When everyone woke up, eating breakfast, while looking at the various combat command maps hanging on the wall in the combat conference room, the fat man who opened the door stood at the conference table and introduced himself: "I am Liu Keting, the commander of the 8th Regiment of the 21st Brigade of the 15th Division of the Seventh Army. Welcome everyone to Castle No. 5 of Plain." The fat man's expression was relaxed, and his face was relaxed. If it weren't for the bandages wrapped in his hands and the military uniform on his body, he would be like a trumpet player who played saxophone in the dungeon karaoke hall, he would not be like a soldier who had fought for a long time on the battlefield, let alone a leader of a regiment commanding more than 2,000 people.

"Yesterday, I could see that you have walked a long way to our 8th Regiment. Everyone must have been very tired after crossing the battlefield to come here. How could you rest last night?" He scratched his hair and asked, and the hair was tied into a short bunch behind his head, revealing a shiny reflection.

The combat conference room was not big, and there were several armor similar to the armor of ancient combat in the middle of the various combat maps, but it did not seem crowded at all. The team members of the operation team were eating breakfast while looking at the combat room, "Well, it's not bad." Wu Kun said. He was looking at the blue armor when he said this. I don't know whether he was answering Liu Keting or evaluating the armor. "It seems that there was a big battle here a few days ago?" Yang Botao said.

Liu Keting took out a watch from his arms, looked at it, and said, "Yes, that was a week ago. You actually passed through the battlefield, so I won't hide it. A week ago, when our troops were transporting supplies to the castle, they were ambushed by the mechanical troops. There was no way, so we had to take the initiative to attack. A bloody battle was considered to have all the supplies safely snatched back. But you have also seen that the price we paid was also huge. There were 489 people who died in battle and 553 people injured. These two parts basically lost half of our combatants."

"Why are there so many armors here?" Wu Kun asked.

Liu Keting smiled and said, "That was left by the previous regiment commander. In his eyes, sticking to it is the best choice."

Yang Botao continued to ask about the last battle: "What is the enemy's troops in the last battle?"

Liu Keting pondered slightly and said, "The number of mechanical troops is only about 150." He paused and continued, "When we were in the mechanical troops, we counted their death rate. The loss rate of mechanical troops was probably more than 80." Liu Keting said it was not heavy. Judging from the results, the combat death rate of about 6:1 was considered high among all the resistance troops, so it is not embarrassing to say such casualties.

In contrast to Liu Keting, Guo Tianming stared at the pancakes that were peeling open in his hand for a while, sighed and said heavily: "For these supplies, the dead brothers... Alas, it's a bit worth dying!"

Liu Keting smiled and said, "Hey, those who can come here basically don't plan to leave alive. Even if they leave, what place can they go to in this world? Brother, don't lament about their sacrifice. Fighting on the front line is the glory we have! Even if we die, this glory will be remembered by everyone!"

"That's it! For the survival of all mankind, it's worth it even if it's dead!" Yang Botao slapped the table and shouted. Everyone couldn't help but stop the chopsticks and raised their arms to agree.

A few words made everyone's emotions motivate. Li Xinyan couldn't help but look at the fat man Liu Keting with some admiration. He saw his fat body that did not show strength. Li Xinyan was a little doubtful if his regiment commander had been experiencing qualifications, but at this moment he realized that he was wrong. He suddenly thought of a question and said, "How do you stop the attack of the mechanical beast? Is it just relying on this high city wall? The robot can climb the wall. They can climb up my cliff seven or eight hundred meters high. Can your castle be around a hundred meters high blocks block their attack?"

Liu Keting smiled and said, "Ha, this question is interesting. I wonder if you saw the worms hanging on the walls outside the castle when you came in. Those things are our way to deal with the attack of the robot, and it has been effective for so many years! Well, this thing has to be attributed to my taking office. This is the method he figured out, simple but extremely efficient."

"Those maggots? Could it be that there is a mystery there?" Yang Botao asked.

"Yes! It's a kind of thing that mixes animal fat, vegetable oil and lubricant. Whenever the mechanical beasts crawl, they will burst. These lubricating oil bags that look like maggots will be coated with a layer of sticky and slippery colloid on the city wall after bursting. Not only will the cracks of the stones be bonded to protect the rock, leaving the mechanical beasts without any effort, and leaving the mechanical beasts without the strength to dig small holes in the air, so after this thing is hung up, few mechanical beasts can climb up. Even if the mechanical beasts climb up, we gently sweep the bullets down, and they will fall down. As long as they fall down, their own gravity will be enough to break them. The mechanical beasts that have broken will also be greatly reduced. This is why our castle can hold on for so long."

"Good solution!" Li Xinyan praised. Compared to his original 766 base, it is obvious that the Liu Keting team has a better way to deal with mechanical beasts.

"This is the first step. These lubricants are oils and will burn when they encounter fire in an emergency. So if it is absolutely necessary, ignite the exterior wall to burn those mechanical beasts is also very lethal. However, this method cannot be used too much, as high temperatures will damage the rock."

Wu Kun asked: "Do you often suffer from attacks from mechanical forces here? I see that there is a thick layer of protective film on those rock bodies."

"Yes!" Liu Keting said, "basically every six or seven days, the mechanical troops will attack. At first, it was once a month, just harassment, and there was no substantial attack. Later, it became once every six or seven days. As the war became increasingly unfavorable to our side, the number of troops touched by the mechanical troops has gradually increased. In the past, the most recent attacks, there were more than 600 mechanical beasts!"

"But the previous attacks did not cause serious casualties to our personnel. Only during this supply process, the Mechanical Beast Army unexpectedly came to ambush. The time and location were chosen to be extremely unfavorable to our side. It was also my negligence. Alas, it caused serious losses... I personally have issued a review letter to the Group Army Headquarters. As for how the Group Army Headquarters handled, I have been mentally prepared."

"If we calculate the days, the Mechanical Beast Army will have an attack in the past two days?" Yang Botao asked.

"Yes!" Liu Keting said.

"It's not that the Mechanical Beast Force has arrived in the past two days." Li Xinyan said with a frown.
