Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stand High and See Far
"Mr. Luke, their drill is about to begin." Just when Luke was bored, Lillian walked over and reminded him.
The Governor's Mansion also sent a few ship girls as judges, and at the same time was responsible for conveying the news to the Admiral's side, so Luke was naturally not surprised to hear the news coming back, "Ah, let's start at the beginning, anyway, you can't see it here, right?" This ship is not even equipped with a telescope, it is a broken ship. ”
Just waiting for Luke is very unaccustomed to it, rather than waiting in the back, he still prefers to go to the front line with his own ship, so at least it won't seem that he is an idler, he can't have all his strength, but be a passerby next to him, right?
"Huh? As for the telescope, there seems to be one on the other side of the cab, and I seem to have seen it when I just passed by, in a box hanging on the wall, and it reads......" Lillian heard Luke say this, and suddenly remembered the scene when she had just passed by the cab, and said with some uncertainty.
Hearing Lillian say this, Luke's ears immediately stood up, and before Lillian finished speaking, he ran towards the cab, and he was about to become an idler if he was idle, so it was better to find a telescope and see if he could see the situation over there.
"I heard that there is a telescope here?" Pushing open the wheelhouse door, Luke asked directly, although the captain who drove the ship was also a navy, but his military position was smaller than him, after all, the profession of admiral, which was threatened by his life almost every day, was still slightly preferential.
"Ah, that's it, but I don't know ......" The captain was just about to say that he didn't know if it could still be used, but Luke took the telescope off the wall and walked out with it.
However, after taking it out, he found that standing on the deck did not seem to be able to see clearly, the performance of this telescope was not as superior as he imagined.
In the end, she climbed to the top of the boat, that is, the top of the wheelhouse, Lillian looked a little weak below, that kind of height seemed a little too high for her, this is at least more than ten meters, right?
Standing on the top of the cab, Luke immediately attracted the curious eyes of the admirals, but after seeing the telescope in his hand, he naturally understood what the other party was doing.
"Well, this guy Lian, did a good job, and so did Agano, well, this little guy is still a little too timid, but overall it's still good, but it's those three guys. It's too slow, so I don't know if I'm dodging and fighting back, so I have to stand still...... Gee...... What am I talking about......" Luke looked at the situation in the distance, although he was not particularly clear, but he could barely see the figures of the Lian Ripples.
Talking to himself with the battle situation over there, the overall situation was still similar to what he had expected, the enemy's air carriers basically did not pose any threat to their side, and those carrier-based aircraft that went straight were basically shot down by the dense barrage of new anti-aircraft guns of the three of them.
The artillery attack on the opposite side did not pay too much attention to the three small light ships at this time, and they had been suppressing Kirishima and Fuso, and the two light patrols on the opposite side released several sets of torpedoes at them, but they were all dodged by them, and the usual training was not done in vain.
On the contrary, Kirishima and Fuso's side are tired of coping, Kirishima is okay, after all, the mobility is high, and it is relatively easy to avoid the opponent's attack, Fuso's side is already unable to cope with it, looking at the appearance that the turret on her body has been somewhat damaged, it should have been hit by the other party once or twice.
Maya's side was aiming at the other party's two light cruisers at this time, although they also hit a few times, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the current battle situation, just two Nagato-class warships already made their side a little unable to deal with it.
In addition to the level, the problem of experience also exists, the other party's two Nagato-class are obviously more experienced than the two warships here, and most of the shells fired by Kirishima and Fuso have been avoided by the other side.
However, the two air carriers on the opposite side are now directly in an embarrassing situation, obviously they have not been attacked, but now they can only stand on the sidelines and watch the battle.
Because the carrier-based aircraft they had just released several times were all shot down by the other party's two destroyers and light cruisers, none of them successfully came back, so they have no planes available now.
"Mr. Luke! Pull me up! I want to see it too! Luke was looking hard, and suddenly heard Lillian's voice behind him, it turned out that the ladder leading to the top of the cab was broken because of rust, this little thing is naturally not a problem for Luke, but it is a little difficult for Lillian, who is obviously still in the category of a normal person.
"Oooh, reach over." Luke stood directly on the edge and bent down, making Lilian look a little frightened, for fear that this guy would be pulled down by himself, and stretched out his hand to hesitate.
"What are you afraid of, it won't fall, don't rub it!" Luke pouted and said, you can know what she is thinking when you look at this guy's expression, and you don't want to think about how heavy you are? With that little weight, don't even think about pulling me if you come back to ten.
Hearing this, Lillian was still a little scared, but she still crawled up with a shudder and stretched out her hand.
"Wow!!" Lillian, who was grabbed by Luke's arm, immediately felt like she was riding a roller coaster, and was instantly dragged up from the ladder, and her feet were already on the ground in less than half a second.
When he turned his head to look at Luke again, Luke had already raised his telescope again and continued to look that way.
"Mr. Luke, let me take a look at it too......" Seeing Luke's look with relish, Lillian was also itchy, and she was also very worried about the safety of electricity, although the exercise would not be sunk, but the pain was inevitable.
"Oh, take it." Hearing Lilian's request, Luke handed her the binoculars in his hand, the situation seemed to him to be not bad, as long as Tanaka's guy's ship mother could hold on until he killed the two Nagato-class warships, Luke felt that Agano and the three of them should not have much of a problem dealing with two light cruisers and two air carriers without carrier-based aircraft.
"Hey, it's so small." Lillian took it in her hand, held it up and looked at it, only to find that the effect of this telescope seemed to be a little different from what she imagined, and Luke said it so clearly just now, she thought that she could see very clearly with this telescope.
Who knows that although it looks like she can see the movement over there, but from her point of view, she can't tell who is who, it's too small! How the hell did Luke tell who was who, and what he did?
Lilian, who couldn't see clearly, had to reluctantly hand the telescope back, and she didn't want to investigate whether Luke had seen her clearly, anyway, this guy was full of strange places, and there was nothing strange about one eyesight.
Luke, who took back the binoculars, continued to pay attention to the situation over there, and in less than half a minute, the situation suddenly became very unfavorable, because Fusang on this side seemed to have been beaten by the other party, and several naval guns on his body could no longer be used, and his body seemed to be not lightly injured, it seemed that even if it was a training bullet, the damage on his body was not low.
At this time, the two Nagato-class battleships on the opposite side were basically able to continue fighting, and Kirishima suddenly became unsupportable.
……
"What's going on! What's going on with the anti-aircraft guns of those three guys on the other side! Ruihe pinched the longbow in his hand and shouted in a panic, she had fought with the deep sea before, whether it was the deep sea or other ship girls, she had never seen a guy's ship outfit that could play such a dense barrage!
The large area of machine cannon shells was simply full of that large area, but the other party hit it with great accuracy, and a few strafing shots swept away the carrier-based aircraft released by her and Xianghe.
"What's wrong! Shozuru? Why not continue the attack? Nagato took control of his ship's outfit and fired a salvo at Kirishima before turning to Shozuru and asked, as long as they broke the destroyers, the exercise would be considered a victory.
"The carrier-based aircraft have all been shot down!" Xianghe shouted at Nagato in embarrassment, the other party was still fighting, and they could only watch from the side at this time, and they couldn't do anything, this is really ...... The opponent's anti-aircraft firepower is really a bit too strong, right?
"What!" Hearing this news, Nagato and Mutsu next to him were all taken aback, even when facing the deep sea, they had never encountered such a situation, and they actually shot down all the two carrier-based planes that were sailing without falling!
That's all carrier-based aircraft! It's not a target to stay put! How did the other party achieve such a small goal?
Because their attention had been focused on Fuso and Kirishima before, Nagato and the others did not notice the several dense barrages that flashed in the opposite sky for a short time, and the sound of Agano's anti-aircraft guns was also drowned out by the sound of the two of them.
"Ah, why can't the exercise be fought at night? People want to fight at night. Kawauchi looked weak, raised his arm from time to time, and fired a series of cannonballs at Agano at the front of the station with the naval gun on his arm.
Obviously, it is a ship equipped with a cannon in the hand of Lian, which is far smaller than the volume, and the power is indeed not small at all, but because the shell is too small to dodge, it becomes difficult to dodge, and Agano has been hit by this kind of shell several times.
Fortunately, the power of the practice bullet is not too great, and the important parts of the ship and body are successfully avoided, so the damage is not too serious.
Luke said before that if she wants to take good care of the two of them, then she must do her best!
Don't underestimate Agano's strength! The result of hard training these days! Let's show you first!
