"Just follow the instructions." Fang Xiang hung up the phone.
"Hey, high-speed battleship..." He shook his head and looked at Lorraine, "Is it really okay?"
"I don't know." The worry in Lorraine's eyes was visible to the naked eye.
In the quiet night, there is only the sound of waves.
The uneasy feeling of being watched gradually crept into everyone's heart.
The radar image kept refreshing, but no objects were detected.
Even the sonar signal of the submarine that looked like a Siren seemed to be deliberately detected by the command ship. The image sent back always showed only that lonely dot.
Yes, even the signals of the fish disappeared.
"No, Commander, we can't be led by the nose..." Richthofen frowned, she turned over and jumped into the sea, and Albatross caught her with a roar.
The roar of the steel dragon startled everyone.
Then the iron wings rising outside the window made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The steel deck was spliced and unfolded, and four fighter formations were released and flew in all directions.
As if it didn't hear the command ship's objection, Independence also released its own fighter formation, followed by the Taoyao squadron's aircraft carrier Shokaku.
The propellers tore through the quiet of the night.
There is no moon tonight.
Just like Burgundy on that Mid-Autumn Festival night, it was unsettling.
The command ship broke through the waves, and in the distance, two Iris battleships boldly followed the destroyers forward. The small destroyers also put away their playful intentions and entered combat status.
"drop."
"drop."
"drop."
No one dared to speak, only the damn sound of the instrument kept beating.
Just like the constant dripping of water in the bathroom after dark.
One minute.
ten minutes.
No response.
"The target has risen to the lightning strike depth!"
"Implement anti-submarine operations immediately, turn full left!" Haitian knew that he could not delay any longer.
The three destroyers that were closer pounced like wolves.
Depth charges entered the water.
But, the suspicious signal disappeared.
The depth charges hit nothing.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you so. This place has witnessed hundreds of battles, big and small. How could a large number of Sirens appear here?" The elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Lorraine remained noncommittal. It would be very abnormal if even the fish disappeared.
"It's really quiet tonight. There's not even a school of fish on the sonar." Another commander said with some regret.
"You fish man, you want to drink fish soup again, right?" His friend immediately teased with a smile.
"Emm, speaking of which, seniors, is it normal if there are no schools of fish?" Dongfang Ming said weakly.
"That's normal," the fisherman said regretfully, "there aren't usually many fish in the waters controlled by the Siren."
"Then you..." Dongfang Ming hesitated to speak.
"I've already told you, he just wants to eat fish." The fisherman's friend waved his hand, "Don't worry about it..."
"Bang!" Something hit the hull.
"What is that?!" Everyone returned to combat mode.
Still nothing on the sonar.

After a while, the communication rang -
“It’s marine debris.”
So everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's probably the wreckage of another merchant ship." A commander said sympathetically, "It's really... Sigh."
The waves will devour every soul.
But this time, no one answered.
A long silence fell in the war room.
Lorraine checked the time: 11:47 PM.
No one is destined to sleep tonight.
Some people looked out the window nervously, some stared at the clock face, and some contacted their ship girls.
They all seemed a little uneasy.
"Sonar detected a target?"
"(Donghuang swears), finally came out?"
"Ah... no... it seems to be marine debris..."
"(Beautiful curse words)."
Lorraine rubbed his head tiredly.
"Report to the commander, the visibility is too low tonight, and the reconnaissance efficiency of the air formation is frighteningly low." Richtofen sent back the message.
"Keep one or two formations and recall the rest of the carrier-based aircraft." Lorraine replied.
He patted the person in front of him and said, "Commander Lin, can Miss Shokaku take over Richthofen's position in four hours?"
The woman called Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Of course, thank you for your hard work, Miss Richthofen."
"Thank you." Lorraine responded politely.
Then the request was uploaded, and of course, the wording was to allow the carrier groups to do two-by-two shift changes.
"Richthofen, hold on a little longer. You can rest in four hours."
The request was approved quickly.
Along with the right to rest comes the right to independence.
"Huh... I must get some more sleep later..." The Red Baron complained. The constant nervous tension really drained his energy.
"Thank you for your hard work. Just hold on a little longer." This was all Lorraine could say to comfort him.
"Sonar detected target."
"What's it this time? Let me guess?" a commander laughed. "Submarine? Submarine warship? Or ocean debris?"
Others laughed too.
"Boom!"
No one could laugh anymore.
"The long moon hits a mine and is shattered!"
"Damn it, it's a mine!"
Chapter 159: March: Night Operation
"Is there 100 tons of TNT in here? One shot can severely damage Changyue!" San Juan carried Changyue in disbelief. No matter what, it was a fact that his companion was severely damaged and unconscious.
"Notify the command ship and prepare to slow down and clear the mines." Leipzig sighed and took off her headphones in frustration. "By the way, can someone tell me why I didn't detect any of these things?"
"Don't worry, even the Berlin sound system fails sometimes." Southampton patted her shoulder.
"I'll take Changyue back to the command ship first. Hunter will take Changyue's position. I'll be back soon." San Juan turned around and ran towards the command ship.
"Be careful!" Leipzig shouted.
"Got it!" San Juan's voice came from afar.
Soon, the order to slow down mine clearance was issued.
Leipzig and other ship girls breathed a sigh of relief.
No impulse... not bad.
She couldn't help but think of her previous commander—
He thinks the ship girls are omnipotent, and his only order when he gives them is to fight to the death. He also beats and scolds them from time to time.
Leipzig still remembers the feeling of the iron chain hitting his face.
But it's all in the past. That guy should be feeling pretty comfortable in jail now.
Leipzig shook its head and let go of its not-so-good past.
She looked up and looked into the distance. Two Iris battleships were still speeding in the distance, jumping up from time to time to avoid mines.
Among them, the blonde ship girl was the most eye-catching. The battle flag in her hand emitted a faint and gentle light in the dark night.
Reassuring.
"I hope you, young lady, won't meet someone like that in the future." She whispered a blessing.
"Leipzig, come quickly! Don't just stand there!" his companions shouted.
"Oh, here it comes!" Leipzig ran over quickly.
"What are you thinking?" Southampton looked at Leipzig.
"I still don't understand why I can't detect such a big mine in front of me." Leipzig complained and started to dismantle the mine with his companions.
"I don't understand why we can't detect any of the mines with so many of them." Everyone in the command room was staring at each other.
"Can this mine be counter-detected?"
Everyone was stuck for a while.
"Genius, discharged!" Burst of applause rang out.
"Well, then, do you think the Siren's hull will be like this as well?" the commander continued.
"Shut up, bastard! Your mouth is about to be forked out!"
"A pack of Siren wolves has been discovered..." someone exclaimed.
"Oops." The commander who proposed the hypothesis couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Kill the prophet first!" The other commanders glared at him fiercely.
The command ship is now in a slow-speed sailing phase and must hold on until the mine clearance work is completed before it can move forward at full speed.
But whether it is detonation or demolition, it takes time!
The wolves swam slowly around the command ship, seemingly sizing up their prey.
"Six, seven... and the number is still rising! All of them are at least 20km away from us!"
This is absolutely the worst news.
"Emm, gentlemen, does the command ship have the ability to conduct anti-submarine operations at 20km?"
"I'm sorry bro, at this distance, no."
"Damn it, just gotta make the girls hurry up."
"The battleships are trying their hand at anti-submarine aircraft. The destroyers and cruisers are working on mine clearance."
All the noisy noises gave Lorraine a headache.
