The puppet army's subsequent performance made Gu Xun feel even more disgusted.
This group of useless puppet soldiers, who even the soldiers of the 369th Regiment doubted their own eyes, actually took off their Huang Xie Army uniform in front of a platoon of soldiers.
Their battalion commander even said that they were forced to pick up their guns because they were threatened by the evil island army. They were not willing to do such a thing. It was Japan that forced them to do so.
In short, they had long since decided to turn over a new leaf and never forgot their identity as Chinese. They had always been spies who had infiltrated the enemy's camp to exert their strength for the country and the people.
Therefore, they had surrendered and hoped that the 369th Regiment would recruit them into the Chinese army and pick up their guns to fight for their country and their people.
When Gu Xun received the telegram, he said on the spot,"F * ck you."
During the War of Resistance, countless Chinese civilians were forced to work as laborers, digging mountains and mining. They suffered a lot and couldn't even keep their lives.
As for being forced to become a puppet army?
This was an insult to Gu Xun's eyes. Since when did the puppet army lack people? Why did they need the island army to threaten them?
It was easy to guess why they had surrendered. They had found out that the Chinese army had regained the initiative on the battlefield, and they wanted to find a new boss. It just so happened that Regiment 369 was the one with the best conditions and the strongest combat strength.
Gu Xun immediately called back and asked the platoon to disarm all the puppet troops and confiscate their supplies. At the same time, he contacted the nearby Chinese allies and asked them to deal with this group of dog-skin plasters.
Since you like to be a mole in the Japanese camp so much, then continue to be one. I hope you can continue to contribute to the country and the nation as you say.
That night, the 369th Regiment passed the regulations that they would never accept anyone who had served in the puppet army to join the army.
…………
As the two regiments withdrew from the battle, the Chinese army gained the upper hand in the battle in the northwestern region of Shanxi. Out of the 25 regiments that had participated in the battle, only seven regiments stayed behind due to heavy casualties. The other 18 regiments were all involved in the battle in other regions.
At the same time, China was still mobilizing the army in the rear, and the local armed forces of Jin Province were also actively involved in the battle, carrying out all kinds of people who did not require combat strength but were very labour-consuming.
All the puppet troops in the northwest of Shanxi were beaten by the Huaxia army until they did not dare to show their faces. Only under the threat of the island army did they have to bite the bullet and fight.
The two military strategists who had already consumed a lot of resources felt that it was more and more difficult to maintain the blockade line. Although the Hua Xia army that was everywhere did not cause any serious damage to the island army, dozens of battles of various sizes broke out in the entire Jin Province every day, which made the island army unable to bear it.
Just in the northwestern region of Jin Province, the regular army of Huaxia had already mobilized more than 150,000 troops, and more than 400,000 people of all sizes in Jin Province had joined the battle.
Gu Xun was not idle either. Regiment 369 continued to carry out the recruitment work in an orderly manner, preparing for the upcoming more intense battle. Liang Xu, who was in charge of the recruitment work, once again found the meaning of life.
Just as the entire Jin Province seemed to be in a good state of war and the whole country was discussing the war in Jin Province, a news from a Chinese army in the southeast of Jin Province made the entire Jin Province nervous.
Gu Xun had gathered most of the officers in the headquarters of Regiment 369. He was holding the news that the neighboring troops had just reported.
He handed the telegram in his hand to Su Liancheng, who read it on behalf of Gu Xun.
"It is believed that the 20th division has already advanced to the northwest of Shanxi at full speed. Although our army has already destroyed some of the communication lines, it is estimated that the 20th division will enter the battle in the northwest of Shanxi in five days.”
Gu Xun smiled and asked,"
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Chief of Staff Liu Rui said solemnly,"
"Regiment Commander, the day has finally come. You are right. Once the war goes south, the island army will really send the Jia division to suppress them.”
The other officers in the regiment headquarters also agreed. The A Division was three times the size of the 369th Regiment. If they were to fill the two vacant regiments, the Chinese army in Jin Province would be in big trouble.
Gu Xun glanced at everyone's solemn faces and suddenly chuckled."
"Why? Are you all afraid?"
Zhu Tianyu sighed,"
"Regiment Commander, it's not that we want to put down our own prestige, but we have to treat this A-grade Regiment seriously.”
Looking at everyone's deep agreement, Gu Xun clapped his hands.
"That's right, an A-grade division must be prepared for battle and cannot afford to make any mistakes.”
"But there's no need to panic because of this!”
Gu Xun turned around and pointed at the map on the wall.
"The thing I've been worried about the most these days is the island army fighting to the death and sending two of the A species divisions into Jin!”
"However, the news now proves that we were overthinking. The island army seriously underestimated the strength of our Huaxia army in Jin Province!”
"Two A-grade Regiments. Even my 369th Regiment would have to be prepared to pay a heavy price to break out of the encirclement. But since the island army thinks that just one A division is enough, then we will tell them how wrong they are!”
Seeing that everyone was still extremely nervous, Gu Xun called out the name of the second battalion commander, Sun Biao.
