The operation advancing toward Boss Bay was also extremely smooth.
Over the next three days, two Special Mixed Fleets took turns going into battle and quickly destroyed the defense system that Boi Country had built around controlling and blockading the Hormuz Strait.
The key point was, they barely suffered any losses.
Apart from over 20 ship-borne aircraft being shot down by enemy aircraft and High-altitude Guns, the only loss was a Destroyer that hit a mine and sank while carrying out a suppression mission during the day on the 15th.
By the 17th, the Empire's Navy had essentially cleared the remaining enemy forces from the northern coast of the strait.
Since they encountered no significant resistance, the Army's Air Force did not participate in combat operations.
