In the next few hours, everyone waited for news, but no news came.
At breakfast, Zhou Yongtao joked that it would be very good if they could receive definite news before lunch.

What worried Bai Zhizhan the most was still the twenty-second Special Mixed Fleet.
On the several large islands to the east of the Howay Islands, the Newland Army had built dozens of field airports and deployed thousands of combat planes, with more than 2,000 four-engine bombers alone, and a sufficient number of long-range fighters that were not too badly equipped.
