"Commander, what are you doing..."

The surrounding combat staff didn't understand what was happening. According to the original plan, they should immediately turn northwest and advance quickly towards the island city. With the help of the moonlight, they should approach the coast of the island city as soon as possible. After dawn, their reconnaissance planes might arrive. Once they discovered us, there would be no need for a sneak attack, and it might even be dangerous.

Shiro Kamimura didn't say anything. At this moment, he was thinking about the chances of success. There was still enough time and the enemy planes could not take off. In this case, it should be the last chance for the Japanese Navy. If he gave up out of cowardice, it would be a stain on his own.

Although the Junkers announced support for coastal defense artillery, it has not been delivered yet. The coastal defense facilities of the entire island city rely entirely on those combat aircraft, but planes cannot take off at night. In addition, our warships are under blackout, so even if their planes take off, they cannot find us in the vast ocean.

Although the airport and port were not destroyed, this is a great opportunity for us to send the Marines up there. With their powerful offensive capabilities, we will definitely be able to take the airport.

Once we capture the island city airport, it would be like the knife in Li Shaoyi's hand is knocked out. Although we can continuously transport troops here, we can also transport troops here, whether from the Northeast or from Goryeo, basically it can be transported here in ten hours.

Although the victory needs to be shared equally with the army, it can also be a way to vent one's anger.

If they were to retreat like this, the Navy would have gone to great lengths to mobilize an aircraft carrier battle group and 6,000 Marines, but would have retreated without firing a single shot. Once this news got out, the Navy would not only lose face in front of the Army, but would also become a laughing stock around the world.

"Order all ships to turn immediately, target the island city, and proceed at full speed."

Shiro Kamimura said this with a ferocious look on his face, as if the people in front of him were not his men, but Li Shaoyi's men.

Except for the telegraph operator who just brought the telegram, everyone else had a fiery look on their faces, hurrying to convey the order. Only the telegraph operator knew that what we received was not good news. The first step had failed. It did not mean that we could not act later, but if we wanted to cover up the failure of the first step, we needed to do better, several times better than before. Can we do it?

"If even a word of this gets leaked, I'll immediately send you to the sea to feed the fish."

Seeing that the naval officers around him were busy, Commander Kamimura came to the side of the telegraph operator.

"Hayi..."

This guy quickly said that he was not a big talker. In the vast ocean, if one or two people were thrown into the sea, they would not be able to make any waves in such a huge fleet.

Commander Kamimura sat in his command position and closed his eyes, as if he had already seen himself occupying the island city. After occupying the island city this time, he would never give it up again. Anyway, it was Li Shaoyi who took the initiative this time, and our navy suffered heavy losses. Then we will use your island city as compensation.

Under the cover of night, the Japanese fleet quickly rushed towards the island city. At this moment, everyone in the island city was catching spies everywhere, and no one thought about the threat from the sea.

Although the Military Intelligence Department had learned about the Japanese Navy through interrogation, the first batch of operatives were exhausted. Unless the commander of the Japanese Navy suffered from dementia or meningitis, he probably would not have ordered an attack.

Of course, the air force combat units were also ready. When the first rays of sunlight came down in the east, they began to conduct the most thorough search of the waters around the island city.

"It will be fine after today. After today, we can go out to train outside again. These guys are a little tired of training in the shallow water all the time."

Du Yunshan and his naval officers and soldiers have always been in the center of the port. No matter what happens outside, they are not allowed to get involved. These people are treasures in Li Shaoyi's eyes. If something happens in such a conflict, it will be a big loss.

"Let's not talk about the training for now. I always feel that something is wrong. These Japanese navy members have different thinking processes than other people. The way they think about things has always been extreme. Even if the operation fails, we should still be on guard."

Deng Jiugong didn't say anything the whole time, but stared at the map, wondering where the Japanese army would come from.

"The commander is right, but the problem is that besides the two destroyers, we only have that one submarine left. We have only just filled up the number of people who can operate a submarine, and there are still many who can't."

The two destroyers were definitely not of much use. When they encountered Japanese warships, they didn't even know how to escape. There was no need for battleships to take action. The shells from a heavy cruiser were enough to send the destroyers into the water.

But submarines are different. They can stay in the deep sea. Once a fleet passes by, they only need to destroy the enemy's largest warship and then escape quickly. As long as they are lucky, there is a 60% chance of escaping. If the flagship of this fleet is attacked, it goes without saying what will happen next. They cannot proceed according to the original plan.

"I'm going to call the Marshal. You go gather the officers and soldiers on the submarine and set off immediately."

Du Yunshan looked at Deng Jiugong in surprise. Is there any news?

Deng Jiugong had no news at all, but he just felt so uncomfortable. He took this opportunity to ask the submarine officers and soldiers to hold an emergency meeting, and then go for a walk outside. It wouldn't be a big deal.

Li Shaoyi also took Deng Jiugong's reminder to heart. There were ten instructors on the submarine. Even if our students didn't know anything, these people could drive the submarine back and nothing serious would happen.

A sharp alarm blared across the dock, and all the naval officers and men came out to assemble, all with dark circles under their eyes. They were fighting in the wee hours, and it was still two hours before daybreak. Why were we already assembled? Were we going to get any sleep?

After hearing the commander's order, the officers and soldiers on the destroyer yawned and went back. It had nothing to do with them. It turned out that the submariners were training in the middle of the night and had called them up as well. This was the reason why good things don't happen to us. We are the ones who will definitely get into this kind of thing...
