Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 882: Encirclement and Suppression War Exercise (4) Division

Glorious and Prince of Wales each led a team to support the fleets on the brink of collapse on both sides, and established communication links before arriving.

Warspite then began to move long distances with the remaining ships in order to try to get a chance to launch a flank attack.

However, all of this was overheard by Yang Sikang, so Huayuan and others began to make preparations in advance. At the same time, the two teams of Belfast and Huayuan on Yang Sikang's side were quietly approaching each other.

King George V's fleet, which was supposed to launch a raid now, also continued to move, maintaining its current 'invisibility'.

When Guanghui was about to rendezvous with the fleet ahead, Guanghui, who was supposed to speed up to rendezvous, frowned slightly and issued an order to slow down the fleet. At the same time, it released more reconnaissance aircraft to the surroundings and expanded the reconnaissance range.

The previous reconnaissance had been very safe and had not revealed any traces of the enemy, but Guanghui trusted his sudden intuition.

A few minutes later, a reconnaissance plane spotted the two light cruisers, and then lost contact the next second.

"Quejie and Sizhan Goddess, this is... George V!"

Guanghui's pupils shrank, and he suddenly looked up at the fleet that was coming to support him.

In order to maintain the front line and provide a stable support, the natural way to choose is to let the injured ships rotate down and come to meet them. She and Unicorn can provide some treatment and protection. Although it is not as good as the exaggerated repair ability of the opponent's female god, it can also allow the ship girls to maintain their combat effectiveness. After the reunion, the situation is naturally worth fighting.

But if...

"Be careful to dodge, beware of artillery fire, and use the mass-produced model as cover!"

Guanghui’s reaction was quick, but the next second, not only artillery shells flew over, but also carrier-based aircraft flying rapidly from the horizon.

At the same time, there was a noise in the communicator, and the next second a familiar voice rang out:

"Hello, Sister Guanghui. Although this is just a drill, it will still be painful if you get hit, so please be patient~"

“Terrible…”

Guanghui murmured something and smiled:

"I'd better return these words to you. I will never admit defeat to my sister, you are so awesome~"

The battleship's strafing shells smashed into the surrounding sea surface, but in the midst of the artillery fire, Glorious raised its hand and launched its own carrier-based aircraft. At the same time, Unicorn's carrier-based aircraft took off almost at the same time as Glorious. For a moment, the Royal Fleet's momentum caused by the sudden artillery bombardment, strafing and carrier-based aircraft air strikes was swept away, and their spirits were lifted!

But then, a completely unexpected fleet of ships appeared in the direction where Guanghui discovered the Goddess of War and Quejie, and was sure that George V was in.

The vanguard fleet was the White Eagle Fleet composed of Northampton, Harman and Laffey. On its side were indeed the Goddess of War and Quejie, but this fleet was clearly from the fleet previously commanded by Garden and Yorktown!

Realizing that he might have fallen into a trap, Guanghui responded without hesitation and decisively began to sacrifice his own carrier-based aircraft to buy space and opportunities for others to escape.

However, at the same time, another fleet appeared from their current side: a fleet led by George V, which had reduced some members but joined Helena, which was supposed to be on their side of the garden. Following behind it were several light ships including the Independence-class Princeton and San Jacinto!

The situation of fighting on two fronts has been formed in the blink of an eye, and it is not so easy to withdraw at this time.

Guanghui immediately chose to approach the small island next to it, making use of the sea conditions around the island and the cover effect of the island itself to maneuver. At the same time, it prevented the original front-line fleet from coming to rescue itself, and instead let them immediately harass the rear of Garden and Yorktown.

However, when the Glorious fleet was transferred, a faint Mind Cube energy swept across the sea, and then many of the Glorious fleet's fleets were forced to rapidly reduce their speed.

Without hesitation, Hikari clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. The next second, a translucent light shield appeared in front of the ship girls, blocking their opponent's attacks.

Unicorn's Yu-chan transformed into a real Pegasus and flew in the sky, bringing some healing to the royal ship girls.

But then, as if in response to the Unicorn's actions, the ship girls in Yang Sikang's fleet that had just suffered a slight counterattack were also affected by a similar healing effect.

"Perseus..."

Guanghui sighed slightly and covered the fleet as it quickly moved after the strange deceleration state caused by the terrible ended.

"As expected of Sister Guanghui, there is no flaw at all. I deliberately exposed my whereabouts, but I still couldn't completely deceive her."

Kewei sighed regretfully, while York City beside her said with a smile:

"After all, she is Guanghui. It is not so easy to make her suffer a great loss with this trick. However, the current situation is still in line with expectations. Zhenhai's tactical arrangement is very effective."

"Yes. But we are now exposed. What's going to happen next is probably..."

York City smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter. Huayuan has already brought South Dakota and the others to meet up with Zhenhai."

While Guanghui had fallen into the trap but was keenly aware of it, she did not forget to send a warning to the Prince of Wales and others on the other side.

Therefore, the Prince of Wales and Warspite also knew that Glorious had been attacked, and from Glorious's movements, they quickly determined Glorious's intentions, and based on this, they determined the approximate power gap.

It is not a wise move to forcibly rescue one's own members when they are surrounded by the enemy, but since the Glorious Fleet is surrounded, it means that for them, the opponent has their backs to them at this time!

George V and War-weariness both decisively chose to attack the rear, replacing rescue with attack.

But before they reached their position, the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side had already come head-on to meet them.

"Garden, South Dakota... If you are all here, does that mean Commander Yang's fleet is involved in the siege of Guanghui?"

The Prince of Wales was smiling and looked like he had everything under control.

Garden They also smiled, but did not answer George V's question. Instead, they began to attack after they entered each other's shooting range.

Because they had confirmed each other's positions, the movement directions and artillery targets of both sides were quite clear. But at the same time, how could Yang Sikang not have arranged other variables here?

When a large number of torpedoes attacked from beneath the sea, the Prince of Wales' pupils immediately shrank.

The three members of the submarine team in Yang Sikang’s fleet who had remained silent until now and had not taken any action were actually on her side!

At the same time, a beam-like attack came from behind. The Prince of Wales dodged without thinking, but it seemed very reluctant.

But in the next second, a slash flying from several kilometers away successfully intercepted the dye shell. A large amount of dye splashed on the sea surface and was then quickly decomposed by the sea water and turned harmless.

The Gu Diao launched the attack from the side ten kilometers away, but unfortunately, this sneak attack was discovered and successfully intercepted by Yan Zhan.

This is also the helplessness of the exercise. After all, if it is an actual combat, the main gun of the Gu Diao will not fire dyes but energy beams, which cannot be blocked by a long-range attack from the Warspite.

The Prince of Wales quickly arranged countermeasures, and the war-weary troops quickly came to join her.

On one side was a complete fleet of ship girls led by George V, and on the other side was only the lonely Gu Diao.

The Prince of Wales waved his sword and asked with a smile:

"Commander Yang, although the Gu Diao is indeed very powerful in actual combat, do you really want to let it directly fight us in the exercise?"
