Finally, the last Siren destroyer was sunk by gunfire.
The surging sound of cannons on the sea finally stopped, and the sound of waves crashing like a sweet music once again took over the mainstream.
On the Annapolis, the Siren early warning system that had been inactive before finally calmed down, which meant that the Siren crisis had been resolved.
We're safe...for now.
The human fleet, which had maintained a high speed during the battle, also slowed down, and the black smoke coming out of the chimney seemed to have faded a lot. Wang Yu put up a pergola and looked at it for a while, but still felt that the smoke coming from his Miss Anna's chimney was The milky white condensation mist that emerges is more beautiful than the black smoke.
As Wang Yu watched, the four warships reorganized their "formation" and formed a sailing formation with the heavy cruiser in front and the light cruiser in the back. The two warships chased each other on both sides. Then the four warships continued to slow down and seemed to be gradually slowing down. Stop the boat.
Are you cleaning the battlefield?
Or do you specifically stop and wait for yourself?
Wang Yu didn't know, but he kept the battleship at a slow speed, probably only ten knots, and moved closer to where the four battleships were parked.
The distance gradually shortened, and the figures of the four battleships became larger. At least this time, Wang Yu could see the hull numbers and names of the battleships clearly.
The Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser painted in three straight lines of gray, white and black has two white letters "PE" painted on the stern, which represents its identity as the second ship Eugen of this class. Prinz Eugen.
The full name of the light cruiser is also written on the stern of the ship, Helena. It seems to be the No. 10 ship of the Brooklyn class - the No. 2 ship of the St. Louis modification, the Helena.
In the previous world, the Brooklyn-class Helena sank during the Pacific War before the Golden Age of Mankind.
Later, the Golden Age ended and the Siren Crisis era began. When humans began to rebuild those historical gunboats in order to fight against the Sirens, this ship name was reactivated and given to the fifteenth battleship of the latest Worcester-class light cruiser. .
Speaking of which, Wang Yu has some connections with the Helena in the previous world.
Wang Yu, who was still in the military academy at the time, originally expected to serve as the first commander of the battleship after graduation, but as a result, the super battleship design that integrated various technologies came out at that time, and the relevant person in charge of the Navy believed that the high-speed cruiser fleet did not need More 152mm small-caliber guns, so the half-built battleship was dismantled and the Annapolis construction plan was started.
After recalling the past for a while, Wang Yu continued to look at the two destroyers.
There are two Kagero-class ships, one named Kagero, the Kagero-class lead ship.
The other ship surprised Wang Yu. The four hiragana characters "ゆきかぜ" were written in large letters on the side of the destroyer, which translated to Yukikaze, which is the famous Yukikaze destroyer.
And this Yukikaze is also the only one in the current four-ship fleet that is intact, after a fierce exchange of fire with the Siren! Everyone was more or less damaged, but this destroyer was still as clean as new!
Seeing the appearance of this battleship, Wang Yu suddenly smiled with relief.
This answered a question that had always existed in his mind.
This is not surprising, this is not surprising.
suspect? (In this world where sirens are not very powerful, how could such a small human fleet encounter a siren fleet that overwhelms them in strength by such a coincidence?)
Enlightenment! (There is Yukikaze in their fleet!)
Everything is answered.
In the last time and space, the destroyers designed and built by the coalition government Yingzhou directly abandoned the ship name Xuefeng, and the destroyers designed and built by Huazhou also had a tacit agreement not to use the ship name Danyang...
Now I have to auspiciously hope that my home will be safe.
The Annapolis approached to a distance of about three kilometers from the location of the four battleships, and then stopped approaching and turned the ship sideways. At the same time, the main gun was still fixed at its original position, indicating that it There is no hostility.
Wang Yu thought about how to get in touch with the other party - the failed radio communication attempts in the previous few days made him extremely unconfident, and he was afraid of misunderstandings caused by using the more understandable lantern language.
Just like giving the V sign to people in Gaul in the previous world.
As a result, while he was thinking about it, the flash of light outside the porthole attracted his attention. After a closer look, it turned out that the searchlight near the bridge of the Prinz Eugen was flashing in long and short intervals - and Wang Yu recognized it at a glance. This is the language of lights that he is familiar with.
Interpreting the lantern language with the naked eye is a compulsory course for every naval cadet.
It is also one of the assessment criteria for becoming a battleship commander.
Wang Yu quickly understood the content in this area due to his good memory and thinking ability, and his project results were also among the best.
He estimated that he had missed the first word, so he waited patiently until he saw the light flashing in a series of words, which meant "the message is over, the light language has stopped", and then he slowly replied with a shortcut command that meant "repeat it again."
So the other party played a long series of signals again.
This time Wang Yu understood clearly. The other party thanked the people he had provided for help before, and their fleet commander hoped to board his ship.
It seems that because of the previous aid, the other party still has good intentions towards him, otherwise he would not abandon his home field advantage and choose to meet on this battleship.
Wang Yu naturally had no reason to refuse, so he replied in the language of lanterns in agreement.
Then the other party expressed receipt and ended the light language call.
Wang Yu was ready. He found a mirror to check his appearance, then straightened his clothes, put on a quite formal coat, tied a belt, and put on his I rarely wear the white commander's cap, and then prepare for the meeting.
But before coming to the deck, he thought about it and chose to stuff a pistol into the holster on the side of his belt, just to be prepared.
He saw a speedboat lowered from the side of the Prinz Eugen, and then drew a straight trajectory on the sea towards the Annapolis.
Wang Yu nodded. He could see only two figures on the speedboat. It seemed that the other party didn't want the crowd to put pressure on his side.
He just didn't know what the other party would think after seeing that there were no crew members on his ship. Wang Yu had already made up his mind that once the other party asked about his specific identity, he would pretend that he didn't know anything.
At this time, Wang Yu was a little annoyed. He had forgotten to observe whether there were sailors on the decks of the four battleships. It was a mistake. However, he didn't bring the telescope with him at the moment, so he had no choice but to give up.
The boarding channel of the Annapolis is at the stern of the ship, which is a ladder composed of metal poles. Wang Yu also plans to meet the other party in the large open space at the stern of the ship.
Soon, the speedboat approached.
Wang Yu also saw clearly the people on the speedboat, they were two slim figures.
The command of that fleet are two girls? !
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
Even Wang Yu did not expect such a development. His eyes followed the speedboat, but unfortunately, there was still a distance and he could not see the people on the speedboat clearly.
Wang Yu decided to wait patiently for the two of them to arrive on the deck.
The people on the speedboat also saw him standing on the side of the ship, so they circled half the ship and came to the stern.
Two beautiful figures tied the speedboat to the bottom ladder, and then they flexibly climbed up the ladder. It was obviously not easy to climb this even slightly negative-angle ladder, but the other party seemed to be familiar with the road. That skill is indeed extraordinary.
After a while, the two girls boarded the deck.
They came straight to Wang Yu who was waiting at the stern of the ship.
