Daily life with the ship girl

"What? Did it fail?"

The attacker began to recall his Sea Fang, which had run out of ammunition, and then stuck out his tongue and said:

"No, there are too many enemy fighters. As for the deep-sea torpedo planes, they are all fed to the fish. I want to add now. Let's go first. They are chasing us."

"Yeah." Brooklyn nodded.

The two began to retreat, and at this time, Lexington's seventy carrier-based aircraft of various types arrived above them.

The attacker looked at the 20 weakest [F2A Buffaloes] responsible for air combat fighters leading the way in front, and the 20 [SBD-3 Dauntless] bombers and 30 [BTD-1 Destroyers] behind them. To be honest, when the attacker first saw these carrier-based aircraft, his first reaction was that except for the BTD, these carrier-based aircraft still had some combat effectiveness, and the other two were just used for the early transition of the aircraft carrier.

However, while sailing, she observed the combat flight sequences of the carrier-based aircraft overhead and discovered that she did not have the skills to operate carrier-based aircraft, because these three types of carrier-based aircraft were not formed in a single formation, but a mixed formation. The three combat formations all formed a V-shaped flight sequence, and the three independent blocks formed a large V-shaped formation with each other.

In all the years of experience of the Raiders, only a few powerful ship girls were able to do it. And when she was studying at the First Ship Girl Academy, the only one she had heard of was Lexington, who was known as the "Pioneer of Aviation Tactics" and was also the idol of their light aircraft carrier class.

"Brooklyn, do you know the triple V battle sequence?"

Brooklyn was in the rear, responsible for escorting the raiders. She heard her friend's voice. She suppressed her excitement and was a little confused:

"I know. Isn't that the famous skill of Senior Lexington, who is known as the Aircraft Carrier Goddess? What's wrong with that?"

"You have radar, you can see it clearly for yourself."

Brooklyn was stunned. She looked at her [Standard Anti-Aircraft Radar: Anti-Aircraft Correction 40%] and found the yellow light of the 3V sequence, which just passed over their heads. She opened her mouth wide:

"Assaulter, am I seeing right? This is really the 3V combat flight sequence?"

"That's right. I'm afraid we really ran into Senior Lexington who left the academy this time. What a coincidence. No, Senior's carrier-based aircraft is still too backward. I have to go help her."

"But you are running low on aluminum and fuel, as well as ammunition. Should we still go to Port Nile?"

"No, if I can be with Lexington, I will definitely learn more carrier-based aircraft operation skills that I can't learn in the academy. Also, Senior Saratoga must be with me, and then I can fight with Senior Saratoga.

You don't know, if they are in the same team with Saratoga, the combat effectiveness of the children on carrier aircraft will be greatly improved. I guess this must be the ability that the senior sister has initially awakened. I must seize this opportunity. I will definitely become another legend who will transform a light aircraft carrier into a regular aircraft carrier a hundred years later. I must realize the lifelong wish of the predecessor who failed in the transformation! "

Brooklyn sighed and said:

"You, here you go again. We don't even know who the other party is. Don't be impulsive."

"It must be Senior Lexington's. Oh no, that's bad. We've been talking for so long. I'm afraid that Senior's carrier-based aircraft has already exchanged fire with the enemy."

The attacker trusts her own intuition very much. She doesn't believe that anyone else can possess the 3V battle sequence control technology. If there is anyone, it must be the seven guys who have become governors. Their aircraft carrier ship girls may have it. However, the governor's ship girls are all legendary ship girls and will not be deployed easily. Once they are deployed, it proves that the deep sea has launched a large-scale battle again.

There is only one Lexington in the First Ship Girl Academy, and that is her senior, the aircraft carrier goddess surrounded by countless halos.

Brooklyn was shocked to find through the air radar that the battle was one-sided from the beginning. She said quickly:

"Wait, Raider, I'm afraid we don't need your help. The battle is so one-sided..."

The Raiders didn't listen to Brooklyn's words, and immediately shook the armor plate of the flag ship, and 40 [Sea Fangs] took off again:

"How could that be? Since the senior lost, I have to help even more! Let's take off, we are all good kids~"

Brooklyn sighed and said:

"I haven't finished speaking yet. The one-sided statement refers to the fact that the Deep Sea Spiral Fighter Formation was completely crushed. It's incredible that with such basic carrier-based aircraft, they were able to defeat the enemy with fewer troops. However, your carrier-based aircraft can also help. The Deep Sea Light Cruiser has arrived. You can help cover the enemy's retreat and assist them in bombing."

"Ah? Senior won?" The attacker was a little surprised, but then her tone was full of admiration. She said with full energy:

"I will definitely help my senior."

Brooklyn listened to the Raider's words and released her 10 most precious [TBF Avenger] torpedo planes. You know, Brooklyn seldom saw the Raider use torpedo planes. After all, the combat loss rate of torpedo planes was too high. Even after the battle, the overall aluminum consumption was often higher than that of fighter planes. Generally, she would only be seen using them when there were not many deep-sea light cruisers. But this time, she knew there were light cruisers in the deep sea, but she still released these torpedo planes. She sighed, she really hasn't changed at all, she is still a passionate girl full of energy.

I have to say that this batch of Raider's carrier-based aircraft arrived just in time.

At this time, Lexington had just shot down about 60 Deep Sea fighters and had ensured air superiority, but the enemy team was also approaching, and the Deep Sea light cruiser's anti-aircraft artillery began to cause damage to her [F2A Buffalo] fighters. The air advantage was slowly eroded. She heard Pinghai say that the two ship girls were approaching their own waters, so she thought about recalling her [F2A Buffalo] fighters, but she felt that behind her battle formation, 40 carrier-based aircraft with flashing golden light roared past the wings of her formation.

"【Sea Fang】!" Lexington laughed bitterly. The opponent's ship equipment was really luxurious. This was a golden fighter that many ship equipment manufacturing facilities might not produce many of in several years. It had an air defense capability three times that of the 【F2A Buffalo】. A flash of envy flashed through her eyes, but then she calmed down. Since the other party chose to help, the air defense would be left to her.

So, Lexington ordered the [F2A Buffalo] in the formation to withdraw from the battle sequence and make a U-turn. This signal in the air was understood by any aircraft carrier girl with common sense.

If the fighter jets make a U-turn, it means that I have to withdraw these fighter jets and you will be in charge of the subsequent air defense operations.

The attacker received the signal, and seeing the 10 [F2A Buffaloes] covered in wounds, she knew that Senior Lexington must be heartbroken, but she was more impressed. It was true that she had seen many luxuriously equipped aircraft carriers, and their combat effectiveness was indeed strong, but only a handful of them could form a 3V-shaped flying combat sequence. Moreover, she asked herself that even if it was herself, relying solely on the weakest [F2A Buffalo] among the fighter planes, she might not be able to achieve such fruitful results.

Moreover, she had just gotten started with the mixed organization. Seeing that there were originally 20 [F2A Buffaloes], only 10 were left. However, when they made a U-turn, their charm was still there. She could not suppress her inner excitement at this moment.

"Senior Lexington, leave the air defense combat and bombing assistance to me this time!" The attacker felt her mind was extremely clear at this moment, and many skills that she did not understand before seemed to have awakened. The details of the coordination between the carrier-based aircraft that she did not understand before were now extremely clear, and her mind was extremely focused at the moment.

Then, her [Sea Fang] began to show its style. She divided the 40 [Sea Fang] fighters into ten batches. Four [Sea Fang] formed a triangle, and then a large triangle was composed of ten small triangles.

"The small triangle formation forms a large triangle formation with a single type of combined formation skills. This light carrier girl is very good."

Lexington could see this scene as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes through the vision shared by the carrier-based aircraft. This was the technique of forming a large formation from a small formation. Although it was only a single type of carrier-based aircraft formation, it made her sigh with admiration. She thought of her sister Saratoga. Although this sister was very talented, she was not delicate enough and could not form such a good battle formation.

While Lexington was sighing, Walker returned from the front and reported the bad news:

"Sister Lexington, Sister Gaga is in trouble. The enemy light cruiser is frantically pouring anti-aircraft fire. Sister Gaga's plane can't return to the main camp!"

"Gaga!"

Lexington was about to launch her carrier-based aircraft when she realized that all her carrier-based aircraft had been launched. Even if she wanted to recover them, it would take five minutes at most. She suddenly became nervous. At this time, Pinghai reported a good news:

"Reporting to the flagship, the two ship girls are one nautical mile away from us. They have informed us with flag signals whether they are allowed to approach!"

"Allowed." Lexington sighed, and then she continued:

"Wauquelan, inform Gaga to have the carrier-based fighters perform a low-altitude dive, sacrificing the fighters to cover the bombers' retreat. Tell her that the order of the dive is high-high-low-low-high-low-high-low. Remember that?"

"The dive order is high-high-low-low-high-low-high-low. Remember that." Walkerlan repeated, then returned to the front line to report.

Lexington could only pray that his sister would lose fewer carrier-based aircraft, as they could not afford to lose any more carrier-based aircraft now.

Lexington sighed and looked at Pinghai signaling with flags. She said with a bit of bitterness in her heart:

It would be nice if there were [Sea Fang] and [Flying Dragon].

However, she soon discovered that her idea was wrong, and immediately threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind, then looked towards the port area and said silently:

The commander must be worried about the resources. No matter how weak the carrier-based aircraft are, I can't just give up. I believe that every carrier-based aircraft is the best child, and I will give full play to their due strengths. I believe in them, just as the commander trusts us!

Chapter 83: Prelude to the Attack

The attackers and others received the flag signal from Pinghai that they could get closer.

Brooklyn watched as the enemy's radar signal was unblocked, and now it was no longer a yellow light dot that represented a third party, but a green light dot that represented a friendly force.

These methods are the unique functions of the ship equipment among the ship girls. Brooklyn obtained permission for radar exploration, and she found that the fleet in front of her was more powerful than she had imagined.

"Striker, their lineup is too strong." Brooklyn smiled bitterly. She looked at the radar and saw ten green dots. Around these ten green dots, red dots symbolizing the deep sea kept appearing. She also saw the blind spot on the radar that could not be explored. The appearance of this blind spot meant that there was a deep-sea port area on the island that had not been explored yet, that is, a deep-sea harbor. She understood what this fleet was doing. They actually wanted to attack a deep-sea harbor with such a small fleet. She felt that maybe she shouldn't have listened to the attackers and came here. She took a deep breath and said:

"They are now besieging the Deep Sea Harbor. This is crazy. There are only ten of them, and they dare to do this!"

The attacker was stunned when she heard her friend behind her say this, but she was already looking at the figure so close, so she was not afraid, but said excitedly:

"Brooklyn, it's really Lexington-senpai, look there!"

Brooklyn was a little surprised to see that the attacker was not afraid this time, but after hearing what she said, she quickly slid to her side, and then followed the attacker's gaze, and indeed saw the familiar figure. She was stunned, smiled bitterly and said:

"It's really Lexington-senpai!"

"Well, let's go over there quickly. She's waving at us. Let's go."

Brooklyn watched the attacker rush over impatiently and followed quickly. She knew that place was too close to the deep-sea harbor, where there were real battlefields with many deep-sea creatures.

"They are coming, Sister Lexington." Because of the breach, Sigsby had been on guard not far from Lexington. This place was relatively far back and not directly facing the main battlefield of the V-shaped strait of the deep-sea harbor. However, she was still responsible for reporting the sporadic deep-sea destroyers and deep-sea light cruisers that occasionally broke through the blockade on the front line.

As she watched the Raiders and Brooklyn approaching, although she learned in advance that they were friendly forces, she was still immediately asked by Helena, who was in charge of the front-line command, to withdraw from the front line to ensure Lexington's safety.

Lexington watched Sigsby taxiing over. As the ship's speed dropped significantly, she said with some distress:

"Got it, Sigsby, are you okay with your injury?"

Sigsby shook his head firmly and said, "It's okay, Sigsby can still fight. By the way, Sister Lexington, if you ask Sister Pinghai to go to the front line to help, won't we be in danger here?"

"If it was just now, I would be a little worried, but this time the person who came over is someone my sister knows."

"Huh?" Sigsby looked at Lexington with some confusion, and her face was obviously relieved. She also looked over and found a sister wearing a cheerleader's uniform, and another sister with healthy dark skin. She sensed a familiar aura from these two sisters, which was the aura of ship girls from the same series.

"Senior Lexington!" The voice came before the attackers arrived. Sigsby was stunned. Is she really Lexington's friend?

Lexington saw that it was her junior who saved Walkerlan, and she felt a little touched by this coincidence. Moreover, she saw Brooklyn, a top student in the First Ship Girl Light Cruiser Class. She waited quietly for the two juniors to approach.

A few minutes later, the Raiders and Brooklyn finally got to Lexington.

Lexington looked at the two school girls. The aura on their bodies was no longer as weak as before, but had become very strong. She chuckled and said:

"Raiders, Brooklyn, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Senior, in the past half month, there have been many rumors saying that you..." Brooklyn hesitated and then stopped talking.

Lexington smiled and said:

"You said I recognized the admiral, right?"

"Well, that's not true." The attacker quickly responded, then said expectantly.

"It's true. I already have an admiral. This expedition is for this island in front of us. This island seriously threatens the safety of external navigation in our port area."

"It's really surprising. By the way, Senior, the kids on the carrier-based aircraft have completed their mission, hehe." The Raider was not as disappointed as Brooklyn. She sensed that her [Sea Fang] had completed its mission, and quickly said:

"Senior, you can let the children return home. The Deep Sea has been completely wiped out."

Lexington nodded. As an aircraft carrier, she knew that the carrier-based aircraft were their children, and they usually called them that.

Brooklyn was still a little bit incredulous, but now was not the time to ask about these things. She thought of the several joint operations she had participated in, and she quickly reported the intelligence she had just discovered:

"Senior, do you know the specific situation of this deep-sea port area you are attacking?"

"What's the specific situation?" Lexington frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Helena was not detected by radar. Gaga and I dispatched many batches of carrier-based aircraft for reconnaissance, but we still couldn't detect the situation in some areas inside the port. What's wrong?"

Brooklyn sighed and said:

"Of course it can't be detected, because the deep-sea port of this island in front of us is a deep-sea habitat. There must be a deep-sea ship girl entrenched there, which blocked the detection of ship-mounted radar and sonar."

"Deep-sea Habitat?" Lexington's heart skipped a beat, and she finally understood where the vague feeling of uneasiness came from. It turned out that the deep-sea port of this C island was actually a deep-sea habitat. This could explain the continuous emergence of deep-sea destroyers. Only a deep-sea habitat could continuously produce so many weak deep-sea destroyers and deep-sea light cruisers. However, she was not worried at this time, and nodded to Brooklyn and said:

"Your intelligence is very timely. It seems that you have grown a lot in the past few years. I must go to the front line to reinforce you."

The attacker said, "Senior, let's help too. Hehe, I guess the reason why you guys haven't been able to attack the port yet is because you don't have enough anti-submarine means. I guessed it when I saved that kid before~"

"Well, senior, let us help you." Brooklyn also nodded and said to Lexington.

Lexington looked at the two school girls, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

The attackers cheered and Brooklyn breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Lexington would refuse. After all, she could roughly tell from the distribution of their fleet that Lexington should be the commander-in-chief of this operation, and she was in the rear and might also be the secretary ship of that lucky admiral.

Brooklyn knew that if Lexington refused, he and the Raiders would not be able to intervene in the combat operations. This was a rule between the free ship girls and the ship girls with admirals, which meant that the ship girls with admirals had the right to refuse the help of the free ship girls.

Once Lexington accepts their help, they will have the right to participate in this operation. This is very important for them as free ship girls, because large-scale battles generally prioritize actions between various garrisons, and only in some special circumstances will the free ship girls be invited to participate. Without deep-sea operations, the growth of the free ship girls will naturally be slower than that of the ship girls who have recognized the admiral.

Brooklyn knew that this was another opportunity for him and the Raiders to go into actual combat. Over the years, they had only occasionally accepted escort commissions from some small businesses. Not only was their salary low, but they had to rely on their own efforts for the four resources on a regular basis. This led to them not normally deploying their ship equipment, as deploying it would consume resources.

Besides, Brooklyn and the Raiders had originally chosen this long journey to find Lexington. Now that they had found it, she naturally couldn't just leave like that. After all, she wanted to see what kind of person the admiral was who was recognized by the aircraft carrier goddess.

While Brooklyn was daydreaming, the Raiders and Lexington's carrier-based aircraft came back together, and the roar brought her back to reality.

Brooklyn patted his cheek, realizing that he was in a daze again, and quickly came to his senses and began to protect the two attackers and Lexington.

While Lexington and Ranger were recalling their carrier-based aircraft, Pinghai was approaching rapidly from the front line. After experimental modification, Pinghai now had an astonishing speed of 31.2 knots.

Pinghai looked very panicked at this time. She shouted while sailing:

"Enemy submarines are attacking, Richelieu and Bismarck request reinforcements!"

Lexington's face suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, she found that the raider had already released her torpedo plane. Then she looked at the school girl and smiled at her:

"Leave the anti-submarine work to me, don't worry~~"

Lexington breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually forgotten that she had a light mother companion by her side. She nodded slightly and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Raider."

"Sister Lexington, who are they?" Sigsby asked softly as she watched the Raiders and Brooklyn sailing side by side with Lexington.

"He's my sister's schoolmate." Lexington said to Sigsby gently:

"Our weakness in anti-submarine warfare depends on that blue-haired big sister."

Sigsby also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she said eagerly:

"Great, let's go over there quickly."

"Well, but your injury..."
