Chapter 114: Perched Sea
"Sister. ”
Jiang Yan jumped onto Rodney's port side deck and went with Nelson to the supply port.
Because the day before yesterday, this naval fleet had only attacked once, and there were still many admirals who had just recuperated, or the ship's mother had just come out of the repaired port and went to the supply port for replenishment.
When sailing past me, I would sneak a glimpse of it.
Rodney stopped talking several times, and when he saw that the supply port had arrived, his face suddenly showed a look of loss.
Jiang Yan comforted: "When I return to the imperial capital, I will let you all unload the ship." ”
It would take five to six days to return to the imperial capital from the Lanelli deep-sea habitat at the speed of a naval fleet, and then there would be so much time to spend with my sister.
Young master is so good!
Rodney said gratefully, "Thank you, young master. ”
Nelson could see that his sister was going to say some confidential things about the Jiang family, otherwise he wouldn't have taken care of the rest of the admirals and the ship's mother.
At the supply port, the rest of the Jiang family's shipwives also appeared.
Nelson really knew only one fantasy, and after sweeping the other seven ship girls, he had already judged what kind of ship mother it was.
In the end, his eyes fell on Lexington, this is the Jiang family's aircraft carrier mother, who was responsible for reconnaissance and sweeping during the day when she set out on the expedition.
If the Jiang family's fleet used to be the Nelson-class two battleships, it has now been transferred to Lexington.
Moreover, it is more suitable for this position.
In addition, there is a battle cruiser Niang, two light cruisers and three destroyer Niang, one of which is still a G-class destroyer Niang.
The Jiang family's fleet had actually become so powerful in less than half a year.
"The young master is really powerful. ”
Nelson knew in his heart that this was not an easy task, and the young master and his sister must have experienced a lot of dangers during this period.
It's like clearing the deep-sea habitat of Lisri, although she also wants to know the details of the process, but it's not time yet.
"Young Master, Nelson can't follow you on the expedition, I'm sorry. ”
Nelson said with reproach as to whether his words would be heard by the rest of the admirals and shipwives.
Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head, "You are in the Imperial Navy, it is enough. ”
・・・
At present, I am in a hurry, and I don't say much.
I came to Nelson because I wanted to borrow the mobile port of the naval fleet for resupply, and I asked about the current situation of the deep-sea habitat in Lanelli.
After the Jiang family's fleet was far away from the steel battleship, Jiang Yan took out a scroll of nautical charts from his sleeve and unfolded it.
This is a copy of the habitat chart drawn by the naval fleet, even if it is the admiral of the other ten great families, he can't even think of it.
As with the continental charts, the Larnelli deep-sea habitat is shown in three shades of color, with the outer part of the central part of the habitat now painted light green, and the light red and dark red symbols within the central part of the habitat.
"Young Master, please give an order. Rodney said.
"The body of the battle-class perch-class perch ship seems to be a little repulsive to the Jiang family's bloodline, and it seems to be okay to use the battle-cruiser-class perch ship as a medium, but it is not suitable at the moment. ”
Jiang Yan's fingers moved between the markings of the chart, and finally landed in a crimson arc, and said: "Go and reconnoiter this sea area, if you find a four-star heavy cruiser-class perch, go to meet it, if not, go to this place and look for an ordinary heavy cruiser-class perch." ”
"Yes!"
The fleet immediately turned around and continued to move away from the Imperial Navy's grounded position.
When the Imperial Navy fleet clears a deep-sea habitat, the average Admiral comes and has only three options.
Either turn around and leave, or choose to temporarily integrate into the fleet and be under the command of the navy, or stay away from the range of the Imperial Navy, and fight against deep-sea habitat ships outside of it.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as deliberately influencing the actions of the Imperial Navy, and the punishment will be severe.
The sea area chosen by Jiang Yan is almost on the edge of the Lanelli habitat, and the terrain is complex, which is not suitable for large-scale naval operations.
Moreover, the deep-sea habitat ships are very strict in defending this area, for fear that the naval fleet will be broken into pieces, and after breaking through, they will enter in batches and penetrate directly into the depths of the habitat.
However, Jiang Yan knew that since the Imperial Navy fleet had an overwhelming number of admirals and ships, it would not choose another way, unless it had a greater strategic advantage.
Steady and steady is already the way to minimize losses.
This strategic location was heavily defended by deep-sea dwelling ships, and naturally it had been excluded from the condition, in other words, there was no trace of the activity of the Imperial Navy here.
Buzz!
Five high-altitude reconnaissance planes took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier and quickly disappeared from view, and as soon as Lexington approached its destination, it had already cautiously begun reconnaissance operations.
"How?"
Jiang Yanyao looked at the faint island at the end of his vision and asked.
Lexington stretched out his finger and gestured on the unfolded chart, "There are three deep-sea fleets here, they are ordinary fleets, and the location of the channel and islands behind the waterway mouth next to it is incorrectly mapped, it should be like this..."
There is an aircraft carrier, and conducting reconnaissance can be much less time and effort. The nautical chart in Jiang Yan's hand was obtained by the destroyers sent out by the naval fleet to conduct reconnaissance one by one, and some deep-sea habitat ships occupied positions, so they could only repeatedly send water reconnaissance planes.
"It was discovered. ”
At this time, Lexington said, "Admiral, there is indeed a purple heavy patrol inside, do you have to sink her?"
Lexington said this, which means that the purple heavy cruiser is not easy to bully, and it is obviously a case of a lot of frigates.
Jiang Yan thought for a while and said, "Give up the battle and go to the nearby habitat sea to find a heavy cruiser-class perch ship to sink." ”
In this strategic sea area, the Imperial Navy fleet needs to use continuous, wave after wave of offensives to take it, and it is almost impossible for the Jiang fleet to defeat it at present.
However, using Lexington's explosive output, it is still possible to temporarily make a gap, rush in or lure the purple heavy patrol out, but in this way, it is estimated that thousands of aluminum have not run away again.
Effortless and resource-intensive!
After finding out the distribution of deep-sea habitat ships inside, Jiang Yan decisively gave up and went to the vicinity to find an ordinary deep-sea fleet.
Originally, the Jiang family fleet had no problem dealing with the general deep-sea fleet, but now that the number of formations is already one and a half, it will be easier.
Before the deep-sea fleet saw the appearance of enemy ships, two of the six perched ships had already been sunk, and the remaining perched ships were quickly sunk one by one in the face of the strong firepower of Rodney's counterattack, and in the face of the attacks of Helena and the fireflies.
Jiang Yan naturally paid attention to the performance of the fireflies, but the opponent seemed to be too weak, except for the obvious increase in the power of the artillery, he couldn't see any difference between him and before the transformation.
One heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, two destroyer-class perching ships.
Carried by Rodney to the site where the heavy cruiser ship's sinking, a bright red magic circle formed with the flow of blood.
Jiang Yan shook his palm, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
