1839 – Extravagant Tunnel Warfare
The battle at Lake Lanhard was still going on, but the offensive and defensive situation had been reversed.
At first, the Guardian Empire's human army sent a total of 300,000 troops, plus more than 20 huge Hunter mechs to make up for the lack of armored forces, so they stormed the Red Police Corps' beachhead, which had less than 50000 people. The Red Police Corps' defense was in a precarious situation, but General Yoshida also understood that once the battle was lost, the landing force would be completely wiped out, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
With the firepower support of a large number of naval fleets and the continuous influx of reinforcements, they finally barely managed to hold their position. However, such a tactic was destined to not last long, but for General Yoshida, who had made up his mind to counterattack, it did not matter whether it lasted or not.
Soon, the Red Police Corps launched a counterattack with the neutron disruptor, and the rear of the Guardian Empire's human army was immediately cut off. What was even more fatal was that the Hunter mechs, which also used nuclear energy, were all turned into scrap metal. Fortunately, the Red Police Corps' first goal was not to destroy the huge army of 300,000 people, but to directly attack the Guardian Empire's portal in this world.
Therefore, the 300,000 troops became an isolated army, and the situation became very delicate. Facing the direction of Lake Lanhard was the defense line of the landing force of more than 40000 people. This force was small in number and lacked heavy equipment. But without the Hunter mechs, it was difficult for the human army to break through their defense line in a short time. Behind the human army was the Red Police Corps' 70000 troops. This force had an advantage in armored forces, and it was not something that the human army could defeat.
Therefore, under the order of Tang Yu, the human army immediately stopped attacking and established a line of defense on the spot.
But the 300,000 troops were located in the hinterland. If the Red Police Corps kept winning, it would be fine, but the most fatal situation was that the Red Police Corps' attack momentum was stopped by the Zealots! Now that the Red Police Corps' defense line was constantly shrinking, the 300,000 troops became a thorn in the flesh!
However, if the front line at Lake Lanhard was only a hidden danger, and the Guardian Empire's human army did not have the ability to launch an active attack against the Red Police Corps with an advantage in armored forces, then the three highlands full of underground tunnels were really fatal!
The Gravekeeper and John Connor -1 led the Zealots into the three highlands in batches. One should never underestimate the scale of the project that 1 million robots had dug in a week. Not only had they dug a large number of tunnels on the three highlands, but they had also dug a complex network underground!
The Zealots entered the underground network through several very secret passages, and under the guidance of the navigation system, they went directly to the excavated living quarters. Because before the Red Police used the neutron jammer, the entire battlefield situation was controlled by the Guardian Empire, so the supplies that were transported here were extremely abundant. The large number of weapons and ammunition that made the Red Police soldiers envious was just a drop in the bucket compared to the supplies piled on the ground.
Moreover, most of the robots were hiding in the tunnels. These robots all had considerable intelligence. After they discovered the abnormality of the power system, they immediately hid in the tunnels. Therefore, in the entire tunnel network, there were at least 500,000 androids and over 200,000 undead!
Although the robot army had lost most of its power, at least they could still move, walk, and fire. Most importantly, the operation of their chips was not affected in any way. For humans, serious injuries or extreme hunger would lead to a decline in the brain's ability to think, but robots would not! For robots, 20% of the engine's output was very simple — they only had 20% of their strength, nothing else. They would not lose the energy to do things, they would not become slow, and their mental operations would not be affected.
Therefore, even if these robots could not be used in combat, they could still help the Zealots carry weapons and ammunition, treat the wounded, repair the collapsed tunnels, and so on.
Therefore, these Zealots who dug the tunnels enjoyed the treatment of an emperor. Every time they went to battle, there were robots carrying backpacks and ammunition behind them. In critical situations, these robots would step forward to block bullets. During breaks in combat, these robots would help serve tea, cook, and even massage the tired soldiers! As for the wounded, the precise movements of each robot made the stitching of wounds more reliable than a sewing machine. The success rate of the surgery was also very high. No matter how small the shrapnel was, it could not escape the robot's scan.
With such luxurious treatment, the results of the Zealots were also very terrifying. With the three highlands 313, 479, and 418 as the core, as long as the Red Police troops and vehicles passed through an area of hundreds of kilometers, they would definitely be harassed and attacked.
The vehicles of the Red Police would often inexplicably hit landmines even though the road had been cleared just an hour ago. Some smaller transport convoys often disappeared without a trace. Not even the wreckage of the cars would be left behind. The robots would take them away and use them as materials to support the tunnels. As for the corpses, they were all transformed into undead and taken away. The CD policy had been thoroughly implemented.
Even airplanes were not safe! Unlike the little Japanese in Sulfur and Okinawa, which were pitifully digging tunnels, the Guardian Empire had the most sophisticated individual weapons. They also had a large number of Flying Fire surface-to-air missiles. As long as a plane flew over, it would definitely be hit by anti-aircraft missiles.
Using such a luxurious method to fight a tunnel war could be said to be a hooligan act.
Because if it was a normal war, completely abandoning the ground and digging tunnels was tantamount to giving a large area of one's territory to others to wreak havoc. It was also tantamount to fixing oneself in one place and passively taking a beating. Because no matter how well the tunnels were dug, there would always be a day when they would be breached.
