Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 308 Night falls
The plane was gaining speed, and Vanguard could already hear the roar of its power source.

However, before the plane had time to drop the bomb, it plunged into the sea not far from the vanguard due to many reasons such as too large a dive angle and too fast speed.

boom!
The bomb carried on the plane exploded for unknown reasons.

"..." Saratoga, who had been paying attention to the battlefield below, was just about to say that it was too bad when she saw such a scene. She was silent for a while, smiled awkwardly, and explained for these mirage novices, "The first A dive bombing, that's a common thing."

Indeed, dive bombing is a technical job. Many aircraft carrier girls will have carrier-based aircraft crashes due to angles or timing at the beginning of their studies. Some of them crashed into the sea before they could even drop bombs. , some dropped bombs, but failed to pull the aircraft back, and hit the deep sea with the bombs, or rolled into the sea after a struggle.

Mirage is not a copy ninja, he can learn all tactics instantly.

However, Saratoga had to admit their courage. At least she did not dare to experiment with brand-new technology on the official battlefield. If she had time to crash the plane and waste aluminum, she might as well go for a drill without spending resources. .

The air threat faced by Hood and the others was finally overcome by the joint defense of Lexington and Saratoga.On Dafeng's side, she has perfectly completed the task of blocking the mirage troops. Although she failed to achieve the result of sinking, she still injured a few mirages. The damage caused by the explosion caused a sudden drop in speed. Although it can still operate after emergency maintenance, the speed has dropped significantly.

"Drilling Fish" had to order the entire team to slow down to ensure that "Exploding Fish" would not fall behind.This is not because of the friendship between the mirages, but if they lack this main output, the "Drilling Fish" will be very difficult to defeat. Originally, their current advantage was because the enemy on the opposite side lacked ammunition. Judging from the feedback from "Flying Fish", not only their own side, but also the Sea Spirit troops on the opposite side received air support from Jialan. The "Flying Fish" bombing was difficult to carry out. Until now, they have not achieved an effective attack and cannot prevent them from withdrawing to Malan Island.

In other words, if they catch up, what they will face next may be a hastily supplied Sea Spirit main fleet.

The advantage of supplies was gone.

And if we lose an absolute main force now, it is not certain whether we will be able to defeat them by then.

"Drilling Fish" ordered the whole team to slow down, and Dafeng also passed the news to Hood in time.

Hood breathed a sigh of relief. The pursuers would catch up soon, and he would have some time to replenish the ship's equipment.

Finally, through the efforts of the Lexington sisters, all the mirage aircraft over Hood's fleet had been cleared.

At this time, the sound of the sun was completely gone in the west, and its last remaining light seemed feeble and looming.

Night has officially fallen.

Taking advantage of the last ray of sunshine today, the aircraft carriers retracted their respective carrier-based aircraft, and Hood quickly ordered to turn off the lights and slow down the sailing.

Maran Island is right in front of you.

At 30 o'clock in the evening, after several hours of fighting and sailing, Hood finally led his fleet to Malan Island, which originally belonged to the Edelweiss Territory and was later occupied by the mirage of the Westerly Drifting Front for more than [-] years.

Stepping onto an unfamiliar land, the solid feeling beneath his feet gave Hood a sense of security.

The ship girls worked in teams of two and began to clean up the mirage buildings on Malan Island, looking for the resources stored on the island.

Through the faint light, the buildings on the entire island are faintly visible.

Hood observed carefully and found that these buildings were all made by humans. They still retained the style of some early buildings of the Blue Federation. Hood had only seen these human buildings from other worlds in the illustrated magazines that were sent regularly.

The building has not been protected, and time has left obvious traces on it. Some of the wooden products are rotten and covered with black mold.

Open one of them.no enemies.

Hood withdrew the miniaturized main gun and observed the situation in the room through the weak light in his hand.

It was very messy inside, but there were obvious traces of activity, probably left by the mirages they had sunk not long ago.

I rummaged through it, but there was no secret room.

It seems that there are indeed no resources in this room.

Really, can't we hide some resources like those in the deep sea?

Hood complained softly.

In fact, the ship girls in the port area have the habit of hiding private money. They will keep the balance from their daily expeditions in their own small treasury, and the admiral in the port area knows this.When one of the ship girls retires for some reason or is forced to retire by the admiral, she will naturally no longer need resources as an ordinary person, so these resources will return to the admiral's hands. In exchange, the admiral will pay according to a fixed Pay the ship girl some currency at the price.

This is a tradition shared by all port areas, and the port area of ​​Huangjiang is no exception.

The enemies of the ship girl also have similar habits, so the happiest thing for the ship girl every time is to rush into the deep sea port and then look for the resources they have hidden.

There are a lot of resources in some places, so the ship girls will use them as resource points, and they will often scavenge to replenish the resource library in the port area. After all, their own admiral is a hamster-shaped admiral who is reluctant to use the resources in his hands. , far exceeding the subsidy line set by Ella, and without the subsidy from the Governor's Mansion, the ship girls naturally have no choice but to fend for themselves. In addition to expeditions, running to resource points to collect resources is the most common routine. .

Out of habit, the Royal Navy began to clean up the resources left by the mirage on Malan Island.

Soon, Nelson discovered Mirage's hoard of oil in an abandoned well.

"We should be so lucky." Hood sighed while supplying supplies. "This world doesn't need to resupply ammunition, otherwise we still won't be able to restore our combat capabilities."

All the ship girls thought so.

Because it was not replenished in the refurbishment equipment, about [-]% of the oil was lost during the replenishment process, but there was nothing that could be done about it. In order to quickly restore combat effectiveness, these consumptions were a last resort.

The girls of the Royal Navy were supplying supplies while communicating with the approaching Tirpitz fleet, and the two sides exchanged a wave of intelligence.

Hood told Tirpitz and the others about their current situation on Malan Island.

The prestigious answer came after a while.

Tirpitz took the three of them, a fleet of four capital ships in total, and now approached the sea area where the battle originally took place.

And the Prince of Wales's detector captured a strange signal not far away, which was suspected to be the Mirage Troops communicating with the outside world.

With no lights on either side, Tirpitz and the others were the first to discover the Mirage troops near Malan Island.

Hood knew that another collision would happen soon, so he quickly informed the ship girls beside him:
"Replenish supplies quickly and prepare for battle!"
