Because they lost their target, the Siren fleet that was still roaring with artillery fire just now stopped.
The free Siren fleet was still sailing towards the direction where the Arashi destroyer last appeared, but the target main fleet returned to its original northward course after a short delay.
The Sirens were incomprehensible, so it was difficult to understand what was so important about their insistence on sailing north.
Wang Yu looked at the map. The siren kept heading north and would eventually reach the coastline of the main continent.
There are indeed several large and densely populated cities there. Perhaps the Sirens got a taste of the sweetness from the shelling on the other side last time, and this time they want to pick a relatively weakly defended city for another round to cause serious casualties to humans.
Of course, it is also possible that they are sick and simply want to head north to the coast to see the scenery.
To put it bluntly, no one, and no ship girl, would try to understand what the siren was thinking.
However, as long as the siren has a purpose and presents a threat, it doesn't matter what it does. Even if it intends to pay birthdays, it is necessary to intercept them outside the offshore range.
Wang Yu withdrew his gaze from the direction of the Siren main fleet.
Lan came over from the starboard side of Annapolis. Wang Yu could see with the limited light that the destroyer had indeed suffered some damage in the gunfire just now, but due to the ship's mother's ability to protect the key structure of the battleship , so the damage is actually not serious, and it can even be said that Lan still maintains sufficient combat capabilities.
It's very similar to the feeling of going up to the destroyer to roll, and the party that comes back only has half a life left.
At this time, the little girl was constantly asking Anna about what happened in the battle just now through the communication between the ship girls.
At this time, the smoke on the sea was approaching the limit of duration. The warships of the free Siren fleet broke through the blockade of smoke, but Annapolis, who had been firing behind the smoke not long ago, was far away at this time.
In any case, this unexpected battle is over.
In fact, this can't be called a battle at all. The Siren was just beaten unilaterally.
Except for Lan, these Siren warships were unable to find any targets from beginning to end. They were attacked by invisible warships, losing one destroyer, and one heavy cruiser was severely damaged, but they just didn't know where to go. Who to seek revenge from.
Wang Yu smiled and asked Anna to speed up a little, and once again put some distance between the two sides.
It can be said that this time I made full use of the smoke of the destroyer, the enemy detection mechanism of the siren, the concealment mechanism of the ship girl and the firepower of the battleship, so that I could rescue the Arashi destroyer at a very close distance and successfully This kept Annapolis from being exposed to the sirens' sight from beginning to end, thus preventing the situation from deteriorating.
Compared with the simple and crude attack, Wang Yu plays a skill flow that can control the enemy at the palm of his hand.
It's like the difference between jumping out to fight with a gun and squatting in a corner with a shield on your back and a broadsword, waiting for someone to come.
The latter is obviously tactical and recognized by IW.
What is commendable is that he did not know how to adapt and use the experience of fighting the Siren in the previous world rigidly. Instead, he combined the theory of the previous world with the practice of this world to achieve the combat goal.
Wang Yu felt quite satisfied with his operation.
Judging from the operations of the Arashi destroyer and the surprise shown by the little girl after the brief battle just now, at least the commander Mio Hahara did not allow his fleet to engage in such operations.
Wang Yu thought that as a time traveler, he didn't need to make any big moves to reflect his identity. He only needed to take the fleet out to sea and impress everyone with his excellent tactics.
I think this is a kind of confidence.
So even if this is just a small battle, Wang Yu can be proud of himself and Anna.
However, using this brief battle, he also understood the role of the commander of this world.
Yes, the ship girls in this world are indeed extremely powerful.
But you must know that it is difficult for them to calmly think about how to fight more effectively while fighting.
The existence of the commander is to make up for this.
If there is no commander, the ship girls will only fight on their own, and then achieve half the result with twice the result; but with the commander's observation of the battlefield and the arrangement of the positions of each ship type, this idiom can be reversed and become Get twice the result with half the effort.
Ideally, the commander should be able to formulate various tactics to maximize the battle efficiency of the ship girl and at the same time minimize the damage suffered by the ship girl, just like what Wang Yu did just now.
It's just that the commanders in this world don't seem to have reached this ideal level.
Let's wait and see how Hahara Mio plans to fight against the Siren's main fleet after her main fleet arrives.
After a few moments, Annapolis' radar duration finally ended.
The main Siren battleship, which was originally exposed to the ship girl's perception, returned to concealment, and without the support of the muzzle fire, it was difficult for Wang Yu to see clearly in the pitch-black night directly through visual means, even within the visual range. Siren battleship.
However, even without radar, Anna and Lan already knew the general location of the Siren's main force.
As long as they avoid the scattered Siren fleet, they can continue to track the main Siren force.
Annapolis couldn't do the job, so we had to rely on Lan.
She will have to go over to conduct real-time reconnaissance of the Siren fleet later.
The speed of the fleet increased to thirty knots. After half an hour of sailing, the battleship made several changes in direction.
Anna told Wang Yu that they had bypassed the warships of the Siren Free Fleet.
At this time, they were sailing in the direction of the Siren main fleet.
All in all, the two battleships made a small circle and once again approached the Siren's main fleet from the side and rear.
Although there is no radar support, the ship girl does not know the specific location of the main Siren fleet, but based on the speed and heading of the main Siren fleet before the vanishing point, combined with the time, it can be roughly deduced where the fleet is.
Next, the destroyer, which eats less and does much more, will continue to work.
Lan is indeed a brave little girl. Her speed increased, she broke away from the formation of the Annapolis, and went to pursue it again.
Even if he was being chased and beaten by the sirens just now, he would step forward again without hesitation when needed.
And she won't miss the target this time.
As she gradually approached, the Siren main fleet was successfully discovered by her.
The main siren forces that were poorly concealed were all lit up.
But this time she didn't want to do any extreme operations, so she kept a safe distance.
She would not have time to escape due to the siren's sudden change of direction again.
Wang Yu felt that she was still damaged after all, so he planned to let these two destroyers replace Lan after Yang Yan and Tianjin Feng, who had rushed over from two directions, were in place.
He returned to his seat and looked at the projected chart.
Anna thoughtfully marked the coordinates of the battleship at this time and its previous track on the chart, including the coordinates during the first battle and the coordinates when the enemy ship was sunk and ceased fire. It can be said that she was very careful. Wang Yu took a look at it. Then you know the current situation on the sea.
Currently Annapolis is behind and Lan is in front.
The two ships followed the Siren's main fleet at a distance, trying not to lose their target.
At this time, the two destroyers Yang Yan and Tianjin Feng finally arrived, and Wang Yu immediately asked them to take over Lan's work.
"Where is Yu Yuan's main force?" Wang Yu asked.
Anna was silent for a moment, and then she marked a point on the map: "Probably here."
That point is directly north of the Annapolis fleet, about dozens of nautical miles away.
Since the two sides were sailing in opposite directions, it shouldn't be too far away. He would be able to see Hahara Mio's fleet in half an hour at most.
"Tell her the information about the sirens we have here."
Wang Yu thought for a while and then said: "As for the battle...well, the other battleships belong to her after all, so let her command them."
