Knowing that danger indeed exists and could strike at any moment makes waiting feel more like a torment.
However, it is not just waiting all the time.
Throughout the night, messages kept coming in nearly every few hours, either from the Fourth Fleet Headquarters, the Navy Headquarters, the Military Intelligence Bureau, or other related agencies, sometimes forwarded messages as well, which left Bai Huawei and Liu Zunling rather irritated.
Most were battle reports from other units.
Although most messages seem unrelated to the fleet operations and were very disorganized, giving a sense of confusion, these messages indirectly confirmed Bai Huawei's suspicions.
On the first day of battle, until the early morning of the 5th, the Newland Navy did not deploy ship-borne attack aircraft to bomb the Aleu Islands and the Howay Islands.
The patrol aircraft sent to perform search missions in the central waters of the northern East Ocean were all shot down en route.
