Chapter 230: Something Else

The bombing lasted about fifteen minutes, with more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft dropping all of them, and only one fighter crashed as it flew back to the fleet. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

It's not that it's damaged, it's that the pilots were overexcited during the battle and forgot to pay attention to the remaining fuel.

The forced landing was only a few dozen kilometers away from the fleet, and the overboard pilot was quickly picked up by the destroyer who rushed there, except for the fact that his clothes and pants were soaked, there was no.

About an hour and a half later, a second group of attack aircraft arrived.

Although it was sufficient to conclude that a second strike was not necessary on the basis of the results of the first strike, the carrier-based aircraft carrying out the second strike had already begun to take off before the first strike report was received, and it was not allowed to land the carrier-based aircraft with bombs on the aircraft carrier.

In addition, there is no threat nearby.

The biggest threat is the shore-based aviation of the Narrow Navy, especially those that can fly thousands of kilometers away to launch attacks with aerial torpedoes or bombs.

Only, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The previous battles commanded by Bai Zhizhan have proved that without the cover of fighters, twin-engine bombers such as the Type 96 land attack will not be able to break through the air defense system of the fleet based on air defense fighters, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the fleet, and a single attack is tantamount to death.

Liu Xiangzhen also left enough air defense fighters behind to cope with a large-scale attack.

It is precisely in this way that the second round of strikes has not been canceled.

After the second bombardment, there were no fixed targets worth bombing on Liuhuang Island.

Although there were still a large number of narrow soldiers on the island, and a large number of fortifications, such as pillboxes and trenches, these objectives were left to the warships.

After receiving the battle report sent back by the leader of the first attack group, Liu Xiangzhen broke the silence and reported the assault to the naval command, and then reported the results of the second assault. It's just that after that, Liu Xiangzhen ordered to enter the state of radio control.

At that time, Bai Zhizhan received the first war report.

Although it would not be until about two hours later that he would receive the second battle report forwarded by the Navy Command, after getting the first battle report, Bai Zhizhan realized that Liu Xiangzhen definitely did not connect those events yesterday, or did not become alert because of them.

Fortunately, there were no accidents, and the battle was under control.

According to Liu Xiangzhen's war report, the special mixed group is actually in the southwest of Liuhuang Island, not in the west.

In other words, the special task force is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Narrow Yi mainland, and even within the strike range of the Type 96 land attack, it will definitely exceed the combat radius of the zero battle.

In addition, there is no intelligence to prove that the Narrow-Sized Navy has gained more Zero Battles.

To put it simply, as long as Liu Xiangzhen retains enough air defense fighters, then even if he is attacked, he will not suffer much loss.

Until the telecommunications officer sent the second telegram, Bai Zhizhan stood in front of the chart, pondering.

Zhou Yongtao took the telegram and did not let the telecommunications officer disturb Bai Zhizhan.

To say, Zhou Yongtao is now the chief of staff of the First Task Force.

Because it was formed on an ad hoc basis and had to be kept secret, the Navy Command did not issue any other personnel orders except for Liu Changxun, who verbally appointed Bai Zhizhan as the commander of the First Task Force. In accordance with the previous precedent, the commander temporarily appointed the command staff to other posts.

It's just that Bai Zhizhan did not make these arrangements.

There is no need for this, because many of the officers and men of the headquarters are from the First Air Task Force, and some are staff officers of the Second Air Task Force Command who have returned to the team after recovering from their injuries, and all of them are veterans, so it is good to know their position and obey the orders of the commander.

If anything, Zhou Yongtao has no official position in the task force headquarters.

Fortunately, everyone knows that Zhou Yongtao is Bai Zhizhan's little follower.

"Let me ask you a question."

As soon as he spoke, Bai Zhizhan found that the staff officers in the bridge were all looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. This is the battle report that has just been received, the second round of bombardment has ended, and the task force has entered a state of control. ”

"In this way, Liu Xiangzhen will launch a landing operation as planned."

Zhou Yongtao nodded and didn't say much.

According to the plan, after the successful assault, it will be transferred to the stage of landing operations, to be precise, preliminary preparations, and the time taken will be determined according to the situation.

It's just that now it seems that it will certainly not take too long.

The reason is also very simple, the original plan was to use at least three bombings to break down the defense force of Liuhuangdao and seize air and sea supremacy on the battlefield. The reality is that air supremacy was already gained after the first bombing, and the second bombing was actually a waste of bombs.

The defense deployment of Liuhuang Island is so poor, how long will it take to prepare for firepower before landing?

The plan was to use at least five days, and it could be extended to a maximum of ten days, and the relevant preparations were made.

Now it seems that maybe three days will be enough.

"You started saying you wanted to ask me a question?" Zhou Yongtao reminded Bai to stop fighting.

"Oh, yes." Bai Zhizhan put down the telegram in his hand. "I know Liu Xiangzhen too well, so it is difficult to make accurate speculations about Liu Xiangzhen's behavior without being influenced by myself. If you can, you take the position of the commander of the task force and deduce the actions below. “

"Me?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and turned to step aside.

Zhou Yongtao clenched his fists, as if to cheer himself up, walked to the chart, and then buried his head in contemplation.

Although he often fantasizes about one day sitting in the position of fleet commander and commanding the fleet to defeat a powerful enemy, Zhou Yongtao is still a little stage frightened when it comes to empathy.

He is only in his twenties, and what he lacks is not only experience, but also the ability to build on experience!

In modern warfare, there are no generals who can command thousands of armies and horses at a young age, as in ancient times, and kill all sides.

If you have to, that's also the character in it.

Bai Zhizhan didn't urge him, anyway, there was time.

While Zhou Yongtao was still pondering, Shen Pu and Zhu Huasheng came to the commander's bridge. Seeing Zhou Yongtao's serious look, neither of them said a word.

"If I were him, I would definitely attack early."

At the same time as saying this, Zhou Yongtao raised his head and found that Shen Pu and Zhu Huasheng were also here.

"Leave us alone, just when we don't exist." Shen Pu smiled, pulled Zhu Huasheng, and walked behind Bai Zhizhan.

"It's fast enough, do you want to go ahead?" Bai Zhizhan asked.

Zhou Yongtao nodded and said, "The army has won a great victory on the Ice Storm Peninsula, and if you really want to say it, it is not far from landing on the Sayi mainland." Whether it is a blockade, or a flank attack from the south, even if it is a feint, it is necessary to take Liuhuang Island as soon as possible, and General Liu Xiangzhen must understand this truth. ”

Bai Zhizhan nodded thoughtfully, but did not comment.

Zhou Yongtao's evaluation is pertinent, without personal position.

"Why can't it be bombing?" Shenpu suddenly came out of nowhere.

At this time, not only did Bai stop fighting, but even Zhou Yongtao showed a surprised look, and looked at him, wondering if he was joking.

Bombing useful?

Even if it is useful, Liuhuang Island is too far away from the mainland.

At this time, Zhu Huasheng opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you hungry?" I'm hungry, or I'll go first......"

"Let's go to lunch, everyone's hungry."

After Zhu Huasheng said it, Bai Zhizhan found that it had already been open until noon.
