Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 306 Counterattack and Air Raid

Malan Sea Area.

Dusk has fallen.

Under the dim sunset, this battlefield once again fell into flames of war after a brief period of calm.The Royal Navy, which was originally at a disadvantage due to insufficient supplies, when its flagship Hood was damaged by Mirage's first shot, all activated their reserve ammunition and used the short and sufficient ammunition to start counterattack against Mirage's unformed fire suppression. system.

Fierce artillery fire replaced the sunlight, illuminating the slowly darkening sea area.

The sea was filled with the pungent smell of gun smoke.

"Drilling Fish" never expected that the Sea Soul Troop, which was already at the end of its strength in her eyes, would still be able to fire as much as it did in its heyday after the flagship was seriously injured by the "Blasting Fish"'s must-hit bombardment.

Her face sank slightly, and the two mirages on both sides also showed shocked expressions. "Explosive Fish" did not expect that the opponent would still be able to fight on the sea after taking such a powerful shot from him, and be able to use the main gun to fight back against the mirages. Although judging from the power of the shells, this seaman The soul is definitely in a state of serious injury, but this does not mean that "Explosive Fish" will feel better.

Twice!
She has already taken action against Jialan's sea soul twice!Both times were different sea spirits, but the results were similar. She did not achieve the results she imagined. If the last time she attacked Veneto, she still failed to deal damage because of Veneto's shield. If you come, it will be a little strange this time!

Logically speaking, the power of your own shells can definitely kill the opponent in an instant... Why is this?
"Firefish" probably would never have imagined that Hood had a natural fear of battleship-caliber shells because of some indescribable dark history. Sometimes a small graze could make her stare. Cutely refill your ammunition depot.

Before being attacked by the "Explosive Fish", Hood's ammunition depot had been soaked in seawater for several hours.Therefore, when the cannonball exploded on Hood, it only had normal power, but no detonation damage.

In other words, if the first bombardment of "Explosive Fish" is a sure hit plus a critical hit, when she hits Hood, it is a sure hit, but there is no critical hit.

This difference in damage caused Hood's blood volume to stay at or above the broken blood line, and with the repair of the ship's own damage tube, her injuries were slowly healing.

The ship girls' counterattack quickly achieved results. At the moment when the mirages were negligent due to losing their suppressive position, the ship girls' counterattack caught them off guard. In the first round of shelling, a "squid" He was directly hit by Nelson's shell and died half an hour later because the electric spark ignited the fuel. The billowing smoke heralded that the entire battlefield had entered a white-hot state.

Rodney and the Vanguard also achieved results one after another. Their shells seriously injured a "squid" and lost power, making it a living target on the sea. They were hit head-on by Lion's shells 15 minutes later. It directly became debris on the sea.

Hood's luck was obviously good today. Although she looked a little embarrassed when fighting the mirage of Malan Island before, she showed unusual luck when fighting the mirage of Violet.

First, the ammunition depot was filled with water in advance, which prevented a sudden death on the spot. Then, although her shelling in the broken state failed to achieve results due to insufficient power, it also achieved some unexpected achievements.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, a Hood shell hit a "squid". Although it failed to cause fatal damage to it, it destroyed the rudder of its left foot.

Later, Rodney took advantage of the victory and took advantage of the victory. He fired one shot and directly won the victory.

At this point, in the three hours after the battle with the mirage troops on Violet Island, the ship girls had killed three "squids" and wounded two.

However, at this time, the effectiveness of the reserve bombs was running low, and the Royal Navy's fuel supply to maintain speed was about to bottom out, and it had to slow down to save fuel.

The mirages thus gained some respite.

After breaking free from the firepower of the ship girl, "Drilling Fish" saw that the sea soul on the opposite side finally showed a tired posture, and immediately ordered his men to attack with all their strength.

"Firefish" pursed her lips, although she didn't really want to obey the coward in front of her, but after all, the other party was the first-line commander of Violet personally appointed by "Anglefish", so she had to obey.

Although the "Drilling Fish" does not have as powerful a main gun as the "Explosive Fish", its experienced accuracy can be said to be superior to other mirages other than special abilities. After the firepower suppression of the ship girls is reduced, it is less than In 10 minutes, her bombardment hit Hood head-on.

Hood, who had just recovered, was hit again. One of the main guns was directly blown up. He was also slightly dizzy from the aftermath of the explosion. If the vanguard hadn't caught Hood quickly with his quick eyes and hands, he would probably have fallen directly to the sea. above.

Hood bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the instant sting made her regain her consciousness.After regaining consciousness, Hood had no time to check his injuries and immediately led the fleet towards Malan Island on the west side.

Under such a disadvantage, she had to use the terrain of Malan Island to defend. The "Drilling Fish" couldn't figure out the opponent's thoughts, so he immediately ordered a pursuit.However, with the blessing of the Royal Parade, even the slowest Rodney and Nelson far exceeded the speed of the Mirages.

After a while, the two sides pulled away some distance.

After the range became longer, the Mirage's hit rate dropped sharply, and the ship girls also got a chance to breathe.

However, the good times did not last long.

Before Hood and others could breathe a sigh of relief, a loud noise came from the sky in the north.

Looking past.

Taking a closer look, the sky was completely dark.

Hood carefully identified it, and suddenly felt a little desperate.

That's not Lexington's plane.

Then there is only one truth...

The "Flying Fish" troops are coming.

In the case of insufficient supplies, Hood and the others were already a bit stretched in the face of the main force of the mirage on the sea, but now they had to face air strikes. The pressure on this battlefield was definitely not ordinary.

Hood bit her lip lightly, and the slight tingling made her quickly get out of the lost state, and began to arrange tactics in an orderly manner.

After arranging defensive tactics, she immediately connected to Lexington's communications.

——We have observed traces of "flying fish" and expect to make contact in 15 minutes.

Communication is like a stone sinking into the sea.

On such a fierce battlefield, every minute waiting for support is torture.

Two minutes later, Hood received a communication, but it was not from Lexington, but from Reputation.

The Iris's fault has been eliminated, and supplies of the Reputation and Prince of Wales have been completed.

Huang Jiang, who received the news of the failure of the Hood Iris, had already dispatched all Tirpitz and Bismarck on Iris Island. Now they have joined Renren and Wales on the Iris, and the four ship girls have formed A fleet is on its way.

It's a good thing to have support...but how to get through the current difficulties?
Hood looked calmly at the sky, and the mirage plane was getting closer and closer.

The communication rang again, Lexington's answer.

There was no comfort, just a simple reply:

-I see them.
