    Those extremely heavy casualties were just numbers casually mentioned by the staff when reporting on the battle situation.

    Guderian, who was beside him, caught the emotion on his face.

    So, the German general stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder and said, "Perhaps you can go to the rear and take a rest. After all, you are your own soldier. Seeing such heavy casualties may affect your decision-making.  "

    But Meijiro Xiangzu waved his hand and said: "No, I don't need to. I must know how my soldiers died, and I must also know how they used such deaths in exchange for a glorious victory."

    Seeing Yoshijiro Kozu¡¯s insistence, Guderian didn¡¯t say much. He just pursed his lips and said after a while: ¡°I remembered the corpses and burning tanks all over the mountains and plains on the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

    That was also in the spring, when the Soviet counterattack began. After the long winter, our soldiers were frozen to death and suffered frostbite. Facing the fierce Soviet counterattack, we had no way to parry.

    So So, I can understand your mood.  "

    "It seems that you are no longer as arrogant as before."

    ??Xiangzu Meijiro said.

    "No, I am still so arrogant, but my attitude towards you is changing, because I find you are more admirable than I thought."

    Guderian was not stingy in his praise of Yoshijiro Kozu.

    If nothing else, at least this commander has done everything he should do on the battlefield in the Far East.

    He is a fully qualified commander and a friend very worthy of Guderian's friendship.

    "Xiangzu Meijiro did not speak, but picked up the telescope again and looked at the tragic battlefield where blood and flesh were everywhere, and at the Japanese soldiers who fell one after another.

    At this time, in the dense craters in front, the Japanese soldiers hiding, using grenade launchers, rifles, machine guns and other weapons, gradually gained a foothold.

    At the same time, some infantrymen began to make a short-distance advance, approaching the enemy's defensive position little by little.

    But just when Meijiro Xiangzu thought he was finally making some progress, those craters suddenly began to burn.

    ¡°Nalotal bombs!!¡±

    ??Xiangzu Yoshijiro immediately realized the problem. He put down the telescope and turned around, not daring to look at that scene again. Those Japanese soldiers were struggling crazily in the sea of ????fire, but inevitably died.

    The Japanese soldiers hiding in the bomb craters, their whole bodies burned by napalm bombs, were like living people, rolling around crazily in the rain and on the extremely muddy land, trying to remove the wounds from their bodies.  The flame goes out.

    But the napalm bombs fired from the mortars left them no room to hide.

    More and more Japanese soldiers were turned into burning men and finally corpses under the intensive firing of napalm bombs.

    Their originally stable position suddenly fell into chaos.

    Seeing how effective napalm bombs were, the mortar troops immediately began firing large quantities of napalm bombs.

    Some soldiers rolled barrels of gasoline down the hillside, and then the soldiers detonated it in the middle.

    "Boom!"

    Loud noises kept coming, tearing the Japanese soldiers' whines and roars to pieces.

    Guderian looked at this scene expressionlessly, knowing that their attack would end in failure again.

    "It's really damned. Order the troops to retreat temporarily."

    Guderian said with some regret.

    It was within Guderian's expectation that the two highlands could not be attacked directly.

    He also guessed that the enemy might continue to hold on for a while, relying on the advantages of terrain and firepower during this period.

    However, such a large-scale attack had almost no effect, and he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

    ¡°But it¡¯s useless to be disappointed. This battle has only just begun.

    The next battle will only be more cruel than now.

    The spring rain gradually stopped, but the dark clouds were still hanging above their heads, like a huge ceiling falling at any time.

    Looking at the corpse at the foot of the mountain, Luo Xinghe didn't have any joy on his face.

    Behind him, soldiers were carrying corpses in the trench.

    Those are the soldiers of the Fourth Army who died heroically under the fierce attack of the Japanese army.

    In the ditch, the spring breezeThe water and the blood of the martyrs merged together, making the entire trench extremely muddy.

    But there is no doubt that this land that has been nourished by the blood of martyrs will surely bloom with the brightest flowers.

    "Master, the military commander sent a telegram asking us for the number of casualties. Also, we need any help."

    His staff officer ran over and asked.

    Luo Xinghe said: "As for the number of casualties, after the statistics are compiled, just report them truthfully.

    As for help, tell the military commander that we don¡¯t need any help. We just hope that the counterattack will start as soon as possible. We will also follow the main force and kill the Japanese without leaving a single piece of armor behind.  "

    "yes!!!"

    His staff officer shouted loudly and immediately reported to the military headquarters.

    More than half an hour later, the number of casualties came out.

    In this round of Japanese attack, 502 of them were killed and 711 wounded, including 121 seriously wounded.

    As for the lightly wounded, many of them expressed their intention to continue participating in the frontal battle after being simply bandaged.

    Luo Xinghe didn't say much. He just saluted the soldiers who were injured and asked to fight with an extremely solemn military salute.

    Compared with the losses of the Fourth Army, the losses of the Japanese army were obviously greater.

    Only seven of their transport ships on the sea were sunk by bombers of the Fourth Army, and three more were unable to move and could only float on the sea waiting for rescue.

    "Compared to rescue, these three transport ships anchored on the sea, unable to move, are most likely to wait for the bomber formation of the Fourth Army.

    As for the remaining transport ships, they fled directly and ran towards Dalian Port.

    The Japanese army lost thousands of tons of various supplies on the sea alone. In addition, hundreds of Japanese sailors and hundreds of anti-aircraft artillerymen were also killed in this bombing.

    As for the Japanese ground troops, the losses were even more severe.

    During the attack, which lasted only about two hours, more than 2,500 of their soldiers were killed and more than 3,000 were injured.

    In addition, more than 300 people are missing.

    ???????????? The so-called disappearance actually means that the person was listed as a missing person after being bombed and his body could not be found.

    In one battle, more than 5,000 people were killed or injured. For the Japanese army, it was considered a heavy casualty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
