At the same time, the Tang Navy was also undergoing strategic redeployment: two aircraft carriers had already returned to Beiyuan Port for repairs, resupply, and rest.
Another two carriers, escorted by four supply ships and a destroyer detachment, headed east to carry out the mission of blockading Mirage Country's eastern and northern seas, cutting off their transportation and supply lines.
Of the remaining six carriers, two would detach from the fleet and head southwest to Linshui Port for rest once the first batch of carriers reached Beiyuan Port.
In other words, as the campaign progressed, the carrier fleet near the South Island landing zone would be reduced to just four.
In reality, once the airfields on South Island were repaired and operational, Tang Army's air power on the island would be fully self-sufficient.
