Chapter 1143 Cruel Street Fighting
1143. Cruel Street Fighting
The troops defending the city of steel now have a total of 15,000 people from the 9th Infantry Division of the Guardian Group, plus 5,000 people from the two regiments supported from New Lanzhou, a total of 20,000 human soldiers. There are also 8,000 G-1 engineering robots of the Second Robot Corps, 9,000 T-600 Terminator, and 3,000 T-800 Terminator, a total of 20,000 combat robots.
After more than a week of hard fighting and attrition, there were still more than 16,000 human troops left, but they received some troops that retreated from the line of defense at the connection between the city of steel and the manufacturing center, and the number increased to more than 21,000. But the robot army suffered heavy losses. Although there are several robot production lines in the city of steel, all of them are G-1 engineering robots. Even so, the number of robot army has dropped to more than 12,000 units, which shows the tragedy of the war.
"Yesterday, the Gray Army launched a bombardment in the northern suburbs of the city, destroying three buildings. However, the structures of these buildings have not been completely destroyed, and they can barely be used as fortifications." In the command center in the city, Kang Hao pointed at the holographic map Said, there are several combat staff officers standing beside him, as well as Luo Cheng and Christina.
"Their firepower density shouldn't be so low." Christina said lightly.
"Yes, so I judge that this direction is just a test, and the opponent's attack must start from another direction! This must be the opponent's conspiracy!!" Kang Hao pondered.
"Hmph, they will come sooner or later. Now that the fanatic troops have all been recycled into the city, I selected 300 experts with sniper rifles from them, and the remaining 200 people can be organized into 40 combat teams of 5 people. Distributed at key points in the city. In addition, I need you to mobilize 600 T-800s to give me command." Luo Cheng clicked on the holographic map a few times and said.
"Why do you want so many T-800s? You must know that there are only more than 2,000 T-800s left in the Second Robot Corps. Are they going to be divided into one third?" Kang Hao frowned and asked. .
"Hmph! You don't understand this! Do you know what kind of robot T-800 is?" Luo Cheng asked in a rough voice.
Kang Hao was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Uh... strong? Smart? Resist?"
Luo Cheng snorted, rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have to make up for the performance of these robots! The T-800 made by the Guardian Group is as smart as a high school student, but it's not like Skynet. A rigid robot with a learning mechanism. Moreover, the T-800 is equipped with an infrared sensor with a maximum focal length of 8-12 times magnification and a night vision function. Do you know what this means in street fighting?"
Kang Hao is not an idiot after all,
His eyes lit up immediately, and he said loudly: "Sniper!! You mean, sniper!!!"
"It's not a sniper, it's an observer!" Luo Cheng corrected, "In the sniper team, the T-800 is the perfect observer! It can easily provide the sniper with various data, and when necessary, it can also protect the sniper Evacuate. And as a robot, even if it is carrying a layer of concrete block camouflage on its body, it is very easy to walk, and when it lies on the ground, it will be a pile of motionless stones. Is there a more perfect observer than this?"
"So that's how it is! And the snipers of your fanatic army have rich combat experience, which can greatly make up for the shortcomings of the T-800's inflexible combat strategy! Such a two-person sniper combination is completely invincible!!" Kang Hao suddenly became excited.
"Yes! That's it!! Then divide the rest of us into combat groups, and fight against the gray army in every building! Let them pay the price of blood for every step forward!!" Luo Chengmu With a fierce look, he poked fiercely on the holographic screen.
Christina suddenly said from the side: "300 sniper teams? I think we can have a competition to see who kills more enemies."
"Are you alone, compared to my 300 sniper teams?" Luo Cheng looked at Christina and asked, his tone was very careful, because in the Kosmos, Christina existed like a mistress.
"Don't you dare?" Christina tilted her head.
"Hahaha! Good! I accept this challenge with great honor!!" Luo Cheng laughed loudly.
"Don't worry about killing them! Leave the command here to me! I have also learned a lot from General Chen Fei. No matter what, it must be delayed until January 10!!" Kang Hao said firmly.
"Hahaha! I'll leave it to you. Rather than staying in the command center, I'd rather walk on the knife's edge!" Luo Cheng laughed and patted Kang Hao on the shoulder and said.
Suddenly there was a surge of liquid metal on Christina's body, and the T-1000 split from her body, and then they turned into two ordinary-looking gray-clothed soldiers, and they gave Kang Hao a sinister smile, scaring him immediately It's creepy.
...
In the early hours of January 3, 2046, General Nguyen Khanh Shui, Commander of the Fifth Army of the Gray Army, and General Vatutin, Commander of the Second Army, directly tore up General Beria's request that they abandon the city of steel and turn to The stupid order to attack the manufacturing center has launched a full-scale attack on the city of steel!
Four infantry divisions of the Fifth Army, one infantry division of the Second Army, and the four tank regiments of the First Armored Army simultaneously attacked the city of steel from both north and south directions!
Under the command of Admiral Ruan Qingshui, the tank unit of the First Armored Army first concentrated dozens of tanks and armored vehicles to launch several assaults on the city, and soon broke through the outer defense line of the city, covering the infantry entering the city. Immediately afterwards, a large number of gray-clothed soldiers launched an attack with tanks as the core, and began to clear the guard group army that was defending the city one by one.
Contrary to what many people think, in fact, tanks are the most powerful weapon in urban street warfare, especially modern tanks. This has been reflected in many modern wars. Tanks can provide protection, firepower, and strong linear mobility that infantry do not have. They can provide mobile shelters for infantry around them, and the 120mm main gun can also remove those concrete fortifications at fixed points. You can rush over directly, or hit a fork in the building complex.
And under a good and complete tactical system, it is not easy to use individual anti-tank weapons to attack tanks from inside the complex. On the contrary, because of the construction, these soldiers must be very close to the tank to launch anti-tank weapons. Coupled with the huge size of the bazooka and anti-tank missiles, they can easily be spotted and eliminated by other infantry around them.
Therefore, Ruan Qingshui would rather wait an extra day and deploy the four relatively complete tank regiments of the First Armored Army among the infantry divisions to cover the advance of the infantry.
The Guardian Group has already responded. Although the defenders of the Iron City have no armored units, the sniper team composed of a large number of Zealot troops and T-800 is shining. These sniper teams first cooperated with several teams to disrupt the infantry around the Gray Army tanks. When they showed their flaws, the ordinary infantry used RPG-7 rocket launchers or meteor missiles to directly destroy the tanks.
Almost immediately after the gray army entered the city, the infantry suffered heavy losses. Many soldiers were directly shot dead by sniper rifles without even knowing where the bullets came from. And the loss of the tank troops is also great, because among the Guardian Group's army, it is not only rocket launchers or anti-tank missiles that can threaten tanks, they also have Shiren assault rifles!
Although the armor of the tank is very thick, the corrosive bullets of the Poison Blade assault rifle have a miraculous effect on metals. Although one or two corrosive bullets have little effect, the ubiquitous Guardian Group soldiers shoot twice here and twice there. , almost every gray army tank that entered the city was covered with green slime.
After the armor was softened and weakened by the corrosive bombs, the role of the tank as a fulcrum for street fighting began to decline sharply, and the casualties of the gray army were also increasing. However, the gray-clothed army has a large number of people after all. Although they suffered heavy losses, they still steadily advanced towards the city.
Kristina is also doing her best to kill and injure the Gray Army troops, even if the tanks are just a few ion cannons in front of her. Even she used the KLD universal repeater to control a few tanks, causing several small chaos to the gray army. But the direction she can take care of is limited after all.
By January 4th, the farthest advancing troops of the Gray Army had advanced nearly 2 kilometers inside the City of Steel!
