No matter how thick your armor is, can it withstand the life-and-death attack of numerous warships?
As long as they can delay Wei'an here, they won't lose anything.
At least they can get a lot of resources.
Moreover, they deliberately divided the team into two parts. Wei'an would take care of the destroyers in the back who were going to pick up the airdropped ones, so the air defense pressure in the front would be much less.
To target the rear, the fleet in front of them would break through the battleship's defense and drive straight into the rear of the Big Devil's fleet to destroy his aircraft carriers.
So what Wei An saw was that the fleet, which had previously had no intention of fighting, suddenly changed.
Because their fleet is not as long-range as the J-League, their command and fleet operations are very fast.
In just a few minutes, the fleet was divided into two parts.
Looking at the airdrop approaching from the sky, Vian certainly knew what they were planning.
"Commander, what should we do now? Shimakaze and the others can't come over for the time being, so we need to go to other islands to get airdrops."
Lexington asked, somewhat worriedly.
After the previous battle, the ship girls under his command finally understood why Vian attached so much importance to destroyers and aircraft carriers.
The effect of 1+1 is already much greater than 2.
The space and time that just a few destroyers can create for an aircraft carrier is already of great significance.
But as Vian's ship girls, they also know that Clemenceau does not have as fast a speed as Yukikaze and the others, and her only means of attack is the main gun.
Therefore, Lexington and Saratoga now have only small question marks in their minds about the effectiveness of having Clemenceau cooperate with the aircraft carrier.
Moreover, like the J League, the G League only has 84 warships, but they also have aircraft carriers.
And there are three more.
Count Zeppelin,
Europa,
Weser River.
All three ships are very rare, and they are all under the name of the same admiral, which is really lucky.
Wei An felt a little jealous when he saw it.
Therefore, when facing the Wei'an aircraft carrier, they were not as bad as the J-League.
More importantly, the admiral of the G-United Forces is also very courageous.
After seeing the miserable state of the J-League, he even asked his ship girl to sink all the few bombers and replace them with fighter planes.
It is to relieve the air defense pressure of the G League.
The three aircraft carriers have a total of 115 fighter jets that can take off. Even if Vian's carrier-based aircraft are stronger, they can hinder the attack of Vian's aircraft carrier to a certain extent by exchanging injuries for injuries.
After all, there are only 30 fighter jets in Lexington's hangar, and the rest are bombers.
The Saratoga was even more extreme, being filled with bombers.
When they have almost replaced all of Lexington's fighter planes, it will be the G-League surface fleet's chance.
Listening to Lexington's report about the enemy aircraft carrier, Vian fell silent for a while.
Then look at the location of the island and the positions of your other ship girls.
"Madam, you have to trust Clemenceau and Yixian. Their fighting ability is not weak."
"And who said I was going to use them like destroyers? They are all capital ships."
After all, when driving them out of Island No. 4, Clemenceau and her crew did not go too fast, which gave them a little illusion.
So now Clemenceau is more than 20 nautical miles away from the G-League fleet, and the aircraft carrier fleet is 20 nautical miles behind Clemenceau and her team.
Escorted by Shropshire.
"Madam, take off with the bombers and fighters to seize air superiority. Don't interfere with Clemenceau's battle. Since the other party wants to exchange planes with me, let's see who can spawn faster."
"Jia Jia, keep an eye on the destroyers heading to the island. Since their goal is to drop airdrops, blowing up these destroyers first can also distract their attention."
“Reduce the pressure on Clemenceau and Yat-sen.”
"Clemenceau and Yixian can open fire and fight now. There is no need to make a detour. Just contain the artillery fire."
"We'll beat whoever catches up with us. Let's see who can run away faster or Clemenceau can fight faster!"
Chapter 213 Clemenceau: Watch carefully! This is my battle!
And the G League has to face not only Clemenceau, but also Yixian.
"understand!"
Lexington replied.
Why did Wei An let Xuefeng and the others make a detour? Wasn't it because the main guns were not strong enough? Did the J-Union have more battleships and battlecruisers?
But things are different now. Although the G League also has battleships, their speed is really slow. If they exchange wounds for wounds, the destroyers will arrive first.
Clemenceau and Yixian still have many advantages.
And they also have fire control radar.
Different warships have different divisions of labor, and this battle is very important for Clemenceau and Yixian.
It is also difficult to test their ability to withstand pressure and their combat effectiveness under extreme circumstances when facing other opponents.
Shimakaze and her team have already delivered a perfect answer on the frigate, so now it's time for Clemenceau and her team to answer.
Part of the reason why Wei An made this decision was that he had taken advantage of this period of time to search most of the sea area again.
There are not many admirals left. After dealing with the admirals from the G-United Forces, he will soon pass this assessment.
With an aircraft carrier and several destroyers, there will be no problem.
Why not take this opportunity to train yourself as a ship girl?
In particular, Vian noticed some things that happened in this battle.
The training levels of Yukikaze, Shimakaze, Courageous, Lexington, and even Saratoga have been improved.
The one with the biggest improvement is Lexington, which directly increases its training level by 35.
Next is Shimakaze which increased by 25, Kogan by 11, Yukikaze by 7, and Saratoga by 1.
This is quite important for Clemenceau and the others.
At level 1, it was possible to fire at the Shropshire at a distance of 14 nautical miles. Although it was the Shropshire that received the attack better, it also showed the Clemenceau's long-range hit rate.
So when Clemenceau's training level reaches 110, will her hit rate and attack range increase?
The answer is yes.
Therefore, this battle without any life-threatening danger is very important to Clemenceau and the others.
Now that Lexington's training level has been improved, it also means that the number of carrier-based aircraft she can take off at the same time in this battle has increased by 17 to 127.
The mental limit also becomes 82700 tons.
Clemenceau, who received the accurate order, also became excited. In this assessment, other later ship girls have already shown their skills. She is Vian's second ship girl.
She also wanted to contribute her own strength to the admiral, and now the time has come.
She will use this powerful battleship to destroy all enemies under the admiral's command and let the world know.
Richelieu is not the only powerful battleship from Country F!
As a younger sister, she also wants to become stronger than her elder sister.
Yixian, who was sailing beside her, was now feeling indescribably excited and nervous. She finally had such powerful firepower. Everything was over, and now she would start her new life.
And this battle will announce her arrival!
The power systems of the two warships were fully utilized, and the entire warship roared.
After all, the current distance is still 20 nautical miles, and Clemenceau’s farthest hit distance is still 14 nautical miles.
However, with radar detection, their advantages have become extremely obvious.
"Yixian, please hinder their voyage for a while, and leave the main attack to me!"
Clemenceau straightened his military cap, held his head high, and spoke confidently and proudly.
The dark blue skirt swayed in the sea breeze.
"understand!"
20 nautical miles, 18 nautical miles, 16 nautical mile.
Clemenceau, who had completed the observation and calibrated the missile several times, took a deep breath.
The next second his eyes were filled with determination.
"volley!"
The cannons on the huge battleship erupted with flames, and shells fell towards the location of the G League.
On the other side, watching Clemenceau's bombardment, Yixian also launched an artillery attack on the fleet in the target sea area.
But Clemenceau ignored the shells that had already been fired, and immediately began to generate and load ammunition in preparation for the next launch.
How far is 16 nautical miles?
After Clemenceau and his men finished their bombardment, it took the shells half a minute to reach the target area.
But while the shells were still flying, Clemenceau and Yixian had already completed loading and immediately launched the next round of artillery fire.
The attack of the two warships had not yet been discovered by the G-League fleet far away on the opposite side.
But the next second.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!
When the fleet of 61 ships was sailing on the sea, Clemenceau and her team had the assistance of fire control radar, and the difficulty of hitting was not comparable to that of the original attack targeting Shropshire.
As expected, Clemenceau and Yixian’s first round of bombardment hit the target!
And 21 shells actually hit 3 warships!
This artillery bombardment beyond the normal distance gave the admirals of the G League a big "surprise".
What's more fortunate is that two of the battleships are destroyers and one is a cruiser.
The power of the large main gun was revealed at this moment. The explosion of the large main gun shells after penetration directly opened a big hole in the three warships.
Seawater began to flow back.
The three warships were hit and leaked, and their speed was forced to slow down.
"Where did the shells come from!"
"Damage control! Damage control!"
"The battleship is taking on water! It's taking on water!"
The other warships near the three warships were even more anxious and noisy than them.
The destroyer sailing in the front was still looking at the sea, and she didn't see the warship at all.
So where did this shell come from?
And there are no carrier-based aircraft in the sky.
But Huhe, which had carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, had already received the news.
The artillery fire beyond the visual range was actually caused by the enemy's two warships.
It was exactly as he expected.
Good news: they are no longer being held back by destroyers.
The bad news: the enemy's artillery can fire far and accurately, but they still can't hit it.
Compared to Yukikaze and her crew, who still have to rely on the assistance of aircraft carrier bombing, Clemenceau and her crew can complete long-range attacks on their own. Moreover, the use of artillery shells is faster than torpedoes, has a higher hit rate, and can be loaded faster.
But while he was stunned by the news, the next round of shelling arrived as expected.
Although the hit rate may not be as good as that of the aircraft carrier's close-range bombing, and the burst attack power is not as good as that of the bomber, but as long as it hits and penetrates, the 381mm main gun will let them see the power of the cannon.
