After collecting all the spoils of war and handing over all the bullets, grenades, and mortar shells left behind in the corpses of the island soldiers to the regiment headquarters for safekeeping, the 369th regiment withdrew from the valley, leaving more than a thousand corpses of the island soldiers to continue being exposed to the wind and the sun.
This was what they deserved.
After thinking about it, Gu Xun finally decided to bring the crooked boss and Type 92 of the island army and let the logistics team carry them.
Although the 369th Regiment did not care about these things that could only make the logistics personnel feel anxious, to the other Chinese troops, they were all treasures.
Especially in the northwest of Shanxi, where battles were ongoing, the Chinese army was desperate for heavy firepower.
When they walked out of the valley, some of the excited soldiers of the 369th Regiment even hummed a folk song from their hometown. Gu Xun only laughed it off when he heard it.
Two days after the battle ended, the 369th Regiment, which continued to move northwest, finally met their first friendly army since the transfer.
An ally that was in the middle of an intense battle.
A county brigade was engaged in a fierce battle with a squad of the island army.
That's right, a county brigade with more than 200 people couldn't take down an island army infantry squad with only 13 people…
Since the main weapons of this county brigade were red-tasseled guns and machetes, and even the rifles were only in single digits, it was understandable that they were in a stalemate.
However, this scale seemed like a small battle in the eyes of the 369th Regiment. Without asking Gu Xun, a company commander of the 3rd Battalion could make his own decision and send two grenade launchers to support them.
Two squads of soldiers from the 369th Regiment arrived with their weapons and equipment, immediately causing a wave of cheers in the county brigade.
The equipment of China's regular army was generally not much better than that of the local troops. Only the frontline troops would be torn apart to replenish their equipment.
At the end of the military power of the country in northwestern Shanxi, there was no need to count on support from the southwest rear. They could either rely on capture or self-reliance to build things in the border area.
Even though the soldiers of the county unit didn't recognize the names of the weapons and equipment brought by the 369th Regiment, from the neat appearance of the 369th Regiment and the magazines and grenades on their waists, everyone knew that they were the elites of the Chinese army.
After fighting for a long time, they finally received support from the regular army. How could these county brigade members, who had been farming at home not long ago, not be excited?
Under the curious gazes of the county brigade members, the two grenade launchers of the 369th regiment skillfully set up the cannon, measured the distance, and cleanly used six mortar shells to blow up the island army infantry squad that had been defending.
The 369th Regiment, which was in urgent need of understanding the local situation, needed the local armed forces like the county brigade to obtain some information.
Under the instruction of the company commander, several leaders of the county brigade were brought to the company headquarters by the soldiers who came to support them.
An hour later, Gu Xun of the regiment headquarters held the telegram sent by the company headquarters below with a thoughtful look on his face.
"They are a county brigade, but they took the initiative to join the battle to support the few regiments that are fighting fiercely with the island army at the front line. They delayed the island army's support, and there are many local armed forces like them?”
Chief of Staff Liu Rui shook his head helplessly."
" But a county brigade with more than 200 people can't even take down an island army squad in a few hours. This is really…"
"Forget it. They can't even gather decent equipment. It's already commendable that they took the initiative to participate in the battle.”
Gu Xun nodded in agreement.
Even a county unit could take the initiative to join the battle and delay the island army's reinforcements when the regular army was in a fierce battle. Even if they had red tasseled spears and machetes, they would still dare to fight to the death against the island army's bullets. If all the armies in China had such courage and courage, what was there to worry about?
"They also provided some important information. Come and take a look.”
Gu Xun waved his hand, signaling the other officers to look at the map with him.
Pointing at a point on the map, Gu Xun said,"
"According to the county brigade, at the front line between Wucheng Town and Fenyang, our Chinese army has gathered at least five regiments of troops and is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the island army.”
"According to the information they have, the island army has gathered at least two regiments and intends to take down the five regiments in one fell swoop to completely open the passage to the northwest of Shanxi!”
When the officers of the regiment headquarters heard the news that the island army had gathered two regiments, their faces could not help but turn solemn.
The island army had about 3800 people, which was not inferior to the five Chinese regiments, not to mention the huge difference in combat strength between the island army and the Chinese army.
These five regiments were in danger!
"But there's more important news!”Gu Xun tapped the map with his fingertips.
"Even though the county unit doesn't have access to high-level information, there were people from the Chinese army who contacted them before, hoping that they could help delay the island army's reinforcements.”
Suppressing the excitement in his voice, Gu Xun said in a deep voice,"
"It seems that the Huaxia troops in the northwestern part of Shanxi are also planning to fight with all their might. The news revealed that if the situation goes well, they intend to cripple at least these two regiments!”
