The appearance of that reconnaissance aircraft once again proved Kitamura's speculation that the Third Air Force was in the north and perhaps had begun to launch the carrier-based aircraft carrying out attack missions.

Lan Yun did not intervene and, as the commander of the mobile fleet, did not need to interfere in all matters at all times.

Soon, the 99 ship parked on the flight deck exploded and began to take off.

In the distance, the Feilong also accelerated its speed and allowed the zero battle to take off in advance.

At this time, it was exactly 7:40.

When Kitami came out of the commander's bridge, Lan Yun was still staring at the low-pressure cumulonimbus clouds in the northwest direction, looking very depressed.

In the past few decades, Westerners have often lamented that their God has immigrated to the Liangxia Empire, Lan Yun and other military and civilians of the narrow imperial kingdom have sneered at this, thinking that such thoughts are to destroy their own prestige and increase others' ambitions. Not only is it extremely ignorant, it has no meaning at all.

Now, Lan Yun is also secretly sighing the same way.

It was just that the person who "immigrated" to the Liangxia Empire was not the Western God, but the God of Amaterasu believed by the narrow-minded people.

"Commander..."

Lan Yun came to his senses after he spoke out to remind him in Beicun.

"Are you going to prepare for the second wave of attacks immediately, or wait a little longer?"

Lan Yun frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of Beicun.

This cannot be blamed on Lan Yun, because when he was a staff officer, the carrier-based aviation force had not been born yet, and even aircraft were very rare. In aviation warfare, Lan Yun had ten orifices. However, the fleet commander was responsible for decision-making and did not need to be proficient in everything.

The fleet commander took over everything, what did the staff do?

"If we prepare for the second wave of attack now, it will take about an hour to complete. At that time, the fighter jets that were lifted off before dawn can be returned to the aircraft carrier to replenish fuel." Kitamura paused for a moment and said: "The Third Air Special Mixed Fleet is 400 kilometers away from our northeast. Even if the carrier-based aircraft is ready for takeoff before dawn, and after receiving the report of the reconnaissance aircraft, it will take at least two hours to arrive at around 9:30. If we do not launch the second wave of attack immediately, but arrange it according to the previous plan. Considering air defense operations, it will definitely not be able to send the attack aircraft group before 9:30."

"The first wave of aircraft has already set off, and the first zero battle will arrive at around 8:30. Next, at least one hour is still there, which isn't enough?"

According to the previous arrangement, the second wave of attack will be launched after the first wave of aircraft fleet arrives and launches an attack, that is, after confirming that the reconnaissance aircraft has found the third aviation special-mix fleet, it will only launch the second wave of attack. The key is that the maneuver fleet is just a small number of carrier-based aircraft, and must not be aimless.

"One hour is definitely enough, but by that time, priority must be given to the return of air defense fighters. The flight deck is occupied and the attack aircraft cannot take off." Kitamura gritted his teeth and said, "If the fighters are allowed to return now, then the second wave of attack..."

Lan Yun pressed his hands down, and Beicun didn't say anything more.

Recycling combat opportunities occupy the flight deck, and it will definitely not allow the fighter aircraft that performs the second wave of attack mission to prepare, which will inevitably delay the launch time of the second wave of attack. If it is dragged until half past nine, there may be no chance to let the carrier-based aircraft that performs the second wave of attack take off.

Even if you can, you have to delay it until after eleven o'clock.

After a few hours of delay, will the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet still be in that area and do nothing?

However, now a second wave of attack is launched, what if the reconnaissance plane gets it wrong?

Also, who can guarantee that the special mixed fleet that fought yesterday was not following behind?

If the special-mix fleet is still chasing and the third aviation special-mix fleet in the north turns to avoid it after being exposed, then launching a second wave of attacks now is equivalent to wasting troops. Next, when the special-mix fleet following behind is discovered, what will be used to launch an attack?

Don’t forget that even if everything goes well in the first wave of attack aircraft, it will take three hours to fly back and forth for 800,000 meters. Including the time spent on refueling and loading after returning, theoretically, the most block can be dispatched again before noon, but in fact, it will definitely take more time.

It can be seen that in the next few hours, these carrier-based aircraft left on the two aircraft carriers were the only means of attack for the mobile fleet.

But Kitamura made it very clear.

If you wait until the first wave of aircraft sends back the message before making arrangements, then you will definitely not be able to dispatch the second wave of aircraft before being attacked.

After staring at the aviation service staff on the flight deck for a while, Lan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander..."

"Go and make arrangements. Don't forget to tell Major Yan Ben that I will give me fifteen minutes to personally practice for the pilot who carried out the second wave of attack mission."

Yan Ben is the fighter captain of the First Air Force and the Zero Fighter pilot. He was dispatched three times yesterday and achieved six crash results. Because Yuantian led the team to launch the first wave of attacks, You Yong was killed yesterday, so now he can only let Yan Ben be responsible for the front line command.

Kitamura didn't ask much, and he would not recommend launching a second wave of attacks.

The mobile fleet has been discovered by enemy reconnaissance aircraft and is within the strike range of the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet.

The special mixed fleet that fought yesterday is likely to follow behind.

No matter from which perspective, the mobile fleet will be hit before noon, and relying on the only dozen zero wars, it will not be able to withstand it. If the second wave of attacks is abandoned and the more than ten zero wars planned for escort are left to carry out air defense missions, there may be some hope.

But there is little hope.

The air defense fighter is really so useful. He had discovered the reconnaissance aircraft at the beginning.

In addition, yesterday's battle has also been proven.

As long as the pilots of the enemy plane are fearless and put the casualties behind them, there will always be a few that can break through the interception of air defense fighters.

It can be seen that even if enough fighter planes are left behind, it may still be of no help.

So, what else are there to worry about?

Obviously, launching a second wave of attacks now means making a choice between saving yourself and eliminating the enemy.

Kitami also realized that Lan Yun might not have had any hope from the beginning, and never thought of leading a mobile fleet to escape from the Yanhai.

Don’t forget that all the reconnaissance planes sent out before dawn were flying north.

The focus is on attacking the third aviation special-mix fleet coming from the north, which is actually covering the main team in front. If you start from your own safety, you need to be more careful about the special-mix fleet chasing behind you, so you should focus on the west and let the reconnaissance planes search the west.

From another perspective, everything suddenly became clear.

If the mobile fleet cannot escape the Yanhai, then being able to kill Liang Xia's third aviation team in today's battle and successfully cover the main team's breakthrough will also be considered a great contribution. More importantly, if this war is finally won, the upper and lower states will regard the mobile fleet and the naval soldiers of the mobile fleet as heroes to the revitalization of the imperial state, and gain a place in the temple.

Besides, if the special mixed fleet did not chase after yesterday, then launching a second wave of attacks now may be able to save yourself while eliminating the enemy!

No matter what, you can't hesitate.

Beicun did not waste time and went to find Yan Ben directly, asking Yan Ben to mobilize the pilot as soon as possible and arrange the task of launching the second wave of attacks.

In fact, Kitamura and Lan Yun were both wrong. The reconnaissance aircraft did not come from the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet.
