The battle had unknowingly reached its climax. It was clearly a drill, but both the javelin and Lefay were on fire.
Chen Ming was very pleased. The data of Lefay's hull was continuously transmitted to his electronic equipment, allowing him to have a better understanding of Lefay's actual combat data.
Benson-class destroyer DD-459 Lafite, length 106.07m, width 10.82m, draft 3.6m, maximum speed 36 knots, endurance 15 knots 6000 nautical miles, side armor 20/19.5mm, deck armor 13.5mm.
Equipment: SC-radar, MK12 fire control radar, MK22 altimeter radar, four single-mounted 127mm cannons, five Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns, five 530/533mm torpedoes.
After displaying the basic data of the modified Lafite, it also displayed some of the actual combat situations.
When the side armor was hit by armor-piercing bullets with a caliber of 150mm or less, it would consume 2% of its durability, and when it was hit by high-explosive bullets, it would consume 1.7% of its durability. Shrapnel damage halved. For every 100mm increase in the caliber of the cannonball, the damage received would double. The higher the thickness of the armor, the higher the probability of ricochet.
Torpedo hit the side armor belt, 35% durability consumed. When the hull is ignited by incendiary bombs, 0.1% durability will be lost every second. If the durability of [Ship Maiden] is lower than 5%, the summoning of the ship will be canceled.
When Chen Ming saw the last sentence, it was actually a little heavy. In the battle videos that Chen Ming had seen in the Navy Admiral Academy, the battle between [Ship Girl] and [Siren] was extremely intense. Often, when the [Ship Girl] removed the hull, it would be attacked by the [Siren]. The remaining 5% durability of [Ship Girl] could not withstand such an attack.
After all, this was a war, not a game. To the enemy, it was better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers. The same could be said for the humans.
War was like a meat grinder. When the battle entered a tug-of-war, it was a competition of logistics and resources. Now, the battle between humans and the Siren was a tug-of-war.
In a large-scale battle, the common tactic of humans was to organize a group of low-level destroyer to light up the [Siren] and release torpedoes. This group of destroyer was human cannon fodder. After absorbing the dense damage from the [Siren], they often fell asleep in the sea.
After that, the torpedoes would approach Siren's fleet and disrupt their formation. At the same time, when the destroyer was dispatched, the aircraft carrier would release a large number of aircraft to carry out suicide bombing. After the aircraft carrier [Ship Mother] consumed all the aircraft, it was time for the cruiser and battleship to attack.
This tactic was mainly to sacrifice the destroyer and aircraft carrier, and repel the enemy through the intensive artillery of the cruiser and battleship. Although it could achieve great results in actual combat, Chen Ming felt particularly distressed every time he saw those nameless Destroyers rush into the enemy camp without hesitation.
However, Chen Ming couldn't change anything. These were all things that could be decided by the senior officers of the UA. All Chen Ming could do was protect his [Ship Girl].
This was also the reason why Chen Ming wanted to change Lefay's attitude. This was also the reason why Chen Ming let Lefay fight with the javelin. Because only then could he better protect his [Ship Girl].
At this moment, Lefay and the javelin were very close. Chen Ming could even see the javelin in Class-A making faces at him without using binoculars. However, perhaps because of the fire on the javelin, her clothes were a little messy and torn.
After all, the things on the [Ship Girl]'s body were constructed using the energy in the Mind Rubik's Cube. Now that the battle was at its climax, everyone's energy was severely depleted, and the only thing that showed was their messy clothes and damaged ship armor. However, he would be able to slowly recover after soaking in some recovery fluid.
When the javelin slowly approached Lefay, Chen Ming seized the opportunity and ordered,"Lefay, use the 533mm torpedoes that you switched to before. Deflect them 15 degrees and release the straight-line torpedoes.”
Lefay nodded, and the torpedoes in the middle of the ship began to spin. Torpedoes shot out of the tubes one by one, drawing five white lines in the water and shooting at the javelins. Since the javelin was very close to Lefay, Chen Ming knew that he could not dodge it.
Indeed, it was too late for the javelin to turn now. Because the distance was too close, no matter how the javelin accelerated or decelerated, it could not escape the fate of being hit by the torpedoes.
Hence, the javelin used the most extreme method. She directly removed her own hull by force. Since the warm-up phase of the ship was not activated, the javelin probably could not summon the ship today.
After the javelin was removed from the hull, her humanoid maneuver naturally would not be hit by the torpedoes. The javelins equipped with the [Ship Girl] suit could still float on the surface of the sea.
The javelin cut through the water and jumped up from the surface of the sea, directly jumping onto Lefay's Class A. As soon as it came up, it started complaining,""Commander, you're too much. Also, didn't Lefay release torpedoes before? Why did Lefay still have torpedoes?”
Indeed, after the javelin had released the torpedoes, Lefay had also released the torpedoes. Then, javelin thought that Lefay had no torpedoes, so she boldly prepared to fight with Lefay.
Javelin did not expect Chen Ming to have a hidden card up his sleeve. After all, Chen Ming had not told anyone about the two technology boxes and dozens of bottles of oil that he had found in the warehouse in the port area.
Seeing that javelin was wet and his clothes were a little tattered, and that javelin was still pouting angrily, Chen Ming took out the towel he had prepared earlier and walked over to wipe javelin's head.
"Previously, I got a Torpedo Launcher, so I gave it to Lafite.”Chen Min said as she wiped the javelin's short blue hair.
" The commander is too sinister." The javelin was still a little angry, but it did not break free from Chen Ming. Instead, it enjoyed the treatment. It looked like a girl pretending to be angry in front of her boyfriend.
On the other side, Lefay found a bucket from somewhere and suddenly poured the entire bucket of water on herself. Then, she walked over and tugged at Chen Ming's sleeve, saying,"Commander, Lefay is also wet.”
Ming felt a little helpless. Since when did Lefay learn to act cute? Also, didn't Lefay not like people touching her head?
However, since Lefay said so, Chen Ming couldn't refuse. He could only dry Lefay's hair.
Lefay closed her eyes and said,""Lefay won."
"Eh?" "Didn't you secretly hide a set of torpedoes?" You won because you cheated."
Lefay shook her head and rubbed it against the handkerchief in Chen Ming's hand."The javelin-jam hit Lefay's armor and deck 13 times. Lefay lost 26% of its durability. However, Lefay had hit the javelin 17 times. Even though there were 3 broken bullets, plus the 5 seconds of fire, the javelin should have lost 27% of its durability. So Lefay won."
" Hmph." Javelin was not convinced." It's just a fire control radar." The number of cannons in the javelin is more than yours. When it comes to boarding battles, the javelin can deal more damage.”
"I can still light a fire. You've already used the damage control. When the time comes, I'll light three fire javelins and it'll be very uncomfortable.”" And I still have torpedoes," Lefay retorted." There's no way javelin-chan can win."”
"Alright, stop arguing." Chen Ming stopped their argument."Right now, this is just a drill. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but when you're on the battlefield, don't allow the enemy to approach you.”
"Eh, but on the battlefield, we are all fighting the enemy in close combat.”Javelin was confused." The previous strategy was to let our destroyer go up first to resist the damage. We have better mobility and can avoid many shells. Moreover, the closer the distance of the torpedoes, the higher the hit rate. Why did the commander say not to let us get close to the enemy?”
"Maybe it's because of the difference in tactical command concepts.”Chen Ming folded the wet towel in his hand and thought of the Navy Destroyer Tactical Guide. He said,"The durability of the destroyer should be very low, and the thickness of the armor is not good. If it is hit by a battleship on the battlefield, it may be beaten back to the [Ship Girl] form. At this time, facing the concentrated firepower of the enemy's aircraft and warship's secondary cannons, can you rely on 5% durability to escape?”
"There is no victory without sacrifice." "Commander, you're new here, so you probably haven't seen a large-scale battle before," said Javelin. The commander of the javelin had participated in the Battle of the Bering Strait before. At that time, if there was no battle with the destroyer sisters, how could we guarantee the safety of the Arctic resources?”
"Destroyers sacrificing speed to resist damage is wrong. There should be cruisers on the battlefield releasing smoke to confuse the enemy, using reconnaissance planes and radars to find the enemy's position and fire. Destroyers should use their own mobility to flexibly reach the place where the torpedoes are released.”
"It's useless." " The Sirens don't find their enemies with their eyes," said the javelin." They can sense the special energy of the Rubik's Cube of Mind in the surrounding waters and attack it. The stronger the energy, the more concentrated the fire. If the cruiser sisters went up, they would leave this world in one round of fire.”
Chen Ming found it hard to believe. So this was how [Siren] found her enemies? In the past, the admiral school only taught how to arrange a fleet to cooperate with the operation, but they did not teach the combat mechanism of the Siren.
It seemed that he had thought wrongly.
At this moment, the communicator in his bag suddenly rang.
Commander, there's a call for you." Raffel pulled Chen Ming's hand.
"Oh." Chen Ming came back to his senses and picked up the communicator in his hand to answer the call."Hello, this is Lieutenant Chen Ming. Who is this?”
"Chen Ming, where are you?" Liang Shiqin's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little anxious.
"I'm about 20 nautical miles east of the East Island.”Chen Ming replied.
"The fleet that Liu Hao and the others went out for daily patrol has disappeared. We can't contact them at all. My [Ship Girl] is currently out on a resource handover mission and hasn't returned yet. Liang Shiqin said.
