The battle lasted until evening.
In the afternoon, Wei Jun sent over a ship-borne aircraft to inform Bai Zhizhan that reconnaissance aircraft had expanded their search to the east and west, but the Newland Fleet was still undetected, hence it was determined that they weren't nearby and there was no immediate concern for a surprise attack.
Consequently, after 3 PM, Bai Zhizhan ordered the fourth wave of assaults on Transfer Island.
With four concentrated bombings, the 21st Special Mixed Fleet destroyed the island's airport and docks, at the minor cost of losing 22 ship-borne aircraft.
According to Zhou Yongtao, all that was needed next was to blockade Transfer Island and wait for the arrival of the fire support fleet.
As for the landing operation on Transfer Island, it wasn't closely related to the 21st Special Mixed Fleet.
Of course, blockading Transfer Island wasn't an easy task.
