Progress at lightning speed at 1130

Shenwu Sixteen managed to have a restful sleep last night, as the Tang Army did not carry out any airborne operations during the night, and there were no reports of any battles.

The Mirage Country troops, akin to deaf and blind men, received no warnings whatsoever. The radar station on New Island had been rendered inoperative days earlier due to a fire that destroyed its antenna.

The movements of the Tang Country Navy were a complete mystery to the Mirage Country Navy, leaving Shenwu Sixteen with absolutely no time to react.

Half an hour ago, he received a report stating that a massive fleet from the Tang Army had been spotted on the southern side of New Island. To him, this was utterly redundant: a landing fleet from the Tang Army would undoubtedly be massive.

And then things spiraled out of control: the reinforcement troops he sent out reported back that dense smoke was billowing from the Tang Army's landing zone, rendering any approach impossible.
