Chapter 335 The Final Speculation
After Bai Zhizhan adjusted the logo on the chart, let alone Li Mingbo, even Zhou Yongtao, who had just returned to the commander's bridge, frowned.
This is a deduction of the battle situation of Bai Zhizhan, which shows the battlefield situation around tomorrow morning.
The symbol representing the 16th Special Mixed Fleet in Newland is in the yellow area, south of the sea where the transport fleet is located, and the distance is more than 300 kilometers.
The sign representing the 17th Special Mixed Fleet in Newland did not move northwest, but retreated back to the southeast of the yellow area, with a distance of more than 500 kilometers. It maintains a distance of about 300 kilometers from the 16th Special Mixed Fleet in Newland, and is in an ideal position to provide air defense cover.
Part of the First Newland Fleet, the main special-mix fleet with six battleships sailed more than 200 kilometers southwards.
The entire situation is that the Newland First Fleet expanded its front width and did not block the 42nd Special Mixed Fleet on the front, but went south to prevent the 43rd Special Mixed Fleet.
The key is that the 21st Special Mixed Fleet's route to assault eastward was cut off.
"How is this possible?"
"Don't hurry, listen to me." Bai Zhizhan took two sips of coffee and continued, "Make a hypothesis first. Sup is indeed in charge of the battle, and Tian Shi cooperated with him, or acted as his assistant. They will first determine that Liu Xiangzhen will follow Zhang Guozhu's butt, and the possibility of taking the risk is not very high. Don't forget that Liu Xiangzhen's performance in Yanhai is not positive, and she is still very conservative in the later stage."
Zhou Yongtao frowned, but did not refute.
According to Liu Xiangzhen's personality, if he had not wanted to fight Bai Zhi for his war, but just to stabilize the situation, he would have been honestly staying behind the 42nd Special Mix Fleet.
"If this is the case, attacking the 21st Special Mixed Fleet will become the biggest problem."
"You mean, Hal will go south?" Li Mingbo asked directly.
Bai Zhizhan nodded and said, "Only by circling south can the attack be achieved by the suddenness of the attack. While attacking the 21st Special Mixed Fleet, he will get cover from Spoo. It is also for Hal to provide cover, and to catch us, Spoo will stay behind Hal."
"How can we deal with us when we do this?" Before Bai Zhizhan spoke, Zhou Yongtao said again, "If we concentrate our forces to attack the 21st Special Mixed Fleet first, then tomorrow morning, let alone attacking us, Hal may not even be able to send reconnaissance aircraft to search for us. As for the Special Mixed Fleet commanded by Spoo, the position is too far behind. Unless we take the initiative to rush forward, there will be no threat."
"It's true that if we can't kill us, we'll use Hal to exchange for Liu Xiangzhen." Li Mingbo shrugged his shoulders when he said this.
His expression would be better if he was really a commander of the fleet instead of a warship.
"Why don't we rush forward?"
After hearing what Bai Zhizhan said, Li Mingbo and Zhou Yongtao were both stunned.
"Or what reason does Spread think we won't rush up? Don't forget that Tian Shi of the Navy was the one who gave him advice." Bai Zhizhan smiled and said, "In the battle with the permanent fleet, we went deep into the west and east. The risks we took at that time must be much greater than the one who took the initiative to go forward now. As long as Tian Shi was in, he would make Spread believe that we would definitely go forward."
"Will Spur believe it?" Li Mingbo still felt it was impossible.
Tian Shi, the defeated general.
No matter how bad Spoo is, he wouldn't have obeyed a foreign general who suffered a series of defeats. After all, Tian Shi is really powerful, so he shouldn't have been defeated so miserably.
"Why don't you believe it?"
When Bai Zhizhan asked back, Li Mingbo pursed his lips.
"There is indeed such a possibility. If Tian Shi is really around Sp, then with his previous experience, we will definitely be sure that we will take the initiative to go forward." Zhou Yongtao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The key is that we are indeed sailing to the southeast now, that is, taking the initiative to go forward."
"Switch or slow down now..."
As soon as he said that, after noticing the expressions of Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao, Li Mingbo immediately shut up.
If you give up the opportunity, Bai Zhizhan would not have been so much trouble.
Bai Zhizhan said so much, but in fact he was to solve a choice problem.
Should we deal with Hal first or kill Sp first?
The former has much less risk, but the gains are much smaller. Conversely, the latter has greater risks, but the possible gains are also more significant.
To be more straightforward, if you can kill Spear in the east first, you will have a great chance to wipe out the Newland aircraft carrier special mixed fleet.
On the contrary, you may not miss the opportunity to destroy Spear.
The key is that the 41st Special Mixed Fleet only has two aircraft carriers.
Because it was already night, the special fleet entered a state of combat again, with only rough routes, so it was impossible to contact other fleets except breaking the radio silence. If you send a plane to Liuhuangdao, it would take four hours to fly one way, which was meaningless.
Using more than 100 carrier-based aircraft on two ships, even if the attack is successful, it will not be possible to deal with two aircraft carrier special mixed fleets with equal strength at the same time.
In fact, it is impossible to arrange for just escort fighter jets.
Then, you have to choose one of them!
The undecisive move of Bai Zhizhan is related to geographical factors, that is, Wei Island is in the southeast direction.
The 41st Special Mixed Fleet is sailing southeastward at high speed, that is, heading towards Wei Island. The probability of being discovered by a patrol plane tomorrow morning is very high.
If Spoo believes that Baizhizhan will take the initiative to go forward, he will definitely arrange patrol aircraft to focus on searching this sea area.
"If it doesn't work, we can first consider strengthening our defense." Seeing that Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao were not talking, Li Mingbo said another tentatively.
Just as Zhou Yongtao was about to speak, Bai Zhizhan pressed his hand against him.
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just talking casually..."
"Defense is right, it's just not passive defense, but active defense." Bai Zhizhan smiled and said, "Sp is behind. In addition to providing cover for Harr, there is another very critical reason. He can make full use of the long-range patrol aircraft deployed on Wei Island or even on the transit island. He does not need to carry many reconnaissance aircraft, nor does it need to arrange carrier-based aircraft to perform reconnaissance tasks, so that he always remains hidden."
"You mean..."
"What we have to do is actually focus on the patrol planes in the direction of Wei Island. If Sp can believe that we are indeed there..."
“Will he believe it?”
Bai Zhizhan glanced at Zhou Yongtao and said, "What if it were two ocean-going cruisers?"
"What?"
"We had the heavy cruiser come forward before, and we had been discovered by the patrol plane, but we were not attacked. Spoo would think that we used heavy cruisers to perform air defense alert missions and keep the ocean cruiser. So as long as we discovered the ocean cruiser, he would believe that we had found us. What's more, it was an ocean cruiser that had never appeared before, and it had a huge attraction in itself."
"this……"
"Anyway, this is an opportunity to wipe out the special mixed fleet of Newland aircraft carriers."
Bai Zhizhan said so, but Zhou Yongtao did not refute it anymore. After all, Bai Zhizhan was the commander, so he was just a little worried, or was not very relieved.
If Spur lacks experience, he may be fooled.
But will Tian Shi be fooled?
At the east of the Shuangche Strait, Shiratsuzhan used four heavy cruisers to set up Takano, and Tashi was standing beside Takano at that time!
