Afterward, Li Qinwu's tank force coordinated with the infantry and pushed forward to the trenches and foxholes dug by the Orks, wiping out all the Ork infantry inside with tank shells and grenades.
When the battle ended, an even larger battlefield fell under Li Qinwu's control, allowing his Tech-Priests to conduct salvage operations with ease.

Tank cannons, Boltguns, Logging Guns, as well as engines and transmissions—anything usable was removed.
A human tank regiment had at least around a hundred tanks and armored vehicles. There had been two tank regiments fighting the Orks here.
After an on-site assessment, at least 30 percent of the tanks and armored vehicles were worth salvaging. Adding the usable parts recovered and the tanks and armored vehicles he already had on hand, he could at least cobble together a tank regiment!
If he spent some more time recruiting skilled drivers, Li Qinwu would have a Power Armor infantry regiment, a graduate officer regiment, and a heavy tank regiment under his command.

But after entering space and traveling across so many worlds, he had assembled such a terrifying armed force in less than a year.
Once he gathered a little more strength in the future, found an opportunity
