Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 794 Milan Battlefield
"When will this boring battle come to an end?"

Hood looked at the mirage troops on the opposite side and complained.

The second- and third-rate mirage troops are no match for the main ship girls, and even the weaker mirages are no bigger than the destroyer fleet.However, the absolute advantage in numbers made it impossible for Hood and the others to get away no matter how leisurely they fought.Even if they were surrounded by swarms of mirages, it would be difficult to escape without the help of air support.

The San Francisco fleet encountered this kind of dilemma not long ago. Because it pursued the enemy too deeply, its retreat was blocked by mirages, and it directly fought an encirclement battle.Fortunately, San Francisco's combat experience is quite rich. In addition, the Helena light cruiser fleet that was covering the periphery reacted quickly and came to support in time.

During this battle, San Francisco's communication system was also damaged by Mirage's artillery fire, and all command of the normal battle was given to Helena.

Although there was no huge loss in the end, this incident still became a tool used by Atlanta to fight back against San Francisco. This made San Francisco very depressed. Looking at the triumphant Atlanta, they even thought that they would not announce it so quickly after learning about the accidental injury that night. A ceasefire would be nice.

This naughty kid should be beaten more often.

He said it was boring, but Hood's shelling was still fierce and ruthless.

"There seems to be a problem with Mirage's troop replenishment." The Prince of Wales walked to Hood's side and brought Helena's Mirage observation report today.In order to prevent Mirage from taking advantage of its military strength to catch them by surprise, Helena and a group of light patrols and expulsions not only assisted in the battle but also counted Mirage's activities.

Hood was surprised and asked: "How do you say that?"

If there is a problem with Mirage's troop replenishment, this is undoubtedly a good thing, which means that the battlefield in the Milan Sea will eventually come to an end.

"It seems that the mother body that produces these ordinary mirages is not a perpetual motion machine." The Prince of Wales wrote the data obtained from Helena in a notebook and handed it to Hood. At this time, the mirage's counterattack came. The sea surface was shaken by the explosion, and the sea water saw the notebook.

Hood took out a handkerchief and wiped the water on it. Fortunately, the ink did not spread.

From the above data, under the high-efficiency bombardment of the warship girls, Mirage's daily combat attrition has almost no downward trend. On the contrary, Mirage's troop replenishment has experienced a huge drop a few days ago, and then It is a period of gradually declining data.

Judging from the above data, there was indeed a problem with Mirage's troop replenishment, but Hood was not happy.Because the battlefield in the sea area of ​​​​Milan is actually a battlefield dominated by Mirage, they are on the disadvantaged side. Before Mirage turns to disadvantage due to the strength of its troops, they still have no way to deal with the Mirage troops that are fully pressing the situation. They can only conduct defensive battles every day to prevent The mirage here breaks through the defensive perimeter of the buffer zone.

This downward trend will not be enough to change the battlefield on Milan Island in a short period of time, and will even lead to even more crazy oppression by the mirage here.This is a very frustrating feeling. The two main fleets here are rushing to various battlefields every day, trying their best to deal a major blow to the mirage.

In terms of numbers, this extremely high combat attrition did make it impossible for the Mirage to rely on the production of the mother body to expand their advantage on the Milan battlefield.However, many days of high-intensity combat also caused the Hood Fleet and the Peanut Fleet to encounter some troubles.

They are not invincible. High-level dodge is ultimately dodge, not immunity. Bruises are inevitable, and there are even instances of being hit head-on.The relatively high dodge of the battle cruiser prevented the Hood, Reputation, Counterattack, and Constellation from being hit by the Mirage's main gun, and the battleship's relatively high armor prevented battleships such as Peanut from immediately losing their combat capabilities after being hit.The situation of Hood's fleet is relatively optimistic. The Prince of Wales, who suffered the most damage, is now at full combat strength, but he is also on the verge of being broken.As for Peanuts, they have been fighting Mirage for a longer time, so the injuries in the team are more serious. South Dakota has been repeatedly jumping on the mid-break line in the past few days due to the skill taunt, and every time it was mid-break, it was defeated by the ship. The damage control that came with it barely brought it back to the green blood state, and then it kept repeating.

Missouri simply gave up on itself. Standing next to South Dakota, even if she was broken, with the blessing of a high critical hit rate, she could still deal as much damage as before.And this broken goddess of war has also become a presence that the mirage fears on the battlefield in the Milan sea area. She is a guy that the mirage cannot understand.

"Okay, the powerful mirage in this sea area has been cleared." Hood reported, "Helena, you can bring the fleet over to clear the battlefield."

"Understood. We'll be there soon, Hood." Helena replied quickly.

"Let's go to the next place." Hood twisted his neck to relieve the muscle fatigue caused by the high-intensity shelling. "After this war is over, I must go back to Violet and take a good bath. No one will stop me. The kind that gets up.”

"Yes." Qian Wei rubbed his shoulders and said, "It would be great if there was a bathhouse on Milan Island."

Lion asked: "Can't the mobile deacon's house and bathhouse be built in seconds? Theoretically, one should be built on Milan Island, and it's not a waste. After all, it is the front line against the mirage, and it will be used in the future. Yes. Are you short of money?"

Shengfu replied seriously: "If it is for us, in the eyes of the commander, funds are definitely not a problem. However, as a ship's wife, as the commander's married ship, if this is the case, the commander must be put at risk. To go to the front line would be a huge dereliction of duty.”

"Yes." Hood agreed, "So just bear with it. It's time to be normal, lion. You can't grow if you always live in a greenhouse. Candidates for the flagship of the Royal Navy can't be so delicate. .”

The lion's eyes suddenly shone, and he replied with great momentum: "I understand! Miss Hood."

The Prince of Wales looked at the energetic lion, and said softly to Hood: "If Warspite and Elizabeth see it, they will definitely be angry again. What about 'the flagship of the Royal Navy is a card, it should be elegant and beautiful', and It’s coming all at once.”

"Humph, what's the use of being elegant? Their educational philosophy itself is a mistake, and I am the embodiment of this mistake." Hood said with resentment. The incident of being possessed by Bismarck was already a nightmare for Hood. .

Hood paused and continued: "And you see, if I hadn't stopped him, Vanguard would have been taught to be a royal cruiser by them sooner or later."

"Don't say that, Miss Warspite will be angry." Counterattack, standing behind the Prince of Wales, whispered.

"No, no," the Prince of Wales said with a smile, "As long as age is not mentioned, Warspite will always be that amiable... young lady."
