Meanwhile, in the western sea area of Yotun Island.
After turning on the afternoon of the 5th, the Forty-First Special Mixed Fleet had already traveled about 800 kilometers eastward, and was still maintaining a speed close to 20 knots.
This speed was actually to reach the vicinity of Yotun Island after dark, then immediately arrange for the ship-borne aircraft to take off to execute reconnaissance missions. If the Newland Fleet operating in the eastern sea area of Yotun Island could be found during the night of the 6th, precisely before sunrise on the 7th, an attack could be launched immediately. Without waiting for daylight to commence action, not only could a few hours be saved, but perhaps catch the enemy off guard.
However, this also meant that the Forty-First Special Mixed Fleet needed to refuel no later than the 9th.
