Bismarck's words made everyone realize that the J-League was simply unable to catch up with Shimakaze.
They immediately thought of such a price.
As long as it is not restrained or held back, Shimakaze will always have the advantage of the first move, not to mention the carrier-based aircraft in the sky that are ready to provide support to Shimakaze at any time.
With the presence of the aircraft carrier, she would not be afraid of being surrounded as long as she could hold out through the night.
For the J-League, it is a slow death process unless they get rid of the warships that are holding them back.
"Hood, what on earth is your admiral? A heavy cruiser is fast, has powerful torpedoes, and even its main guns are almost as powerful as those of a weaker battleship."
"Can you please stop hiding it? Now they are fighting among themselves and we can only watch from the outside."
"The people are all yours, what are you afraid of?"
Washington, who felt like he was being tickled by a cat, really couldn't help it.
Looking at the eyes that were all staring at him.
"I didn't expect her to be able to run so fast. She told us before that she could only run 40 knots. As for the other data, I was also surprised."
"But to correct me, he said this was a destroyer, a destroyer in his fleet."
Hood said in a low voice, afraid that if he spoke loudly he would lose control of his joy and shock.
"Hood, look at this for yourself. How can this be a destroyer? It weighs over 1 tons, and with that main gun, can you open your eyes and tell me this is a destroyer?"
"Is this reasonable?"
"Torpedoes are faster than normal torpedoes, and the speed at which they are generated is also ridiculous. One battleship is almost as fast as 10 normal destroyers."
"No, the combat power of 10 normal destroyers may not be comparable to that of a battleship like this."
"Hood, I hate you! You guys intercepted little Weiwei halfway, give her back to the I-United Department!"
Watching the performance of Shimakaze and the aircraft carrier, Veneto felt more and more regretful.
She was just a little late. She had originally planned to recruit him into the I-United Department when he graduated from the academy.
Unexpectedly, she didn't expect that he would be snatched away by the E-United Department before he could graduate normally. Now the more powerful Wei'an is, the more heartbroken she is.
Although Veneto was the only one yelling, the other flagships present also had all kinds of complicated feelings in their hearts.
Especially the J-United Department.
The final result is still unknown, but the ability demonstrated by Wei'an now far exceeds that of a normal admiral.
The aircraft carriers are powerful, the destroyers are powerful, and there are still a few warships that have not been used. How many surprises are waiting for them?
Even Akagi, who had been nonchalant all along, now looked nervous.
Doesn't being indifferent mean that they have confidence in the commander of their joint headquarters?
But now the remaining 41 admirals of the J-Union are all here. They are the most powerful force in the entire assessment, with as many as 212 warships.
However, a surprise attack by Vian bombers caused serious damage to 56 warships, and 5 destroyers were lost among the pursuing destroyers.
In an instant, the fleet lost nearly a quarter of its combat effectiveness.
This is just the beginning of the chase.
Although it was difficult for bombers to attack the J-Unit at night, they wanted to chase a destroyer lurking in the dark.
The kind that you can't catch up with.
She felt a headache just thinking about it.
This is all because of the lack of air superiority, and also because of their misjudgment of the combat effectiveness of the Vian aircraft carrier.
It is understandable if you say that Matsubayashi is stronger than most admirals, after all, most of his warships are battleships.
But Wei'an is different, there are 8 ship girls.
1 battleship, 1 heavy cruiser, 1 light cruiser, 3 destroyers, and 2 aircraft carriers.
Except for battleships which are strong from level 1, aircraft carriers can only form combat power in the late stage.
The rest are all warships with slightly insufficient combat power.
But it was this set of tactics, which should have been centered around the battle column, that was turned around by Wei'an.
His aircraft carrier starts to be strong from level 1, and it will become doubly strong.
Chapter 210 Bitter and Powerless
An aircraft carrier with a greatly changed appearance can take off as many aircraft as two legendary aircraft carriers at the same time.
There is also a legendary aircraft carrier.
The same goes for the destroyer. After being modified to such a large size, its speed should have decreased, but this does not seem to be the case on his battleships.
Now the admiral of the J-United Forces is somewhat helpless in maintaining the security of his warships.
Not to mention that he didn't know whether the warships lurking in other parts of the sea would cause serious harm to the J-League.
No matter what people outside think of them.
The J-United Commander who is under assessment is already in over his head.
How could they save their faces when they couldn't capture a single warship after dispatching so many? They would probably become the laughing stock of other admirals after the assessment is over.
Therefore, Matsubayashi directly ordered a dispersed blockade of Shimakaze. Following Shimakaze would also mean being hit by torpedoes, so it would be better to directly shrink her range of activities.
Therefore, when the great fleet began to separate, Lexington immediately informed Vian.
"What should we do next, Commander?"
"Shimakaze, make a detour and lead to where Yukikaze is."
"Xuefeng, don't defend the sea for now. Head to Island No. 3. Clemenceau, retreat back."
"Boldly penetrate into Island No. 6 from the side."
"We are heading towards the northwest entrance of the sea area. They like to surround us, so we will use our speed to counter-encircle them."
"Increase the depth of the fleet."
"As long as we can contain their actions, the initiative will be in our hands."
"Remember, we won't initiate a fight. We'll only launch a diversionary bombing!"
As soon as the order was given, several warships started moving quickly.
Although the J-League could encircle and attack his fleet, his fleet was always faster than the other side.
The initiative in the battle is in his hands, so he can rely on the speed to slowly tear open their gap.
As long as he ensures the safety of the aircraft carrier, he will be invincible.
It was four o'clock, and one hour had passed since Shimakaze finished laying the mines.
It was also at this time that some of the warships in the fleet chasing Shimakaze finally suffered.
Continuous explosions were heard from the J-United warships; their bottom was leaking.
"Admiral! That heavy cruiser girl laid mines!"
A light cruiser girl felt the heavy damage to her ship and spoke to her admiral with tears in her eyes.
"Slow down quickly and let other shipgirls come over to replace you. You should withdraw from the battlefield and go back for repairs."
"Ok!"
Needless to say, the other ship girls in his fleet surrounded the flagship as soon as they saw the damage.
But this will only lead to one result.
boom! boom! boom
Considering the huge size of the sea area and the power of the dense minefield, he had the mines deployed by Shimakaze be relatively scattered.
Eliminating the enemy is secondary; the most important thing is to delay their pursuit, reduce their speed and the efficiency of their actions.
After all, even if they bomb Lexington, it will take time.
As expected, the other warships of the J-United Commander were attacked by underwater mines and dared not move at all.
I was afraid that if I continued to move forward, the ship would sink.
At the same time, there were several other admirals who encountered the same situation as him. As many as 30 warships were damaged and they temporarily lost their combat capability.
But most of the minefields have also been explored.
In addition, there were also ships that were bombed by Lexington and her men during this period and were hit by Shimakaze torpedoes.
Only 111 ships were left in pursuit.
The J-Union's warship losses have reached nearly half.
The only one left was the J-Union admiral, who was becoming more and more annoyed as he watched the number of warships around him decrease.
"Brother Lin, if we continue to chase like this, there's no telling when it will end. The enemy has bombers, but they can't deal with the aircraft carrier. It will be in vain no matter how long we chase them."
"Yes, Brother Lin, although we lost a lot of warships due to mines, we haven't been eliminated yet. Most of the eliminations were caused by bombers."
How could Songlin not know what the J-United Commanders said?
But now he felt a sense of powerlessness.
I can’t catch up, I can’t hit, I don’t even know where the enemy is. It’s so frustrating, so frustrating.
No matter how powerful his warships are, if he can't find the enemy and the enemy is unwilling to fight him, he can't do anything about it.
But now seeing the anxious looks of the other admirals, he could only obey their ideas.
"Let the faster warships continue to chase the heavy cruiser, and the other warships search in the direction of the carrier-based aircraft. Slow down a bit and watch out for mines."
"Understood! Brother Lin."
They obviously have more admirals, more warships, stronger combat power and greater advantages, but now they can only be led by the nose.
He couldn't understand why the situation suddenly turned out like this. They had a clear advantage but now they were helpless.
In fact, when the first fleet could not catch up with Shimakaze, he had already thought about whether to withdraw to the position of Island No. 6, or attack other admirals and islands.
But in the end he rejected the idea.
The team will be scattered if they lead it this way, and the danger of attacking other admirals will only be higher.
The worst case scenario is that you will be attacked from both sides, not only facing attacks from other admirals, but also possible bombing from Vian.
So he had only one choice, to keep chasing.
5 points.
Shimakaze is still on the run, the J-League is still chasing him, and the planes in the sky are still flying.
In the dim sky, and on the calm sea, there were already dozens of warships parked with smoke.
When the admirals of other joint departments woke up, they found that something major seemed to have happened.
Previously, there were many powerful warships docked at the J-Union, but now many of them have become damaged versions.
6 points.
The battle on the sea attracted the attention of the admiral and the ship girls. The miserable appearance of the J-Union made them shudder.
Even the admirals of the G-Unit, who were mainly stationed on Island No. 4 and were relatively close, joined in the melee and began to attack the J-Unit when they caught it in trouble.
At this time, there were less than 40 warships of the J-League that could still operate.
In two to three hours they can only move 60 to 90 nautical miles at best.
The slowest speed that Wei'an can move is over 100 to 120 nautical miles, not to mention that Xuefeng and the others will be even faster.
During the pursuit, most of the J-League's warships were dismembered one by one by Lexington and Saratoga.
At the same time, Xuefeng, Shimakaze, and Kokang will infiltrate back to the vicinity of the J-League fleet, giving them some hope.
Seeing that the battle situation was gradually gaining the upper hand, Vian asked Clemenceau and Yixian to move with Lexington and the others.
Leave the front battlefield to Xuefeng and the others.
There are bombs in the sky and torpedoes in the water.
Songlin now looked a little bitter.
