The huge bodies of the garbage loaders walked around the battlefield, picking up all the usable garbage. They carried away the corpses of the Gray Coat soldiers and burned them. They moved the corpses of the New Atlanta Militia soldiers to the other side and placed them neatly.
The large amount of weapons and ammunition left behind by the Butcher, as well as the usable vehicles and equipment, were all given to New Atlanta. Because these weapons were not as advanced as the weapons used by the Guardian Corps. In other words, the weapons made using the advanced firearms technology in the Unclaimed Land were much more advanced than the weapons of the Skynet Terminator. But for New Atlanta, they were very precious, as they could rely on them to fight against the Terminator!
When the people of New Atlanta first saw these ferocious and terrifying garbage loaders, many of them were scared to the point of wetting their pants. But when they found out that the broken limbs and heads of these robots belonged to the Gray Coat soldiers, they immediately felt relieved. At first, they kept a respectful distance from them, but now they could work together with them very calmly.
Tang Yu also confessed to the people that these were robots he had built in the car dump to fight against Skynet. Although many people were very afraid of these robots because of Skynet, they could not deny that without these robots, it would be very difficult for them to defeat the invading Butcher.
A woman rummaged through the battlefield and found a few guns under a pile of ruins. She quickly waved her hand, and a garbage loader walked over. Its huge mechanical arm lifted the heavy concrete blocks one by one. The woman skillfully checked the guns and found that there was only one that could be used, so she carried the gun on her back and threw the damaged ones to the garbage loader. "These are yours," she said.
The garbage loader caught the broken guns, threw them into the metal basket on its back, and walked towards another pile of ruins.
This time, New Atlanta seized more than 8,000 usable weapons from the battlefield, including Skynet blasters, M-60 machine guns, M-134 Gatling guns, and so on, greatly enriching the settlement's arsenal. Moreover, they also found a large number of compressed biscuits, canned food, and other supplies on the Gray Coat soldiers, as well as some jerky.
These jerky were all human flesh! After Tang Yu found out about this, he immediately announced that no one was allowed to keep or eat this human jerky, no matter how hungry they were! Otherwise, they would be shot immediately! This was the bottom line, the bottom line of humanity!
As for the nearly 20 Hunter Tanks that were destroyed, many useful parts were removed from them, such as the dual-mounted blaster cannons and the super engine that could provide up to 3,400 horsepower. There was no large-scale industrial equipment in New Atlanta, so these things could only be preserved. Tang Yu planned to use these parts to piece together a few usable tanks after occupying Southampton.
After sorting out the corpses of the dead, all the residents of New Atlanta gathered together and held a large memorial service. In this battle, New Atlanta suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and more than 3,000 were injured to varying degrees. This was already close to half of the entire settlement's population, which showed just how intense the battle was.
A large number of people brought guns to attend the memorial service. During the memorial service, they fired into the sky to express their mourning for their comrades, their hatred for Skynet, and their determination to fight to the end.
Mr. Maddow looked at the corpses of the victims being cremated and let out a long sigh. He said to Tang Yu, "Are we really going to fight Southampton? Are we going to cause more casualties? "
Tang Yu shook his head firmly and said, "We must fight Southampton! Colonel Dickson took advantage of the chaos to escape, and although I discovered him at that time, I was unable to stop him. Now he's staring at us like a viper, and there's no way he'll let us go! They're building an industrial base in Southampton, and once this base is put into use, we'll be greeted by an army of Terminators with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles! "
"But after this battle, he probably won't dare to come again, right?"
"Do you believe that?" Tang Yu turned to look at him.
"Sigh …" Mr. Maddow sighed again and did not say anything. He turned and walked away.
…
According to the commander's detection, Dickson fled back to Southampton and began to strengthen Southampton's defenses. At the same time, he also sent several encrypted communications to the outside, all of which were requests for help, but these communications were all intercepted by the commander. Dickson was now like a refugee on an isolated island, waiting for death in despair.
But in fact, it was not entirely accurate to say that he was waiting for death. After all, he still had a complete Iron Hook Brigade in his hands, more than 6,000 people. Coupled with the remnants of the Butcher Knife Brigade that he brought back, there were nearly 1,000 people. Now there were more than 7,000 defending troops in Southampton, which was still much more than the number of troops in New Atlanta.
After the end of the defensive battle, more people were willing to join the army. Now the militia in New Atlanta was still maintained at about 2,000 people. The joy of just obtaining a big victory made their enthusiasm extremely high, especially after they obtained a large number of military food and weapons from the supplies left behind by the Butcher Division.
But the problem remained. The invading Butcher Division only carried enough food for half a month. Because Southampton was only about 200 kilometers away from New Atlanta, they did not need to carry too much. Therefore, the food could only be used for emergencies and could not solve the fundamental problem.
The first batch of Hope No.3 would mature in about two months, and the problem of famine in New Atlanta would need at least three stages of Hope No.3 planting, which was nine months later. Before that, Tang Yu's biggest hope was still the supplies left behind by the British Second Army in World War II in the air-raid shelter in Southampton. If they lost that batch of supplies, then they could only implement food rationing, which would be a heavy blow to the morale that had been raised with great difficulty.
Coupled with the heavy machinery and equipment in the Southampton port shipyard, this made Tang Yu even more envious. On one hand, he could not let the Butcher Division have enough time to modify and use these equipment to build heavy weapons. On the other hand, if he could get these equipment, then Tang Yu would really have the capital to continue the war with Skynet.
The reconstruction of the settlement was still going on in an orderly manner. The more than 2,000 militia soldiers also gradually mastered combat skills under the training of Zheng Hong, Kristina, and the others. Moreover, Tang Yu also once again refused Mr. Maddow's request for food rationing to last through the most difficult period before the Hope No.3. ripened.
The militia soldiers' morale was now extremely high after eating and drinking. Occupying Southampton had become a common phrase in people's daily conversations and greetings.
However, Tang Yu understood that Southampton would not be an easy opponent to defeat. Currently, the Canopy Base in the car graveyard was limited by the production of nuclear batteries as the energy core of the garbage loaders, so only dozens of garbage loaders could be produced every day. Until now, the Tomb Keeper Legion had only expanded to about 1,000 robots.
