At midnight, Hahara Mio had just finished her meeting with the other two commanders.
The other two commanders brought fleets of similar size.
After a brief discussion, the three fleets decided to spread out and enter the interception sea area from different directions. This way, the search range could be expanded to the entire sea area, and the sirens would be unable to fly.
About half an hour after the three fleets separated, Hahara Mio's main fleet was rushing to intercept the sea area at full speed. Hahara Mio, who was on the Amagi battle cruiser, received two messages from the Annapolis fleet. Shortly spaced communications.
The first time, Annapolis said they might have discovered a stray siren and were preparing to attack it first.
The second time, the news changed to "the target siren has been found", and she was asked to lead the main force to rush there quickly.
Hahara Mio was a little curious about what happened in front.
Could it be that in the process of preparing to attack the free sirens, they suddenly ran into the main fleet of the sirens?
Sure enough, it's still a little hard to understand.
She looked at the coordinate point marked by Miss Amagi on the map, which was southeast of the center of the interception sea area.
The successful discovery of the target was also the result of the Annapolis fleet searching for several hours in advance.
The other two commanders still need to let the fleet disperse to search, while their own fleet can directly attack the main force of the Sirens.
At this time, their fleet is less than a hundred nautical miles away from the Annapolis. If the fleet reaches full speed and the Sirens are also maneuvering north, and the relative speeds are superimposed, it will only take them two hours. Engage the enemy.
On the contrary, since the other two commanders did not have a clear target at the beginning, they needed to assemble their own fleets that were searching and come from other directions to join the battle, which would also take a longer period of time.
Due to the improvement in accuracy and lethality, the naval battle between the ship girls and the sirens will not last too long, so within a period of time, it is enough for Hahara Mio and Wang Yu to cause enough damage to the main siren force and get this time Big rewards for special missions.
So Hahara Mio issued an order to his fleet.
All the warships adjusted their course and collectively increased their speed at this moment.
At this time, Annapolis was carefully adjusting its course under the eyes of the Siren Fleet.
Previously, the battleship was sailing in the direction of the Siren. Now it is necessary to adjust the angle according to the Annapolis' concealment range to prevent it from approaching again and being discovered by the Siren's destroyer.
To put it simply and intuitively, the concealment range of a battleship can be imagined as a circle with the battleship as the center. As long as there are no enemies in the circle, the battleship can be guaranteed not to be discovered, but once an enemy enters the circle, the battleship will be exposed.
Thanks to the fact that the surveillance radar was still running, in the remaining half hour, he could obtain comprehensive information on the Siren fleet's movements, so he could maneuver more freely.
Soon, Annapolis completed a large turn of more than 100 degrees, and the battleship began to sail parallel to the Siren, heading north.
The destroyer Arashi also began to adjust its position.
She found that she had followed the wrong target, so she had to switch to the main Siren force to continue reconnaissance.
For example, your destroyer starts the attack, but after a long time, you find that there is no one on the other side, and most of the people flow to the other side. Therefore, in order to maintain your own field of vision, the destroyer should change sides as soon as possible to light up the enemy. Large army.
Anna had told the little girl before that the current surveillance radar had a limited effect, so after the radar time was over, she had to rely on her to maintain the siren's vision.
Therefore, the destroyer's petite hull began to turn on the sea.
Wang Yu observed Lan Hao's movements and had to say that this girl was indeed very skilled and had good control over her concealment.
At present, if she turns like this, she will pass the Siren at a very extreme distance.
Just enough to keep the Siren just outside her hiding range when they are closest to her.
Although this is extreme, it can minimize the distance required to complete the turn.
She can move from this wave of sirens to the main siren force in the shortest possible time.
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked to see that the destroyer had completed half of its rotation. The remaining half should not be a problem.
So he turned back, preparing to talk to Anna about the hidden magic settings of the ship girl.
But before he could say a few words, something unexpected happened to Siren.
The wave in front of the two waves of siren fleets, the roving fleet, changed direction almost at the same time.
They made an incision from their original direction of sailing due north.
Inward cutting means that the bow of the boat turns in the direction of the opponent, and outward cutting means that the bow of the boat turns in the direction away from the opponent.
Theoretically, it is normal for the Siren to adjust its direction, and there will be no surprises in itself.
But the key is that the time when Siren turns is too special.
So the moment he saw the Siren adjusting its direction, Wang Yu instantly realized that something was wrong!
Because the Arashi destroyer is in the process of making a big turn very close to the Siren!
If the Siren itself maintains its original speed and heading, even with slight adjustments, Lan can ensure that the Siren remains outside her concealment range. But now that the Siren suddenly cuts in and approaches her, the situation is different. .
Limited by the inertia of the battleship, it is difficult for Lan, who is already in the process of turning, to get away from the Siren faster. It is self-evident what will happen.
Whenever Siren changes direction a few minutes earlier or a few minutes later, Lan will have ample opportunity to adjust his position.
But the Siren unexpectedly changed direction at an extremely coincidental time, and the result was undoubtedly the beginning of the battle.
One of Siren's destroyers happened to rush straight into Lan's hiding circle after changing direction.
The little girl's heart suddenly tightened. She knew that she had been discovered by the Siren at this moment!
Being discovered by a siren is equivalent to being discovered by all the sirens in this sea area.
As a result, she no longer cared about maintaining her original maneuvering mode and turned the rudder to one side in time.
She needed to complete this turn immediately, pointing the stern of the ship towards the sirens, giving them the smallest angle of attack.
At the same time, she immediately turned on the engine overload!
In a short period of time, the energy of the mental core is used to overload the power system. This method can increase the speed of the original ship to a higher level. However, this method does damage the warship, and even the ship girl does not dare to drive it for a long time. With.
But it is enough to burst out with unparalleled speed in a short period of time.
At the same time, this Siren's free fleet also entered an attacking posture.
Now, the Annapolis's noisy siren siren sounded loudly.
Anna also explained this matter to Wang Yu at the same time - Wang Yu even had some unreasonable thoughts in an instant. Compared with Anna's gentle reminder, the early warning alarm was really too noisy. If he had the chance, he must Remove it.
In the distance, the Siren warship, itself hidden in the night, immediately emitted streaks of fire representing the firing of its main guns.
It has to be said that the Siren's attack efficiency is really high, and it can focus fire the moment it finds the target.
Seeing this, Lan had to start constantly adjusting his course to avoid the incoming shells.
The destroyer's body is brittle, and every cannonball fired will cause real damage. The destroyer's ship's capabilities are not as strong as those of the battleship's big sisters, so many times it does not dare to resist the siren's fire.
After a brief moment of bomb-dropping time, large clouds of water suddenly exploded on the sea surface on the side of the destroyer.
Normally, a near miss is very dangerous for a warship, and sometimes it is even more dangerous than a direct hit.
But in this world, the ship girl has the ability to protect the hull. The shock wave in the water when the shell is near miss will be resolved by some incomprehensible "force field", so as long as the shell does not directly hit the hull, there will be no damage. harm.
The survivability of this world's destroyers is ensured precisely because of this characteristic.
In short, Siren's first round of focused fire was dodged brilliantly by Lan.
But dodging one round of cannons does not mean that everything is safe. Even if only the Siren floating fleet is attacking now, it is enough to form a continuous firepower. Under this kind of uninterrupted firepower coverage, no matter how hard Lan twists, It is also inevitable to be attacked in the end.
Therefore, she can only delay for time now.
