171 Decisive Battle! Iron Bottom Strait(15)
"Throwing away a small amount of ammo and fuel and then increasing speed to avoid the storm ring was the right choice, but now here's the problem, the excavator...... Phew, I mean, we don't have enough fuel and ammunition right now, so we can get to where we want to go? ”
Locat's deep thought as he looked at the alien aircraft carrier in front of him.
“ヲ…… As far as the situation of this ship is concerned, there are at least twenty deep-sea fighters that can be used, even at night, as long as the opposite side is not of the same level as me, it can basically maintain air supremacy. ”
It is better to say that it is really no joke for the deep sea to master the Zenith technology, and the fact that aircraft carriers can take off and land at night has always been one of the shortcomings on the human side.
Of course, it can be studied that it is also related to the mutual attraction of metal autonomic cells, and if this characteristic can be used and technology, it will not be difficult for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land at night.
Of course, although it sounds good, it is important to know that even the deep-sea fleet will not easily activate its aviation forces at night, so the tactic of night combat and surprise attack has become one of the common means to deal with the deep-sea fleet with air carrier forces.
However, this is also a theoretical matter, and although the specific research is still ongoing, it is still a matter that takes time to solve.
"Putting this aside for the time being, it's okay to say within our fleet, if it is seen by people from other fleets, it may be troublesome, what about King Kong and the others?"
Lokat said while gasping slightly, his expression was much more relaxed, according to the report of the reconnaissance plane, there was no enemy attacking from behind now, which was reassuring, and if he passed through the storm circle, he avoided the possibility of taking another road to get close to the enemy's sub-base.
and reduce the possibility of being discovered, and can improve the efficiency of the next battle, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"The remnants are enough for one or two battles, but about the torpedoes of the destroyers, almost one is probably the limit."
Locatt nodded silently, because his torpedo tactics did consume a lot of torpedoes.
But fortunately, all the torpedoes were used on the idea, and not a single shot was wasted.
After all, the stability of the Type 93 acid torpedo is really not easy to handle, but the melee CQC-style torpedo battle can give full play to its powerful power.
"Then I think the Nishimura fleet should also merge with us as soon as possible, and if we mix the combat power, we should be able to easily meet it next."
Locatt waved his hand and continued, picking up the contact device.
"I inform, the General Headquarters and the various fleets, our fleet will merge with the Nishimura fleet and continue to fight, so far all combat operations have been smooth, and no stubborn resistance from the enemy has been encountered."
After the announcement, Locatt put down his communication device, took out the chart, and observed and traced the current course and development with the help of his eyes eroded by autonomic metal cells.
"That is, we have advanced to the predetermined point F...... The Nishimura fleet must have passed through point C and is merging with us via points H and G, of course, this is the smoothest situation...... Then let's go into a state of silence for the time being, wait for the convergence of the Nishimura fleet, pay close attention to the current situation, Bailing, and release carrier-based aircraft to ensure the safety of our neighborhood. ”
And compared to the more comfortable Locat, the Nishimura fleet is undercurrent.
Even if the whole fleet enters quiet mode and moves at a slow speed, there can be no carelessness.
In fact, it was very unfortunate that the Nishimura fleet encountered the cruising of the opponent's main water strike force.
Although the other party did not find the Nishimura fleet, the relative distance is really not only dangerous to describe, in fact, the other party only needs to search a little to find the extent.
Even Kondo himself is sweating, and if he is discovered, there is no doubt that he will now enter a passive posture of being beaten.
And the formation of his own fleet and the speed of the capital ships are not enough to snatch the T-shaped formation.
Therefore, it is the right choice to avoid the enemy's path of advance and make a detour, but the information received about the confluence cannot be ignored, although the reserves of ammunition and torpedoes on their own side are quite sufficient, but it is still the same sentence.
First of all, you have to get through this difficulty.
"Slow down a little more, don't be too anxious, the other party shouldn't have discovered our existence yet, Snow Wind, Time Rain, scattered as guides to leave first, confirm the direction of convergence with the Southern Cross fleet."
Everyone was in a state where they didn't dare to take a breath, and the feeling of depression swept through the entire fleet.
"yes, got it."
Shi Yu has always been a smart and clever guy, his brain is also very fast, as a destroyer, he is also one of the best children, his personality is also very smooth, and he is also very loyal to the execution of orders.
"Wait, Admiral, there seems to be a change on the other side, and it's turning around!"
It's better to say that Fuso's report really silenced everyone.
If the other party really reverses direction, then this side is really passively beaten.
"Don't be nervous, keep moving as we are now, and stay away from the rain and snow as soon as possible."
As the radar scanner turned round and round, everyone in the Nishimura fleet raised their hearts to their throats, and even more so in the bridge of the Fuso where Kondo was, a pin drop could be heard.
"Enemy fleet...... Retreated, we didn't show a trace, thank goodness ......"
It wasn't until it was confirmed that all the enemy ships were far away that everyone's hearts relaxed.
"The Southern Cross side has reported that it has detected the signal of the rain and snow winds, and it has now converged and is waiting for our next move."
That is, the distance between the two fleets is not very far, but it is not yet in sight.
"Back to the Southern Cross fleet, our fleet will move forward with your fleet in a peer manner, and make a confluence, please continue your fleet."
Kondo wiped his forehead, only to find that his cold sweat had wet the broken hair on his forehead, and even his entire back was wet.
"So...... Now comes the real battle...... There is still a little time before dawn, so let's take advantage of the fact that we are now able to defeat the opponent's mobile forces. ”
Lokat nodded, looking at the message and thinking to himself.
"The whole fleet stops being silent and moving at full speed, time may be running out."
As for the Hongyan fleet, which is thousands of miles away and far off the coast of Kuah Island, it is secretly waiting for a group of reinforcements that are about to fall into the net.
PS: It feels like it's really the Year of the Monkey that I can finish the Iron Bottom Bay series, maybe it's better to get out of the play...... Well, but I really enjoyed this campaign, and it was my first event in the pit.
PS2: 1111111111111111111, let's draw a straight ...... on the level of Akatsuki [Dragged away.]
