"If you choose one of the three, you will definitely choose the path."

"You, or Lan Yun?"

Zhou Yongtao was stunned, obviously not understanding the meaning of Bai Zhizhan.

"From our point of view, from a defensive standpoint, we must choose the road, because as long as we kill the middle road, we can take care of the east road, and the west road, which is within the strike range of the special mixed group, even if we don't rush over in time, Liu Xiangzhen will not let Lan Yun slip away."

Zhou Yongtao nodded, this time he figured it out.

"But from Lan Yun's standpoint, that is, from the perspective of offense, how to choose?"

"That depends on his purpose."

"I came all the way here, and I came in such a hurry, don't tell me, this is to go home for the Spring Festival."

"Chinese New Year?"

Hearing Bai Zhizhan say this, Zhou Yongtao couldn't help laughing.

Don't look at the Liangxia Empire and the Liang Xia Empire are now incompatible, and it can even be said that they don't share the sky, but in history, the Narrow Yi Empire has always regarded Liang Xia as an example to learn, and in the past thousand years, it has not only used Liang Xia's writing, but also inherited Liang Xia's culture and traditions.

The most typical is that it almost copied the traditional festivals of Liangxia such as the "Spring Festival".

As a result, at this time of year, the land of Liangxia and the Sayi Islands will welcome the New Year on the same day.

During the last war, on the day of the Spring Festival in 78 of the new calendar, the two sides also temporarily ceased fire on the Ice Storm Peninsula, allowing the front-line soldiers to have a peaceful Spring Festival. However, in just two days, in the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, as if to cater to the custom of setting off firecrackers, the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.

"In this way, he is heading for Liuhuang Island."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and said: "I am now eighty percent sure that the news of Li Zhong's death in battle was deliberately released by the people of the Military Command Department, and it was Tian Shi's idea. The purpose of this move is to make us attack Liuhuangdao ahead of schedule, so that the landing fleet will have to stay at the landing site for a longer time. ”

"Create opportunities for Lan Yun?"

"The opportunity has been created, and it is still unknown whether Lan Yun can seize it."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yongtao has always regarded Bai Zhizhan as an idol, so whenever he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, he will take the initiative to ask.

"Tian Shi is indeed very powerful, otherwise he would not have been directly promoted from major to major general. It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the next second. No matter how powerful a general is, he can't anticipate things like a god, let alone be comprehensive. Otherwise, the Imperial Navy would not insist on pursuing the principle of authorization and let the front-line commanders have the right to make their own decisions," Bai Zhizhan paused slightly, and then said: "When making this deployment, Tian Shi definitely couldn't determine how long the defenders of Liuhuangdao could hold out, and he definitely didn't know that the 'Hengjiang' had left Puzhou Port, and he couldn't expect Lan Yun to make any decision after receiving this information. ”

"It's all uncertainties."

"Of these, there are actually only two that have changed the most."

"Lan Yun?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "Lan Yun is the commander of the mobile fleet, but judging from the results of the engagement, his ability is obviously not as powerful as he boasted before the battle. If you really want to say it, I am afraid that he is really not as good as the generals who have died in the battle in the traditional fleet decisive battle. The point is that after working in the First Air Force and the Mobile Fleet for so long, even if he didn't make a name for himself, my way of thinking may have been solidified long ago. If you command the permanent fleet to fight in the same way as you command a mobile fleet, can you have a good result? ”

"This ......"

"However, he should not be underestimated. Let me say that his cautious attitude will once again lead the narrow fleet into the gutter. ”

Another sentence in the Yuzhou dialect.

Zhou Yongtao scratched his scalp.

It seems that we have to find time to learn the dialect of Yuzhou.

"It's just that we can think of it, and Tian Shi can think of it too. Don't forget, Gao Ye sent him to the mobile fleet at the beginning, so he must know Lan Yun better, and know that Lan Yun is easy to make mistakes at critical moments, so he will definitely make corresponding arrangements for this. ”

"What a corresponding arrangement."

"Let's say, tell Lan Yun how much to gain from the successful assault on the Huangdao landing ground, or make a similar assurance, so as to dispel Lan Yun's doubts. If necessary, he will also restrain Lan Yun by giving orders. After all, Lan Yun is the general of the defeated army, and he may not dare to argue with Tian Shi, who has the support of the prime minister. ”

Zhou Yongtao nodded thoughtfully, and understood the meaning of Bai Zhizhan.

"As for another uncertain factor, Tian Shi may have expected it, but he definitely didn't prepare in advance, and he may not be able to make up for it."

"You mean ......"

"Isn't that what we are?"

Zhou Yongtao frowned.

In fact, he had already guessed that the second uncertainty of Bai Zhizhan was referring to the First Task Force, but he didn't think it was an advantage.

The Narrow-minded spy has discovered the secrets inside the floating dock and sent a telegram.

No matter how stupid Tian Shi was, he would definitely be able to think that the Liang Xia Navy had formed a fleet with the "Hengjiang" as the core, and it was very likely that the fleet had entered the West and East and the United States.

After making this guess, Tian Shi will inevitably make adjustments to the deployment.

In this way, what is there to be happy about?

Even if you don't have to worry about encountering the permanent fleet at night, the two "Xuhai" class ships are not here to see the excitement, but Lan Yun can completely walk away.

As long as it does not go to the landing ground of Liuhuangdao, the permanent fleet only needs to make a detour to the east, and it can smoothly return to the mainland of Sagi.

"Do you think Tian Shi knows that we are on this aircraft carrier?"

"He should know you're on this carrier." Zhou Yongtao is very honest and knows which "we" Bai Zhizhan said should be replaced with "I".

"It's not just that you should, but you can definitely guess. It's no secret that I went to the Puzhou shipyard, and I haven't been seen in Puzhou for many days. ”

"If he knew that you were in command of Task Force 1, he would be even more cautious."

"There are two possibilities."

"Which two?"

"First, he will suspect that the First Task Force is looking at the West and East Ocean, and it is near Liuhuang Island, hiding in the sea not far from the task force."

"This ......"

"It's just that if we hadn't attacked the permanent fleet today and tomorrow morning, Tian Shi might have felt that this worry was actually unnecessary."

Zhou Yongtao didn't speak, thinking seriously about what Bai Zhizhan said.

It is not so much listening to Bai Zhizhan and analyzing the battle situation, but rather learning with an open mind.

This kind of opportunity to teach in real combat is absolutely unavoidable.

"At this time, he will believe in the second possibility, we are active in Xuhai, and maybe we will go to Jedo in the near future to participate in combat operations there."

"The battle on the Icestorm Peninsula is over, ...... over there"

"If you want to land on the Sagi mainland, where do you think it's more convenient to start from?"

Even this has come to mind!

Dialogue stopped the war, Zhou Yongtao was indeed so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

"To put it simply, according to my inference, as long as we keep hiding and not showing up, then the most middle will eat at noon tomorrow, and Tian Shi will order Lan Yun to kill Liuhuang Island at full speed. And before that, even if he didn't make adjustments, Lan Yun would probably choose the farthest route. ”

"Eastern Front?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "Lan Yun's mission is to prevent us from landing on Liuhuang Island, as well as to assist the defenders on Liuhuang Island in repelling the landing force. Theoretically, as long as the permanent fleet arrives at the landing ground on Liuhuangdao, there is no need to defeat the landing fleet and landing force. ”

At this time, Zhou Yongtao had fully understood.

Bai Zhizhan did not plan to let Lan Yun go, but waited for Lan Yun to throw himself into the net.
