1186 、 The general offensive begins.
On December 2nd, 2047, six months after the end of the Southern Campaign, a total of 320 divisions of the Human Alliance began to assemble at the border. Seven commander spacecrafts cruised above the battlefront, blocking all possible detection from Skynet. At the same time, the deployment of Skynet's army was clearly transmitted to Tang Yu's command center on Aurora Island.
On the frontline, Skynet deployed a total of more than 180 divisions and built three very strong lines of defense. At the same time, a large number of slaves and robots were also working tirelessly on the fourth and fifth lines of defense. The line of defense built by Skynet was based on the line of defense built by Tang Yu. A large number of firepower support points were set up, each of which was equipped with artillery, mortars, missiles, and other heavy firepower.
Not only that, but Skynet also built a large number of underground fortifications on the battlefront, dug trenches that extended in all directions, and set up countless mines in front of the position! In order to fight against Tang Yu's Horned Dragon Tanks, Skynet specially built a production line that produced magnetic mines. Although these magnetic mines would greatly affect the Terminator forces, Skynet was willing to go all out in order to prevent the Horned Dragon Tanks from penetrating.
However, Tang Yu did not care about these things. For him, he now had 320 divisions, an army of 5 million, and two 3D printing factories. As long as he had enough materials, he could produce 40,000 to 50,000 robots a day! Even with the War Loader, Iron Curtain Loader, and other advanced robots, the production of robots could still exceed 20,000!
With such a difference in military strength, their advantage would only snowball!
December 24, 2047, 10: 30 p.m., Christmas Eve. More than 50000 cannons assembled at the border simultaneously let out a deafening roar! The flames from the muzzle even lit up the night sky! The sound of the cannons firing could be heard from tens of kilometers away!
Countless artillery shells rained down on Skynet's defensive position without a moment's pause. Under the immense power of the 155mm howitzer, even the ground was turned upside down. The black soil was sent flying tens of meters into the air! Countless fortifications were destroyed under such powerful firepower, and the bombardment did not stop. It was as if they wanted to completely flatten this 1,800-kilometer battle line!
At the artillery position behind Tang Yu's frontline, the G-2 Engineering Robot mechanically reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired. The powerful strength and precise movements of the robots allowed these old towed cannons to display the firing rate of modern cannons. This was also the reason why Tang Yu insisted on mass-producing these cannons.
Skynet's artillery radar quickly determined the position of the Panhuman Alliance's artillery based on the flames produced by the cannons. The counterattack was about to arrive! But this time, the cannoneers of the Human Alliance had no intention of dodging!
Boom! Boom! Boom!! Countless artillery shells and missiles were fired over. The Human Alliance's Flying Fire missiles immediately rose into the air to intercept the incoming missiles. However, when the artillery shells arrived, they were all blocked! A faint layer of energy was flashing on the artillery positions. Next to each cannon was an Iron Curtain Loader. Two shield generators were rotating on the Iron Curtain Loader, forming a protective shield for the cannons!
However, the firepower of the Skynet army was still very strong. The shield of the Iron Curtain Loader would usually be broken in less than a minute. However, at the same time, another Iron Curtain Loader would immediately replace it. The Iron Curtain Loader whose shield had been broken earlier immediately retracted to recharge and replace the overloaded shield capacitors.
Apart from a small number of cannons that were destroyed because the Iron Curtain Loader did not replace them in time, the Human Alliance's artillery positions actually withstood the counterattack of the Skynet army! At the same time, the artillery began to counterattack the long-range artillery positions of Skynet! This one-sided attack soon completely suppressed Skynet's cannons!
However, the bombardment of the Human Alliance did not stop! Carts after carts of artillery shells were pulled over and quickly emptied. Carts after carts of shell casings were then pulled back. Not only that, but the trucks that were used to replace the cannon barrels and other parts were also transported non-stop, replacing the parts of the cannons.
Throughout the entire Christmas Eve until 8 AM on the 25th of December, more than 10 million artillery shells landed on Skynet's defensive positions! If the average weight of each artillery shell was 100 kilograms, then the steel shells that landed on Skynet's defensive line amounted to more than 1 million tons! It was equivalent to smashing 10 Ford-class aircraft carriers there! However, in Tang Yu's opinion, this was not enough! The entire front line was more than 1,800 kilometers long. This kind of bombardment was not enough to destroy Skynet's defense!
Boom! Boom! Boom! The bombardment did not stop for even a second. Artillery shells fell from the sky like raindrops, bringing fire and death with them! Even the human soldiers who were gathering had to find cotton to plug their ears because the continuous sound of artillery shells and explosions made them feel dizzy and nauseous.
The bombardment continued until 9 PM on the 25th of December. Almost 80% of the Human Alliance's artillery shells reserves had been used before it stopped. At the same time, mass-produced AT-6 robots with huge metal shields walked out of their positions. Under their cover, countless Hyperion Loaders charged! Mixed in the middle of this robot army was a large number of Iron Curtain Loaders. They rushed to the front and spread out their shields to provide cover for the follow-up troops!
320 divisions, more than 5 million soldiers, crossed the front line and launched an all-out attack!
According to the battle plan formulated by Tang Yu and the others, the Human Alliance's army would be divided into four army groups and attack in four different directions.
Among them, the Western Army Group's target was one of Skynet's energy supply centers. According to Ruan Qingshui's information, there were more than 30 nuclear reactors there and it was one of Skynet's main energy supply bases.
Central Army Group A would attack Grey City No. 9 and coordinate with the Western Army Group's attack. They would also try to surround Skynet's army in this area.
Eastern Army Group's target was an industrial base with Grey City No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12 as the core.
Central Army Group B would coordinate with the Eastern Army Group and attack a large-scale iron mine, which was also one of Skynet's main producers of tantalum alloy.
