Although they have a strong mine attack ability, the armor of the deep-sea mine cruiser is not much thicker than that of a light cruiser, and their defense is destined to be unable to reach the level of horror of the deep-sea battle column - this is also a common problem of high-speed ships, and if you want to achieve superior speed, you must give up your strong defensive vitality.

In this case, even if the total number of ships reached an astonishing 4 full fleet, they still seemed to be overwhelmed after being attacked by carrier-based aircraft from Saratoga and Akagi, and under the signal coverage of the relay station, they did not even know where Akagi and Saratoga were, so naturally they could not fight back.

And after the First Fleet and the Second Fleet reversed and counterattacked, the fate of the four mine patrol fleets of the Delusional Fleet was already sealed.

However, such an easy victory made Rilan feel a little uneasy.

After a short time, Akagi's communication soon came: "Lord Admiral, we have confirmed the total annihilation of the enemy's mine patrol fleet, and request follow-up orders."

"Good, the transfer went according to the plan...... Furuying and Kaohsiung, how is the damage on your side? ”

"Yes, the First Fleet belongs, Kaku, Kinugasa Nakasha, Tone, Chikuma Kopo, and the remaining ammunition and fuel can still support a battle"

Kaohsiung continued in a calm voice: "This is Kaohsiung, the flagship of the Second Fleet, and the general situation is the same as that of the First Fleet."

"Understand...... Thank you for your hard work, now let's go back."

Putting a big tick on the circle of the second intersection, Lilan didn't have any smug emotions at all, but was even more confused.

The so-called delusional fleet, only to this extent?

"It's a little weird......"

Raised eyebrows. Li Lan looked at King Kong, the girl who had just finished enjoying the black tea time was full of confusion at the moment: "If it were them, it shouldn't be so simple and lose......"

Li Lan, who vaguely figured out a clue, immediately asked, "Can you explain it in detail?" ”

King Kong was stunned. Then he patted his head and smiled awkwardly: "Huh? Hawkers,It might also be an illusion of me.,I'm stupid anyway.,So these things ......"

…… You know you're a fool.

Shaking his head and giving up on finding a breakthrough from King Kong, Rilan pressed his hands to the shimmering communication hub.

If the so-called deep-sea habitat ships were only to this extent, the Federation Continent would not have lost so badly......

The next moment. Electromagnetic ripples, which are invisible to the naked eye, are centered on the communication center and spread rapidly in all directions like an explosion of energy.

Closing his eyes, Rilan's brows furrowed—though it wasn't the first time. But it's a terrible feeling......

Within the coverage area of the signal tower above the relay station, a three-dimensional image of the sea area with a radius of 175,000 meters clearly emerges in the brain.

Ninghai and Z16, which are on standby on the edge, Akagi and Gaga, which are transferring positions, the 1st and 2nd fleets retreating towards the relay station. The 3rd and 4th Mine Squadrons are distributed on both sides. and another signal radiation source not far in front of the relay station......

Nothing unusual?

Grit your teeth, hold back the dizziness in your brain, and increase the output power again.

Relay station, the top of a makeshift signal tower.

The signal core that was dismantled from the Fourth Town Guard seemed to have been suddenly stimulated, and a faint blue electric current flashed, and a pungent smell of burnt paste came out, but no one could notice this scene now.

The detection range with a radius of 175,000 m suddenly spread nearly 50,000 m beyond the edge under the forced urging. Even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough for Lilan to "see" those things.

Open your eyes. The faint blue arc flashed in the pupils, ignoring Bismarck's worried eyes, Lilan grabbed the communicator: "This is the command center, answer immediately if you receive it!" ”

"The third mine team received, this is the flagship supernatural power, what is there-"

"Retreat to the east, right now!"

Turning to the western sky, the water elemental horizon can only increase the ability to visually observe areas with a high density of water elements, and can do nothing about the sky, where the wind element wanders.

After a sigh of relief, Lilan continued: "The number of carrier-based aircraft close to 500 is heading in your direction, and there are two deep-sea fleets in the south trying to encircle the ...... in reverse" The tone paused: "You have been discovered"

—————— Split ——————

How the hell did they find out?

After letting the 3rd Mine Squadron retreat to the 4th Mine Squadron to the east, Rylan also began to think about this problem.

This time, the delusional fleet annihilation operation is completely based on the signal tower on the relay station - that is, the overwhelming superiority of intelligence, whether it is pre-war detection, camouflage encounters, luring the enemy deep, reverse encirclement and suppression, or emergency retreat, all of this needs to be carried out through a large number of intelligence integration and timely command orders, if this advantage is erased, not to mention that it will be as crushed as the battle on the Eastern Front of the Federation, but it is not a simple matter to win.

Could it be those two attacks?

No, during the battle, Lilan was always keeping an eye on that side, and if there was a detection signal emission source, it didn't make sense that he wouldn't be able to detect it......

Before Lilan could figure out a clue, from the edge of the signal coverage, the emergency communication from Ninghai had already sounded.

"Lord Admiral, there are good, many deep-sea dwelling ships here-"

"Calm down, Ning Hai!" King Kong and Bismarck in the rear also seemed to notice the abnormality of the situation, and for a moment all eyes were focused on Lilan.

Trying to soothe his tone, Lilan quickly said: "If you turn on optical concealment, they won't be able to find you, now tell me their number and composition immediately"

"Yes, yes"

Infected by Li Lan's voice, Ning Hai's panicked mood slowly disappeared: "The number of deep-sea habitat ships is more than 40, and Ning Hai can only see the 3 fleets in front, mainly battleships and cruisers, with a speed of about 25 knots......"

"It's okay, Ning Hai" quickly wrote down these two vague data, and Li Lan immediately said: "Next, immediately disconnect the signal and keep silent, and if no deep-sea habitat ships are found around after 30 minutes, immediately evacuate in the direction of the fourth mine team, understand?" ”

"Yes, yes, Admiral!"

"Very good, this is my starting ship"

After cutting off the communication with Ning Hai, the smile on Li Lan's face immediately disappeared, turned around, and said in a deep voice to Bismarck and the four ship girls from the Federation: "The current situation is a bit bad, the other party doesn't know what method to use to conduct reverse reconnaissance on us, and it has succeeded, not only the third mine team, I suspect that other fleets have also been -"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Kong with an excited face: "yahoo~ Are you going to war?" ”

"......" looked at King Kong, and Li Lan sighed helplessly

"In the current situation, we don't have time to divide and annihilate that massive fleet little by little...... For now, the only way to do this is to concentrate on the main force and fight them head-on! (To be continued......)
