Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 508 "Mudskipper"

When Tirpitz controls the carrier-based aircraft, it is more flashy than the aircraft carrier. This is her habit in the game. Many actions are closer to stunts than actual combat.

Of course, it just looks cool.

"Ah!" Tirpitz suddenly shouted.

Bismarck asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Beizhai scratched his head with an apologetic look and said, "We just had a wave and pulled the plane too low."

"You don't want to use those two small machine guns to shoot..." As an anti-aircraft cruiser, Atlanta immediately saw Tirpitz's intention. Because of this, she couldn't help but complain, and was For an attack like this to be carried out by an aircraft, it would be embarrassing to have your legs broken by a swordfish...

Fortunately, Atlanta was not amethyst or fantasy, and did not say these words, otherwise at least three battleships would have asked her to identify the main guns.

"You are not a professional aircraft carrier, so don't try to tease other people's anti-aircraft guns!" Bismarck sighed, and said to his sister earnestly. After all, battleships still have to use the precise shooting of the main guns as the main means of attack. It only provides them with the most accurate location information of the enemy.

In addition, the water reconnaissance aircraft has an additional function, which is to calibrate fire for ultra-long-distance artillery strikes. However, the effect of this function in actual combat is not as great as imagined. It is a rare few times. Excellent shooting was achieved in exercises. Over time, battleships stopped using carrier-based seaplanes for artillery calibration.

"I didn't make fun of the anti-aircraft guns." Tirpitz emphasized with a pouted mouth, "I was shot down by the shells from behind!"

The shells in the back...

At that time, Tirpitz's reconnaissance plane was scouting the reinforcements behind the phantom troop in front of him, and the shelling from behind could only be launched from the phantom troop in front of him.

No way…….
For shelling at that distance, the small-aperture main and secondary guns didn't have such a long range. The only possibility was the mirage captain who could only hit the target with a sure-hit attack.

The caliber of her main gun was close to that of the Bismarck.

"Isn't this a waste of shells?" Eugen whispered, completely unable to understand Mirage's thoughts.

All the ship girls had a doubtful thought, and during this brief pause, the other party showed no intention of attacking.

The weak-looking "sea cucumber" was understandable, but the mirage captain in front of him, who had the shape of a mudskipper, clearly still had the power to attack, but it was very problematic that he did not attack them.

The "Mudskipper" just stood there motionless, making the ship girls suspicious.

Bismarck was still the first to fire, and the moment Bismarck fired, the "Mudskipper" immediately raised its main gun and fired at the array of ship girls.

With a violent explosion, the turret that Bismarck had just launched tentatively was directly destroyed by the "Mudskipper" shelling.

It was still a sure-hit attack. Bismarck once tried to evade the opponent's artillery fire by moving around, but the shells still fell straight down, penetrating Bismarck's shield and destroying the turret from which she fired the shells.

Eugen took a step forward the moment the shell fell, but was stopped by Bismarck's eyes.Bismarck was considered quite an experienced battleship, and she already had a vague judgment on the approximate landing point of the enemy's shell. This shell was aimed at her turret.

After hitting Bismarck, the mudskipper fell silent again.Bismarck's shelling hit her, but the "Mudskipper" did not suffer any damage. "'Turtle'!" Bismarck's voice suddenly dropped.

"Oh, just now I really thought I saw a mirage similar to 'Sea Turtle'." Tirpitz suddenly remembered.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bismarck said with a headache, although even if she knew, she would still carry out her tentative attack.

In terms of mirage illustrations, the Gloria Territory maintains a tradition similar to that of the entire Federation, that is, every time a different mirage is encountered, the corresponding illustrations will be drawn by the ship girl who was present at the time, and the ability to guess is written down.As the only Captain Mirage who withdrew from the last invasion of Garland Territory, Bismarck remembered this naive-looking Captain Mirage very clearly.Huang Jiang and the Royal Navy also have fresh memories of this, because the importance shown by the leader of the Edelweiss Mirage in protecting the evacuation of the "turtles" has to be remembered.

The "Mudskipper" seemed to be aware of the arrival of the reinforcements. She seemed not to be worried about the attacks from the ship girls at all. She turned around and said something to the mirage captain standing beside her.

Then, the "sea cucumber" turned into an unknown sticky object in front of everyone.

This reminded Bismarck of the scene when the "Turtle" was taken away.

She and Prince Eugen turned around at the same time and looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Everyone was paying attention to the "mudskipper" which had the strength of a battleship, but they just ignored the "sea cucumber" next to it that looked weaker than the ordinary "tuna".

"No wonder Mirage sent so many troops to protect her." Bismarck suddenly realized.

"Hood and the others haven't arrived yet?" Tirpitz asked quickly.

The entire Wutou Island fleet consisted of four battleships, one heavy cruiser and one light cruiser, plus the visiting New Orleans sisters. Facing the crippled mirage troop in front of them, a little effort would be enough. Annihilation is easy, unless the "mudskipper" has some means of saving their lives, but such a fleet can easily win even against the purple cabbage of the holy shield.

The reason why they were reluctant to take action was of course waiting for the arrival of the Royal Navy.

Naturally, this is not a generous achievement so that the Royal Navy will not have to travel all the way in vain.

When the Wutou Island Fleet reunited with Quincy and Eugen, their rescue mission had been completed. Now their mission is to drag the mirage in front of them in this sea area and drag the Edelweiss Island mirage behind them. The main force was lured out, and then together with the Royal Navy who came to encircle and suppress them, they annihilated all the main force on Edelweiss Island.

Only in this way can the arm of the Edelweiss Island Mirage reaching out to the Gloria Territory be cut off in a very short period of time, thus allowing the waters south of Wutou Island to maintain relative peace until the eastern fleet of the Gloria Territory completely destroys the Blue Territory. Hama Island and Leia Island were included in the territory of Gloria Territory, thus using it as a springboard to occupy the entire Violet Sea.

Bismarck's tentative attack was just to prevent the other party from becoming suspicious, and during the stalemate, all the ship girls did not stop attacking the "mudskipper".The "Cod" that were deliberately left behind were sunk one after another.

The strange thing is that during this period of time, the "Mudskipper" did not launch a precise counterattack against the attacking ship girl like it did just now.

Her attack frequency is very low. Before, a whole mirage army attacked together. Bismarck and others had not noticed it, but now it is becoming more and more obvious.

"I'm here, north of the mirage." Hood sent a message.

"Huh? Why is there a 'turtle'?"
