"What about the configuration and number of enemies?"

Abigail immediately walked up to Roy's side, and the elegant girl's body fragrance suddenly lingered on the tip of her nose. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Two light cruisers, six destroyers, at a speed of 33 knots."

"Fast fleet...... Abigail thought to himself, frowning, "This is the Sentinel Fleet of the Deep Sea. We'll either ignore them, or we'll strike them with all our might and quickly wipe them out. If we don't completely destroy the enemy and let go of any of the deep-sea habitat ships, our presence will be exposed. ”

Abigail was absolutely right.

But how to destroy this fleet is a slightly trickier problem.

Because she has too few cards in her hand at this time.

Logically speaking, to deal with such a fast and small fleet, the use of aviation is the most ideal choice. No matter how fast the enemy runs, it is impossible to escape from the scrubbing of torpedo machines and dive bombers.

However, the problem is that in order to seize air supremacy, the air carriers in the fleet adopt an all-fighter configuration, and they have no sea attack capability at all.

The only option left is to fight on the surface of the sea to deal with the enemy.

But in order to meet the ideal conditions for the rapid destruction of the enemy, the dispatched fleet must have an extremely high speed - at least 33 knots more than the enemy's speed. In addition, it must have extremely strong firepower, which can sink all enemy ships in one or two salvos.

And now the shipwives in the fleet, battleships with enough firepower, the speed is not up to standard. The expulsion and light patrol that reached the speed was up to standard, but the firepower was not enough to quickly break the enemy.

You must know that the "ghost" and "Ji" class flagships in the deep-sea habitat ships have telepathy established between them and other deep-sea habitat ships under them. If you can't quickly break the enemy, or even let go of one or two deep-sea habitat ships, it means that your side has been discovered, which is extremely unfavorable to the next operation.

"It seems that we can only give up the engagement, choose to change course, and avoid this sentinel fleet. But this will not only delay a lot of time, but also leave hidden dangers......" Abigail thought.

Seeing that Abigail had not made up his mind, Roy knew that his chance to earn his battle was coming.

Since the task requires him to be promoted to general, then he can't play low-key, he must behave well, so that the Admiralty can realize his strength and value as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I have applied to carry out this attack mission."

"You?" Abigail looked at Roy, his blue eyes glinting with scrutiny.

"Major Roy, although I don't have much contact with you, I don't think you're a stupid person who is full of enthusiasm for battle, or a fool who is desperate for the sake of his achievements. I don't think your fleet has the ability to quickly annihilate that Swift Sentinel fleet, though. As I recall, your Musashi speed was only 27 knots at its peak. ”

Abigail didn't speak again. Roy knew that the other party had given him a chance to convince her.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, although Musashi will be involved in the battle, she does not need to catch up and attack with the main gun." Roy said.

In fact, after his reinvention of the Musashi ship, the power has been further strengthened, the seaworthiness has also been improved, and she is now fully capable of running at a high speed of 34 knots. It's just that Roy didn't tell Abigail.

"And how are you going to annihilate the enemy?"

"With torpedoes."

"You're going to rush over and throw a mine at close range?"

"No, I'm going to drop a mine twenty nautical miles away."

"Twenty nautical miles, is your ship's mother equipped with a standard A?"

The "Mark" is a compact submarine equipped with two torpedoes, which can be carried on heavy mine-mounted cruisers, or on specially modified ordinary cruisers and submarines.

However, a torpedo attack with a standard is not a long-range lightning strike strictly speaking. Because its combat mode is just a variant of the "air carrier-fighter" mode.

Moreover, the combat efficiency of the first standard is not high.

Roy shook his head and said, "I developed a new type of torpedo based on Japan's acid torpedo, which I named a type of wire-controlled guided torpedo. The range is 30 nautical miles, and the speed is 60 knots. The target data is obtained through radar irradiation, and then the control command is transmitted to the logic circuit on the torpedo by the optical fiber wire, and the navigation route is constantly corrected, and finally the target is hit. ”

Time was of the essence, and Abigail did not think about the impact of this new torpedo on the mode of naval warfare, let alone why Roy was able to match the technical strength of the General Administration of Naval Research. You must know that in order to improve the hit rate of torpedoes, the General Administration of the Navy has also engaged in a lot of research and development programs, but the closest to successful sonar-guided torpedoes is still in the engineering verification stage.

What she is concerned about now is the actual combat effectiveness of this torpedo.

"How sure are you?"

"My wire-controlled torpedo has been tested three times with live ammunition, and the hit rate has reached 86 percent against a target ship at a speed of 35 knots at a distance of 20 nautical miles."

"Good." Lieutenant General Abigail bowed slightly, then raised his voice: "Major Roy, I have approved your request for sortie. Be sure to deal with the enemy quickly and neatly! ”

Then, she said: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Hao, Lieutenant Colonel Murakami Shimizu, your fleet will also set off immediately and detour to the flank of the enemy fleet at maximum speed. If Major Roy's attack is not effective enough, you will be able to sweep the tail. ”

Lieutenant General Abigail, who arranged it perfectly, did not pin all his hopes on Lowy's new torpedo.

Roy took a deep breath and put on his helmet.

After the increase in spiritual power, he could feel that his consciousness was like a cloud floating in the endless void, and seven golden threads stretched out and connected with the other seven clouds.

"Attention all!" Roy ordered.

The seven ship ladies who were sailing on the sea all heard Roy's voice in their heads.

"With Musashi as the flagship, switch to a single vertical formation, with maximum speed, and advance towards the enemy ships. Musashi, keeping the radar on the target illuminated the whole time. ”

"Yes, Admiral!"

The seven shipwives immediately took action, smoothly and perfectly changed the formation, full horsepower, and the waves stirred up under their feet suddenly doubled.

After some time, the distance of the fleet to the target was reduced to 15 nautical miles. For a large warship like Musashi, 15 nautical miles is the limit distance. If you get any closer, you'll be detected by the Deep Sea Fleet.

Roy gave a new order.

"All turn left, torpedo tubes fully open, salvo!"

Brush Brush Brush ......

Starting from the three five-pack torpedo launchers of the island wind, a total of 43 wire-controlled torpedoes flew into the water, splashing beautiful water and silently rushing to distant targets.

In the fleet, in addition to the sound of water during sailing, all that remains is the "squeak" sound of the cord reel constantly releasing optical fibers.

In the joint operations command room, there was also silence.

The hearts of many admirals are hanging to their throats.

If Loy's torpedoes can effectively destroy the enemy, it will not only mean that they have won a skirmish, but also that the torpedo technology will be made by leaps and bounds, and the mode of naval combat will also change. Although it may take a long time for this new torpedo to become widespread, it nevertheless gives humanity another hope of overcoming the deep sea.

After a long silent wait, suddenly, a dull series of explosions came from the distant horizon.

"Hit?"

"Definitely hit!"

"A message came from the Condor's Zero reconnaissance aircraft. The results are confirmed! Six enemy destroyers of the A class and two cruisers of the E class, all destroyed! ”

Cheers burst into cheers in the command room!

Roy smiled calmly and took off his helmet.

Before the Condor sent back the message, he already knew the outcome of the battle.

Shimakaze, which fired the most torpedoes, sank two cruisers, one destroyer in one fell swoop. As a result, she gained a lot of experience points, and her training level increased by one level. These messages are fed back into the brain through the spiritual connection of the two.

"Good job, thank you." Lieutenant General Abigail smiled and walked up to Roy and handed him a creamy latte.

"Oh, Lord Abigail actually made Roy's own coffee!"

"Damn it, lucky boy."

Roy automatically filtered out the noise in his ears and the envious and hateful eyes of his colleagues.

The coffee tastes great, rich and mellow, with a hint of vanilla syrup. Moreover****** it is also a little helpful for recovering the mental power consumed.

"How's it taste?" Abigail asked in a whisper, "I've only made coffee for my father, but it's a pity that he is full of praise every time, and there are no other comments, so I don't know how good I really are." ”

"It couldn't have been better. You should trust your father. If I take two more sips, I think I'll get addicted. ”

"Really?" Abigail had a rare smile on her face that only a girl of her age could have. But the smile was fleeting, and she quickly regained her military seriousness.

A cup of fragrant coffee temporarily eases the tension caused by the battle.

After six hours on the lead guard mission, Roy waited for the time to take a break.

Ordering his shipwives to return to the ship for supplies, he also left the joint operations command room to treat his empty stomach.

The environment of the officer's cafeteria is very good, and the food and beverage supply is also first-class. Roy ordered a special warship curry and found a corner where no one was around.

He wanted to dine quietly by himself, and by the way, he thought about how to make his fleet achieve the greatest success in the next battle.

Suddenly, Roy, who was immersed in eating, felt a darkness in front of him, and someone sat across from him, blocking out the light.

He looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.

"Priest Guo, what a coincidence." Roy swallowed a piece of curry pork chop and said.

There would be a military priest on the warship, and Roy knew that. However, he didn't expect that the one who followed the Athena on the expedition this time was actually Priest Guo Miao, who had a little friendship with him.

"It's no coincidence that I've come to you, Major Roy." Priest Guo stroked his brush beard, and the old god was in the way.

"Please."

"I'm going to give you a gift." Priest Guo pulled out a wooden box from the wide priest's robe.

Opening the lid, Roy sees a four-leaf clover woven from palm fiber.

"What kind of handicraft is this? Lucky Charm? ”

"Major Roy is really well-informed." Priest Guo said, "This is a talisman made by Miss Ma Luyou, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Sect, and after the ship's mother wears it, it can greatly improve her luck." ”
