"Unrecognized signal found, number 12, seven o'clock direction!"

Standing up and taking the costume from Bismarck's hand with a solemn expression, Lilan took a deep breath. The next moment, a flat voice sounded in the communicator of 38 ship girls, including King Kong and other ship girls, under the coverage of the signal tower.

"The battle begins!"

The first to be dispatched were the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, which had been in electromagnetic silence near the southwest, and there were basically no tactics to speak of, with Long Feng and Long Xiang seizing air supremacy, and then relying on heavy cruiser armor and naval guns - frontal combat!

"This is the ancient eagle, find the target"

"Report Composition and Formation"

"Yes, the enemy's ship composition is mainly destroyers and light cruisers, and there are only two heavy cruisers......" Sorting out the news he got from Long Xiang, Gu Ying quickly reported to Li Lan: "The formation is a double and complex vertical formation, do you want to attack?" ”

Spotting the fleet...... It's really rich.

Rilan's brow furrowed.

The two fleets were used as "consumables" to explore the way and step on the mines in front of them, and it is conceivable that the fate of these two fleets was already doomed from the beginning, even if they were not sniped here, they could not escape the fate of destruction after entering the back line of defense of the Federation.

Their only value is to try to get the enemy's strength out as much as possible before they are destroyed, or to delay the fleet in the rear for a longer period of time.

However, even knowing the other party's intentions, Lilan had to bite off this "bait" - along their course, the ambushed mine station was likely to be discovered.

Come to think of it. Li Lan directly ordered: "Long Feng and Long Xiang seize air supremacy, pay attention to the support forces of the deep-sea habitat ship, and the others - trapezoidal formation." Frontal Attack! ”

I think that when she was guarding the mansion in the seventh town, Li Lan couldn't penetrate the armor of the deep-sea heavy cruiser by all means, and finally forcibly overdrafted the light energy to dig a gap for Ning Hai to sink her.

And this time, a total of ten heavy cruisers plus two light aircraft carriers faced these fragile destroyers and light cruisers, plus one had intentions and one had no intention, and even occupied air supremacy. Lilan really couldn't think of a reason to lose.

And the battle that followed was exactly as he expected.

Distant at the sea level, faintly catching traces of fierce battles through the restless elemental particles, at the same time. In the communicator in my ear, the briefings from Guying and Kaohsiung have not stopped.

"All of the Second Fleet - a salvo from the port side!"

"Hit the enemy's forward fleet, two destroyers were broken, and the forward light cruiser was broken"

"The enemy fleet formation is starting to change!"

"Everyone. One more round—"

"Yes!" X11

Even at such a great distance. Lilan also seemed to feel the smoke and artillery fire that filled the battlefield.

The roar of the naval artillery salvo instantly filled the entire communication channel, and the violent vibration brought by the sonic blast seemed to crush this "delicate" electronic instrument, and he reluctantly moved the communicator slightly, and Li Lan could only confirm the battle situation in the distance through the faint sound.

The sound of successive explosions lasted for nearly five minutes before it stopped, mixed with the noise of the signal chaos, and the tired and excited voice of the ancient eagle sounded: "Hiss-report-hiss-Admiral-hiss-"

Without hesitation, the left hand pressed on the communication center in his hand, and with a faint blazing white light, the originally chaotic signal stabilized again.

"-- The suppression of the enemy's fleet has been completed. Will it be annihilated? ”

Looking southwest, his eyes narrowed slightly. Li Lan said in a deep voice: "Allow sinking"

"Yes!"

―――――― Split ――――――

"Lord Admiral, an unidentified signal has been spotted in the southwest direction, approaching in the direction of the First and Second Fleets—"

"Quantity 24 - speed 30 knots! Expected to be in contact after 23 minutes! ”

It was a lot slower than expected......

"Gaga, can you determine their composition?"

"Yes...... Gaga is approaching ...... See! ”

A voice of surprise came from the other end of the communicator: "The composition of the enemy fleet is dominated by cruisers and destroyers...... Like, it's all light cruisers? ”

Li Lan couldn't help but be stunned: "Light cruiser? ”

Gaga continued with some hesitation: "Yes, but it seems to be a little different from the previous cruisers...... Nor like a heavy cruiser......"

Suddenly, Akagi's serious voice interjected: "Lord Admiral, those are Lei Xun!" ”

Without waiting for Lilan to ask, while alerting the rapidly approaching Thunder Cruiser, the girl explained to Lilan: "Thunder Cruiser is not a cruiser in the usual sense, compared to the gun firepower of ordinary cruisers, they are better at torpedo offensive, and the attack power and attack distance, as well as the accuracy are higher than that of destroyers!" ”

"Thunder Patrol ......"

Thinking about the significance of the appearance of such a ship, Lilan immediately ordered Gu Ying and Kaohsiung in the distance: "Retreat according to Plan B - be careful not to be discovered by them"

"Guying/Kaohsiung accept the order and retreat immediately!"

Originally, I wanted to solve those deep-sea battleships equipped with super firepower first, but I didn't expect that there would be ships like deep-sea mine patrols...... You can only take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Lilan suddenly turned to King Kong behind him and said, "On the basis of the original resources, add 1,000 to each unit!" ”

“what？”

"There is no mention of this deep sea in the intelligence, and if it weren't for Akagi's reminder, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet would likely suffer heavy losses, and even if the follow-up plan was avoided in advance, it would have been disrupted, so I asked for an increase in compensation"

Towards King Kong, who had not yet figured out the situation, Li Lan confidently demanded: "Otherwise, for the sake of the safety of our fleet, I have the right to make them abandon this plan and retreat immediately!" ”

King Kong, who finally reacted, couldn't help but be dumbfounded-he had seen the shameless, but he had never seen such a shameless one.

If Lilan dared to say this a few days ago, the Federation might have dared to directly abandon this part of the plan and replace it with its own fleet, but now it is being blackmailed like this......

Hiei on the side couldn't see his eldest sister being "bullied" like this, and slapped the table (directly smashed) and said angrily: "You-"

(Promise him)

The words that were about to be said suddenly choked, and Hiei, who was pointing at Rilan, couldn't help but feel blue and white with one hand, and just looking at Riran felt uncomfortable for her.

“ok，ok…… Really, but it's just a little resource......"

Stopped Hiei's "anger" - it seemed more like giving her a step down the ladder to Rilan.

King Kong looked at Lilan with dissatisfied eyes, and could see that Lilan's words just now had wiped out her favorability by a bit.

Still, Lilan felt it was worth the money.

Not to mention that the resources of those 4,000 units can already add a few more ships to the field fleet, the information parsed from that signal alone is enough to make Lilan return to his roots.

really

The palm of the hand opened, and a trace of electromagnetic signal invisible to the naked eye quickly annihilated.

Lilan said silently in his heart.

The other, technology that surpasses this era...... (To be continued......)
