Although he was already mentally prepared, Bai Zhizhan still couldn't accept it after the worries became reality.

Li Mingbo was very tactful and called Zhou Yongtao last time and left the officer activity center together.

"Don't think too much, this matter has to be viewed from another perspective." Li Yunxiang did not leave, and now he is the only one who can stay to enlighten Bai Zhizhan. "When thinking on the bright side, Liu Xiang really doesn't come, which means leaving us the opportunity to make contributions. What's wrong with you?"

"Take the officers and soldiers who have just gained practical experience as stepping stones to climb up?"

Li Yunxiang rolled his eyes and said, "You are sometimes too kind to women. To be honest, Liu Xiangzhen will consider these when making a decision? I'm not saying he's right, but as the highest commander of the fleet, you have to consider more important things. I believe that the thousands of officers and soldiers of the Third Air Fleet are only your leader because I believe that you can win battles and make achievements with you, not to go home, nor to live a long life. I don't even have this awareness and I am not worthy of wearing the Imperial Navy uniform!"

When Li Yunxiang said this, Bai Zhizhan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of course, Li Yunxiang knew that Bai Zhizhan was just sighing, or wanted to vent the depression that was pressing down on his heart, which was not really a woman's kindness.

If he didn't need to apply at all, Zhu Shijian would throw him to the Naval Academy.

"If you don't say it's useless, you'll be like this tomorrow?" Li Yunxiang pulled the topic back.

Bai Zhizhan rubbed his forehead and sighed again.

"If it really doesn't work, we'll..."

"There is actually nothing to worry about tomorrow's battle. Zhou Yongtao has made it clear. First, find and kill the third aviation team that is the most threatening, and at least sink or severely damage the two small fleet aircraft carriers. Eliminate your worries and you can let go and kill all directions."

Li Yunxiang nodded and did not answer.

After dinner, Zhou Yongtao told Li Yunxiang about this tactic. After getting Li Yunxiang's approval, he proposed it in front of Bai Zhizhan.

Don’t forget that Zhou Yongtao is from the third carrier-based aviation corps and is now under Li Yunxiang.

"What makes me unwilling is actually the four fast battleships of the mobile fleet. To be honest, if I could kill those four fast battleships, even if I let two main teams go away, plus Takano, I would never feel heartbroken, and would even open a bottle of champagne to celebrate."

"Are you willing to buy champagne?" Li Yunxiang said this, not because he was stingy in Bai Zhizhan, but because there was an allusion related to champagne and Erguotou.

Bai Zhizhan rolled his eyes, looking too lazy to take care of.

Li Yunxiang smiled and turned to say, "Cooked ducks can still fly?"

"Do you think you can't fly?"

"Is it possible that the four 'gold steel ships' are in the sea of ​​flames..."

Bai Zhizhan smiled and waited for Li Yunxiang to shut up before saying, "After using it all afternoon, the special group did not find the four fast battleships. Unless Liu Xiangzhen did not do his best, the only explanation is that the four fast battleships did not flee east after being hit."

Li Yunxiang frowned and said, "In the afternoon, Liu Xiangzhen will not fail to do his best."

"That's for sure. He must have wanted to expand the results at that time. After all, outside of the four fleet aircraft carriers, the four fast battleships have the greatest value. What's more, if the special mixed group continues to sail eastward, the only ones that can pose a threat to them at night will be those four fast battleships."

"So, would he be worried about being ambushed? So..."

"There is such a possibility, but not too big."

Li Yunxiang looked puzzled, obviously not thinking it through.

"Don't forget that Liu Xiangzhen also has four fast battleships in his hands, two of which are powerful 'Beihe' class. Even if they encounter them at night, they will not suffer any losses. At least they don't need to worry about being hit head-on. Besides, he is a traditional military officer with a professional background like me, and must know that he will send cruisers to conduct reconnaissance at night. He may not be able to encounter the remaining enemies of the mobile fleet at night."

After Bai Zhizhan explained this, Li Yunxiang understood.

"According to my speculation, the four 'King Kongs' must have turned south and avoided."

"Go to Mara City?"

Bai Zhizhan sighed with a wry smile, and then began to say, "How could Liu Xiangzhen not have imagined such a simple situation? Even if he didn't think about it immediately, he would definitely guess after the first reconnaissance failed. Therefore, he only needed to arrange a few reconnaissance planes to fly south during the second reconnaissance and would definitely find four fast battleships. Unfortunately, he did not make such an arrangement at all."

"This...you mean, he did it on purpose!?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded, then sighed.

"But...what is it good for him to do this?" Li Yunxiang was already dumbfounded, looking completely unbelievable.

"Do you think the four 'Jingang's' will go to Mara City?"

"Where can I go if I don't go to Mala City?" Li Yunxiang was obviously not confident enough. After Bai Zhizhan said it, he was worried that there was something wrong with his speculation.

"If so, that would be great. Even if the Newland Federation will not detain these four warships, it may not necessarily provide supplies. The key is that we have arranged so many intelligence personnel in Mara City, and we will definitely find four warships. After the matter is big, we will drag it for a few more days and wait for us to set up a net of heaven and earth. Do you think the four 'Jingang's' will have a chance to escape back to the narrow land after being driven out of Mara City?"

"If you don't go to Mara City..."

"Only one fuel supply is required, these four fast battleships can bypass the Nanzhu Islands from the south and head to the Tuk Fortress in the southwest of the Sai Navy!"

"What!?" Li Yunxiang was very shocked.

"Although the Navy may not have prepared in advance, it is not difficult to send several oil tankers to refuel the four fast battleships after leaving the Yanhai."

"But go to the Fortress of Tuk, go there..." Shocked, Li Yunxiang quickly calmed down.

That island and reef fortress belonged to the Imperial Navy more than 20 years ago, but is now occupied by the Navy Navy and has become its home port in the southwest east.

"I haven't figured it out yet?"

Li Yunxiang frowned. He really didn't understand it, or felt that he couldn't believe it.

"Don't forget that the second phase of the combat operation was mentioned in the telegram sent by the Navy Command."

"This is the problem." Li Yunxiang hesitated for a moment before saying: "The second phase of the combat operation is divided into two strategic directions. When we advocate moving south, we need to first capture the Tuk Fortress. If the four 'Jingang's ships went there, wouldn't it be a reason to support the moving south?"

"Then what?"

Li Yunxiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Zhizhan with little understanding.

"We use this as a reason to go to the Navy Command to argue, and then end up with the excuse of a small group?"

After hearing what Bai Zhizhan said, Li Yunxiang was stunned.

Obviously, this is the key!

If Bai Zhizhan's analysis is correct, Liu Xiangzhen must have deliberately released four fast battleships, and the purpose is to let the eastward advance plan proposed by him prevail in the next stage of combat operations, and ultimately become the main attack direction of the next stage of strategic offensive.

If this is true, Liu Xiang is really thinking too much!
