1052 、 Cruel Battle (Medium)
In less than an hour after the Butcher's division launched their attack, the Terminator army had advanced more than 500 meters. Although these Terminators were fighting on their own, and there was no unified command, the New Atlanta Militia lacked enough weapons to deal any damage to them.
Most of the militia soldiers collapsed at the first contact. When no one was paying attention, they could still shoot randomly with their guns, but once the Terminators returned fire, they would cry and retreat, regardless of whether the fire could really penetrate the thick concrete bunker.
Fortunately, the Terminator army advanced slowly, and when Frans planned the defense system, she had taken the retreat route into consideration, so the retreating militia soldiers did not turn into a massacre.
"Your families, wives, and children are all in the settlement! Once the Grey Coat army breaks through New Atlanta, they will become slaves to be toyed with, or even become food for those cannibals! "
"Return to the battlefield! If you stay, you will die. If you go out and fight, you might have a chance of survival! " Mr. Maddow used a megaphone to persuade every soldier who escaped back to the settlement to return to the battlefield. Tang Yu did not set up a very strict punishment system for deserters, because he knew that these people could not actually be considered soldiers. At most, they were just civilians with weapons.
Some people returned to the battlefield with a look of despair, but there were even more people who were scared out of their wits by the blood and fire on the battlefield. They cried bitterly and hid in their homes, unwilling to come out. In fact, the first batch of 2,000 soldiers who were recruited were still supporting the entire front line. They had some awareness, so although they were retreating, they were not scared out of their wits.
The Butcher's division participated in the attack. The Bloodhand Brigade included nine battalions, including four Grey Coat battalions and five T-600 Terminator battalions. The Butcher's Knife Brigade included eleven battalions, including four Grey Coat battalions, five T-600 Terminator battalions, one T-800 Terminator battalions, and one armored battalion.
The Grey Coat Brigade had a larger organization, with each battalion having 700 to 800 people. In other words, the two brigades that they sent in the attack had a total of 20 battalions, about 15000 people. Currently, the Blood Hand Brigade's Third Battalion had retreated due to internal strife, while the Seventh and Ninth Battalions had secretly retreated. Therefore, there were actually six battalions participating in the battle. The Second and Sixth Battalions of the Butcher's Knife Brigade had almost gotten into a fight due to false information. They were still far away from the battlefield, so there were actually 9 battalions participating in the battle, and most of them were Terminators.
Even so, the current strength of the Butcher Division was about the same as the total population of New Atlanta! The disparity in military strength was already so great, and the disparity in combat power was even more so!
After the Terminators broke through the outer perimeter and the Grey Coat Army rushed into the ruins, the gap widened even further! The ferocious-looking, muscular black soldiers were nimbly jumping and advancing through the ruins. No one could escape from the fortifications that they had set their eyes on!
Da da da da da da! A black soldier with an M-60 machine gun took a step forward, aimed at the firing point, and opened fire. Countless bullets hit the concrete block, stirring up clouds of dust, but the small firing point was not damaged. However, the inexperienced civilian soldiers in the firing point saw the frightening firepower of the enemy, and immediately retreated, not daring to open fire. They did not care if the firepower would actually hit anyone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a few other black soldiers easily made their way to the back entrance while the firing point did not dare to open fire. With a ferocious smile on their faces, they removed the machetes from their waists and directly entered! A mournful scream could be heard from the bunker.
A moment later, the few black soldiers walked out covered in blood, one of them was even holding the arm of a civilian soldier! He did not care and opened his mouth wide, tearing off a piece of flesh from the arm. After chewing a few times, his mouth was instantly filled with blood.
These were the former anti-government warlords of Congo, scum who enjoyed genocide. After joining Skynet as the Grey Coat Army, they had completely unleashed their bestial nature!
"Ah ah! I'll kill you!!! " A civilian soldier at the side saw this scene and instantly broke down. He raised a hand grenade and rushed towards the black soldiers!
Da da da! Da da da! The powerful impact of the M-60 machine gun bullet instantly sent the soldier flying, and the hand grenade that had just been ignited fell to the side of another bunker. Boom!! After a series of explosions, the supporting point of the bunker collapsed, and several of the Militia soldiers were immediately buried alive under the rubble! Sometimes, such a huge disparity could not be bridged with courage. Furthermore, not every soldier could withstand a machine gun shot and not be sent flying, and still be able to stand and shout slogans.
However, the few black soldiers were not complacent for long. As they continued to search for prey, a pile of rubble suddenly exploded! The explosion directly engulfed a radius of over a hundred metres, and the few black soldiers were instantly blasted into smithereens. Even the surrounding T-600 Terminators were affected! Shockingly, it was the roadside bomb planted by the Iraqi soldiers led by Tazai!!
The power of these roadside bombs was relatively huge. The New Atlanta warehouse contained plenty of ammonium oil explosives, in addition to the discarded rockets, bullets etc. Every time a roadside bomb exploded, it was equivalent to the explosion of a large caliber heavy artillery! Not only that, the discarded bullets mixed in with the explosions flew everywhere, causing great damage to the Grey Coat soldiers. Even the Terminators were not spared! However, roadside bombs were not omnipotent, after all, they could only kill once.
As the Terminator army continued to advance, the explosions in the ruins greatly hindered their advance. In addition, Frans had meticulously designed simple fortifications that covered each other and intersected their firepower. This forcibly slowed down the Butcher division's advance, and also minimized the casualties on their side.
However, although the casualties were reduced, it was an indisputable fact that most of the New Atlanta Militia soldiers went out and only a few returned. This caused the morale of the entire settlement to plummet. Now, the people would rather pray than go out and fight.
The frontline of the Terminator army had already advanced by five kilometres, which was almost half of the ruins on the outskirts of New Atlanta. The frontline began to shrink. Under the precise command of Frans, who was almost in God mode, the Militia resisted even more fiercely with their inferior numbers and equipment.
It was not difficult to imagine that without the electronic interference of the commander, the Grey Coat army would have fallen into internal strife and chaos from the beginning, and the electromagnetic suppression of the Grey Coat army would have allowed them to convey orders only through orderly soldiers. If the Butcher division of the Grey Coat army was fully prepared and properly commanded, they could have completely torn apart the resistance of New Atlanta within an hour and annihilated all of them!
Mr. Maddow stumbled into the command centre. His lips were trembling non-stop. He wanted to say something to Tang Yu, but his throat was so dry that he could not utter a word. He could only look at Tang Yu with an expectant gaze.
Tang Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, nodding heavily.
Suddenly, Kristina said loudly, "We've detected a large-scale movement of the Butcher division. Colonel Dickson's Butcher Knife Brigade, the 1st and 4th Battalions, and the armored battalion have begun to move. He's planning to attack personally. Not only that, the 2nd and 6th Battalions that were previously lost are regrouping. They're estimated to return to the battlefield in two hours! "
Mr. Maddow collapsed to the ground. He had almost lost all hope of survival.
"Where's the gravekeeper?" Tang Yu suddenly asked.
"There's still an hour before we make contact," Kristina replied.
