Elder brother's garrison

For this reason, Henry, who was hidden underwater, slowly approached Fubuki and used the torpedo launcher to aim at Fubuki's location.

Then, the neighboring eight phosphorus nine shirts swirl leeks sheep.

Just as Henry pulled the trigger on the torpedo.

Suddenly!

The snowflakes on the sea surface began to move.

Fubuki opened her eyes in a flash, and with lightning speed, she pulled out a depth charge from her ship's rigging and threw it behind her.

swoosh————

As Henry's torpedo reached Fubuki's feet, Fubuki's depth charge also crashed into the water and came right in front of Henry.

Henry stared in astonishment at the depth charge before her, which was visibly turning red and getting hot before exploding.

boom!

boom!

Two loud explosions rang out simultaneously, one crisp and clear, the other deep and booming.

As expected, Fubuki was completely blown away by Henry's torpedo.

Henry's torpedoes were incredibly powerful, comparable to battleship guns. Fubuki's normal destroyer hull couldn't withstand such intense firepower, and her ship's rigging shattered almost instantly, leaving her heavily damaged.

Fubuki's body spun several times in mid-air under everyone's gaze before landing on the water with a loud thud, emitting a strong burnt smell.

However, Fubuki, despite being heavily damaged, had a bright smile on her face and made a victory sign with her fingers towards the sky.

"It...it hit...I think..."

Then Fubuki's head lolled to the side and she fainted.

Chapter 3654 The Victor's Reward

"Sister Fubuki!"

At this moment, Bai Xue and the other two rushed up and surrounded the badly damaged Fubuki, constantly scanning the water surface around them.

"So, what exactly was Fubuki-nee doing just now? What hit you?" Miyuki asked while observing the surrounding water.

"Fubuki-neechan's idea is... she wants to die together with Miss Henry." Shirayuki gently pressed Fubuki behind her and said to Miyuki and Hatsuyuki beside her.

"Huh?" Miyuki and Hatsuyuki looked at Shirayuki, their eyes full of surprise.

……

Meanwhile, in the spectator stands at the edge of the exercise field.

Seeing this scene on the water, Veneto, sitting next to Little White, had a thoughtful look in her eyes. She crossed her legs, thought for a while, and then nodded and said.

"Hmm...I see."

"Veneto? Do you understand now?" Xiaobai looked at Veneto.

“I never imagined Fubuki could be so wild.” Veneto nodded, a hint of admiration on her face, then looked at Shiro and said, “Admiral, Fubuki did indeed perish together with Henry just now. Her anti-submarine attack must have hit Henry.”

"Hmm? Why?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

“From the exercise just now, it’s clear that the newly joined submarine ship girl Henry has considerable strength,” Veneto said to Xiaobai. “Her movements are far more agile than other underwater ships, and she dodges anti-submarine bombs with ease. More importantly, as a special ship girl, she possesses top-notch combat skills and ship equipment proficiency right from the start, which is enough for her to force the Fubuki-class destroyers to retreat step by step by herself.”

"I bet your next sentence will be 'but'..."

“But…” Veneto gave Xiaobai a reproachful look, crossed her arms, and slowly said, “Some things are not innate. Henry still lacks some on-the-spot experience, which is why she was outmaneuvered by Fubuki in the recent exchange.”

"Oh? Fubuki schemed against her?"

“Exactly.” Veneto looked at the water in the distance and continued, “The victory of an exercise is determined by which side survives. If Fubuki is determined to perish together with Henry, then after she and Henry are both heavily damaged, the remaining three ship girls, Shirayuki, Fubuki, and Miyuki, who are in good condition, will naturally be able to win the final victory.”

"But how can Fubuki and Henry die together?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

“That’s a matter of experience,” Veneto said. “Logically speaking, with Henry’s high evasion ability, even if Fubuki dragged her down with her, she shouldn’t be hit… However, there are some factors on the battlefield that cannot be quantified. Although Henry can dodge attacks aimed at her with her agile body, it’s a different story if she deliberately runs into a depth charge.”

"They... bumped into each other on their own?"

"Yes, Admiral, didn't you notice? When Henry ambushed Fubuki before, he launched the torpedoes from behind her to minimize her alertness."

"Huh? Is that so?"

“Henry still lacks experience in strategic maneuvering. Her biggest mistake was revealing her combat tendencies to Fubuki. Therefore, Fubuki deliberately chose a surface of water that was empty and dangerous in all directions, intentionally giving Henry so many firing angles, so that Henry would subconsciously choose to attack her from behind,” Veneto explained. “Since the enemy’s attack direction was already determined, as long as the timing of the attack was well-controlled, and the evasive maneuver was abandoned instantly, an anti-submarine bomb could be dropped on the target point to achieve a predictive effect, so that the enemy would also be hit by the anti-submarine bomb the instant of attack.”

"Oh! I see." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but clap her hands. "Then how did Fubuki judge Henry's timing for the attack?"

"Regarding this... Admiral, don't underestimate us." Veneto revealed a faint confidence to Shiro. "The ship girls of our rookie naval base are all seasoned veterans, having experienced countless battles. We have long since cultivated the ability and intuition to sense danger in one thrilling battle after another. Fubuki is no exception. As long as she blocks out her senses and concentrates, she will have a strange feeling once Henry targets her."

"Wow, Fubuki is amazing!" Xiaobai put down her hand, hugged Jinan in her arms, and exclaimed with admiration, "It's also amazing that she could analyze so much about Veneto..."

"This battle was not a victory of strength, but a victory of experience."

Veneto said to Little White.

"..."

"Um... excuse me for interrupting." Just then, the pursuer raised his hand from the side.

Everyone instinctively looked at the pursuers.

"The pursuer, what's wrong?"

"Um... I mean... look." The pursuer scratched his cheek, seemingly embarrassed, and pointed towards the training ground, saying, "Henry doesn't seem to have been blown out..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing what the pursuers said, everyone present turned to look at the water.

Sure enough, several minutes had passed since Fubuki was blown into a little black figure, but the water in the training ground remained calm, and Henry's body did not surface.

what happened?

Wasn't Henry hit by the anti-submarine bomb from the snowstorm?

Clearly, the Fubuki-class ship girls on the water had already realized this, and they were now watching the water with extreme vigilance.

Gulu gulu...

Bubbles rose from a body of water not far from the snow.

The bubbles immediately caught the attention of Snow White and her two companions, who turned their gazes toward them.

The next moment, a small head popped out of the water.

It's Henry!

It's... Henry, completely unharmed!

Henry's face was still half submerged in the water. She poked half her head out and looked at Bai Xue and the other two, as well as Fubuki in the middle of them, and gurgled out a bunch of bubbles.

"...Plop plop plop...Well done."

Amidst the astonished gazes of Bai Xue and the other two, Henry praised Fubuki, who had transformed into a charred little man, before slowly sinking into the water and disappearing.

Then, the three of them, who had finally realized what was happening, launched a series of anti-submarine attacks on her.

Fubuki's departure did not affect the coordination of the three sisters' anti-submarine attack. It seems that during their combat careers, they had already formulated and practiced many backup combat plans for the unexpected situation of the sisters being temporarily lost.

However... the only one on the water who could threaten Henry at the moment, Fubuki, is badly damaged, so this battle is no longer a threat to Henry.

Despite the dense and precise attacks from Snow White and her two companions, Henry easily dodged their anti-submarine bombs and then sank them one by one with submarine torpedoes.

It's worth mentioning that after Fubuki left the scene, Miyuki had a stroke of good luck in the subsequent battle, successfully launching a torpedo and seemingly finally hitting her target, blasting an anti-submarine bomb at Henry. However, Henry's armor perfectly withstood the damage, and she retaliated by taking down the still bewildered Miyuki with a torpedo.

Boom boom boom…

In less than five minutes, Henry had sunk the three people, Shirayuki, Fubuki, and Miyuki, one by one, and then one of them slowly rose to the surface, exposed to the gazes of those around him.

In this exercise between submarines and destroyers... under extremely unfavorable conditions for the submarines, Henry ultimately emerged victorious.

Around the exercise area, the ship girls watching stared wide-eyed, as if witnessing something impossible. For a moment, they were speechless, and the scene was exceptionally quiet.

Henry shook her head to dry her wet hair, then bent down and took out a quick repair device from her ship equipment space. She slowly walked over to the Fubuki-class ship girls who were lying haphazardly on the water.

Henry held the quick repair device, glanced at it several times as if confirming how to use it and its position, before slowly attaching it to the Fubuki-class ship girls.

The rapid repair device has started operating.

The four ship girls of the Fubuki-class have recovered from their heavily damaged state.

Fubuki, still dazed, looked up and stared blankly at Henry, who was holding the rapid repair device.

"Huh? Henry?!" Fubuki exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

“I won.” Henry nodded, pointing to the three Fubuki-class ship girls who were gradually waking up beside her.

"Ah... but I'm not... sigh... I still missed..." Fubuki suddenly sighed, "What a pity, I was so confident with that move just now..."

"..." Henry looked at Fubuki, who thought for a moment before speaking, "Actually, just now..."

"Oh well, it's okay, we lost!" Just as Henry was trying to explain something, Fubuki suddenly tossed her head, her emotions instantly soaring. She jumped out of the water with a thud, grabbed Henry's wrist, and happily raised his hand high, waving it joyfully to the spectator stands and the surrounding ship girls around the training ground. She shouted, "Did you all see that, ladies?! Changchun! Did you see Changchun?! Firefly, U47, U81, Big Bluefin Archerfish—you all saw it!! Henry is really amazing—I didn't hold back at all, I went all out! She's as amazing as I said before!!"

Fubuki was not depressed at all because of her defeat; on the contrary, she was extremely excited.

The first snow and the deep snow all sat up, touching their waists.

"Wow... Miss Henry is really amazing..." Chu Xue exclaimed with admiration, "I'm completely outmatched."

"Miss Henry, as expected of the submarine ship girl recognized by my sister!" Bai Xue also clapped with a smile.

"Congratulations!" Shen Xue said, clasping her hands together and pursing her lips.

After a period of silence, the surrounding ship girls, hearing Fubuki's cheers, finally began to stir again.

"Oh my god, there really are submarines like that!"

"The Light of the Submarine!!"

"Amazing, so amazing! Now I finally understand why the ship girls in 8-2 suffered so much!"

"Henry! His name is Henry, right?! That's amazing!!!"

"..."

A burst of applause followed.

The cheers of the ship girls.

The sound rang out as if it were a festival.

Henry was being pulled up and down by the snow. As she listened to the cheers around her, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she subconsciously looked towards the stands.

On the other side of the stands, Little White stood up, smiled, and waved to Henry from afar.

"..." Henry's lips parted slightly, and her fair face was visibly flushed with excitement.

no the same……

This is different from the previous battles!

It's not black, cold, or lonely; it's red, warm, and joyful!

So... the winners can receive so much praise!

Is conducting exercises really such a comfortable thing?

Chapter 3655 Rewards

Ultimately, how could ship girls possibly resist exercises?

After all, stretching out their bodies and ship equipment on the sea, and sparring and clashing with their companions in the refreshing waves, is one of the highest-ranked sports activities among the ship girls in the "What you like to do most" survey.

No ship girl would hate the sea.

Perhaps because of the legends surrounding her, Henry harbored some resistance to fighting.

Just like the HMS Henry submarine in human history that disappeared without a trace after winning its first battle, in the subconscious mind of the ship girl Henry, battle is not a pleasant thing, regardless of victory or defeat, because victory often means sinking and oblivion.

But the situation is different now.

Hearing the overwhelming cheers and applause all around her, Henry was experiencing a scene she had never witnessed before. She stared wide-eyed at the Fubuki sisters, who, even in defeat, were giving her a thumbs-up and smiling. An emotion she had never felt before began to brew within her.

No one knew what Henry was thinking at that moment.

But everyone saw that Henry's eyes gradually brightened, like a lake reflecting light.

"Admiral! Admiral!"

Henry waved his arms frantically toward the stands, his face flushed with happiness and excitement.
