Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 705 Survey Work
While Huang Jiang silently felt sorry for Milton and was enjoying himself, the survey work on the east side of the Violet Sea was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

In order to avoid large-scale conflicts, the aircraft carriers temporarily restrained their actions and only dispatched necessary reconnaissance planes to provide aerial vision for submarines entering enemy-occupied areas.

Nowadays, in the sea area where the two sides meet, the activities of reconnaissance aircraft are extremely frequent. From time to time, Mirage will send carrier-based aircraft to the violet sea that now belongs to Carland. However, they often cannot fly far and enter Carland. Soon after entering the airspace, it was either shot down by an intercepted fighter jet or shot down by the anti-aircraft guns of the ship girls (obviously, the mirage had no intention of controlling the altitude at all).

Judging from the performance of the mirage, they didn't care whether the plane could go back at all.This makes the aircraft carriers envious. This kind of flying aluminum is a luxury even in the port area. Generally speaking, the carrier-based aircraft sent out by the aircraft carriers must be recycled as much as possible.

There are times when recycling is not considered. That is when Huangjiang very generously used B-25 to bomb the deep-sea airport. At that time, recycling was not considered at all. It was just a one-wave thing. It was certain that thousands of aluminum could be obtained at one time. As for A few thousand, that depends on the conscience of the aircraft carriers.

"Rose Island, confirm." U47 murmured.

"Understood," Saratoga quickly replied through the sea fog.

"Is there going to be a tea island after that?" U47 continued to ask.

"That's how it is here." Saratoga said, "I don't know what the situation is at the company. They should also check the aluminum island. Is there no problem with the submarine over there?"

"U81, U96 and U156." U47 responded, "No problem, they can handle it enough."

"Huh? Why did I hear your voice alone, where is U505?" Saratoga asked curiously.

"She was just picked up by a passing shark." U47 said calmly.

"Ugh???"

"Don't worry, things that always happen will come back soon." U47 didn't seem to be joking at all, "Her luck has never been very good."

"This is too bad." Saratoga complained, "The story of the ship girl being taken away by a shark is a bit exaggerated."

"U505 has this psychological shadow, so it's a little bit special." U47 said.

"What kind of psychological shadow..."

"The shadow left after being caught by the light mother."

"Okay." Saratoga said, what else could she say, her feelings were her fault.

"Let me know when she returns to the team." Saratoga said, "Brother-in-law has entrusted your safety to me. I must know the whereabouts of each of you."

"Got it." U47 blew bubbles.

"Also, there is a mirage in the northeast, which has anti-submarine capabilities. Be careful to avoid it." Saratoga informed the message, "I need to avoid it here. If I get entangled by the mirage's aircraft, it will be troublesome."

"Okay, we'll contact you after we get rid of it." U47 looked back and saw that U505 was swimming towards him in a very embarrassed manner.

"Also, are you interested in eating shark fins?" U47 asked Saratoga, "I think we will bring back a lot of shark fins when we return from this mission."

"..."

U505 is really unlucky...Jia Jia finally saw this today.I originally thought that submarines as unlucky as the surgeonfish were unique in the fish world, but now it seems that my vision is too narrow.

Speaking of Tangyu... a few days ago, it seemed that I was stabbed in the back by my own torpedo, so I went to Jialan Island for repairs, and I don't know how it is now.The torpedo drew a circle in the sea and hit itself. Saratoga had only seen this kind of thing in safety manuals before, and she knew that such an embarrassing thing had happened to surgeonfish before, but it happened again, and it was this person. , this is too unfortunate, and even makes Jiajia think, whether the tang fish was touched by Xuefeng before it came.

Snakeberry Island.

Akagi led Enterprise and York City to patrol the sea, opposite the Mirage's occupied area.Aircraft carriers move with extreme caution.Not far away, Hood was leading the Prince of Wales, Reputation and others in daily artillery training, and was also escorting the aircraft carriers.Compared to the mirage troops at Dafeng and Saratoga, which were basically disabled by the Peanut Fleet, the mirages on the side of Snakeberry Island are obviously more dangerous.The aircraft carriers did not dare to be careless.

Under the sea, U81 is quietly approaching the island discovered by the company with U96 and U156.

The three submarines were widely separated and heading in the same direction.

U156 is still worried about U505 and talking to U96.

"Don't be like a mother whose child travels far away." U96 comforted, "U505 is not a child. Besides, U47 is by your side. She will take good care of her."

"I heard that there are sharks in that sea area." U156 was still worried. This was considered a deep sea area, so U156 was not worried that U505 would get entangled in kelp.

"Okay, stop chatting." U81 stopped, because the island was not far away, "split up and confirm the shape and characteristics of the island and the situation of the defenders."

The submarines immediately separated and started the survey work in an orderly manner.

This is what subs have been doing the most over the past few years.Of course, they also participate in mirage hunting activities, but this is also an entertainment activity in their spare time from survey work.After the strength of the ship girl troops led by Jialan increased, the pressure on the submarines was much less. Except for occasional support operations, most of the time was spent exploring the ruins on the Violet Seabed while looking for Mirage's supply line.

Facing the enemy head-on has never been the strong point of submarines. Most of the widely publicized achievements of submarines are the sinking of certain battleships. However, in fact, most of their achievements in the war record come from cargo ships. It is the most important part of their sinking numbers.

When it comes to the blue world, this target is of course Mirage's supply line.

Different from the obvious characteristics of deep-sea transport ships and supply ships, supply mirages never have a specific shape. Sometimes they are ordinary "herrings" and the like, and sometimes they are very powerful specialized mirages.Of course, in the eyes of submarines, there is no difference. Discovery, calculation, launching torpedoes, going up to confirm the results of the battle, and then sinking and retreating. This series of actions repeats itself, which is the way submarines fight.

Sneaking into enemy-occupied areas is a common occurrence for submarines, and it is even the main responsibility of submarines.Therefore, after U81 and others entered the sea of ​​​​mirage, they did not panic at all. They walked leisurely towards their destination as if they were at home.

Survey work soon began.

The first thing the submarines have to determine is the identity of the island.Many islands on Edelweiss Island have names, but due to the loss of the original map, they need to compare the features in the data with the features in front of them to determine the identity of the islands.

This is not superficial, but a necessary procedure related to the legitimacy of Jia Lanling.

To inherit the Edelweiss collar, it is natural to inherit the former island name.

Soon, the identity of the island was confirmed.

Edelweiss Collar Aluminum Island-Kumquat Island.
