Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 960 Regeneration ⑥ Collection

On the battlefield, as the battle lasted longer, the situation was developing in the direction that Yang Sikang had expected.

More and more enemy ships and more and more wreckage resulted in the time required for the enemy ships to restore their combat capabilities becoming shorter and shorter. Correspondingly, it became more difficult for the ship girls on his side to quickly destroy a target.

Human wave tactics appeared in the battle between ships. This absurd thing was extremely difficult to deal with once it happened.

Both Veal Goddess and Akashi have returned to the command ship. It is very dangerous for the two of them to perform emergency maintenance on the ship girls directly on the battlefield, and their safety can only be guaranteed by being next to the command ship.

Although Glory and Unicorn from the Royal side would provide some help from time to time, and Perseus was also never idle, the battle situation was still developing in a direction that was unfavorable to Yang Sikang and his men.

"Commander, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Yixian, who was receiving treatment, looked at Yang Sikang who came to visit him and said:

"The number of enemy ships is secondary. As their numbers increase, it is difficult for subsequent enemies to have an effective impact on our battle area. However, the condition of the agent is getting worse and worse. If we can't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid..."

Yang Sikang sighed and nodded:

"I understand. But under the current circumstances, this is the only way to do it."

Yang Sikang hurried back to the command room. In the previous battle, the Royal Fleet and the Garden Fleet were already in the nearby area. There was only a small number of enemies sandwiched between the three fleets.

"Garden, I need Neptune and Monarch."

"Understood. Give me ten minutes."

Garden answered briefly, and then immediately greeted:

"Essex, Fearless, the commander needs us to meet up with him and prepare to open the passage ahead!"

"Roger that!"

Several bald eagles took to the sky synchronously, quickly flying high into the sky amidst the barrage of artillery and machine gun fire.

As orders were issued one after another, even though Hua Yuan already had some marks of being attacked, he still waved his hands casually:

"Preparation complete, then, the assault begins!"

The flagship, the Garden, took the lead and cooperated with several battleships of the Massachusetts to protect the aircraft carrier in the middle, while the vanguard fleet was deployed on both sides to provide escort to prevent interference and enemy attacks.

Neptune and Monarch naturally moved forward side by side with the Garden. The light cruiser and two battleships tore through the enemy fleet blocking them and the commander in front at an extremely fast speed. The ships that were trying to recover after being destroyed would be warmly received by the light cruisers and destroyers on both sides and then sank into the sea.

The aircraft carriers' bombs and torpedoes were bombing the front in coordination with the speed of the entire fleet. The entire fleet seemed to be moving forward on the tail of the artillery fire.

"What a beautiful fighting style."

Hood on the battlefield muttered to himself, with a slight smile on his face. He turned around, raised his hand and shot the enemy down, then smiled briskly:

"It seems I have to work harder."

"Haha, it's rare that you would say that."

George V came over and helped Hood deal with another enemy, saying:

"Hood, come with me. We are going to the other side."

Yang Sikang's fleet and Huayuan's fleet soon successfully joined together under such a fierce offensive. At the same time as the two fleets joined together, they immediately launched a joint attack on other enemies around them. Under the attack from two directions, the enemy ships were quickly cleared, and the two sides successfully joined together.

After getting back together, the injured ship girls immediately retreated and waited for Vesta and Akashi to come and help with maintenance, while the ship girls in good condition quickly found suitable positions for themselves and joined the battle again.

From being divided into two to being merged into one, Yang Sikang's fleet has been concise and efficient in every aspect, and there is no need to make special arrangements for everyone to find a suitable position.

This was naturally noticed by the Royal Fleet, but now was not the time for them to be amazed.

"It seems that Commander Yang is serious about this. The two fleets have joined together. He is going to attack. Your Highness, War-weary, what should we do?"

"Retreat, retreat. Protect their rear routes while leaving room for a fight."

Yan Zhan said decisively that she was on the battlefield and as a soldier she immediately made the most favorable judgment on the battle situation. After her orders were passed down, no one would question her orders.

The royal fleet immediately took action, and Yang Sikang, who noticed this movement on the Gu Diao, laughed.

"As expected of you who are war-weary, you are so decisive."

Yang Sikang prioritized the situation of the ship girls through Bai Ze. With Jarvis, Janus and Perseus temporarily joining in to help with the preparations, the maintenance of the injured ship girls was quickly completed.

Yang Sikang took some time to come to the side of the ship, looked at Haman next to him and shouted:

"Haman, don't follow too fast when we charge later. Although your injuries are not serious, it is not a good habit to withstand the enemy's attacks head-on."

"what?!"

Harman didn't expect to be called out suddenly. He turned his head in panic and looked at Yang Sikang, then turned away with a red face:

"Haman can take care of himself. I don't want you to worry about him. Humph!"

"York City will be worried too."

"Humph!!"

Perseus, who was helping with maintenance as an aircraft carrier, finished his work on Harman at this time, looked up at Yang Sikang helplessly, and said coldly:

"Instead of standing on the side of a ship and shouting at us, why don't you go back to your command room and take a closer look at the intelligence? Are you so relaxed that you have nothing to do on the battlefield?"

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Actually, I came here to say something just by chance. Giving you this thing is the purpose of my coming here."

Yang Sikang looked to the side and saw Eldridge coming over, taking out a box containing ship equipment and throwing it down.

Perseus quickly caught the box. There was no time for ceremony on the battlefield, so she opened it directly, and inside was a ship uniform.

"Although it is a temporary modification, it is better to replace your damaged carrier-based aircraft, right?"

"Mind your own business. If you have the time, you should pay more attention to other people."

Perseus said as he accepted the ship equipment and then replaced some of his own damaged ship equipment.

Although replacement cannot restore the ship to its original state, it is always more reliable than damaged ship equipment.

Yang Sikang also knew Perseus's personality, so he didn't react to Perseus' words. He just smiled and quickly returned to the command room.

Even though Eldridge was by his side, a dangerous area like the side of a ship was not a place for a commander like him to stay for a long time.

It's just that Perseus's ship suit was damaged more seriously than others because the way the carrier-based aircraft flew was too dangerous. After all, she had to distract herself to provide treatment for her companions, and sometimes she had to take time out to do it herself. So Yang Sikang had no choice but to temporarily prepare a replacement ship suit for her in this way.

"Commander, preparations are complete and we can act at any time."

As soon as I came back, the sounds from the garden began to rise.

"Okay, then there's nothing to hesitate about."

Yang Sikang smiled:

"Let them see how powerful we are!"
