Gray City No. 13 has now become a key point in the competition between the two sides.
As long as Vatutin holds the city, the 50,000 troops of the northern legion will not be surrounded and can continue to contain Zheng Hong's Eastern Army Group. If the Eastern Army Group cannot make a move, then even if Tang Yu leads the Horned Dragon
The tank troops moved south to join Chen Fei's armored troops, but they could not prevent Vatutin's troops from escaping.
If, on the other hand, Gray City No. 13 falls, then Tang Yu will really have everything he wants on this front!
On the one hand, Vatutin actively deployed the city's defense. He sent all the heavy equipment he could find. Artillery, tanks, hunter-killer aircraft, and a squadron of interceptor fighter jets - this was in Stu
After the air battle at Lalo, it was the only air power he had left.
At the same time, he also began to prepare for the Southeast Army Group to shrink its defense line and begin to slowly retreat. Because the frontline battle was already very dangerous, since the air supremacy was lost and the Dragoon III aircraft was liberated, this terrifying aircraft became
A nightmare for ground troops.
The six small-caliber ion cannons on the aircraft are equally powerful under intensive bombing. What's even more terrible is that this aircraft is equipped with an energy shield! Vatutin knows very well why the Guardian Group is able to fight the war to this extent.
, the most critical reason is not their technology that can quickly produce robots, but the energy shield!
Even if the Guardian Group can quickly produce robots, they will be limited by raw materials after all, and the combined industrial capabilities of Skynet definitely exceed the Guardian Group, so this technology can only narrow the gap between the two sides. And energy
The shield is different. There are now units equipped with energy shields, such as the Horned Dragon tank, Dragoon III aircraft, war loader, Iron Curtain loader, and BNK-3R! Except for the last one, which is basically invincible, the others
Several units had to concentrate a lot of firepower to break through their energy shields, and before that, they had already dealt a huge blow to Skynet's legions.
In other words, they are equipped with a large number of energy shields, corrosive bombs designed to deal with robots, incendiary bombs designed to deal with human soldiers, and an almost dominant electronic warfare aircraft commander. This guardian
The group's army actually surpasses Skynet by an entire era!
…
"Immediately order Heiwenk and Bindel's troops to retreat immediately, abandon their current positions, and rearrange their defense lines to avoid being surrounded!" At the command center of the Southeast Army Group, Vatutin ordered, but his communicator directly
He was held down by an iron arm extending from the side!
Standing next to him, the T-900 with traces of coffee on his head turned to look at him and said coldly: "Skynet's order is not to retreat." This is the frontline strategic command AI Sky Eye passing T-
900Talk to him.
"If they don't retreat, then they are in danger of being surrounded!!" Vatugin said coldly.
"Guard Gray City No. 13, and they won't be surrounded." Tianyan said.
"Then how can you guarantee that Gray City No. 13 will not fall!!" Vatugin asked rhetorically.
"This is your business." Tianyan said calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Vatugin looked at the T-900 coldly and said slowly: "You have to be clear, Sky Eye. Sturaro's tragic defeat in the air battle was precisely due to your command! And I was just here
Wipe your ass!"
After saying that, Vatugin gave a cruel order with a cold face: "Immediately distribute weapons to all the people in Gray City No. 13, block all exits of the city, and let them defend the city! Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy.
! Not only the person who escapes will die, but his neighbors and relatives will also be executed!"
He now knows better than anyone that once the front line collapses, his fate will be exactly the same as General Beria's!
"According to simulation calculations, the Gray City has a total population of 270,000. If they are fully armed, plus the troops we mobilized, a total of 200,000 people, it will take the Guardian Group at least 8 months to capture. What a good idea." Tianyan looked at him.
Said with one glance.
Vatujin looked gloomy and ignored it. He just turned to the staff officer on the other side and asked, "What are the trends of Tang Yu's armored forces now?"
"They have been harassing our army's flanks before, but after our army established a foothold in Gray City No. 13, they did not continue to attack." The staff officer replied, and then he suddenly covered his ears and whispered a few words, and quickly raised his head.
He continued: "The latest intelligence received is that Tang Yu's armored troops abandoned Gray City No. 13 and went south directly!"
"Give up? What is he thinking? Without capturing this place, his strategy will never be achieved!" Vatutin said in a deep voice.
"I think they will still attack Gray City No. 13, because the Guardian Group's army is deploying frontally. And there is also a strange legion..." the staff officer said hesitantly.
"What legion?" Vatutin asked quickly.
"See for yourself." The staff officer said, passing a video to Vatutin.
Through the video footage, Vatutin only saw a lifeless army standing there motionless. Why do you say lifeless? Because all the soldiers in this army were wearing black combat uniforms and wearing masks that looked a bit like insects.
, the exposed arms were all gray. If you want to describe it, these soldiers look like corpses!!
Moreover, around these soldiers, there was a robot that was 80% similar to the Hyperion loader, with various ferocious pictures painted on its body with red paint. Vatutin suspected that the red paint was actually blood.
"This legion has about 100,000 people, and it seems that it should be the main force in this battle." said the staff officer.
Vatutin frowned. Although 500,000 people fought against 100,000 people, it was still a defensive battle, and it should be 100% sure, but he suddenly felt an ominous premonition. Because every time he felt that 100,000 people were sure, he laughed.
In the end, it was always Tang Yu!

May 20, 2047, 9 pm.
On a hill, a slender beauty was looking coldly ahead at No. 13, Kara Radames, the gray city that was dark due to the blackout.
"Are you ready? Gravekeeper." Carla Radames asked coldly without looking back.
Click, click, click, the tombkeeper tremblingly wielded his cane and walked over with a stooped body. He looked at Kara and replied with a strange smile: "Jiejiejiejiejie... Everything is ready, my queen..."
"Then let's start the attack." Kara's eyes kept looking in the direction of Gray City No. 13.
"But according to the plan, we should attack at 11 o'clock." said the tombkeeper.
"It's not necessary. I don't know anything about military command. But for a battle that must be won, it doesn't matter when to start the attack. I only know that Tang Yu wants this city, so I have to take this city.
Give him the city." Kara said coldly.
"Jiejiejiejiejie... As long as the city is fine... Jiejiejie Jiejie... It doesn't matter if you want other things..." The tombkeeper laughed strangely.

May 20, 9:45 pm.
Three F-15C fighter jets flew quickly towards Gray City No. 13. These fighter jets initially flew at ultra-low altitudes to avoid radar detection. After approaching the city, they began to reveal their figures and climbed to 3,000 meters.
the height of.
Not surprisingly, a burst of fire lit up from inside the city, and then several surface-to-air missiles took off and flew straight towards the three planes!
Boom!! An F-15C fighter jet was hit by a missile and turned into a fireball and fell down. The other two fighter jets seemed to be frightened and plunged down, spinning rapidly and avoiding the anti-aircraft missiles.
It struck, and then crashed into the buildings in the city with a loud bang.
Immediately, a large number of Gray Army soldiers rushed to the crash site and surrounded it.
