Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 100 Merchant Ship Rescue (2)

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Yang Sikang always kept these words in his heart, and this time was no exception.

A caravan ship was actually surrounded. This situation was obviously different from ordinary situations.

Yang Si Kangdang even asked Belfast to notify Essex that they must be careful, and especially warned not to break into the caravan for the time being. Reduce their pressure so that they don't have to wait for others to arrive.

The sea area where the incident occurred is relatively far from the home port, and the furthest range of the patrol team is probably here.

Moreover, Essex and others rushed over after receiving the signal, so the actual location was further than the patrol position.

When Yang Sikang and others arrived, the carrier-based aircraft in the sky were already flying towards the inside of the siren encirclement.

"Too much."

Yang Sikang frowned and muttered, and then said:

"Belfast, prepare to fight."

"Yes, Master."

Except for Javelin who stayed on the hull to protect Yang Sikang, the other ship girls jumped off the hull and unfolded their ship equipment.

Reputation and counterattack immediately released their firepower toward the front, and the battleship's main gun easily opened a gap against those mass-produced light cruisers.

"Don't go in yet."

Yang Sikang gave an order, and Sirius, who was about to rush over, suddenly stopped again.

Turning his eyes to the direction of the encirclement by the Siren ships, Yang Sikang arranged again:

"Essex, let your reconnaissance plane rush over to check on those people. The others are suppressing fire."

With the help of others, suppressing fire became much easier.

The reconnaissance plane flew over the battlefield at high altitude. Although the Siren's ships also had anti-aircraft firepower, as long as they appeared, they would be directly targeted by counterattacks waiting at the side at any time.

The reconnaissance plane successfully flew over the Siren's encirclement, and the images viewed by the Essex reconnaissance plane were synchronized to the tablet terminal in Yang Sikang's hand.

However, the moment he saw the ship protected in the center of the encirclement clearly, Yang Sikang's expression suddenly darkened.

The gorgeous hull, the towering cabin, and despite the protective firepower, the cannons mounted on the sides of the hull are more like part of the decoration than weapons. The entire ship uses a lot of glass and other fragile materials as materials, and there is even a swimming pool on the deck!

This is not a merchant ship at all, but a cruise ship! !

Behind the cruise ship were several ships that looked like cargo ships, but those were not so much merchant ships, but rather... provided supplies to the cruise ship.

"Is the royal prince coming to Baiying for a trip?"

Yang Sikang sneered and looked in that direction gloomily.

He is now thinking about whether he should just let these guys die here and do it in a grand manner using a cruise ship. These people are simply looking for death!

"Belfast, arrange a break-in to pick them out."

Seeing the ship girls around the cruise ship working hard to resist the sirens' attacks, Yang Sikang looked at the javelins around him, but still did not choose to let the cruise ship die.

Belfast quickly arranged the battle method, using the main gun salvos of Reputation and counterattack as a signal, and then used carrier-based aircraft to advance along the channel created by the two Reputations. Belfast then led the team directly Rush into it.

The risk of this is picking the opponent out, so there will be fewer people around Belfast the closer you get to the target.

Otherwise, if the sirens encircle them again, Belfast and the others will be surrounded as well.

And the pressure on other people on both sides during this process is not small.

Logically speaking, luxury cruise ships are not too weak in speed compared to ships.

But the problem is that the main purpose of cruise ships is to have fun, so most of them do not consider being shelled when designing and building them. As a result, defenses were weak and there were numerous fragile structures on board.

Especially the exaggerated cabin, the result of being bombarded was to be beaten to pieces.

He was too lazy to take care of issues such as the evacuation of the people on the ship. In order to ensure the safety of Belfast and the others as much as possible, Yang Sikang asked Essex and Independence to conduct intensive saturation bombing of the area in front of them. Just blow up a gap and then perform the break-in mission.

This process seems simple, but in fact it is not easy. The bombing has a great impact on the sea surface, and the wreckage of the Siren may also hinder the cruise ship's escape route. Therefore, the line of bombing must be well controlled.

Fortunately, Essex and Independence's training during this period was not in vain. They successfully blasted a gap according to Yang Sikang's expectations, and then Belfast took the opportunity to break into the interior.

Cleveland naturally followed Belfast and moved forward with them, which was why they were able to carry out such a risky operation.

The plan progressed smoothly, with shelling to clear the way and carrier-based aircraft to escort. With their superior firepower, Belfast and others led a team to break into the cruise ship.

However, after this point the plan stalled.

Belfast seemed to be communicating with the cruise ship. The exhausted ship escorts did not dare to put away their ship's equipment and were taking a breather. And Cleveland actually put away his ship's equipment and boarded the cruise ship!

During the battle, after putting away the ship's equipment and boarding the cruise ship, even a newcomer who knew nothing knew that there must be something wrong.

"Essex, let the reconnaissance plane fly twice around the cruise ship."

Observing the picture carefully, Yang Sikang determined that the cruise ship had not been attacked by a torpedo.

"Cleveland, what's going on?"

"It's a bit troublesome. One of the engines of the two ships carrying cargo behind was damaged."

"Is there anyone up there?"

"The people have been evacuated, but the things above cannot be taken away."

"Then just abandon it and bring the people out."

"No, that guy insisted on taking the things away. He said they were all his personal belongings."

"Personal belongings?"

A murderous intent flashed in Yang Sikang's eyes.

"What does he want to do?"

Cleveland on the other end was silent for a few seconds and sighed:

"He wanted us to clear out the sirens and call a boat to haul his stuff away."

"Ah."

Yang Sikang sneered:

"Cleveland, please return with Craven and McCall."

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"What?"

Yang Sikang's eyes were filled with murderous intent:

"Help him solve the problem. Reputation, counterattack, fire!"

"Wait a moment!"

Before Cleveland's shout could finish, the roar of naval guns was already heard.

The battleship's main gun fired a salvo, and a large number of shells fell directly around the cruise ship and cargo ship.

A large number of Siren destroyers were directly torn apart, and the rough waves on the sea caused the luxury cruise ships to sway crazily with the waves.

Cleveland's eyes widened. She completely understood what Yang Sikang meant by solving the problem.

"Wait! The man in the boat is a noble, we can't let him die here..."

"There is nothing that cannot die."

Yang Sikang decisively interrupted Cleveland and then said:

"Go in and find him again, give him the communicator, and leave the rest to me."

"…it is good."

Cleveland immediately got on board and entered the cabin. One minute later, an angry voice came from the communicator:

"What are you doing! Bastard, you almost killed me!"

"Shut up, bastard."

Yang Sikang's gloomy voice made the other party's roar stop abruptly. There was a strong murderous intention in his voice. Even if they didn't meet, this pampered aristocratic young man could not bear it.

After confirming that the other party shut up, Yang Sikang slowly said:

"Two options, either take your men and break out with my ship girls, or you and your personal belongings sink to the bottom of the sea. There is no third option. If I don't get an answer after 2 minutes, I will retreat. Cleveland, ready to return."

"receive."

Cleveland reluctantly took back the communicator and came to the cabin corridor before the man could react.

There are many people on the ship, but most of them have been moved to the lower cabin. The protection there is relatively better, and the probability of being directly blown up by shelling is also lower.

After waiting for more than a minute, Cleveland finally got a response:

"He agreed to evacuate! But..."

"No buts, take your men and leave immediately. Belfast, use torpedoes to sink the cargo ship that cannot escape."

Ten minutes later, Yang Sikang and the ship girls finally brought out the cruise ship and the surviving merchant ship.
