Li Qinglin took the grenade launcher and grenade bag and accompanied the company commander to the position of the second squad.

Class 2 was beaten very badly this time, even the squad leader and the squad were attached, seven casualties and injuries, and now only six people are left. Li Qinglin, who saw Li Gousheng and Xiao Liuzi live well, had a heart hanging down.

Seeing the company commander coming, all the soldiers of the second squad who were repairing the fortifications put down their work and stood attentively and saluted.

The company commander announced that Li Qinglin would be the squad leader, and strictly ordered the soldiers to obey the squad leader's command and guard the positions.

The company commander left after the order was announced. Li Gousheng and Xiao Liuzi cheered and congratulated Li Qinglin and asked Li Qinglin to treat him.

Seeing that neither of them was hurt, Li Qinglin was very happy and naturally agreed to treat him after the battle. There were three veterans among the remaining six people in the squad, one of them was a sergeant. The three of them stood silently and did not speak. The sergeant saw the badge worn by Li Qinglin, and knew that Li Qinglin was still a new recruit. Although the sergeant did not speak, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

None of this escaped Li Qinglin's eyes.

Some people are dissatisfied. It seems that if you want to find an idea to cure these soldiers, Li Qinglin thought to himself.

The Fourth Company is now the frontier unit of the entire division, so the position is also the frontier. The Knife Face set up three defense lines on the hillside, placing the first and second rows at the foot of the mountain and the third rows on the hillside. Originally, there was a defense line on the ridge, but the Fourth Company had suffered heavy casualties just now, so it was necessary to wait for the subsequent troops to come up before arranging the troops.

The foot of the mountain is basically filled with soil. The trenches dug in the first row and the second row have begun to take shape. There are more stones on the mountainside and less soil, so it is difficult to dig the trenches. A single bunker has been completed in sloppy, but the trenches have not been completely connected.

Li Qinglin walked to a single bunker and asked, "Who dug this?"

The sergeant replied, "I dug the report."

Li Qinglin looked at it and said, "You are a machine gun bunker, right?"

The sergeant was a little surprised and said, "Yes."

Li Qinglin jumped into the bunker, looked left and right, and said, "First, dig half a foot deep inside, so that you will feel comfortable shooting; Second, pick out all the stones in the soil in front of the bunker, so that there will be no flying stones and jumping hurt people; Third, there are not enough machine gun bunkers, and when the enemy concentrates on shooting at you, you must have another bunker to change positions."

The Sergeant was very surprised. Although Li Qinglin was a new recruit, every sentence pointed to the shortcomings of the bunker. Li Qinglin was obviously an expert. When the Sergeant looked at Li Qinglin again, there was no longer any disdain in his eyes, but only respect.

When Li Qinglin saw the changes in the sergeant's eyes, he laughed in his heart. These requirements are all requirements of the "Infantry Practice". For the sergeant and other local buns, every sentence is the truth. If they are not convinced, it will be a ghost.

Li Qinglin jumped out of the bunker pit and shouted to the rest: "Everyone has had a fight with the Japanese, have they all felt it? A good bunker can save half of your life. The Japanese are coming soon. Whoever doesn't want to live can rest or not?"

Of course, no one doesn't want to live. In addition to Li Qinglin, seven people sweated heavily and stepped up construction. Fortunately, these people were all farmers before joining the army, and digging trenches like digging could not help them. So hurry up and a curved trenches belonging to the seven of them were repaired.

This trench mixed with stones is really not easy to dig. After the work is done, seven people throw away the pickaxe and engineer shovels, leaning against the trenches one by one, panting.

The fortifications have been repaired, but there were serious casualties in the past, so there must be other reasons, so he asked Li Gousheng and the others: "How did those brothers die today?"

Li Gousheng replied: "The squad leader was killed by the Japanese soldiers while rushing down the mountain. The squad leader was hit by a rock that was hit in the head, and several others were either machine guns, rifles or injured."

Taking advantage of the realistic example, Li Qinglin began to point out these soldiers: "The Japanese have a very tenacious fighting will. If you can kill them in this situation in the future, you can kill them. Don't lose your life just to catch a living person. This is not worth it."

All six soldiers in the squad nodded.

Li Qinglin then asked: "How can a stone be pierced in the head? Don't you wear a steel helmet?"

The middleman said: "The helmet is a bit heavy, and it feels uncomfortable to wear it on the head and neck. We usually didn't wear it before."

Li Qinglin sighed: "The helmet cannot block bullets, but it can block shrapnel and stones. How long does it take to fight a battle? Just for the sake of these ten or twenty minutes, my neck is more comfortable, but I ended up losing my life, which is even more unprofitable."

The bloody lesson just passed, and the people in Class 2 nodded and put their helmets upright.

Xiao Liuzi suddenly asked a question: "Brother, is there something wrong with our gun? When we were in the war just now, the man next to me was beaten to death by the Japanese when he was fiddling with the gun bolt."

Zhongzheng is the Chinese version of the German 1924 Mauser rifle. It has very high reliability. Compared with the Japanese 38 Type 38 Type, the range and accuracy are not as good as the 38 Type. Pulling the bolt is indeed more laborious. In addition, in the case of continuous shooting, the magazine and the bolt are tightly attached due to heat expansion, which makes the bolt more difficult to pull, but it is impossible to pull it out at all.

Li Qinglin asked: "Is that gun still there?"

Xiao Liuzi handed over a gun and said, "It's this one, I can't pull it out yet!"

Li Qinglin tried hard, but still couldn't pull it away, so he stood up, pressed the rifle stock to the ground, and kicked the bolt with his foot. With a "click", the bolt was opened, and a yellow bullet was also brought out and landed on the ground.

Li Qinglin picked up the rifle that opened the chamber and looked carefully, cursing: "Ma, you don't even wipe the gun, how can you pull the bolt? Such a lazy soldier died without any wretch."

Everyone surrounded and saw that the gun had a lot of oil and dirt in the chamber of the gun. Of course, it was difficult for such a gun to pull the bolt.

It is the squad leader's responsibility to check the maintenance of soldiers' weapons. Li Qinglin thought of other people's situation from the situation of this gun. He shouted: "Everyone will carefully maintain the weapons. I will check them one by one later. The Japanese will come soon. Don't wipe anyone who wants to die."

In fact, before he shouted, everyone else had already started to wipe the gun. Living examples were right in front of him, and no one wanted to be beaten to death like that soldier, because he was lazy.

Everyone was rubbing the guns with all their strength, and Xiao Liuzi said gratefully: "Brother, the squad leader in the past didn't care whether we wiped the guns or not. Now you are here, otherwise we may not be able to pull the bolts in the future."

Li Qinglin was also wiping his gun carefully. While wiping, he reminded: "Not only do you need to wipe it dry with a cloth, but you can pick out the oil and dirt in the grooves and cracks in the bolt. After drying it, apply the oil to the gun, and wipe the bullets in the ammunition bag clean. A useful gun can save your other half of your life."

Li Gousheng and Xiao Liuzi naturally followed Li Qing and Lin Yan, and the other four were also impressed by Li Qinglin. Several of them quickly wiped the rifle in their hands. When it comes to their life and death, no one dared to be lazy, and every gun was wiped clean.

Li Qinglin opened the inspection one by one, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "In the future, if you have time, wipe the gun. If you want to save your life, your gun will wipe cleaner than your face."

At this moment, someone shouted: "The devils are coming!"

The platoon leader immediately gave an order: "Enter the trench, quickly enter the trench! Be prepared for battle!"
Chapter completed!
