The mobile fleet, on its part, is also in full swing.

As a matter of fact, the officers and men on the "Jiahe" had been busy all night, and it was not until half past one in the morning that the damaged flight deck was repaired, and then they were busy repairing the damaged fighters, trying to find ways to plug the loopholes in the hangar, and finally preparing for the early morning operation.

From the commander of the aviation service department downwards, hundreds of officers and men did not even have the time to sit down and drink saliva, let alone rest.

Comparatively speaking, the "Feilong" side is slightly better.

Before five o'clock, the "Jiahe" and "Feilong" turned to the windward direction, and then released more than a dozen repaired 97 warships.

It was not to attack the task force of the Liang Xia Navy, but to carry out reconnaissance missions.

It's just that it's not over yet.

After the launch of the attack group, at about half past five in the morning, the two aircraft carriers began to release fighters.

These Zeros, also taking off with full loads, were all equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks to ensure that they could stay over the mobile fleet for six hours at cruising speed.

In other words, if there is no fighting, it is theoretically possible to stay until 11 a.m. Considering the time it takes to land, the patrol can be extended until half past ten. It's just that the air defense mission also consumes a lot of fuel, so the replacement time will not be later than ten o'clock.

By the time the last Zero Combat flew off the "Jiahe", it was almost six o'clock.

In half an hour, only a few Zeros were released, mainly because the ground crew was too tired, and if it weren't for the hope of victory, I am afraid that many would have fallen directly.

The eastern sky was already showing a glimmer of light.

It's just that the ground crew still hasn't had a chance to rest.

Now, the two carriers have to empty their flight decks as quickly as possible, to be precise, and prepare for the fleet that will arrive in half an hour.

Looking at the busy officers and soldiers on the deck, Lan Yun was full of emotion in his heart.

In fact, last night, when Tian Shi left by seaplane, Lan Yun wanted to say something to stay, but in the end he only said a few words of thanks.

In any case, Tami was a staff officer at the permanent fleet headquarters and a subordinate of Takano.

After yesterday's battle, Lan Yun understood why Gao Ye valued and appreciated this staff officer who was still a little immature.

If nothing else, if it weren't for Tian Shi's resoluteness and decisiveness, the mobile fleet would have lost even more!

If there is no counterattack to sink the two aircraft carriers of the Second Air Task Force, even if it turns out to be one sinking and one wounded, the next thing that will be lost is definitely more than face. If the Second Air Task Force is given the opportunity to launch a third wave of attacks, I am afraid that before sunset yesterday, the mobile fleet will become an ornament in the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea. Even if it is not so exaggerated, it only takes one more wave of attacks, and dozens of torpedo planes and bombers can sink the "Feilong" and "Jiahe". Without aircraft carriers, even if all the other warships escaped, what was the use?

It can be seen that the counterattack launched by Tian Shi saved the two aircraft carriers and saved Lan Yun.

In addition, hope was saved.

Now is the time to fight for that glimmer of hope!

Although it is not yet possible to conclude from the information we have now whether the task force is continuing to move south or has turned towards the Shuangche Strait, one thing is certain, the two aircraft carriers that departed from Thorn Prefecture, that is, the Third Air Task Force, have entered the Yanhai Sea from the Ashishima Strait, and it is very likely that they will operate in the waters close to Ashishima, and will send carrier-based aircraft to monitor and blockade the Shuangche Strait.

The key is that the only one that can rush to block the Shuangche Strait in front is the Third Air Task Force.

The speed of the mobile fleet was not slow, even last night, when the "Jiahe" was undergoing repairs, the speed reached twenty-eight knots. If the task force had sailed south for several hours, even if it ran to thirty knots, it would not have been possible to catch up with the mobile fleet in the Yanhai.

Obviously, the two task forces of the Liang Xia Navy are really too far away!

That's right, this is the opportunity!

According to the telegram sent by the Military Command Department last night, the main force will dispatch seaplanes before dawn to help the mobile fleet search for the enemy fleet, that is, the Third Air Task Force. Because the Fifth Air Force could not arrive in time, the mobile fleet had to organize carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack in time after it was replenished. If it is capable, the mobile fleet will also send reconnaissance planes to search the waters south of Ashishima before dawn.

To sum it up, it's just one sentence.

Kill the roadblocks first, and then think about anything else.

It's just that Lan Yun knows very well in his heart that this is not the plan of those people in the Military Command Department, but Gao Ye's plan.

As for why Gao Ye made this arrangement, it was actually the same reason why he recruited Tian Shi back.

After yesterday's battle, Takano has lost faith in the mobile fleet, not to be precise, not convinced that the mobile fleet will be able to escape from Ascension.

Perhaps, at that time, Takano had already made the decision to abandon the mobile fleet.

Don't forget, yesterday we fought all day, and only the mobile fleet was exposed, discovered, and attacked, and the main team never showed up.

Theoretically, the Liang Xia Navy may not have known that the main team had also entered the Yanhai.

In this way, the Liang Xia Navy will keep an eye on the mobile fleet, and set the search range according to the situation of the mobile fleet, that is, the speed and route.

As long as the task force pursues it, it is sure to find a mobile fleet.

Now, the problem is big!

In terms of time, even if it kept sailing eastward, the mobile fleet would not be able to reach the west entrance of the Shuangche Strait until late at night on the 26th. After that, he continued to sail at full speed, and it was not until noon on the 27th that he could sail out of the Shuangche Strait, to be precise, out of the strike range of the combat planes deployed on Ashishim.

On the afternoon of the 26th and the morning of the 27th, the mobile fleet was exposed.

It's almost a foregone conclusion!

So, what about the main team?

Because it has been following behind, maintaining a distance of more than two hundred kilometers, and the speed is not slow, the main fleet will arrive at the Shuangche Strait five hours ahead of schedule.

What is this concept?

On the evening of the 26th, the main team was able to enter the Shuangche Strait, and as long as it turned to the southeast in time, it could escape before dawn on the 27th.

That is, the most dangerous thing for the main team is the few hours before entering the Twin Car Strait.

It was the afternoon of the 26th!

If the mobile fleet fought a fierce battle with the Liang Xia Navy at this time and successfully attracted the firepower of the Liang Xia Navy, would the main battle team still be hit?

Obviously, the best way to attract firepower is to attack the task force of the Liang Xia navy.

As long as the battle starts, the Liang Xia Navy will only have the two aircraft carriers of the mobile fleet in its eyes, and even if the main team is discovered, it will turn a blind eye.

What's more, the Liangxia Navy may not be able to discover the main force more than 200 kilometers away in front of the mobile fleet in time.

That's right, this is Takano's wishful thinking.

Let the mobile fleet be cannon fodder, and the main fleet can escape.

It's just, what if you know?

The mobile fleet is already lagging behind, not to mention that it doesn't have wings, and even if it has wings, it can't fly away!

With Lan Yun's current situation, what he can fight for now is to launch a round of attacks before he is devastated.

Even if it is destined to be destroyed in the Yanhai Sea, it will be dragged to the death of the task force of the Liangxia Navy!

Of course, if you can blow up and sink a few aircraft carriers, you will die without regrets!
