Unlike Tanimoto, Lan Yun had gone back to the Commander's cabin to sleep after dark, only getting out of bed before dawn and then returning to the Command Bridge.
Thereafter, except for going to the toilet, he remained on the Command Bridge, even having his breakfast and lunch brought to him by his staff.
Last evening, upon receiving the second telegram from Tanimoto, Lan Yun was truly frightened.
If the "Heng River" was commanded by Bai Zhizhan and had already entered the West East Ocean, there was a high probability it would appear near the North Ma Islands.
This meant that the Attack Aircraft Group could arrive at any moment!
Lan Yun dared not delay; upon receiving the telegram, he ordered to sail east at full speed to avoid potential bombing.
Refueling?
Definitely no time for that.
To maintain secrecy, Lan Yun also ordered the entire fleet to enter a state of radio silence, not even sending out messages to contact the four oil tankers following behind.
