Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Combined Fleet Strikes
The next day, it was sunny. yan()kuai
The dock on the south side of the Sixth Town Guard's Mansion, including the four of the Seventh Town's Guard, most of the shipwives of the entire Town Guard Mansion are assembled here.
It's just that this time their goals are different.
The combined fleet formed with the Seventh Town Guard as the core was mainly to carry out the suppression mission in the southern seas. The two fleets of the Sixth Town Garrison, on the other hand, were about to head north for another, but also more dangerous, mission - to reconnoiter the blockade.
"Electric sauce ~ come on~"
"Hmm!"
"Good morning, Lord Admiral~ Atago isn't late, is he?"
"No, you're just in time"
The personnel have all been assembled, and Lilan has also begun to explain the plan for this suppression mission.
The mission location is nearly 100 km away from the Sixth Town Guard, because of the approaching patrol line of the deep-sea habitat ships, the Sixth Town Guard has to regularly repel these patrol fleets, otherwise once the encirclement is really formed, I am afraid that this delicate balance will collapse in an instant.
Rao is so, but in terms of the current situation, the advance of deep-sea habitat ships is still irresistible, and after the resource delivery channel from the northern continent is blocked, the oppression of deep-sea habitat ships has intensified.
From the long gate, it was learned that the defense line of the Sixth Town Guard Mansion was even pushed to a place less than 30,000 meters away from the Town Guard Mansion at one point, which was extremely dangerous -- the deep-sea habitat ships above the heavy cruiser could directly carry out ultra-long-range artillery bombardment of the Sixth Town Guard Mansion at this distance.
After that, although they were repelled by the efforts of the ships of the Sixth Town Guard, the patrol line of the Sixth Town Guard and the deep-sea habitat ship was still stretched to a range of 100km~200km from the Sixth Town Guard.
What Lilan has to perform next is a suppression task that is only a "daily" difficulty for the Sixth Town Guard.
“…… That's probably it, try to make full use of our high speed advantage to carry out activities and combat with the enemy, everything is to protect yourself as the first priority, and I am responsible for instructing the time of formation change, understand? ”
"Yes!" X5
"That, Admiral~"
"Miss Atago, do you have any questions?"
"Ah, just call me Atago...... Will the Admiral also go with us? ”
Li Lan was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it? ”
"Eh~Lord Admiral's unexpected bravery~"
Hearing Atago's words, and the fact that Rether still did not appear on this expedition, a question appeared in Lilan's heart: Could it be that it is strange for the Admiral to go on the expedition with the ship's mother?
The weak explained to Lilan: "Generally speaking, this kind of mission that requires fighting with deep-sea habitat ships, the Admiral will not go out together."
“…… Hawkers, I'm used to it anyway" In the end, Li Lan still chose to perfunctory about this issue.
In any case, it is impossible for him to hide behind himself while his ship girls are rushing to the front line and wait for the result.
What's more-
His gaze shifted to Shang Ninghai's eyes.
From the beginning, it was already agreed.
"Let's go, then!"
―――――― Split ――――――
It is not a traditional fixed six-battleship formation, for this expedition, Lilan has already imagined in advance nearly seven kinds of corresponding formations, two of which are fleet formations that have never been mentioned in the materials of the Sixth Town Guard, although there is no way to get various parameter bonuses, but the simple variability and operability are far better than those standard shapes.
However, these basic formation movements are still needed at first.
Compound Formation.
On this expedition, Reeland took Eugen, the most powerful armored defense, as his flagship, and placed her in the center of the fleet, that is, at the very front.
In the rear of Eugen, it is the strongest attack force this time - the prototype ship Hibiki, and in the subsequent battle, Eugen and Hibiki, where Rilan is located, will break through as the core attack force.
To the left of Eugen is Ning Hai, and behind her is Z16, while on the right is naturally Atago and Den, who are the Sixth Town Guard.
Considering the familiarity and coordination of each other, as well as the position of attack and defense, this is the best position for the ship that Lilan can think of.
100km。
Under the control of the ship's mother, the speed of the battleship without additional load was greatly improved, and it soon reached the end of this distance.
After the addition of electricity, the reconnaissance force that was more than doubled was also quickly discovered, and the traces of the deep-sea habitat ship were soon discovered - the exclusive ship installation of electricity is a reconnaissance radar, and the performance is much more powerful than the radar currently used by the Z16.
"Lord Admiral, the telegram has found the enemy."
…… Why do you want to add one? I'm going to be nervous.
Lilan thought helplessly.
"Report the bearing, distance, heading, and their speed"
"Two o'clock, the distance is 43100m, and the direction is 7 o'clock, the shortest contact distance with us is expected to be 12600m, and the speed is ...... Near verse 20 says,
The detection range alone, the exclusive ship equipment of electricity is much stronger than the one that Z16 brought, perhaps because of the gap in the level of science and technology, after all, the radar equipment in the hand of Z16 was found from the seventh town guard, and the seventh town guard has been "falling" for more than 30 years.
Verse 20...... Good luck"
The speed of the deep-sea habitat ship is quite suitable, whether it is a lurking attack or a transfer and retreat, the standard high-speed warship on the Lilan side can be carried out very well.
Holding down the communicator in his ear, Li Lan calmly gave an order: "According to the second plan, all remain silent after dispersing, and after entering the range of 15,000m, Ninghai and Atago will carry out long-range artillery bombardment, and Z16 and electricity are responsible for intercepting and alerting possible reinforcements from deep-sea habitat ships, and directly raise the signal flag after discovery."
"If we are attacked first, we are allowed to counterattack, but we must retreat to the return route as soon as possible, understand?"
"Yes!" X6
In less than three minutes, the compound array that was conducive to strengthening dodging and reducing the area that could be hit was completely dispersed.
Ninghai and Z16 are facing northwest, Atago and Den are facing southeast, while Eugen and Hibiki are directly silent in place.
This time, the waiting time is no longer as long as it felt before, and it is also a matter of course, after all, they have been waiting for the judgment of fate before, but this time they are waiting for the judgment of fate - the fate of this deep-sea habitat ship fleet.
In the pale blue water elemental horizon, the black and purple ships that belong to the deep-sea habitat ships appear on the distant horizon.
At a distance of 18,000m, it was not attacked, and the single longitudinal formation of the deep-sea habitat ship did not mean to change, and the probability of not being detected exceeded 90%.
"Eugen, are you ready?" As if afraid of alarming the enemy 18,000m away, Lilan said to Eugen beside him in a low voice.
"Eugen is ready for your orders, Admiral"
"So—"
"Charge!"
