When the Grey Goose appeared, Colonel Aveley, who was sitting aboard the Louis Françoise, could no longer sit still. Observations made through a display zoomed in to the limit show that this is not an ordinary armed merchant ship, but a heavy cruiser through and through. And then the power of the missile cruiser that sank the missile cruiser in the first salvo made him stand up directly.

"What kind of cannon is that? The accuracy is so high, and the power is so great. Colonel Avery looked in amazement at the missile destroyer that was gradually disintegrating with the explosion. But after all, it was the commander-in-chief, so after being surprised, he quickly reacted and ordered all ships to pay attention to avoiding enemy artillery fire. Then he asked Major Carlton in annoyance, "Didn't you say they were just a tech company?" ”

Major Carlton gritted his teeth and replied, "The Intelligence Department has no information on this. ”

After thinking for a moment, he replied again: "Although it is not excluded that they have a military background from other countries, it is really strange to have a base here. After a pause, he organized his language and continued: "This is not a busy commercial route, nor is it a transportation artery of military significance. This small meteorite group has been explored by us for a long time, and although there are many minerals, they are only ordinary metal deposits. It has the value of development, but it is not so much that it is favored by military organizations. If it is a secret military base, it is located in a relatively remote area, and most of the secret bases are near the side. Otherwise, when they are discovered, reinforcements from their own country will not arrive in time. Judging from the appearance of this cruiser, it is not the design of the current mainstream countries......"

"I don't want to listen to your analysis, I just want to know what to do now. If the opponent is a military organization, we have to take into account that the opponent is more than this heavy cruiser. It is possible that there will be a large number of reinforcements to follow. Colonel Avery said angrily, staring at Major Carlton.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not a military commander. It's a question for you to think about. Not to be outdone, Major Carlton looked back.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, but fortunately, during this time, the Gray Goose seemed to have used up its luck in the first blow, and failed to hit the target with several shots. It could also be because of the distance.

"Forget it, I should have known that you guys couldn't be trusted." Colonel Avery turned his gaze back to the screen. After all, he is now a military commander, and he must be responsible for the overall situation, and he can't fight with a subordinate. Although this subordinate is only nominal. He called up the data of the Gray Goose's guns and said: "Judging from the data of these cannons, the opponent's first hit hit the shit, and the hit rate is not as high as we imagined." The scientific research ships in the rear were ordered to study the energy of this shelling as well. This kind of artillery bombardment exceeds the main guns of various countries at present. Then he ordered: "Order all ships to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, and we are ready to retreat at any time." ”

"The enemy air force is approaching the team, it is a robot unit" The radar observer turned into a visual observer because of the failure of the radar, and constantly observed the battlefield. So the approach of the MS team of the Grey Goose was discovered.

"This ship and other heavy cruisers will give priority to attacking the opposing heavy cruisers. The light cruising fleet air force sorties to intercept the opposing air fleet. and to defend the air in formation with the destroyer force. "Colonel Avery gave the order in accordance with the air defense process. In the case of the Atlantic Fleet, aircraft carrier sorties are already at the campaign level. Generally, combat sorties are mostly heavy cruisers with light cruisers. And the air force on the heavy patrol is responsible for the attack, the assault. The air corps on the light patrol is more responsible for air defense and reserves. In the Atlantic Federation's space forces, many heavy cruisers are generally equipped with elite troops, because they are generally relatively peaceful now, so aircraft carriers have basically not participated in battles. It's more of a battle between cruisers. It is already a common practice for countries to use elite units as mobile units to carry out tasks.

=================================================

Second Lieutenant Salter Evans, the first professional MS pilot and the first officer since the creation of the base, has not yet participated in combat. So much so that Chen Xiaomou had no chance to be promoted to his position, so he could only serve as the acting squadron leader by virtue of his qualifications. This incident has always been recorded in his heart. Even his two subordinates, the substitute drivers who turned from the iron ball, have experienced actual combat and have been promoted and raised. This time, he was holding back his strength and preparing to make meritorious contributions, removing the word agent from his head.

"As the elite of the MS team at the base, we can only watch the enemy destroy our fortifications just now. Although there were no casualties, it was a shame for us. Everyone, you must protect the honor of our Earth Federation Army, and let us become a nightmare for the enemy," Second Lieutenant Evans mobilized his men before leaving.

"Do you feel ashamed?"

"I don't think so, but it's just some automatic turrets."

"Shhh He actually took the appointment of deputy squadron leader very lightly. Originally, he was more junior than Evans in this base, and at the same time, this base was just starting, and there were opportunities for meritorious promotion. He is good at human relations, and he will not be stiff with his colleagues because of this kind of thing. For him, who regards the value of human affection that everyone can use as his criterion, there is no contradiction between improving the relationship between colleagues and getting promoted and raised.

After the MS team on the Gray Goose was launched, they quickly made contact with the opposing team's prevention and control team. Since in front of the station, the MS team of the Gray Goose mainly conducted anti-air defense training, so although the rookie pilots who had never participated in the battle were scrambling to avoid the crossfire of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns and fighters, no one had been hit so far.

There are four three-machine squads under Evans' squadron, with the first, second, and third squads wielding 90mm machine guns and a Jim beam pistol at their waists. The fourth squad is armed with missile boxes or 180mm cannons, and is mainly used to carry out strong attacks on the battleships.

Captain Evans took the brunt of the attack with two wingmen against a squad of fighters, and he took the position of the main attacker in this triangular formation, and the three units of the Federation Army were divided into the main attacker, the secondary attacker, and the support hand. The support hand restricts the opponent's area of activity with firepower, and then the main attacker attacks, and if the first hit fails to destroy the opponent, the secondary attacker launches a cross attack from the other direction. If you don't hit the main attacker again, then you can also turn around and launch a second attack. And so on until the opponent is destroyed. In the case of multiple enemies, the main attacker's aim is to break up the enemy's formation, followed by the secondary attacker to attack the dodging enemy, and then the support hand to replenish the gun.

The number of anti-aircraft fighters in the Atlantic Federation has declined rapidly, and many gaps have appeared. The fourth squad rushed through the air defense zone of the fighters with heavy equipment and quickly launched a blow on a destroyer, and a heavy anti-ship missile hit directly, and the explosion instantly disintegrated the poor destroyer.
