Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 244 Unexpected Combat Power

Three days later, it was time for the exercise.

After three days of fermentation, the news has already reached the point where everyone knows it.

However, since it is an exercise involving an aircraft carrier after all, ordinary people cannot watch it from close range.

But this did not stop them from forming a group near the entrance to the port area, anxiously waiting for the first-hand news.

However, Yang Sikang at the port silently looked at a certain ship girl not far away, thinking that reporters outside would have no chance to get first-hand news.

No matter how fast they go, there is no chance of them being faster than the ship girl who is keen on news reporting.

But thinking of this, Yang Sikang also thought that maybe the ship girls would not report it themselves. After all, if they reported the loss, they would be resented by the First Air Battle.

Yang Sikang couldn't help but smile, and York City also stood beside him.

"Commander, are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

"This is the result of careful consideration, and I believe you will not lose."

York City smiled helplessly, but still looked at the command ship with some concern.

"Commander, the ship equipment you have prepared is indeed very powerful, but... it is still a bit too dangerous for you to personally participate in the exercise. If an accident occurs..."

"Even if there is an accident on the training ground, there will be no life-threatening danger. Isn't that just right? I don't plan to be absent during actual combat anyway. More practice exercises may save my life during actual combat."

"So why don't you consider being at the rear like the other commanders?"

"That's not my style. Okay, the drill is about to begin."

"clear."

Players from both sides entered the arena, and on Shigesakura's side, it was no surprise that Ichihang fought.

Akagi and Kaga stood side by side on the sea, but Yang Sikang caused an uproar when he appeared on the stage.

The reason is very simple. Although Yang Sikang unexpectedly sent York City, who was the same ship girl as Akagi Kaga, the other ship was his own command ship.

And after arriving at the exercise venue, Yang Sikang came out of the command room, stood at the front of the deck, smiled and waved to the carrier-based aircraft in the sky.

As the commander, Yang Sikang actually drove his command ship to the training ground in person. This was something that no one expected.

Akagi and Kaga also discovered this, and they remained silent without saying anything.

But Kaga had silently taken off his mask and held it in his hand, and Akagi's eyes became more dangerous.

Although the USS Santiago light cruiser has advantages in air defense, it also depends on who is fighting whom.

It was just a mass-produced San Diego, and the person operating it was Yang Sikang, a commander.

No matter how easy to control the mass-produced model is, no matter how many strategies it has, when it comes to controlling the actions of the mass-produced model, it is impossible for ordinary people to make the mass-produced model as flexible and responsive as a ship girl.

There is no doubt that the smaller the scale of the war, the higher the requirements for hard power.

What's more, Yang Sikang's fleet clearly has candidates who can replace the command ship. The only explanation is that he did it on purpose.

Chicheng's eyes swept across the viewing area outside the exercise venue. The ship girls under Yang Sikang gathered together, but none of them seemed to have any special reaction to Yang Sikang's personal participation in the battle.

York City was still standing on the deck of the command ship with no intention of coming down, and the time was already approaching the agreed time for the start of the war.

For this particular exercise, no one shouted to start, the only signal was the agreed time.

The Santiago was a light cruiser, but Yang Sikang had no intention of moving the ship forward.

Soon, time is up.

The shikigami, as red as blood, was waved out, and then turned into carrier-based aircraft and roared away.

The same goes for Kaga on the side, but compared to Akagi who was standing there, she couldn't wait to start moving closer to the enemy.

Yang Sikang's fleet, York City, is also an aircraft carrier, and although his own command ship is a light cruiser, it is only a mass-produced type.

Kaga had no intention of turning this exercise into a pure battle between carrier-based aircraft. She made up her mind to rush in front of the opponent and show off to the man who dared to look down on them.

Chicheng quickly followed, obviously she was also very dissatisfied with Yang Sikang.

However, compared to their impatient side, Yang Sikang seemed extraordinarily calm.

Yorktown stood on the deck with its ship uniform spread out, but she neither launched into the water nor launched carrier-based aircraft to attack. Instead, she looked at the sky and prepared for attack.

The carrier-based aircraft of Akagi and Kaga soon appeared within the range visible to the naked eye, and Yang Sikang in the command room was still in the communication channel at this time, telling York City not to worry.

Seeing the carrier-based aircraft roaring in, the carrier-based aircraft that was supposed to pass overhead quickly began to dive after realizing that there was no carrier-based aircraft to attack.

But the next second, something surprising happened.

The anti-aircraft guns equipped on the San Diego suddenly burst out with extremely strong firepower when the carrier-based aircraft came to the top. Although Akagi and Kaga's carrier-based aircraft had been prepared, the extremely dense cross barrage Still quickly shot down their carrier-based aircraft.

The Santiago's anti-aircraft firepower far exceeded everyone's expectations. The onlookers, both the ship's daughter and the commander, were completely stunned at this moment.

Akagi and Kaga's carrier-based aircraft flew over in a swarm, but they kept falling down above the ship like locusts intercepted by the power grid.

The dense cross barrages almost formed an entire no-fly zone, but none of the carrier-based aircraft flying into this range could still operate normally.

Even York City and Belfast were very surprised, and everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of the command room.

But Yang Sikang was in the command room, and they couldn't see his expression.

"York City, prepare to counterattack, it's your turn to perform."

"Okay, Commander~"

York City raised his hand, and the carrier-based aircraft quickly flew out from the deck of the ship.

At the same time, she ran a few steps forward and jumped out from the bow of the ship gracefully.

As if there were wings stretching out from both sides, carrier-based aircraft flew forward from both sides of her, and the intersecting anti-aircraft barrages formed a dome above her head.

York City's carrier-based aircraft count is larger than either of Akagi or Kaga, but it is still insufficient when facing both of them at the same time.

Akagi and Kaga did not mindlessly let carrier-based aircraft continuously challenge Yang Sikang's command ship's anti-aircraft firepower, but were waiting for York City's counterattack.

However, when York City's carrier-based aircraft collided with theirs, the two of them calmed down for a moment even in their angry state.

"Kaga! Her carrier-based aircraft is wrong and she needs to change her tactics!"

"understand!"

The moment the carrier-based aircraft of both sides clashed, the result was extremely obvious:

The fighter jets in the first aviation battle suffered a disastrous defeat!
