    In addition to these, some troops chasing in the periphery have not yet reported the number of Japanese soldiers killed. If all were reported, they would have killed at least more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers in this battle.

    And in this battle, Xia Yang and the others basically had no prisoners. As for the wounded Japanese soldiers, although they had lost their ability to resist, Xia Yang would not use precious medicines and medical resources for these wounded Japanese soldiers.

    Therefore, Xia Yang¡¯s orders were not even needed to capture the troops from the Japanese wounded camp and then directly eliminate all the Japanese wounded soldiers.

    "Order the troops to clean the battlefield as quickly as possible, and then start the next strategy." Xia Yang said.

    Xiao Yuebing immediately said loudly: "Yes, Master." Then, he began to convey the issued order to each unit.

    Their troops simply swept the battlefield around three o'clock in the afternoon.  They didn't have time to transport a lot of the Japanese army's equipment.

    After all, in the continuous battles, they seized too many supplies. Even the warehouse in the fortress behind them was full. They could only put them on the square outside and build a simple  The shed is used to prevent heavy rains from rusting the equipment.

    The Japanese cavalry regiment, galloping through the starry night, finally approached the battlefield here.

    They were already marching in a hurry, and even the horses under some soldiers were exhausted to death.  But even so, they only arrived late to the main battlefield after Xia Yang and the others had retreated.

    They received the last telegram from the 5th Tank Brigade, which was sent by Sato Yanagawa before deciding to break out.

    "Our army is no longer able to withstand the enemy's frontal attack and is retreating at this time. We hope that the cavalry units of the 36th Division and the 34th Division can arrive in advance to provide some support."

    Since then, the radio station of the Fifth Tank Brigade has been silent, and no more information has been sent.

    The captain of the cavalry regiment, Iijima, had a very bad premonition, that is, the entire fifth brigade had been completely annihilated, or it might have been so hard that even a radio station could not be saved.

    At this time, the cavalry scouting the front rushed over and shouted to Iijima: "Your Excellency, the Commander, Your Excellency, the Commander! Ahead! There is a situation ahead!"

    "Is it the enemy?" Iijima asked loudly.

    Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, they had to raise their voices to hear each other's voices.

    "Noit's not the enemy. You can see it when you go there!" the Japanese soldier said, with a slightly panicked look in his eyes.

    At this time, Iijima realized that maybe things were developing towards the worst outcome.

    He galloped on his horse, crossed a hillside, and saw the hell-like battlefield below the hillside.

    On the endless flat grassland, there are corpses of Japanese soldiers, destroyed tanks and armored vehicles everywhere.

    Some of the corpses were piled together, while others were scattered across the field.  Many of these people were wounded who had lost the ability to resist, and were gathered together and shot with machine guns.  Others were hacked to death by cavalry troops with sabers, and some were crushed to pieces by tanks and armored vehicles, with their bodies stuck in the mud.

    This was the first time Iijima had seen such a scene, and some of the soldiers around him had even begun to vomit.  Because this was the hottest month of the year, many of the broken corpses of Japanese soldiers had begun to stink.  The rancid smell soaring into the sky, people will naturally feel vomiting if they smell it.

    What¡¯s more, the Shura field-like scene in front of them was something that these Japanese soldiers who lacked actual combat experience had never seen before.

    Although they are well-trained and well-equipped, they are still far behind the Chinese dispatched troops who have been fighting in the pass for a long time.  That's why I couldn't bear to vomit after seeing such a scene.

    Iijima suppressed the urge to vomit and rode his horse through the battlefield filled with corpses.

    From here to the end of the horizon, Japanese corpses are everywhere.  The originally green grassland here has been dyed dark red by blood, and burned black by the high temperature generated by artillery fire.

    "Clean up all the corpses! Quick!" Iijima shouted, with angry tears in his eyes.

    At the beginning, they thought that even if the fifth brigade was attacked by a powerful enemy, there should be no problem in sustaining it for three or four days.  But Iijima didn't expect that in just one day and one night, this battle would be over.Finished.

    The result of the end of the battle is very simple. The entire fifth brigade no longer exists.  This armored force of more than 7,000 people had been completely eliminated from the Japanese army's combat organization by Xia Yang in more than 20 hours.

    Of course, although Xia Yang's speed of annihilating enemies is a bit exaggerated in this era, it will be nothing in future generations.

    ¡°After all, the Americans had the ability to annihilate 100,000 Iraqi troops in forty-eight hours during the Iraq War.  That was truly a perfect display of the astonishing destructive power produced by the operation of the terrifying war machine.

    They continued the work of cleaning up the corpses until the evening, but they still did not completely clear out the corpses on the battlefield.

    Those thousands of soldiers in the cavalry regiment have not experienced any battle, and their bodies are already covered with the blood of their comrades.

    Many of them were vomiting non-stop, because no one could bear the soaring rancid smell.

    At this moment, they began to realize that when they were transferred here by the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army to encircle Xia Yang and his troops, they still had a little contempt in their hearts.

    After all, they are the Japanese Kwantung Army, the most elite "Flower of the Imperial Army" of Japan, so they don't think there is any big problem with the Fifth Brigade's underestimating the enemy and advancing alone.

    The biggest problem is that when the enemy is besieging the fifth brigade, they can support them and launch a counterattack against the enemy.

    When they left Hylar City, they were thinking that it would take about a month to clean out all the little rats that had sneaked into the Hylar area.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
