Just as Eleto was experiencing the most dangerous moment of her life, an air battle began a little further north.

"Dive!"

With Athena's order, a large-scale air battle began. On one side is the 180 F4U pirate formation composed of Xu Zhonglin, Lisa Gladini and Lili, and on the other side is 120 ME-109Ts from Germany, as well as more than 200 fighters that may be reinforced at any time.

The little Hangma, who had the advantage in height and had the lead in speed, firepower, and numbers, achieved brilliant results, shooting down more than a dozen German fighters in just one dive attack.

A few of them were smashed into the air and disintegrated, and many more fell straight to the sea with thick smoke, and from a distance it looked like the doomsday sky fire had fallen.

"It's a pity, the height difference is not much, and the dive speed is not enough, otherwise the results will be more." Lame complained while operating the plane.

Alicia also echoed: "It's been a long time since I've fought so happily, and sure enough, the existence of the ship girl should be all over the world, I feel my blood burning." ”

"Concentrate on the battle, don't relax, and watch carefully at the perimeter patrol fighters!" Athena reminded her friends.

The large-scale air battle was the most tragic, and the two pirates formed a two-plane formation and clung to the tails of the other two ME-109s and followed each other to dive. But not long after the nose of the plane fell, a series of artillery fire came from the side, and a pirate was directly exploded. Nicknamed 'Emmel', the ME-109 showed excellent performance in close air combat, which is not an easy opponent to handle.

Before the Emil could rejoice, the one that had just won the battle was locked onto by another pirate above it, and a string of cannons with a vengeful rage smashed it into several pieces, and shards flew everywhere.

A pirate is using its speed to hover and bite the tail of the two Emmels, just when the pirates with the advantage of maneuvering completely set the other party in their crosshairs, suddenly the wingman of the two Emmels rolled out, the pirate hesitated a little to keep up with the long plane, and was immediately locked by the third Amyer who rushed over in this gap, the wing was hit by a few shells and was knocked off a sharp corner, and the long plane also took advantage of the situation to go around from behind its ass, the pirate could only swoop down helplessly, trying to use the speed advantage to get rid of the opponent, But at this time, the wingman spun around and rushed back, a string of tongues of fire flashed, and the pirate was blown up.

Of course, this is only an isolated phenomenon.

More of a scene is that the pirates used their physical advantage to chase Emel with a hammer, pressing the opponent to the ground and rubbing it fiercely, the air battle only lasted ten minutes, and the German losses reached more than forty planes, and the double advantage of quantity and quality is pushing the Heavenly Justice Brigade to a brilliant victory.

This battle loss ratio is already quite serious, Xu Zhonglin listened to the battle report but did not have any joyful mood, the other party was so inferior to the loss to fight with him, obviously there were other plans. The fierce battle situation made it impossible for the pirates to retreat, and seventeen fighters had already withdrawn from the battlefield one after another, twelve were shot down by the other side, and five were returning with wounds.

As it turned out, his predictions were accurate. The patrol group on Athena's side on the periphery of the battlefield soon came with the news: "Admiral, a new group of planes has been discovered due north, and it is approaching us, a hundred planes!" Engage the enemy in ten minutes. ”

Anne also received information from her side: "A large group of enemy planes have been spotted southeast of Meenland Island, the number of which is unknown, but they seem to have fought with another group. ”

Hey, hearing this situation, Xu Zhonglin knew that today's things could not end well. Sissi's safety must be guaranteed, if the other party gets air supremacy, he can't imagine that kind of scene. If the plane is lost, it can be rebuilt using resources, and if the ship is gone, it will never be resurrected, and he can tell which is more important.

"Don't get entangled with each other, climb intensively, and have another wave of dives. Disperse the current group of enemies and prepare for the next group. ”

Since he was dragged and couldn't leave, Xu Zhonglin planned to use practical actions to tell the other party that he was not easy to mess with. The number of remaining aircraft on both sides is equal, and their own side has a performance advantage, so there is no need to coward.

At least there was good news from Anne's side, and whoever helped him drag another group of enemy planes was a favor he recognized. Now that the situation on the battlefield has gradually become clear, and the immediate troubles have been resolved, his girls will be able to return home smoothly.

With his order, the battle situation above the sea changed again. The pirates took advantage of their speed to shake off the entangled Emmel and began to climb in unison. The other party obviously discovered Xu Zhonglin's intentions, and naturally he would not let him get his wish. The remaining seventy or so ME-109s did not dwell too much on them, and turned their noses and rushed to the north, apparently trying to converge the large forces and concentrate all their forces.

Xu Zhonglin, who had a wishful thinking, was not disappointed, his purpose was originally to delay time and leave room for Anne to rescue.

Will the fledgling little Anne be up to the task?

On the other side of the battlefield, Eleto closed her eyes in agony as she watched the two Stukas swoop in. Through the anti-calculation calculation, she had realized that it was impossible for her to avoid the remaining three torpedoes and four bombs at the same time, and the speed was lost too much in the last evasion, and it was too late to speed up.

The rest was a question of how to choose, and without thinking about it, she came up with the answer - she chose to avoid all the torpedoes and withstand the opponent's aerial bombs.

There is nothing wrong with this option, the threat of torpedoes is much more lethal than that of 500-kilogram bombs. If the bomb hits her favorably, at least she doesn't lose speed yet. But once the torpedo hits, it will inevitably reduce the speed of her escape's biggest capital. This is the best choice in desperation.

As for the problem of being hit by two aerial bombs, she didn't dare to think about it at all, if that was the case, she would have to say goodbye to her admiral and sisters forever.

"Karape, Cleo, Ulania, Melpamini, Talia, Tepsgori, Polyhenia, Euthebi...... Farewell, my sisters. In the future, I will eat more delicious food, and introduce me to a few new dishes every year on my death day. And Admiral, don't be sad for me, I love you. ”

When Xu Zhonglin received the little girl's last words, his heart ached, and endless despair surged into his heart. He now regretted his order to attack, why did he put these girls in such a dangerous situation?!

"Nope! Ileto hold on! The other eight goddesses of the Muse exclaimed.

Eleto never imagined that she was so nostalgic for the call of her sisters, and if God could give her a chance to live, she would cherish it.

"How can it be so easy to die?!"

God didn't listen to her call, but Anne did.

For Eleto, Anne was God in this moment. When she opened her eyes, she found that a stuka in a dive was directly blown up by the volley.

Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation!

Two pirates roared by, opening a door to her life, which was undoubtedly a ray of light.

"Avoid it with all your might, Eleto!"

At this time, there is no need for Anne to remind her, and the little girl knows how to do it.
