The training time is very tight, and the recruits can decompose independently. After combining and maintaining the rifle, the veterans immediately organized the recruits to shoot and throw bombs. Like other trainings, after the recruits were a little familiar with the key points of shooting and throwing grenades, the veterans immediately took them to the shooting range to shoot live ammunition.

The so-called shooting range is a large open space under a small hillside. A row of tin buckets filled with lime hung one hundred meters away from the shooting position, which is the shooting target.

This time, Li Qinglin was selected for shooting demonstrations because Xiao Liuzi and Li Gousheng had long promoted Li Qinglin's deeds to fight bandits everywhere, and even boasted that Li Qinglin had killed dozens of bandits with guns with one against a hundred.

Of course, the three veteran squad leaders could shoot guns, but except for Zhang Ergou who was lying in the trenches and firing several shots in Jiangxi, the rest of the people were fired on the shooting range. Even Zhang Ergou was just shooting guns on the battlefield. As for whether he could hit someone, Zhang Ergou was not sure.

Li Qinglin participated in the actual battle to kill bandits, and Zhang Ergou asked Li Qinglin to shoot for other recruits.

After military training in college, Li Qinglin was reborn and not only could he skillfully decompose and assemble guns, but also read the "Infantry Practice" carefully. The quality of individual soldiers may be more standard than that of these veterans. With the command of Zhang Ergou's "lying down, loading, aiming, and shooting", Li Qinglin's movements were natural and standard, lying down, loading, aiming, and shooting several movements were completed in one go.

"Bang, bang" five gunshots, and white smoke came out of the lime bucket five times. Five shots hit, and the recruits couldn't help but applaud, and even Zhang Ergou was excited to applaud.

Zhang Ergou divided half of the people this time and asked Li Qinglin to teach shooting step by step, and then train his other half. With Li Qinglin's help, the first team of the recruits in the third company, the third platoon and one squad passed the shooting training.

Although the 10th Division is an elite national army, the number of bullets used for training recruits is only twenty-five. The twenty-five bullets trained by the recruits are also astronomical in the local army. It is very lucky that their recruits can fire ten bullets before going to the battlefield.

The standard for passing the shooting of the new recruits in the National Army is actually very low. They are not shooting human-shaped chest targets, but attacking the big iron barrel. The new recruits shoot five bullets at a time and can hit a large iron barrel 100 meters away three times. The big iron barrel 100 meters away is not much smaller than a bucket. As long as they master the shooting skills a little, it is difficult to hit it but not.

Although Li Qinglin and his class passed the shooting training, each of them fired only fifteen bullets, and the rest of the bullets were hidden by Zhang Ergou.

The sharpshooters are all fed with bullets. The recruits fired a few more shots, and they will kill more enemies on the battlefield in the future, and their chances of survival will be greater. Li Qinglin asked Zhang Ergou quietly why he didn't let the recruits shoot again. Zhang Ergou whispered: "It's enough if you pass the test. Let's change some more bullets to drink."

When Zhang Ergou was in the dark market, he did sell the bullets secretly. After getting the money, he drank several wines with Li Qinglin.

Next is grenade training, assassination training, etc., which are no problem for Li Qinglin. As an elite unit, the squad leader sent by the 10th Division is all experienced veterans. Although the training is hasty, it is still standardized. Therefore, this year's training for new recruits has not experienced fire and accidental injury.

Because Li Qinglin knew the words and was a scholar in the recruit camp, Li Qinglin himself was also very kind and came from a farmer family, so the soldiers liked to communicate with him. In addition, Xiao Liuzi and others bragged for him. After all, Li Qinglin became the core of the recruits. Sometimes what Li Qinglin said was better than the squad leader.

Since entering the recruit camp, Li Qinglin and other recruits have never left the camp and are not allowed to write letters to their homes. Seeing that the recruit training is so urgent, Li Qinglin always felt that it was the reason, and perhaps the troops would be sent to the battlefield soon.

Sure enough, on August 7, the main force of the Japanese Fifth Division, part of the Independent Mixed Eleventh Brigade and part of the Sakai Brigade of the Kanto Army Chahar Dispatch Army, totaling more than 20,000 people, launched an attack on Tang Enbo's 13th Army at the south entrance. The Japanese army launched a fierce attack with the cooperation of planes, cannons and tanks. The officers and soldiers of the 13th Army bravely fought back and the battle was extremely fierce.

On August 8, Chiang Kai-shek published a letter to the soldiers of the entire army in the name of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government. He recorded his sins for several days. The article said: "Since September 18th, the more we have been patient and concessions, the more fierce and oppressed they have been, and the more we have been, the more we have been, and we have been able to retreat. Today, we can't bear it and have no choice but to retreat. Therefore, we must work together and fight to the end together."

On August 10, the recruits who had just learned to shoot guns and threw grenades were picked up in batches and hurriedly replenished the front-line troops of the 10th Division. Li Qinglin was incorporated into the 10th Division, the 28th Brigade, the 57th Regiment, the 4th Company of the Second Battalion, the 3rd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, was promoted to the sergeant squad leader of the 3rd Platoon, the 3rd Platoon, the 3rd Platoon, the 3rd Platoon, the 2nd Platoon, was old troops of Zhang Ergou. Because of his contributions in this training, Zhang Ergou was promoted to the sergeant squad leader of the 3rd Platoon, the 3rd Platoon, and the 3rd Platoon.

On August 11, the 10th Division was urgently taken to Shimen Railway Station and boarded the train heading north.

The 14th Army was transferred to the north by Chiang Kai-shek in order to rescue Tang Enbo's 13th Army, who was struggling to survive the crisis in the Juyongguan area in the southwest entrance of the capital.

After the July 7 Incident, the Japanese invaders occupied the Pingjin area. In order to quickly defeat China's anti-Japanese forces and realize the ambition of "destroying China within three months", the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack along the Pinghan, Jinpu and Pingsui railways. The Japanese army originally planned to attack along the Pinghan and Jinpu roads, while the Pingsui road direction only restrained the battlefield. However, because China had heavy troops in this direction, it could threaten the Japanese army in Pingjin and the northeast at any time, and might threaten the Japanese army in Pinghan road direction from the flanks, so the Kwantung Army repeatedly demanded that the Pingsui road be fought first.

As early as Japan occupied the Pingjin area, the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission of the National Government made a judgment that the Japanese army would first open up the Pingsui Road, which would be connected with the Chahar dispatched troops of Tojo Hideki Tojo outside the pass. Chahar, Rehe, northern Hebei, and Inner Mongolia would fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and Shanxi, as the "Key of North China", would be in danger.

In mid-July, Chiang Kai-shek instructed Tang Enbo: Juyongguan, south of Pingsui Road, has always been a place that military strategists must fight for, and they should prepare for prevention as soon as possible.

On August 3, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Tang Enbo to lead his troops to Nankou to defend. After receiving the order, Tang Enbo immediately led his troops to Nankou.

On August 5, Tang Enbo led three divisions and one brigade of troops to set up defensive positions in the Juyongguan area, and the combat deployment was roughly completed.

On August 7, the 5th Division and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade launched an attack on the Nankou and its Great Wall Pass along the route, and the Battle of Nankou began.

Although China's predictions were accurate and had corresponding combat deployments, the enemy's troops were large and well-equipped. Although China was prepared, it was far from enough. Therefore, the 13th Army on the front battlefield suffered heavy casualties and were struggling to support it.

The southern part of China is also not peaceful. On August 9, the company commander brought back a news from the battalion headquarters that the captain of the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai Yuo Oyama and the first-class sailor Saito Tsun in a military vehicle to break into the Shanghai Hongqiao military airport. After being blocked by Chinese guards, they shot and killed an airport guard. The Chinese defenders fired themselves and shot the two of them on the spot.

The Japanese army used the Hongqiao incident to order a large number of Japanese troops to land in Shanghai, and ordered aircraft carriers anchored near Shanghai to prepare for combat. Reconnaissance planes that took off from the aircraft carriers were reconnaissance flights over Songhuhang from time to time. In the Songhuhang area, a war between China and Japan was about to break out.

On August 11, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to order the 14th Army of Wei Lihuang, who was gathering in Shimen, to set out immediately and rush to the Central Army of Nankou to fight against the war.
