Chapter 287: Main gun to air?
There were no other ship girls on the command ship Qin Ge was riding on, only him, Amagi and Shinano. The command ship was equipped with a long-range intercom and image projection device, so the scene of the subsequent battle could be clearly seen.
On the command ship, Qin Ge drove the ship and followed the ship girl in front from a distance. Because the three of them could not provide firepower assistance on the battlefield later, they could only give some opinions and suggestions to the ship girl in front through the intercom.
If the situation becomes urgent, the command ship can also serve as a temporary first aid station.
At this time, the square formation adopted by the ship girls of the Sakura Empire camp was the wheel formation they used when escorting large fleets.
So at this time, the destroyers are at the outermost edge, the light cruisers are a little bit inside, and the heavy cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers and other heavy firepower are all at the innermost.
Located in the middle of the central axis is naturally the Sakura Empire's flagship Nagato.
About ten minutes after Qin Ge and his team left the shore, the fighter jet in front finally spotted a figure appearing on the sea.
The figure was wearing a shark suit as the frontline intelligence said. A white-haired girl with a ponytail was riding on the shark suit and was heading towards the Sakura Empire fleet.
When the sound of the plane's engine passed over the girl's head, the white-haired girl with a ponytail glanced at the carrier-based aircraft in the air, gave a crazy smile, then sped up and drove quickly in the direction where the plane was coming from.
"Found it. At position 175, 40 kilometers away, a high-level Siren humanoid is coming! Judging from her appearance, she is the same as what Kongo reported from the front line, riding a shark ship suit." Akagi on the side turned to Nagato and said.
And because all the ship girls were temporarily equipped with communication devices, Akagi's words also reached the ears of other ship girls.
Nagato nodded and said, "Stop marching and deploy a defensive formation."
"yes."
A uniform cry came from the sea, and all the ship girls that were moving forward stopped sliding at the same time, stopped their bodies, and switched to a defensive formation, staring closely at the position reported by Akagi, as if ready to fight.
"Akagi, has that Siren discovered your fighter plane?" Nagato asked Akagi.
Akagi frowned and said, "Yes, she found my carrier-based aircraft and rushed straight here at an accelerated speed."
"It seems that the other party is fearless." Mikasa said beside Nagato.
"Senior Mikasa, do you have any suggestions?" Nagato said to Mikasa.
"That Siren is so confident, obviously she doesn't take Akagi seriously, and she doesn't even take our Sakura Empire Combined Fleet seriously.
So this time, it will definitely be a tough battle. I suggest that the unawakened ship girls retreat slightly and provide fire support in the rear, while our awakened ship girls push forward.
This way we can understand the strength of this advanced Siren humanoid, and avoid causing unnecessary damage by misjudging the opponent's strength." Mikasa said to Nagato.
Nagato nodded, "I thought so before, how about letting them retreat and protect Commander Qin Ge?"
"That's better." Mikasa nodded.
So Nagato gave the order, "Combined Fleet, all awakened people stay and prepare for the next battle.
Those who have not awakened, retreat and protect Commander Qin Ge's command ship, and provide corresponding fire support when necessary."
"yes!"
Although they were somewhat unwilling, they had to obey the orders of the flagship on the battlefield. So many of the unawakened ship girls retreated one after another, fading in an orderly manner towards the direction where Qin Ge was in the distance.
At this moment, within the sight of dozens of awakened ship girls, a black figure appeared on the sea level. Huge waves were rising behind the figure, and it was obvious that she was moving very fast.
"Aircraft carrier fleet, prepare to provide air cover." Nagato looked at the figure in the distance and said to Akagi beside him.
"Yes." Akagi nodded and released the red carrier-based aircraft first.
Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku and Zuikaku on the side also followed Akagi without hesitation and released their own carrier-based aircraft.
In an instant, a sky full of carrier-based aircraft took off in front of the ship girls and quickly swooped down on the Purifier that was approaching from afar.
At this time, an arrogant voice sounded in the communication devices of the ship girls, "Hahaha, come on, fight, fight me well!"
Hearing that arrogant voice, all the ship girls' faces changed. Akagi looked at that figure and couldn't help but whispered, "Could it be that a lunatic has appeared from the Siren this time?"
Indeed, the first thing the Purifier said when he saw everyone was to ask for a fight. The fighting spirit in his entire words was like that of a madman who only knew how to fight.
"Whether she is crazy or something else, now is the time to attack!" Mikasa said with a frown.
"Yeah!" Nagato nodded, and the four cannons behind him gradually straightened and aimed at the direction of the Purifier.
"Combined fleet, crush the enemy!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen awakened ship girls around her responded one after another, and at this time, a red light emanated from Nagato's body and turned into a magatama-like light.
Then, the magatama broke into several pieces and fell on the ship girl beside Nagato like scattered stars.
And just after the red light fell, the ship uniforms of all the ship girls began to emit a faint red light, obviously being blessed by some mysterious power.
With the blessing of this power, the carrier-based aircraft group that was already heading towards the Purifier in the distance had an additional layer of red light covering their bodies.
"Yohoo, it seems you are ready for the attack, it's my turn next!" The Purifier speeding on the sea obviously saw this scene, but she did not show any panic, instead she became more excited.
The whole person jumped up on the shark suit, and the shark suit automatically flew up, stopped steadily beside her, and flew into the sky with her.
As the ship's equipment changed, two devices similar to floating guns detached from the Shark ship and then rushed directly towards the attacking group of aircraft.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Qin Ge on the command ship, and the next scene, Qin Ge's face suddenly showed a dazed expression.
Because he saw in the light curtain that the Siren named Purifier actually used her shark ship's main gun to bombard the fleet, and what she fired out were not shells, but several rays of light!
These rays of light were flying in the air at an extremely fast speed. Just as Qin Ge saw the rays of light leaving the muzzle of the Purifier ship, a series of planes were directly destroyed in the sky!
Qin Ge looked at this scene and blurted out, "Laser main cannon against air? What kind of magic weapon is this?"
