Chapter 195 The Challenge Begins
Qin Ge looked at Anshan who was watching the fun, and then said to Li Chenming and the other two, "Many times when I held exercises with you, I kept Guanghui from playing, or the others held back, but this time I won't let them hold back.
After all, you appeared in front of me as a challenger. If I stayed, it would seem disrespectful to you.
So, be prepared mentally, I will go all out this time."
"Okay , then please let the commander come over!" Chen Baijun and others said to Qin Ge.
"Oh!!" There was a loud roar from the crowd below. After all, they had seen exhibition matches before, and most of them were performances.
But as a commander, I still like to watch real battles with real swords and guns.
"Haha, it looks like both sides have finished their conversation. Next, we would like to ask the players from both sides to gather their ship girls and prepare to go into the water to the exercise area." Anshan on the side said very timely.
Qin Ge, Li Chenming and the other two smiled at each other, then walked down from both ends of the stage and went to the dock nearby.
"Commander, are we really planning to use all our strength to fight against them this time? Normally, even the five of them together are no match for us. If we do that now, wouldn't that be too much of a bully for them?" The Centaur said to Qin Ge.
"Normally, we are training together, so we should hold back when necessary. But this time, it's not a training exercise. Instead, they are challenging us as a challenger.
So as the challenged, we should respond to them with all our strength, this is their honor. If we hold back, it would be disrespectful to their challenge. "Qin Ge said as he looked at the three people and their ship girls who were discussing fiercely in the distance.
"The commander is right." Prince Eugen nodded and said, "Normally it's a training ground, anything is fine. Now it's a competition ground, with everyone watching, so it's about honor and belief.
We should respond enthusiastically to their challenges. This is what we should do.”
"Yes, since they are already prepared as challengers, they must have understood what they are facing. The glory of the empire is already shining, and I, Vittorio Veneto, will surely let them experience what the majesty of the empire is." Veneto said with a smile.
Qin Ge looked at the people who were full of fighting spirit and said with a smile, "Then let's use the latest offensive tactics we have developed and our strongest strength to make everyone realize their own gaps, and then continue to move forward."
"Yes!" The girls nodded, and then, under the gaze of Qin Ge, they put on their communication devices, unfolded their ship suits, jumped into the sea, and moved quickly towards the standby area in the exercise area.
On the other side, the ship girls of Li Chenming and others also jumped into the sea and paddled quickly towards the standby area in the distance.
After both parties entered the standby area, Tai Yuan, who was the referee for this match, said to the communication device, "If both parties are ready, please let me know."
"We are ready." Guanghui's voice came from the communication device.
"We are ." On the other side, Nevada's voice came from the communication device.
"Okay, both sides are ready, so let's start this challenge!"
Following Taiyuan's voice, both sides began to act.
Qin Ge's vanguard fleet and battleships began to advance, while the Glory and the Centaur stood still and launched six and four sorties of carrier-based fighters at the same time.
But it is also true that both the Tejas and the Centaur are aircraft carriers fighting for air supremacy, and the carrier-based aircraft they carry are mainly fighters, with torpedo planes as a secondary.
Therefore, when the battle began, their main responsibility was to seize air superiority with all their strength.
In an instant, ten fighter jets roared past everyone's heads and quickly rushed towards the opposite camp, finding out the situation ahead and seizing air superiority.
On the other side, the Wasp 's carrier-based aircraft also took off at the same time, but compared to the Tejas and Centaur which took off ten fighters at a time, the Wasp, which only broke through once, was somewhat dwarfed.
She launched four planes at a time, but these four planes included two fighters, one bomber and one torpedo plane.
There were only two fighter jets capable of competing for air supremacy, while Qin Ge's side had ten fighter jets.
Soon, the carrier-based aircraft groups of both sides met.
"Da da da", soon flames spewed out from the fighter planes, and the planes of both sides fought together.
However, the outcome was already determined from the beginning. The Centaurs and Tejas fighters quickly defeated the four carrier-based aircraft released by the Wasp.
Passing the fireworks produced by the explosion of four carrier-based aircraft in the air, ten carrier-based aircraft quickly flew over the head of the combined fleet. At this moment, the enemy's formation and position were all known to several people.
In the Combined Fleet, looking at the planes flying overhead, Atlanta and others quickly raised their anti-aircraft guns and fired back at the planes in the sky.
However, the difference in training level and ship equipment made Atlanta, a specialized air defense ship, particularly struggling.
Because she found that she could only cause certain damage to these carrier-based aircraft, but it was far from enough to shoot them down.
Moreover, these carrier-based aircraft would drop a bomb into their formation from time to time, forcing them to change their positions according to the opponent's wishes.
At this time, Helena's voice sounded in the communicator, "SG, lock the enemy's position!"
"Bearing 213, distance 21 kilometers, locked onto the enemy battleship!"
After hearing Helena's report from the communicator, Veneto laughed and said, "Everyone, pay attention, turn your guns around."
Then, Hiei and Rodney turned their guns and pointed them in the direction Helena mentioned. Veneto also drew the rapier from his waist and adjusted the gun to the direction Helena mentioned.
"The flagship of the Imperial Fleet, Vittorio Veneto, weigh anchor!" Veneto said, slashing down with the rapier in his hand.
The three battleships opened fire at the same time, and the huge noise shocked the entire training ground.
Countless training bullets trailed red light, drew an arc trajectory, and accurately hit Nevada.
Nevada looked at the red paint all over his body and couldn't help but look in the direction where the shells came from. Then he said helplessly, "Three battleships fired at the same time, plus radar scanning and positioning, you really think highly of me."
But having said that, the rules of the exercise still had to be followed. So Nevada turned around and was the first to slide towards the shore.
