In the next few days, Akon and Zhang Fan successively upgraded the equipment on their bodies to blue, which made the defense of the three of them significantly increase. However, the equipment during World War II was not the most haode, and after the two decided to come up with this scene, they collected some more advanced equipment to upgrade.

"Zuihou has been upgraded to green armor and weapons, so once and for all, you can upgrade yourself in the future, and the frequency of use of armor and weapons is very high, especially armor, which has been worn, and there are many opportunities to upgrade in the scene." Akon sighed.

"That's a lot of merit!" Zhang Fan is also looking forward to it.

"Armor: helmets, combat uniforms, body armor or armor, combat shoes; I already have a melee weapon, and I want a ranged one, one for each of your melee and ranged ones; A total of 17 pieces of 170,000 meritorious service points! 500 merit points cost, huh! 3500 merit is worth a blue prop, which is not expensive. We're going to sell at least 57 blue items. Akon calculated quickly.

"It's better to get three more shields, if you add amulet necklaces, rings, bracers, and so on. That's a lot of merit to cost! Akon wrenched his fingers and thought more and more.

"Wake up! Wake up! It's daydreaming again! Zhang Fan patted him on the head.

"Don't hit the head!" Akon is most annoyed by others hitting him on the head, but this big head is just provoking people to beat.

Then Akon sighed again: "Thinking of an upstart like us, the merit value is stretched, what should the other vow-holders do?" ”

"Take your time, and arm our main attacker, Miss Greenwing, first. She has a lot of time to charge, and the danger is great! Zhang Fan said: "Protect your big head again, he is wrecked, and we are all in trouble." I'm from the logistics team, it's not a big risk, and there are few weapons to use, so it's okay to be late. ”

"You have the most trouble, the least physical strength, just touch it." Akon said: "You're finished, who are we looking for such haode skills as support, and how can we earn merit points!" ”

"Yes, now your defense and physical strength are the weakest, and you are the most worried!" Greenwing chimed in.

"Let's discuss it slowly after this scene." Zhang Fan said. "Maybe we'll get a lot of money! Now that we all have 50,000 or 60,000 merit points, find a way to trigger the point hidden quest again. Akon, you can tell us in detail about the details of the development of this scene in the future, and see what breakthroughs there are! ”

"The biggest recent event was that in October, the Japanese sent two battleships to bombard Henderson Field, and then sent four heavy cruisers to bombard Henderson Field in two shells for the main fleet, bombarding nearly 1,000 rounds of 356 mm shells and more than 2,000 rounds of 203 mm shells! Almost total paralysis of US military airfields. ”

Then its combined fleet poured out of the nest and seized sea supremacy in one fell swoop, causing the US military to lose sea supremacy and air supremacy! The Japanese army on Kuah Island quickly received strong reinforcements, and the number of Japanese troops on the island increased to more than 20,000 and nearly 100 artillery pieces! ”

Akon cleared his throat and continued: "Then the commander of the Japanese army on the island commanded the very cruel battle of 'Blood Ridge', the fierceness of the battle was rare in World War II, as a result, the Japanese army was defeated by the fierce firepower and tenacious combat of the US 1st Marine Division, and the Japanese elite 2nd Army was almost completely wiped out. ……”

"November ......," Akon continued. was interrupted by Zhang Fan: "Wait a minute! This October is probably the key point of the land battle on Kuah Island, right? ”

"Yes!" Akon replied.

"Then the most critical thing is that the Japanese bombardment of Kuah Island paralyzed Henderson Airport and lost air supremacy, right?" Zhang Fan asked again.

"Yes." Akon replied, asking, "What do you mean?" ”

"I want to try to hold them back when the Japanese fleet shells Kuah Island. Maybe it can relieve the pressure on the airport side and reduce the loss. Then if he goes away for a long time, the battle of 'Blood Ridge' can be fought more easily. ”

"Yes, the attack of our three high-grade props should be able to cause a little damage to the Japanese battleship." Akon nodded. "The Japanese shelled the airfield at close range in Iron Bottom Bay. We find a way to intercept them at sea! In addition, in order to prevent the Japanese army from being attacked by the US airfield aviation during the day, the shelling was concentrated at night, and for the sake of shelling, the speed of entering Tiedi Bay was very slow. Our target is hiding in the cape or close to summon attack, they can't find it at all, it's very safe! ”

"If we can disrupt the Japanese shelling, maybe we can buy time for the airfield to transfer planes, aviation fuel and bombs, and try to gain as much combat capability as possible for the airfield. In this way, the reinforcements of the Japanese army on the island will inevitably be intercepted by the American army! Zhang Fan added.

"In the past two days, we have conducted on-site surveys, looked for vantage points, and found targets to test-fire. Let's see how powerful that dark gold item is against the sea? Akon began to calculate: "In early October, the Japanese army's 'Tokyo Express' was very frequent, and every night after the destroyer unloaded, he had to stop by to shell the airfield, and we had a chance!" On October 11, there was also the famous Battle of Cape Esperance on Savo Island, and if there were any Japanese ships that slipped through the net and sailed into the waters near the airport, we could also try to attack them. ”

"yes, let's get a faster rubber boat first." Zhang Fan said: "We will go to Tiedi Bay to fight guerrillas in the past two days, and even if there is no dark gold prop of the 'Kirishima', after those two green props approach the enemy ship, I am confident that the destroyer will lose its combat effectiveness." ”

The three of them had decided on a plan, so they went their separate ways. Zhang Fan and Green Wing went to get some props for use at sea, and Akon stayed behind to continue upgrading the props. Of course, according to Zhang Fan's meaning, they are all upgraded defensive and auxiliary props, ready to be sold to other ring holders in the future. I won't get the offensive ones, who knows when I will use them on my head!

At night, the sea breeze is calmer and the moonlight is dim, making it a good day to visit Iron Bottom Bay at night. The three of them followed the Longa River next to the airport and took a rubber boat to Iron Bottom Bay.

The sea is so dark that normal human eyes cannot distinguish near objects. The trio is a vow-bearer, and their perception has a high bonus. But apart from Zhang Fan, it is also difficult to distinguish distant objects. I'm afraid that the destroyer will not have time to dodge if it is rammed. Fortunately, a new item has been upgraded:

'Reconnaissance Telescope' (blue): A bizarre military telescope that can discover what you want to see in any situation. This is a telescope that can be used in any scene.

What he wants to hide, I will make him visible. An app that increases visual perception by 500% and allows users to perceive without being affected by any situation. 30% chance to spot deliberately hidden objects.

Under certain conditions, the role of auxiliary props is also very large!

"When will they arrive?" Zhang Fan asked Aken.

"Usually around 12 o'clock, we are now on the course they must pass. It is estimated that the Japanese warship will be spotted in about 45 minutes. Akon said, looking at his pocket watch.

"Then you guys rest for a while, I'll see farther away, and I'll stare first." Zhang Fan said: "When the Japanese warship approaches, I will inform you." ”

Akon and Greenwing nodded, resting separately.

Zhang Fan sat alone in the bow of the boat, and the quiet sea made Zhang Fan's perception stretch far away. But no matter how far away, it was a dead silence. The battle for supremacy at sea for months has made the animals in this sea area run away without a trace. Zhang Fan seemed to be able to feel the souls of the countless warships and planes that were silent at the bottom of the sea.

The sea is so tolerant, if it were on land, so many shells and bombs would have bombarded the ground with holes, just like around Henderson Airport, bomb craters and plane wreckage everywhere. And the sea surface is still calm when the war is a thousand times more tragic than the land, and all the grandeur is resting under the water!
