This sudden and extremely fierce bombardment disrupted the plan to attack Transfer Island.
As a result, for the next two days, the Marine Corps basically abandoned the attack, starting to consolidate the landing site and deliver combat supplies to the landing forces.
Crucially, on the night of the 9th, the 51st Special Mixed Fleet sailed 500 kilometers to the west, reaching the northwest of Transfer Island, and arranged for ship-borne aircraft to establish an interception line about 500 kilometers west of Transfer Island.
To be precise, only one Early Warning Aircraft was sent, with 4 F-14Bs on standby behind it.
After the Early Warning Aircraft detected enemy planes, the Fighters were to advance and intercept.
This move had an immediate effect.
