Chapter 437

Putting the note in front of Bai Zhizhan, Li Mingbo couldn't help but sigh.

After making a judgment on the battle situation, it is the fleet commander's turn to make the decision.

No one can help with this matter, and Bai Zhizhan must make the decision, that is, give orders.

As for the judgment of the situation, after Bai Zhizhan made a comprehensive analysis, there was no secret at all, even Li Mingbo could see it clearly.

To sum up, it only has eight words.

Retreat to advance.

Temptation of the enemy deep.

To be said, this is a brand new tactic that the Royal Navy is learning from lessons and summarizing based on the specific situation today.

In addition, it is also a true portrayal of the current situation in the Kingdom of Bran.

The national strength is not as good as before. It can be said that the rivers are declining day by day, and we can only retreat to advance, give up remote areas with little significance, and protect core interests through strategic contraction.

Faced with the tactics of retreat to advance adopted by the Royal Bran Navy, there is one way to crack it.

Go straight to the Yellow Dragon!

In the words of Bai Zhizhan, as long as the main fleet of Commander Cunningham can be wiped out, no matter what tricks the Royal Navy of Bran and Newland Navy have, they are all scheming.

In addition, it may also be able to establish a victory in the battle in one fell swoop.

As long as you kill the Endeavor, you don’t even need to attack the Kibu Fortress, you will return home quickly and lead a fleet to directly attack the Hovayi Islands.

Of course, the difficulty is very high and the risk is even greater.

After Bai Zhizhan proposed this idea, the specific work fell on the staff leader led by Li Mingbo.

The first thing is to figure out whether the 11th Special Mixed Fleet can raid for a long distance, and whether it can return after a long distance raid, and what preparations need to be made.

The note Li Mingbo gave Bai Zhizhan said the calculation results were written on it.

There is no problem with long-distance raids, but after arriving at the Southwest Fanyan Ocean, the remaining fuel will be enough for up to 5 days of navigation, and may not be able to obtain supplies in time.

The key is that only two fleet oil tankers were brought.

To be precise, only two fleet oil tankers can keep up with the 11th Special Mixed Fleet, while other oil tankers, because of their slow speed, cannot fight with the fleet.

According to the previous plan, other support ships were incorporated into the landing fleet, mainly providing support to the landing troops.

Only when everything goes well can you still have 5 days of fuel when you arrive in the Southwest Fanyan Ocean.

If an accident occurs during the voyage, such as a storm in the southern hemisphere, it will consume more fuel and may even burn out the fuel.

In short, if the raid fails, it will be difficult for the 11th Special Mixed Fleet to return.

"The only way to increase the range is to leave small ships with insufficient endurance and reduce the number of escort warships as much as possible." Li Mingbo breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If this is the case, the aircraft carrier will be easily hit, and we only have two aircraft carriers."

"There is no way to defeat the enemy, no matter how many aircraft carriers there are, it will be useless." Zhou Yongtao was still active as always.

"Only two fast battleships are brought, two fleet oil tankers and four destroyers responsible for covering the oil tanker, and all other escort warships are left."

After hearing what Bai Zhizhan said, Li Mingbo was obviously shocked, and even Zhou Yongtao was a little surprised.

Obviously, this is a bit over.

Not to mention anything else, what can the four destroyers do?

Before, the Bran submarine had been discovered, so there is reason to believe that the most worrying thing during the voyage is the submarines that encounter the enemy.

No matter how you say it, you have to bring a few more destroyers.

However, Bai Zhizhan was not discussing with them, nor did he ask for their opinions.

"After passing through the Sunfeng Strait, sail northeast along Sumatra Island, and after leaving the active waters of the Bran submarine, then turn to the southwest. After leaving other warships, maintain the fastest cruise speed and perform anti-submarine evasion maneuvers regularly."

Bai Zhizhan means that he must rely on speed to avoid submarines.

"Where are other warships?"

"Stay stay in the Northeast Fanyan Ocean for the time being. After we start fighting, we will block the Throat Channel. If necessary, we can support ground troops to attack Shiquan City."

Li Mingbo gritted his teeth and gave a look at Zhou Yongtao who was still stunned.

"This is simply a desperate bet!" Zhou Yongtao underestimated.

However, he knew why Bai Zhizhan was unwilling to bring more destroyers.

Destroyers are small warships with serious shortage of endurance and are difficult to continue to sail at high speed. During the raid, they will definitely slow down the fleet's speed.

The four destroyers were to cover the fleet's oil tanker, not the aircraft carrier.

"Take only these escort warships. Even if the raiding operation fails to achieve its goal, we still have the hope of returning to the vicinity of Xunfeng Strait before burning out the last drop of fuel." Bai Zhizhan glanced at Zhou Yongtao and said, "It's indeed a desperate bet, but we must do it. However, if you, and any of you, can come up with a feasible alternative, I'm happy to adopt it."

Now, Zhou Yongtao also closed his mouth.

If there was a way to replace it, he would have proposed it long ago.

At the beginning, Bai Zhizhan analyzed the possible situations and concluded that they were almost inseparable.

As long as you fail to kill Bran’s main fleet first, you will definitely not be able to take over Posa Bay within one year.

If you spend a year on Fan Yanyang, not only the Imperial Navy, but even the Empire will be defeated!

"I think I might be able to know in advance whether the raid can achieve its goal."

Suddenly someone made a statement, which surprised Li Mingbo and Zhou Yongtao because they were arrogant and a young adviser.

However, isn’t it too shameless to say that the Baizhi War more than 20 years ago and Zhou Yongtao when the war started?

Bai Zhizhan didn't say anything, just nodded, letting the staff who was about the same age as Zhou Yongtao continue to speak.

"The Tiaoman Fleet is heading south." The young staff member was obviously a little nervous, so after being stared at by Bai Zhizhan, he only said one sentence.

But, that's enough.

Bai Zhizhan's brows jumped quickly a few times, and at the same time turned his gaze to Zhou Yongtao.

Zhou Yongtao nodded, indicating that this method works.

Li Mingbo did not object, because this was indeed a good idea.

The Tsuman fleet headed by the Prime Minister has arrived in Nanxi Luoyang and is waiting for news from the Imperial Navy, and then decides where to turn.

If the "Prime Minister" makes a fuss, there may be an answer.

Maybe you can even fry the big fish on the water!

"Send a plane back and tell the Navy Commander about our actions. Tell the Commander-in-Chief clearly that it is best for him to come forward and discuss with the Commander-in-Chief of the Thuman Navy. No matter what method is used, the "Prime Minister" must act and help us annihilate the main fleet of the Bran Navy."

"Is this too direct, right?"

"If you don't have a little directness, Liu Changxun may not be able to understand the urgency of the situation."

Li Mingbo slapped his mouth and sent a message in the name of the fleet commander, so even if he offended someone, it would be a matter of vain.

"There is one more thing, remember to remind the Commander-in-Chief to prepare for the attack on the Transit Island and the Hovay Islands as soon as possible."

"What?"

Bai Zhizhan smiled and said to Li Mingbo, who was shocked, "Only speaking, we can make the Commander-in-Chief believe that we are sure of victory."

"But..." Li Mingbo didn't say it.

"Go and make arrangements."

After Bai Zhizhan said this, Li Mingbo did not ask any more questions.

When Bai Zhizhan mentioned attacking Zhongzhi Island and the Hovayi Islands, Li Mingbo had already thought that he was ready to succeed if he did not succeed.
