Takano was Takano.
Just past two in the morning, after brushing past the four battleships of the second Main Battle Corps, Takano issued orders to several forward-deployed light cruisers.
Launch flares in the direction of the Domestic Fleet's Main Force Squad.
This tactic could be described as extremely clever.
Although more than half an hour had passed since the last report from the fifth Cruiser Corps, meaning the Domestic Fleet's Main Force Squad could have sailed a dozen or more nautical miles in that time, Takano's orders for the light cruisers to fire flares were intended to make the light cruisers the cicadas in the hunters catching cicadas.
The flares fired, along with the flash from the muzzles of the guns firing, were like the sound of cicadas in a quiet summer day.
In this way, the first Main Battle Corps would be able to play the part of the oriole behind.
Besides, Takano still had a favorable objective factor on his side.
