Bai Zhizhan had wanted to board the "Nanzhu Sea," but Li Mingbo and others were adamantly against it.
But this night was anything but peaceful.
Although the mine-sweeping ships had already swept the area three times and there were still a few leading the way, there didn't seem to be a need to worry about hitting mines, Bai Zhizhan always felt that entering the Narrow Sea before capturing Jibu Fortress entailed a significant risk. An attack could happen at any time.
The key issue was that along the coast of the Narrow Sea, there were many bays where torpedo fast boats could hide.
In the southern part near the Mand Strait, there were also many isolated islands.
Frankly, it wouldn't be a problem to conceal dozens or even hundreds of torpedo boats.
Due to the small tonnage and size of torpedo boats, which were likely camouflaged, it was possible that even if reconnaissance aircraft were sent to search during daylight, they might not be able to locate them.
