In the cold winter, the fleet sounded its high-pitched whistle and slowly left the fjord along the waterway.
Mio Hahara's main fleet was in front, with Annapolis and three destroyers behind.
The three little girls assigned to Big Sister Anna are all Yang Yan-level, namely Yang Yan, Tianjin Feng and Lan.
At first, Mio Hahara brought Yukikaze over, but Wang Yu said he couldn't bear it.
The three little girls are temporarily under the command of Anna - as Hahara Mio's ship girl, they naturally cannot listen to Wang Yu's words. Being able to listen to the command of Anna, who is also a ship girl, is the limit they can accept.
In the blink of an eye, the narrow fjord waterway opened up, and the mountains on both sides turned into a vast ocean ahead.
The propellers of the fleet began to officially stir the ocean water.
"The rendezvous point is 750 nautical miles away from the port area. We maintain a high speed of 25 knots and it is expected to take about thirty hours." Shortly after leaving the fjord, Hahara Mio's voice rang in the communication: "According to According to the plan, you just need to stay about thirty nautical miles behind my fleet."
"Thirty hours. Is there any new news about the main force of the target sirens?"
"Well... the Navy Headquarters recently sent news that one of their small fleets responsible for reconnaissance had contact with the main Siren force, and updated a wave of precise positions. The target will arrive at the scheduled location in about the same time. Intercept the sea area.”
Mio Hahara shared information with Wang Yu, and then she added.
"However, the Siren fleet is huge. The small fleet was spotted by the Siren destroyer not long after tracking, and had to give up the tracking. Then the Siren expanded the patrol range, so it is currently impossible to determine the specific location of the Siren - but after losing Before reaching the target, the Navy General Administration can confirm that the Siren fleet is still maintaining its original course and they have a clear target."
Indeed, if Siren had not had a clear goal, this operation would not have been regarded as a special mission.
"Anyway, keep going as planned."
Wang Yu replied and then ended the communication.
Wang Yu inspected the various data displayed on the battleship's bridge as usual - although this job has been completely taken over by Anna, Wang Yu said that some habits are difficult to change in a short period of time...
Then he looked out the window.
On either side of the Annapolis and about a mile and a half ahead were three destroyers.
The three little girls have good training and are good at maneuvering the battleship, so the sailing with Annapolis was very smooth and without any mistakes.
In Wang Yu's view, although the three destroyers were borrowed, they also gave the four ships a "fleet" feeling.
A flotilla is also a fleet. The large and small fleets gradually distanced themselves.
Wang Yu ended his inspection of the surrounding area.
He sat back in his seat and turned his attention to Anna, who was not far away.
The girl sat quietly in her exclusive seat, looking towards the sea in the distance.
There was a calm smile on her face that looked extremely comfortable. She had this expression most of the time, but Wang Yu couldn't help but secretly guess whether she was also secretly happy because she was able to do her job after a period of silence. Excited?
Wang Yu imagined that a girl like Anna would show obvious joy, and couldn't help but smile.
After a moment, he looked away. It didn't seem good to keep staring at the girl.
However, his true nature was revealed after a few moments.
Soon after turning his eyes away from Anna, he quietly turned his eyes back.
So beautiful, look at it again.
Although he has been with Anna for a while, Wang Yu still admires her beauty in his heart every time he looks at her. At the same time, when he quietly looks at Anna, he even There is also an inexplicable happiness.
As if aware of Wang Yu's gaze, Anna turned around and tilted her head.
Wang Yu's eyes averted like an electric shock, and then he looked at the documents on the desktop as if nothing happened.
Seeing that her commander didn't speak, Anna looked away in confusion.
Wang Yu waited for a moment, and then secretly turned his admiring eyes to Anna again. For a moment, he felt that he could do nothing, think about nothing, and just look at her until the end of time.
After a moment, he forced himself to retract his gaze and focus on the notebook in front of his desk.
Wang Yu, Wang Yu, where have you been that calm and wise person?
He complained to himself inwardly.
What is going on like "a high school student who has never been in a relationship and peeks at the girl he likes in class" unfolds...
Wait, doesn’t this mean that he is in love with Anna?
No, the current relationship between himself and Anna should be a comradeship of sharing weal and woe, mixed with a little bit of family affection of dependence on each other.
As for now, why do I think about looking at her so often and feel satisfied because she is by my side...
This is just a simple appreciation of beauty... maybe.
He had never felt such a feeling before, and naturally he had no such experience.
So at this time, he was a little confused about what he was thinking.
…………
If the fleet simply sails on the sea, it will undoubtedly be boring, but fortunately there is a Siren fleet in the middle to relieve the boredom.
This is different from the main force of sirens that has a clear goal heading north. These sirens are smaller in scale and do not have a strict direction. According to observations (records of the two worlds), this type of sirens generally Wandering in several sea areas, as long as a human fleet appears within their detection range, they will be attacked.
Therefore, the fleet heading south naturally encountered the harassment of these "free" sirens.
Since the fleet has a main target, although the destruction of these stray sirens can be regarded as part of the secondary results of this mission, after all, we cannot sacrifice the good and the bad, and waste the time on the road in order to meet these sirens.
Therefore, when these free sirens come to attack, Hahara Mio will choose to fight quickly.
The main course will remain unchanged and the speed will be increased to provide fire support, while the light cruisers and destroyers will break away from the fleet and attack near the sirens with artillery and mines. Some ordinary siren fleets cannot withstand these two obstacles.
After all, this place is not far from the coastline. The Free Siren itself is still mainly for cruising and lacks a large-caliber main force.
What's more terrifying are those wandering sirens in the ocean. There are battleships among them, and one of them might really overturn.
In addition to Hahara Mio, there were also sirens who launched an attack on Wang Yu's Annapolis.
There are a total of two Siren heavy cruisers and two Siren light cruisers...
As a result, Wang Yu felt that Anna should be quite happy playing.
In short, in the process of rushing, Hahara Mio's port fleet took advantage of the situation to receive certain results. In the future, they can add to their achievements after the mission is completed. It is just a pity that these small siren fleets did not break out the spoils.
A whole day passed and the fleet was about to arrive at the rendezvous point with other commanders.
According to the plan, Hahara Mio led her main fleet to meet with the other two commanders to discuss the battle, while Wang Yu led Annapolis and three destroyers to bypass from the side and go straight into the interception target plug. Ren's sea area.
If there are no problems, the target siren should be close to here,
It was already sunset and night was about to fall.
Although Wang Yu asked the fleet to speed up, it was probably already past midnight when the search for the Siren fleet actually started.
Well, a night fight?
In the previous world, Wang Yu didn't like night battles because the Siren battleships were black and could easily disappear into the night.
With Anna as a ship girl in this world, night battles should no longer be a problem.
Wang Yu thought for a while, projected the map of the interception sea area, and planned to see the next plan first.
