Chapter 3 The Third Fleet's Preparations
Ma Chao paid no mind to what the third fleet might do.
His only thought now was to annihilate all the invading enemies!
Only once this place was secure could he bring his Duke over from Great Tang for treatment.
The Duke's injuries could not be delayed!
He paid no attention to the falling
After all, destroyers were equipped with radar and supported by airborne early warning aircraft, advantages that the gold-mining ships lacked.
However, the gold-mining ships possessed speed and numbers as their strengths!
Someone discovered the trace of the USS Illinois and reported the news to Ma Chao.
He immediately gathered all the gold-mining ships and rushed over.
“Boss, should we attack?”
Second Regimental Commander Xi Cun Jian looked at the USS Illinois cruiser on the sea and asked Ma Chao.
Ma Chao, however, shook his head, “No rush, let’s wait!”
Xi Cun Jian was confused, “It’s just one ship, what’s there to wait for…”
Ma Chao glared at him fiercely, “Nonsense!”
“Their ship is loaded with anti-air weapons, and the gold-mining ships’ gold-sucking has a distance limit!”
“If we charge straight in, how many lives will be lost!”
“Moreover, prisoners captured earlier said they came with an entire fleet. Who knows how many more they have hidden behind us?”
“Since they haven’t opened fire first, let’s wait!”
“Once Old Zhang brings the brothers from the Third Division, we’ll show them!”
“You take some brothers, circle around this ship, and continue to advance to the front left.”
Having said this, he turned to look at another person.
“Zhong Shisan, you take your men and advance to the front right!”
“You must find out how many more ships they have!”
Just as the US military had its concerns, Ma Chao had his as well.
This was no longer an era of cavalry charges; a wrong step could cost the lives of countless brothers. He had to be as cautious as possible!
Du Xi Jian and Zhong Shisan each led dozens of brothers, steering the gold-mining ships around the USS Illinois and moving forward.
Ma Chao, along with the remaining members of the Skyfire Army, with half on the upper levels and half on the lower, formed a large net suspended in the sky, encircling the USS Illinois.
Zhang Tian did not make him wait long. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived with hundreds of F-35s.
Fang Er was still unconscious. These aircraft represented the entirety of the Skyfire Army’s current capabilities!
