Chapter 196
When a salvo from the battleship group sank Nevada, on the side of the stage, the commanders were also intently watching the broadcast of this exercise.
"Qin Ge Instructor's fleet power is too terrifying; starting from ten fighter jets vying for air superiority, the entire battlefield situation has always been in his grasp."
"Yeah, after air superiority fell into Qin Ge Instructor's hands, the enemy shipgirls' positioning was constantly threatened by the carrier aircraft flying overhead. Moreover, they dropped aerial bombs to force these shipgirls to move, making their defensive formation more dispersed, thereby splitting the entire formation."
"And have you noticed? Qin Ge Instructor's shipgirls have excellent coordination. Once the carrier aircraft group discovered the enemy's deployment, Hai Lun Na already confirmed the enemy main force's position and gave a signal, after which the battleships all aimed and fired."
"Moreover, the shooting accuracy was extremely high; at a distance of 21 kilometers, a salvo from three battleships hit completely, needing only one shot to destroy the enemy's main ship."
"What comes next is the best part; look, the carrier shipgirls' torpedo plane squadron has taken off, and the vanguard fleet has already approached the enemy shipgirls!"
In the midst of the commanders' discussion, Belfast, Prince Ou Gen, Ling Bo, Hai Lun Na, Si Peng Si, and Nengdai had already approached the enemy shipgirls.
Since air superiority was seized, the enemy shipgirls' formation and positioning were forced to disperse, and at this moment, facing Qin Ge's shipgirls' attack formation, it was like an egg hitting a stone.
A salvo, still a salvo!
When there is a numerical advantage and firepower advantage, concentrated salvo attacks become the best choice to maintain the advantage.
Moreover, when torpedo range was sufficient, several shipgirls equipped with torpedoes launched them underwater. At this moment, the torpedo planes of two carrier shipgirls were in position; six torpedo planes, following the torpedoes fired by the earlier torpedo-equipped shipgirls, also launched their own torpedoes.
When the screen filled with torpedoes appeared on the stage's live broadcast, the commanders, watching this scene, couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.
In such a torpedo barrage, whenever any shipgirl touches a torpedo, all that awaits her is sinking.
At this point, an even more infuriating scene appeared.
Belfast, at the forefront, did not press the attack; instead, she stopped in place and released a smoke shell.
This caused the shipgirls preparing to aim at them to lose their accurate aiming direction.
"So shameless! So dirty!"
A group of commanders below spoke up for Li Chenming and the others, feeling indignant, but it was only verbal complaints.
Because in this battle, Qin Ge's shipgirls demonstrated tactics and strategy that were exemplary cases from all his previous teachings.
Seize air superiority, split the enemy formation, precision strikes, step by step building up, expanding the advantage to the maximum.
It made this battle, which already had no suspense, become even more brutal.
Everyone wondered, if they faced Qin Ge's offensive with their own fleet, could they mount a counterattack? Could they achieve victory?
I'm afraid my performance would be even worse than those three.
Watching the three who were still communicating with their shipgirls, readjusting their positions and retreating, all the commanders couldn't help but cheer them on from the bottom of their hearts.
But all of this was in vain.
When the torpedo swarm approached the enemy shipgirls, the people only then realized it was too late to dodge.
Accompanied by two explosions, another two shipgirls were judged sunk, and they left the field.
At this point, the enemy side had four people, while Qin Ge's side still had eleven people. Moreover, all eleven were unharmed, not a single injury.
And when the smoke shell was about to dissipate, the four shipgirls who had gathered to form an attack position noticed that more than ten shells, trailing red flames, were hurtling toward their location from the west.
Just as they were dodging to avoid the shells, Qin Ge's vanguard shipgirl had already broken through the smoke shell and fired a salvo together at the location of those few.
Accompanied by the booming cannon fire, all the shipgirls sank in this round of attack.
Taiyuan's voice echoed across the training field: "The challenge match is over; the winning side is Qin Ge Instructor and his shipgirls."
After both sides' shipgirls had returned to the pier, the few of them went back on stage together. Facing the four and their shipgirls, all the seated commanders stood up and applauded in respect.
At this moment, Anshan came up to the few with a microphone, handed it to Li Chenming, and asked, "How did this match feel?"
Li Chenming gave Qin Ge a bitter smile and said to everyone, "Although we few had already predicted the outcome of this battle beforehand, I didn't expect the gap to be so large."
"It turns out that during our joint exercises, the commander always held back a bit."
"Qin Ge Instructor, is what Vice Commander Li Chenming saying true? So you usually hold back in joint exercises?" Anshan asked with a smile.
Qin Ge laughed, "The previous joint exercises were meant for them to solidify tactics and learn how to cooperate; as for the outcome of the exercises, that was secondary."
That's why they were able to have an excellent performance in this exercise league.
"But this time it's a confrontation challenge; naturally, against the opponent, we should go all out to show them our true strength."
"I see, Qin Ge Instructor seems quite qualified as a commander, and also as a challenged party." Anshan said with a smile, "But I see that the tactic you used today should be your newly developed one, right?"
"It's not exactly a newly developed tactic; it's a type of offensive tactic, but a joint tactic involving multiple ship types."
"My initial goal in using it was to devise a tactic against the Siren Fleet: seize air superiority, ensure air superiority, and under the cover of air power, first sink the enemy's main ship type."
"Then, step by step building up, nibbling away at the remaining fleet, so as to achieve the goal of losing as little as possible, ideally none, and annihilating the enemy fleet." Qin Ge explained.
"Indeed, it's a tactic strong in both offense and defense; it looks like they'll learn something from this again." Anshan said with a smile.
"Next up is your turn to comment on your challengers; although you're all old acquaintances and part of a large fleet, for this match, do you have anything to say?"
With Anshan's question, Qin Ge looked at the three and said, "Keep striving and give it your all!"
"Becoming the strongest in the academy has never been just our goal; our goal is the front line, and beyond that, the stars and the vast sea!"
"So, strive!"
