On the thirty-fifth day, the storm was coming.

East side coast.

"The whereabouts have been exposed, let Ning Hai knock it down"

Looking at the three reconnaissance planes that were constantly circling and flying around the "base" in the sky, Lilan's current mood was on par with the gloomy sky above his head.

Compared with this maritime reconnaissance aircraft, the Z16's radar ship may be better in long-range detection, but after entering the combat range, it can play less than half the role of a reconnaissance aircraft, and the only thing that can be relied on is the water element horizon.

After receiving the sound of Li Lan's instructions, he made a gesture towards Ninghai on the other side, and the two 76-mm anti-aircraft guns on the Ninghai ship immediately chased the hovering reconnaissance plane and spewed out a long tongue of fire.

When the deep-sea habitat ship was already on alert, only one reconnaissance plane that was hit by a sudden burst of fire was torn to pieces on the spot, and the remaining two immediately retreated in a maneuver.

With the powerful maneuverability of the reconnaissance planes at the expense of firepower and armor, coupled with the degree of control commanded by the ship's mother, it is indeed quite difficult to hit them.

"Keep the formation and leave them alone"

Fortunately, it was just a reconnaissance plane with no attack power, otherwise this battle would have basically been lost before it began.

It only takes a few carrier-based aircraft with harassment capabilities to be dispatched, and the Lilan side, which has weak air forces, will have to spend a lot of energy to deal with them, and then another round of ultra-long-range artillery bombardment when the carrier-based aircraft contain the enemy......

"The anti-air forces are too weak......"

Looking at the two reconnaissance planes in the distance, Ning Hai in the rear also slowly withdrew to restore the formation, and Li Lan decided that after this battle, a battleship with a certain air defense force must be built no matter what.

Just as Lilan was thinking, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Admiral, news from Z16"

"What is it?"

"The opponent's speed has been increased to 25 knots, and contact is expected in 10 minutes"

Rilan's brow furrowed deeply, and the speed of 25 knots ...... This is almost included in the ranks of high-speed warships, and even if they want to evacuate at that time, it is impossible to get rid of the pursuit before the fuel is exhausted at the speed of Ninghai, unless they are evacuated now, but-

Where can I evacuate?

"In every sense of the word, it's all or nothing"

Taking a deep breath, his eyes quietly closed, and when he opened them again, he was already a pale blue patch, and before the end of this battle, the water elemental horizon, as the only detectable method within the battle range, could not be unlocked in any way.

The tone became indifferent under the deliberate control of Lilan, if even the commander fell into a negative mood, then there would be no need to fight this battle that was already a huge disparity between the enemy and us.

"Inform Ninghai to prepare, in the direction of 4 o'clock, and directly start the longest-distance shelling in 3 minutes"

"Let the Z16 go 300 meters in the direction of 5 o'clock, pay attention to intercept the shelling, if those reconnaissance planes appear again, let the Z16 solve it, I don't believe that the rapid-fire cannon consumed by 1.35 units per second will not hit those damn mosquitoes"

"We ...... Be silent for now"

"Yes!" Unlike the Z16, the military salute made by Hibiki is extremely standard.

As if sensing the flames of war that were about to ignite below, the clouds that had been piling up in the sky for two days slowly moved.

“…… Ringing"

"Yes, do you have any orders, Admiral?"

"Will your torpedo be affected during a thunderstorm?"

After hearing Lilan's inquiry, Xiang looked at him with some puzzlement, but still replied with a serious expression: "If it is within 3000 meters, the error will not exceed 5m!" ”

3000m……

This is already within the scope of ship-mounted combat, and at this distance, any attack from the naval guns has almost no time to dodge, and with the loud "small body", it is almost conceivable the consequences of being hit head-on by the naval guns.

“…… I see."

On the surface of the sea, the strength of the sea breeze increased little by little, but it still could not have any impact compared to these steel killing weapons, and the time of only three minutes was terrifyingly long at this moment, until the roar came from the Ning Sea in the rear.

On the rising sea, the first low roar tore through the terrible silence, revealing the hideous reality of steel beneath it, and the smoke and blood coexisted.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The deep-sea habitat ships that have been sure that their tracks have been discovered, directly attacked Ninghai with three main guns in response to the long-range artillery bombardment - their naval artillery attack range is even longer than Ninghai!

Under Relan's orders, the Z16, which had already occupied the best interception point, relied on two rapid-fire guns to detonate the shells on the surface of the sea.

"35.64 degrees south of the east side, 13,054 meters away"

The pale blue color circulating in the pupils almost seemed to overflow the eye sockets, and under the overload of the water elemental vision, Rilan could see the detailed movements of almost any unit in the field of vision above the meter.

After receiving the command conveyed by the ring, Ning Hai fine-tuned the direction of the ship's guns, and in the low roar, tongues of fire erupted from the 140mm twin guns again.

This time, it was no longer a splash of water on the surface of the distant sea, but a red flame.

"Hit - let Ning Hai continue to attack, her speed was suppressed"

"35.93 degrees south of the east side, 2.3 altitude, let the Z16 pay attention to interception"

“…… Admiral ......"

"The opponent's deep-sea habitat ships are all heavy cruiser combinations, pay attention to the underwater torpedo attack, and let them pull the battle line to the beach"

“…… Lord Admiral......"

The crimson flames exploded on the sea surface again, and under the horizon of the water element, the heavy cruiser that was hit by Ning Hai's main gun twice in a row was already far behind the other two deep-sea habitat ships, but the heavy armor was destined to sink like this, and even the loss of combat effectiveness was estimated to be too serious.

Two destroyers plus one light cruiser against three heavy cruisers.

"Enter the second stage, let Ninghai and Z16 leave where they are, and surround the base to rely on terrain advantages to avoid operations, be careful-"

"Lord Admiral!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Lan, who was interrupted from his train of thought, lowered his head a little anxiously, but was stunned to find that he was reflected in his blue pupils.

The warm sensation runs down the cheeks, with a slightly pungent smell of rust.

Wiping the blood from his face, Li Lan showed a habitual smile: "It's okay, you can recover after a few days of rest, and it's still-"

"Leave the rest to Hibiki," the petite girl didn't give an inch: "All the Admiral needs to do is to see how we win!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Lan's reaction, Hibiki took a step forward directly, and the aura surrounding her changed instantly.

"Destroyer Hibiki, attack!" At this moment, Lilan could see clearly what was burning in Xiang's eyes-

"Let me know that this name is not called for nothing-" A faint red halo spread to the entire battleship with the sound as the center.

"Mimic shipwear, immortal bird!"
