Azure: Now that everyone has a ship girl, who wants a girlfriend?

Chapter 208: Air Defense Operation Begins

"Commander, the Siren's carrier-based aircraft have taken off."

Saratoga had been paying attention to his radar. At this moment, he only saw the dense red dots in the distance, which suddenly turned into a red cloud.

This is because there are too many targets, which almost fill up all the reflection areas of the radar.

Ning Le did not reply, his attention was completely on his own small map.

As long as the enemy's carrier-based aircraft approaches within 30 kilometers of the fleet, Ningle will use battlefield delivery skills.

This commander skill was used once before in the battle against Ironbus.

That time, Ningle and others were directly teleported from the battlefield of Lavos to the battlefield where the Iron-Blooded Governor was being pursued.

However, this skill has a prerequisite, which is that you must leave the battle.

Once they are discovered by the Siren, they will not be considered as being in combat and will not be able to use this skill.

"Keep backing away."

The formidable Tu-160 has taken off three times, which means that at least 160 Siren aircraft carriers have been sunk.

On the Saratoga side, the B1B's take-off speed is simply incalculable. It takes off immediately after loading the ammunition, and lands back on the deck after launching the missiles.

"Growler ready to take off."

The Roar was completely prepared. If discovered by carrier-based aircraft, the Roar would use electromagnetic pulses to paralyze all carrier-based aircraft. The moment it left the battle, Ningle would use battlefield delivery to teleport back to the Vichy Church.

Just when Ning Le's attention was all focused on the small map, a line of prompts suddenly popped up on the battle panel.

“Discovered.”

In the game, as long as your own warship is discovered by the enemy, there will be such a prompt on the screen.

But now there was no sign of the enemy on Ningle's small map or Saratoga's radar.

The nearest carrier-based aircraft group is more than 100 kilometers away from Ningle.

Then there is only one possibility, there is a destroyer or submarine nearby.

"Yudachi, activate the array sonar."

An iron can was thrown into the water, with a long tail attached to the back of the can.

This is Yudachi's towed sonar.

This type of sonar can be placed underwater to enhance the detection range and accuracy of the sonar.

"Submarine spotted, Commander."

"It's the submarine again. We were careless."

There is no way around it. Towed sonar also has a duration, just like in the game.

The sonar can last for one minute, but the cooldown time for activating the sonar is 6 minutes.

This also meant that Ningle could not continue to detect below the water surface.

At the same time, those carrier-based aircraft, like headless flies, seemed to have found their target and rushed towards Ning Le's direction.

"Nagato, prepare the three-type bomb."

Thanks to Ningle's special modification of Nagato, the three-type bullet carried by Nagato has also been enhanced.

In the original setting, Yamato's Type 3 bomb was used for air defense, but its actual combat effect was very poor and it had almost no record in actual combat.

But after Ningle's magical modification, not only did Nagato's range increase, but the power of the three-type bullet was also enhanced unprecedentedly.

The modified Type 3 bullet can release more fragments and has a larger attack range.

The improved Type 1 bomb can cause damage to all aerial targets within a km explosion range.

Given the fragile skin of propeller planes during World War II, they would be shot down if hit.

Nagato's three turrets began to rotate.

Nine 9mm naval guns were loaded with Type 460 ammunition and aimed at the direction of the incoming carrier-based aircraft.

“There’s still 100 kilometers to go.”

The carrier-based aircraft were still approaching, and Ningle was still searching for his submarine.

"Found it, Commander."

Faint green ripples spread out in all directions with Yudachi as the center.

The 15-kilometer listening range makes it impossible for submarines near the fleet to escape detection.

On Ningle’s small map, two red dots appeared 12 kilometers due north of him.

“Awesome.”

Ningle, who had no anti-submarine capabilities, could only use bomb support for anti-submarine operations.

Although using a cannon to kill a mosquito is a bit of an overkill, it is the only anti-submarine method Ningle can use now.

Figure 160: After circling half a circle in the air with a huge bomb mounted on it, it flew towards the target.

Then a huge mushroom cloud rose above the sea 12 kilometers away from Ningle’s fleet.

As the explosion ended, the discovery on Ningle's panel also disappeared.

But now Ningle's position has been exposed, and this air battle is inevitable.

"Fire."

The carrier-based aircraft group has approached to 70 kilometers, which is within Nagato's range.

boom!

The roar of the 460mm naval gun was heard.

Compared with artillery shells, the Type 3 shell is very light and has a longer body.

Nine shells flew towards Siren's carrier-based aircraft group in an extremely high parabola.

It's like the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, but these fireworks are much bigger and more powerful.

The explosion of the Type 3 bomb cleared out an area of ​​air, and a circular vacuum area appeared on Ningle's map.

On Ningle's combat panel, Nagato's salvo destroyed at least 1000 carrier-based aircraft.

But Ningle did not dare to relax. Compared with 10 aircraft, these 1000 carrier-based aircraft were nothing.

"Maintain speed and retreat to the open sea."

Ningle could already imagine what it would be like if he was entangled by these 10 carrier-based aircraft.

Any modified battleship would be in vain under the rain of bombs.

So Ningle had to lure these carrier-based aircraft away as quickly as possible and then find a way to escape from the battle.

The J-16 and F18 have already taken off.

The J-16 has a maximum bomb load of 12 tons, which allows it to carry 24 PL-15 air-to-air missiles.

This would be impossible in the real world, but this is a magically modified route, so it doesn't exist.

The F18 is even more terrifying, with a bomb load of up to 18 tons.

This allows the F18 to carry 36 Sidewinder missiles.

Combined with the Saratoga and the Formidable's terrifying aircraft capacity, a single attack can destroy 500 enemies.

In a normal fleet, this kind of air defense capability is terrifying, but there is no way, because the opponent is the Siren.

In the face of 10 carrier-based aircraft, this can only slow down the speed of the carrier-based aircraft group approaching Ningle's fleet.

"Master Tester, we found them."

A Siren girl reported.

"Very good, all the carrier-based aircraft groups will rush forward."

At this moment, the fleet is less than 30 kilometers away from Ningle.

At this distance, it is entirely possible to detect the enemy through visual observation.

In addition, the ship girls on Ningle's side are generally large in size, making it impossible for them to dodge.

"Is this the commander of the Washing Machine Cube Factory?"

Through the vision provided by the carrier-based aircraft, the tester finally saw the situation on Ningle's side.

From a distance, you can't see anything about Ningle's fleet, but that is the information that humans see.

KanColle and Sirens can see specific information.

"21 tons? Interesting."

The tester's attention was drawn to the formidable huge ship.

There's no way, it's really too terrible.

With a length of 400 meters and a width of 90 meters, it is like a mobile port when sailing on the sea.

"The bomber that bombed the Rubik's Cube Factory should be the bomber that took off from this aircraft carrier. Let's deal with it first."

The tester's eyes were cold. He had blown up the Rubik's Cube factory that he had worked hard to build for more than a month. Now he felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
