On the afternoon of the 14th, the Sagai Navy, together with the Army Air Force, launched a counterattack against the Imperial Navy. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Within a few hours, the navy and army dispatched hundreds of fighters and bombers respectively to search the waters northeast of the Asahi Sea.

There is no doubt that the target of the search is the special group.

At about 5 p.m., after the search was fruitless, the Type 96 land attack aircraft group of the Sagi Navy bombed the airfield on Jeshima.

Although the battle report sent by the Navy Command did not mention the losses or anything else, it was clear that the Narrow-Wing Navy had developed suspicions.

I didn't find the special mix, so it's nothing.

After all, the task force has been fighting for several days, and the fighting on the Buju side is coming to an end, and it is possible to withdraw to the rear yesterday to replenish fuel and ammunition.

Dozens or hundreds of carrier-based aircraft are deployed on land airfields, and that is very abnormal.

In addition, in the morning, carrier-based aircraft deployed on Jedo Island bombed airfields and ports in the western part of the Sagi mainland, as is customary.

In fact, it is very likely that it was the bombing in the morning that made the Sagi Navy conclude that the special task force was still active in Asahiha, and only then did it unite with the army aviation to organize and launch the attack on that day. In the afternoon, in order to make a mission, the target was shifted and the guns were pointed at the airfield on the island.

The reason is that as mentioned earlier, the carrier-based aircraft deployed on Jedo have been dispatching at high intensity for several days.

In the past, it mainly bombed Buju to support the Janissary Guard, but it was only in the past two days that adjustments were made and the bombing of military bases in the local area of Pyongyi began.

Combining these factors, it is not difficult to judge that the special mixed group has long left Xuhai, and only carrier-based aircraft are left.

Is there a lack of carrier-based aircraft in the Imperial Navy?

Where is the lack of carrier-based aircraft, what is lacking is aircraft carriers!

As one of the countries with the most developed aviation industry, the empire also has the largest number of pilots in the world, and at least 100,000 people have obtained flight certificates in the civilian sector alone. In wartime, these people only need simple training to become qualified pilots.

As for carrier-based aircraft, it is even less of a problem, and it will definitely be managed.

So, where did the Mixup go?

As long as there is a slightly smarter general in the narrow navy, or who can still think calmly, such doubts will arise.

Actually, there really is one, Tian Shi, who has just been promoted to major general.

More than ten days ago, when Tian Shi appeared in the Navy Command Department, he startled Wang Kaiyuan, a high-ranking official of the Sixth Bureau, thinking that Gao Ye was not dead, and he returned to the Sayi Imperial Kingdom alive.

Don't forget, Tian Minori is one of Takano's most trusted henchmen, and he is almost inseparable from Takano.

If Takano is determined to die in battle, Tian Shi will definitely follow, and he will never be reluctant.

Fortunately, it was quickly decided that this was a miscalculation, because on the day that Tami appeared, the Sagi Imperial Kingdom held a grand state funeral for Takano.

Shortly thereafter, Tian Shi was exceptionally promoted to rear admiral and served as commander of the Shoyi Navy's home garrison fleet.

Although there are not a few warships that can handle them in the local area, and almost all of the rest are small boats of less than 1,000 tons, Tian Shi has made enough articles with these inconspicuous ships, such as the "late-night sea express shuttle" from the western port of the mainland to Bushu every night.

In just a few days, under Tian Shi's arrangement, the Sagi Navy used destroyers and other small ships to transport tens of thousands of officers and men and thousands of tons of ammunition and other materials to Bushu at night, and also picked up a large number of wounded and tens of thousands of able-bodied immigrants of military service age when they returned home.

Can Tian Shi guess the whereabouts of the special mixed group?

Bai Zhizhan didn't know, after all, he didn't know much about this "Gao Ye Ai Disciple", and it was impossible for him to pay attention to a small major staff officer.

Obviously, as long as Tian Shi guessed, he would make adjustments to the deployment.

Even if the defense of Liuhuang Island is not strengthened, it will definitely increase precautions and vigilance, such as deploying a few more patrol planes to the volcanic islands.

So, can the special group still raid Liuhuangdao as planned?

Another thing is that on the night of the 14th, in fact, a few hours earlier, the home fleet under the command of Gui Boyong shelled Changwee.

That's right, just let the battleships go to shell!

According to the war report sent, the operation was in retaliation for the bombing of Jedo by the Sagai navy.

The shelling lasted about two hours, and four battleships, four heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and eight destroyers, guided by seaplanes, dropped tens of thousands of shells on the harbor of Changwai, including more than 1,000 rounds of 400-mm shells and 3,000 rounds of 200-mm shells.

Feelings, this is to empty the main gun ammunition depots of battleships and heavy cruisers.

After the shelling, the port was in ruins.

In Gui Boyong's words in the battle report, in the next six months, there will be no military port available on the Xuhai side of the Samu.

Changqi Port is the only military port in the Asahi Sea.

Obviously, Gui Boyong was very proud of the shelling of Chang Wai Harbor.

Bai Zhizhan was not happy at all.

After the bombing of Jidao, sending a fleet to shell Changqi Harbor is not equivalent to directly telling Tian Shi that the special group has already left Xuhai?

If the special group is in the Asahihi, do you still need to let the home fleet go on an adventure?

Those were four old battleships with a maximum speed of only 25 knots, which had been active at sea for more than half a month. After dawn, it was still within the strike range of the shore-based aviation of the Narrow Navy. Even with fighter cover, the home fleet is likely to suffer heavy losses.

Relatively speaking, sending carrier-based aircraft to bomb Changsiao Port is the best choice.

Besides, there are not many warships available in the Sagai Navy, and the ships supporting Buju are also deployed in the port facing the High Narrow Sea, not in Jangsiu Port.

And what reason is there to shell the port of Changwai?

In the past ten days, there has been no large-scale bombing of Changsiao Port, because the bombing of Changsiao Port has not been of much help to combat operations on the other side of the Ice Storm Peninsula.

Just for revenge?

This reason is too far-fetched.

If a strategic victory has already been won, the number of troops is so large that it is impossible to use it up, the officers and men of the fleet are idle all day long, the battleships are burning oil at sea and empty, and the shells produced are already filling the arsenals, then it is reasonable to fight indiscriminately in order to retaliate against the opponent.

But now, the Liangxia Empire has not achieved a strategic victory, and its troops are not so large that they cannot be used up.

The actions of the home fleet last night were not only a sign of a snake, but also a taste of silver here.

It is precisely because of this that after receiving these battle reports in the early morning, Bai Zhizhan was worried, and he was also considering whether he needed to send a report to warn Liu Xiangzhen.

After thinking about it for several hours, Bai Zhizhan did not make a decision.

It's not that I'm afraid of revealing my whereabouts.

The relationship between him and Liu Xiangzhen is not as good as before, and Liu Xiangzhen doesn't know the situation here, so Bai Zhizhan came to warn him, but it may be bad.

After learning that Bai Zhizhan took the "Hengjiang" into the West and East of the Yangtze Ocean, Liu Xiangzhen was not sure that he would be able to step up quickly, and it was possible that he would make a mistake in his busyness.

Perhaps, Liu Xiangzhen can see the impact of these actions clearly.

"Commander, here!"

Hearing the reminder, Bai Zhizhan picked up the binoculars and walked out of the commander's bridge.

To the north, a group of black-pressed fighters are flying towards this direction.

That's right, that is the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing arranged by Li Yunxiang, which is actually the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing, but with a new number and a different name.
