Almost at the same time, Bai Zhizhan also received a telegram on the "Hengjiang", and to be precise, the communications staff officer sent the telegram he had just received.

After reading it, Bai Zhizhan handed the message to Zhou Yongtao, who was standing next to him.

What came from the command of the Navy was not good news.

Just a few hours ago at noon today, the Fifth Guard Bureau, which was in charge of intelligence security, captured a narrow spy in the port of Puzhou, and found out that the spy had sent an extremely crucial telegram before he was caught, and the First Task Force was likely to have been exposed.

It was because the monitoring radio intercepted the signal sent by the spy that the people of the Fifth Bureau found the spy by the wayside.

This narrow spy named Yoshikawa has been lurking in the Liangxia Empire for twenty years!

Disguised as a refugee from the Kamigao Kingdom, he came to the empire before the end of the last war, and more than a decade ago opened a fast food restaurant near the port of Puzhou that specialized in gimbap, mainly for shipyard workers, and later also for takeaways, which he often delivered himself.

Because of his enthusiasm and generosity, and he is very talkative, he is very familiar with the shipyard workers.

Before he was arrested, in fact, it was only in the morning of the same day that he went to the shipyard to deliver takeaways, and the person who ordered the food was the construction unit on the side of the floating dock.

At his home, agents from the Fifth Bureau searched for dozens of freshly developed photos.

Several of the photos are oil tankers in the floating dock, and they are very clearly photographed, and you can see that they are oil tankers.

In the eyes of professional intelligence officers, the difference between an oil tanker and an aircraft carrier is still very large. Not to mention the part above the waterline, only the hull below the waterline, because the tanker does not need to sail fast, and the carrying capacity is huge, so compared with the aircraft carrier, it looks more bloated.

The interrogation was still ongoing, but it was certain that this was Yoshikawa's first telegram after twenty years of lurking in the Empire, and it was certainly not active before.

At least not personally using the radio to send the news.

Radio signals can be easily intercepted and locked, and unless it's urgent, a high-ranking spy like Yoshikawa rarely sends a report in person.

Obviously, the information he sent definitely pointed to the "Yokoe".

"!" Zhou Yongtao cursed in a low voice, and then said: "Are those guys in the fifth bureau all rice buckets?" A spy who had been lurking for so long had only now found out. ”

"It's because it's been dormant for too long that it's hard to spot."

Bai Zhizhan was also speechless, but he didn't complain about anything, because it was useless to complain.

Although he has never done intelligence work, but with Zheng Jiangming, an iron buddy, and Wang Kaiyuan, a friend, Bai Zhizhan still has some understanding of intelligence work. Spies like this who have been lurking for twenty years are all going for key information, and they generally don't make a move. They are usually no different from ordinary people, they live a normal life, and as long as they are inactive, the intelligence and security agencies will not be able to detect them at all.

You can't say that immigrants are spies, right?

Besides, should all the suspicious people be arrested and interrogated?

This cannot be the case in wartime, let alone peacetime.

"What now?"

"Cold salad!"

Zhou Yongtao was obviously stunned, this can't be blamed on him, Bai Zhizhan spoke the Yuzhou dialect.

"If you want me to say, don't care."

"......"

Bai Zhizhan smiled and said, "But it's just an aircraft carrier, could it be that it can scare Lan Yun away?" Besides, did Lan Yun know that he had been targeted? ”

Zhou Yongtao tightened his brows, although Bai Zhizhan's judgment had some truth, but if nothing happened, it wouldn't work.

"Let's make arrangements, and when you're ready, we'll go as soon as we're ready."

"Okay, I'm going to give the pilot a mission briefing."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and after Zhou Yongtao went out, he turned his gaze to the sea chart.

Above, in the waters east of Guguan Island in the central part of the North Malaysia Islands, an area has been marked, and a small flag planted in this area has marked the time.

That's right, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, about fifteen minutes ago.

At that time, Lan Yun was watching the 97 boat drill into the clouds in the north on the "Golden Gang".

It was not a 97 boat, but a "white swan" of the Imperial Navy. It's just that the sides of the fuselage and the underside of the wings of the "White Swan" were painted with red paint, that is, a red circle, and some green-yellow paint was casually painted.

In this way, the "White Swan" will become a 97 boat!

The means are a bit inferior, especially the paint on the fuselage, which looks less like camouflage, more like old.

Perhaps the officers and soldiers who got these things used to be engaged in antique trading.

In terms of appearance, the "White Swan" is indeed a little similar to the 97 boat, for example, they are all four engines, all of which are typical supported upper wings, the bottom fuselage of the boat type is very fat, and there are stable pontoons outside the middle of the wing. If there is a difference, the horizontal tail of the "White Swan" is larger, the vertical tail at each end is much higher, there is a stabilizer under each end of the horizontal tail, and there is no self-defense machine gun installed in the tail.

From a distance, the "White Swan" does look like a poorly maintained 97 boat.

There was more than one "White Swan" sent to the east of the North Malaysia Islands, a total of eight.

These "white swans" all flew over from Foot Island on the night of the 17th, and the captain of the team was He Weigui, who fished up Zesan in South Zhuhai.

According to Bai Zhizhan's arrangement, the aviation service personnel on board the "Hengjiang" renovated eight patrol planes overnight. In fact, it was to remove all non-essential equipment, including self-defense machine guns, and then install several soft fuel tanks in the engine room, which saved hundreds of kilograms of gasoline.

In addition, the engine was carefully checked.

Of course, it also has to be painted with the identification mark of the Narrow-minded Navy.

In the early morning of the 18th, the patrol planes left the fleet and flew north of the North Malaysia Islands, then east, and finally south.

Two adjacent patrol planes maintain a distance of 20 kilometers, and eight patrol aircraft can cover almost 200 kilometers wide sea area.

Unless Lan Yun did not plan to directly kill the landing ground of Liuhuang Island, the permanent fleet would take a shortcut, and the distance from the North Malaysia Islands would definitely be within 200 kilometers.

Before leaving, Bai Zhizhan also personally told the eight captains.

After spotting the fleet, don't get too close, don't panic, don't send an immediate report, hover at a relatively safe distance for a while, and then turn to fly north. It was necessary to fly at least 100 kilometers before activating the radio and reporting the findings to Task Force 1.

At around four o'clock, it was He Weigui who drove the "White Swan".

If the telegram had been sent back by someone else, Bai Zhizhan would have put a question mark. It was Lieutenant He Weigui who found out, so it must be right.

This person is very down-to-earth, very responsible, and will never report the enemy's situation indiscriminately.

It was that, after receiving the telegram, Bai Zhizhan gave the order to fight.

The carrier-based aircraft have all been checked, and the pilots are on standby, ready to go after refueling and reloading.

Of course, before refueling and reloading, Zhou Yongtao had to draw up strike tactics and give the pilot a briefing on the mission before setting off. Because it was led by Shen Pu and Zhu Huasheng, the briefing was very simple, only the target of the attack was clear, and the rest was arranged by the team leader and squadron leader.

In fact, these are the duties of the aviation operations staff officer or the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing.

Li Yunxiang was in charge before, and now it is Zhou Yongtao's turn.
