Crespo said, "The pressure on my side was relatively smaller, with 16,000 dead, over a thousand seriously injured, and just over 90,000 with minor injuries."
Cruz said, "On my side, there were 25,000 dead, more than 4,000 seriously wounded, and about 170,000 with minor injuries."
Oliveira said, "The casualties on my side were the heaviest, with over 30,000 warriors dead, nearly 9,000 severely wounded, and 140,000 with minor injuries."
After the four deputy commanders reported the casualties, their boiling blood also calmed down successively. As they exchanged looks, their expressions grew more somber—none had anticipated the total number of casualties from this battle would be so colossal.
The dead and seriously injured together had already approached a hundred thousand.
That was a hundred thousand lives!
