Chapter 104: The Battle Begins
Deafening artillery fire sounded from a very close distance. Fighter planes flew overhead with the sound of their engines. The thick smell of gunpowder made Qin Ge sniff his nose.
He had attended military school on Earth for four years, and had been in this world for half a year now. This time he could finally see a real battlefield.
It was not what was shown in the movies, nor what I imagined, but this battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder, the sound of cannons, and the sound of engines...
"Commander?" The Centaur looked at Qin Ge and called softly, because Qin Ge's expression had been dull since arriving near the island.
At the same time, they were also concerned about Belfast and Glory next to them. After all, everyone has a first time. Going to the battlefield sounds easy, but once you actually get there, not everyone can mentally withstand it.
Qin Ge shook his head at everyone, signaling them not to worry. Then he looked at the island in front of him and smiled, "Centaurs, Belfast, we will soon be able to declare our existence to the world."
Guanghui at the side smiled and said, "Haha, I was a little worried that Commander Qin Ge might not be able to adapt to the battlefield. It seems that my worry is unnecessary."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Yes, now that I see the battlefield, I feel a surge of anticipation in my heart. It seems that I am also a restless person."
" It's okay, Commander, we will always fight with you!" The Centaur said to Qin Ge.
"Yeah." Qin Ge nodded, slowly slowed down the speed of the command key, and successfully entered the port of Mporo Island.
After the command ship was completely stopped, Qin Ge and a group of ship girls walked from the command ship to the dock. They now had to report to the registration office on Mporo Island before they could carry out their mission.
Because there was a specific sign in the direction of the pier, they quickly found the registration office. The so-called registration office was a temporary tent built on a relatively high place, and there were several small tents next to the registration office.
As Qin Ge approached the reporting office, he was surprised to find that the person in charge here was not a ship girl, but a man.
"Hello, I'm Qin Ge, a freshman at the Commander Academy. I've accepted a support mission, so I'm here to report in now." Qin Ge said to the man and handed over his mission commission.
"Huh? Trainee commander?" The man took the mission letter from Qin Ge's hand, quickly glanced at Qin Ge's military rank, and said with some surprise.
"Although I am a trainee commander, my strength has reached the level to accept this mission, so the academy gave me this task. Doesn't this place accept trainee commanders?" Qin Ge said to the person in charge with a smile.
"No, I'm just a little surprised. Because most of the people who choose the support mission are members of the large fleets, the sudden arrival of a trainee commander really shocked me." The man shook his head and said to Qin Ge.
"Have you confirmed it now? Can we carry out the mission?" Qin Ge said to the man.
"Wait a moment, I need to register." The man said to Qin Ge.
"Okay." Qin Ge nodded.
"Excuse me, who will be participating in the battle this time? Because there are only two ship girls on your commission list, but you brought three." The man said, looking at the ship girls behind Qin Ge.
"The ship girls participating in the battle are Centaur and Belfast. As for Glory, she is not participating in the battle." Qin Ge said to the man.
"Understood." The man nodded, quickly wrote down something on the paper with a pen, then took out two medals from the drawer and handed them to Qin Ge.
"These two medals are battle medals. Every time your ship girl destroys a Siren warship, the number on will increase by one. When the time comes, come to me and hand it in according to the number on the medal."
Listening to the man's explanation, Qin Ge nodded and handed the two medals to Belfast and Centaur.
"You will need half a day of support. The count starts from now. You can come back in 6 hours." The man said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, and then said to the man, "Then where should we deploy our defenses?"
"There is no specific position." The man explained, "Because we have a group of free ship girls stationed here all year round, and issuing missions is to relieve their pressure. So, do your best and just play freely."
"I understand." Qin Ge nodded, "Then let's enter the battlefield."
"Well, good luck to you in military affairs!" the man said to Qin Ge.
"Sure!" Qin Ge nodded with a smile, then walked out with the Centaurs.
Walking forward from another path of the reporting office, you can see the other side of the island.
At this time, there were several Siren ships floating on the endless sea, and their direction was this Mporo Island. From a distance, several ship girls opened fire on the Siren ships, and at the same time, planes rushed towards the ships.
Amid the roar of cannons and bombs, a Siren ship rose up into thick smoke on the sea, then turned into wreckage and sank.
Looking at this scene, Qin Ge couldn't help but quicken his pace, and soon the four of them arrived at the dock.
After adjusting the communication device in his hand, Qin Ge hung the telescope around his neck and said to the Centaur and Belfast, "Then it's our turn to attack!"
"Yes!" With a crisp sound, Centaurs and Belfast jumped into the sea one after another, unfolded their ship equipment in mid-air, and landed steadily on the water.
"Very good." Qin Ge said to them, and then began to issue his own instructions.
"Centaur launches three fighters to conduct reconnaissance in directions 45, 90, and 135. Then, it and Belfast advance 4 kilometers to direction 90 and wait for orders."
"Yes, Commander (Master)!" Centaur and Belfast responded.
Then the Centaur drew his longbow and shot an arrow into the sky. The sword turned into three fighter planes in mid-air and flew in three different directions.
Then, Belfast in front and the Centaur behind started moving straight towards direction 90.
Looking at the two figures gradually going away, Qin Ge nodded and said to Guanghui on the side with a smile, "Guanghui, what do you think will be our record in this battle?"
"It's hard to say, but according to Commander Qin Ge's instructions, it seems that the area you want to cover is very large." Guanghui said with a smile.
"There is no other way. We must expand the scope of intelligence collection, but with only one aircraft carrier, we can only do rough collection." Qin Ge sighed. "It seems that we must build another aircraft carrier next time. If we have two aircraft carriers, then the search locations can be more dense."
When he heard Qin Ge's voice, Guanghui was slightly shocked, and then raised the corner of his mouth...
