Chapter 185 Problems Exposed
The exercise league is still going on, and one commander after another is participating in the competition with their own ship girls.
Qin Ge performed his duties conscientiously, and although the venue for this exercise league was relatively small and the process was relatively fast, it was already noon after the fourth game.
So the league entered a short break. Yixian, the chef of the Commander Academy, had already arrived at the competition venue with prepared lunch boxes, and distributed them to each commander and ship girl.
After all, each region had to hold 19 practice matches to end the first round of the practice league. The second round of the practice league followed immediately, and was decided by a re-draw of lots by the winners of the first round.
In total, each division had to conduct more than 30 drills, and these 30 drills had to be completed within three days.
Because there will be a re-draw for the promotion match after adding up the remaining players in the 10 divisions, not to mention the team match, so basically each practice league takes more than a week.
"Commander Qin Ge, this is your meal, and this is Helena's." After Yixian and the staff pushed the cart over here, they handed Qin Ge's lunch box to him, and also gave a box of lunch to Helena who was standing next to him.
"Thank you for your help, Yixian." Qin Ge took the lunch box and smiled at Yixian.
"It's not a big deal. After all, that's what our cafeteria does. Actually, come to think of it, I'm sorry to bother you this time. Previously, the school always invited people from the Maritime Administration or the Donghuang Command to be referees. This year, you are used, so it's you who are working hard." Yixian said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm a tutor at the school. If I can help the school, it's my duty. And letting me be a referee shows their trust in me, so it's not hard at all." Qin Ge responded with a smile.
"I knew you would say that. Eat quickly. You still have to continue supervising the game after eating." Yixian said with a smile.
"Yeah." Qin Ge nodded, then turned around and went to a table nearby with Helena to start eating.
After everyone finished their meal and cleared away the dishes, a new round of exercises and competitions began.
From noon on, there was no rest time, and the contestants were in a high-intensity competition. After 5 games in the afternoon, it was time for lunch, but after lunch, they continued the confrontation exercises.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the spotlights were turned on at the dock where personnel were gathering, and the battle was about to begin and enter a night battle.
The first two to participate in the night battle were two first-year students, but since neither of them had ever conducted nighttime training, the battle was a complete mess.
In Qin Ge's special night vision goggles, the ship girls of both sides almost all used radar to detect the direction of the other side and then began to attack, but such an attack was almost ineffective.
Because all the shells and torpedoes they fired missed their target, their combat effectiveness had obviously dropped significantly compared to during the day.
Even during several exchanges of fire, they simultaneously lost track of each other's position, and then they flew around like headless flies, firing at random.
Qin Ge couldn't help but frowned when he saw this situation. It turned out that the first-year students didn't have a deep understanding of night combat and had very little training for night combat, which led to this situation.
There were only two ship girls, but their exercise lasted longer than the duel between the two second-year students and four ship girls during the day.
In the end, the two ship girls had to fight each other through close-range gun and torpedo battles to determine the final winner.
On the way back in the boat, Helena looked at Qin Ge's frown and asked in confusion , "Commander, what's wrong? Why are you frowning like that?"
Qin Ge said to Helena, "I found something, but I have to observe for a while before I can draw a conclusion."
Helena nodded, not quite understanding, "Oh."
But she knew that Qin Ge could say it so seriously, it must be something very important, so she didn't ask, because Qin Ge would tell her when the time came.
Just after Qin Ge docked, the next two students who fought against him were both second-year graduates. Both of them were quite strong and each had three ship girls.
After following the normal procedure, Qin Ge returned to the referee area in Helena's boat. This time he observed more carefully.
Perhaps because they were second-year students on a mission, the shipgirls were much more relaxed in their reaction to the night than the first-year students. However, although their attack methods were not as reckless as those of the first-year students, they were also conservative.
Often they would follow other shipgirls for a while before attacking. In short, it took more time and was more hesitant than daytime attacks.
First, they were afraid of exposing their position. Second, it was difficult to find torpedoes in the sea due to the darkness of night. Third, they were acting, but usually there were no tracers, and in the darkness of night, it was very difficult to tell the direction from which the enemy's shells were fired.
That's how it was. It took them longer than any of the previous ship girls, and by the time the winner was decided, the first day of the exercise league had come to an end.
After Qin Ge met with the others, he said hello to Anshan and the others, then returned to the guesthouse with his ship girl.
On the way, Qin Ge asked his ship girl, "I have a question for you."
"Oh, Commander, please ask if you have any questions. If we know something, we will definitely tell you everything." Guanghui said to Qin Ge.
"What do you think about tonight's night battle?" Qin Ge directly asked the question he wanted to ask.
Several shipgirls looked at each other and shook their heads. Finally, Guanghui said to Qin Ge, "It's bad. First-year commanders basically have no experience in night combat, including the shipgirls.
So we are like headless flies at sea. Some of the more can still capture targets, but some people can only shoot based on their feelings."
"My situation is the same as Senior Guanghui's. Their reconnaissance methods are limited. Even the second-year commander has very limited control over night combat." The Centaur said to Qin Ge.
"Me too." Noshiro nodded.
"Same here, master," said Belfast.
Qin Ge nodded, "It seems that we should add some night combat training. After all, those Sirens will not only come during the day but also at night. Instead of letting them experience some pain before they can grasp the true nature of night combat, why don't I communicate with Dean Prince of Wales later?"
