Chapter 631: Third Siren Base

Vice Commander, we have confirmed the discovery of a Siren Fleet, and the number of Siren Fleets here is six or more; we suggest conducting an encirclement and annihilation.

On Li Chenming's command ship, Guan Xue's voice came through the communicator.

Li Chenming frowned; six Siren Fleets are not a good omen, although Qin Ge had already explained to them the method for this new type of Siren combat, and everyone has now mastered it.

However, in the current sea area, what he worries about most is not these six Siren Fleets, but whether engaging them will attract even more Siren Fleets.

"Report your positions and check whether any Siren Fleets are still present nearby," Li Chenming said into the communicator.

"Report to Vice Commander, we have scouted and found none. Moreover, we have maintained our formation without straying too far. I am currently at your 072 direction," Guan Xue reported.

"Received, execute the encirclement tactic and annihilate the enemy." After receiving Guan Xue's affirmation, Li Chenming no longer hesitated. Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, especially since Qin Ge had entrusted him with coordinating the flank of the grand fleet.

"Yes." Voices of several people responded through the communicator.

Immediately afterward, the formation began to shift; the shipgirls extended their line, relying on movement to tightly trap the enemy in a pocket.

With the vanguard shipgirls opening fire, the flank battle also ignited. Although the commanders' training was not as high as Qin Ge's side, this long period of coordination was now evident.

If Qin Ge's current advantage lies in the shipgirls' proficiency and precise command, then what Li Chenming and the others are demonstrating now is mutual cooperation and the application of group tactics.

They have no awakened shipgirls, yet they possess fully trained shipgirls, and the other shipgirls' proficiency is not low, fairly uniform. Thus these are their weaknesses, but also their strengths.

Steady and solid, after a period of combat, they finally annihilated the several Siren Fleets encountered on the sea surface, albeit at the cost of some shipgirl injuries.

"Report the battle damage." Seeing the battle end, Li Chenming said into the communicator.

"Report to Vice Commander, the shipgirls in my unit are all normal; after using the emergency repair tools, they can continue combat," Yun Zi said into the communicator.

"Report to Vice Commander, my unit's situation is also normal; the shipgirls can continue executing orders," Zhang Yaowu replied.

"..."

"After clearing the battlefield, continue advancing." Having received everyone's replies, Li Chenming nodded and continued to give orders.

"Yes."

After hanging up the communicator, Li Chenming unconsciously twisted his neck; during the battle he had constantly monitored the situation, keeping his body tense for a long time, making him now feel uncomfortable.

"Suddenly I realize the commander is no easy task—directing a battle takes several hours, and one must constantly update orders." Li Chenming unconsciously glanced toward where the main force was, shook his head, and laughed.

"Therefore commanders also need to study; Qin Ge the commander has many strengths and is full of knowledge. I hope commanders, in their spare time, will seek advice from the commander more often, so they can improve quickly and not envy others during battle."

A gentle voice appeared from beside him, causing Li Chenming to turn his head; before his eyes was a brown-haired girl.

"That's true, Luo Li. However, I don't want to intrude on his time when he's free, lest his shipgirls give me white eyes." Li Chenming said helplessly.

Luo Li laughed, "According to my observation, the commander is not that unapproachable, so commanders can submit suggestions; when everyone is in the port area, let the commander set aside half a day each week to summarize recent battles and teach you some command techniques."

"This way we can gain some knowledge, and we don't have to worry about his shipgirls being unhappy."

Li Chenming unconsciously nodded, "This plan is not bad; after this major battle ends, we won't need to go out to sea every day for combat, and we can resume the maritime defense duty."

"Thank you, Teacher Luo Li."

Luo Li, being called that by Li Chenming, blushed involuntarily, "I've noticed the commander has recently become a bit conceited… ha, although it's also because of me, you can't help but favor the person you like…"

"Haha, who made you always speak to me in a teacher's tone?" Li Chenming laughed.

"Honestly, commander, instead of saying these things now, you should seriously summarize this battle, find the loopholes, and strive to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the next battle." Luo Li said to Li Chenming.

"That's right; then I'll hand over the driving to you from now on, Luo Li."

"Hmm."

Not long after Li Chenming began the battle summary, an urgent voice sounded from the communicator.

"Vice Commander, we have discovered a Siren base in our 106 direction."

Li Chenming immediately put down the pen he was holding and quickly said into the communicator, "Yun Zi, transmit the specific coordinates back; I will contact the commander."

"Yes!"

After a very short time, Li Chenming also obtained the specific coordinates, swiftly switched the communicator channel, and contacted Qin Ge.

At this moment, Qin Ge and the shipgirls had just finished a meeting and had not yet dispersed when they heard the voice coming from the grand fleet's communicator.

"Commander, this is the communication from Vice Commander Li Chenming." Zhenhai said to Qin Ge.

"Connect."

"Yes," Zhenhai replied, and at the same moment he had already connected Li Chenming's communication; immediately Li Chenming's voice came through the communicator.

"Commander, we have discovered a Siren base in the unknown 106 direction from us; I have already sent the specific coordinates to you via the ship command system."

Qin Ge's eyes flashed with light; "Received, you must absolutely not act rashly; a Siren base is not as simple as you imagine. I will order the main force fleet to immediately move toward you, and then we will together assault this Siren base."

"Understood, I will now arrange for them to conduct defense and vigilance, awaiting your arrival." After Li Chenming finished speaking, he hung up the communicator.

"Hehe, it seems the Sirens really aren't giving us a chance to rest; in this short time we've already found three Siren bases, and I really don't know how many Siren bases there are in our sea area." Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a smile.

"No matter how many Siren bases there are, we must eliminate them all, and this time everyone must pay special attention; absolutely do not let a Biyu-like incident happen again."

"Upon discovering an unknown Siren, everyone, in the absence of danger, should concentrate fire and destroy it, leaving them no chance to counterattack, for we currently know nothing about them." Qin Ge said.

"Understood, Commander!" Everyone nodded and said.

"Then go inform the fleet members; we will advance toward the Siren base that Li Chenming and his team discovered." Qin Ge said.

"Yes!"
