In the east of the sea, the aircraft carrier of the Shang Dynasty rolled forward. There was only a faint light on the huge aircraft carrier.
In the sky, planes were dancing and searching. No such luck here, and so far, nothing had been found.
However, Gao Shirong on the aircraft carrier was not in a hurry, at least he did not appear to be in a hurry on the surface.
In fact, the reason is very simple. It takes almost a day to travel only 9,000 kilometers at the current speed of an aircraft carrier. If the Bian State fleet travels so far, it will probably take even longer.
In other words, if Gao Shirong's calculations were correct, the aircraft carrier would likely encounter the Bian State fleet tomorrow night. Of course, the premise was that the estimate was correct and the deviation was not too large.
However, Gao Shirong did not risk everything, and he also left more than a dozen patrol ships along the way. Once the enemy fleet was discovered, these patrol ships with a range of up to 450 kilometers should be able to escape. Moreover, there were aircraft to cooperate with the patrol ships.
…
Here in the offshore, Jing Xiaowei followed the direction of the waves and finally saw the first fleet of the Bian State - a very small fleet. There were only six ships, and based on the outlines, it could be roughly determined that there was one 10,000-ton warship and five 5,000-ton warships.
The direction of the Bian State fleet was not directly north, but northeast.
"How insidious! If the plane hadn't blocked the starlight, you might have escaped!" Jing Xiaowei sighed when he saw this. He sighed at the enemy's cunning, but even more at his own luck and the enemy's bad luck!
There is nothing you can do when you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth.
But there are only six warships here, where are the rest
High in the sky, Jing Xiaowei informed others of his discovery while carefully investigating. Not daring to get too close, Jing Xiaowei controlled his plane and circled fifty kilometers away.
Through water wave detection, detection by aircraft detection system, or direct observation with the naked eye, Jing Xiaowei finally found the second fleet 30 kilometers away. This fleet was slightly tilted to the west.
Following the direction of the search, Jing Xiaowei found the third, fourth, fifth... twentieth! He also found a 30,000-ton flagship.
Twenty small fleets were advancing forward in a bowl-shaped formation, just like a big net.
"How insidious!" Jing Xiaowei sighed again when he saw this situation. But then Jing Xiaowei laughed again - once the hidden enemy was discovered, the danger would be reversed. Now the one in danger was Bian State!
But aren't these fleets too few? There are only 121 warships. The Shang Dynasty intelligence system shows that the Bian State should have at least 200 warships - not including whether there are hidden ones!
While Jing Xiaowei was delivering the message, he waited for more planes to come and explored around. All the planes were cautious and did not dare to get too close.
But apart from this fleet, no more ships were found.
When the Shang Dynasty naval commanders received this news, they were overjoyed. As expected, Commander Gao Shirong had predicted correctly. The Bian State had indeed divided its forces, and one fleet was heading further east. Not finding more fleets was essentially a greater discovery.
The news was immediately passed to Gao Shirong who was far away. After receiving the news, Gao Shirong also smiled and then commanded the fleet to continue moving forward.
