Chapter 125: Both

All morning, Bai Zhizhan stood next to the chart table, and did not move except to go to the toilet.

If it weren't for the battle, Li Mingbo would ask the captain to turn around with a full rudder to see if Bai Zhizhan could continue to stand there motionless.

No one bothered him, and no one dared to bother.

There has been no news, so it's definitely not good news.

According to Bai Zhi's previous speculation, as long as Liu Xiangzhen made a correct judgment, that is, the mobile fleet would attack the Third Air Task Force in the north first, he would seize the opportunity to send an attack group at the first time to launch an attack before Lan Yun figured out the situation.

Extrapolating from the point of time, the attack aircraft group of the special group can depart at nine o'clock at the latest.

In this way, the attack will begin after half past ten.

However, at half-past ten, it was still quiet in the radio channel.

Although the distance from the mobile fleet has exceeded 500 kilometers, far exceeding the combat radius of carrier-based aircraft, the working distance of airborne long-distance radio stations is more than 600 kilometers, and even if it will be affected by the weather, it will certainly be able to intercept radio signals at a distance of 500 kilometers.

In any case, before and after the attack of the group, the leader of the fleet would use the long-distance radio to report to the fleet.

For most of the next half an hour, only Bai Zhizhan was able to calm down.

In fact, Bai Zhizhan was shaken, but he didn't show it, and he couldn't show it, and all the officers and soldiers stared at him and regarded him as the backbone.

The commanders are not firm enough and still want to win the battle?

The principle of "leaving a nest of bears" also works in the navy.

Fortunately, it was only half an hour.

At 10 o'clock, the telecommunications officer delivered the news and intercepted a large number of radio signals, some of which must have been transmitted by the airborne radio stations of the Imperial Navy.

Because the signal is intermittent, it is not possible to interpret the content of the message.

In addition, a lot of the signal came from the radio stations of the Narrow Battleship, and mainly long-wave radios.

In just half an hour, there was silence in the radio channel.

Is the battle over?

The result?

How many aircraft carriers to sink?

Is there a next round of attacks?

It's just that these are not the concerns of Bai Zhizhan.

During these 20-odd minutes, Bai Zhizhan asked the telecommunications officer three times whether he had intercepted radio signals from other directions.

Bai Zhizhan is not targeting the mobile fleet?

That's clearly a fragrant bait!

After Li Yunxiang rushed back, Bai Zhizhan explained to him that Gao Ye was likely to abandon the mobile fleet that had become the target of public criticism.

To be precise, make the most of it.

Because only the Third Air Task Force, which was heading south from the port of Tingzhou, could block the Shuangche Strait, the mobile fleet sent reconnaissance planes to the north before dawn, but did not let a single reconnaissance plane fly westward. After the reconnaissance planes mistook the fleet oil tankers for aircraft carriers, the mobile fleet immediately attacked. Moreover, after discovering the fleet oil tankers, the attack aircraft group also scattered their search and sank the fleet oil tankers before returning home.

Is it all a coincidence?

If not, then it can only be said that Takano gave up the mobile fleet and asked the mobile fleet to cover the main battle team in front of him to break through.

In fact, this also confirms another conjecture of the White Stop War.

The main team is also in the sea of fire!

If not, only the mobile fleet would break through, so why did Lan Yun only stare at the north and not watch out for the special groups that were chasing after him?

In terms of threat, the task force will definitely surpass the task force of the 3rd Air Task Force.

waited until one o'clock before Li Mingbo reminded Bai Zhizhan that it was time for lunch.

Bai Zhizhan was indeed hungry, and asked Li Mingbo to go to the aviation operations center to call Li Yunxiang, so that he could discuss the tactical arrangements for the afternoon during lunch.

Talking about things at the dinner table is a habit that Bai Zhizhan learned from Zhu Shijian.

Li Mingbo knew Bai Zhizhan very well, so he went to the officers' cafeteria below first, asked the chef to prepare a few snacks that Bai Zhizhan liked, and let unrelated officers and others leave the scene by the way. By the time he called Li Yunxiang back, Bai Zhizhan had already arrived and was pouring coffee.

For most of the day, the best-selling thing in the officer's cafeteria was coffee.

Don't talk about others, just Bai Zhizhan drank most of the pot.

In addition, after eating supper in the early hours of the morning, Bai Zhizhan had not eaten for most of the day.

Breakfast?

At that time, he was busy arranging search routes for several seaplanes carried by the heavy cruiser, and he did not care about it at all.

Soon, the chef brought over the freshly made snack, that is, Bai Zhizhan's favorite brown sugar dumplings, and specially added some mash.

Some guys with ulterior motives once used this hobby to satirize Bai Zhizhan and say that he was a woman.

For a few days a month, women have to drink brown sugar water to nourish qi and blood.

Of course, those who laughed at Bai Zhi's war were all unworthy of mention.

"You're not hungry?"

Bai Zhizhan devoured a few bites, only to find that Er Li was staring at him.

Needless to say, Li Mingbo is a northerner and doesn't like southern-style food very much. Li Yunxiang is a southerner, but he doesn't like sweets.

Fortunately, the chef knew the tastes of several chief officers and prepared a few snacks.

"Eat some, you'll have to be busy in the afternoon!"

By the time the chef brought a few other snacks, Bai Zhizhan had already finished eating a bowl of small rice balls.

When Er Li was eating, Bai Zhizhan continued: "I know, you think I'm worried about the main team that I haven't found so far, and you think that I want to become a big fat man in one bite, waiting for news from the Fifth Air Force, and want to kill all the main forces of the Narrow Navy at once." ”

"Isn't it?" Li Yunxiang will not care about Bai Zhizhan's feelings.

"Strictly speaking, half the guess was right."

"Which half?"

"I am indeed waiting for news, although the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Air Force is not strong now, and after replenishing the carrier-based aircraft to the mobile fleet, there will be nothing to say, but those two fleet aircraft carriers are definitely a threat, and if they slip away, they will inevitably have endless troubles."

Hearing Bai Zhizhan say this, Li Yunxiang immediately tightened his brows, and Li Mingbo also showed a look of surprise.

Obviously, none of them expected that Bai Zhizhan did not pay attention to the main team in the command of Takaya, but paid more attention to the Fifth Air Force.

"It's just that what really makes me uncertain is actually another force."

"The Nuland Navy?" Li Mingbo asked tentatively.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Li Mingbo rarely speaks when discussing tactics, and he prefers to be a small soldier who only needs to perform tasks.

"It's not that serious." Bai Zhizhan smiled faintly and said: "Until now, we have not received any news related to the Third Air Force, and the only thing that can be sure is that when the team left Changsiao Port, it took the last batch of Zero Battles of the Narrow Navy. The question is whether these Zero battles flew to the Fifth Air Force this morning, or whether they stayed and supplemented the Fifth Air Force with 96 ship battles. ”

"Aren't there just a few dozen fighters?"

"What about time?"

Li Yunxiang was stunned, but then he understood.

If it's the former, there's nothing to say. If it is the latter, it means that the Fifth Air Force will not be replenished until the afternoon at the earliest.

If you can grasp this opportunity, you may be able to fight an easy and enjoyable war of annihilation!

At this time, the door of the dining room was pushed open, and the telecommunications officer on duty hurriedly ran in.
