Tactics such as guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare were traditional skills for the 369th Regiment. In Jin Province, there were not many Chinese troops who could survive until now.
"If we had millions of troops, we would be ready to push the Japanese into the sea right now.”
Su Liancheng looked at Gu Xun sitting on the chair and muttering to himself, not daring to speak.
"Go, let the various departments do a count and see how many people our 369th Regiment has.”
"Yes, sir!"
…………
Three days later, at the camp of a company in the 2nd Battalion of the 369th Regiment.
A platoon of soldiers followed the order of the regiment headquarters and ran to a nearby farmhouse that was only left with broken walls. Each of them carried back two wooden boxes.
The soldiers who were having lunch looked at the group of comrades who had returned with boxes and sized them up curiously.
The regiment headquarters would always give them a bunch of fancy things every few days. He wondered what good things the regiment commander had brought back for them this time.
The platoon leader who was leading the team placed the box on his shoulder on the ground, patted the dust off his palm, and took a deep breath.
"Those who wear size 40 shoes, come here!”
One of the boxes he carried over was marked with the number 40 in black. The other soldiers also placed the boxes marked with the same number beside the platoon leader.
"Come, come!"
Hearing the platoon leader's call, the soldiers put the compressed biscuits in their hands aside and rushed forward.
Although Gu Xun guaranteed to have rice every day, he usually only had one meal.
At other times, he would usually use eggs, bread, and other ingredients to deal with it.
In any case, these soldiers were very satisfied with their current life compared to the days when they couldn't even afford to eat cornbread and could only eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Being able to guarantee a meal of rice every day was a promise that they didn't expect to fulfill when they joined the army.
As a result, although the 369th Regiment's daily training was extremely intense, almost from 6 am to 6 pm, there had never been a mistake in the logistics supply. The soldiers wished that they could continue living like this. Even if they died on the training ground, their lives were worth it.
"Is everyone here? Someone else can help take care of those who didn't come."
The platoon leader shouted as he looked at the soldiers walking over.
"Sixth Brother, take a wrench and open all the boxes.”
"Alright."
The soldier beside him took out a wrench from his pocket and squatted down to pry open the wooden boxes one by one.
The wooden box's cover was removed, and the soldiers who were watching the show from the side were stunned when they saw the black objects that reflected the sunlight.
Lowering their heads to look at their straw sandals or cloth shoes, someone whispered,"
"Oh my, the regiment commander is really generous.”
The crates were filled with size 40 black military boots.
The Chinese army mainly wore cloth shoes or even straw shoes, but for an infantry unit that often needed to march long distances, cloth shoes and straw shoes obviously greatly affected the combat strength and the ability of the soldiers to march.
Gu Xun had been unhappy with the Chinese army's combination of cloth shoes and leggings for a long time. He had recently saved up a sum of points and got rid of all these annoying things.
A warrior got his own military boots and hurriedly sat on a rock beside him. He took off his cloth shoes and put on new and shiny military boots.
As for the original cloth shoes, he carefully put them aside. The Chinese soldiers who were used to being thrifty could not bear to throw them away.
"Heh, I've been eyeing the Japanese's leather shoes for a long time. I didn't expect that we would be wearing leather shoes one day.”
The platoon leader, who was distributing the military boots, burst out laughing and corrected him,"
"These are called boots, leather boots! However, this thing was indeed cowhide. It felt really f * cking good to the touch.”
Looking at the soldiers who were standing up happily, stomping on the ground, and looking at the new boots on their feet, the platoon leader reminded them again,"
"Usually, you have to be careful when you wear it. The regiment headquarters didn't say if you can apply for a new one. If you accidentally wear it, it will be troublesome.”
A warrior who was walking in a goose-step and wished everyone could see him in his leather boots laughed,"
"Don't worry, Platoon Leader. I used to be a shoemaker. Mending boots is a small matter.”
After working for half a day, the platoon leader who led the team to carry the boxes shouted to the back,"
"Move the rest of the boxes over and open them!”
The soldiers who were checking out their new boots looked over and were almost blinded by the items in the box.
They were shiny steel helmets!
The process of distributing steel helmets was much smoother than distributing leather boots. All the soldiers in the company took off their military caps and put on their steel helmets one after another. At least on the surface, they looked like elite soldiers.
The platoon leader looked at the excited soldiers and could not help but whisper,"
"Why do I feel like a Japanese?”
…………
"Regiment Commander, the entire regiment has been equipped with military boots and helmets. At the same time, according to the statistics, the total number of our 369th Regiment is 9810!”
In the hall of the regiment headquarters, Su Liancheng reported the progress of the entire regiment's changing work to Gu Xun.
Gu Xun nodded."
"It still hasn't reached 10,000 people…But it doesn't matter, this just happens to fit the title of 'team'.”
The technician who was translating the telegram nearby almost burst out laughing.
Regiment 369 could only fool people outside Jinxi who didn't know the situation.
All the Huaxia troops in Southwest Jin knew that the 369th Regiment had been going to the nearby villages every day. They had been recruiting soldiers since the new year.
Not to mention that after they understood the logistics and equipment of the 369th Regiment, they were all guarding against the 369th Regiment like thieves.
It was not that they were afraid that Regiment 369 would be interested in their little things, but they were afraid that their own soldiers would be influenced by Regiment 369 every day. They would not be able to resist the temptation and run to Regiment 369. At that time, it would be extremely troublesome to deal with.
After all, Regiment 369 was an ideal place to go.
Needless to say, the standard of diet during normal times, and extremely powerful weapons and equipment could greatly enhance the survivability of the entire army even on the battlefield.
As a technician in charge of receiving and sending telegrams, he knew exactly how powerful Regiment 369 was.
After translating the latest telegram, the technician's expression changed. He instantly became much more serious. He stood up and said,
"Guild Leader! An important telegram!"
Gu Xun turned around and took the translated telegram from him. His breathing quickened a little.
"It is believed that the frequency of radio waves sent out by the island army from Taiyuan has increased significantly in recent days. Regiment headquarters, please pay attention to whether the situation has changed.”
There was no speculation in the telegram, but Gu Xun clearly understood the meaning.
The island army might be mobilizing troops! Regiment headquarters, stop watching the show. This time, there might really be a war!
"I've finally waited for you…"
Gu Xun took a deep breath and crumpled the telegram in his hand.
The timing was right. It was time for Regiment 369 to be pulled out to be tested.
"Liancheng, pass on my order. All the troops in the regiment are on alert. Repair their weapons. The officers in charge of logistics are ready to move the ammunition with the army. Pay close attention to whether the other allies have taken action and be on guard against the possible military actions of the island army!”
"Yes, sir!"
