Azure: Now that everyone has a ship girl, who wants a girlfriend?

Chapter 252 Shooting down B52

Shangri-La's eyes turned to Saratoga again.

As the White Eagle's aircraft carrier, everyone knows what the Saratoga is like.

With a displacement of 4 tons, it is considered a relatively large aircraft carrier among White Eagles.

But when they saw the 10-ton hull of Saratoga, they were still shocked.

But because the war was urgent, no one came to ask.

At this moment, their curiosity about Ning Le had reached its peak.

"Tsk, the ship just got bigger, what's the good of that?"

On another radio channel, there is only an unnamed ship.

Ningle was also very curious, why these unnamed ships had to use another radio channel separately?

Among these World War II ship girls, it is difficult to monitor other radio channels, but in front of Ningle, this is nothing.

Saratoga is not only powerful in combat, but the Ford-class modification plan has also made great improvements to Saratoga's electronic warfare capabilities.

"That commander named Ningle seems to be able to make the ship's hull bigger."

"Yes, we all know Saratoga very well. She only has a 4-ton hull. How did she become 10 tons?"

"And her destroyer, my god, a 2-ton destroyer, how big is that?"

Apparently this was a discussion among a group of small destroyers.

"What's there to envy? Didn't the research institute also find a way to make the ship bigger? But only the ship became bigger, the weapons remained the same."

"It is easier to be spotted, and the armor on the hull has become thinner."

"I think this commander is just too vain."

Ning Le heard these conversations, but just smiled and didn't even pay attention.

At this moment, Ning Le is no longer the impetuous young man, but the supreme ruler of the entire camp.

"Prepare air defense."

came Essex's voice over the radio.

Essex was responsible for the fleet's outer air defense detection during this mission.

Through carrier-based aircraft, she had discovered a large number of enemy aircraft approaching 20 kilometers from the fleet.

"Everyone prepare for air defense."

Hearing that the enemy was coming, Shangri-La no longer worried about it, but focused on dealing with the incoming Siren fighter jets.

"Saratoga, take off and intercept."

Ningle also gave an order. 20 kilometers is only a few minutes for a heavy carrier-based aircraft like the F18.

These two F18s are loaded with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.

Including the racks on the wing tips and the fuselage, the F18 can carry 11 air-to-air missiles.

It’s not because the missiles are too heavy, but because the F18 only has these 11 racks.

"High-altitude units spotted, bombers."

The F18 quickly climbed to an altitude of 1.5 meters, and only when it reached a distance of 5 kilometers from the enemy could it see the full picture of these bombers.

The all-black body is matched with blue luminous lines.

The overall feeling is very sci-fi.

But this sci-fi paint job uses traditional propellers.

The design of the entire bomber is a bit like the B52, but it is twice as large as the B52. Obviously, it has been modified by Siren.

24 bombers formed a formation and approached the crowd.

"Commander, are you going to shoot them down?"

Saratoga became a little excited after seeing the target.

Strictly speaking, all the aircraft carriers present were descendants of the Saratoga.

Saratoga really wants to show off its strength in front of the younger generation.

"Don't worry, just see how they attack."

Obviously, this group of bombers has discovered Ningle's fleet.

And it's still decreasing in altitude.

"The modified B52 can fly to 1.5 meters. I didn't expect the Arbiter's technology to be so advanced."

1.5 meters is the maximum ceiling of the F18.

If it is higher, the J-16 will need to be deployed.

But if such a large ship is deployed, will it scare the small ship girls here?

"Well, is it true that Kewei is too fat?"

Ning Le looked at Kewei who was standing behind him.

"What's wrong? Commander, do you need me to attack?"

"No, you are not needed for the time being."

Ningle's most powerful ship girls did not deploy their ships.

Neither the two mechanical dragons nor the marine combat platform were deployed.

But if it's just Saratoga, it's enough.

Soon the modified B52 entered the fleet's air defense range.

"Should we start?"

From the perspective of the F18, Ningler observed the movements of these B52s.

At the same time, air raid sirens sounded on the radio channel.

"The enemy aircraft is descending. Target altitude, meters."

bang bang

The anti-aircraft guns opened fire.

The sound of the 127mm MK12 was heard. This large-caliber anti-aircraft gun has a maximum firing altitude of over 1 meters.

However, without the support of guidance and fire control radar, the hit rate is worrying.

"That's really the Siren way."

Ningle originally thought that these anti-aircraft guns could not hit these bombers at all.

But I didn’t expect that Siren’s IQ was really low.

The bomber had no intention of changing its route and just flew straight towards the fleet.

The anti-aircraft guns set up a fire net with black clouds in front of them, and the bombers just crashed straight into them.

“It was shot down?”

Ning Le was shocked.

Are the IQs of the Sirens here so low?

Even those Siren mass-produced ships will dodge when attacked.

But these bombers had no intention of dodging at all.

"Hahaha, San Diego is number one in the world."

As the main air defense force of the White Eagle, the San Diego is equipped with 8 twin 127mm MK12 dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns.

The anti-aircraft firepower network formed by them shot down the lowest-flying B52 modified bomber.

The hit B52 gradually lowered its altitude, trailing black smoke.

Seeing that the anti-aircraft guns were effective, the other White Eagle ship girls worked even harder.

The 127mm MK12 dual-purpose gun is commonly equipped in the White Eagle camp.

Most battleships and cruisers use this type of secondary guns.

Some light cruisers use it as main guns.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the White Eagle camp's air defense is the strongest among all camps.

Yang Fan couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Everyone says that the White Eagle's ship girl has good air defense, but I didn't expect it to be this good."

The B52 is known as the Stratospheric Fortress, not only because of its flying altitude, but also because of its high fuselage strength.

However, it is obvious that most of the ship girls sent by White Eagle this time have excellent air defense capabilities.

Ships like Helena, Hamman, and Santiago, who are mainly responsible for air defense, were sent here.

Unfortunately, the B52's flying altitude was too high, and after they were lucky enough to shoot down one in San Diego, they didn't achieve any other results.

"Damn it, they're flying towards the White Eagle headquarters."

Ningle never waited for these strategic bombers to launch an attack on the fleet, and he also came to his conclusion.

"I guess they are just passing over the fleet. These bombers are targeting the White Eagle headquarters."

At the White Eagle headquarters, he did not see any land-based anti-aircraft weapons, only simple coastal defense artillery.

"I'll contact headquarters immediately."

In this situation, we can only notify the headquarters and ask them to be careful.

"Gaga, take off another F18."

Just now everyone's attention was on air defense, and the two F18s that Ningle took off did not attract much attention.

Now, the remaining 23 B52s have escaped the attack range of everyone's anti-aircraft guns, and the sound of the F18 taking off has also attracted everyone's attention.

"What kind of plane is that?"

The jet made a lot of noise when taking off, and Saratoga deliberately let the F18 stay on the deck for a while before ejecting it.

"So fast."

As an aircraft carrier, Shangri-La can clearly feel the horror of this carrier-based aircraft.

Although they could not recognize what an air-to-air missile was, the handsome appearance of the F18 still attracted the attention of all the aircraft carriers present. Saratoga circled over the fleet as if to show off, then turned on the F18's afterburner and left after reaching supersonic speed.

The terrifying sonic boom stimulated the nerves of every ship girl present.

The main bodies of the ship girls are warships. As mental projections, who would not be curious about such a powerful and mysterious weapon?

For a moment, Saratoga felt that she was doing well again and won the attention of a large crowd.
