Gu Xun nodded slightly, agreeing with Sun Biao's statement. He then threw out another question,
"We can't take down such a traffic point in half a day, but the Japanese will definitely be able to send reinforcements in half a day. The entire regiment can't take such a risk.”
Looking at Sun Biao, who had already realized the problem with his plan and was in a state of silence, Gu Xun picked up the stone on the map and pressed it to the northwest.
"The places that are suitable for us to show off are places outside of the city where the traffic is inconvenient and the situation is chaotic! Taking advantage of the chaotic battle in the northwest direction, it won't be difficult to escape. While limiting the Japanese's ability, we can also make use of our mobility advantage!”
With Gu Xun's final word, the discussion about the 369th Regiment's next route was completely over.
The entire group adjusted their direction and headed straight for Luliang in the northwest of Shanxi.
With the great convenience of the mobile radio being distributed to the company level, even if the 369th Regiment had contact with Xiao Gu's island army along the way, they would leave immediately. Their movements were extremely flexible and did not expose their scale at all. At the same time, they did not give the island army the opportunity to mobilize a large force to chase and intercept.
Of course, the more important reason was that the Chinese army and the island army had shown their respective abilities after the war started. They kept tearing apart the island army's blockade, making the island army's initial deployment of troops even more difficult. No one would mobilize a large number of troops that had already been deployed at various important nodes for the sake of the 369th Regiment, which had an unknown scale.
Five days later, all the troops of the 369th Regiment successfully entered the northwestern region of Shanxi. Their losses were minimal, and they still retained their full combat strength.
"Guild Leader, we are now completely in the northwest of Shanxi. We have finally found a way out.”
Chief of Staff Liu Rui looked at the nearby mountains with some emotion. Since the 369th Regiment had been transferred, they had been marching quickly on remote roads at night. It was almost normal to walk on mountain roads.
Walk the main road? It was impossible. The island army had heavily guarded all the important traffic nodes in the main battle zone. Gu Xun was not stupid. He would not send the 369th Regiment to fight the island army head-on in those places.
"We still have to have a clear understanding of the current situation and not be blindly optimistic.”
Gu Xun took off his military cap. The scorching summer sun made him sweat profusely. He could only use his cap to fan himself to relieve the irritating heat.
Gu Xun did not have any extra weight to carry, so he could still feel the heat, let alone the ordinary soldiers of the 369th Regiment.
But even so, it was nothing compared to the days when they worked hard for a year and could not even fill their stomachs in the end. Every time the devils swept into the village, their lives would be in danger.
Farming at home could not escape the scorching sun, and at least the 369th Regiment was not stingy with supplies.
The hardworking spirit of the Chinese soldiers was vividly displayed in front of Gu Xun. Looking at these soldiers who had sweat all over their uniforms but still did not complain, Gu Xun felt more confident about the future.
As long as the higher-ups of the army performed normally, Gu Xun had no doubt that with the quality of the Chinese soldiers, even if they were slightly inferior in terms of technical standards, they could still defeat the enemy.
As for the current war, the difference in industrial strength between the two sides was too great. China had little advantage other than the number of troops.
After thinking for a while, Gu Xun continued,"
"When we encountered a small group of enemies before, we were able to avoid them because most of the island army's forces were either pinned down on the main roads or entangled by our allies.”
"But now that we've entered the northwestern part of Shanxi, we're facing enemies everywhere. We'll run into the main force of the island army no matter what.”
" At the right time and place, it is necessary to fight a tough battle with the devils and seize a base where we can settle down. Only then can we continue to recruit soldiers and develop ourselves in northwestern Shanxi!”
If it weren't for the fact that they needed to recruit more soldiers, there was no need for the 369th Regiment to head north to Northwest Shanxi and take the initiative to enter the island army's blockade line. This was the focus of the island army's sweep and the area where the battle was the most intense!
Southwest Shanxi was slightly less intense, and there were quite a few allies, but it was impossible for the 369th Regiment to continue expanding like a snowball.
While they were talking, a signalman ran over and stood in front of Gu Xun."
"Regiment commander, the vanguard reconnaissance unit has discovered a small group of island troops. The number of people is about a large group, and they are equipped with armored vehicles. They are advancing towards our direction. From the surrounding traffic situation, it is very likely that they will pass through the mountain roads or search the mountains.”
"A brigade?"
Gu Xun looked at the surrounding mountains and thought for a moment before ordering,"
"The troops at the front stop advancing. After the rear enters the mountain area, quickly occupy the surrounding high ground and prepare to set up an ambush!”
"Try your best to let the island army enter the mountain road before firing. If the island army discovers anything unusual, the front troops must immediately blow up the island army's vehicles and block their retreat! As for the island troops who had already entered the mountain path, they would be handed over to the rear troops to deal with! They had to ensure that not even a single island soldier escaped!”
