Not only Bai Zhizhan received the orders, but so did Major General Gui Boyong, the Commander of the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, and Brigadier General Li Yunxiang, the Commander of the First Shipborne Air Force Wing.
Both of them were commanders, with ranks and positions superior to that of Bai Zhizhan.
By the time Bai Zhizhan changed his clothes and came onto the flight deck, Li Yunxiang had already seated himself in the torpedo attack aircraft, and ground crew were busy preparing for takeoff.
Recruiting Li Yunxiang from the Army could be considered one of the most beautifully executed accomplishments of Bai Zhizhan.
In fact, it wasn't entirely Bai's own doing.
