Daily life with the ship girl

"Don't attack yet, they might be friendly forces." Bai Xue watched as the deep-sea fleet was almost completely sunk by the sudden carrier-based aircraft, and the remaining deep-sea fleet was also damaged. She ordered:

"Deal with the remaining deep sea first!"

"Understood!" Fuso raised her hands slightly and adjusted the muzzles of the guns on both sides. Although she was a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, she was more of a warrior on the battlefield. At this moment, she held her breath and concentrated, and her usual gentleness turned into a cold and stern look. With a wave of her hand, a [J country 35.6 cm twin-mounted gun] was aimed at the deep-sea flagship. The main gun emitted a dazzling flame, and the shells whistled out:

"call out!"

"Boom!" This deep-sea flagship had already been hit. It was a deep-sea battleship. At this moment, the Fuso was directly hit by the main gun and immediately silenced.

Immediately afterwards, torpedoes from Bai Xue and four other destroyers hit the deep-sea battleship, which was the biggest threat on the battlefield, and sank it in one fell swoop!

"How awesome!" Firefly, who came from afar, happened to see this scene. Not to be outdone, she fired three salvos of [quintuple 533mm torpedoes] and sank a deep-sea light cruiser that was in a damaged state.

Chu Xue was a little surprised when she saw her prey being snatched away, and looked at the person who came.

"You must be the ship girls of the Thunder Naval Base, you're so awesome!" Firefly stopped in the distance and shouted to Hatsuyuki.

"Who are you?" Chuxue was a little confused. She said to the flagship Baixue:

"Shirayuki-chan, there seems to be a blonde destroyer here to help."

Bai Xue was also a little confused about the firefly's purpose, so she turned to Fuso and asked:

"Sister Fuso, what should we do?"

Fuso put away the main gun. She found that the battlefield was temporarily safe, and she regained her gentle look and said:

"The other party should be the fleet members that the aircraft carrier sent carrier-based aircraft to support just now. We can't be rude."

Bai Xue nodded and ordered:

"Everyone, prepare your ships and form a double formation. We will go to greet them."

Chapter 16: Joint operations begin!

"Hello, I am Bai Xue, the flagship of the second fleet of the Thunder Garrison." Bai Xue stopped not far from the firefly. She looked at the blonde destroyer. There seemed to be a circle of fireflies around it. It should be the opponent's lighting ship. She asked:

"Excuse me, what was the carrier-based aircraft just now...?"

Firefly looked at Shirayuki and the other shipgirls lined up neatly behind her. She was not at all nervous. She said:

"My name is Firefly. That was Sister Lexington's carrier-based aircraft. Sister and the others will be here soon."

"Lexington?" A trace of doubt flashed across Fusang's gentle face, and she asked softly:

"Is it Lexington from the First Shipgirl Academy?"

"Yes." Firefly nodded.

"But, I heard that she doesn't have an admiral?" Atago asked curiously, and she hesitated for a moment:

"Wait, your name is Firefly? Which tutelary fort are you from? Why did you come here in a storm? Your training level is so low, how can your admiral trust you to go on an expedition in heavy rain?"

Firefly was stumped by Atago's question. She pouted and thought for a moment:

"I don't know either, but Firefly just needs to obey the admiral's orders. After all, it was the admiral who woke me up from my slumber, so his words must be right."

The Second Fleet and others of the Thunder Garrison looked at each other and looked at Firefly in surprise. The ship outfit she was wearing was completely different from the Japanese and German ones. She should be a British or American ship girl.

"Shirayuki-chan, there are three targets approaching us." Atago discovered some signals through the [Standard Air Defense Radar].

Firefly heard what Atago said, and saw that the older sister's ship had a radar installed. She had a flash of envy in her eyes, but she looked at the fully armed Shirayuki and the others and said quickly:

"It should be Sister Lexington and the others."

A moment later, Lexington, Bismarck and Pinghai appeared on the sea in the distance, rapidly approaching the Second Fleet of the Leiming Garrison.

"Fuso?" Lexington rushed to Firefly and saw the Fuso of the Second Fleet of the Thunder Garrison. She sounded a little surprised:

"Great, with you here we will be able to counterattack."

"What counterattack?" Fuso looked at Lexington. Although the United States and Japan were mortal enemies in history, as ship girls, their only enemy was the deep sea, so she nodded gently and asked.

"There are six deep-sea fleets behind us heading in this direction, and the other side has two regular aircraft carriers!" Lexington didn't have much time to exchange pleasantries. She estimated that it was already evening, and she would lose her combat capability soon. After all, aircraft carriers could not fight at night. She could only send as many carrier-based aircraft as possible to conduct reconnaissance. She said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid the enemy's target is the Thunder Guard House!"

Atago was clearly puzzled, but as the flagship, Shirayuki immediately said to Hatsuyuki when she heard that the Deep Sea Fleet's target might be her tutelary fort:

"Hatsuyuki-chan, please return to the port immediately to inform the admiral to send a fleet to support us. Just say that the deep sea in the western waters has been dispatched in advance."

Upon hearing this, Hatsuyuki looked at Fuso, who nodded. She said softly:

"Shirayuki-chan is right. Regardless of whether Deep Sea's target is the tutelary fort or not, we must get the admiral ready. We just went through a battle and we need support."

Seeing that Fuso, the most mature and independent-minded sister in the fleet, said so, Hatsuyuki no longer hesitated, activated the ship's propulsion device under her feet, and began to rush towards the Thunder Naval Base.

Bismarck looked at the other side's flagship, which was a destroyer but was efficient. She said admiringly:

“These kids are good.”

The two little Z21 and Z22 behind the Fuso heard the voice and felt it was familiar. They came forward and saw the German big sister and exclaimed:

"Sister Bismarck."

Bismarck was stunned for a moment. She saw that everyone was looking at her. She looked in the direction where her name was called and found the two little ones. She smiled:

"Z21, Z22, hello."

"Bismarck?" Atago showed a shocked expression, and she asked in disbelief:

"Are you the flagship killer Bismarck?"

Bismarck smiled and shook his head:

"No, I haven't awakened yet. The admiral just awakened me not long ago. My current training level is still very low, even lower than Z21 and Z22."

"That's also a battleship." Snow White showed a shocked expression and said:

"When Sister Fuso first arrived, she was able to defeat a full-strength deep-sea destroyer squadron on her own at level 1. I'm sure Sister Fuso must be very powerful."

Bismarck did not comment, but she knew that now was not the time for small talk, so she said:

"Shirayuki, you are the flagship, right? When we came here, Lexington discovered something."

Lexington took over the conversation:

"Hello, Bai Xue, I am the ship girl of Admiral Li Ran. This time we were planning to launch a surprise attack on a port of the Deep Sea Fleet, but we didn't expect that the other party had already taken precautions. According to the intelligence gathered by my carrier-based aircraft children, the other party will be beyond the maximum range of our sea area in about 15 minutes. Please be prepared to fight back."

Bai Xue looked anxious when she heard this. It was her first time as the flagship and she encountered such an emergency, so she was a little flustered.

Fuso knew how helpless Bai Xue felt at the moment, and her soft voice came:

"As for the specific battle plan, could you please wait a moment? I will discuss it with Shirayuki-chan."

"Of course." Lexington nodded slightly, she touched the firefly's head and said:

"You completed this mission very well."

Firefly rubbed it comfortably, but she glanced at Bismarck and saw that the elder sister had a stern face. She also understood that now was not the time to act coquettishly, so she said seriously:

"Firefly went to escort my sister."

Ping Hai frowned. She had been paying attention to the back. The other side had two regular aircraft carriers. She looked at her own team. She only had one light cruiser. The air defense pressure was very high. She felt a little stressed, but she thought of her sister Ning Hai and calmed down.

"If it was my sister, she would definitely stay calm in this situation. Well, Ping Hai would definitely be able to do it too!"

……

Fuso and Shirayuki told each other their opinions. As the flagship, Shirayuki took note of them carefully. She did not feel that her position as the flagship was challenged. She had never thought of being the flagship, but the admiral insisted on her being the flagship, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet. However, Fuso's words made her understand what she had to do. She bowed and said:

"Shirayuki has learned from Sister Fuso's words."

Fusang helped her up, sighed, and said in a doting tone:

"Of all you kids, Shirayuki is the most mature. You must believe that you are the best flagship."

"Yeah." Bai Xue was touched. She took a deep breath.

"Then I'll go over and talk to Lexington."

Fuso nodded. Atago, who was standing by, had been observing the radar. She watched Shirayuki walk away, then asked:

"Fuso, do we really want to join forces with them? It will be dark in two hours. I'm afraid that we will have to protect Lexington, which has lost its combat capability, at night. I'm afraid our combat pressure will increase."

Fuso sighed. The face of this Yamato Nadeshiko with amazing breasts was full of sorrow at the moment. She said:

"Atago, I know you're worried, but joint operations are our only way to fight against the Deep Sea. You don't want us to escape to the tutelary fort and bring the Deep Sea back with us, right? That would be very troublesome for the Admiral. Don't worry, the Admiral is safe with the Yamashiro in the tutelary fort."

"But..." Atago wanted to say something.

Fusang shook his head slightly and said:

"Our common enemy is the deep sea."

Atago sighed, she stopped talking and continued to sense her radar. Suddenly her face changed and she yelled:

"The enemy's flight formation is approaching us, everyone be careful!"

Lexington had just finished discussing with Shirayuki when she heard the call from the Atago. She was startled and sent out her carrier-based aircraft. As expected, her carrier-based aircraft children encountered the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft that were sneaking in quietly at an altitude of 40 nautical miles in the distance. Her face became serious:

"It is still 40 nautical miles away from us. It is expected to arrive in our waters in 10 minutes. Everyone, be prepared to meet it!"

Bai Xue glanced at Lexington, and the two looked at each other and shouted in unison:

"Joint operations begin!"

"Understood!" Seeing that their flagships had spoken, the others began to calibrate the orbits of their main guns and adjust their secondary guns. The destroyers began to check their torpedo launchers. Soon, they could hear the fierce exchange of fire between fighters and bombers in the dark clouds.

"Ping Hai, the air defense of the team is now in your hands. You are responsible for reporting the location of the aerial bombs and notifying Bismarck and Fuso as soon as possible. Atago, you use the radar to cooperate with Ping Hai's work."

"I understand!" Although Pinghai was very nervous, she calmed down when she thought of her sister Ninghai. She was full of fighting spirit and became the energetic girl again.

Atago looked at Ping Hai, she glided to her side and said:

"I will be responsible for detecting the position of the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft. You can use the aircraft guns to interfere with them. Is that okay?"

Ping Hai nodded and began to adjust his ship equipment.

The battle began, and a few minutes passed in a flash. Now the combined fleet could hear the roar of deep-sea carrier-based aircraft and see the deep-sea fleet appearing on the sea in the distance. The opponent was moving very fast.

"Lexington, we can't stay here too long, it's too empty here." Bismarck also discovered the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft hovering in the sky, but she was more concerned about the large-scale fleet coming from behind. Six deep-sea fleets, that is, 36 deep-sea ships. The enemy is huge in scale, and the sea where they are located has no reefs or islands as cover, so they will suffer a great loss. She hurriedly asked Fuso:

"Fusang, do you know where there are small islands and reefs nearby?"

Fusang heard Bismarck's question and understood what she meant. She said:

"Everyone follow me. There is a small island reef to our south that can provide us with cover."

"Sister Fuso is right, Lexington, let's retreat first."

Lexington felt bad that her carrier-based aircraft was shot down, but this was not the time to think about it, so she nodded:

"Everyone follow Fuso, retreat first, destroyers provide cover, light cruisers and heavy cruisers guard both sides, and advance in formation!"

Everyone agreed and began to change their formation, then slowly retreated towards the small island reef that Fuso mentioned.

Chapter 17: After the rain comes the sun

When they arrived at the islands and reefs that Fuso mentioned, Lexington's face looked obviously not very good.

"Sister Lexington?" Pinghai was a little worried. As a light cruiser, she had been paying close attention to the movements of carrier-based aircraft. With the cooperation of Atago's radar, she could feel that many of Lexington's carrier-based aircraft had been shot down. However, the losses of deep-sea carrier-based aircraft were also huge, which eased the air defense pressure of the Combined Fleet.

"It's okay, the children are ready to return home, everyone get ready for battle." Lexington forced a smile at Pinghai, signaling her not to say more.

Atago looked at Lexington and wanted to say something to comfort him, but she saw several artillery shells roaring in her direction. She roared:

"Enemy artillery fire is coming, everyone please evade!"

Bismarck and Fuso looked at each other. As battleships, they rushed out of the island reef without fear.

"Be prepared for the wrath!" Bismarck raised her hands slightly, and the ship-mounted main gun behind her [G country's twin 380mm gun] roared, spraying a beam of hot flames towards the most conspicuous aircraft carrier in the deep-sea fleet that had appeared in her range, and the shells whizzed out.

Fuso still had a gentle expression, as if she would never get angry, but her eyes became sharp at this moment, and the ship-mounted main gun behind her [J country 35.6 cm twin-mounted gun] was aimed at another aircraft carrier of the deep-sea fleet.

The two men had surprisingly consistent ideas, which was to eliminate the deep-sea aviation threat first. There were still two hours before nightfall, and the deep-sea aircraft carriers that were still able to fight were a huge threat to the current Combined Fleet.

However, what surprised Bismarck and Fuso was the reaction of the deep-sea ship girls. Even though they were dozens of miles apart, they could already feel the cold gazes from the two deep-sea aircraft carriers. Their artillery fire was blocked by the deep-sea heavy cruisers responsible for covering the deep-sea aircraft carriers. However, the firepower of the battleship was too terrifying. The two heavy cruisers that blocked the artillery fire for the deep-sea aircraft carriers were immediately engulfed in flames, causing a huge explosion.

"Damn it!" Bismarck clenched her fists and said to Fuso:

"I didn't expect the deep sea to be so fearless!"

Fusang's gentle expression finally turned cold, and she said:
