When Mio Hahara's three battleships began to engage the Siren fleet, the destroyers that had laid mines before also raised smoke, letting the smoke envelope them and the three light cruisers at the same time.
For a time, several clouds of smoke appeared on the sea, and dense artillery lines flew out from the smoke, attacking the nearest Siren battleship.
"It would be great if we also had a little follower who could pull cigarettes for you."
Wang Yu said to Anna with great interest: "She will provide vision, and you can squat in the smoke and output as much as you like. I just don't know if the destroyer designed in our world can use this smoke generator after the ship girl is generated here."
"It should be possible. These smokes come from the ability of the ship girl." Anna thought for a while: "But it seems that not all ship girls can have this ability. If the commander installs a smoke generator on me, it may release All that comes out is ordinary smoke."
Wang Yu nodded and said nothing more.
Annapolis has not yet been moved to a suitable location, so it is not possible to fire at this time.
In order to let Wang Yu know the battlefield situation, in addition to the positions of the battleships on both sides, Anna also marked the smoke range drawn by the destroyers in Hahara Mio's fleet on the map, using a white circle to represent it. At this time, the six destroyers released The smoke formed a large smoke array, allowing the warship to move and fire within the smoke array.
Wang Yu looked at the map, as if he had found a new point of interest: "Speaking of which, are those destroyers raising smoke at the same time?"
Anna confirmed his inquiry.
This made Wang Yu curl his lips: "The smoke lasts for about the same amount of time after the destroyer smokes. Since Hahara Mio needs the smoke to ensure the concealment of the light cruiser and destroyer's firing, why must the destroyer smoke together?"
"What the commander means is that having the destroyers pull the smoke in batches can get longer smoke."
"Yes, let's take turns." Wang Yu shrugged: "This way, the smoke may be maintained throughout the battle, ensuring that the lightly armored ships can be protected from the threat of siren fire to the greatest extent."
Anna thought for a while: "Maybe Commander Hahara Mio has some battle plan."
"Maybe so."
Wang Yuxin thought that Habara Mio might not have any battle plan. These destroyers probably thought that a wave of smoke would be enough time for them to cause enough damage to the sirens, so they did not think about continuing the smoke.
And in his opinion, destroyers have better jobs to do than smoke and clean.
But let’s not talk about that for now.
In short, although the guns of these light cruisers and destroyers are not large in caliber, they still have the ability to fire small-caliber high-explosive shells.
Take the Helena in the light cruiser as an example. This battleship has fifteen 152mm cannons. One round of projection can cover a Siren battleship, so even if the ignition expectation of a single shell is not high, but in Even if the number of hits is increased, it can still make the Siren battleship burn and continue to be damaged.
And if the distance is close, armor-piercing projectiles can also be used to hit areas of the Siren warship that are not protected by heavy armor.
This can also cause damage to the Siren. Since the hit points are mainly concentrated on the unarmored superstructure of the Siren battleship, it is nicknamed "scratching the upper layer".
The destroyers did the same. They opened fire and waited patiently for their torpedo tubes to be loaded.
This is different from the previous world. Every destroyer in this world has a reserve of torpedoes. Since the ship's strength can be used to protect the torpedoes from being exploded, it is possible to release one round of torpedoes at sea, then reload one round and then release these torpedoes. kind of thing.
The density of firepower of the light cruisers and destroyers, and the quality of the firepower of the battleships, caused a lot of damage to the Siren. The Siren battleship that had two cores fired by Amagi was on the verge of sinking under the concentrated fire of Hahara Mio's fleet. Several other Siren battleships were slightly damaged, and flames began to burn on the hulls.
But similarly, as Siren reacted, Hahara Mio felt uncomfortable.
More than ten minutes after the battle began, Hahara Mio asked the ship girl on her side to ask Wang Yu when the attack could begin.
As the Siren regrouped and launched a counterattack, her fleet was quickly outnumbered by the Siren in terms of projection capacity due to the small number of battleships. As the light cruisers and destroyers in front were temporarily hidden in the smoke and opened fire, Therefore, the three detected battleships became the targets of siren fire attacks.
With such intensive firepower, even if the ship girls tried to evade, they would not be able to dodge all the gunfire.
Facing some incoming firepower, the battleship could only resist with a salvo angle. Fortunately, the distance was far away, and under the premise of increasing the armor effectiveness by adjusting the angle, the Siren was temporarily unable to obtain too many effective hits on the core area of the battleship. wear.
At the same time, the sirens also knew how to ignite fire, so when Wang Yu looked over there, he found that the stern of the Tiancheng was already burning with a dazzling flame, and the light formed by the flame just turned the ship black. "Silhouette".
If you look closely, you will find that the areas on the Amagi that are not covered by armor have begun to have scars caused by hits, but these injuries are not serious for the time being.
But it's still damage anyway.
Ship girls are similar to sirens. After the ship's hull is severely damaged, it will be destroyed or sunk.
The relationship between Hahara Mio's main fleet and the sirens is basically starting to trade injuries for injuries.
It's just that due to the early deployment and the continuous attacks of the light cruisers, the Siren's current injuries are more serious.
But as time goes by, this situation will gradually be reversed.
Therefore, this kind of future that everyone can see is enough for Hahara Mio to feel anxious.
Her plan is not to let her main fleet fight the Sirens alone. According to the previously formulated plan, Annapolis at least needs to suppress the Sirens with firepower. Otherwise, her fleet alone will definitely Gradually falling into disadvantage.
Wang Yu looked at the current situation on the sea and sighed.
By witnessing fleet battles in this world, he more intuitively felt why Hahara Mio said before that it would take a fleet of three commanders to deal with this Siren main fleet.
Because this world seems to have no need for strategy at all, and the battle with the Siren is mainly a DPM competition, so destroyers and light cruisers are also included in the bombardment queue.
To put it simply, whoever can wipe out the opponent before suffering serious losses will win.
Wang Yu is not saying that this is wrong, mainly because in his opinion, simply letting all warships collide and sirens compare with DPM is definitely not as useful as rationally allocating the work of warships and taking the initiative on the battlefield.
For example, the application of non-capital ships.
Taking the destroyer as an example, Hahara Mio asked the destroyer to draw smoke and conduct stealth bombardment on the front line. This can indeed increase the firepower density of the attacking sirens. However, in Wang Yu's view, the artillery fire of a destroyer is limited after all, and they can be used for far more than just destroyers. this point.
In addition to opening up the field of vision, covering teammates is also a key part of the destroyer.
If it were commanded by Wang Yu, he would have a destroyer stay next to the battleship and smoke at all times to allow the ship to avoid siren detection. Even if the smoke is not very effective at covering up battleships, it can at least temporarily protect the battleship. Avoid the siren battleship's gunfire, so that even if the front line lacks the firepower of two destroyers, it can better protect the capital ship.
Or simply move a destroyer to the side of the battlefield, and then throw mines at the Siren fighting its main force, which is much better than simply squatting in a line of smoke and relying on shelling output.
He had previously thought of leaving the battlefield to Mio Hahara, so he did not give such advice. But now, Wang Yu thought with the benefit of hindsight that he should have given some pointers to her deployment at that time.
Therefore, according to her wishes, Annapolis was allowed to supplement the lack of output of Hahara Mio's fleet.
Annapolis is almost in place, and it doesn't matter if the firing time is slightly earlier at this time.
Wang Yu took a look at the map and immediately selected the target for Anna to attack.
