"General, the Japanese have retreated." In the command center, Li Rufeng jogged in and shouted excitedly when he saw Yang Xin.
At the same time, the other people in the command center also showed excited expressions. Yang Xin also had a smile on his face. It wasn't easy to finally defeat the Japanese.
As for wiping out the Japanese, it would be too difficult. Without equal numbers, it would be difficult to wipe out an entire division. However, if they fought again, they would definitely be able to wipe out the 9th division. This time, they would let them go.
"Hahaha, well done. The victory over the Japanese army this time is all thanks to your bravery.”Yang Xin saluted everyone present.
"It's all because of the wise commander's command."
"Without you, how could the General have won this battle?”
For a moment, the command post was filled with all kinds of humble voices. Yang Xin only smiled at this. After a while, he coughed lightly and said loudly,"Order, all regiments immediately follow the tank battalion and pursue the Japanese. Remember not to advance rashly.”
He was worried that some of the teams would be greedy and advance rashly, and would be surrounded by the Japanese. Therefore, the best way was to advance together and push horizontally. Even if the Japanese wanted to counterattack, they would have nowhere to start.
It had to be said that when Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke heard that the Chinese army was chasing after him, he was really prepared to launch a counterattack to atone for his sins.
However, the other party's advance made him helpless. After letting out a long sigh, he ordered his troops to retreat faster.
Fortunately, Yang Xin's troops didn't advance too deep. When the tank battalion ran out of fuel, the pursuit stopped. When they counted their gains, the various regiments were excited.
"Commander, this time, we have wiped out more than 16,000 Japanese soldiers, seized more than 7,000 rifles, more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, and countless ammunition.”Zhao Menghai, who was temporarily acting as an advisor, handed a list to Yang Xin and said excitedly.
Hearing this, Yang Xin wasn't too excited. This result was within his expectations, because the previous two regiments had destroyed two regiments, adding up to more than 6,000 people.
In order to win this war, Yang Xin's factories were operating at full capacity, and there were tens of thousands of people working for them.
Every day, a steady stream of resources was sent from the mines to the factories, and then turned into weapons and ammunition to support the front line.
Moreover, the merchants who had spread out to various places were also constantly purchasing ores and putting them into factories. All of this was to win this war.
Now that he had finally won, Yang Xin felt a little relieved, but his mood was also a lot heavier, because he knew that the next step would be to report the casualties on his side.
"What about our casualties?" Yang Xin asked in a hoarse voice.
"Our army lost a total of 3,600 men, 1,700 were lightly injured, and 500 were heavily injured. In addition, 200 light and heavy machine guns were damaged, and over 100 cannons of various calibers were lost.”As the numbers continued to be read out, Zhao Menghai, who was originally excited, gradually became sorrowful.
In total, there were close to 6,000 casualties, which was equivalent to six regiments being switched out. In addition, the amount of weapons and ammunition consumed was an astronomical figure.
Of course, without countless consumption, it was basically impossible to win this battle.
After a long time, Yang Xin sighed and said solemnly,""Keep the bodies of all the fallen soldiers. I will build a cemetery for martyrs and bury them all.”
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Menghai nodded.
"In addition, all the injured must be rescued with all their might. Don't let another person die.”
"Understood!"
"Alright, don't be so sad. At least we defeated the powerful Japanese army. This is a typical battle where the weak defeated the strong, and you will become heroes that everyone knows.”Looking at the solemn atmosphere in the command center, Yang Xin suddenly smiled and said.
Although everyone had a smile on their faces, it was a forced smile. Yang Xin did not force it because he was also heartbroken.
The massive amount of ammunition had been accumulated with countless resources. He wondered how many rewards the system would give him this time and whether it would be enough to compensate for this loss.
"I don't have money again. It's too difficult for me." Looking at the finances that had already collapsed, Yang Xin rubbed his head in pain. The next step was to work hard to develop the industry and increase their strength. Next time, they would definitely wipe out the 9th division.
However, with the Japanese's personality, they would definitely take revenge after suffering such a huge loss. Therefore, he did not have much time left. At most, in two or three months, the next war would erupt.
Before that, he needed to strengthen himself so that he could have more confidence to fight the Japanese.
