The sudden fire of war did not catch Li Lan off guard.

Whether it was the source of intelligence, the estimation of the countdown to the US war, or the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, Li Lan had already made comprehensive preparations. Dozens of military maneuvers have already been quietly completed under the guise of crack generators.

No amount of satellites in the sky could see through what was really going on within camouflage of the rift generator. Therefore, in the US-led coalition forces, what we see is the Bagua City as always, the army still has not changed, and the intended target of attack has not changed at all.

The actual situation is that Li Lan has been waiting for this war for almost 30 hours.

A full thirty hours passed between the end of the coalition military movement and the actual offensive of the coalition forces. During these 30 hours, the detailed movement of coalition forces has been going on, and the Red Guard Corps is no exception.

When the air raid sirens sounded in Bagua City, the war had already begun five minutes earlier.

The first round of missile attacks by the coalition forces all came from the sea, mainly by cruise missiles launched by submarines and surface ships, while the first wave of interception was carried out by the navy.

In the direction of the Gulf of Aden and along the eastern coast of Somalia, in addition to the Aegis ships that accompanied the aircraft carrier to the sea, Li Lan formed three Aegis battle groups around the Somali mainland. Each Aegis battle group is led by two Aegis ships, cruising in the Gulf of Aden and the east coast.

And these three Aegis battle groups have become the first line of defense, and the interception has already begun when the Tomahawk cruise missiles enter the fleet's outer defense circle.

However, due to the large number of missiles, it is not possible to intercept them all. Missiles also began to enter the defensive circle of the base, for those who crossed the missiles. The fleet also has no obligation to continue to intercept, and the rest is all left to the base.

Missiles are coming. The air raid sirens sounded.

In the console, Li Lan just sat quietly, and he had already upgraded everything that could be upgraded in the defensive units, and he had also built everything that should be built. Now, all defensive weapons have also been unlocked and handed over to the base to complete.

At this moment, Li Lan is more like playing a game, and it is the kind that has already done it. The stage where the results of the game are being tested in real combat. The base and defense units are built all over the screen, and outside the map, countless missiles flying in and crashing into the base's defense network.

In front of him, a suspended 3D map projection, within the zoomed-out map of the base's defensive circle, can be seen in the play of various defensive units, and at the edge of the map, every once in a while. There will be a large swarm of missiles coming out in an attempt to break through the layers of interception networks.

Sitting in front of the console, Li Lan had a feeling of seeing the world and the wind and clouds. Pampering is not frightened, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. Go and stay without intentionally looking at the sky and clouds. It's just that it looks like a game-like picture, but reality is reality. If you fail in the game, you can start all over again, and there will be no second time in life.

Waves of missile strikes. Without the slightest pause, in the face of such a frantic missile strike. When manpower is poor. The base's defensive circle also began to show some lag.

Two low-flying Tomahawk missiles exploded directly on the outskirts of Bagua City, and those rice fields that were almost ripe were instantly destroyed, and the shock wave accompanying the explosion directly squeezed the surrounding large areas of rice into the paddy fields.

"Assistant, what's going on now?" The two missiles did not hit the valuable target, but they also sounded a wake-up call for Li Lan.

With such a dense attack, even the base cannot be completely defended. Although the high-value building units around Bagua City are disguised by the Crack Generator, they are given the wrong location like a mirage. But it's hard to guarantee that it won't be crooked.

"Rest assured, commander, there is no problem. At present, we have intercepted four waves of missile attacks, and we are fully capable of intercepting more waves of missile strikes. ”

The assistant reassured him, he would not really rest assured, and began to think hard about countermeasures in his heart, and after a while, Li Lan's eyes lit up, and he said to the assistant: "Assistant, calculate the enemy's trajectory and intercept those missiles that are really threatening, as for those missiles that hit worthless targets, there is no need to intercept them." ”

Li Lan's idea is very simple: Judging from the flight trajectory of these missiles that hit them, many of them are going in the direction of some open space or farmland. Under the influence of the Crack Generator, these places are some of the more valuable targets in the eyes of the coalition forces. In this case, why not go with the flow, not only can the coalition forces make wrong judgments, but also allow themselves to save defense space and focus their main firepower on those missiles with a higher degree of threat.

And under Li Lan's instructions, the assistant naturally complied. Therefore, for a long time in the future, a large number of missiles began to explode on the outskirts of Bagua City, and around the gourd bend, a large number of missiles were plowed all over again, and the only thing that had an impact on the military port was that many windows were broken by the impact of the explosion.

Another effect was that many reporters were able to photograph the actual explosions, with missiles streaking across the sky constantly exploding in the distance, and the sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city.

――――――

In the central part of the Arabian Sea, the huge fleet of the US military is cruising quietly in the night, and three 100,000-ton behemoths dominate this sea area.

This is a fleet that can dominate any ocean, and the three Nimez-class aircraft carriers alone have a combined displacement of 300,000 tons, and around the fleet 30 nautical miles underwater, six Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines guard the underwater safety of this fleet, and they build the underwater defense of the first ring of the fleet. In coordination with its own anti-submarine sonar in the fleet.

Of course, this is a task that requires extreme care, because submarines do not have a signal to identify friend or foe under water, and any submarine that enters the fleet within 30 nautical miles may become the target of attack by surface anti-submarine weapons. This naturally includes its own submarines, so there is an extremely mandatory set of indicators to protect the underwater safety of the fleet. Especially in wartime, its own submarines are absolutely not allowed to enter the sonar defense circle of surface combat ships. Otherwise, tragedy could easily erupt.

This huge fleet consisted of 30 surface ships, and in addition to the original three aircraft carrier battle groups, the fleet also included an amphibious strike group, an amphibious assault ship, and two dock landing ships, as well as two Ticonderoga-class cruisers and a Burke, which were originally attached to the amphibious strike group.

The core of the battle that makes up this fleet is these three aircraft carriers, but now this fleet can only watch the drama from the back. According to the tactics of the Supreme Staff of the Coalition Forces, the aircraft carrier must ensure that the enemy has no ability to resist before it can enter the attack range and guard against the enemy's fleet and fighters.

However, as an important link in a huge command structure, this powerful fleet also undertakes the task of commanding the theater. Although the main orders are given directly from CENTCOM, the transmission of orders is also a very important task.

The Fifth Fleet's flagship command ship, the Lasalle, is the core of this powerful fleet, assuming the command of tactical battles and the brain of the entire fleet. Matched by the commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, William Murphy. Admiral Gothni.

This US admiral is in high spirits at the moment, and since the Iraq war, the Fifth Fleet has once again gained tremendous authority. Not to mention the addition of two aircraft carrier battle groups, four amphibious strike groups will be added in the future, and the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea will complete the campaign against Somalia.

And the fleets of France, Italy, and Japan were also commanded by him. Coordinate with various fleets to conduct joint operations.

As an ambitious general, he seems to have seen his own great victory, using Somalia to make his way to the Minister of Defence, and to blaze a trail for William. The American military era in the Gothnes.

As a result, he became more attentive to this war and his belief was firmer. In his words: "This war is the opportunity God has given him, and if he does not grasp it, it is original sin, and even God will not forgive himself." A bright tomorrow awaits me, and I just need to push open the door that blocks the light. ”

In the command center during the Lasalle, the admiral was holding a cigar in his hand and puffing through the clouds while keeping an eye on the various combat units on the integrated command system.

As a special fleet command ship, the Lasalle's excellent performance is prominently reflected in its powerful command and control functions. According to the current command structure of the US Navy, the naval command and control system consists of a fleet command center and a flagship command center. The fleet command center is a land-based command post located on the shore, and the flagship command center is a maritime command and control ship located in the operational sea area, such as the Lasalle.

In specific operational command, the fleet command center in Bahrain sends various operational directives, maritime surveillance information in the operational area, enemy threats, and environmental data in the operational area to the flagship command center, and after processing, it is distributed to various command positions and combat units.

At the same time, the flagship command center will also continuously receive reports from each unit on its own situation, maritime surveillance intelligence in the area of combat operations, and the progress of combat missions, and this information will be reported to the fleet command center after being aggregated and processed. It can be seen from this that in the command of naval operations, the Lasalle is the central link and plays an important role in connecting the upper and lower levels.

The Lasalle's flagship command center is a large-scale integrated communications and information processing system, which is connected to more than 70 transmitters and more than 100 receivers, and is connected to three sets of satellite communication devices, which can exchange information with the outside world at a speed of 3,000 words per second. All received passwords can be automatically translated, and the translated messages can be sent to the command personnel through the ship's automatic device, and this information can be stored in the computers of the Integrated Intelligence Center.

However, in order to coordinate the command of the other fleets, Gothney did not stay in the fleet command center in Bahrain, but went to the front line of the battle, and took command in the nearest command ship of the Lasalle. The fleet command center in Bahrain is under unified command and coordination at the Central Command.

The missile strike on Somalia was an operational order issued by the USS Lasalle. (To be continued......)
