“What is the water inlet?”

"It's barely stopped, but... I don't know how long I can hold on."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After the communication ended, Arisa couldn't help but sigh.

In the impact just now, although the damage suffered by the Tianlong was not as great as the opposite side, the damage to the hull was still quite large.

The bow of the ship was directly deformed and even broke in some places. Fortunately, the damage pipe on the ship was properly operated, so there was not much water entering the cabin.

At this moment, the tactical panel on the ship suddenly flashed.

Arisa's reaction was quick and he immediately turned his gaze to the screen.

The tactical panel will not be scattered or scattered. If this happens, something must have happened.

"Hey, the main force was hit by the enemy?"

Looking at the map on the screen, Arisha spoke in surprise.

"No," Lolan widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "If you don't go to the archipelago, it is impossible for the enemy to arrive at this point in time."

Not long after, the information on the tactical panel was updated again.

"The attacker is... a carrier-based aircraft? There is an aircraft carrier opposite."

"Aircraft carrier? This is too much. When there is no aircraft carrier on our side, the battle is definitely one-sided!" Luo Lan said angrily.

"Calm down, Loran." Yarisha paused, and then continued: "It is normal for the offensive party to be stronger than the defensive party, and the aircraft carriers in this kind of game will not be much stronger."

Generally speaking, most aircraft carriers that can appear in such competitions are first-generation aircraft carriers after the end of World War I, and many of them are even transformed by civilian ships.

The speed and protection of these aircraft carriers will not be much better, and the aircraft they carry are also very touching. They are usually biplane, and the number will not be much larger.

Just when the bridge was in chaos, Shizuku suddenly spoke.

"The current situation of the battle."

Although Shizuku's voice was not loud, it instantly calmed the bridge.

"A Albany-class cruiser was hit by torpedoes, and a Joli-class destroyer was bombed." Arisha reported calmly.

Ships of this level generally do not install any anti-aircraft guns, and most of them only have a few symbolic anti-aircraft machine guns, so they are quite weak when encountering air strikes.

"Return to defense."

Just like before, Shizuku's order this time still has only two words.

"Understand." Arisha nodded, and then continued, "Loran, we are ready to turn the ships. We are going to go back to protect the main fleet."

After knowing that there is an aircraft carrier on the other side, the Tianlong's actions will not be as stormy as before. After all, there is no reliable air-to-air firepower on this thing. If you are caught by the plane alone, you will definitely be dead and dead.

Moreover, since the game has reached the present, there are obviously no wild monsters that can be beaten by this ship girl. Going back and waiting for the enemy's active decisive battle is the safest tactic.

...

"The enemy's planes retreated, but we lost another ship."

After seeing the newly refreshed information on the tactical panel, Arisa's expression suddenly became solemn.

"One round of attack caused us to lose three ships. What did the War Game League think? Such a battle would actually occur." Luo Lan couldn't help but complain.

"This is the observation tower, and a team of planes are approaching from the front."

The observer's voice suddenly came from the radio station.

"There should be the enemy planes that returned after completing the attack." Arisha thought for a while before continuing: "Ignore them, the bombs and torpedoes of these planes must have been used up."

"learn."

Not long after the conversation between the two ended, more than a dozen planes appeared in the group's vision.

As Arisha had previously speculated, all of these aircraft were biplane and had a very slow flight speed.

It was not only the girls in the bridge that observed these planes, but Yin Yu, who was on the deck, also took out a telescope and carefully observed them.

"Boeing F4B fighter, Martin T3M torpedo, Martin B2M bomber."

Although most biplane aircraft look similar, Yin Yu has been a major in aviation for two years and has no problem identifying them.

"From this configuration, the aircraft carrier opposite should be Langley." Arisha said thoughtfully.

These three aircraft are standard aircraft carriers of the US imperialists in the 1920s, and the carrier carrying them is likely to be the CV-1 Langley of the same era.

"Langley" is the first aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy, and was modified from the "Jupiter" coal ship. The modification project began in June 1919. It was equipped with a full-purpose flight deck above the hull. It was modified in March 1922 and appeared in active service in the U.S. Navy. It was later named after Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley, an American physicist and astronomer and aviation pioneer, and was renamed to "Langley". The new number is CV-1.

This thing has conducted various tactical training and exercises during its service as an aircraft carrier, providing the US Navy with experience in using aircraft carriers and many naval pilots.

The "Lanli" standard displacement is 11,050 tons, full load displacement is 14,700 tons, 165 meters long, 18 meters wide, 5.8 meters draft, 165.3 meters long and 19.8 meters wide. The power is 3 boilers, 2 motors, and the maximum output power of the main engine is 7,000 horsepower.

The maximum speed is only 15 knots and only 34 aircraft carriers. It is also one of the earliest ships in the United States to adopt electrical propulsion power systems.

Just as the girls were watching the planes, several planes suddenly dived down in the group.

Yinyu's intuition is very keen, so he noticed the abnormality on the other side at the first time.

Ordinary pilots will not lower their altitude for no reason during flight. As an excellent American fighter pilot, Yinyu quickly realized what the opponent wanted to do.

"The F4B fighter jet dives!" Yin Yu paused, and then continued: "All personnel are evacuated immediately, they want to shoot us with machine guns!"

Although the Tianlong protection of personnel is pretty good at the same level, it is still much worse than that of World War II. The machine guns of fighter jets can cause tons of damage to them.

Not to mention anything else, the simple command tower of the Tianlong has no protection. The fighter's machine gun can easily kill internal members, and there is no need for torpedoes or bombers to attack.

"Is the quality so poor?" Arisha complained, and then said loudly: "Everyone retreat immediately to the cabin and pay attention to maintaining order."
