Lu Guang called Zhang Wanzhong over and said in a deep voice,"Zhang Wanzhong, tabulate the casualties of our army, as well as the spoils and prisoners of war.”
Zhang Wanzhong's mouth was still filled with an unconcealable smile. He said excitedly,"Guang Shuai, our army has won this battle. Thanks to Guang Shuai's wise command, I, Zhang Wanzhong, will leave my life in your hands.”
"I don't care about your life. Keep it well. Hurry up and count it.”As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guang kicked Zhang Wanzhong's leg and scolded him with a smile.
Gazing at this desolate land, there was an indescribable feeling, not the joy of winning a battle.
Wang Sen noticed Lu Guang's serious expression and asked in confusion,"Guang Shuai, our army has just won the battle, why do you look so unhappy?”
"What's there to be happy about?" Lu Guang looked into the distance and said softly. Isn't it the loss of our military strength?”
"This is exactly what the Great Powers are happy to see. Only in this way can they gain benefits from our civil war. It was likely that the wild ambitions of the superpowers would not stop here.”
Wang Sen also fell into deep thought. Although there were some things he didn't understand, he truly admired Lu Guang. Only Lu Guang treated the soldiers as humans and valued their lives.
It was because of this that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were willing to work for Lu Guang.
In fact, what these soldiers wanted was very simple. They wanted to eat a mouthful of food and survive in this chaotic world.
He was determined that no matter what happened, he would follow Lu Guang to the death.
......
Half an hour later, Zhang Wanzhong arrived in front of Lu Guang and said respectfully,"Guang Shuai, the casualties have been calculated.”
"In this battle, our regiment sacrificed 218 people, 178 were seriously injured, and 489 were lightly injured. This includes the casualties from yesterday afternoon's Long En Bridge battle.”
In war, casualties were inevitable. For the Independent Regiment, such casualties were almost negligible.
However, Lu Guang wouldn't erase the fact that his soldiers had died just because of this. In just one battle, he had lost more than 200 people and injured more than 600 people.
Lu Guang said in a deep voice. Although he had said it before, he could express his true feelings now.
"Yes, Guangshuai, I thank Guangshuai on behalf of all my brothers.”Zhang Wanzhong said sincerely and gave a straight military salute. He admired Marshal Guang from the bottom of his heart.
"Wang Sen, pass down the order. Leave the fifth battalion behind to clean up the battlefield. The rest of the troops, along with the heavily injured and the brothers who died, will return to Long En City. Li Changlai had arranged for the laborers to bury and burn the corpses of the Dian Base soldiers. Remember, the laborers must not be paid less.”Lu Guang said in a deep voice. He believed that the water and grass here would definitely be abundant in the coming year.
"Wang Sen, draft the telegram." "Old Marshal, our Independent Regiment fought with the Dian Army yesterday. This morning, we launched a general attack on the enemy's 5th Division and Independent Mixed Brigade to defeat the Dian Army." In this battle, our army sacrificed more than 200 people, injured more than 600 people, and captured more than 2,000 enemies. The seized materials are still being tabulated.”
"Let's do it this way and let the troops rest as soon as possible. After lunch tomorrow, our army will set off for the defensive position at Mount Duyang.”
After that, Lu Guang fell asleep without caring about taking off his military uniform. He was really tired.
He had not let down his guard for nearly a day and a night, and it had consumed a lot of his mental strength.
Lu Guang only gradually woke up after sleeping all the way until evening.
Although his body was still exhausted, the war was imminent and Lu Guang could not relax.
Now, the crisis in Longen City had been resolved, and the other two places were still in the midst of war.
They had to deal with the enemies at Duyang Mountain first. Otherwise, once Duyang Mountain was lost, the Dian Army would be able to charge straight into the city and Nan Ning City would fall under the Dian Army's artillery fire.
Once the crisis at Mount Duyang was resolved, the main force would surround the enemy troops at the Heavenly Treasures Mountain's defensive positions. He could only hope that Vice Commander Sun could hold on for a few more days.
