Fairy Tail: Start Awakening Devouring Magic

She was ready to defend herself early.

"Hood, that guy's reconnaissance plane is coming"

"Move fast. We can't let him know our current location. Shoot him down first."

"Guanghui, you should also prepare to attack. Don't let his other carrier-based aircraft get close."

"Received."

The shipgirls of the E-United Division acted in unison and aimed their guns at the fighter plane that was scouting over.

Seeing the fighter plane that was still ten nautical miles away, War-weary pursed her lips and closed one eye.

The next second, the two 380mm main guns on her front deck roared twice.

She opened fire.

On the other side, Lexington, who was operating more than ten carrier-based aircraft at the same time, heard the roar of the main guns and wanted to operate the carrier-based aircraft to dodge.

Then there were two more gunshots, and they followed different trajectories and headed straight for the fighter planes approaching Hood and the others.

As Lexington's first battle after the ship was materialized, she was still in the process of getting familiar with the operation of the carrier-based aircraft.

Not surprisingly, this carrier-based aircraft crashed.

"The commander discovered their location."

"Continue to mobilize fighters in other positions, follow closely, tell Gaga to prepare for the attack, your second batch of carrier-based aircraft can also take off, 60 aircraft."

While Vian was commanding, the fighters hovering on his own warship began to convey information about Hood and others to them.

Kokang and Shimakaze, who had deviated from the direction, immediately corrected their sailing direction and sailed towards the position assigned to them by Vian.

In the command room of Lexington, Vian looked at the sand table in front of him.

His advantage is that he has long arms and runs fast, so the position he arranged for Kokang and Shimakaze is just in front of the left and left of the Hood fleet.

According to normal expectations, Clemenceau, Yixian, and Shropshire will meet them head-on.

Xuefeng will block the sea area on their right alone.

Tactics specially formulated for this exercise.

Because the area where they are exercising this time There are limitations, so this dispersed arrangement can compress their navigation space.

At the same time, Saratoga and Lexington began to launch large numbers of carrier-based aircraft, the elder sister fighters, and the younger sister bombers.

On the other side, while launching fighters, Guanghui, who was maneuvering the flying fighters to counter-reconnaissance in the direction where the Lexington fighters had flown before, was a little annoyed.

She had just launched 4 fighters, and 10 carrier-based aircraft were roaring around her, and their purpose was very clear.

They didn't even get close to Hood and the others, but targeted her.

The Seafire she had just flown out was already fighting with the Gale.

Seeing the opponent's obviously clumsy operating skills, Guanghui immediately realized that it was not Saratoga who was operating...

"Hood, it was that guy's new aircraft carrier that came to scout, Saratoga hasn't made a move yet"

"This guy is a bit bad. I only had four fighter planes but he directly exchanged them for 10 planes. When I was about to operate a fighter plane to attack, his fighter plane that was closer to me directly crashed into me."

"He is using up my hangar, and air control is in trouble."

As she spoke, the four Spitfires that flew out had all crashed, and she destroyed seven Lexington fighters.

"We underestimated him. He used his advantage very well. He turned and headed straight in the direction of the plane."

"Time is not on our side now. If we lose air superiority, we will be attacked. Saratoga has bombing capabilities."

Hood said as he led the gunboats to turn and set off. At the same time, another fighter of the Glorious exchanged with three fighters of the Lexington.

The Glorious also adjusted the position of its warships and began to retreat in the opposite direction of the planes and retreated behind the gunboats to reduce the probability of her being attacked by the Vian warships.

"Commander, there are only 4 planes left from the first batch, and the second batch is on the way. Hood and the others have been misled and are heading towards Kokang and the others."

"Pin down the carrier-based aircraft of the Tejas, and don't let it fly out of the encirclement of Clemenceau and the others. You and Gaga head towards the direction of the snow breeze."

"The radar of the Kokang has detected the enemy fleet and is rapidly closing the distance between the two sides.

Looking at the Kokang Wei'an who might be breached next, he pondered for a moment.

"Yixian, don't move for a while. Shimakaze can go towards Hood and the others. Be brave and launch torpedoes to disrupt their progress."

"How long will it take for your fighter jet to arrive?"

"16 seconds to 2 minutes"

"We must suppress the Glory first. We cannot allow any of her carrier-based aircraft to escape."

Vian looked at the A-1 that was still taking off on the deck of the Saratoga.

"The third batch of 40 aircraft, let's go."

While Saratoga was still taking off, Lexington, which had an angled deck, had already launched its second batch of carrier-based aircraft.

While Lexington had launched 60 fighters, 34 Seafires had already taken off from the side of the Tejas, and without the slightest hesitation, they concentrated their fire on Lexington's carrier-based aircraft and destroyed them.

"The enemy's planes have been destroyed, and I am expanding the scope of reconnaissance as quickly as possible."

Without hesitation, Guanghui quickly sent her carrier-based planes out in a fan-shaped pattern just like Lexington did before.

She knew that if they stayed together, they would only be forced to take the beating and would not get any useful information.

They were now under Vian's nose, but they had not yet discovered any of Vian's warships.

But the next second she felt very uncomfortable, the suicide planes on the opposite side came again, and most of the targets they aimed at were her fighters flying in other directions.

And she discovered a major problem

""Hood, we seem to have underestimated this guy. His fighter is not right! It's so fast! My fighter flies at a speed of 540km/h, and that guy's plane is at least 640km/h."

Seeing the Lexington plane directly and roughly ramming into her, she had decided to give up the fight for air supremacy, which was impossible.

She just wanted to find the opponent's fleet as soon as possible and provide effective information to Hood and others. As long as the other gunboats were dealt with, the aircraft carrier would be waiting to be bombarded.

At the same time, she also had an illusion that her opponent was not a ship girl, but the deep sea.

Because Lexington's current use of fighters is very deep sea.

However, her scattered control method finally achieved results. Although a small number of fighters did not get rid of the Gale Modified J that was chasing them, they also detected useful information.

"Hood, there is a destroyer of that guy right in front of you, and there is also one in front of your left!"

The direction of this fighter plane is exactly where Kokang and Shimakaze are.

"Commander, the Glory has given up the battle for air superiority and has dispersed its fighter group for reconnaissance."

"None of Xuefeng's fighters can be released. They must be blocked. She can't be found by her."

"Let Gaga bomb the Prince of Wales directly"

"Kokang, Shimakaze, fire all your torpedoes, fire them when they are ready, retreat while firing, Yixian, Shropshire fire torpedoes, cut in from the side of their fleet at the same time"

"You and Jiajia follow Xuefeng, we will give Guanghui a surprise."
