1188, God of War!
The large and small firepower points hidden in Skynet's defensive position instantly opened fire. Countless bullets and artillery shells rained down on the Pan-Human Alliance's robot army!
During the battle with Tang Yu, Skynet had not done nothing. It had modified the commonly used blasters and increased the power of the blasters. It also used the corrosive bullets and acid collected from the battlefield to conduct experiments and replicated a type of corrosive bullet. Although its power was not comparable to the Guardian Group's original poisoned rifle, it was still quite effective against the overwhelming number of Hyperion Loaders. However, Skynet did not have many of these corrosive rifles.
In order to resist the Guardian Group's poisoned rifle, Skynet also applied a layer of anti-corrosive coating on all the Terminators to increase their resistance to corrosive bullets. At the same time, because of Tang Yu's obsession with artillery in the previous battle, Skynet also responded to it. In addition to producing the Hunter Self-Propelled Artillery modified from the chassis of the Hunter Tank, they also produced more than 10000 towed artillery to counter it.
Therefore, the resistance on Skynet's defensive line was unprecedentedly firm. The resistance that Tang Yu's army faced was much greater than when Tang Yu attacked Watujing's Southeast Army Formation!
Tang Yu's strategy was still to bombard the enemy with a large number of artillery bombardments, then use the Hyperion Loaders as the vanguard to launch an assault. After weakening the enemy's resistance, he would use the mixed division of humans and robots as a reserve force to launch a heavy attack and look for an opportunity. After discovering a loophole in the enemy's defensive line, he would let the Horned Dragon Tanks attack and directly penetrate Skynet's defensive line, securing victory.
However, this time, Tang Yu discovered that even after being bombarded by 50000 artillery for an entire day, Skynet's defensive line still stood firm! After the Hyperion Loaders rushed up, the defensive firepower they faced was still extremely dense and powerful! The support points made up of anti-tank artillery, rocket launchers, sniper rifles, and other firepower also formed a crossfire, specifically targeting the Pan-Human Alliance's heavy equipment on the battlefield, such as the war loaders and the Iron Curtain Loaders.
In the three hours since the start of the attack, the Pan-Human Alliance had lost more than 60000 robots, and the furthest they had advanced was only about 800 meters! Not even a kilometer away!
In the command center of Aurora Island, Tang Yu frowned as he read through the messy battle reports. He turned around and asked, "What exactly happened? Logically speaking, with the Iron Curtain loader, the mass-produced AT-6 equipped with shields, and 23 hours of artillery preparation, our army should have enough confidence in breaking through the Skynet defense line. "
"The enemy's defense line is very efficient, and it is obvious that they have studied our tactics and made targeted preparations," General Chen Fei said in a deep voice as he pulled up a large amount of video data on the giant holographic screen.
"According to the battle situation sent back by the drone, 60% of the enemy's firepower support points are still in use. We speculate that there might have been a large number of false targets during the previous bombardment. They used wooden sticks and boxes to create false positions to divert our firepower. Moreover, the attacks from these firepower support points are also very targeted. They specifically attack the shields of the Iron Curtain loaders, "Chen Fei said.
"Also, the trenches they dug are very detailed, with a depth of 2.2 meters. The scale of these trenches is larger than what we had previously detected. Many places are covered with camouflage nets to avoid the detection of the commander's spacecraft. There are also cat's ear holes in the walls of the trenches to store ammunition and avoid artillery bombardment.
"However, after the mass-produced AT-6 equipped with shields were dispatched, Skynet's defense showed a slight loosening, but they immediately reacted. Their response is also very primitive, which is to directly send the Terminators to engage the AT-6s in melee combat and pull them back. His eyes are very sharp, and he instantly identified two weaknesses of the shielded AT-6s. First, there aren't many of them. Second, although the iron shields can protect the troops behind them, the firepower of the troops behind them can't penetrate the iron shields.
"In short, they use the method of exchanging one for one to break down the AT-6's shield formation. Although these AT-6s can eventually get rid of the Terminators that rush up to engage in melee combat, the troops behind them are still exposed to the firepower. When these AT-6s raise their shields again, the second batch of Terminators will rush up again … "General Chen Fei's expression was solemn.
"It's equivalent to sacrificing a group of Terminators in exchange for the AT-6s not being able to raise their shields for a short period of time?" Tang Yu said as he rubbed his chin.
Chen Fei nodded and continued, "That's just one aspect. Look at these videos. You can see that the Skynet army's defense is very layered. Although there are three large lines of defense, you can actually see several small lines of defense in these trenches. Every time a line of defense is breached, there will always be a group of suicide squad that rushes up to slow down our advance. Most of them self-destruct. At this time, the next small line of defense has already been organized. "
As he said that, he played some more videos and said, "And look, these small defensive lines are very flexible. Some are at the corners of the trenches, some are small hills, and if there's really no such thing, you can see a few T-600s carrying more than ten sandbags rushing up to create a bunker. In short, the Skynet army is willing to do anything to slow down our advance. I just want to say that this kind of defense is an art of iron and blood! There's only one person in the Gray Coat Army who can do this!! "
Tang Yu nodded and fell into deep thought. According to the information Tang Yu received, the commander-in-chief of the Skynet army this time was the supreme commander of the Gray Coat Army, Marshal Artuzov, who was personally in command. After comparing the commanding ability of Skynet with that of a human commander, Skynet once again chose to trust the humans and Artuzov.
At this time, an image of Ruan Qingshui appeared on another computer screen. It could be seen that he was wearing casual clothes and seemed to be living a good life.
"Marshal Artuzov is known as the 'God of War' in the Gray Coat Army! When Skynet was facing off against four or five John Connor's, it was Marshal Artuzov who fought battle after battle that allowed Skynet to accumulate such a huge advantage. It can be said that in this chaotic time and space, Marshal Artuzov's contributions can't go unnoticed for Skynet almost obtaining the final victory, "Ruan Qingshui said.
"He's very good at using the advantage of being a Terminator to overwhelm the battlefield, and he's decisive and resolute in using his troops. He's willing to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals. He used to be a commander of the Soviet Union's special forces and experienced the war in Afghanistan. Later, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, all of his family died in the turmoil, so he hit it off with Skynet and became its number one general. "
"And Marshal Artuzov's greatest characteristic is that he's very good at finding the enemy's weakness and targeting it to attack. He's very meticulous in using his troops, and can be said to have penetrated into every detail. In short, if Artuzov had been in command of the previous battles, Tang Yu, perhaps you would have been defeated before you could even make a name for yourself. "Ruan Qingshui's expression had a hint of respect for Artuzov.
Tang Yu asked in a noncommittal manner, "Then why didn't he personally command the battle to eliminate me?"
"On one hand, it's because you didn't amount to much at that time, and on the other hand, Marshal Artuzov is already in the late stages of liver cancer. After all, he's already over 70 years old. In his original timeline, he didn't live for too long, so he doesn't stand out. Skynet discovered this talent in this world, and used all means possible to protect his life. So, with all due respect, Tang Yu … "Ruan Qingshui looked at Tang Yu with a meaningful smile.
"Your five million troops against Marshal Artuzov's two million troops, the odds of winning are fifty-fifty. Any weakness you have will be caught by him! He's the strongest wall between you and Skynet, "Ruan Qingshui said.
