Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 881: Encirclement and Suppression War Exercise (3) Strategy

Training ground, on the Gu Diao.

Yang Sikang looked at the real-time feedback on the screen and shook his head.

Having a huge advantage in numbers does not mean that one side is in advantage. Warspite and the Prince of Wales are obviously aware of this. Unfortunately, the opposing commanders participating in the exercise do not seem to understand this.

Both Garden and Belfast chose to use mines to temporarily distract and attract the opponent's attention, and then use surprise attacks to disrupt the opponent's initial attempt.

The opposing teams gave different responses, and the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side quickly made different arrangements for them.

While this may not seem like a problem at first glance, there is actually a serious problem:

These commanders who were the opponents in the exercise had so far suffered two rounds of raids and three interferences from the ship girls on his side. The entire battlefield was on the verge of collapse and could turn into a melee at any time, but no one tried to step forward and contact the fleets in other directions to make overall arrangements.

It is true that the Royal Fleet had the headquarters ship girls such as Warspite, Prince of Wales, and Glorious at the rear. However, since they had not yet participated in the battle and had not yet commanded the battlefield, facing the current situation of being pulled and consumed unilaterally, it was definitely a bad situation without anyone standing up to guide a direction.

For example, now Garden and Yorktown can even pull the battle line into the attack range of the opponent's vanguard fleet. As an aircraft carrier, Yorktown is at a distance that should be dangerous, but no one can actually threaten her.

"It's so ugly."

The monarch said coldly, Yang Sikang came back to his senses and smiled:

"It was indeed an ugly fight. No one was in command. Everyone was just trying to solve the small problems in front of them, but as a result, they allowed the small problems to accumulate and become big problems."

Yang Sikang sighed and looked at a blank area on the map with a slightly gloomy look.

“Princeton, San Jacinto.”

In the communication channel, the two Qinghang responded immediately. Yang Sikang sent them the coordinates and said:

"Send a reconnaissance plane to fly in these two directions to attract the attention of our opponents. George V, lead the team to the coordinates I sent you. The specific action arrangements after arriving there will be decided by you for the time being. Contact Huayuan or Zhenhai when cooperation is needed."

"Understood, Commander. What about you?"

Yang Sikang smiled slightly and his eyes fell on another coordinate point.

"Neptune, the Monarch, and I will go find the Prince of Wales and the others."

George V immediately understood his intention, a smile appeared on his face, and he replied:

"As you command, Commander."

The communication ended and George V looked around.

Princeton was right next to her. Although her voice was very calm when she received the order just now, at this moment she was swinging the sword in her hand gently and rhythmically, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

San Jacinto on the side still looked cheerful, not like she was on the battlefield at all, but the almost overflowing Mind Cube energy on her ship proved that she was not as calm as she seemed.

"Looking at it this way now, it seems as if our entire fleet is like a war maniac."

Howe whispered, and George V smiled and said:

"After all, this is our fleet's first exercise at the Royal Palace, and it's such a special exercise. The strength accumulated so far and the fighting spirit accumulated in the training exercises should not be underestimated. Moreover, the results of our exercise this time will affect the commander's evaluation here."

The communicator was connected to the squadron's channel. George V drew his sword and said loudly:

"Everyone, the opportunity to demonstrate our strength is right before us. The order has been issued. We have only one goal, to complete the commander's goal and destroy our opponents! Now, advance to the battlefield!"

The ship girls around the Gu Diao quickly left, and among the ship girls who went to the battlefield with them was a somewhat special one: Perseus.

After they left, the Gu Diao was the only ship left here.

"Then, it's time for us to head to our battlefield."

As soon as Yang Sikang finished speaking, the Gu Diao began to turn, then quickly increased its speed and began to move away from the area.

The reconnaissance planes of San Jacinto and Princeton attracted the attention of some of the enemy's ship girls and commanders. In the now chaotic battlefield, these reconnaissance planes were not actually very conspicuous, but that also made their actions of leaving quickly after being discovered seem more normal.

There were many commanders in the royal fleet who had a certain understanding of Yang Sikang's fleet structure, and at least the information communication between them was normally smooth. And because Yang Sikang did not attempt any signal interference, these communications even seemed a bit casual.

So casual that they didn't even notice someone was eavesdropping on their communication channel.

George V led his fleet to encircle a safe route from the outside, using the surrounding obstacles and the "wreckage" on the battlefield as cover to conceal the whereabouts of his fleet. Their "invisibility" on the radar system was accomplished by Helena, who quietly approached here, in cooperation with Bai Ze.

Compared with directly interfering with and blocking the opponent's communication system, this kind of silent intrusion, eavesdropping and interfering with radar is more difficult, but the effect is also very good.

Because several reconnaissance planes with strange movements were discovered before, the Royal Fleet judged that the remaining ships in Yang Sikang's fleet that had not participated in the battle were about to join the battle, so they began to move to a safe direction to avoid being caught in the dilemma of fighting in multiple directions.

However, this is exactly what George V wanted to see, because the direction in which the Royal Fleet was now moving was exactly the 'pocket' she wanted them to get into.

While things were going smoothly here, in the rear of the Royal Fleet, in the headquarters fleet near the edge of the exercise area, War-weary shook his head helplessly:

"The response was acceptable, but unfortunately there was a huge gap in adaptability and understanding of the opponent. Also, no one stepped forward to command the overall situation, which is also a big problem. There is no way, although it is a bit early, we should also enter the game. After all, this is also our home court, and we cannot lose too badly."

"That's true, but after the drill we have to strengthen the actual combat training. If the encirclement and suppression war turns out like this, no matter what the result is, we have already lost."

George V said this helplessly, but she had already drawn her sword.

Finally, the royal headquarters fleet led by Warspite, Prince of Wales and Glorious entered the battlefield at almost the same time as Yang Sikang!
