The Tang Army was, of course, expanding its victories—not only on South Island but also by continuing to attack the main fleet of the Mirage Country Navy at sea.
This time, the offensive was launched by the 7th Destroyer Flotilla of the Great Tang Navy. Positioned on the flank of the Mirage Country fleet, their angle of attack was far superior.
As the frontline commander, Shen Haifeng had been waiting for about half an hour but still hadn't received a reply from headquarters. His request to allow damaged warships to retreat had disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.
The Great Tang Navy gave Shen Haifeng no time to wait. According to their plan, they launched an even more ferocious assault about 150 kilometers from the landing zone.
One Styx Anti-ship Missile after another penetrated the Mirage Country Naval fleet. In just 15 minutes, two cruisers were struck, and a battleship was damaged.
