For half an hour, Bai Zhizhan kept staring at the chart, except for blinking his eyes, there was no other movement, as if it was a statue made of plaster.

Zhou Yongtao wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Li Yunxiang and Li Mingbo with their eyes.

Maybe Zhou Yongtao didn't know, but Li Yunxiang and Li Mingbo knew very well that when Bai Zhizhan was standing in a daze, he must be thinking about the problem, his brain was running at full speed, and his energy was concentrated on one point. If you don't want to be scolded, don't bother him.

What did he think?

"You say...... What's wrong? ”

Raising his head, Bai Zhizhan realized that they were all staring at him.

"What do you want us to say?" Li Yunxiang was the first to answer. According to the practice in previous fleet exercises, the White Stop War must have an eyebrow.

No?

He would stay there until he was hungry and had a hypoglycemic reaction.

"Oh, I mean, who do you think is in command of the Third Air Force?"

"Isn't it just ......"

As soon as Li Mingbo opened his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth. 、

If he could think of it, Bai Zhizhan wouldn't have stood there thinking for half an hour!

"Have you ever thought that we may have made the same mistake as the enemy, and take it for granted that it is Major General Kakuji who commands the Third Air Force?"

"Isn't it him?" This time, Li Mingbo did it on purpose, and someone had to answer it.

That guy is the commander of the Third Air Force, although he is a major general, but in terms of ability, he is far inferior to Lan Yun and not as good as Zesan.

"After encountering the cruiser formation under the command of the guards in the early morning, Takano will definitely take the opportunity to send a telegram to the other warbands." Bai Zhizhan paused slightly, did not wait for the others to speak, and continued: "If he concludes that we have returned to Asahi, and it was last night, together with those two fast battleships, or immediately after, he will make a bold inference. ”

"What inference?" This time it was Li Yunxiang who asked the question.

Bai Zhizhan smiled, looked at Zhou Yongtao, who was eager to try, and left the question to him.

"The home fleet will slow down and delay its entry into the Guia by a day, at least half a day, because we all need at least half a day to catch up."

Li Yunxiang frowned, and nodded while thinking.

"The problem is that several of the Narrow-Navy's teams won't slow down, and they can't slow down either." At the behest of Bai Zhizhan, Zhou Yongtao continued: "It is the second main team responsible for controlling and blocking the Watchman Strait, and the fleet transporting ground troops will not arrive until the second main force is deployed. According to the original plan, a decisive battle with the home fleet was supposed to take place this afternoon, or tonight at the latest. It is precisely because of this that the Third Air Force needs to arrive in advance. The time of the decisive battle is postponed, and the second main team can be on standby outside the strait, but what about the third air force? Don't forget, the first main team under the command of Takano is coming at full speed. ”

"Can you guarantee that Takano will come here?"

"Losing the North and South Sadou Islands, even if Takaya returns to Sagi with a few battleships, he will definitely be sent to a military court by the politicians above who need to exonerate himself, or at least bear the fault of dereliction of duty. At worst, he may be convicted of fearing the enemy and cowardly. ”

Li Mingbo was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this relationship.

Of course, Zhou Yongtao also said a little.

Who is Takaya?

He is not only the commander of the permanent fleet, but also the first person in the navy today, the spiritual pillar of the narrow navy, and is known as the invincible god of war at sea.

According to the propaganda of the Saoyi Imperial State, if it hadn't been for Takano to turn the tide in the naval battle of the Watchman Strait, the combined fleet of the alliance group would have been defeated long ago. When the Liang Xia Navy recaptures the Watchman Strait and enters the Guia Ocean, the war will certainly not end in favor of the Alliance group.

All in all, Takano saved the combined fleet, bringing a great victory.

Not to mention the guys in the Military Command Department, even if they live in the Prime Minister's Palace, they may not be able to touch him.

In addition, as long as the Sagai authorities still want to win this war, they must rely on Takaya, because no one can do better than Takaya in the Sagi Navy.

Bai Zhizhan did not refute, after all, Zhou Yongtao is still a young man, and his view of the problem is a little biased.

"The key is that as long as Takano concludes that we are in Asahihi, and the first main team is coming at full speed, then whether it is tonight or tomorrow early morning for the final decisive battle, he will let the Third Air Force fight a battle without suspense during the day today."

"You mean ......"

"We took ourselves to the pit before that. Because he didn't go to Asahimi, he also took it for granted that Takano would keep the radio silent, and because of this, he also thought that the Third Air Force would stay in the relatively safe sea, but ignored the most likely place. ”

"Where?" Li Mingbo asked directly.

Bai Zhizhan smiled and gave Zhou Yongtao a look.

"To the southeast of the Watcher Strait, act with the second main team, at most behind the second main team, and the distance will never exceed fifty kilometers."

In Li Mingbo's surprised eyes, Zhou Yongtao picked up a pencil and circled a sea area on the chart.

It's a bit sloppy, but that's the sea he's talking about.

Previously, the three reconnaissance planes intercepted by fighter jets and the two seaplanes that did not return were all accidents in this sea area.

Before, I thought it was a fighter sent by the Third Air Force, so I didn't think deeply.

After Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao said this, even Li Mingbo felt that this was really the case, and the Third Air Force was hiding next to the Second Main Team.

The key is that in this area, the Third Air Force can dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack the home fleet that is still in the Asahi Sea and sailing towards the Watchman Strait.

Only, there is a prerequisite.

The home fleet received an order in the early hours of this morning to postpone its march into the Guia Ocean, and did not turn back, but only slowed down its sailing speed and still sailed in the direction of the strait. Then this morning, the distance of the home fleet to the Watchman Strait will not exceed three hundred kilometers.

To the sea area of the second main team, it is less than 400 kilometers.

This distance is within the combat radius of the 99 ship explosion.

Perhaps, because of the lack of carrier-based aircraft with strong attack power such as the 97 Naval Attack, the Third Air Force may not be able to annihilate the home fleet in one fell swoop, but it only needs to severely damage the capital ships of the home fleet to make the second main force have an absolute advantage in night battles.

It would have been better if the home fleet had turned to retreat after being bombed.

By tomorrow, the Navy will be able to send ground forces to the North and South Sadou Islands without interference and begin to blockade the Watchman Strait.

Even if it were to fight a decisive battle with the home fleet, after the first main team arrived, it would be nine times out of ten.

There is really only one point.

Before the Third Air Task Force arrives, the time window will only be half a day at most.

If this opportunity is missed, the Narrow Navy will have to fight the home fleet in the Overwatch Strait, and it may not be possible to achieve the desired result.

This plan must have come from Takano, because only Takano can mobilize all the teams, which also means that the first main team will definitely come to the battle.

The decisive battle of the fleet will be inevitable!
