Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Let's do it here. When bombing, ignore the wandering sirens and find the weak points in the defenses and those important facilities to bomb."

Tirpitz called for the team to stop.

"understood."

Black Flying Dragon responded; she knew it was meant for her.

Of all the aircraft carriers present, she was the only one without experience in bombing bases.

Black Dragon controlled the ship's equipment to unfold, and blue light spots converged on the runway, forming one aircraft after another. After a run-up, they quickly took off and hovered in the air.

Essex and Perseus also began to launch their carrier-based aircraft, eventually gathering nearly two hundred carrier-based aircraft in the sky, silently approaching the Sirens base under the cover of dark clouds.

The Black Dragon and his group are currently located near the Bering Sea on the map, about a thousand nautical miles from the front line. Without a teleportation point, it would take about four days to get to this location from Donghuang.

Fortunately, the ship girls in this world are not fuel-powered, otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to go back.

A few minutes later, Black Dragon and his crew's carrier-based aircraft approached the top of the Siren base.

From an overhead view, the entire island is an irregular triangle, with the land entirely covered in metal. There are many devices that the Black Dragons cannot recognize placed on it, but there are hardly any tall buildings in sight.

Bang bang bang.

Suddenly, the sirens patrolling the area spotted the approaching carrier-based aircraft, and the anti-aircraft guns began to operate. The anti-aircraft guns stationed around the base began to fire back, and a large number of bullets shot into the sky with sparks.

"No obvious command center was seen. We proceeded with a direct bombing campaign. The specific location was 30 degrees southeast, 20.3 nautical miles from the center of the island."

Shangri-La gave a report while controlling the carrier-based aircraft.

"Understood. Prioritize bombing the outlying areas."

As Tirpitz spoke, the main gun was adjusted, and then with a loud bang, more than a dozen shells roared out as white mist rose. The others nearby also went into battle alert, keeping watch on the surrounding situation.

Carrier-based aircraft began their dive from the Siren base in the distance. Compared to warships, this base, which covered the entire island, was obviously a huge target. It hardly needed to be aimed. A large number of bombs were dropped. A few were detonated in the air, but most of them fell to the ground. In an instant, the entire island was like a flower blooming. The explosions were deafening. Not only did the bombs explode at their landing points, but a large amount of equipment was also blown up along with them.

The Sirens base, which was intact just a moment ago, is now engulfed in flames after a round of bombing, with almost half of the island reduced to ruins.

However, as a price, more than twenty carrier-based aircraft were shot down by anti-aircraft guns, and they crashed and exploded on the island.

Just then, Tirpitz and his men's cannonballs flew in from a distance. Although they didn't hit the exact center, they still landed on the island. With penetrating force, the cannonballs went deep underground and then exploded.

Boom boom boom!

As the entire island turned into burning ruins, the bombers, having completed their mission, began their return journey, while the accompanying fighters engaged in combat with the fighters defending against the Sirens.

In less than twenty minutes of fighting, the Sirens' base was almost completely destroyed, demonstrating the destructive power of the aircraft carrier.

“A group of sirens is approaching from the southwest. They are imitators, numbering more than twenty, and are sixty nautical miles away from us.”

While recovering its carrier-based aircraft, Black Dragon noticed the Sirens approaching and quickly reported it.

"The sirens who went to find us are returning, and there are also more than twenty imitators approaching from the northeast."

Essex also issued a report.

"The bombing is over, and the sirens defending the base have returned with the carrier-based aircraft."

Shangri-La report.

"We will detach some carrier-based aircraft to contain the enemy, and then withdraw to the northwest."

Tirpitz made arrangements immediately, then adjusted the ship's equipment and led the team to begin the withdrawal.

retreat.

"Didn't they say there weren't that many Sirens?"

Black Dragon scrambled fifteen carrier-based aircraft to engage the Sirens in the direction of the base, while the other carrier-based aircraft returned at high speed. He himself also moved and retreated with Tirpitz.

The entire team turned around and began to retreat within a minute.

"This is only relative. These Sirens approaching are probably the defensive forces of a nearby Siren base."

Eugen casually answered, standing beside the black dragon.

"Although there are quite a few now, if there were mass-produced models here, we would probably be surrounded."

Minneapolis chimed in.

Black Flying Dragon naturally understood, but couldn't help but complain.

boom!

They hadn't run for more than a few minutes when shells came flying from afar, and ten imitators appeared on the horizon. Despite Essex's harassment, they had still managed to discover the situation.

More than a dozen shells flew rapidly over the heads of the people and landed on the water, causing an explosion.

"It seems the sirens of the deep sea aren't as clever as I thought!"

Minneapolis scoffed and launched an artillery barrage in that direction while moving. Cleveland and her team seized the opportunity to attack. Under the pressure of the aircraft, the imitator team was unable to dodge and was hit by the shells, turning into sparks and falling onto the sea.

bump!

The nearby Sirens were dealt with, but the sound of artillery fire also revealed the location of Black Dragon and his group. More than twenty Sirens that had chased them out from the base used the sound to locate them and began firing.

Numerous columns of water rose from the sea surface, and Black Flying Dragon and the others moved among them, their speed not slowing down in the slightest.

In a chase on the sea, even with a numerical advantage, you may not necessarily achieve the desired results if you do not know the enemy's exact location.

Tirpitz led his team silently across the sea, avoiding the Sirens' movements through reconnaissance aircraft observations, and shook off the Sirens' pursuing force in just one hour.

Boom!

Seemingly representing the Sirens' unwillingness, thunder rumbled in the overcast sky, followed by a torrential downpour that seemed poised to intensify. A strong wind swept across the sea, causing the once calm surface to churn. More than a dozen girls weaved through the rolling waves, seemingly on the verge of being swallowed by the ocean at any moment, facing immense danger.

"In this weather, reconnaissance planes can't see much."

Black Dragon reached out and brushed a strand of hair from his forehead to the side, speaking to Tirpitz beside him.

Even ship girls cannot completely avoid the effects of heavy rain. Working in such weather requires several times more energy than usual.

The others were also soaked to the bone, which greatly affected the speed of the voyage.

"U37, you and Big Bluefin are watching the underwater situation."

Tirpitz picked up the communicator, said something, and then pulled a blue card out of his pocket and tossed it aside.

bump!

The blue cards transformed into starlight in the air, then recombine to form a large ship, over twenty meters long and six meters wide, shaped like a black reef. It landed on the sea with a dull thud, attracting everyone's attention.

"Take a break for now and wait for the storm to pass before moving forward."

Tirpitz raised his voice and gave the order, then circled the submarine for a moment and opened a door near the top right side. Inside the door was a two-meter-wide corridor with metal walls on both sides. Only by opening the middle door could one enter.

Black Flying Dragon reached out and grabbed the door frame to climb inside, and the others followed one after another.

After everyone was inside, Eugen closed the outer shell door, and some sections of the walls on both sides opened up to collect all the seawater that had seeped in. Then, warm air blew out from the gaps. The wind wasn't particularly strong, but it was quite comfortable.

"This is the rest area."

Tirpitz opened both doors and pointed to the left door.

Black Dragon looked around. To the left was a room about seven meters long. The decoration wasn't luxurious, but it had all the necessary household items, such as a sofa and tea table, as well as a separate bathroom. There was also a door at the end that could be opened. To the right was the control room.

This submarine is different from the ones used for combat. It is rectangular in shape and does not have the protruding observation equipment on it. It is purely for rest.

Tirpitz and Eugen entered the control room. Black Dragon didn't join in the fun. He walked to the end of the room on the left and opened the door. There was a similar room there, but instead of a sofa, there were two rows of beds with the blankets already folded.

"Wuhu, how extravagant!"

Minneapolis followed the black dragon into the room, whistling.

"Go take a shower first, so you don't get sick."

Black Flying Dragon reached out and patted her shoulder, saying...

"Ok."

Minneapolis didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the bathroom at the end of the street.

"Count me in!"

Santiago squeezed in from the back and immediately grabbed Minneapolis's hand.

"What a hassle, did you bring a change of clothes?"

Minneapolis clicked her tongue and led Santiago into the bathroom.

Suddenly, the submarine shuddered. Black Dragon glanced at the round window beside him; seawater was gradually flooding the window. The submarine slowly moved forward in the direction of the rushing water, and soon left the surface. The torrential rain no longer affected it.

To the submarine.

The submarine continued to descend and eventually came to rest on the seabed. Its power source disappeared, and the entire submarine turned into a reef and merged into the seabed.

From the outside, the submarine has no windows, but you can see the outside scenery from inside. You have no idea how deep it is. It's pitch black outside, and you can only barely see a few meters away.

"I never imagined my first dive would be in the deep sea."

Cleveland walked over from the other room, his tone inexplicably regretful.

"You wouldn't need this if you wanted to dive in shallow water."

Black Dragon turned around and said with a smile.

"That's true. We've only been out for a short time and we've already encountered this kind of weather. I wonder how things are going on Helena's side."

Cleveland said with some concern.

"Don't worry, their team is much stronger than ours. Even if they fight the Sirens head-on, they won't necessarily be at a disadvantage."

Black Dragon shrugged.

"hope so."

Cleveland smiled.

Half an hour later, everyone present had taken a shower and sat around the sofa in the room.

"Destroying a Siren base right after setting off is a good start, but our goal is not just one or two Siren bases. Our objective is to operate in the deep sea and force the Sirens in the front-line areas to make minimal tactical adjustments."

Tirpitz stood in the middle of the room, summarizing the operation.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to go directly to the front lines?"
