Chapter050 Next time assemble a cigarette tanker
When Mio Habara's three capital ships began to engage the siren fleet, several of the destroyers that had been mined before also pulled up the smoke, allowing the smoke to envelop them and the three light cruisers at the same time.
For a moment, several clouds of smoke appeared on the sea, and from the smoke flew a dense artillery line and attacked the nearest siren battleship.
"If only we had a little henchman who could pull cigarettes for you."
Wang Yu said to Anna with great interest: "She is here to provide a vision, you can squat in the smoke and output to your heart's content, but I don't know if the destroyer designed by our world can use this smoke generator after the ship is generated here." ”
"It should be okay, these smoke come from the ability of the ship's mother." Anna thought for a moment: "But it seems that not all ship girls can have this ability, if the commander puts a smoke generator on me, it may only release ordinary smoke." ”
Wang Yu nodded and didn't say much.
Annapolis has not yet moved to a suitable place, so it is not possible to fire at this time for the time being.
In order to let Wang Yu know the battlefield situation, in addition to the location of the warships on both sides, Anna also marked the range of smoke pulled out by the destroyers in the Habara Mio fleet on the map, which was indicated by a white circle, and at this time, the smoke released by the six destroyers formed a large smoke array, so that the battleships could even move and fire in the smoke array.
Wang Yu looked at the map, as if he had found a new point of interest: "Speaking of which, are those destroyers the smoke that was pulled up at the same time?" ”
Anna affirmed his inquiry.
This made Wang Yu pout: "The smoke lasts about the same time after the destroyer pulls the smoke, since Habara Mio needs the smoke to ensure the concealment of the light cruiser and the destroyer's fire, then why do you have to let the destroyer pull the smoke together?" ”
"What the commander meant was that letting the destroyers pull smoke in batches would allow for a longer period of smoke."
"yes, take turns." Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this way, maybe the smoke can be maintained throughout the battle, ensuring that those lightly armored ships can be protected from the threat of siren artillery fire to the greatest extent." ”
Anna thought for a moment, "Maybe Commander Mio Habara has some battle plan." ”
"Perhaps."
Wang Yu thought that Mio Hahara didn't necessarily have any battle plans, and these destroyers probably thought that a wave of smoke would be enough time for them to cause enough damage to the sirens, so they didn't think about resuming the smoke.
And in his opinion, destroyers have a better job to do than pull smoke and wash it.
But that's not going to happen for now.
In short, although the caliber of these light cruisers and destroyers is not large, the small-caliber high-explosive shells still have some fire ability.
For example, the Helena in the light cruise, this battleship has fifteen 152mm guns, and the projection volume of one round can cover a siren battleship, so even if the ignition expectation of a single shell is not high, it can still make the siren ship burn and continue to suffer damage if the number of hits increases.
And if the distance is close, you can also use armor-piercing shells to hit areas where the sirens are not protected by heavy armor.
This can also cause damage to the sirens, and since the hit points are mainly concentrated in the unarmored superstructure of the sirens, it is nicknamed "scraping the upper layer".
The same goes for the destroyers, who patiently wait for their torpedo tubes to be reloaded.
This is different from the previous world, the destroyers in this world have torpedo reserves, because they can use the power of the ship to protect the torpedoes from being detonated, so it can also realize the thing of putting a round of torpedoes at sea and then loading a round and then releasing this kind of thing.
The density of the firepower of the light cruiser and the expulsion, the quality of the firepower of the capital ship, caused a lot of damage to the sirens, and the previous siren battleship, which had been pumped by Amagi with two cores, was on the verge of sinking under the concentrated fire of the Habara Mio fleet, and several other siren battleships were slightly damaged, and the hull had already begun to burn flames.
But again, as the sirens reacted, Mio Habara's side didn't feel good.
More than ten minutes after the battle began, Mio Habara asked the ship's lady on her side to ask when Wang Yu could start attacking.
As the Sirens regrouped and launched a counterattack, her fleet was quickly outnumbered by the Sirens in terms of projection due to the small number of warships, and the three capital ships detected became the targets of the Sirens' concentrated fire attack due to the light cruisers and expulsions in front of them temporarily hiding in the smoke and firing.
With such dense firepower, even if the shipwives have the intention to avoid it, they are unable to dodge all the artillery fire.
In the face of some incoming firepower, the battleship can only resist hard at a salvo angle, but fortunately, the distance is remote, and under the premise of increasing the armor equivalent at the angle, the sirens cannot achieve too much effective penetration of the core area of the battleship for the time being.
At the same time, the sirens are also good at igniting this technique, so when Wang Yu looked over there, he found that the stern of the Amagi was already burning with a dazzling flame, and the light formed by the flame just made the hull of the ship a black "silhouette".
If you look closely, you will see that the area of the Amagi that is not covered by armor has also begun to show the scars formed by the hit, but these injuries are not serious for the time being.
But no matter how you say it, it's a damage.
The ship's mother is similar to the siren, and after the hull is too badly damaged, it will also break out or sink in battle.
Mio Hawara's main fleet and the sirens are basically starting to exchange injuries for injuries at the moment.
It's just that due to the early deployment and the constant attacks of those light patrols, the sirens are now a little more seriously wounded.
But over time, this situation will be reversed.
Therefore, this kind of future that everyone can see is enough for Mio Hahara to feel anxious.
Her plan is not to let her main fleet take on the main force of the sirens alone, according to the plan made before, at least Annapolis needs to suppress the sirens, otherwise her fleet alone will definitely gradually fall into disadvantage.
Wang Yu looked at the current situation on the sea and sighed.
By witnessing the fleet battles in this world, he felt more intuitively why Mio Habara said before that it would take the fleets of three commanders to deal with the main fleet of the Sirens.
Because this world seems to have no scheming at all, and the main DPM competition with the sirens is to let destroyers and light cruisers join the shelling queue.
To put it simply, whoever can fight the other side before they suffer serious losses will win.
Wang Yu is not saying that this is wrong, mainly in his opinion, simply letting all warships collide and sirens to compare DPM is definitely not as useful as rationally distributing the work of warships and grasping the initiative on the battlefield.
Let's say, the application of non-capital ships.
Taking destroyers as an example, Mio Habara asked destroyers to pull smoke and shell stealthily on the front line, which can indeed increase the density of firepower to attack the sirens, but in Wang Yu's opinion, the artillery fire of a destroyer is limited after all, and they can play far more than that.
In addition to opening up the field of vision, covering teammates is also a crucial part of the destroyer.
If it was Wang Yu's command, he would let a destroyer stay by the side of the capital ship, and pull smoke at all times to let the ship's mother avoid the detection of the sirens, even if the smoke is not strong in covering the battleship, but at least it can allow the capital ship to temporarily avoid the fire of the siren battleship, so that even if the front line is less than the firepower of two destroyers, it can protect and better protect the capital ship.
Or simply a destroyer moving to the side of the battlefield, and then throwing mines at the sirens who are engaged with their main forces, is also much better than simply squatting in the smoke of the first line and relying on artillery output like the current one.
He had thought about handing over the battlefield to Mio Hahara, so he didn't give such a suggestion, but looking at it now, Wang Yu thought with some hindsight that he should have pointed out her deployment at that time.
So, according to her wishes, let Annapolis supplement the lack of output of Habara Mio's fleet.
Annapolis is almost in place, and it's okay to fire a little earlier.
Wang Yu glanced at the map and immediately selected the target for Anna to attack.
