"Imperial Capital".

When the communications staff officer strode over, Bai Zhizhan was patiently explaining his tactical intentions to Er Li, so that the two of them would know how to arrange the task later.

At the beginning of the meal, the telecommunications officer brought a battle report forwarded by the Navy Command.

During the noon battle, the attack planes of the special task force had already sunk the "Jiahe" and "Feilong", and would attack next. According to Liu Xiangzhen's meaning, he will do his best to annihilate the mobile fleet and strive to launch two more strikes, with fast battleships as the main target.

The premise is that the escaped narrow battleships can be found in time, especially the four fast battleships.

In addition, during the noon battle, the task force lost only a few carrier-based aircraft.

Li Yunxiang did not cheat, and said on the spot that after returning home, he would invite all the officers and men of the fleet headquarters to go to the best restaurant in the imperial capital for a big meal.

On this occasion, Bai Zhizhan also explained his tactical intentions in detail.

In his eyes, there is no mobile fleet at all, or the annihilation of the mobile fleet is not a matter at all.

In the words of Bai Zhizhan, there is a "Sven Beast" in the town over there, and you are afraid that the cooked duck will fly away?

Don't look at Liu Xiangzhen, who is usually silent, and he is polite in front of anyone, after going to the battlefield, his ruthlessness is not as good as even stopping the war in vain. In last year's fleet exercise, in order to seize an advantageous position, he had more than a dozen warships of the task force run wildly for a day and a night at a speed of 32 knots. After the exercise, both aircraft carriers returned to the shipyard for overhaul ahead of schedule due to boiler and steam turbine failures.

Targeted by him, Lan Yun couldn't run away at all.

Of course, the White Stop War is also prepared.

If the task force does not attack in the morning, the 3rd Air Task Force turns south at noon and is then able to attack the mobile fleet that is about to enter the Twin Carriage Strait in the evening.

However, this also means that there is a high probability that the Third Air Fleet will be attacked at the same time.

That's right, it's the Fifth Air Force under the command of Major General Sawazo.

Because dozens of carrier-based aircraft have been added to the mobile fleet, especially in yesterday's heavy naval attack and ship explosion, there is every reason to believe that the Fifth Air Force is in South Zhuhai.

Just, in which part of the sea in South Zhuhai?

Don't forget, Nanhaihai is the second largest sea in the Guia Ocean, second only to Yanhai in terms of area, and spans more than 2,000 kilometers from north to south.

Here, Bai Zhizhan made a very bold speculation.

Yesterday afternoon, at the latest, the Fifth Air Force had already turned north.

The reason is also very simple: to meet the mobile fleet and the main force of the breakout to the east of the Shuangche Strait, shorten the distance to the Watchman Strait.

Critical, to be able to cover each other with the 3rd Air Force.

Although the carrier-based aircraft of the Narrow Navy, whether it is the Zero Battle, the 99 Ship Explosion or the 97 Ship Attack, are all famous for their long range, they fly more than 1,000 kilometers on the vast sea, and they cannot use radio navigation equipment, which is absolutely not simple, and it is very likely that they will deviate by hundreds of kilometers.

The key is to stay in the southern sea area of South Zhuhai, what can you do?

This is also the key to Bai Zhizhan's decision to enter the Guia Ocean overnight and stand by in the southeast direction of Ashishima.

As long as the Fifth Air Force moves north, it will certainly enter the strike range of the Third Air Task Force today, at the latest in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

In other words, if it were that simple, Bai Zhizhan would have sent out the reconnaissance plane in the morning.

According to the information received last night, the 3rd Air Force of the Sagai Navy has already left the port, and it is heading south from the port of Changqi, so it will reach the east of the Watchman Strait this afternoon. If it cooperates with the Fifth Air Force, that is, if the carrier-based aircraft carrying out the attack mission are allowed to land in the Fifth Air Force, then the Third Air Force will be able to launch an attack in the afternoon and send carrier-based aircraft to deal with the White Stop.

Also, the Fifth Air Force can also attack the Third Air Task Force.

No matter how big Bai Zhi's fighting spirit is, he will not fight with two air teams in two directions at the same time, not to mention that he only has two fleet aircraft carriers in his hands.

Even without considering the quality and ability of the pilots, the Third Carrier-based Aviation Wing is already very good if it can take out an air force of a narrow navy at one time. If two air teams are attacked at the same time, the result is likely to be that neither side will take advantage.

Crucially, the Third Air Task Force is now on its own.

It can also be said to be alone in danger.

For this reason, Bai Zhizhan sent a seaplane to Ashishima in the early morning and asked Ashto Port to send out a maritime patrol plane.

There were a total of twelve, but only one broke down, so there were only eleven patrol aircraft sorted. It's a little less, but with a huge range, a spiral repeated search is carried out, and the probability of finding the Fifth Air Force during the day is not small, maybe half a day is enough.

In fact, this is the wishful thinking of the White Stop War.

Rely on maritime patrol planes to find the Fifth Air Force, determine at least its general area of activity, and then launch two rounds of attacks with all your might. It would be great if the Fifth Air Force could be annihilated. Even if you don't achieve total annihilation, you can delay it until tomorrow and then launch a strike.

The key is to stay hidden the whole time.

After killing the Fifth Air Force, we will pounce on the Third Air Force and strive to destroy the last capital of the Narrow Navy.

The main team?

To be honest, Bai Zhizhan really didn't take the two "Gate" class in his eyes.

As long as the aircraft carriers of the narrow navy are killed, then in the vast ocean, relying on speed to keep a distance, carrier-based aviation can torture and kill battleships.

As for the four old battleships built during the last war, the White Stop War was even more unserious.

If you want to say it, there are only four "gold and steel" class that have been upgraded to fast battleships, and there is still a little bit of value that needs to be solved in time.

Obviously, Liu Xiangzhen also thought so, so he would continue to pursue the mobile fleet in the afternoon.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the First Air Force and the Second Air Force, which form the mobile fleet, are the pillars and absolute main forces of the Narrow Navy.

"Commander!"

After handing over the telegram to Bai Zhizhan, the communications staff officer took two steps back.

After reading it quickly, Bai Zhizhan handed the message to Li Yunxiang next to him.

It was also sent by the command of the Navy, and the monitoring radio intercepted the signal from the long-wave radio station "Gate", and the approximate position was determined by triangulation. The speculation before the White Stop War was confirmed, and the "Gate" was in the northern part of the Yanhai Sea, and it was to the west of the Shuangche Strait, so it may have entered the Shuangche Strait. If they sail at full speed, the main team will definitely be able to pass through the Shuangche Strait before dawn tomorrow.

The point is that if you want to take out the main fleet, you have to do it this afternoon.

By daylight tomorrow, the main force would only need to turn south after passing through the Shuangche Strait, and it would be able to avoid the Third Air Task Force to the north.

"Hit?" At the same time as the question came out, Li Yunxiang gave the telegram to Li Mingbo.

Bai Zhizhan didn't say anything, this temptation is indeed a bit big.

Not those two battleships, but the permanent fleet commander!

According to the propaganda of the Sagai Navy, Takaya's value was equal to half of the permanent fleet, and even the generals of the Nuland Navy were full of praise for him.

feelings, he is the first person in the Navy today.

Just let him slip away?
