Chapter 27 Combat Orders
While they were talking, they had already reached the edge of the dock. The Centaurs and Noshiro materialized their ship suits and jumped directly onto the sea, causing the calm sea to stir up waves.
Perhaps because it was a warship, the Centaurs who stepped onto the sea were very excited. Even Noshiro, who usually had a blank expression on her face, showed a slight smile.
"Centaur, try launching the carrier-based aircraft. Launch a fighter first, and then slowly form a formation until you reach your limit." Qin Ge stood on the dock and said to the Centaur on the sea.
"Yes, Commander!" the Centaur responded quickly.
The Centaur picked up the bow in her hand and put her fingers on the bowstring. An arrow with a blue feather appeared in the center of the bow and was caught by her fingers.
The Centaur pulled the bow and suddenly let go, and the blue arrow was shot high into the sky like a meteor. As the arrow flew higher and higher, a blue light emanated from the arrow, becoming brighter and brighter. Then, the arrow flying into the sky suddenly turned into a fighter plane in the light, soaring into the sky !
Listening to the rumbling engine sound from the carrier-based aircraft and watching the figure flying in the air, Qin Ge opened his mouth and was a little absent-minded. He was very firm that science could explain everything, until he saw the ship girl appear, until he saw an arrow turned into a fighter.
The fighter plane dived and rolled in the sky for a while, and then began to circle over the Centaur's head. At this time, the Centaur's hand was on the bowstring again, and he shot the second arrow into the sky.
The arrow quickly climbed above the sky, and when it reached a height just barely visible, a blue light flashed, and it actually split directly in the middle, transforming into two different carrier-based aircraft.
With the appearance of these two different carrier-based aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft that was originally hovering above the Centaur's head also flew directly towards the two carrier-based aircraft and joined them, forming a V-shaped formation and flying towards the distance at a high speed.
Qin Ge could also quickly identify the models of these three carrier-based aircraft based on their appearance. They were the F4U Corsair fighter and Sea Spitfire fighter that Fushun had just given to the Centaur, as well as the Centaur's own TBF Avenger torpedo plane.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ge closed his mouth and said to the Centaur, "Centaurs, can we increase the number?"
The Centaur on the sea controlled the plane and replied to Qin Ge, "Commander, this is my limit now. If you release more carrier-based aircraft, I will lose control."
Qin Ge nodded, "Then can you control these three carrier-based aircraft separately and do other things at the same time?"
The Centaur shook his head. "Maybe I'm not proficient enough in using them right now. I can only control one formation to do one thing at a time. It's still a bit difficult to control them separately."
Qin Ge nodded, "It's okay, let's just treat it as an experiment today, I'll give the instructions now!"
"Yes, Commander, I'll try!" The Centaur replied quickly, and at the same time called back three carrier-based aircraft flying far away, letting them hover over his head.
Qin Ge nodded, "Bearing 180, 10 kilometers away, a suspected enemy destroyer has appeared, send a fighter to conduct reconnaissance and confirmation!"
"Yes, Commander!" The Centaur responded, and at the same time commanded the carrier-based aircraft formation above his head to send out a fighter jet and fly it towards the south.
Qin Ge nodded and said to Noshiro who was waiting for orders, "Noshiro, bearing 170, distance 8 kilometers, confirmed the presence of enemy destroyers, please attack immediately and sink them!"
Noshiro, who was waiting for the combat order, answered quickly, "Yes, Commander!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the target direction like an arrow.
"Centaur, position 170, send a fighter to cover Nodai and help him complete the clearing mission!" Qin Ge said to the Centaur.
"Yes, Commander!" The Centaur bit her lip and commanded the fighter jets in the carrier-based aircraft formation above her head to fly towards the direction where Noshiro had just rushed forward. However, judging from the slightly shaking fuselage, she was almost reaching her limit.
Looking at Qin Ge's concise and clear command, An Shan nodded and said, "Commander Qin Ge, I didn't quite believe what the dean said before, but after hearing your orders, I believe it. You do have your own opinions on strategy and tactics. But I'm a little confused. Where did you learn such a systematic command before?"
Qin Ge was speechless. He couldn't say that he was in the Naval Command Academy in another world, right? "Uh, I learned it by myself by reading books."
Anshan shook his head after hearing this. "Since Commander Qin Ge doesn't want to say it, then I won't ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets. But as long as you stand on the side of Azur Lane and fight against the Sirens together, then you are one of us."
Qin Ge nodded, "Don't worry, I will always stand on the side of Azur Lane and will always stay on the land of Donghuang!"
"Yeah!" Anshan nodded heavily. She heard the belief of protection from Qin Ge's words, so she stopped asking him about his affairs.
Soon, the Centaur turned around and said, "Commander, Noshiro has arrived at the target sea area, and the 180-degree direction has confirmed that there are no enemy destroyers."
Qin Ge nodded and said, "Tell Noshiro that we can return, and you should also take back the carrier-based aircraft."
"Yes, Commander!" The Centaur responded immediately, and then concentrated on controlling the flight of the carrier-based aircraft.
As time passed, the carrier-based aircraft released first by the Centaur shook its fuselage and appeared in the airspace due south. It flew towards the Centaur at a constant speed and rejoined the carrier-based aircraft formation above her head.
After a while, a figure appeared in the distance, Noshiro Talang coming towards this place, and above her head, a fighter plane was flying over her head, following her like a shadow, like an eagle guarding her.
As the waves splashed, Noshiro slid to Qin Ge's side, stopped his forward momentum with a sliding step , and said to Qin Ge, "Commander, the target location has been cleared, Noshiro has been ordered to return."
Qin Ge nodded, "Welcome back to Hong Kong!"
At this time, the carrier-based aircraft above the Centaur had re-formed a formation and dived down. In mid-air, three carrier-based aircraft emitted blue light, and as they got closer and closer, they finally merged into a beam of light and landed on her hand.
The light faded and an arrow with blue feathers appeared in her hand. It then turned into light and disappeared. Then she turned around and looked at Qin Ge with a smile.
"Let's start our training today at this pace!" Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Yes, Commander!"
