"Everyone, please be seated!" In addition to Lei Shaoqing and Hao Dongjue, Tan Renhao is the youngest one.

Many officers sat down one after another, and the pilots would be here to listen to operational briefings before the attack. Although the cabin is not very large, there are dozens of chairs and a small podium in front of it.

"I won't say much about the combat mission, you have all already received the mission briefing in the afternoon. This time, we are going to fight the enemy, of course, when fighting the enemy, we have to protect ourselves, I don't want to play a game with the little devils, the 'lowly widows' are not qualified to play such a game with us! ”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter. The Japanese were considered inferior by the civil war that broke out more than 400 years ago, and many of them became cheap laborers, so the subjects of the empire had always considered the Japanese to be inferior, and this perception may have changed a lot over the centuries, but this joke has survived.

"Well, cheer up, everyone, all units must be fully prepared during the crossing, and we do not know when we will encounter the Japanese fleet, so I ask that at any time, if you receive an order, the first plane should take off within five minutes." Tan Renhao's gaze shifted to Luo Jinming's body, "Colonel, is there a problem?" ”

"No, maybe two minutes will be enough." Luo Jinming smiled faintly.

"Very well, I believe that the Fifth Wing will be the first unit in the Imperial Navy to make a major feat."

"And what is the Second Fleet?" Zhang Naiding shouted below.

The eyes of all the officers fell on Tan Renhao, the imperial government had announced the major "victory" of the Second Fleet, and now the country was touting the outstanding performance of the Second Fleet.

"Second Fleet?" Tan Renhao sneered, "You have seen those warships outside, do you also believe those bullshit words used to inspire the people?" We are soldiers of the Empire, and our military spirit cannot be fluctuated by the slightest petty. Fuck ****** Second Fleet, now we're going to prove that the Fifth Fleet, the Fifth Air Wing is the hero of the Imperial Navy, let those braggart bastards shut up for us! ”

Everyone immediately burst out laughing, and they all felt like they were breathing foul.

"However, laughing aside, only by showing results can we prove our strength." Tan Renhao glanced at these officers, felt that his morale had been raised, and then changed his mouth and said, "Now, I will arrange the specific tasks during the crossing. The fleet's air defense patrol radius was reduced to 20 nautical miles, and 12 air defense fighters were kept on patrol. In addition, 4 fighters are to be parked on the deck at all times. Colonel Luo Jinming, is there a problem? ”

Luo Jinming was stunned for a moment, and said a little hesitantly: "Chief of Staff, is 20 nautical miles too short?" ”

"No, that's enough." Tan Renhao walked to the middle of the pilots, "If we want to suddenly attack the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet, it is most important to stay covert. And even if we extend the range of air defense interception to 150 nautical miles, so what? If the Japanese find out about our whereabouts, even if the aircraft carrier is full of fighters, we will suffer heavy damage. ”

Luo Jinming frowned slightly, and didn't say anything. According to Tan Renhao's plan, covert engagement with the enemy is the most important link, and before the specific whereabouts of Japan's Southwest Combined Fleet are determined, the Fifth Fleet must "disappear," and as long as it is discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes or other reconnaissance units, then this combat operation will be declared a failure.

"Of course, I share the same thoughts as you. What if the Japanese Southwestern Combined Fleet suddenly went south? Tan Renhao sneered, "However, this worry is unnecessary, will the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet go south?" They're definitely not, they'll judge that we're heading north, so they'll intercept us in the middle of the Yellow Sea. ”

"It's a gamble!" Major Yang Shihong spoke.

"War is originally a gamble, the commander of the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet is Nagumo Kazutada, you may not know this person, but I still know a little about him." Tan Renhao pulled a chair and sat down, "Now, it's like we're sitting at the same table as Nanyun Yizhong, we're all blindfolded, and then guess each other what cards each other will play. So how do we know what cards the other hand will play? Because we can analyze the other person's mentality, the other person's behavior, and then make a judgment based on that. Of course, Nagumo Yizhong will do the same, but he is analyzing the behavior of Commander Wu Xianyu, not ours. What would Commander Wu Xianyu do if he were to command this combat operation? He would certainly lead the fleet north, covering the convoy of transports on the flanks. Now, we will do the opposite and let Nagumo Kazutada attack our convoy, and as long as we seize the opportunity, then the end of the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet will come. ”

"However, Japan's long-range maritime reconnaissance planes deployed in the Ryukyu Islands and Kyushu Island may also detect us." The next question was raised by Major Deng Zichao.

"Yes, however, Nagumo Kazutada is too cautious, we have been silent, he will definitely send a reconnaissance plane to find us, instead of relying on guesswork to judge our position, of course, no commander will decide the combat operation through guesswork." Tan Renhao stood up, "So, which direction will he search for first?" It must be the sea area northwest of Jeju Island, and the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet cannot fly that far at all, and Nagumo Iktashi can only call in shore-based long-range patrol planes. In order to prevent a surprise attack from behind, Nagumo Kazutada would use a carrier-based reconnaissance plane to search the sea areas to the south and southwest. In this way, it is possible for both fleets to discover each other at the same time, and even if this is the case, we must have a great chance of winning. ”

Several aviation officers glanced at each other, and no one asked any more questions. In fact, there is no need for Tan Renhao to explain to these aviation officers in such detail. In the fleet, aviation officers are not involved in the decision-making process, and their task is to carry out operational orders, to carry out operational orders issued by the fleet staff and the aviation staff.

Seeing that no one from the aviation officer put forward an opinion, Tan Renhao stopped explaining, and he quickly arranged other tasks. Of course, Tan Renhao did not deny that there was a problem with his analysis, but he did not express his worries and doubts to these aviation officers, which belonged to the aviation staff.
