sea, which is currently pulling most of her energy, should be a deep-sea heavy cruiser in terms of ship type. A total of ten naval guns continued to spew out strong firepower, and even though Suzuya had a numerical advantage of fifteen, it was far from the same in terms of power.
Even Suzuya, who has a wealth of combat experience and combat awareness, is a little tired under this continuous battle. But the deep-sea creatures, who were still instinctively in their hands, seemed to have no problem with this, and the wounds caused by the shelling did not seem to cause pain, and they still sprayed frantically with powerful firepower.
"It's really difficult...... Suzuya, who has fallen into a small broken state, looks at Mogador who is maneuvering to avoid with concern.
Even Mogador, under the combined attack of two destroyers, was somewhat struggling. At this moment, she has liberated her natural ability to improve her speed, and she does not have much energy to cooperate with Suzuya to execute better tactics.
The boy who watched the battle remotely through the spiritual network was also deep in thought at this moment.
The stalemate was not what he wanted to see, but the fact that there were two three-level deep seas in the enemy's deep sea made him a little helpless. Perhaps because the previous admirals failed to do their best, the deep sea, which should have been wiped out early, has grown here, and even has a tendency to form a group action.
"Admiral, there is still one minute before the formation can enter the combat area." The girl's forehead on the seat was shining with a little water, and it was also a great test of her spirit to control the carrier-based aircraft for reconnaissance and combat for a long time, and the time for the change that the teenager had been waiting for so far had finally arrived.
And Veneto, who was still in the situation of firing naval guns, seemed to sigh lightly after learning the news.
As Suzuya and the deep-sea cruiser continued to dodge and bombard, a faint roar suddenly came from overhead, but it disrupted his original thoughts. With her remarkable eyesight, she had already captured the mini carrier-based aircraft that was paddling high in the air.
The scales of this battle, the moment the fighter-bombers released by Anne from the town guard mansion entered, slowly began to tilt, and the winner was announced.
