Chapter 187 Steady Progress
"Listen to my explanation, Commander Ningle. It's not that I don't believe it, but this kind of thing is really unbelievable. No one would believe that 11 ship girls can destroy thousands of Siren mass-produced ships."
"How about this, Commander Ningle, I will bring my personal guards to protect you from behind. Don't worry, we won't disturb you in your battle."
Littorio's words were sincere, and Ning Le also felt that it was not that he did not trust him, but that he was really considering his own safety.
"okay."
Just like that, the original team of 12 people suddenly became 15.
Littorio, accompanied by two personal guards, followed Ningle and came to the port's dock.
"Everyone, unfold the ship."
The main combat method this time is to clear out a large number of Siren mass-produced ships.
So Ningle made adjustments to the formation.
At the forefront is still Yudachi. As the eyes and scout of the fleet, Yudachi must be at the forefront of the fleet.
Following behind Yudachi were Nagato and War-weary.
Both of their ships were top-notch battleships during World War II, and 30 kilometers was their optimal combat range.
Their main mission is to destroy all Siren mass-produced ships approaching the fleet.
Behind Warspite and Nagato is Ron.
His mission is to protect Warspite and Nagato's output.
There is no need to say much about Ron's defense and offensive capabilities. Except for Amagi, it has the strongest artillery capability.
But even the cruiser's range is its shortcoming.
Ron, with an optimal range of 20 kilometers, is not suitable for this kind of large-scale enemy clearance task.
Therefore, his task was to protect the two battleships in front of him and provide them with a good output environment.
Behind Ron is the Little Sky City.
The electromagnetic gun's 80-kilometer range can kill elite targets such as the Siren flagship in the first place.
24 anti-ship missiles can also provide impressive output effects.
However, the main force of this battle was not them, but the two aircraft carriers behind them.
Akagi and Saratoga, as the two aircraft carriers with the strongest group damage, are the main output of this battle.
After Akagi was equipped with the Stuka dive bomber, its combat capability was qualitatively improved.
Just one erosion bomb with a weight of up to 12 is enough to send the Siren flagship into the sea.
Saratoga's B-1b can carry 32 guided bombs.
If three aircraft are dispatched at the same time, 96 targets can be eliminated at one time.
As for the sisters Formidable and Bismarck, their hulls have not been modified, mainly because the cost of modification is really too high.
So this time they stayed on the Saratoga with Ninler.
Oh, and there’s also the proprietress Akashi.
He has an important mission.
This battle is a protracted one, and Akashi is able to repair the ship girls, so he also stays with Ningle. As long as a ship girl is injured, they will return to the flagship as soon as possible and Akashi will repair her.
Littorio still wanted to unfold the ship and help Ningle in the battle, but under Ningle's strong request, he could only stay in the captain's room of Saratoga with his two guards.
In this way, the group set out towards the waters of Sardinia in a mighty manner.
"Commander, 450 Siren mass-produced ships have been spotted at 80 kilometers."
"Siren mass-produced ships were spotted at 120 kilometers, numbering 50."
As soon as it left the control of the Vichy headquarters, Saratoga's radar detected the enemy in the distance.
"Saratoga, the enemy at 450 kilometers is in your hands."
"Yudachi, you deal with the enemy at 120 kilometers."
Ning Le was giving orders, and behind him, Kewei was looking at Ning Le with longing eyes.
"Commander, when will you give me a transformation? Is it because I didn't perform well enough?"
Thinking of this, Kewei remembered the skills that Akagi taught him last night.
His face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"Is it only if I do that kind of thing with the Commander that he will transform me? Is it Saratoga too~"
Kewei looked at Saratoga who was sitting in Ningle's arms. He thought of what he had done last night, and then thought that these things were done by Saratoga, this little loli.
"Commander, how did you escape the pursuit of the Military Police?"
There was also envy in the eyes of little Bismarck and little Tirpitz, but also a hint of shock.
"After the modification, it actually has such a long strike range, but why didn't the commander modify it for me and my sister?"
Little Bismarck looked at Saratoga in Ninler's arms with a longing and envious look.
Although the faces of the people present showed longing, they were not overly shocked by the strength displayed by Ning Le. However, there were three exceptions.
"My Lord Flagship, what is this commander talking about? He can detect targets hundreds of kilometers away and attack them?"
"Yeah, the order he gave was to have the destroyer strike a target 120 kilometers away. How is that possible?"
The two guards stood beside Littorio and couldn't help asking questions.
Littorio was also very confused and shocked.
It is normal to detect targets hundreds of kilometers away, and this can be done with the help of carrier-based aircraft.
But Littorio must remember clearly that Ningle did not let his ship girl launch any carrier-based aircraft, but went straight to kill after discovering the target.
The key point is that this is not what shocked him the most.
What he couldn't understand the most was how could an aircraft carrier handle more than 90 targets by itself?
Just as he was wondering, a terrifying engine roar was heard outside the command room.
The sound of the B-1b's aircraft engine is very unique, it is a scream with a hint of dullness.
This highly recognizable engine sound attracted Littorio's attention and made him look at the runway outside the window.
"Oh my god, this is a carrier-based aircraft!!"
Looking at the B-40b with a wingspan of more than 1 meters in front of him, Littorio was stunned.
So during the dozen or so seconds that the B-1b took off, he just stared blankly as the B-1b entered the catapult and was ejected.
"This~"
Littorio inevitably looked in the direction of Ningle, intending to ask him what kind of carrier-based aircraft this was.
As if he had already guessed the situation here, Ning Le turned his gaze to Littorio early on, watching his eyes change from disbelief to dullness.
And now, he is looking at me with an inquiring expression.
Seeing his ugly appearance, Littorio felt a little embarrassed to be seen by the commander in front of him.
He followed Ningle here because, on the one hand, he was really worried that something might happen to Ningle, and on the other hand, he wanted to see with his own eyes the Sirens being expelled from Sardinia and his homeland being recovered.
"Commander Ningle, is this your strength?"
In the end, Littorio asked the questions in his heart.
He didn't know how to pry into a commander's secrets, which was obviously very rude.
"Well, this is just a part of it. You will see more incredible battles later."
But the next hour later.
"There are too many Sirens. We can't defeat them all."
Ning Le felt helpless.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, his speed was already terrifying. In this hour, Ningle had destroyed at least 200 Siren mass-produced ships.
But for Ning Le, this speed was obviously too slow.
"The efficiency of two aircraft carriers is still too low. We have to find a solution."
Ning Le was also a little confused. Under normal circumstances, Siren mass-produced ships would sail aimlessly on the sea, but the Sirens here seemed different.
They seemed to be defending the Sardinian headquarters. As long as one Siren was destroyed, nearby Sirens would soon wander here, and mass-produced ships would appear out of thin air in the sea.
"There is definitely something wrong with the Sirens tide in Sardinia. There are definitely more than a thousand Sirens here."
In this one-hour battle, Ningle only advanced 20 kilometers, yes, only 20 kilometers.
The destroyed Sirens were quickly replaced by new ones.
"Saratoga, go and scout over at Sardinia's headquarters."
Ningle's current location is 5000 kilometers away from the Sardinia headquarters. At the speed of the B-1b, he can return in two or three hours.
"Okay Commander."
So this time the B-1b that took off from Saratoga did not carry any weapons, and after taking off it flew towards Sardinia's headquarters at a speed of Mach 1.2.
