Chapter 20: The Blue Hole Sea

In front of the calm and quiet port, you can faintly hear the girl's voice mixed with the sound of Lin Haitao and the sound of the waves washing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Uh, I'm really envious that you can fight this time......" The girl who was paddling across the water in front of the harbor channel, who seemed to be checking the underwater condition of the person, muttered regretfully in the spiritual network as she stared at the four girls waiting in the berth.

"Mogador has to work hard to teach Shi Jinfeng-chan~ If you don't seriously complete the task assigned by the Admiral, you can't do it." In the past, Suzuya, who had cooperated with Mogadordo and was used to sailing together, teased softly.

"Well, there's really no way to do that...... Good luck to all of you. Mogador was not deterred by the heavy real-life mission, after all, this energetic girl was actually quite sensible, and couldn't help but bless her companions before watching them set sail for battle.

"No problem, this time it's a four-person formation, I guess I can easily solve them." Suzuya spoke confidently.

And Mogador and Shi Jinfeng, who were in charge of arranging the fairway mines in the minefield, silently watched a few girls adjust their activities a little, and then set sail from here to prepare for the battle.

"Everyone is amazing...... "The girl who looked at their departing backs said with respect.

"Shi Jinfeng can do it with hard work~ You just need to train consistently~" Mogador encouraged his junior so much.

"Huh...... Is it okay to reach the seniors? A slightly surprised Shi Jinfeng asked.

"Uh-huh...... The two of us are not in the same direction...... Tokitsu is super talented in the use of torpedoes. After hesitating for a moment, Mogador still preached truthfully.

As for why she didn't mention her strengths, it was her pride, even if she looked at the past and the future, among all the destroyers, she was quite confident in her potential.

"Then today's training will also begin~" Mogador, who faithfully fulfilled the task of teaching, naturally trained with quite strict requirements, but she believed that Shi Jinfeng could withstand such teaching.

"Okay senior!" Shi Jinfeng is also full of confidence, and starts today's strengthening training with vigor.

However, several girls who had already left the town guard mansion could not see this scene, and naturally they did not know how their training was.

Guided by the route specially marked in the sea area map, they went around some shallow reefs and many sea areas very smoothly, and moved towards the predetermined sea area location.

This extremely detailed map of the sea area is not comparable to the rough chart that Blecado had purchased. Under the efforts of Suzuya, Mogador and others on daily patrol vigilance, combined with the results of Annie's use of air formation reconnaissance, it has become something that you need to memorize.

Of course, this map is also updated frequently, and neither Aritus nor Veneto feels that this map is perfect. There are always some strange phenomena that occur in the ocean, not to mention the impact of sea fog on observations at certain times, and the existence of some islands that change their position with the time of the season, which is enough to cause a lot of trouble.

"Report the flagship! No abnormalities were noticed in the surrounding waters. The voice of the more immature girl in the spiritual link made De Moin, who was in the center of the fleet, a little distressed, and helplessly persuaded:

"Betty, I'm just the captain of this operation, and the flagship is still addressed to Miss Veneto."

"Huh! But a long, long time ago, Sister De Moines was the flagship of Betty's fleet~ and she would only call Sister De Moines alone. Betty, who was a little stubborn, said.

Hearing this, Des Moines didn't know what to say, perhaps sometimes as prototype ships, they carried more memories of the past, which also had a great impact on their temperament.

As for the position of the flagship of the fleet, although De Moines was a little envious, when she thought of Veneto's close relationship with Aritus, she still felt that she did not need to force such a thing. Although Des Moines, who serves as a resource dispatcher, is quite good at handling official duties, he does not have the awareness to take on too many responsibilities on his own initiative.

A colleague who maintains a spiritual connection with Betty, she also keeps an eye on the changes taking place in the surrounding sea, and her unimaginable vision is naturally to discover the strange scenery hidden among the many reef foundations.

There was a strange deep blue light in one of the atoll reefs, and after closer inspection, Des Moines knew that there was no special light source in it, but a visual deviation caused by the depth of the sea inside far exceeding the outside.

She had also heard of this strange landscape on the ocean, and knew that it was a special structure called the Blue Hole. Because of the large depth, Des Moin, who was a little uneasy, asked Betty to use sonar to explore, and decided to take a look after confirming that there was no deep sea.

"Mr. Commander seems to have labeled this place as the Blue Hole Sea for that reason." Betty, who is closest to the view, looked at it curiously and said with a grin.

Aries, who was always paying attention to Des Moines, recalled what he had learned after knowing the fluctuations in the spiritual network, and muttered:

"I don't know that the blue hole landscape here existed before the cataclysm...... Or is it caused by the post-oceanic plate change......"

Aritus still admires the artifact landscape created by the great power of nature, at least not so perfectly.

The four girls who continued to sail in the direction they had originally designated finally received instructions from De Moines to prepare for battle after a long waiting time.

Using radar to capture the radiation emitted by the deep sea, Des Moines and Suzuya both release the reconnaissance planes they carry in the hangar, and activate the radiation energy throughout their bodies so that they can start fighting at any time.

"Well...... I remember the last time I was exploring this place with Mogador...... "Suzuya, who was using the Zero Water Detective to investigate, suddenly saw this somewhat familiar scenery, and recalled his hard work some time ago, and couldn't help but say.

The first two people who came here to investigate were extremely cautious. After all, it is only for reconnaissance and exploration missions, and the primary purpose is to collect data rather than directly fight the deep sea, and it has to avoid the sensing of the deep sea for tracking.

This also allowed the two to avoid some trouble, after all, there are still five deep seas that may act collectively in this area.

"At present, it can be confirmed that there is nearly one deep-sea fleet in this area, and according to the information obtained from previous reconnaissance, it can be known that there are two three-class deep-sea cruisers, one second-class deep-sea cruiser, and one second-class deep-sea destroyer." De Moine slowly explained the information he had obtained in the mental network.

"It's just that they don't have enough wisdom to keep the group going all the time, otherwise we don't have an advantage in the current situation."

Just as De Moine was about to emphasize something, Suzuya's naval scouts detected the deep-sea fleet that was sailing behind the islands nearer, and immediately sent information to De Moines to interrupt her story.

"Deal with these three deep seas first, and the vigilance mission still needs to be carried out to prevent the other two deep seas from appearing." De Moin, who had made a decision in just an instant, slightly commanded the fleet to change course, and continued to maintain the guard of the outer perimeter.

"Well, it looks like luck is pretty good." After learning the information from the spiritual network, Aritus said this, but there was a different light in his eyes.

His original intention was not to let a few girls solve the deep sea in this area in such a way of encirclement and suppression, but to test the performance of everyone in a more difficult battle situation with actual combat. As for whether there will be an unsustainable situation, Arrites has already prepared Anne to be on standby, precisely to deal with some special circumstances that may arise.

"But it's okay, it would be nice to have more actual combat experience like this." Thinking so, Aritus did not force too much to change Des Moines's instructions.

In the past, even if the members of the town guard mansion had studied and taught in the academy and had some experience in actual fleet combat by chance, in the final analysis, their combat experience was still not perfect. Most of the ships that perform tasks on weekdays are mostly two-person operations, but the scheduling cooperation brought by larger formations requires continuous actual combat to achieve.

"Suzutani and I are responsible for suppressing the enemy bathyscaping cruisers, and Betty and Lan are in charge of guarding at the same time to keep an eye on the range of the enemy and the enemy, and can carry out torpedo attacks or artillery support at the appropriate time." Des Moines assigned the task so before the battle, which was also determined by the ability of the ship's mother.

For example, Suzuya and Des Moines, although they are not as capable of launching an aviation offensive as Anne within tens or even nearly a hundred miles, nor as capable of fierce artillery bombardment at a distance of twenty kilometers as Veneto, but they can also carry out artillery warfare within nearly ten kilometers.

As for Betty and Lan, neither the main guns nor the torpedo have a range of this distance, and it would be a waste of resources to force a fight.

"Prepare for battle!" When he and Suzuya confirmed that the enemy's deep sea was within range of his strike, Des Moine gave the order, and several cannon fires rang out in the next few seconds.

The two who are still attacking at a long distance, even with the trajectory correction of the radar solver, will inevitably deviate under the influence of external factors, of course, the long stay time in the air has caused the deep sea to react in a more timely manner, and then they also launched evasion.

Suzuya, who had a lot of combat experience with the deep sea, could instantly perceive the difference of the middle of the three deep seas, not only was the energy level higher than the other two deep seas, but his combat awareness and skills were also higher, almost completely avoiding the radiation killing range formed by the artillery fire of the two people.

Of course, the people who were far away did not notice the slight crater residue on the three deep sea bodies, but this was not caused by this battle.

"Keep shelling!" Des Moines' cooled muzzle once again sprayed a scorching tongue of fire, carrying the fire of killing intent and death straight around the sea where the deep sea was located.

The dense distribution of artillery fire, even the more agile deep sea, could not be completely avoided, and Demoine had already achieved considerable success with Suzuya before he could fully display the power of her nine guns that could continuously spray fire.

Of course, this is not completely without a price, after approaching each other, the four shipwives and the three deep-sea girls, among which Betty and Lan, who have a weaker protective layer, have lost some of their armor due to the radiation shock wave generated by the high-explosive bomb, and they still need to stop the deep-sea destroyer that is heading straight for them.

The battle belonging to the destroyers has begun, but unlike the cruisers, Betty and Lan, who have a tacit understanding, play their own strengths.

Betty, who has a total of six naval guns, no longer makes accurate calculations but constantly consumes materials and converts them into ammunition, and carries out continuous shelling of the approaching deep sea, and the excellent rate of fire performance of the small-caliber main gun is vividly displayed at this moment.

And with Betty's help, Lan Zi would not miss such a good opportunity, and the four quadruple torpedo tubes mounted on the leg ship, when it was determined that it was difficult for the enemy to evade a large area, did not hesitate to project it, and the white lines under the water crossed to form a fairly regular tic-tac-toe trajectory.

Not surprisingly, it was this close-range deep-sea destroyer that was the first to be solved, and after Betty and Lan, who were able to completely switch their minds from being wary of the opponent's deep-sea destroyers, joined the battle, it accelerated the speed at which Des Moines and Suzuya solved the other two deep-sea destroyers.

Bang! As the last cannon roar died down, the sea returned to calm, but the two deep-sea shells slowly sinking on the surface also represented the end of the mission.

"Whew...... I feel a lot easier this time......" Suzuya, who witnessed the mission objective being solved, sighed.

Originally, she thought that these deep seas were still relatively difficult, but with the help of Des Moines, they were relatively easy to solve.

"There is no trace of the other two in the deep sea, so we can't let our guard down for the time being." De Moin's instructions came from the spirit link, and Suzuya had no choice but to continue to control her carrier-based aircraft to search.

But as time passed, the two quickly realized that something was wrong, and the two who had almost explored the area did not seem to have found any trace of the rest of the deep sea.

"Strange, I came here a few days ago to investigate...... There should be two more. Suzuya asked, puzzled.

"Migration to another region, perhaps?" Des Moines came to a more likely conclusion.

"Probably...... The habits of the deep sea are also inexplicable, and I don't know if they have run away somewhere else. Suzuya said helplessly.

De Moines, who was vaguely aware of the weakness of today's opponent, seemed to have some conjecture, but looking at this relatively unfamiliar sea, he could not find enough evidence to prove it.

And Aritaus, who knew the battle report from afar, didn't know what his expression was, he originally wanted to let a few girls add some actual combat experience, but he didn't expect the other party to be solved so easily, but he didn't know what to say.
