Chapter052 Doom Strike!
It has been a while since the battle officially began.
Although they had only sunk one siren, at least many had already been damaged.
Naturally, their own fleet was also injured to a certain extent.
The Annapolis in the distance may be the current confidence of Mio Hawara, if it weren't for that battleship, she probably would have chosen to leave the battle for the time being and run away with the sirens instead of continuing to fight the sirens here.
At night, the side of Annapolis was constantly flashing with cannon fire.
And the Siren's capital ship also quickly jumped out of the bright light effect that was hit by the shelling.
Obviously, the output of that ship is stronger than that of the light patrols and expulsions in front of it that wash in the smoke.
Speaking of the light cruisers and destroyers ahead, they are already in a bit of trouble.
Due to the smoke of the non-capital ship of the sirens, they soon approached a relatively close distance, and then threw a lot of torpedoes into the smoke.
A single torpedo from a siren is enough to destroy a destroyer, severely damage a light cruiser, and cripple a heavy cruiser, and only a battleship with exceptionally good mine protection belts can take a few shots.
And now it is this torpedo that covers a large area on the surface of the sea, and the long white trail looks palpitating.
Mio Hawara's shipwrew, apparently anticipating that the sirens might be torpedoed blind, so they were ready to dodge and maneuver the moment the battleship's hydrophones spotted the siren's torpedo.
But then they had to get out of range of the smoke - but the duration of the smoke was coming to an end, so it was okay to leave the smoke a little earlier and start maneuvering.
It's just that they will have to face the Siren's firepower next, and at such a close distance, the three light cruisers and six destroyers are basically fighting with the Siren's non-capital ships, and it is certainly not an easy battle to win.
As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the non-capital ships of both sides, and the rapid-fire artillery battle formed a bridge of artillery fire between the two fleets.
In this regard, Wang Yu commented - if you destroyers didn't hand over all the cigarettes at the same time just now, then at least a group of cigarettes could be left at this time to cover the retreat of these non-capital ships or continue to fight.
However, after the fact, Zhuge Ling had no choice, and Wang Yu could only ask Anna to pay a little attention to that side while washing the big ship - compared to Habara Mio's main fleet, these light cruisers were vulnerable to more serious damage once attacked.
And it was at this time that Mio Hahara's fleet appeared for the first time with heavily damaged battleships.
After the light cruiser and destroyer left the smoke, they naturally became the main target of the latter because they were closest to the sirens, and the capital ships including the sirens had all adjusted their muzzles, and the targets were moved away from the ships such as Amagi King Kong in the distance.
So the dense firepower suddenly covered the sea where those non-capital ships were located.
Despite the best efforts of these light ships to dodge, there were still surprises in the face of dense siren fire.
During one of its turns, the Helena did not dodge a shell fired from the large-caliber guns of a Siren's capital ship.
While the other shells missed, one shell ran straight through her deck armor, and then, straight from top to bottom, pierced the roof of Helena's core, eventually exploding in the engine room.
A flash of fire rose from the hole in the hit point, and as the engine room was attacked, a thick burst of black smoke with a fire rose from Helena's chimney.
Helena on the bridge snorted in pain, her slender hand gripping the railing tightly - although most of the time the damage to the hull of the ship does not reflect on the ship's mother, it is obvious that the damage to the core area is not among them.
She endured the pain, activated the ship's ability, magically repaired the damaged engine, restored the battleship's maneuverability, and then took advantage of the speed not to drop too much, and pulled away as much as possible, but this is an expedient measure after all, Helena has now entered a state of breakage, and she can't suffer similar damage again, otherwise there is a possibility of directly losing assimilation.
The ship's loss of assimilation to the battleship is about the same as sinking.
Mio Habara on Amagi's side also immediately came to the window, looking worriedly at the battlefield where the non-capital ships of the two sides were fighting, and Amagi also adjusted his firepower in a timely manner, turning the target of the attack to the non-capital ships of the sirens.
When her destroyer and light cruiser saw this, they immediately used their own artillery fire to cover Helena.
But fortunately, after all this time, their torpedoes were almost loaded.
They immediately pulled away, and the torpedo was fired at the non-capital ship of the Sirens who were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.
Those sirens really evaded, although the direction was different, but it was always an opportunity for other ships to attack.
The first to seize this opportunity was not the ships of Habara Mio's main fleet, but Anna on the other side.
She keenly noticed the movement of a Siren cruiser, and then at the moment before it turned, she aimed at the waterline position of the Siren cruiser during the turn, and directly activated the burst fire mode, and the three-wheeled cannon roared out.
Wang Yu glanced at her with some surprise.
After a moment of shell flight, these three rounds of armor-piercing shells accurately hit the side of the Siren cruiser with a large turn, and the first two rounds of attacks directly filled its core area, and a series of explosive fires rose from its side, and then these fires merged into a larger fire, and the Siren cruiser was directly killed in an instant!
Devastating Strike!
Annapolis slashed the second sink of the battle!
This is the ability of the magazine gun to seize opportunities.
The sirens' lightly armored warships can be severely damaged or even sunk if they are not careful.
And the Celestial City side also had a high idea of attacking because of Helena's injury, and a large amount of heavy firepower was projected, which quickly sank some of the Siren's other non-main warships in a short period of time.
This can be regarded as a temporary relief from the urgent need of light cruisers and destroyers.
So Amagi and the others once again turned their attack back to the main force of the sirens, and Anna moved even faster than them, and after the cooldown period of the burst of fire ended, the dense fire once again enveloped the sirens - which also provided a target for Mio Habara, and she let her ship follow the target of Annapolis to concentrate the fire, and the pressure on the fleet to sink one earlier would be reduced.
Finally, with the cooperation of the battleship, the Siren's capital ship No. 2 was declared to have exploded and sunk.
Anna quickly adjusted her target to keep the fire delivery uninterrupted.
But Amagi's body has added some scars, this ship girl with nine plush fox tails and pointed fox ears can be said to be the main force of this battle, she has endured the shooting of at least six or more siren warships, and relying on the ability of the ship mother to persist so far, it is estimated that no one can stop the achievement when the battle is settled......
Moments later, two Habara Mio's light cruisers took out one of the Sirens' cruisers by gathering fire, expanding the victory.
In general, the situation quickly became clearer.
The sirens have lost a lot of firepower advantage, and although the fleet on Mio Hahara's side is damaged, and even has serious injuries like Helena, at least they have maintained their combat effectiveness, and in the face of the remaining sirens, the advantage will only grow.
This battle, if it continues, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Siren fleet.
However, according to the previous discussion, Habara Mio did not want the damage of his fleet to expand further, and it was also to save soup for the other two commanders, so they would not continue to destroy the remaining warships of this siren fleet.
Wang Yu asked Anna to tell Mio Habara that she would sink another siren and prepare to withdraw from the battle.
Calculating the time, the fleet of the other two commanders is also almost in place.
