At around five o'clock in the early morning, Bai Zhizhan returned to the Command Bridge.
On the flight deck outside, the air crew was prepping for the soon-to-depart reconnaissance aircraft, while the assigned pilots were receiving briefings at the Aviation Operations Center.
As he began eating breakfast at the cafeteria, the communications officer delivered the last battle report from the Domestic Fleet.
Gui Boyong employed cautious tactics, without fiercely clashing with the second Main Battle Corps, which was completely within Bai Zhizhan's expectations. Unexpectedly, the two Fast Battleships led by Li Jie and Jin Hong suddenly appeared and annihilated the first Main Battle Corps, commanded by Takano personally. The last battle report clearly stated that both "Damen" class ships were sunk and nearly no survivors from "Damen".
