The intense Kafairian artillery killed hundreds within moments, primarily disturbing immediate defenses such as pillboxes and tank-traps. The capital received a moderate amount of infrastructure damage as well, bridges were crippled and civilians were mercilessly slaughtered. Thus began a second frontier mounted by the Kafairian army.
The Naval Bombers deployed from the capital could only do so much to prevent this catastrophe, five of them had already downed from the relentless Anti-Air guns of the Kafairian battleships. One of those casualties had been of an airwoman by the name of Yoshikuni Urena, who, with a crippled right wing and a failing engine, shoved herself into the bridge of one of the enemy battleships--the first Kamikaze attack performed by any Asian aerial soldier since the end of the Pacific Wars. She would surely receive a medal posthumously when all of this was over.
But to be fair, they neither intended to nor could cripple the Kafairian fleet alone, their operation had been to damage them as much as possible. That they did.
The base of operations itself was literally dug-in, reinforced with mono-block walls hours before the initial enemy landings. Surviving personnel were evacuated, as most important personalities survived the attack by shielding themselves with their Daimyo armor. These top-priority personnel included the commander of all Pan-Asiatic intervention forces himself, Commissariat General Dindo "Tanda" Macapugay, and so long as he was alive and kicking, there was hope for victory.
However, several intelligence officers were killed by falling debris, and the Commissariat General's own personal Katalonan, Kt. Romero Liu, caught a piece of dislodged metal to his spine, instantly killing him. His post was taken by III Corps' Katalonan, Tao He: and her first communication to the whole Pan-Asiatic intervention-army was an order straight from the Commissariat General's desk itself. They were to recover, recuperate losses, and prepare for a Kafairian onslaught.

The Sea
As the victorious Kafairian punch into the Skyhookedian mainland began to transform into a total forward-thrust to be executed by Kafairian infantrymen seeking to march right into the Pan-Asiatic base of operations, hidden on rocky cliffs lay furious artillerymen who had seen the Kafairians decimate their fellow Asians with the push of a button. They awaited for the Kafairians to fall into their AO, snickering as the Kafairian vessels formed their ranks into a different direction.
In that brief moment of clustering that any fleet often must make upon plotting a new course, the artillerymen took their chance. Ballistics specialists and Babaylan technical specialists of the 32nd Korean Echelon "Han Chiu" Field Artillery Division marked enemy ships with a red streak of light visible only to the operators. The moment had come for them to strike.
Veiled by thick green and possessing the height advantage, the 32nd let-loose the infamous Object 1779s. Hadron canons focused their aim on the bridges of the Kafairian vessels. Each power cell was loaded with the intent to take revenge and to stop the inhumane aggression of the crusader forces. Each power cell represented the equal ruthlessness of the Pan-Asiatic revolution to oppressors and imperialists. The 32nd fired from all directions, causing chaos within the enemy's naval ranks.
But while Kafairian vessels focused on an effort to fire-back at the hidden canons, they disregarded threats emerging from below their iron flotillas. The Pan-Asiatic intervention forces were not strong on the Naval branch, which could not spare many ships due to demands for defense in the Pacific and deployments elsewhere, they nonetheless could spare the P.A.S Type SSN-213C Sebastian-Class Submarine Vishuddha and P.A.S Type SSN-213D Sebastian-Class Submarine Muladhara. The two were equipped with advanced stealth technology.
As the Vishuddha closed in to the enemy positions alongside the Muladhara, its captain, Tang Sung-Chul, to the beat of Hadron rounds being fired in the distance, could not help but utter one last remark before radio communications fell silent.
From the depths, torpedoes were launched at an untraceable speed. Whilst the Pan-Asiatic naval contingent did not have the numbers or armament as advanced as the Kafairians possessed, they did have the tactics and firepower to equal them. The Vishuddha and Muladhara could carry and fire a spontaneous amount of underwater torpedoes consecutively and in great numbers at a time.
But the artillerymen on the cliffs did not hear the launching of those several torpedoes all at once.
They heard only the sudden shock and screams of Kafairian sailors atop their decks.

They are learning to fear the noise of our artillery. Now, they shall learn to fear the silence of our submarines.
