Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Chapter 20: Exercise and Fierce Battle (I)

Through the screen in the data processing center, Lin Lan was able to use a perspective similar to that of an RTS map to see the members of Team AB starting to take action.

"August actually chose to hand over the command to Hu Teng. It seems that she really wants to win this exercise."

Bismarck has adjusted his state and returned to work.

She watched the transfer of command of Team B and explained it to Lin Lan.

"Hu Teng's command level should be very strong. Before in the Midgard Tower, the team that brought back the meta Scharnhorst and Gneisenau from another Siren Experimental Field world was commanded by her."

Lin Lan recalled the plot of the previous game activities. He was deeply impressed by Hu Teng's ease in dealing with the arbitration agency.

"Yes, speaking of those meta ships, they are not with us now, but have left the port area to look for you."

Bismarck said thoughtfully.

Meta ship, to put it simply, is a ship girl that has fallen into a dark state, but meta is not simply dark.

In the game setting, due to the existence of the commander, the ship girls can gain stronger power through mental awakening through the mental unit.

But except for the world where the commander exists, the ship girls in other worlds are not so lucky.

Faced with their companions being destroyed by the Sirens and everything they protect being destroyed, the ship girls created by the Mind Cube will fall into irreversible metamorphosis.

Although a meta-ized ship girl will gain unimaginable power as her meta level increases, she will also gradually lose her sanity.

Until they over-meta, and then turn into completely insane monsters, destroying everything in their sight.

Lin Lan recalled the dozen or so meta ship girls in his port area. He had the impression that meta ship girls would not be over-meta after joining the port area.

Therefore, he was not very worried about these meta ship girls who were acting on their own, but was worried about those guys who were ignorant and dared to provoke them.

"Peter chose to keep his troops in place and only deployed carrier-based aircraft, intending to use the defense system and carrier-based aircraft in the harbor to consume the enemy."

"Once the three-hour routine exercise time is up and the harbor is not landed, they will be considered victorious."

Bismarck said as he looked at the screen and saw Peter releasing an array of carrier-based aircraft into the storm.

Lin Lan had already studied at the Naval Academy for a year, and with the inherited memory, he had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge.

He looked at the Peter carrier-based aircraft group flying towards the ocean against the storm and split into several groups, and thought:

"In this kind of bad weather, it will probably be difficult for carrier-based aircraft to spot the enemy. Peter should be focusing on reconnaissance at the moment."

Bismarck nodded:

"That's true, but it seems... August doesn't intend to let her conduct the investigation smoothly."

Sure enough, in the midst of heavy rain and thunder, a large number of concentrated carrier-based aircraft appeared directly in front of Peter's originally scattered groups of carrier-based aircraft.

August, just go all in with all the fighters and bombers, and attack the harbor head-on!

"This is intended to directly destroy the port's defense facilities.

But this alone is far from enough."

Peter obviously didn't expect that the other side would directly put all the fighters and bombers into battle at once.

Caught off guard, she was shot down by a wave of fighters from the August fleet, who destroyed many of her carrier-based aircraft.

But she was not worried because the defending side's carrier-based aircraft and ammunition could be replenished infinitely.

"Adalbert, turn on the air defense system and prepare for a carrier-based air strike."

While the other carrier-based aircraft groups began to encircle the enemy, Peter also gave orders to Adalbert, who was operating the harbor defense system.

"Adalbert received."

The searchlights on the sea surface slowly rose towards the dark clouded sky, and all the anti-aircraft firepower in the harbor was aimed at the sky, preparing for the impending bombing.

"Wait, Adalbert, leave half of the searchlight above the sea."

At this moment, Tirpitz suddenly gave an order. Looking at the ocean that was sinking into darkness, Tirpitz keenly sensed a conspiracy.

"Eh, eh, okay."

"Boom!"

As soon as Adalbert replied, a roar was heard on the sea.

A violent explosion ensued beneath a lighthouse in the harbor.

"It's true. The incoming carrier-based aircraft attracted all of our reconnaissance crews together, and also attracted the searchlights in the harbor to the sky."

"They want to sacrifice this wave of carrier-based aircraft and attack the lighthouse when it is fully prepared to defend against carrier-based aircraft."

Tirpitz analyzed calmly, and Peter also showed a serious expression on his face:

"Once the lighthouses are pulled out, we will become sitting ducks in this dark sea. We must find their main fleet."

At this time, the roar of the JU-87 dive bomber's engine was heard in the sky.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da!"

The lampposts rising into the sky successfully captured August's bomber group, and the harbor's anti-aircraft firepower sprayed out.

But even so, two lighthouses were forcibly replaced by August, and now there are only five lighthouses left in the harbor.

"Peter! Let Xiao Tie and I go out and explore the situation outside!"

Heinrich looked at Peter anxiously, but Peter just shook his head: "I still have enough carrier-based aircraft. You don't need to attack yet."

"Peter, a large number of mass-produced warships were discovered on the left side of the harbor!"

Adalbert's voice came, and everyone looked in the direction of the lamppost.

On the dim ocean, an indistinct number of mass-produced warships emerged from the shadows of the rainstorm.

"Leave these mass-produced warships to me! Once they are dealt with, their subsequent attacks won't be so smooth!"

Scharnhorst could no longer suppress his desire to fight, and jumped directly into the sea from the dock, rushing towards the group of mass-produced warships.

"Oh, Shane just rushed out like that? Is that okay?"

Adalbert saw Shane rushing out alone in a ship suit and asked in surprise in the team communication.

"My carrier-based aircraft and other people's main guns will cover her. You continue to control the lighthouse to scout other directions."

Peter said, stroking his chin.

Scharnhorst's combat power is very strong. If she can really destroy all of Team B's mass-produced warships, then

Even if I couldn't come back, it was still a big profit.

"Peter, enemies have also appeared on the right side of the harbor... The ones in front are Seydlitz and Prince Eugen, and there are shadows behind them. It's unclear how many people there are!"

In the opposite direction from the mass-produced type, Adalbert's searchlight discovered a new enemy on the sea.

"Haha, so the main force is hiding here. August thinks this simple tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west will work on me?"

There was a gleam of disdain in Peter's eyes.

Tirpitz analyzed the situation carefully. Since Team B used the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, the main fleet must be on the right.

Sacrificing mass-produced warships in exchange for a successful surprise attack is a tactic that Iron Blood has always adopted.

Even if Team B wanted to send out a surprise attack force, the two sides were equally strong, and if they continued to divide their forces, their strength would not be enough to defeat the harbor's defenses.

"I'm going with Heinrich and Count Spee."

Tirpitz said calmly.

Peter nodded, and she agreed.

This childish tactic would lose its value as a surprise attack once it was exposed. As long as Tirpitz and her team could hold back the main force of Team B on the right, it would be basically impossible for the attacking side that had lost its mass-produced type on the left to break into the harbor.

Scharnhorst had already opened fire at this moment, and under the cover of Peter's carrier-based aircraft overhead, she was ready to tear this group of mass-produced warships into pieces.

Even if there is an ambush, Scharnhorst is fully confident that he can fight two enemies alone in a short period of time.

As long as she could hold off until Peter's carrier-based aircraft and the covering artillery fire from the rear arrived, her mission would be accomplished.

"Boom boom boom!"

Even in such a dark night, her main guns still accurately hit the mass-produced battleships, but the guns of these mass-produced battleships were completely blocked by her ship equipment, and even the armor was not damaged.

There is no doubt that when she enters the mass-produced battleship formation, she is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering them thoroughly.

"Wait, Shane, turn on the anti-aircraft guns!"

Suddenly, Peter's voice came from the communication.

Before Scharnhorst could react, she felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion that made her body feel heavy, as if it were filled with lead.

"This is... August?"

They were all Iron Blood's companions, so she naturally knew who the owner of this deceleration ability was.

Shane raised her head and looked up at the sky with wide eyes. The torpedo crew, which was attacking Peter's fighter planes and her ship's anti-aircraft firepower, was swooping towards her and dropping cluster torpedoes accurately in the sea.

The violent storm at the moment did not affect Shane's sight of seven or eight torpedoes dragging white waves on the sea approaching her.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

In the end, despite her best efforts to dodge, four torpedoes still hit her. The violent explosion not only sank most of her ship's equipment, but also temporarily paralyzed her power system.

If Peter's fighter planes had not shot down a number of torpedo planes before, she might have been seriously damaged or sunk directly.

After launching this round of torpedoes, August's torpedo crew was completely destroyed by Peter's fighter crew and the anti-aircraft guns installed on the Shane ship.

Including the bomber and fighter groups that had previously attacked the harbor, all of August's carrier-based aircraft had been used up at this moment.

"Tsk, after all this time, this is it? Then August, you guys are doomed to fail."

The rain slid down Scharnhorst's face. She stood on the sea with a sneer, waiting quietly.

It only took her two or three minutes to repair the power system with the maintenance tools she carried with her, and this group of mass-produced warships still could not escape her control.

August's final blow failed to sink her, so she would not be polite.

However, a thunderous roar in front of him shattered Shane's fantasy.

In the mass-produced battleship formation ahead, a string of golden artillery fire, like a curtain of light, broke through the rain and locked onto her.

"Ulri..."

Scharnhorst's right pupil shrank sharply as she looked at the terrifying main gun and barrage. She realized something instantly, but it was too late.

The shells and the golden barrage fell accurately, creating a huge and gorgeous wave on the churning ocean.

Scharnhorst, sunk.

Chapter 21: Exercise and Fighting (Part )

"Schahn! Scharnhorst!"

Peter shouted in the communication, but Shane had already been considered sunk and was forced out of the Mirror Sea, so he could no longer communicate with her for the time being.

"On the right side of the harbor... the lighthouse only found Seydlitz, Prinz Eugen, and August, which no longer had any carrier-based aircraft. The other shadows were just a few mass-produced battleships!"

At this time, Adalbert's communication came, and Peter felt cold sweat sliding down her forehead.

It turns out that the right side was just a feint attack, and the real main force was hidden in the mass-produced fleet on the left!

You thought it was a feint to the east but it was actually a cover-up!

At this time, her fighter group was also above the mass-produced fleet and discovered Hutten, Hipper, Blücher and Gneisenau hidden in it.

"We have engaged Seydlitz."

The communication from Tirpitz at this moment already contained the sound of artillery fire.

She had already started fighting with Seydlitz and Eugen with Heinrich and Spee, and it was probably too late to retreat to the harbor.

When the overall strength of both sides was equal, the sinking of the battlecruiser Scharnhorst immediately brought tremendous pressure to the defenders.

At this moment, there were only three people who could face the enemy on the left side, including Adalbert, Peter and Odin.

As long as the enemy lands on the harbor, they will be considered failed!

"Heh... To be able to conceal the truth to this extent, I'm afraid the commander of Team B is not August, but Ulrich. Were we tricked..."

Although Peter knew that the situation was critical at the moment, she was not in the habit of giving up easily.
