The first to launch the attack wasn't the Attack Aircraft Group sent out by Spur, but the one dispatched by Hal, specifically by the Newland 16th Special Mixed Fleet.
In terms of attack tactics, Hal's boldness was undeniable.
Following the departure of the Reconnaissance Aircraft, he ordered the ship-borne aircraft tasked with the attack mission to take off, trailing behind the Reconnaissance Aircraft and heading south.
It can be said that this exceptionally decisive decision had a crucial impact.
Boldness and resoluteness were Hall's hallmarks.
Given the situation at the time, deploying ship-borne aircraft to launch an attack was indeed the right decision.
