Chapter043 Accidents
Around midnight, Mio Hahara had just finished meeting with the other two commanders.
The other two commanders brought a fleet of about the same size.
After a brief discussion, the three fleets decided to disperse and enter the interception area from different directions, so that the search area could be extended to the entire sea area, and the sirens could not fly with their wings.
About half an hour after the separation of the three fleets, Mio Hawara's main fleet was rushing to the interception area at full speed, Mio Hawara, who was on the Amagi battle cruise, received two communications from the Annapolis fleet, short apart.
The first time, Annapolis said that they might have spotted a free siren and were ready to attack it first.
The second time, the message changed to "The target siren has been found", and asked her to rush over with the main force.
Mio Habara was a little curious about what was going on up ahead.
Could it be that in the process of preparing to attack the free sirens, he suddenly ran into the main fleet of the sirens?
Sure enough, it's still a little incomprehensible.
She looked at the coordinates marked on the map by Miss Amagi, which was the location to the southeast of the center of the interception area.
The successful discovery of the target was also the result of the search of the Annapolis fleet several hours in advance.
The other two commanders also need to scatter the fleet to search, while their own fleet can directly attack the main force of the Sirens.
At this time, their fleet was less than a hundred nautical miles from the Annapolis, and if the fleet was at full speed, including the sirens, they would be able to meet the enemy in about two hours.
On the other hand, the other two commanders did not have a clear goal at the beginning, so they needed to assemble the fleet they were searching for and rush from other directions to participate in the battle, which would take a longer time.
Due to the increase in accuracy and lethality, the naval battle between the ship mother and the siren will not last long, so for a period of time, it will be enough for Mio Habara and Wang Yu to cause enough damage to the main force of the siren and get the bulk of the reward for this special mission.
So Mio Habara gave orders to his own fleet.
All the warships adjusted their course at this moment and collectively picked up speed.
At this time, Annapolis was carefully adjusting its course under the nose of the Siren Grand Fleet.
Previously, the ship was sailing in the direction of the Sirens, and it was time to adjust the angle according to the concealment range of the Annapolis to prevent it from approaching again and being spotted by the Sirens' destroyers.
To put it simply, the hidden range of the battleship can be imagined as a circle centered on the battleship, as long as there is no enemy in the circle, then the battleship can guarantee that it will not be discovered, but once the enemy enters the circle, the battleship will be exposed.
Thanks to the surveillance radar still in operation, he could get a full range of Siren fleet movements in the remaining half hour, so he was also able to maneuver more easily.
Soon, Annapolis made a great turn of more than 100 degrees, and the battleship began to sail parallel to the Sirens, heading north.
The destroyer Arashi also began to adjust its position.
She realizes that she is tracking the wrong target, so she moves to the main siren side to continue scouting.
For example, if your destroyer starts with a pressure point, it turns out that there is no one on the other side after a long time, and most of them go to the other side in waves, so in order to maintain their own vision, the destroyer should move to light up the enemy's large forces as soon as possible.
Anna had already told the little girl that the current surveillance radar had a limited duration of effect, so it was up to her to maintain her vision of the sirens after the radar time was over.
So, the petite hull of the destroyer began to turn on the surface of the sea.
Wang Yu observed the movements of the Lan, and had to say that this girl was indeed well-trained, and she had a good control over her own concealment.
At present, she is turning like this, and she will pass the sirens at a very extreme distance.
Just enough to keep the Siren closest to her, and the former just outside her range of concealment.
This is limitless, but it minimizes the distance required to complete the steering.
She can move from this wave of sirens to the main siren force in the shortest possible time.
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the destroyer, half of which had been turned, and the remaining half should not be a problem.
So he turned around, ready to talk to Anna about the ship's hidden magic settings.
But before he could say a word, something happened to the siren.
The wave that preceded the two waves of the Siren fleet, the stray fleet, changed direction almost simultaneously.
They made an inward cut from the direction they were originally sailing due north.
Incision refers to the rotation of the bow of the boat in the direction of the other party, and circumcision refers to the rotation of the bow of the boat away from the other side.
Sirens adjusting their direction are theoretically normal, and there are no surprises in themselves.
But the point is that the timing of the siren's turn is too special.
So the moment he saw the siren adjust the direction, Wang Yu instantly realized that something was wrong!
Because the destroyer Arashi is in the process of making a big turn very close to the sirens!
If the siren itself maintained its original speed and course, even with a few minor adjustments, Arashi would have been able to keep the siren out of her own hidden range, but now that the siren suddenly cut inside and approached her, the situation was different.
Limited by the inertia of the battleship, it was difficult for Arashi, who was already in the process of turning, to move away from the sirens faster, and it was self-evident what would happen.
Whenever the siren changed direction a few minutes earlier or a few minutes later, Arashi had ample opportunity to adjust his position.
But the sirens unexpectedly changed direction at an extremely coincidental time, and the result was undoubtedly the beginning of the battle.
One of the Siren's destroyers changed direction and rushed straight into Arashi's hidden circle.
The little girl's heart suddenly tightened, she knew that at this moment she had been discovered by the sirens!
To be discovered by one siren is to be discovered by all the sirens in this area.
As a result, she could no longer care about maintaining the original maneuvering mode, and killed the rudder to the side in time.
She needed to make the turn immediately, turning the stern towards the sirens and giving them the smallest angle of attack.
At the same time, she also immediately turned on the engine overload!
In a short period of time, the energy of the mental core is used to overload the power system, and the original hull speed can be improved through this method, but this method does hurt the battleship, even if it is a ship, it does not dare to drive it for a long time.
But bursting out with unparalleled speed in a short period of time is enough.
At the same time, the siren's detached fleet also entered an attacking stance.
Fortunately, the noisy siren sirens on the Annapolis sounded loudly.
Anna also explained this matter to Wang Yu at the same time - in an instant, Wang Yu even had a little out of tune, compared to Anna's soft reminder, the alarm of the early warning was really noisy, and it must be removed if there is a chance.
In the distance, the siren battleship, which itself was hidden in the night, immediately burst out with flames representing the opening of the main gun.
I have to say that the attack efficiency of the sirens is really high, and they can concentrate fire the moment they find the target.
Seeing this, Arashi had to start constantly adjusting his course to avoid the incoming shells.
The destroyer's body is brittle, and every shell hit is a real damage, and the destroyer's ability is not as strong as that of the big sisters of the capital ship, so many times they dare not resist the siren's gunfire.
After the time for the bomb to fall was over, a large column of water suddenly exploded on the sea surface on the side of the destroyer.
Normally, a close miss is also very dangerous for a warship, and sometimes even more dangerous than a direct hit.
But in this world, the ship mother has the ability to protect the hull, and the shock wave in the water that the cannonball misses will be resolved by some kind of incomprehensible "force field", so as long as the cannonball does not hit the hull directly, it will not cause damage.
The survivability of destroyers in this world is also guaranteed precisely because of this characteristic.
In short, the first round of the siren's fire was well dodged by Arashi.
But dodging a round of cannons doesn't mean that everything is worry-free, even if only that siren free fleet is attacking now, it is enough to form a continuous firepower, and under this uninterrupted firepower, even if Arashi twists hard, he will inevitably be attacked in the end.
So, she can only drag out time now.
