Although Liu Xiangzhen was calm on the surface, and his expression remained unchanged when Mount Tai collapsed before him, he was already cursing in his heart.

In Bai Zhizhan's words, Liu Xiang is really a typical gentle beast. He is gentle on the surface and has a violent beast with fangs and claws on his heart.

After receiving the telegram yesterday afternoon, Liu Xiangzhen was cursing her. Starting from the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Navy, he scolded all the officials in charge of the Navy Command and the local fleet. He probably hadn't relieved yet, and later he also greeted the boss of the Southern Fleet.

What is he doing?

The reason is that this crucial telegram, to be precise, was delayed for a whole day!

It's been a whole day.

On the battlefield, you can still decide the outcome even in a few hours, not to mention a day.

We have conducted fleet exercises for more than ten years, especially in recent years, without exception, and have decided the winner in just a few hours. Every exercise over the years has proved that the most important thing is intelligence. Whoever obtains accurate intelligence first will win.

However, the boss in charge still did not wake up!

Liu Xiangzhen didn't fall asleep all night.

As a result, early in the morning, the communications consultant sent the latest information. Strictly speaking, it is not considered intelligence, and at most it can be considered a discovery with low credibility.

On the 24th, the maritime patrol aircraft of the local fleet encountered Nai Navy carrier-based aircraft many times in South Zhuhai.

Unfortunately, nothing else.

This is no wonder, because those who can fly to South Zhuhai to perform search missions are all seaplanes, and seaplanes will definitely not catch up with carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, these findings do not mean much.

The key is that there is no way to prove whether those carrier-based aircraft came from land airports, took off from aircraft carriers, and which aircraft carrier was.

Don’t forget that the Nai Navy also has a small aircraft carrier similar to the “Sea Dragon”.

What we need to worry about now is actually where the three aviation teams under the permanent fleet of the Nai Navy went.

How many aviation teams have entered the Yanhai?

Two or three?

Although there was information that the two "Ruihe" class had not completed the sea test, but they were only included in the combat sequence due to the situation and did not form combat power, Liu Xiangzhen always believed that entering the Yanhai to attack the southern fleet was a desperate bet, and the Navy had no reason not to use all its troops.

What's more, the commander of the permanent fleet is Takano who likes to bet.

That madman, if he acts ruthlessly, he will cut off his fingers with his own hands!

Taking two more aircraft carriers means more than one hundred carrier-based aircraft. With sufficient troops, both offense and defense are more relaxed.

If you change the angle, if you change it to Liu Xiangzhen, you will definitely bring all the aviation teams.

However, Bai Zhizhan didn't think so.

During the last discussion, Bai Zhizhan also emphasized this issue specifically, that is, the Navy is likely to only dispatch four aircraft carriers.

For this reason, Bai Zhizhan emphasized three points.

First of all, Takano is easy to gamble and dares to gamble, but he is not a gambler who does not distinguish between importance and level. He usually only does things that are confident.

Four aircraft carriers, are you sure enough?

The answer is obviously yes.

If it is mainly raids, the key is not to have several aircraft carriers, but to have concealment and suddenness. As long as the attack can achieve suddenness, more than 300 carrier-based aircraft carried by four aircraft carriers can launch at least two waves of bombings, and if it rotates, the third wave can be carried out.

Three waves of bombing are enough to destroy the entire southern fleet!

Secondly, the Navy may not be able to dispatch six aircraft carriers at the same time. To be precise, it will bring out the value of the six aircraft carriers at the same time.

What's the meaning?

The Nai Navy does not have so many carrier-based pilots!

The two "Ruihe" ships were delivered at the beginning of the year. Even if the Navy works overtime to train, it will be difficult to train enough excellent pilots in just a few months.

Draw pilots from the other two aviation teams?

Obviously, that's a mess!

In high-intensity battles, only a rookie and a trivial mistake can paralyze an aircraft carrier for several hours.

In fact, this is also a major feature of the carrier-based aviation force.

Even the worst ones are elites, because they can only rely on themselves when landing.

Without enough pilots, what's the use of taking the Third Air Force?

Finally, and most critical.

The strategic purpose of the Navy Navy may not be to completely annihilate the Liang Xia Navy. Perhaps it is just to seize the initiative in the early stage of the war, so it must be reserved.

Two aircraft carriers are left behind, and there is still something to play if the sneak attack fails.

If you take everything, you will really not succeed, and Chengren will be desperate to take all his bets.

Even if Takano is bold, he may not go against his strategic goals, and he still bet on the fate of the Shanghai Army and even the entire country for this.

In Bai Zhizhan's words, if this is true, it is the Tianyou Empire!

Although he was not convinced, Liu Xiangzhen knew that Bai Zhizhan would not be aimless. He deliberately emphasized these things, and he must be worried.

However, at this time, Liu Xiangzhen had to consider that several aircraft carriers had entered the Yanhai.

What is the number one problem?

Where did the Nayi fleet go after entering the Yanhai!?

Wandering near the Nanzhu Kingdom, or did he kill him fiercely, or was he already at the city?

Although the Yanhai has almost become the inland sea of ​​the empire in the past few decades, the Yanhai is the second largest sea in the world, with an area of ​​about 3.5 million square kilometers and cannot be completely controlled. The key is that except for the two large islands in the north, other islands are mainly distributed in the central and southern parts. In the sea area of ​​about one million square kilometers in the north, there are not many islands, let alone large islands that can build airports.

In addition, the Imperial Navy did not have many large patrol aircraft.

Only four of the more than 20 patrol aircraft purchased before the war were distributed to the Southern Fleet, and the others were all in the local fleet.

With four patrol aircraft, it is almost as difficult as finding a fleet within a sea area of ​​one million square kilometers.

Even if the searched sea area is reduced, it will take several days.

It is precisely because Liu Xiangzhen let the fleet stay in the south of Jiao Island, to be precise, between Jiao Island and the Lexi Islands. More than 200 kilometers southeast is Yongyue Island, the largest Yongyue Island in the Lexi Islands. The key is that on Yongyue Island, there is a runway with a length of 2,000 meters.

Last night, the Southern Fleet temporarily dispatched thirty fighter jets to Yongyue Island.

According to the arrangement, these fighter jets will be dispatched after dawn to operate in the east of the Special Mixed Group to provide vital peripheral cover for the Special Mixed Group.

It can be seen that the current location of the special mixed group is relatively safe.

So, isn't it too safe?

Safety also indicates that the position is off.

If the Nayi fleet has arrived and aims to raid Chengjiang Port, then it will be difficult for the Special Mixed Group to immediately launch an attack on the Nayi fleet in its current position.

Why?

If an attack exceeds the combat radius of the carrier-based aircraft, it means there will be no return!

Until the communications consultant rushed over.

"Report, emergency war report sent by Chengjiang Port."

Liu Xiangzhen shivered slightly for a few moments before reaching out to receive the message handed over.

In fact, there is no need to look at it, the communications consultant made it clear at the beginning.

This is a battle report!

What is time to come is still here!
Chapter completed!
