Chapter 476 Preparation Stage

On the morning of March 10, Bai Zhizhan returned to the Imperial Capital.

Although the military operation to advance into the Howay Islands would not commence until June at the earliest, some major decisions certainly needed to be made immediately.

The first was to abandon the operation to attack Guan Island.

During Bai Zhizhan's time in Puzhou and Jeju Island, Liu Changxun, after consulting Xue Yuanzheng, had already adjusted the deployment.

During the campaign for the Howay Islands, the plan was to rely mainly on the Navy's shore-based air force to bomb and blockade Guan Island.

In fact, the operation had begun on March 5.

To increase the bombing intensity, the Sea Air had also borrowed over a hundred heavy bombers from the Army Air Force to form its own long-range fighter squadron.

Additionally, the expansion of airports on Sai Island and nearby islands had begun.
