Chapter 15: The Battle Begins

"Full staff first-level combat readiness...... Combat readiness ...... of all staff at the first level"

Inside the base, the sirens sounded non-stop, and all the rear personnel quickly turned into combatants, and even the cook from the Turlington base ran to the battery. Second Lieutenant Helen Clive, a medical second lieutenant in the infirmary, also sat in the operational command center of the base, serving as the commander of the combat information department----- after all, more than half of the girls in the CIC were from the logistics department, and their superiors happened to manage them.

"Basically, the personnel are almost assembled, and the alarm can be turned off," Chen Xiaomou commanded.

"Yes," Sergeant Wells pressed the button to turn off the alarm.

"Order the Grey Goose, ready to attack at any time, and strive to annihilate one of the enemy's heavy cruisers in the first wave."

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

"Attention the warships of the Atlantic Federation, attention to the warships of the Atlantic Federation. You have entered our private airspace with obvious hostile conduct. Please stop the intrusion immediately, please stop the intrusion immediately" The voice of Erica Nelson was on board the flagship of the Atlantic Federation's Special Operations Fleet, the Louis France. Commander of Operations, Colonel Flon Aveley, and Operations Staff Officer, Major Taylor Carleton, sat in the command seat on the bridge, and at the head of the ship was the captain of the ship, Lieutenant Commander Brandt.

"Is that what you're talking about, the kind of organization that has the technology to jam all of our radars?" Colonel Avery asked.

"It's a pirate." Major Taylor Carlton corrected. Whatever the purpose of this operation, it is necessary to strike at the organizations to which other countries belong, and there must still be a lot of trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare public opinion in advance and define the matter as a fight against piracy. Anyway, the other party is a space development company registered with the Oasis Alliance, and as we all know, most pirate organizations have also registered a space development company in the oasis, which is convenient for selling, repairing, and purchasing.

This time the Atlantic Federation took the initiative of three heavy cruisers, six Wias-class light cruisers. Plus 12 destroyer frigates and 69 air-space fighters belonging to the ships. This is already a large group of fighter troops.

This setting was also forgotten to mention before, and the establishment of space fighter forces in various countries is different. For example, in North America, there is a squad of 2 planes and a two-plane formation. The Atlantic Federation and the Oriental League are a four-plane squad with two twin planes. The remaining establishment of the Atlantic Federation is an exclusive establishment, with 3 squads under each squadron, plus a squadron leader fighter directly under 1 fighter directly under the formation of a two-plane group. If it is a squadron to which a heavy cruiser belongs, there will also be a reconnaissance and early warning aircraft, a total of 15 units as a squadron, while all the early warning and reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the aircraft carrier and the unit under the base will be directly subordinate to them. The four squadrons of 60 planes are a brigade, and the three planes directly under the brigade are directly subordinate to the squadron in addition to the captain of the brigade, with a total of 64 planes. And one wing, it is four brigades of 256 aircraft. If the wing is attached to an aircraft carrier, the wing commander will also be equipped with 16 early warning reconnaissance aircraft.

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

In the Earth Federation military base, everyone looked at the big screen and watched the warships of the Atlantic Federation slowly approach.

"It's close to the yellow zone." The radar intelligence officer debriefs.

"When they enter the yellow zone, find an automatic turret for a deterrent attack." Although everyone knows that this battle is inevitable, the necessary premise must be completed. In general practice, the airspace near the organization should be divided into green, yellow, and red areas. If someone enters the green zone, a warning needs to be raised. If the opponent ignores and enters the yellow zone, then a warning gun is required. If the opponent still does not react and enters the red zone, you can confirm that the opponent is acting hostile before you can retaliate. If you don't follow the above process, you can sue the Cosmic Federation for trial. The organization being judged will be blockaded and overwhelmed by the entire cosmic forces. Of course, intruders can also be sued by the Cosmic Federation, but only if your organization survives until the time of the lawsuit. Incidentally, the Cosmic Federation is a neutral body of the United Nations that resolves or arbitrates frictions between various nations and powers in the development of space. This force is jointly settled by several major organizations such as the Atlantic Federation and the North American Alliance. The earlier lunar neutrality event was arbitrated and finally established by this organization.

"The enemy entered the yellow zone, and battery No. 23 of the L sector carried out a deterrent attack." The former enemy commander issued an order to open fire on the battery group. In the command and operations center, Chen Xiaomou sat on the top floor of the command center, and down the next step was the staff headquarters organized by Second Lieutenant William Arthur. At the next level, there is the Battlefield Intelligence Department, which is composed of battlefield intelligence officers, which is the department that provides battlefield intelligence to the General Staff Headquarters and the General Commander. Further to the area is the former enemy command area, and the commander is currently the port minister, retired captain Dart. The former enemy command is divided into battery command, fleet command and direct MS unit command, if the force is larger, in order to facilitate command, the fleet command will also be divided into each sub-fleet command. At present, there is a shortage of manpower, and all of them are senior personnel in the department. Each department has its own Department of Information, Intelligence, and Communications. In battle, strategic judgment is made by the commander-in-chief and the general staff headquarters, and then strategic orders are issued. The commander of the former enemy then subdivides the order and issues it to the various subdivisions, which in turn give specific tactical orders from the commanders of the subdivisions, which are reported by the CIC of the divisions to the combat units on the front. Some combat units can carry out orders directly after receiving them. Some combat units have their own command system, so the final order is analyzed by the commander of the front-line combat unit and the order is issued.

In order to facilitate the grasp of the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, each level of commander can give orders on the weight of his own position, and does not need to report. For example, a captain can order the ship to fire its guns and evade during a battle. However, if it is not a combat period, the weight of the order to open artillery belongs to the tactical and even strategic commander. If the ship is moved to a certain place, the captain cannot give orders directly under the premise of having a chain of command from his superiors, and must report to his superiors. Of course, if contact with the higher chain of command is lost, it is up to the captain to make a decision on the spot without waiting for orders.

The deterrent shelling of the L-23 battery was not aimed at the incoming Atlantic Federation warships, but at the junction of yellow and red, telling the other side that this was the last limit, after which we would have to fight back.

"We are the Atlantic Federation Special Operations Fleet. In view of the suspicion that your organization is suspected of piracy, we need to investigate your organization, and I hope that your organization will give up resistance and accept the investigation of our army" The flagship of the Atlantic Federation Fleet conducts a declaration of piracy strike after deterrent shelling, which is also a process that must be followed.

"Please show accurate evidence, if you don't do it immediately, we will fight back" After the last sentence, there is no next process for both sides. Of course, if the Atlantic Federation needs to present evidence when it comes to the real fight against piracy, but there is no evidence at this time, so there is no corresponding response. As for the evidence, it can also be reissued after the fact, as long as the evidence is handed over when the Cosmic Federation intervenes in the investigation, it will be fine.

"The troops were deployed according to the predetermined plan, and the space fighter units attacked and were organized according to the predetermined situation. The fleet continued to advance. "The Atlantic Federation began to call the shots.

"M particles are scattered in the all-universe combat level, and the MS troops directly under the headquarters will advance, enter the designated position according to the plan, and wait for the enemy to enter the red zone and set off to intercept the enemy fighters. The anti-aircraft artillery batteries and electromagnetic gun batteries of the battery group have priority over enemy fighters, Mecca particle artillery batteries, and large enemy ships. The Grey Goose entered a combat position, and its MS unit did not advance for the time being, waiting for the attack order before launching a full-scale attack. Chen Xiaomou gave instructions according to the plan.

After the M particle walked, it quickly spread throughout the area, and all radars of the Atlantic Federation were completely ineffective. But this is also expected by the Atlantic Federation.

"According to the previous exercise, the troops switched to jamming mode." Colonel Aveley, the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Federation, immediately gave the order, and then turned to Major Carlton and said, "This interference ability is worthy of its name. Then he went on to give an order: "Order the rear scientific research ship to quickly study the phenomenon." ”

And in the area not far from the battle, there are several transport ships of the Atlantic Federation, one of which does not look like the others, and many famous experts of the Atlantic Federation in various related disciplines such as electromagnetism, cosmophysics, and particle science are carried on board. The research on M particles is in full swing.
