Japanese Japs Sato waved his hands and fled in a swaggering way, braving the artillery fire.
return?
Nonsense, right?
What are you doing back?
To die?
Imperial Code: There is no need to take risks for some insignificant people.
In the eyes of the leader of the Japanese division, Esaki Sanae, Sato-kun, whom he was thinking about deeply, gradually disappeared from sight.
Everything was silent.
…
Round after round of indiscriminate artillery fire, the number of remaining 7,000 Japanese soldiers is still decreasing sharply...
When the artillery fire stopped, the casualties were halved again...
"Bros!"
"Charge with me!"
"Kill the devil!"
The commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Cyclops, seized the opportunity and, after the artillery fire stopped, launched a final desperate sweep against the Japanese!
It would be good to kill one more Japanese.
To fight against the Japanese is to drive them all to death.
This was the order given to them by the commander from the beginning.
Kill as many as you can!
A round of killing and retaking the first line of defense.
Kill another group of devils in an instant.
Tens of thousands of Japanese invaders came in force, and only two thousand of them managed to escape down Black Cloud Mountain.
Most of it was lost!
If they were not afraid of going too deep and easily encountering reinforcements from the Japanese 41st Division, the two thousand Japanese who fled could actually be swallowed up in one bite.
But for now...it's better to play it safe!
Clean the battlefield quickly.
The remaining two thousand defeated soldiers of the Japanese 40th Division were now retreating more than ten miles away from the Black Cloud Mountain, daring not to come any closer.
Use this time to clean the battlefield, collect weapons, count enemy and friendly casualties, and deploy a new round of combat plans.
"Commander, we...we killed a Japanese division!"
"The mountains and plains are filled with corpses of Japanese soldiers!"
"At least 90% of the 20,000 Japs in the 40th Japanese Division were killed!"
"commander……"
As Zhou Weiguo spoke, his face turned slightly red, and his excitement gradually surged.
Zhou Weiguo has always had a stable character, but looking at the battle report he received now, he seemed a little... unbelievable.
"A Japs division..."
"What does this mean?"
"It's just a Class B division."
"The Japanese have more than a hundred divisions on our land in Xia."
"Where is this?"
"The pattern opens."
"When can we annihilate ten Japanese divisions at once, then we can make the Japanese feel the pain of having their fingers cut off..."
"As for now, a mere division... to the Japanese, it might just be a scratch and some blood."
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, his pupils sparkling with passion!
just began!
just started.
"Commander, the detailed battle report is out..."
Wu Anguo walked over, cleared his throat, and immediately began to report.
"Commander, the total number of Japanese casualties is about 18,000..."
"Our army...our army suffered about...about two thousand casualties..."
Having said this, Wu Anguo's teeth couldn't help but tremble.
Fang Yu looked solemn...
I can't help but clench my fists...
These two thousand people only count the number of soldiers who were killed or seriously injured and had to leave the battle order.
As for the soldiers who have suffered some minor injuries that will not affect the subsequent battle, they will basically not be counted.
Our two thousand casualties compared with the enemy's eighteen thousand casualties...
One to nine...
In fact, this ratio could have continued to expand, reaching one to ten, one to eleven or even greater...
But when the Japanese bomber squadron attacked, the bombs dropped from the air caused too many casualties.
The entire artillery reinforcement battalion suffered one-third direct casualties of 1,300 people, four to five hundred soldiers were killed or seriously injured, and more than one-third of the artillery was destroyed and can no longer be used for the time being...
If there were no Japanese bomber squadron this time, the artillery reinforcement battalion would not have suffered such casualties. On the other hand, the artillery reinforcement battalion would also be able to carry out unlimited bombardment and strikes against the group of Japs without stopping. In this way, the frontal battlefield
Casualties can also be reduced accordingly.
The idea of gaining control of the air and continuing to develop the Xulong Squadron echoed crazily in Fang Yu's mind.
"People from each battalion and company are here. Let's talk about their respective casualties and major equipment losses."
Fang Yu held his forehead and asked immediately.
He needs to coordinate the overall situation and have a detailed understanding of each unit.
More than 5,000 combat troops suffered 2,000 casualties, more than one-third of the casualties...
"Commander, our infantry battalion has suffered more than 200 casualties, and there are 246 soldiers left!"
"Commander, our Second Infantry Battalion has suffered more than 180 casualties, and there are 290 soldiers left..."
"Commander, our third infantry battalion has suffered more than 190 casualties, and there are 270 soldiers left..."
"Commander, our Second Infantry Battalion has suffered more than 170 casualties, and there are 300 soldiers left..."
"Commander, our cavalry battalion has suffered 200 casualties, and there are 200 soldiers left..."
"Commander, our tank reinforcement company has suffered 70 casualties, and there are 174 soldiers left. Two Type 95 ultra-light tanks have been lost, and three 38t light tanks have been lost!"
"Commander, our machine gun reinforced battalion has a total of 500 casualties and 800 soldiers. We have lost more than 40 Maxim machine guns and more than 100 Czech light machine guns..."
"Commander, our artillery reinforcement battalion has 539 casualties! There are 761 soldiers left. About one-third of the artillery has been damaged. Two 105mm Skoda heavy cannons have been scrapped. Seven 88mm anti-aircraft guns have been scrapped. The Type 41 75mm mountain gun has been scrapped.
One was scrapped, two 37mm anti-tank guns were scrapped, four 90mm Type 94 mortars were scrapped, and 10 70mm Type 92 infantry guns were scrapped!"
"The existing artillery in the artillery reinforcement camp: 8 105mm Skoda heavy guns, 13 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 3 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, 6 37mm anti-tank guns, 6 90mm Type 94 mortars, 17 70mm Type 92 infantry guns
Door!"
The artillery reinforcement battalion also reported the specific losses...
An entire Japanese division was destroyed.
The trend is very cool.
It boosted morale.
However, two thousand soldiers were injured and killed, and more than one-third of the artillery in the artillery reinforcement battalion was bombed...
"Those 10 m101 105mm howitzers are now officially equipped with the artillery reinforcement battalion."
"The 10 m101 105mm howitzers are now on the 301 hill. Pillar, go back and receive them."
"Because we are still under a blockade by the Japanese. According to intelligence, the Japanese 41st Division will arrive at our Black Cloud Village soon."
"So the battle is far from over..."
"So for the time being, your battalions and companies are unable to receive additional personnel."
"Do you have the confidence to kill another Japanese division?"
Fang Yu clenched his fists and spoke with murderous intent!
