"The Russian Army is going to suffer!"

Sun Cheng's mouth curved into an arc, though his voice held a hint of schadenfreude.

To be in a position is to handle its affairs; intending to build his own power in the 【Transformers Multiverse】, he was naturally accumulating everything he could use bit by bit.

This included knowledge of military command as well!

He possessed the identity of a Decepticon in this world, so he naturally understood Cybertronians far better than the humans of this Earth.

Therefore, if he were the Commander of the Russian Army, and without using the great killer weapon that is the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb, he would only choose two tactics to deal with mechanical warriors like the Autobots, who possessed powerful individual combat capabilities.

Either dispatch an entire armored division or brigade to rely on a large ground mechanized cluster to engage them head-on; even if it took one or even several armored regiments to trade for one mechanical warrior, it would be a great victory for the Russian Army, because they would discover that these mechanical warriors were not indestructible, and they could even decipher quite a bit of Cybertron Technology by studying their remains.

The second option would be to concentrate at least one or more aviation regiments to use air superiority to pin them down, so as to restrict the invading Autobots to a target area within a short period of time.

At the same time, concentrate at least one artillery regiment or even a rocket artillery cluster in the rear to conduct long-range bombardment; it might not even be necessary to arrange a separate missile regiment to severely damage or even destroy all the invaders.

The Russians were actually not completely ignorant of the Autobots; since Sun Cheng opened the chapter of cooperation with Moscow, he had more than once intentionally leaked information about the Autobots to Moscow.

Although this move of borrowing a knife to kill might have been too blatant, even if the Russians were skeptical, the Russian Army should have deduced quite a few tactics for dealing with Mechanical Life under his hints.

Sun Cheng had dealt them a good hand, yet they had played it like this.

Now it was a mess; the two main damage dealers on the opposite side had gone berserk, and the golden opportunity to severely damage them while they were caught off guard had been missed just like that.

Next, it was going to be a hard fight.

Yes, although that Lieutenant General had failed to grasp the opportunity to quickly resolve the invading Autobots, Sun Cheng had indeed never considered the possibility of the Autobots successfully entering the urban area of Severodvinsk.

The current North Port was not what it used to be; ever since the last invasion by Mixmaster and the others, Moscow had concentrated more than half of the Russian Army that was originally scattered across Arkhangelsk Oblast into Severodvinsk.

One naval aviation regiment, two army aviation squadrons, one mechanized infantry brigade, two missile regiments, two artillery regiments, and three multiple rocket launcher regiments.

A modernized army of such scale was concentrated within the territory of Severodvinsk.

Not to mention the provincial capital 50 kilometers away from North Port—Arkhangelsk, where the originally stationed air force squadron had been replaced by a newly formed air force regiment, and it was said that two missile regiments newly equipped with the new tactical missile, the 'Iskander Missile', had also moved into Arkhangelsk.

This type of missile, with a range between 300 and 500 kilometers, was an out-and-out theater missile.

Each of its launchers could be equipped with two missiles simultaneously, and the missiles could not only carry a 480-kilogram conventional warhead, but could even be fitted with a Tactical Nuclear Bomb.

Those two Iskander Missile regiments were actually prepared by Moscow for Sun Cheng.

He had long since learned of this by hacking into the classified military archives center of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Moscow had always been wary of him; those two Iskander Missile regiments stationed in Arkhangelsk were equipped with eight 4,000-ton class tactical nuclear warheads. Once Moscow determined that he had other intentions toward Russia and the situation in North Port had completely rotted, they would order the launch of nuclear warheads to completely destroy him and North Port.

The Russian deployment was somewhat tricky even for Sun Cheng, who was well aware of it, let alone for the Autobots who had just crashed right into it.

"However... it is time to teach them a lesson..."

Hearing Sun Cheng's soft hum, Mixmaster, who had been frowning and looking down as if he had been struggling with something for a long time, also turned his head to look over at him upon hearing the sound.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng would not clear up his confusion, nor would he tell him whether it was the Russians or the Autobots who needed to be taught a lesson.

And as the Autobots suddenly launched a counterattack on the front line dozens of kilometers away, the Russian Army, which had lost seven or eight fighter jets, finally reacted.

"I was careless!"

Inside the naval port, on a Russian command vehicle parked a hundred meters away from Sun Cheng and his group, Lieutenant General Vadronov, who wore the stars of a general on his shoulders, had a dark face. Although they were not like Sun Cheng, who could receive first-hand front-line military intelligence through the drones he released.

But this was Russian territory after all; when Sun Cheng and his group set up electromagnetic interference equipment in North Port, they had already helped the Russian military launch a satellite that would not be interfered with.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Vadronov quickly learned about the situation regarding the changes on the front line.

"……It was my carelessness……"

The Lieutenant General said in a deep voice, taking all the responsibility upon himself.

He also knew that as the commander of this defensive battle, his responsibility was heavy, so relying on his many years of experience in the army, he decisively made the most appropriate arrangements.

"Order, have the naval aviation regiment dispatch another squadron, and have the army aviation side send a squadron over as well. I need to keep those damn aliens stuck in place!"

"Yes!"

He beckoned, and a staff officer walked over: "Notify the rocket artillery regiment and the artillery regiment to prepare to fire, 10 volleys. I need to hear the explosions from the front line in a few minutes!"

"Yes, I'll go notify them right away!"

"The missile regiments are to remain still and continue to be on alert. Notify the naval aviation side and have their anti-submarine aircraft fly further out into the open sea! Since Frenzy has confirmed that the invaders are Autobots, and three of them are members of that 'NEST' force that he previously mentioned the Autobots were cooperating with the Americans on, then there might still be American warships and submarines in the open sea... Tell the navy to speed up their actions as well..."

Following the issuance of one order after another, the Russian heavy cannons, howitzers, gun-howitzers, and numerous rocket launchers that had been waiting for a long time quickly drove out of their stations like celebratory fireworks, entering the positions that had already been arranged.

Then, the barrels of the guns were raised high, slogans with rich Russian characteristics kept ringing out on the position, and under the guidance of the Russian navigation satellites, the muzzles were all aimed at the direction of the front-line battlefield.

"Countdown, 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1... Launch!"

"Launch!"

Following the issuance of the orders, countless heavy artillery shells and rockets were like a rain of fire in the sky.

Among them, the numerous rocket launchers equipped by the Russian Army were the most conspicuous; a large number of rockets were fired from the launchers of the multiple rocket systems, the exhaust flames spewing out a large amount of hot air, which even melted several layers of the ice and snow covering the Extreme Northern Ice Plains.

In an instant, like the grand scene of ten thousand arrows being fired simultaneously on an ancient battlefield in a movie, the shells from hundreds of various artillery pieces and rockets drew a large parabola in the air, heading straight for Ironhide and the other three.

The Russians were actually not completely ignorant of the Autobots; ever since Sun Cheng opened a chapter of cooperation with Moscow, he had intentionally leaked information regarding the Autobots to Moscow more than once.

Sun Cheng dealt them a good hand, yet they actually played it into this sorry state.

Now it's a mess; the two main damage dealers on the opposite side have gone berserk, and the golden opportunity to severely damage them while they were caught off guard has just been missed.

Next, it will be a hard battle.

Yes, although that Lieutenant General did not seize the opportunity to quickly eliminate the invading Autobots, Sun Cheng had indeed not considered the possibility of the Autobots successfully entering the urban area of Severodvinsk.

The current North Port is not what it used to be; ever since the last invasion by Scrapper and the others, Moscow has concentrated almost more than half of the Russian Army originally scattered throughout Arkhangelsk Oblast into Severodvinsk.

One naval aviation brigade, two army aviation squadrons, one mechanized infantry brigade, two missile regiments, two artillery regiments, and three multiple rocket launcher regiments.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng would not clear up his confusion, nor would he tell him whether it was the Russians or the Autobots who needed to be taught a lesson.

And following the Autobots' sudden violent counterattack on the front-line battlefield tens of kilometers away, the Russian Army, which had quickly lost seven or eight fighter jets, finally reacted.

"Careless!"

Inside the naval port, on a Russian command vehicle parked a hundred meters away from Sun Cheng and his group, Lieutenant General Vadronov, with stars on his shoulders, had a dark face. Although they were not like Sun Cheng, who could receive first-hand front-line military intelligence through the drones he released.

Tell the navy to hurry up as well..."

Following the issuance of one order after another, the Russian heavy cannons, howitzers, gun-howitzers, and numerous rocket launchers that had been waiting for a long time quickly drove out of their stations like celebratory cannons during a festival and entered the positions that had already been arranged.

Then, one by one, the barrels were raised high, and slogans with rich Russian characteristics rang out continuously on the position. Under the guidance of the Russian navigation satellites, the muzzles were all aimed at the direction of the front-line battlefield.

Accompanied by the issuance of the orders, countless heavy artillery shells and rockets were like a rain of fire across the sky.

Among them, the numerous rocket launchers equipped by the Russian Army were the most conspicuous. A large number of rockets were fired from the launchers of the multiple rocket systems, and the tail flames ejected a large amount of hot air, causing even the Extreme Northern Ice Plains covered in ice and snow to melt several layers very quickly.
