Chapter 280

The gray world seemed to have some colors, and some fragmented memories that had been hidden deep in my heart emerged in my mind.

The whistling sound of the sea breeze echoed in Essex's ears again. She stood up and looked blankly at the battlefield covered by artillery fire.

Firepower coverage has always been one of the Siren's favorite tactics, and when the battle situation is determined and the enemy is beaten, the Siren will make full use of this advantage.

There was only overwhelming artillery fire in the field of vision, and the battle formations of the ship girls were torn to pieces under the attack of artillery fire.

The Azur Lane fleet, without a command system, fell into a situation of fighting on its own and was in danger under the attack of the Siren.

At this time, what would my sister do?

Essex didn't have time to think about it. She quickly contacted the carrier-based aircraft in the air, and at the same time released all her reserve carrier-based aircraft, rose to a high altitude, and began to obtain a view of the entire battlefield.

The chaotic battlefield and the armies fighting on their own made Essex completely at a loss as to how to start.

Only then did she realize how difficult Shangri-La's work had been.

All along, commanding an entire air fleet to defeat the enemy was Essex's limit, or what she thought was her limit.

It was precisely because her sister protected her so well that she had always set such low standards for herself.

Those difficult things, those difficult decisions, and those things that could not be done would all be settled one by one in Shangri-La's hands.

Now that this person is gone, she needs to take over the burden of the other party.

"Essex, you can't just be a pioneer of an air fleet. You are an aircraft carrier. You have to have the entire battlefield in your eyes!"

In the past, Shangri-La's nagging in her ears made her a little overwhelmed, but now she only regretted why she didn't listen more at that time.

She searched for the few words in her memory, relying on those scattered fragments, and began to issue orders one by one.

The most urgent task is to reunite the scattered and independent combat teams.

Essex began to command the battle in a methodical manner according to the knowledge in her memory.

Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, and forty or fifty different instructions were issued every second.

The fleet of Azur Lane began to slowly integrate and retreat, and by retracting the defense line, began to reunite the defeated fleet step by step.

Although it was still in danger under the attack of the Siren, fortunately, it finally barely maintained the battle situation.

Next, it was time to consider retreat, but how to retreat?

Fighting was definitely unwinnable, Essex knew it well, and the only way left was retreat.

But it was not easy to retreat at this point in the battle. If you were not careful, retreat would turn into a complete defeat.

What's more, the commander of the Siren was not a fool. Judging from the current situation, the other party obviously wanted to completely defeat the fleet of Azur Lane here and would not let them go easily.

The other side has been waiting to tear off a large piece of flesh from them!!!

Essex's mind was full of ideas, and one plan after another was rejected by her.

Damn it, if only the carrier-based aircraft formation could launch another wave of air strikes and get a chance to retreat.

But Essex also knew that this was impossible. The carrier-based aircraft formation that had just launched a wave of air strikes with all its strength had reached its limit. The carrier-based aircraft that had been restored with great difficulty had not yet formed a scale, so it needed to be re-invested in the battlefield and cooperated with the anti-aircraft firepower of ground ships to prevent the Siren's carrier-based aircraft from counterattacking. Otherwise, the fleet of Azur Lane would have collapsed long ago.

All the forces were used.

Essex couldn't think of any good way at all, so she had to stabilize the situation by shrinking the front line.

The Purifier who saw this scene frowned slightly. She originally thought that the fleet of Azur Lane was close to collapse and the overall situation was set, but she didn't expect it to stabilize again.

Although the situation of defeat did not turn around, it was not like a headless fly at the beginning, unable to fight back and could only passively take the beating.

The Purifier frowned as she watched this scene. She, a Purifier, also wanted to save face.

I thought that Weiwei's attack was the limit of Azur Lane, but I didn't expect these ship girls to be so tenacious.

The commander-in-chief was killed by me, but they could still launch a decent counterattack. It was really a fight of trapped beasts.

The corners of the Purifier's mouth curled up slightly. These ship girls would not give up until the last moment.

Since the Siren had deployed such a large force this time, even IOnce they were dispatched, they would not be able to finish the mission hastily. At least they had to teach the shipgirls of Azur Lane a lesson.

As for the Clearer, his brain was indeed a little dumber than his own, but one thing he said was true: after so many years of observation, Azur Lane had been given so many opportunities, but the possibility that they had always wanted to see, born on the shipgirls and able to surpass their Sirens' evolutionary direction, had not yet appeared.
