The complete loss of the artillery made Gao Yang postpone his plan to withdraw from the northwest border.
The reason for staying was both for revenge and not for revenge; it depends on how you understand the concept of revenge.
To kill the pilots who dropped the bombs, or to kill the commanders who ordered the planes to take off for the sake of the dead artillerymen, such things Gao Yang would not think of, because this is not a conspiracy, nor a fight between two mercenary groups. This is a war between two countries, and they are just taking advantage of it for their own gain.
In a war between two countries, if someone on your side dies, and then you kill the specific executors on the enemy side to take revenge, such actions are both meaningless and difficult to achieve.
