The fleet arrived in Naha on the 27th, and the maintenance work of the "Changjiang" aircraft carrier was officially completed. The engineers also used the half-day they had earned to make a comprehensive diagnosis of the aircraft carrier. Although all the repair work was carried out in a hurry, the quality of the repairs did not determine, and the aircraft carrier was fully restored. According to Zhang Qingsheng's words, it can perform any task on the design index.

Before the flagship docked, Tan Renhao had already taken a small boat ashore first, and then went directly to the headquarters of the Second Task Force here. It's a pity that Tan Renhao came one step late, and the second task force left Naha on the night of the 26th (just to make room for the first task force, because the high-pressure refueling equipment on the dock, and the cranes for replenishing ammunition are limited), Lei Shaoqing and Chang Jianxin have already left Naha. In desperation, Tan Renhao could only use the newly built submarine cable to talk to Gan Yongxing on the phone.

Tan Renhao's idea is a bit simple, even if he has sufficient reasons and thinks that he has enough confidence to complete the task, this campaign operation is not only the participation of the First Task Force, but also the participation of two other task forces, a large number of shore-based troops of the Navy, the Strategic Strike Force of the 6th Combat Force, and a large number of other troops, the First Task Force is only one of these participating units, and it is not the most important one. No matter how highly used Tan Renhao was and how reasonable his opinions were, it was impossible for Gan Yongxing to agree to his request.

After grinding his mouth for more than half an hour, he even felt bored talking about Renhao himself.

"What's the answer from the Chief of Staff?"

Hao Dongjue rushed over after arranging the oil and water supplies of the fleet.

"What else can I do, the chief of staff won't agree at all."

Tan Renhao walked out of the communication room of the Second Task Force Headquarters, and now the cable is only open and is still being debugged, so only here can he talk to Zhoushan on the phone. "But the chief of staff gave me a hint."

"Hint?"

Hao Dongjue didn't understand a little, he immediately followed Tan Renhao's pace, "What hint?" ”

Tan Renhao smiled. Seeing that many officers came and went, they did not rush to say it.

"Renhao, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me?"

Hao Dongjue didn't care so much.

"What's the hurry?"

Tan Renhao walked all the way to the parking place, and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned against the door of the jeep he was driving, "The chief of staff hinted that our first task force has enough freedom of action. He could talk to the Headmaster about relaxing the restrictions on Task Force 1's activities to give us more freedom. Of course. The condition is that we must complete the campaign mission, and we cannot cause the campaign to fail, even a little defeat. ”

Hao Dongjue then understood, and then lowered his head and thought.

"When I left Zhoushan, the principal also talked to me about it."

Tan Renhao handed a cigarette to Hao Dongjue: "How much time does it take to replenish the fleet?" ”

"It took at least eight hours, we arrived four hours earlier than scheduled, and the refueling was not ready yet."

Hao Dongjue lit a cigarette: "Yesterday, the Second Task Force took away almost all the fuel stored in several temporary oil depots at the dock. None of them have been added now. I also asked the officers and men to go ashore in batches. Just to let everyone relax, after going to sea, I'm afraid there will be no comfortable days for a while. ”

Tan Renhao did not object to Hao Dongjue's arrangement. Hao Dongjue often mingles with grassroots officers and soldiers, and knows best what grassroots officers and soldiers need.

"Then let's go eat first."

Tan Renhao looked at his watch, "The chief of staff needs time to convince the principal, after dinner, let's come over and wait for the call." ”

The two drove to the adjacent base command, which was actually next to each other, with only a one- to one-and-a-half-person-high fence in the middle, which separated the fleet command from the base command. Tan Renhao has not forgotten the restaurant at the base headquarters, and they often went there to eat when they were just in the Fifth Fleet.

"Looks like we're in luck!"

Tan Renhao laughed when he saw the signboard of the hotel. "Dongjue, what are you calling the boss's daughter? Is it interesting that Emerald Flower is still something? ”

"What?"

Hao Dongjue also felt embarrassed, "Someone else's name is Qiong Yuhua, but now it seems that I have been a teacher, and I haven't contacted him for more than a year." ”

"It's over so soon?"

Tan Renhao smiled and looked at Hao Dongjue, he also felt strange, Hao Dongjue's face was notoriously thick, how could he turn red?

"Don't talk nonsense. You can't tarnish the innocence of someone else's girl's family. We're just ordinary friends, and we're just talking. ”

Hao Dongjue showed a very serious look, but he had never been serious. "We are pen pals, do we know what a pen pal is? You kid definitely don't know, if you know, then it's weird, be careful, I'll go to my sister-in-law to beat your little report. ”

This made Tan Renhao speechless, he didn't do anything, and Hao Dongjue said a few words like this, as if he was a traitor.

When the two walked into the hotel, the proprietress didn't recognize the two young generals at all, and when Hao Dongjue mentioned Qiong Yuhua, the proprietress realized that these two young generals were two of the young officers who came to visit a few years ago. Tan Renhao, they must be regarded as "old" customers, and the proprietress is also extraordinarily attentive, and after a while, a few small dishes were delivered.

Because they had to go back and wait for the call, neither Tan Renhao nor Hao Dongjue offered to drink, they just came to fill their stomachs. As a result, the meal only took twenty minutes, and before the last dish was delivered, the two of them checked out and left. Soon after they rushed back to the communications room of the Second Task Force Headquarters, Gan Yongxing's phone call returned. Gan Yongxing's return degree was also surprisingly fast, in Tan Renhao's opinion, it would take an hour or two, and it turned out that it was only thirty-five minutes.

"Okay, I understand."

Tan Renhao glanced at Hao Dongjue outside the door: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, I'm measured." ”

"What did the Chief of Staff say?"

Tan Renhao hadn't left the communication room yet, and Hao Dongjue greeted him.

"Good news."

Tan Renhao walked quickly towards the parking place, "After you go back, you will arrange the supply of the fleet first." Put some pressure on the base command, if they don't cooperate, take the principal...... No. Take the marshal and the chief of staff to press them, do you know how to do it? ”

Hao Dongjue nodded immediately, and he can still play with this little wrist.

"If there are not enough manpower, organize some officers and soldiers to participate in the supply work."

Tan Renhao opened the car door and let Hao Dongjue get into the car first, and then he also got on it and moved the jeep. "It's better for the fleet to show up after dark, and if you can get an extra minute, it's a minute."

"What the hell did the Chief of Staff say?"

Hao Dongjue asked anxiously. He wanted to know what made Tan Renhao so active and wanted the fleet to come out as soon as possible.

Tan Renhao smiled mysteriously. "After arranging these things, you go to me, and we will have to discuss it carefully."

Hao Dongjue rolled his eyes, and he didn't bother to ask, anyway, Tan Renhao had to tell him sooner or later.

After returning to the fleet, Hao Dongjue immediately went to arrange the supply area. Tan Renhao did not rush back to his official cabin, but went to the communication cabin, where he waited for a telegram from the naval headquarters. The telegram was very long, and the two communications officers in charge of translation and proofreading were busy for half an hour before sorting out the telegram and handing it over to Tan Renhao.

Hao Dongjue rushed back at four o'clock in the afternoon. After putting pressure on the command of the base. The resupply was arranged, and the most troublesome refueling was expected to be completed at half-past six, while the fleet was scheduled to leave at seven. And at this time. Most of the ship's power systems are running after a simple overhaul (the main thing is to keep the boiler at a certain pressure and temperature to ensure that the boiler can reach the best condition when the ship leaves the port) "Can you tell me now?" ”

Hao Dongjue threw his oil-stained gloves on the table and looked very dissatisfied.

Tan Renhao put down the telegram in his hand and looked at Hao Dongjue curiously, and then Hao Dongjue looked like a mouse that had just come out of the sewer.

"There's a high-pressure oil that blew up and splashed me with heavy oil."

Hao Dongjue said as he took off his military uniform.

"Throw it in the basin and don't stain the table!"

Tan Renhao hurriedly said. He's not the kind of person who likes to be sloppy.

"Well, my commander!"

Hao Dongjue shrugged his shoulders and threw the dirty clothes into Tan Renhao's basin, but he didn't see that there was a basin specially used for dirty clothes. "What did the Chief of Staff tell you?"

"Look at this telegram."

Tan Renhao first threw a handkerchief to Hao Dongjue, anyway, he was in charge of washing clothes, not the orderly on the battleship. "We just received it, and we're lucky this time."

Hao Dongjue wiped his hands with a hand towel and rubbed his shirt a few times. When he saw the part of the telegram marked by Tan Renhao, he immediately stared at him. Then he laughed.

"We're not the unluckiest this time."

Tan Renhao took out a cigarette: "If this information is reliable, then we will have good luck." ”

"You guessed everything?"

Hao Dongjue looked at Tan Renhao with admiration.

"What do you mean?"

Tan Renhao didn't react.

Hao Dongjue immediately flipped through the table and quickly found the map he had drawn on it with Tan Renhao that day. Then he pointed to the red line on it and said, "You drew the ground two days ago, don't you remember?" Renhao, can you kid predict the future, how can you be so accurate? ”

Tan Renhao looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "I didn't think of this at the time. I'm just making a rough guess based on the best possible scenario, and I don't remember it myself. ”

"Don't lie to me, did you already guess?"

Hao Dongjue immediately dragged the chair over and made it down.

"Whatever you want, I'm just extrapolating based on probability."

Tan Renhao didn't want to argue with Hao Dongjue on this issue of luck, "Now that we have caught the clue of the American fleet, this is an opportunity, although it is not a very good opportunity, but it is an opportunity that can lead us to victory." The principal has agreed to let us increase the scope of our activities, and now it's up to us to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

Hao Dongjue nodded immediately, and then lit a cigarette. "The best thing to do now is to kill ...... directly"

"That's not going to work."

Tan Renhao leaned back in the chair and lifted Erlang's legs. "The second task force will not be able to maneuver until the 30th, the third task force will not be deployed until the 31st, and the 6th team will not be able to complete the preparations until the 4th of the first month next year. If we go straight to the end, we will be in the range of the US fleet in the early hours of the morning after tomorrow, and I don't want to be the first to hit the wall, let alone be someone else's foreshadowing. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Didn't figure it out?"

Tan Renhao looked at Hao Dongjue's confused look and immediately laughed.

Hao Dongjue shook his head, still not understanding.

"Let's put it this way, our plan, I mean, what are the basic conditions for the first task force to achieve the greatest victory?"

Tan Renhao paused for a moment and saw that Hao Dongjue did not react, so he followed and said: "If the 6th team does not board, the 6th American fleet will not come out, and the American fleet will not come out, then we will take the risk to find them." So why don't we put our actions under control? ”

Hao Dongjue was stunned for a moment and immediately understood. "You mean to let Team 6 get started and we play the role of Yellow Sparrow first?"

"Yellow Sparrow is not counted, if we really become Yellow Sparrow, then we will go to court-martialed when we go back."

Tan Renhao shook his head and said solemnly: "What we want to play is an assassin, an assassin who ambushes and gives the enemy a fatal knife at the most critical moment!" ”

Hao Dongjue pondered for a moment and nodded with a smile. "Then it depends on whether we can seize this key opportunity, if we seize it, we are heroes, and if we can't catch it, we are sinners."

"Do you have the guts?"

"Are you barefoot afraid of wearing shoes? Do you have all of me? ”

Both laughed at the same time, and both showed the joy that came from seeing hope.

Four hours after Tan Renhao received the telegram from the headquarters, a revised telegram was sent to the "Yellow River," the flagship of the Second Task Force, which was heading to the sea area to be patrolled.
