There were not many talents related to the artillery of the 369th Regiment. After Zhu Tianyu filtered and reported, Gu Xun finally decided on the platoon level and above officers for this newly formed artillery battalion.
The battalion commander of the artillery battalion would be the former captain of the artillery teaching detachment, and his position would be taken over by the former deputy captain.
Even if the artillery battalion was established, Gu Xun would not directly empty the teaching detachment because of this. It was extremely important to maintain the continuous training of technical personnel.
Even during wartime, as long as there were other options, normal countries would not send their students who had not graduated to the battlefield. This was because the repercussions of such a matter were too great. The shortage of talent and the lack of succession were the lightest.
Under Gu Xun's personal care, the logistics department of the 369th Regiment conscientiously ensured the training needs of the artillery battalion. The spent shells were piled up like mountains every day, and all of them were collected by the logistics department.
These were all high-quality steel products. The factories in China almost did not have the ability to produce them.
In other words, the entire Huaxia couldn't produce mortar shells that could meet Gu Xun's needs, let alone the entire shell.
If Gu Xun was willing to trade these shells, many Chinese troops would be interested. However, only the 369th Regiment used the 80mm mortar. In the end, Gu Xun chose to temporarily collect the discarded shells for future use.
Under Gu Xun's strict orders, the Artillery Battalion trained the various platoons in the form of a crash course. The logistics department was also systematically providing the supplies that the various units needed on a daily basis and accumulating resources for the upcoming war.
Even Gu Xun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration every time he saw the report from the logistics department. He really didn't know how these people managed to keep filling up the warehouse of Regiment 369 with scraps from their daily consumption.
With the supervision of the deputy leader Zhu Tianyu, the people in the logistics department were really thrifty.
While the 369th Regiment was frantically preparing for battle, the news that the Chinese army in the northwestern region of Shanxi had been waiting for finally arrived.
The Chinese army near the railway confirmed the arrival of the 20th division of the island army and suffered heavy losses in the battle with the island army. They risked huge casualties to report the news.
This news quickly spread among the various Chinese troops, causing them to raise their level of alert to the highest.
At the same time, the Chinese troops that were in contact with the two island army's B division retreated to prevent the 20th division that was transferred to the northwest of Shanxi from being annihilated. Or, he could increase the intensity of the attack and try to remove the threat of the island army in front of him as soon as possible.
A single division had changed the situation of the war in the northwest of Shanxi.
The Chinese army had destroyed two of the B-type Regiments, and in response, the island army had sent an A-type Regiments over. In the eyes of the Chinese army, this was a clear signal that the island army was determined to wipe out the enemies and seal them off.
" Regiment Commander, the news is true. Two of our friendly forces have lost their combat ability in the process of stopping the island army from chasing after the main force…"
Chief of Staff Liu Rui held the telegrams he had received from the other Chinese troops, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious.
Although the formation of the artillery battalion gave the officers of the 369th Regiment unprecedented confidence, when they faced the island army's A division, they would inevitably feel weak.
To be able to cause two Chinese regiments to lose their fighting strength in one move, it could only be said that the A Division did not live up to its reputation.
"Why? Are you afraid?"
Gu Xun was still buried in the telegrams sent by the various departments and asked without raising his head.
"No, but we have to take the threat of the A Corps seriously…"
Without waiting for Liu Rui to finish, Gu Xun continued,
"Yes, we have to take it seriously, so I plan to contact the other troops.”
"An A division, Japan has given us such a big piece of meat, it's hard to refuse.”
" Just those two B type divisions whose combat power has long been worn down want to protect it, ha…"
Hearing Gu Xun's leisurely tone, Liu Rui could not help but feel his heart pounding.
That was the entire Jia Seed Regiment!
In the eyes of the group leader, it was actually just a piece of fat meat that could not escape. It could only be said that the group leader was indeed worthy of being called a group leader. He was bold with his skills…
"Contact the New Second Regiment. I remember that their base is near us, right? This time, I'm looking for their brigade commander because I have an even bigger business deal to discuss with them!”
After receiving the order, Liu Rui didn't dare to delay. He immediately agreed and arranged the task of communication.
Two days later, Gu Xun led the security company to a small village near the base of the 369th Regiment to negotiate with Li Jinshan and the brigade commander.
Due to the importance of the matter, even the brigade commander could not make a decision on the spot. In the end, he decided to report it to the division headquarters.
Three days later, Gu Xun, who was in charge of Regiment 369's headquarters, received a reply from the brigade commander. He agreed to Gu Xun's suggestion and the Chinese army under his command would cooperate with Gu Xun's actions.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Gu Xun had to show the strength that could make them cooperate and meet the various prerequisites raised during the negotiation process. Otherwise, they would never use the troops under their jurisdiction to fight against the A division of the island army.
"It's done."
Gu Xun patted the telegrams on the table, feeling relieved.
