Chapter 136 The Destroyer's Duel
"Chika, Yui, Kanako, and Chennai, I entrust you with this investigation as well."

Although Betty's style of play is very reckless, it does not mean that she does not pay attention to details.

It is still necessary to do reconnaissance or something. Although it will disperse some combat power, intelligence is obviously more important at this time.

The fleet below is still driving fast. According to this speed, it will soon enter the complex archipelago area.

"This is Chennai. I found the enemy fleet in the I8 area. There are fifteen targets in total... Well, there seem to be seven landing craft, six destroyers, and... two light cruisers?"

"Huh? Are you sure it's a light cruiser?" Betty said in surprise.

"I'm sure! Judging from the turret layout, it should be the Dido-class light cruiser of Jasmine Women's Academy."

After the initial surprise, Betty soon became ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, Jasmine, a school with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also thought the same as Oarai, that is, to pull the cruiser that seemed to be used for air defense to fight artillery battles.

If Daxi had been more straightforward and had only sent four Yanyang-class destroyers over, the mother who was about to be beaten would probably not recognize it.

Although the 110mm rapid-fire gun can't hit the heavy cruiser, it is still no problem to fight the destroyer. The 110mm barrage is enough to turn the destroyer into a hornet's nest.

But now that both sides are in trouble, and Oarai has also sent a Baltimore, the situation is instantly different.

Now Baltimore is Papa, and none of the Jasmine's ships can hit him, but Baltimore can easily send the Jasmine's ships to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, Betty felt a little sorry.

Two Dido-class ships came to the archipelago, which also meant that the opposite aircraft carrier was also defenseless.If the battle plan remains unchanged, Betty is [-]% sure that it will be sent to the bottom of the sea.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses, but fortunately, the current situation is greatly improved.

"We have been spotted, and the enemy's fighter jets are coming."

"Chennai, retreat temporarily, but remember not to run in the direction of our fleet!"

"I still have this common sense!"

After solving the incident on the reconnaissance plane, it's time to issue orders to the main force.

"Since two Dido-class anti-aircraft light cruisers have moved to the opposite side, it is not easy for us to run and bomb them."

It is not a question of whether it can be bombed or not, but a question of whether it is worth it. It is obviously not a good deal to attack six destroyers with two Dido-class cruisers in air defense.

"It's obvious that we don't need to get involved in the sea battle. We just need to hide in the air defense circle of the USS Baltimore and protect Baltimore and the landing craft."

The air defense firepower of the USS Baltimore is quite strong. As long as the opposing fighter plane enters the air defense circle of Baltimore, there is a high probability of losses.

Although the fighters of the Oarai Aviation Department may be accidentally injured by friendly artillery fire, the accidental injury is definitely not comparable to the losses suffered by the opponent, so staying in the air defense circle to take advantage of it is also a good choice.

"Nine o'clock direction, enemy fighter planes appear."

Yin Yu's perception is very strong, and she spotted a fighter plane on the opposite side as soon as it got out of the clouds.

This is a fire-breathing FMK.24 fighter jet, obviously the plane sent by Jasmine Women's College for reconnaissance.

"Good job, Otoyu, go back and give you a medal." Betty paused, and then continued: "Youxiang, Shijiang, you go and drive it away!"

"It started to avoid it, and it seems to have noticed us."

Under the influence of Yin Yu's powerful insight, every movement of the enemy plane cannot escape her eyes.

"It's useless to find out." Betty snorted. "Can the other side cancel the login now?"

I am the dividing line——
"I found Oarai's fleet, wait, is that the Baltimore? Oarai actually brought this thing to the archipelago?"

"Understood, everything is going according to plan."

Different from the panic of the pilot of the reconnaissance plane, the captain of the Ark Royal, that is, the head of Jasmine's navigation department Shizuku Hirai, had a calm face.

This is a girl with short black hair, and a red ribbon is tied on the left side of her head.He is not very tall, but the color of his eyes is a bit of a concern, a rare purple.

"Minister, what should we do now, the Dido-class cruiser can't beat Baltimore."

Shizuku Hirai's expression didn't change even after hearing the members' shouts.

"Calm..., deal with it through the terrain, and then find a chance to kill it with a torpedo..."

Shizuku Hirai raised her head and looked in the direction of the islands.

"Baltimore...is very long, in the archipelago...not very easy to move, easy to hit the rocks."

"Oh, as expected of the minister, you can see Oarai's weakness so quickly."

Hirai Shizuku didn't say anything, but just looked into the distance like this, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
-
I am the dividing line——
The first to enter the archipelago was naturally the destroyers from both sides.

On Oarai's side were four Yanyang-class destroyers, while on Jasmine's side were six O-class destroyers.

炎阳级驱逐舰舰长118米，满载排水量2490吨，配备了3座127mm/50倍径C型双联装炮炮塔，92式4连装610mm重型鱼雷发射管2座，装备九三式氧气鱼雷，还有总共加起来约28座的25mm机炮，以及4座12.7mm防空机枪。

而O级驱逐舰舰长105米，满载排水量2270吨。拥有4座120mm单装炮炮塔，在船身的中央还有一门102mm/45的单装炮，鱼雷方面则是一具4联装533mm鱼雷发射器。防空火力则是4座20mm厄利空以及一门40mm/39倍口径2磅炮。

The Yanyang class has advantages in both artillery and torpedoes, but there are only four ships, and they have to face six O-class destroyers, and the outcome of the battle is still a lot to say.

Although the terrain in the archipelago is complicated, the destinations of both sides are the same, so they are quickly intertwined.

At the same time, the aviation forces of both sides are still on the sidelines, because both sides are afraid of the opposite air defense force and dare not act rashly.

Therefore, the battle in the center of the arena is a duel of 10 destroyers.

The battle distance between the two sides is not too far, only about three to four thousand meters, and the most intense firefight started as soon as the two sides met.
