ACT357: Accidental loss of contact
"General Yamamoto, it's been two weeks, two whole weeks! We haven't been able to find Caesar yet, and I'm afraid that if we delay like this, we won't be able to find anything! β
"General Campioni, don't worry! Your country's Giant God Soldiers will definitely be recovered. β
"Do you dare to promise me, then?"
"Uh...... This ......"
More than two weeks after the loss of Caesar's news, the Italian fleet commander Campioni's love affair was already on the verge of collapse.
For a country, the problem of losing a fleet is far less serious than the loss of a giant god soldier. After all, the battleship can be rebuilt if it is gone, and the sailors can be retrained if it is gone, and once the giant god soldier is gone, then we can only pray that the domestic archaeologists and diggers can one day step on the shit luck and dig another one out of the ground!
So Campioni couldn't imagine how much anger the dictator would have taken out on himself if he fled back to Italy empty-handed, and let Mussolini know that he had not only lost the strongest giant soldier in their country, but also carried the daughter of the prime minister!
In comparison, Yamamoto Fifty-six does not have as much psychological pressure as the other party! At present, the losses of the Japanese side are only those fast gunboats of the army, and the navy has seized the opportunity to gain a mine in vain without spending a single soldier, and the beautiful Yamamoto can put down three bowls of dry rice just by thinking about it.
So don't look at Yamamoto Fifty-six at this moment, his face is concerned as if he has been an old friend for many years, in fact, he doesn't care about Campioni's life or death at all! IJN engineers had been preparing to tow the asteroid for a week before, and they planned to bring the site back to the controlled area near Gate 1 for mining. Although the current environment of this star field is good, the enemy situation is complex and far away from the star gate, which is very unfavorable to the logistics fortune.
However, Yamamoto's idea of lack of virtue was not conveyed to the search force along with the order, and he only verbally told Yamaguchi Tawen to know how to "do what he can", and the other party set off with a comprehension. The grassroots soldiers below are still faithfully carrying out the search mission, especially the aircraft of the air force, because they are better suited to operate in the complex and narrow vine sea than destroyers. So be extra busy.
While Yamamoto Fifty-six was still pretending to persuade Campioni to relax, the fleet ahead was carrying out the search mission as usual. The Type 96 fighters that took off from the two ships of Feilong and Canglong entered the Fujihai Sea in a two-plane formation and inspected the divided areas one by one.
And Yamaguchi Tawen, who had just finished contact with the Tang Army, was transferred from the Kii to the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier as soon as he returned. Looking at the busy scene on the flight deck, Yamaguchi said with heartfelt emotion.
"Sure enough, the lively atmosphere on the Wyvern's side makes people feel comfortable, and although the food in the cafeteria on Kii's side is more delicious, the atmosphere on the ship is weird."
"I'm sorry that the food here isn't as good as the battleship! Your Excellency, Commander. β
"Fly, Wyvern!? Where did you come from? β
"Before you even got off the airship, Xia Guan was already here."
Looking at the slightly gloomy girl in front of him, Yamaguchi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The Wyvern's Celestial Maiden had a close personal relationship with Yamaguchi, which was not a little unknown in the Second Air Force. Many gossipists, such as a certain heavy patrol, have spread rumors that these two people are actually a taboo "man-ship love" relationship.
But it's worth mentioning. Yamaguchi Tarumi is only the commander of the Second Air Battle, and the captain of the Flying Dragon is actually Kalaiji Osa. So this rumor has become the story of the "Minotaur", and Calais Dazuo is also depressed under inexplicable circumstances.
But in fact, there is a bit of platonic ** between Yamaguchi Duowen and Feilong, and it is far from the kind of Cheng dΓΉ of the "God of War" Dongxiang back then.
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Yamaguchi was about to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, when he noticed that the flying dragon was holding a cute half-sized cat in his hand, and suddenly seemed to have seen a "savior". Pointing to the kitten, he asked.
"Where did this little guy come from?"
"I came from my sister Canglong, she has a pair of cats that catch mice, and gave birth to a litter of babies a while ago, and I waited until these little ones were weaned to ask for the most lively one."
"Oh! Does it have a name? β
"Yes!"
"What's it called?"
"Tawen Maru (Yamaguchi Tawen's nickname)."
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of the Wyvern's obvious "revenge". Yamaguchi Duowen couldn't help but smile bitterly, at this time, several fighters who had gone out to search returned to the mothership, Yamaguchi Duowen looked up, and his face suddenly changed.
"How are there only 3 planes? Dragon. You sense, where is the missing one, whose landline is it? β
The two-plane formation is a dispatch requirement that Yamaguchi Tarumi has emphasized. They are in an area infested with enemies, and the two planes working together can help increase their survival rate in emergencies. So as soon as Yamaguchi saw that the planes coming back were not even, he immediately knew that something was wrong.
"I found out, the one who didn't come back was Second Lieutenant Hegu Kirito of the 3rd Squadron, I haven't sensed the location of his plane at the moment, but I can be sure that his plane was not destroyed."
Because Fujikai has a strange masking effect, although the effective distance between the assimilated clone crystals and the mothership has not been shortened, the mutual induction has been greatly weakened. The Wyvern could only sense that his little clone had not disappeared, but it could not accurately locate its location, let alone directly control it to guide the other party back to the mothership.
Faced with this uncertain situation, Yamaguchi waited for the returning fighter to land, and then found another pilot who was partnered with Kazuya.
"Second Lieutenant Wuhe, what's going on? Why didn't your wingman come back? β
"Report to the Commander, Kazuya and I accidentally got separated during a search mission below, and the radio on my plane was malfunctioning, and communication has been intermittent. In his last communication, Kazuya said that he had found something very big, and then he was never heard from. On the way back to the briefing, I ran into Kanshu and Seno's team, and they provided me with escort. β
"Well done ensign, you're doing it right. Now I need you to tell me about your position and 'depth' before you lost contact with Second Lieutenant Kazuya, and it is related to whether we can find your comrades. β
Based on the distance provided by Gokawa and the on-board radio, Yamaguchi quickly plotted the approximate location of the missing fighter on a flat map and marked the "relative depth (vertical distance from the plane where the flying dragon was)."
Yamaguchi Tashi calculated the time and found that less than half an hour had passed, and there was still a possibility of pursuit, so he decisively issued an emergency combat order.
"Pass my orders! Second air battle, sortie! (To be continued......)

PS: The four pilots of the second air battle in this chapter, the name pinched him several male protagonists who are known for "wanting to do it" in the four animations (laughs)!
