Chapter 356 Encountering the Enemy
"Li Chenming, Zhang Xiaotian, Wu Hao, Zhang Shaocheng, Chen Baijun... the five of you will form a group and split into three groups, then begin patrolling the sea.
If you discover a mass-produced Siren, please report it to the command ship via the communication device in a timely manner. After my judgment, I will decide whether you should fight against the Siren.
If you discover a Siren Fleet larger than a small fleet, retreat immediately and report back on the way. I will arrange for an aircraft carrier to assist you in patrolling."
"yes!"
A neat response came from the command ship's cabin. Qin Ge nodded and disconnected the communicator.
Qin Ge and his companions were already in the sea area guarded by the caravan. What they had to ensure was that no Siren mass-produced warships or Siren mass-produced fleets would appear in this sea area.
Only in this way can we maintain the safety of the waterways in this sea area and complete the mission.
"Commander, what should we do then?" Veneto asked Qin Ge.
Qin Ge said, "We headed to the center of the sea area, and then dispatched an aircraft carrier to release carrier-based aircraft around the command ship to patrol the entire sea area.
And I found in the sea chart that this sea area is a long and narrow sea area, and next to it is a sea area with an erosion level of three, so if the Siren fleet is found, be ready to provide support to the target location at any time."
"Yes." Veneto nodded and gave up the idea of going into the sea now.
As the command ship continued to move towards the center of the sea, Qin Ge stood in the command cabin of the command ship, looking out at the endless sea, thinking about the situation of encountering the enemy in his mind.
The other ship girls are also ready to go, ready to receive Qin Ge's orders and enter the sea at any time.
After Qin Ge brought the ship girls to the center of the sea, he divided all the ship girls into three teams according to the number of aircraft carriers, and went into the water to patrol and prepare for combat according to their duty.
Perhaps this was the sea area that had been taken over from another level three fleet, so Qin Ge and the people in the fleet did not see any trace of the Sirens for the entire afternoon.
However, several merchant ships passed by during this period, and Qin Ge arranged groups of five people to escort the merchant ships through.
But even in this situation, Qin Ge did not let down his guard. Because his previous war experience told him that the most dangerous time is always the next second. And now everything seems calm, but it is just the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, when the afterglow of the setting sun gradually enveloped the sea, Wu Hao's voice came from the communicator on the command ship where Qin Ge was.
"Report to the Commander, a large Siren fleet has appeared at position 153 in the northeast of the sea!"
Immediately afterwards, Bumblebee's voice was heard from Qin Ge's communicator.
"Reporting to the commander, I have detected a large Siren fleet at the 153 position in the northeast of the sea area. There are also Siren humanoid units and fallen ship girls. Please send a fleet to support immediately."
When these two voices appeared on the command ship, Qin Ge's eyes, which were chatting and laughing with the ship girl, became sharp.
He quickly stood up from the sofa, walked quickly to the control panel of the command ship, picked up the communication device and said, "Wu Hao, you guys retreat quickly, ensure your own safety first, and don't do anything meaningless.
I will immediately arrange for the aircraft carrier to conduct airspace detection. In addition, you notify others to gather the fleet at the center and prepare for an encounter."
Wu Hao's voice appeared in the communicator, "Yes, Commander, we are not up yet, we are just observing from a distance, but the other side should also have an aircraft carrier, so now we are covering the retreat."
"Got it!" Qin Ge said immediately, and then he picked up the communicator on his body, "Hornet, you and Lexington's carrier-based aircraft conduct long-range reconnaissance, and at the same time retreat to the center, assemble with the fleet, and prepare for an encounter."
"Yes, Commander!" said Bumblebee.
After hanging up the communicators on both sides, Qin Ge turned around and looked at the ship girls approaching him, as well as Akagi and Kaga who were still sitting leisurely on the sofa.
"Everyone immediately get ready for battle. Aircraft carriers, destroyers, and cruisers will be launched immediately. The escort aircraft carriers will release their carrier-based aircraft and quickly join up with Hornet and the others to seize air superiority!
The rest of you, come with me and head northeast to join Li Chenming and his men, assemble the fleet, and prepare for battle!"
Qin Ge's order was very concise, and the ship girls responded very quickly. Without saying too much, they started to execute the order directly.
Watching the ship girls being launched into the water one by one and wrapping up all the command ship and aircraft carrier ship girls in a wheel-shaped formation, Hiei walked to the operating table, started the command ship, and then drove towards the 153 position together.
As the carrier-based aircraft roared, several carrier-based aircraft carriers also launched their carrier-based aircraft. After gathering into a carrier-based aircraft group, they quickly rushed towards the direction of 153.
After sailing for less than 20 minutes, Qin Ge's fleet encountered the fleet of Li Chenming and others. After honking their horns to signal each other, Li Chenming's fleet quickly joined Qin Ge's fleet.
Not long after Li Chenming and others joined the fleet group, Qin Ge and others encountered the patrol fleet of Bumblebee and others, as well as the fleet group retreating from Wu Hao.
After everyone returned to the team , the aircraft carrier girls have begun to compete for air supremacy with the opponent's aircraft carrier.
The roar of carrier-based aircraft gathered into one in the sky, and barrages of fire continued to appear in the air. From time to time, a carrier-based aircraft flashed with flames and fell into the sea below.
However, Qin Ge's training level still gives her the upper hand over this Siren fleet, so even though the number of carrier-based aircraft is less than that of the opponent, she still has an advantage in the fight for air supremacy.
Just as the battle for air supremacy was drawing to a close, Qin Ge's command ship was less than 40 nautical miles away from the enemy fleet.
Under the orders of Qin Ge and other commanders, all the ship girls gathered into a fleet group and rushed towards the Siren fleet with great momentum.
As the two fleets got closer and closer, accompanied by the blood-red setting sun, the sound of the wind on the sea disappeared without a trace.
On the deck of Qin Ge's command ship, two figures stood at the bow, watching the impending exchange of fire.
"Kaga, what do you think?" Akagi said lightly.
"A battle of the weak." Kaga looked straight ahead, his tone devoid of emotion.
"Hehe, maybe we are standing too high, so battles like this no longer interest us." Akagi smiled, not seeming to care at all.
"Kaga, remember that we went through this before, but do you think that Qin Ge's ship girl has grown a little too fast?"
Kaga's eyes narrowed, then he nodded, "Especially Guanghui..."
"Haha, it seems you have discovered it too." Akagi looked into the distance and couldn't help but smile.
