"Report, the enemy is retreating."
"I saw it. Damn, who says robots are all stubborn? What the hell can a stubborn person do?"
Han Qinhu cursed angrily.
Yes, after discovering that a brief assault could not rescue the soldiers who had been captured alive by the criminal battalion, the war robots on the front line simply gave the order to retreat.
No matter whether the robots were still fighting with the soldiers of the Criminal Barracks or launching rescue attacks, they all quickly broke free from the entanglement and retreated without looking back - they didn't even think about rescuing their comrades who had just been tied up with chains.
Okay, that's very robotic.
"General Han, joint meeting military orders!"
"read!"
"The Criminal Battalion will construct fortifications on the spot to prevent enemy counterattacks. Half of the captured enemy troops will be dispersed and deployed on the battlefield to prevent long-range enemy attacks, and the remainder will be evacuated. The Engineer Battalion has moved forward to construct communication trenches connecting the ridge fortifications and the front line. This order!"
"Yes, sir!"
Han Qinhu replied concisely.
In any case, it is easier to build fortifications on the spot for defense than to charge at the enemy's machine gun position.
Moreover, the Criminal Battalion with more than 10,000 people should actually be called the Criminal Division in a strict sense, but everyone is used to calling it the Criminal Battalion. Now the casualties are very serious, especially the First Regiment, which has been basically wiped out. Less than one-third of the people in the Second Regiment are left. The Third Regiment is slightly better, with a reduction of about one-quarter of its personnel. Only the Fourth and Fifth Regiments basically maintain full staffing.
"Send the Fourth Regiment forward; they'll be the primary defenders later. Have the Fifth Regiment work with the First through Third Regiments to begin constructing fortifications. Prioritize evacuating prisoners and wounded. If there's no time to evacuate the fallen, cremate them on the spot. We can't let them fall into enemy hands. I'll have some more incendiary bombs sent up from the rear."
As a veteran, Han Qinhu knows what to do now.
"Also, have some food brought up from the back. We've been fighting all morning. How can we have the energy to dig if we don't eat something?"
In the back, everyone in the alliance, except Lin Hai, finally saw with their own eyes what the legendary robot looked like.
"So, this is a robot?"
Xia Junao pointed at the war robot in the three-layer iron cage and said.
There is an obvious dent on the head of this robot, and the armor on its body has been deformed in many places, but unfortunately, it does not show any penetration and looks quite strong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a robot, a small leader among robots, the kind called a war robot."
Duke Longqiu of Yan replied with a serious face.
From now on, it seems that this robot has been fighting continuously for more than half a day. The soldiers under his command are so tired that they want to fall asleep on the spot, but this robot is still full of energy. Before being put into the cage, it has been struggling non-stop. It even broke two of the iron chains that bound it, which were as thick as fingers. This is something that no human can do.
In order to control such a robot, at least ten strong human soldiers had to be dispatched, and a large number of iron chains forged from fine steel had to be used to barely make it work.
But fortunately, as long as they are put into iron cages, especially three-layer iron cages, they will become quiet immediately.
"Principal, it seems that if we don't interfere, we'll need at least three layers of shielding cages to disrupt the wireless communication between the enemy headquarters and the soldiers."
He Chun said from the side.
"Since we still have more testing to do, could you please assign us a few robots...Everyone at the research institute is ready."
"Your Majesty Lin Hai!"
Before Lin Hai could say anything, Duke Longqiu of Yan quickly stepped out and said:
"Technical research can be put on hold. After all, even if we develop something, it won't be immediately usable. However, some of our tests are very urgent. You see, after fighting for so long, we haven't even penetrated their armor. This has caused great difficulties in our operations, so we need to carefully study how to kill them."
Lin Hai looked at He Chun, whose face was full of anticipation, and Long Qiu, who looked serious, and couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, no matter how you look at it, this morning's battle didn't seem like a loss, so everyone's energy and spirit were back. At least even Long Qiu was willing to swallow his pride and compete with He Chun for things. Well, that was a good sign.
"Don't worry, you all have a share of the hundreds of prisoners."
Lin Hai nodded at Xia Junao, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
Everyone looked relaxed.
Soon, the news that the enemy's attack had been stopped at the front began to spread, and without any official intervention, it automatically fermented into:
The battle was won at the front and the robot army was repelled!
A great victory! Our army killed thousands of enemies and captured hundreds!
Shocking! This is what the supposedly invincible robot soldier looks like.
Surprise! The enemy army is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and General Han breaks through the enemy's formation.
Unprecedented victory! The Alliance defeated the main force of the Abyss Army, and a breakthrough to the tower is just around the corner.
......
After seeing everyone off, the faces of the heads of state and senior military officers were not as good as everyone had imagined.
"Thanks to Duke Yan just now, the news of our great victory must have spread by now."
Lin Hai decided to start by easing the atmosphere.
"Your Majesty Lin Hai, thank you for your kind words. This is what an old minister should do. Besides, that little girl named He Chun was right. If time wasn't urgent, these robots should be given to her for research."
Long Qiu expressed his most polite gratitude for Lin Hai's praise.
