The room sank temporarily, and after getting Nie Renfeng's consent, Gan Yongxing handed over the third piece of information to Tan Renhao.

"The Japanese First Air Fleet left the port of Yokohama yesterday, and this morning our submarine spotted this fleet near Hachitoshi Island, which has four large aircraft carriers and one small aircraft carrier." Gan Yongxing also lit a cigarette, "Now, the First Air Fleet is probably training in this sea area. In addition, Japan is organizing a large landing transport fleet in the Shikoku area. If nothing else, Japan will probably make landfall on Jeju Island at the end of this month, or at the beginning of next month, or the island of Taiwan. ”

"However, we all believe that it is more likely that Japan will land on the island of Taiwan, and if they are going to land on Jeju Island, there is no need for the First Air Fleet to be dispatched." Nie Renfeng's facial muscles twitched a few times, "If the Japanese army is allowed to land on the island of Taiwan, then the industrial areas of the Pearl River Estuary in the south of the empire, the industrial areas of the Yangtze River estuary in the east, and the shipyards in the Fujian region will all be exposed to the strike range of Japanese bombers, which will lead to a significant decline in the war potential of the empire, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"In other words, we want to prevent the Japanese landing on the island of Taiwan."

Tan Renhao nodded, and then said: "Then the best way is to destroy the Japanese First Air Fleet, so that the landing force will not have effective air cover and support, then they will naturally have to give up the landing operation on the island of Taiwan." ”

"yes, so we have to find a way to take out the First Air Fleet." Nie Renfeng paused for a moment, and his eyes stopped on Tan Renhao for a few seconds, "Now, two tasks are in front of us at the same time, that is, to destroy the Japanese to salvage the warships in Naha Port, and at the same time to deal with the Japanese First Air Fleet, the only one who can perform this task is the Western Pacific Fleet." ”

"Marshal, when can I return to the Fifth Fleet?" Tan Renhao has not changed the name of the fleet, in his opinion, the Fifth Fleet is his maiden home.

Nie Renfeng laughed, and Gan Yongxing also laughed.

"Colonel, don't be so excited. The Fifth Fleet had already left Bohai Bay yesterday and is now on its way to the port of Qingdao, and in addition, we have prepared transport planes for you, ready to go at any time if you wish. Gan Yongxing glanced at Nie Renfeng, and after Nie Renfeng nodded, he continued, "Now, there is only one task force in the Western Pacific Fleet, and this is the first task force. Wu Xianyu appointed General Ji Xiaobin as the commander of the task force, and Ji Xiaobin left the position of chief of staff of the task force vacant, which is left to you. However, before you return to the Western Pacific Fleet, you must know that this mission is very difficult, and it can be said that it is a life and death for nine deaths, and there is no one certainty of victory. However, we cannot tolerate any failure, because we can no longer afford to lose, and both missions must be completed in order to ensure the safety of the Empire. Now, can you tell me how to fight? ”

Tan Renhao was slightly startled, and then laughed awkwardly, he didn't think about how to fight Gu Oh at all, but now the chief of staff of the Navy asked him to give an answer.

Nie Renfeng smiled and nodded at Tan Renhao, he also needed to know how Tan Renhao was going to fight this battle.

Tan Renhao could only quickly think about the information he had obtained before, and then he had a general idea. "It's a bit tough to do two tasks at once, but it's not hopeless. However, I think the point is to take out the First Air Fleet, and if the bombing of Naha is the bait, then the First Air Fleet will be able to lure the First Air Fleet into the war, which will give us the opportunity to attack the First Air Fleet. ”

Nie Renfeng frowned slightly, and then glanced at Gan Yongxing. Gan Yongxing nodded slightly, obviously, the battle arrangement he considered was also like this.

"Colonel, how sure are you?" Gan Yongxing asked a very direct question.

Tan Renhao laughed awkwardly, if he said that he was sure, he didn't even have a grasp of it.

"We can provide you with the best conditions, the pilots are the best, and all the fighters are in the best condition, the ammunition has been improved, and the Naval Staff and Intelligence Service will provide you with timely intelligence assistance. If you need to, we can even help you send a request for support to the Army, even if it's shameless, but it's ......."

"Chief of Staff, you said you could apply for a request for support from the Army?" Tan Renhao interrupted Gan Yongxing's words a little unreasonably.

Gan Yongxing nodded. "As long as you feel it is necessary, I will lose face and go and make a request to the Chief of Staff of the Army in person."

"I will also call Marshal Yan Dingyu, at least I had a little friendship with Yan Dingyu back then, and I believe he will not refuse my request."

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, and then had an obvious idea. "Marshal, then help me ask for the support of the Army Aviation, and I will tell you the specific arrangements after I have made a detailed plan."

Nie Renfeng nodded, and then laughed. "Colonel, how sure are you now?"

"There is at least a 20% certainty, and if the cooperation of the army aviation can be fully in place, it may be a little higher." Tan Renhao nodded slightly as he spoke, "Of course, our hopes are not completely pinned on the army aviation, but the assistance of the army aviation will be very important." ”

Gan Yongxing frowned slightly, obviously he wanted to know a little more.

"Actually, the army aviation is our pathfinder force, and it creates an opportunity for us." Tan Renhao smiled, and then told his general thoughts.

At this time, Gan Yongxing nodded with some satisfaction. "Okay, then we'll help you contact Lu Airlines and let Lu Airlines provide maximum support."

Nie Renfeng stood up. "Colonel, the transport plane will take off in about half an hour, you should hurry up and pack your bags!"

Tan Renhao immediately said goodbye to the two, and after bringing a few changes of clothes, he rushed directly to the airport. A transport plane of the Navy is ready to take off. From Zhoushan to Qingdao, it takes about three hours to fly. In the afternoon of the same day, Tan Renhao rushed to Qingdao, and the First Task Force of the Western Pacific Fleet (later called the First Task Force if there was no special need) led by Rear Admiral Ji Xiaobin had already arrived at Qingdao Port. Tan Renhao didn't have any delay, and returned to the fleet directly.
