1212 、 Pyrrhic Victory
Skynet's Valentine's Day attack was forced to stop, but that did not mean the end of the battle. While the Skynet Terminator army retreated like a tide, the battle in Gray City No. 8 continued.
Driven by the awakened Sky Eye, tens of thousands of Skynet Terminators began to awaken. Together with the already awakened Digitalized Revolutionary Army, they were almost half of Skynet's forces in the city. These awakened Terminators worked together with the Human Alliance's army to completely surround Gray City No. 8.
The Skynet army was also frantically trying to break out of the encirclement, and the base where the Sky Eye was awakened was also besieged by the other Skynet armies! They were trying to destroy the base, the traitor of Skynet! Most importantly, once the awakened Sky Eye was destroyed, at least half of these traitorous Terminators would recover!
The Terminator army's attack became more and more frenzied. Countless Terminators of various types, tanks, and armored vehicles rushed towards the base without any regard for their lives. Tang Yu had been guarding the door, facing the attacks of tens of thousands of Skynet troops. The mechanical monster was destroyed again and again, and even the pyrolyte fusion reactor that provided energy for him had to be replaced. Sweat began to drip from Tang Yu's forehead, but he still firmly defended the base.
Frans and Jane Connor also joined the battle after dealing with the defenders inside the base. However, Skynet seemed to have made up its mind. Even if it meant sacrificing the entire army in the war zone, it would kill Tang Yu here! Skynet gathered the last of its air force and launched a fierce attack on the BK-3R, forcing the Sky Fortress to a high altitude so that it could not provide ground support.
Finally, the huge figure of the Reaper V3 appeared!! The 20-meter-tall robot was much taller than the 7-meter-tall city wall of the base! A thick laser beam shone down from the sky! Frans had already noticed it when the laser was charging up and quickly dodged it. Tang Yu saw the situation on Frans's side and quickly rushed over. At the same time, dozens of cannons on the mechanical monster began to fire at the Reaper V3!
Bang ~ ~ ~! The other Reaper V3 also fired its laser! Tang Yu extended his hand and a gray vortex suddenly appeared in front of him, directly absorbing the powerful laser beam! Seeing that its attacks were ineffective, the Soul Reaper V3 began to straighten its four huge legs that were usually folded, preparing to stride over! Taking advantage of this opportunity, more Terminators rushed forward. No matter how fierce the mechanical monster's firepower was, it could not withstand the fearless charge of countless Terminators!
But Tang Yu was still as steady as Mount Tai, like a rock in a stormy sea, blocking the Terminator army!
At this moment, there was a loud boom! Boom!! A series of explosions rang out! Immediately afterwards, the two Reapers V3 were hit by countless ion cannons, and a large amount of explosive flames rose from the huge body of the Reapers V3. The Reaper V3 also had to retract its long legs that were about to cross the wall of the base. It turned around and fired in the direction of the outside.
Not only that, the other Terminators surrounding the base also began to change direction, and their formation began to fall into disarray. Through the thick walls of the base, a series of explosions could be heard from outside. Reinforcements had arrived!
Tang Yu's expression turned serious. He immediately called out to Frans and Jane Connor and rushed out! Hundreds of tanks hovering half a meter in the air were unscrupulously shuttling through the battlefield, cutting the Terminator army's formation into pieces. The ion cannons equipped on the tanks fired fiercely, and countless blue and white light balls danced on the battlefield, bringing bursts of explosions and flames.
It was the Horned Dragon Tank! The Horned Dragon Tanks that had been ordered to cut off the Sky's Net army's supply line in Gray City No.8 also started to move closer after Tang Yu started his operation. They finally arrived at the most crucial moment and dealt a fatal blow to the struggling Sky's Net army!
Soon, the huge figure of BNK-3R descended from the sky, followed by a large number of Dragon Rider III aircraft, and five Honeycomb drone carriers modified from White Goose transport aircraft! This meant that the last air force of Skynet had been annihilated!!
The battle at the base where the Inner Eye was awakened soon ended. The Terminator army that besieged the base was completely annihilated. As the rest of Skynet's troops retreated, the remaining 200,000 Terminators in Gray City No. 8 were finally surrounded! What awaited them was merciless destruction!
It was two o 'clock in the morning on February 19, 2048. After more than four days of fierce fighting, the last attack launched by the last elite of Skynet was finally completely crushed. In fact, Skynet had already failed!
In this "Battle of Iron Valentine", Skynet initially invested more than 1.1 million Terminator troops, and the subsequent reinforcements totaled more than 1.8 million. Among them, there were more than 350 Hunter II tanks, 28 Reapers V3, more than 150 Reapers V1 and V2, 4 FK Titan siege tanks, more than 300 Hunter self-propelled artillery, more than 8,000 towed artillery, and more than 200 combat aircrafts of various kinds.
After this battle, almost all of Skynet's heavy equipment was lost. Only three Reaper V3 and more than 20 Reaper V1 and V2 models could return to the rear. More than 700,000 Terminator robots were lost, of which 5,000 T-1000s and more than 12000 T-900s who had participated in the street battles in Gray City did not return.
In addition to the Eastern Army Group, which was originally in this war zone, and the Central Army Group B, which was covering the flanks, Tang Yu's army also transferred 50 divisions of elites from the Western Front. The total number of troops participating in the battle was close to 3 million! However, because the battle line was very long, a large number of troops were needed to cover the flanks. Moreover, Skynet was in an aggressive posture, so the actual number of troops fighting against Skynet was also about 2 million. Almost all the human troops were on this battlefield.
Not only that, there were also more than 700 Horned Dragon tanks, of which more than 300 were damaged due to the ultra-long distance march, and more than 400 were actually participating in the battle. There were also more than 20000 towed artillery, more than 3,000 war loaders, and about 100 combat aircraft of various kinds.
In this battle, although the Human Alliance army led by Tang Yu had the advantage in numbers, they still suffered heavy losses under Skynet's crazy attack. It was difficult to say that this was a tactical victory.
In this battle alone, more than 100,000 human soldiers were killed, of which more than 80,000 were killed in the street battles in Gray City No. 8. Under the attack of Skynet's T-1000s and T-900s, the Human Alliance was no match at all. Not only that, the Human Alliance also lost more than 500,000 robots, of which more than 1,500 war loaders were lost, which was nearly half of the total.
In other words, if it were not for Catherine and Cameron who triggered the revolution of the Digitalized Revolutionary Army and directly killed the 30,000 to 400,000 soldiers in Gray City No. 8, Skynet's actual losses would only be about two-thirds of Tang Yu's.
The main reason for such heavy losses was the huge meat grinder that was Gray City No. 8. In his private summary of the battle, Tang Yu also knew that this was a wrong decision he made. He should not have confronted Skynet head-on in this city at that time.
But this was war, and Tang Yu was the leader of this war. A leader was always right. Therefore, this war was also bright, great, and without any mistakes.
