As long as Regiment 369's guns were still firing, no one would be able to chase them out of the territory they had occupied.
Li Yunlong dared to deduct the equipment of a battalion, and Gu Xun had the 369th Regiment with tens of thousands of people in his hands. What was wrong with him wanting a base to repair and expand his army?
The 369th Regiment didn't wait too long. As the entire army moved forward cautiously, the scouts at the vanguard finally found some valuable information.
An unknown number of Chinese soldiers were fighting with the island army near the route of Regiment 369. They were probably trying to break out of the encirclement.
Judging from the firepower of both sides, the Chinese military should be a regular army. A conservative estimate was that there should be more than one regiment.
Although the 369th Regiment had been living a luxurious life for more than eight months, they had never forgotten how the situation of the Chinese army was like.
As for why it wasn't the Chinese army surrounding the island army?
Based on common sense, the reinforcements from the rear shouldn't have moved so quickly. The Chinese army that appeared here at this time must have been active in this area for a long time.
"How many people are there in the island army?”
Gu Xun looked at the battle area in front of him on the map and asked the officers around him.
"There should be a large group of them, but the soldiers at the front can't figure out more!”
Gu Xun nodded and asked Liu Rui, the chief of staff,"
"Is it enough to defeat a battalion and rescue the allies in the encirclement?”
Liu Rui's expression was silent as he almost blurted out,"
"Regimental commander, our battalion already has more people than a brigade of the island army, not to mention that we have to work together from the inside and outside.”
Gu Xun put down the map and ordered,"
"Order the 1st Battalion to gather their forces and immediately go to rescue the allies. What was going on in Northwest Jin? He had to ask a reliable person!”
…………
In Sanjiao Ravine, a group of Chinese soldiers in grayish-blue military uniforms who had just rushed out of the island army's encirclement stopped in their tracks and vigilantly observed their surroundings.
In the middle of the crowd, a small warrior ran to the regiment commander breathlessly and used all his remaining strength to report,"
"Regiment commander, one of the companies from the 3rd Battalion didn't manage to make it out. They were intercepted by the island army when they were covering the rear!”
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that. The leader, who had a masculine face and slightly tanned skin, immediately snatched a jeep from the hands of the soldiers beside him and shouted at the soldiers,
"Brothers, ever since the establishment of our new 2nd Regiment, we have never left a single brother behind. Follow me back and save our brothers from the 3rd Battalion!”
The soldiers carrying machine guns, rifles, and even machetes responded in unison. The entire team immediately turned around and prepared to rush back into the Japanese encirclement.
He had only taken a few steps when the guard pulled on his sleeve.
The guard had a stunned expression on his face. He pointed behind him and said with a trembling voice,
"Regiment commander, there are reinforcements. They are our people, our people!”
Reinforcements?
The soldiers were all shocked. The higher-ups had already ordered them to preserve their strength as much as possible while waiting for an opportunity to break out. Who would come to save them in this situation?
Perhaps the higher-ups had other arrangements, and reinforcements were already on the way, but how could the army be reorganized and set off so quickly?
Everyone turned around and saw the Chinese soldiers in their grayish-blue uniforms running towards them with guns!
Cheers immediately erupted from the crowd. With the support of their allies, it was hard to say if the Japanese could continue to surround them, let alone rush back to save their brothers.
Even the troops at the front who were rushing back to the encirclement temporarily stopped. A messenger at the back told them that a large number of reinforcements were gathering with them.
In the crowd, the regiment commander and the other officers were not too affected by the excitement of the reinforcements. What caught their attention was the unique equipment of the reinforcements.
Everyone had their standard helmets and military boots, and almost everyone had a rifle. What was even more frightening was the number of grenade launchers and machine guns. Just within their field of vision, there were more than the entire regiment combined!
The shape of the machine gun was also quite strange. Even with their three years of experience in the northwest battlefield of Shanxi, they had never seen a similar machine gun.
The regiment commander pulled the guard to his side and whispered,"
"Tell the brothers to be careful. I think their clothes are very special. They might be disguised by the Japanese.”
The guard was slightly stunned, but after thinking about what the regiment commander said, he instantly shuddered and a few drops of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
It was ridiculous enough for the Huaxia troops in Jin Province to wear steel helmets and leather boots, but they were also equipped with so many machine guns and grenade launchers…
Even if you claimed to be part of the Chinese army, others would have to think twice before deciding whether to believe you.
The soldiers who received the commander's reminder immediately sobered up. Some of the soldiers raised their muzzles slightly, ready to start a fight at any time if they realized that something was wrong.
Under the watchful eyes of the New 2nd Regiment, the seemingly strange reinforcement finally jogged up to them. A soldier at the front stepped forward and shouted,
"369th Regiment, 1st Battalion, received orders from Regiment Headquarters to support your unit!”
