Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos
Chapter 198
The test was just beginning, and the roar of artillery fire could be heard on the calm sea.
Some weak admirals who did not leave in time were followed and attacked as soon as the test began.
There were also admirals who felt they were strong enough to stay near the island and compete for control of the island.
Fortunately, Island No. 5 was the farthest from the central Island No. 6, so there were the fewest admirals here.
Under Lexington's reconnaissance, Wei'an had already obtained the information he wanted.
There were a total of 22 admirals within a radius of 50 nautical miles of his fleet, of which only two had more than five warships, meaning that they led other admirals to compete for control of the island.
The remaining admirals were all with 2 to 3 warships.
A total of 15 admirals gathered near the island, and the others were drifting on the sea.
"Commander, there are warships coming towards us, two destroyers."
The reconnaissance Lexington suddenly reported and woke up Wei'an who was thinking.
"What is the speed? How far?"
"30 knots. 43 nautical miles."
"15 bombers, get rid of them, don't let them get close."
"Yes."
Yorktown, who was still observing the Lexington battleship, felt that the battleship under the plane started up again quickly.
At the same time, the lifting platform began to transport carrier-based aircraft to the deck, and 15 more aircraft were released in her surprised eyes.
This time she observed it closely, and her eyes could not be wrong, it was a bomber with bombs.
"This aircraft carrier has launched 15 more planes, bombers, and she has already launched 50 fighters!"
Yorktown, who had not forgotten his mission, reported Vian's information immediately.
"Can you launch additional bombers? Hood, where did you find this monster admiral!"
Washington said in surprise!
As the only department with three legendary aircraft carriers, the U-United Department is the only one who understands that the combat effectiveness of legendary aircraft carriers is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"Hood! You return Vian to our I-United Department. You intercepted him halfway! He should have belonged to our I-United Department!"
Veneto sat on the stool and watched Hood's silver teeth creaking.
"Then where were you when he needed you? It's too late now."
Hood, who had been smiling all the time, replied with a sentence that was all against Veneto.
As the first unlucky person to be operated on by Vian, when the Lexington bomber arrived, he only confirmed that it was a second-year admiral with the flag of the J-United Department.
A second-year admiral with two battleships can only be said to be relatively weak in the second year, and two destroyers can also show that he is quite good.
After getting the information of the referee near the opponent's battleship and looking at the 20 bombers that returned intact, Yorktown was surprised and added the score of two destroyers to Vian's score, a total of 2 points.
It took only 15 minutes for Lexington's bombers to go from departure to return, and the opponent didn't even see their people.
"Admiral Vian, it took 15 minutes to sink two destroyers without any damage."
Hearing Vian's results, many ship girls were no longer surprised. The aircraft carrier with a large number of bombers has an offensive capability that cannot be compared with their gunboats.
And now Vian has set his sights on several admirals who are competing for Island No. 5.
After all, the results of the assessment are based on the number of damaged battleships.
When Lexington's bombers were replenishing supplies,
"Go a little closer to Island No. 5, sail west, and keep a distance of 40 nautical miles."
"Commander, are you going to air strike the admiral on the island?"
"Well, such a large amount of points cannot be missed. After all, the guy from the J-United Department brought so many people, and the number of destroyed ships must be quite a lot. If we don't take some points today, the ones behind will be stronger admirals or those who stick together."
"Received."
At the same time, the order was transmitted to other warships, and a fleet quickly began to move positions.
Lexington also focused his attention on the admiral fighting on Island No. 5.
There were a total of 36 warships on both sides, 17 on one side and 19 on the other side, firing at each other at a distance of 5 nautical miles.
But what was unexpected was that the admiral on the 17th side had the advantage.
Because there was a light carrier among the warships on this side, and it also had a torpedo plane, it didn't approach the warship at all, and ran away after throwing torpedoes at close range.
Disrupt the formation and attack rhythm of the other side, and wait to be torpedoed if you don't dodge.
"Commander
Commander, what should we do? "
Listening to Lexington's report, Wei'an pondered.
Since the decision to attack has been made, then we must maximize the benefits and we must not make things easier for them.
Then we need to attack and destroy them.
And the admirals on both sides are J-linked and G-linked, which has nothing to do with him.
J-linked: one battleship, four heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, one light carrier, eight destroyers, a total of 17, and six admirals
G-linked: one battleship, one battlecruiser, one heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, 13 destroyers, a total of 19, and nine admirals
"First, hit the high-scoring ones, intervene directly, and destroy them first in order of the battleship scores. You can mobilize fighters in other positions to ensure air superiority. In order to succeed, all bombers will be released. "
"Received! "
Unfortunately, the distance between Vian and his fleet and the island was quite far, so the time for his gunboats to approach was much slower than that of the carrier-based aircraft.
So Yorktown, who had thought that Vian was going to leave after dealing with the admiral approaching him, saw a scene that made her speechless.
A larger number of bombers took off in front of her than before.
One, two, 10, 40, 60, 80.
The number of bombers released by Lexington exceeded the number of Yorktown hangars.
At the same time, the fighters she was observing in other airspace also saw Lexington's fighters moving quickly in one direction.
"My God, what a terrible aircraft carrier. "
The sky was filled with bombers like black clouds, and the shock they brought was incomparable.
She was an aircraft carrier, so she knew the power of Lexington even better.
Including fighters, a total of 110 carrier-based aircraft were launched, almost equal to one and a half of her.
Most of them were bombers, the most difficult bombers to obtain.
Because the direction of the Lexington's carrier-based aircraft was very purposeful, Yorktown, who had communications with other referees, already knew Vian's goal this time.
"Report, Admiral Vian may intervene in the battle between the J-Union and the G-Union for Island No. 5."
"How many warships do they have?"
"36."
"Then how many warships did he send over? How long did it take to arrive?"
Yorktown organized his words.
"No warships approached, only carrier-based aircraft from special aircraft carriers were sent."
