Some time has passed since the battle officially started.
Although they only sank one Siren battleship, at least many Sirens were damaged.
Naturally, our own fleet also suffered some damage.
The Annapolis in the distance may be where Mio Hahara's current confidence lies. If it weren't for that battleship, she would probably choose to leave the battle temporarily and run to other fleets with the Siren instead of continuing to fight with the Siren here. Ren continued to fight.
In the night, the broadside of Annapolis was flashing with gunfire.
The siren's battleship also quickly jumped out with special light effects after being hit by artillery fire.
Obviously, the output capability of that ship must be stronger than the light cruisers and destroyers washing in the smoke.
Speaking of the light cruisers and destroyers ahead, they are already in some trouble.
Due to the action of Siren's non-capital ships flushing smoke, they quickly approached a relatively close distance, and then threw many torpedoes into the smoke.
One siren torpedo shot is enough to destroy a destroyer, severely damage a light cruiser, and cripple a heavy cruiser. Only battleships with exceptionally good mine protection belts can take a few hits.
And now this kind of torpedo covers a large area on the sea, and the long white tail looks heart-stopping.
Mio Hahara's shipgirl obviously also expected that the siren might cause torpedo blind smoke, so she was already prepared to dodge, and took action the moment the battleship's hydrophone detected the siren torpedo.
But in this case, they had to leave the range of the smoke - but the duration of the smoke was about to end, so there was no problem in leaving the smoke a little earlier and starting to maneuver.
It's just that they have to face the Siren's firepower next, and at such a close distance, three light cruisers and six destroyers are basically fighting the Siren's non-capital ships face-to-face, which is definitely not easy to win. The next battle.
As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the non-capital ships of both sides. The battle between rapid-fire cannons formed a bridge of artillery fire between the fleets of both sides.
Wang Yu commented on this - if you destroyers hadn't handed over all their smoke at the same time, then at least one group of smoke would have been left at this time to cover the retreat or continued fighting of these non-capital ships.
However, due to hindsight, Wang Yu could only ask Anna to pay a little attention to that side while washing the big ship - compared to Hahara Mio's main fleet, these light cruisers are more likely to suffer more serious damage once attacked.
At this time, for the first time, a severely damaged battleship appeared in Mio Hahara's fleet.
After the light cruiser and destroyer left the smoke, they naturally became the main target of attack because they were closest to the Siren. The battleships including the Siren had all adjusted their gun muzzles, and the targets were moved away from the ships such as Amagi Kongo in the distance.
Therefore, intensive firepower immediately covered the sea surface where those non-capital ships were located.
Even though these light ships tried their best to evade, there were still accidents in the face of intensive siren fire.
When the Helena turned once, it just missed the shell fired by the large-caliber naval gun of a Siren battleship.
Although the other shells failed to hit, one shell ran straight through her deck armor, and then penetrated the roof of Helena's core area from top to bottom, and finally exploded in the engine room.
A beam of fire rose from the damage at the point of impact, and because the engine room was under attack, bursts of thick black smoke with flames also emerged from Helena's chimney.
Helena on the bridge groaned in pain, holding the railing tightly with her slender hands - although most of the time the damage to the ship's hull would not be reflected on the ship's mother, damage to the core area was obviously not included in this.
She endured the pain, activated the ship girl's ability, magically repaired the damaged engine, restored the battleship's maneuverability, and then tried to distance herself as much as possible before losing too much speed, but this was a temporary solution after all. As a matter of fact, Helena has now entered the medium-break state. She cannot suffer similar damage again, otherwise she may directly lose her assimilation.
If the ship girl loses her assimilation to the battleship, it is equivalent to sinking in battle.
Mio Hahara on Amagi's side also came to the window immediately, looking worriedly at the battlefield where the non-capital ships of the two sides were fighting. Amagi also adjusted the firepower in a timely manner and turned the attack target to the Siren's non-capital ships.
Seeing this, her destroyers and light cruisers immediately used their own artillery fire to provide cover for Helena.
Fortunately, after this period of time, their torpedoes were almost fully loaded.
They immediately widened their angles and fired torpedoes at the Siren non-capital ship that was engaging in a fierce exchange of firepower with them.
Those sirens did evade. Although the directions were different, it was still an opportunity for other ship girls to attack.
The first ones to seize this opportunity were not the ship girls of Hahara Mio's main fleet, but Anna on the other side.
She keenly discovered the movement of a Siren cruiser, and then at the moment before it turned, she aimed at the waterline during the Siren cruiser's turn, directly activated the burst firing mode, and the three-wheeled cannon roared out.
Wang Yu glanced at her in surprise.
After a moment of flight of the artillery shells, these three rounds of armor-piercing shells accurately hit the side of the large-turning Siren cruiser. The first two rounds of attacks directly filled its core area, and a series of explosive fires appeared on its side. , and then these flames merged into a larger fire ball, and the Siren cruiser was killed directly!
Destroying blow!
Annapolis scored its second sinking of the battle!
This is the ability of the magazine cannon to seize opportunities.
The Siren's lightly armored warships can be severely damaged or even sunk if they are not careful.
Amagi's side was also motivated to attack because of Helena's injury. They delivered a large amount of heavy firepower and quickly sank some of the Siren's other non-main warships in a short period of time.
This can be regarded as temporarily relieving the urgent needs of light cruisers and destroyers.
So Amagi and the others once again turned their attack targets back to the Siren's main force, and Anna's movements were even faster than them. After the cooldown period of the burst shooting ended, intensive firepower once again enveloped the Siren - this was also for Habara. Mio provided the target, and she asked her ship girls to focus their fire on Annapolis' attack target. If she sank one ship early, the pressure on the fleet would be reduced.
Finally, with the cooperation of the battleships, Siren's battleship No. 2 exploded and sank.
Anna quickly adjusted the target to maintain uninterrupted firepower delivery.
But Amagi had some more scars on his body. This ship girl with nine fluffy fox tails and pointed fox ears was the main force in this battle. She withstood the damage of at least six siren warships. Shoot, and rely on the ability of the ship girl to persist until now. When the battle is completed, you will probably get the unstoppable achievement...
A moment later, two Mio Hahara's light cruisers killed one of the Siren's cruisers by concentrating fire, expanding the results of the battle.
Overall, the situation quickly became clear.
The sirens have lost a lot of their firepower advantage. Although Habara Mio's fleet has suffered injuries, including serious injuries like Helena, they at least maintain their combat effectiveness. Facing the remaining sirens, their advantage is only It will get bigger and bigger.
If this battle continues, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Siren fleet.
However, according to what was previously discussed, Hahara Mio did not want the damage to her fleet to increase, and she also wanted to leave something to drink for the other two commanders, so they would not continue to massively destroy the remaining warships of the Siren fleet. .
Wang Yu asked Anna to tell Hahara Mio to sink another Siren main force and prepare to withdraw from the battle.
Counting the time, the fleets of the other two commanders are about to arrive.
