Chapter 41: Attacking Resource Points

At 8 o'clock in the morning on February 24th, Yan Feng made a final admonition to the shipwives on the dock: "The flagship of this operation will continue to be served by Tirpitz, although it is impossible to completely separate the deep sea, but try to form a scene of more and less through various methods, the specific situation is judged by the flagship Tirpitz, if you can't fight it today, don't retreat first, and continue tomorrow after reducing the number of deep seas." Finally, be sure to stay safe. ”

"Hello Admiral, let's go." Beizhai said weakly with a roll of his eyes.

"Uh, okay, let's go!" Yan Feng announced speechlessly.

"Yes!"

Then the ship girls said goodbye to Yan Feng one by one, and when it was Lexington's turn, she just silently glanced at her admiral, and then turned to leave, both of them knew each other's meaning "pay attention to safety".

When the ship girls left, Yan Feng looked at the direction of their attack on the dock and did not move for a long time.

"Admiral, let's go back, don't you have something to deal with today?" Helena reminded at this point.

"Well, let's go. I can't interfere with their fights, so let me do what I can and let's go Helena. With that, Yan Feng turned around and walked towards the Admiral's Tower.

After separating from the exploration team, Tirbitz and the shipwives sailed in the direction of resource point A, and began to lay out tactics along the way.

"The other side has a total of 6 aircraft carriers, but according to our observation yesterday, it seems that the position is not concentrated in formation, and after the war, Lexington will lead the aircraft carrier formation to break the enemy aircraft carrier first and seize air supremacy."

"On the destroyer side, you form a separate formation. After the start of the battle, use high mobility to attract part of the enemy's firepower and disrupt the enemy's formation, and look for opportunities to release torpedoes. The focus is still on the opponent's aircraft carrier first, and the secondary target is the deep-sea capital ship. ”

"Richelieu and Prince Eugen, you and I form a formation, Prince Eugen should be careful to use his skills to protect us as much as possible, and not do what he can. Richelieu, you and I are primarily responsible for attracting enemy firepower, and equally prioritize the elimination of aircraft carriers. Tirpitz arranged his duties one by one, and everyone who heard the order nodded in agreement.

"Alright, the Admiral is still waiting for us, let's bring victory to the Admiral." A rare warm smile appeared on Tirbitz's cold face in a fighting state.

"Understood!" The shipwives replied in unison.

Soon the ship girls came to the vicinity of the island where resource point A is located, and since the perimeter has been cleared, the core area can clearly see the deep sea patrolling the deep sea with a formation of six ships.

Tirbitz observed the patrol routes and formations of the deep sea, and found that the deep sea was divided into four groups, two of which were formations of three deep-sea aircraft carriers and two deep-sea heavy cruisers and one deep-sea combat patrol, and the other two groups were three battleships and three battlecruisers. So Tirpitz turned to the shipwives and said, "Let's deal with the two formations with aircraft carriers first, first the closest group, Lexington, you come to give orders to the aircraft carriers." ”

Lexington nodded, prepared the carrier-based aircraft on the flight deck, and said, "Get the carrier-based aircraft ready, listen to my orders." ”

Then he turned his head and saw that Saratoga, Zeppelin, and Princeton were ready, and shouted "Go!" ”

With Lexington's order, the fighters began to rise into the air. The three closest deep-sea aircraft carriers discovered the enemy situation at the first time and began to fly fighter jets.

Tirpitz shouted almost at the same time as Lexington gave the order, "Attack with all your forces, target aircraft carrier formation!" ”

The four destroyers rushed out first, and after attracting the attention of the opposing aircraft carrier formation, they maintained a Z-shaped maneuver and headed to the side despite the heavy patrol and battle patrol fire.

Tirpitz and Richelieu were also within range of the main guns at this time, and at Tirpitz "Fire!" At the same time, the main guns of the two began to roar at the same time, and the shells flew accurately towards the aircraft carrier formation.

The deep-sea aircraft carrier group that broke through in front of it diverted its attention from the destroyer, but it was too late. The battleship's guns had already covered their heads, and one of the three deep-sea carriers was broken and one was broken, and the heavy cruisers and battle cruisers also turned their guns and poured fire on Tirbitz and Richelieu.

At this time, due to the serious damage to the flight decks of two enemy aircraft carriers, the battle in the air was quickly decided. As Lexington and the others seized air supremacy, the bomber formation dropped aerial bombs on the enemy's heads. In this round of air raids, this aircraft carrier formation suffered a devastating blow, two wounded aircraft carriers were sunk, and the remaining one was broken, two heavy cruisers were broken, and the battle patrol sank.

The shipwives made a time difference before the enemy's reinforcements came, and almost instantly cleared out the sudden aircraft carrier formation. At this time, the fighters of another enemy aircraft carrier group had just flown in, and the fighters of the two sides once again launched a fierce battle over the battlefield.

Tirpitz didn't care about the disabled formation at this time, and ordered the destroyer to clean up the mess and led Prince Eugen and Richelieu to meet one of the enemy's nearest capital ship formations, due to the absolute disadvantage in numbers, the three did not shoot at the enemy but mainly carried out maneuvering evasion and looking for opportunities to return fire, because the deep sea side was suppressed by Tirpitz's skills and the action was a little sluggish, so it failed to hit the three for a while.

On the other side of the battle, the aircraft carrier girls once again defeated the opponent's fighters in the fierce air station, but there were few fighters left, and because the air had been taken again, the bombers who had finished the supply mercilessly stepped forward to drop aerial bombs with a destructive atmosphere, and at this time, the four destroyers who had already solved the remaining three broken ships also came to the side of this aircraft carrier formation and dropped torpedoes.

In the air and underwater attacks, the deep-sea heavy cruisers and battle cruisers in the front row of this formation were the first to suffer a devastating blow and sank, and the three aircraft carriers in the back row were also broken by one and two by small ones. However, at this time, the last capital ship formation in the deep sea also entered the range of the main guns, and a salvo of main guns smashed into the destroyer formation that had no time to maneuver. Although most of the shells fell into the water, one of them accurately hit Rafi, who was unable to dodge, and Rafite was hit by this one and immediately fell into a mid-hole.

But at this time, Rafite was not afraid, but showed an excited expression, "Hehe, you have annoyed the powerful Rafite." Watch me clean you up. ”

"Sister Lexington, the capital ship formation over there will be handed over to your bombers, Z1, Z16, and Z31, and you will also go to help, and these three aircraft carriers will be handed over to me." As he spoke, Rafi rushed towards the deep-sea aircraft carrier with bombers in the sky.

Rafi, who turned on the skill "Not Afraid of the Divine Wind", completely ignored the bombers in the sky, rushed to the vicinity of one of the small broken aircraft carriers, and directly released a torpedo in the face, and the deep-sea aircraft carrier was directly hit by the vital point before it had time to react, and sank instantly.

Lexington, who understood the effect of Rafi's powerful skills, chose to believe Raffi and ordered the bomber group of the aircraft carrier formation to pounce on the nearby enemy main fleet.

While the battle between the aircraft carrier and the destroyer was hot, Tirbitz's side was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. By this time, Prince Eugen had already fallen into a mid-hole because he had helped the two battleships block too many shells. Richelieu was able to burst out with more powerful combat power after opening the skill "Cuirassiers" at a disadvantage, and at this time he had already sunk the opponent's two battle cruisers. Tirpitz wounded two battleships, causing them to fall into a mid-hole. However, the two have also suffered a lot of attacks at this time, although they have not yet been broken, but the situation is still not optimistic.

After Rafi sank three aircraft carriers without any suspense, Lexington and other aircraft carriers also basically completed the disarmament of the enemy's main fleet with the cooperation of destroyers. Two of the three battleships were broken and one was damaged, and the battle cruiser was all sunk because of weak armor. The mid-destruction battleship was also exposed to the Z31's torpedo at this time, and with a loud "boom" from under the water, the battleship sank without a doubt.

"Rafi! You and Z1 and Z16 went over to help Tirpitz and them. Z31 You stay to pack up the remaining two singles ships. Aircraft carriers! Mobilize all the remaining bombers to support Tirbitz and Richelieu! Seeing that the overall situation here had been decided, Lexington immediately left Z31 to clean up the mess, letting the other destroyers rush over to help first, and the aircraft carriers sent all the remaining bombers.

The situation on Tirbitz's side was already precarious at this time, and Prince Eugen blocked two more shells due to his stubbornness and fell directly into a big break, but fortunately, at this time, Yan Feng's spiritual power defense wall was blessed in time.

"Prince Eugen step aside! You can't fight anymore, get out of the battle area! Tirpitz was greatly reduced in firepower, and she commanded Prince Eugen in a loud voice.

And Richelieu, who was also broken on the side, still maintained a relatively strong firepower due to the existence of skills, and she struggled to sink the last battle cruiser in the deep sea. But that's it, the enemy still has a complete combat effectiveness of the three types of battleships and two mid-destruction battleships, if there is no support, defeat is only a matter of time, but at this time Rafi and Z1, Z16 came with the support of bombers in the sky, and before the enemy's three battleships had time to turn, they directly torpedoed and aerial bombs together, and finally ended the battle smoothly.

However, the losses of the battle ships were not small, Prince Eugen was broken, Tirbitz and Richelieu were broken, Rafite was broken, Z1 and Z16 were bruised by the deep sea heavy cruise, the problem was not big, and the Z31 was lucky to be uninjured throughout the whole process. The aircraft carrier formation was also largely unharmed.

After the battle, Lexington rushed over to help Prince Eugen up, and the broken Prince Eugen was basically unable to move. The sister-in-law and Zeppelin supported Richelieu and Tirpitz respectively.

Rafi, who was also broken, was able to maintain a brave posture in the battle, but after the battle, the pain and accumulated fatigue hit together, and he could only be supported by Z1.

"Although it is a pyrrhic victory, I have finally won this resource point, and the follow-up work will be completed tomorrow. Now that we're going to sail back first, the Admiral should sense that Prince Eugen has broken down, and he should be very anxious at this time. Tirpitz ordered, supported by Saratoga.

"Yes!" The women agreed. After that, he left behind a devastated sea and headed for the town guard's mansion in triumph.
