Although the Bulan Fleet and the Newland Fleet had not yet been detected, Bai Zhizhan was certain that Cunningham and Spur were somewhere hundreds of kilometers to the southwest.
Winning this battle meant that victory was within reach.
Of course, even if they were to withdraw now, there was a great chance of securing a total victory, but it would require more time and incur greater losses.
To give up now, Bai Zhizhan was indeed very reluctant!
"If we lower our speed now and control consumption to minimize unnecessary spending, the remaining fuel should last until February 3rd," said Li Mingbo, who had just returned to the Command Bridge, not Zhou Yongtao.
"By then, even if the two fleet oilers haven't returned in time, we should be able to rendezvous with the oilers sent by Li Jie from the Landing Fleet."
While saying this, Li Mingbo handed the telegram he had just received to Bai Zhizhan.
