Daily life with the ship girl

However, Firefly's torpedoes were faster than hers. Five deadly white air waves passed in front of her, and then she saw a hole in the encirclement of deep-sea light cruisers around Quincy.

Just as Blücher was about to see who had fired the torpedo, a shell from a deep-sea heavy cruiser hit her directly.

"Don't be dazed, Blücher!" Gu Ying saw Quincy escape from the encirclement, but watched Blücher being hit. She was very anxious and fired the main gun on her side. The shells hit the deep-sea heavy cruiser, preventing the opponent from causing secondary damage to Blücher.

"Damn it!" Blücher groaned in pain. This shot almost broke her. Fortunately, the heavy cruiser's armor was not weak. However, she was angry. This time she did not use the ship's spear, but chose to open fire directly.

The heavy cruiser was hit by a shot from Furutaka and then hit by a shot from Blücher, sinking it directly.

"Sisters, how are you?" Gu Ying looked at the team members who were more or less injured, but it was not serious, especially Quincy, who was surrounded but didn't even have a scratch. She looked at the reunited team and said:

"Everyone, change the formation to a wheel formation. Juno, Isuzu, Kitakami, the flanks of the formation are left to you. Blücher is seriously injured in the formation. Stupid Quincy, you cover the rear."

"I'm not an idiot, you annoying Gu Ying!" Quincy protested weakly, but seeing that everyone had serious faces, she obediently stood at the back of the formation.

Seeing that all the members were intact, Gu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As she watched Quincy walk away, she remembered that the torpedo just now seemed to be not from a light cruiser, but from a destroyer. She asked Blücher:

"Did you see who came to the rescue?"

"They are coming, look!" Blucher felt a little distressed about her slightly deformed ship suit. She glanced behind her and found two figures approaching. She said quickly:

"It should be the little blonde girl who helped."

Firefly and Pinghai looked at the wheel formation formed by Gu Ying and others, and they rushed forward quickly, sank the sporadic deep-sea destroyers blocking their way, and joined them.

"Thank you so much for what happened just now, otherwise that stupid Quincy would be in danger." Gu Ying watched Firefly and Pinghai coming over, fired cannons to clear the obstacles for them, then went up to them and thanked them immediately.

"You're welcome. It's all thanks to the fireflies." Pinghai pulled the firefly waving the magic wand in front of him.

"Quincy, come here." Gu Ying looked at Quincy, who still felt nothing, unhappily and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Quincy heard Gu Ying's call and hurried over.

"They saved you, why don't you thank them quickly?" Blücher had a headache, and she said unhappily.

"You're welcome, I'm glad you're okay, little sister." Firefly looked at Quincy and said hello:

"Miss, you haven't told me your name yet."

Quincy's eyes widened. She hesitated for a few seconds and said with lingering fear:

"It's you, Firefly. Thank you for saving me. Quincy was scared to death just now."

"Let's talk later. Look, we are surrounded again." Pinghai has been observing the enemy situation around her. This is a battlefield. As a girl who aspires to become the strongest frigate, she interrupted everyone's chat.

When Gu Ying and others heard Ping Hai's words, they were curious about the identity of the girl dressed in Chinese cheongsam, but they also knew that they were on the battlefield, so they nodded.

Everyone returned to their posts.

Pinghai and Firefly were responsible for strengthening the protection of the two wings of the wheel formation.

Gu Ying saw Ping Hai and Firefly helping, and she said:

"With your help, we will be able to break through the siege of the deep sea. Everyone, keep your formation and don't get dispersed. We must quickly support Bai Xue and her Thunderous Third Fleet."

"Understood." Everyone agreed, adjusted their ship equipment, and began to approach the inner circle battlefield in the direction of Lei Ming's Third Fleet.

Chapter 24: Repel the Enemy

At the third battlefield where the Third Fleet of the Thunder Garrison was located, this team of six destroyers was in a tough battle. As the flagship, Shirayuki saw that Hatsuyuki, Z21, Z22, and Miyuki were all hit. She couldn't help but be a little dazed. Was the whole army going to be wiped out here today?

"Boom!" A cannonball hit Bai Xue's side, stirring up a huge column of water. She looked at the deep-sea ship girl who fired the cannon. She was wearing heavy ship uniforms and her eyes were full of murderous intent. She became even more desperate. This was a deep-sea battleship!

Miyuki looked at her sister in a daze and quickly shouted, "Sister Bai Xue, be careful behind you!"

Bai Xue subconsciously looked behind her and saw a deep-sea cruiser pointing its gun barrel at her. She was stunned as she saw the fire flickering in the gun barrel. She muttered to herself:

Admiral, I'm afraid that Bai Xue...

"Shirayuki-chan, now is not the time to be dazed!" Furutaka shot the deep-sea heavy cruiser that was trying to aim at Shirayuki and broke it into pieces, then grinned at her.

"Sister Gu Ying!" Bai Xue was extremely surprised. She felt that she had indeed failed in her duty. She quickly came to her senses and thought to herself:

The admiral has entrusted the Third Fleet to me with confidence. I am the flagship!

Bai Xue took a deep breath and ordered: "Everyone, get back into formation, and prepare for a torpedo salvo!"

Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief, while Hatsuyuki shouted in surprise:

"Look everyone, it's the sisters from Kanmusu Academy!"

That’s right, the reinforcements were led by Gu Ying, and Ping Hai and Firefly were also among them.

Firefly had used up all her torpedoes. She looked at the deep-sea battleship in the distance that was showing off its might and making her own side dodge in embarrassment, and said:

"That most ferocious fellow, if only I had a torpedo, I would sink you first!"

Firefly's words immediately made Bai Xue understand her responsibilities. Seeing Gu Ying and others consciously acting as guards for her and others, she was deeply moved. Everyone's kindness and trust made her understand what she should do:

"Everyone, listen up! Fire a salvo of torpedoes, target the deep-sea battleship!"

"understand!"

When the destroyers of the Thunderous Third Fleet saw that it was the older sisters who were responsible for protecting them, they immediately regained their fighting spirit.

Pinghai looked at Baixue without blinking. She felt a little envious and thought that it would be great if she could become the flagship one day.

However, Pinghai immediately regained his fighting spirit and said silently in his heart:

Pinghai, even if you can't be the flagship, you must become the strongest frigate, and you must be as strong as Sister Ninghai! Definitely!

……

The addition of Gu Ying and others alleviated the predicament of the Lei Ming Third Fleet. By the time Shan Cheng and others arrived, the deep sea siege was finally torn open and everyone successfully reunited.

However, the Deep Sea Fleet did not give up the idea of ​​attacking.

Because they had no help from the aircraft carrier, the ship girls were troubled by the carrier-based aircraft of the deep-sea aircraft carrier and gradually lost the upper hand.

"Sister Shancheng, what should we do?" Bai Xue was a little anxious. She saw that Shenhai's attack was becoming more and more fierce and many sisters were injured, so she asked hurriedly.

Shancheng had been paying attention to the back of the Deep Sea Fleet. Finally, she saw the [Zero Seaplane] appear. She said:

"Sister Fuso is finally here. Bai Xue, notify everyone to retreat slowly and make sure to maintain the rotation formation."

"Sister Fuso?" Bai Xue was a little surprised. She followed Yamashiro's gaze and saw a familiar reconnaissance plane flying over the Deep Sea Fleet. She understood that it must be Sister Kako who came, and immediately took the order to notify everyone.

Behind the Deep Sea Fleet was the Second Fleet of the Thunder Garrison, with its flagship Fuso, which had taken a detour.

At this time, they took advantage of the fact that the deep-sea fleet was attracted by their own firepower and finally took action.

"boom!"

A regular deep-sea aircraft carrier was launching deep-sea carrier-based aircraft, but at this time, Fuso fired six guns at the same time and directly sank the deep-sea aircraft carrier.

It caused a commotion in the deep-sea fleet.

The counterattack of the ship girls finally began with Fuso's shot!

Ping Hai had been busy with Juno in charge of the air defense on the left side of the rotating formation. She was the first to notice the decrease in the number of carrier-based aircraft. She said in surprise:

"Juno, have you noticed that the number of carrier-based aircraft has decreased?"

Juno's cat ears moved. She was more fully equipped than Pinghai. She checked with the [Standard Anti-Aircraft Radar] and found that the number of flying units had been greatly reduced. She nodded:

"I'll notify the flagship right away."

Gu Ying received Juno's report and nodded to indicate that she understood. Then she saw Bai Xue running towards her with a look of surprise on her face:

"Sister Gu Ying, Sister Fuso, go around the rear of the Deep Sea Fleet. It's time for us to counterattack!"

"Sister Fuso is here too, that's great." Gu Ying heard Bai Xue's words and quickly said to everyone:

"Everyone, prepare for a counterattack!"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded, and the team's morale was greatly boosted.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The battlefield was filled with the sound of artillery fire. As evening approached, the battle was finally coming to an end. The deep-sea fleet was ambushed from behind by Fuso and others. One of the three deep-sea aircraft carriers sank, one was damaged, and one was severely damaged. Seeing the bad situation, the deep-sea fleet began to retreat under the command of the remaining two deep-sea battleships.

The ship girls also suffered heavy losses. Each of them carried more or less weapons on them. Many of them were damaged, but no one was seriously injured.

Watching the remaining deep sea retreating away, the ship girls had no intention of pursuing them.

"It's getting late. Don't chase anymore. Otherwise, we'll fall into an ambush in the deep sea and it won't be worth it." Fuso breathed a sigh of relief, and she shouted to everyone who wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue.

When the ship girls heard Fuso's words and looked at the dim sky, they realized that after a whole afternoon of fierce fighting, everyone's ammunition and fuel were severely depleted, especially the destroyers. Although night fighting was their strong point, each of them had now used up the torpedoes they carried. Without torpedoes, it would be extremely unwise for the destroyers to engage in night battles.

After the battle, Ping Hai and Firefly gathered together, the six people from the Kanmusu Academy came over, and the three fleets of the Leiming Garrison began to form a team.

After a while, everyone found an island reef that could provide a place to stay. Fuso and Yamashiro were worried that the deep-sea fleet would come back again, so they planned to spend a night on the island reef. They talked about these things with others, and they agreed.

Pinghai and Firefly looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Pinghai saw Fuso looking at her expectantly, while Firefly was somewhat moved by Quincy's words. After thinking it over again and again, they felt that the task assigned to them by the admiral had not been completed yet. She had not yet told Fuso the purpose of this trip when these things happened, so she had no choice but to agree to stay.

The ship girls reached a consensus that Juno and Kako would be responsible for patrolling and keeping watch in the waters near the islands and reefs.

Everyone went ashore and began to light a bonfire and prepare food.

Pinghai looked at the island curiously. It was covered with lush vegetation, but there were traces of shelling along the coast. She asked Baixue, who was busy taking care of Miyuki,

"Shirayuki, does this island have a name?"

Bai Xue helped Shen Xue bandage her wound. She felt a little depressed when she heard Ping Hai's question:

"Ping Hai, this island is called the Weeping Reef. Admiral Lei Ming's ship, the Centipede, was sunk by the deep sea near this island."

"I'm sorry." Pinghai apologized quickly.

"It's okay, but sister Centipede loved this island reef the most when she was alive, and sister Fuso must miss her too." Bai Xue sighed, looking at Fuso who was staring at the sea in a daze with some concern.

"Shirayuki, she must be a great person." Firefly heard what Pinghai said. She felt the atmosphere was a little heavy, so she pretended to be an adult and said in a condescending manner, "Well, she must be as great as Firefly."

Shirayuki and Pinghai were amused.

Pinghai touched Firefly's golden curly hair. She and Li Ran learned this action. She laughed and scolded:

"Don't be ridiculous. The hundred-eyed giant that Bai Xue mentioned is actually a light aircraft carrier."

"Hey?" Firefly pouted, "Well, actually, Sister Snow White and Sister Hundred-eyed Giant should be watching us there."

The firefly said, drew a circle with the magic wand in his hand, then pointed at the stars in the sky and said:

"Right there, she must be happy that everyone remembers her!"

Bai Xue suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes. She wiped them away and said softly:

"Yes, sister Centipede, she must be watching us from the sky!"

"Yeah, fireflies are annoying, but I, I..." Miyuki choked up at the side. She tried hard not to cry, but she couldn't stop crying.

Bai Xue sighed, hugged her sister and said:

"Don't cry, we have to be strong, right?"

Miyuki lay in Shirayuki's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah, I didn't cry."

Pinghai felt a little guilty, but she saw that the usually cheerful and mischievous Firefly seemed a little disappointed. She touched her head:

"What's wrong Firefly?"

Firefly's tone was a little confused and a little tired:

"Sister Ping Hai, I miss the admiral."

Pinghai sighed. She now deeply felt the cruelty of fighting the deep sea and knew that she had to work harder. She said softly:

"Navy dream, I hope we can all realize our naval dreams sooner!"

Pinghai muttered to himself, and a meteor streaked across the sky. Everyone heard Pinghai's words, and they all prayed silently to the meteor, either for the safety and prosperity of their own port area, or to become an idol, or to realize their dreams.

That night, after the battle, the ship girls all realized that fighting the deep sea was not as easy as they had imagined. It also made them realize that they should cherish every minute of the time with their friends.

On the islands and reefs, as many of the damaged shipgirls were simply bandaged, a bonfire was lit. Gu Ying, Jia Gu and others were responsible for fishing. As for Quincy...

When Gu Ying was being helped by Quincy, he scared away a lot of fish and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking her for help.

The lost Quincy just sat back by the campfire with a bit of loss. As for the destroyers, they were responsible and well-behaved. Except for Firefly and Snow White, the others were injured and were very obedient and did not make a fuss.

Firefly experienced what it felt like to be an older sister, but she was always the one who made people laugh.

Ping Hai and Juno were collecting wild fruits. She saw the fireflies bringing laughter to the camp. She understood that this was the little fellow's way of dispelling the slightly heavy atmosphere after the battle. She felt that she had no reason to be depressed, so she encouraged herself again:

Pinghai, come on!
