Seeing that Li Qinglin and the others nodded in agreement, the captain and staff hurried to the group of people and politely invited these people to the camp to have tea.

Li Qinglin quickly called Xiao Liuzi to his side and told him about the matter in this way. Xiao Liuzi nodded frequently.

What Li Qinglin absolutely believes in now is Xiao Liuzi and Li Gousheng. On the one hand, the three of them are fellow villagers who are well-versed in the knowledgeable areas. On the other hand, the three of them have experienced the battlefield on the front line of life and death together, and they trust each other even more. Li Gousheng is a rough man, very brave in charge and generous in nature, but it is more suitable for Xiao Liuzi to do such meticulous things. Xiao Liuzi has a few words. He has been practicing in Li Wancai's house for many years and has spoken and done things very safely. Things like this are the most suitable for him to do.

Xiao Liuzi was indeed very clever. Just when the captain and staff advised everyone to go to the camp to rest, Xiao Liuzi and Zhang Guoyuan quietly joined in. This kind of behavior of changing weapons to things is absolutely not allowed in the army. Everything must be done secretly. Li Qinglin is absolutely at ease with Xiao Liuzi's ability, and he did not ask Xiao Liuzi more afterwards.

The laborers were half-persuaded and half-pulled to the battalion headquarters. Xiao Liuzi took the recruits out of the village with guns on their backs and said they were going to train. Li Qinglin and several seriously injured veterans stayed in the house to rest. Li Qinglin's body was still a little weak, and he slept on the side of the kang and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already evening, Xiao Liuzi and the others had already returned, and the cooks also brought supper.

Today, the gentry who worked in the army sent a mouthful of fat pigs and some rice, flour and vegetables. They ate mixed noodles and a large bucket of stewed vegetables for dinner. What made the soldiers happy was that the stewed vegetables were full of oil and stirred with a spoon, and large pieces of fat were exposed from time to time.

A rich meal made the soldiers excited. After dinner, after a while, everyone fell asleep. The small mountain village was very quiet, and the autumn rain began to drizzle again. The sound of dripping under the eaves was very clear in the quiet night. Li Qinglin lay on the side of the kang, but he couldn't sleep.

Since I was arrested at the end of last month and have not heard from my family until now, except for writing a letter to report my safety.

In fact, Li Qinglin left a letter when he was arrested at Wan'an Railway Station. At that time, he did not really want to enter the military camp of the Miscellaneous Army. Leaving that letter was not only to let his family know his situation, but also to give Liu Zhengsheng the opportunity to pass the news to Pan Kewei and let Pan Kewei have the opportunity to salvage him.

At this time, the Military Control Commission was still in the period of integration and development. Although it did not have the same power as it was a few years later, it was still an easy thing to take out a big-headed soldier like Li Qinglin from the military camp. Li Qinglin could conclude that Pan Kewei had known that he had been arrested and Li Qinglin had not yet received news about Pan Kewei looking for him.

There is no news about Pan Kewei so far, and Li Qinglin analyzed that there are two possibilities. One may show that this guy is not concerned about him and feels that it is not worth talking to him, a commoner; the other possibility is that this guy thinks he has paid a large sum of money long ago, and he has both grudges and no longer needs to talk to him. Li Qinglin thought about it and felt that both possibilities exist.

In the quiet night, there were sleeping soldiers talking in their sleep. Li Qinglin vaguely thought of his parents, two wives and children at home, and didn't know how they were now. The situation of the war was already very serious. According to the historical trajectory, the Japanese army would soon advance to Wan'an County. Li Qinglin thought that he would still be unable to leave the army for a while, and he was not at home, and the people at home did not know whether they were ready. Li Qinglin was very worried.

Li Qinglin's wound was very deep this time and he shed a lot of blood. Although he was very worried about his family, he still fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, the bright sunlight woke Li Qinglin up, and today it turned out to be a sunny day.

The quiet and peaceful mountain village seems to be isolated from the world, but across the two mountains, the sound of gunfire on the front line is coming from time to time, reminding people from time to time that war is around them.

A sunny day is a good thing for those in the rear like Li Qinglin and others. They can wash and clean up and bask in the sun well, but it is not a good thing for the officers and soldiers on the front line.

The 14th Army was all reorganized divisions. Their firepower configuration and strong combat effectiveness beyond the ordinary Chinese army made the Japanese commander clearly realize that this was the main force of the Chinese army. Concentrating the elimination of the main force of the Chinese elite troops was the dream of the Japanese army, so they not only dispatched troops on the ground and strengthened their attacks, but also all the Japanese Army aviation troops who had freed up from the south entrance joined the battle.

Japanese planes came over the position from time to time to time to dive bomb, and the huge explosion of aviation bombs was shaking the sky, and balls of smoke rose from Qingshuijian to the position, which Li Qinglin and others could see from a distance. The 10th Division had only two anti-aircraft guns. In just one morning, these two anti-aircraft guns were blown into scrap iron by the Japanese planes. The National Army guarding Qingshuijian had to stand up with the bombing of the Japanese planes and struggled to support them.

The day before yesterday, Li Qinglin and his friends attacked the Qingshuijian high ground. Although the Qingshuijian was high, it was difficult to build fortifications with more stones and less soil, and the National Army could not provide support fortifications. At that time, Li Qinglin thought that Qingshuijian was difficult to defend.

Sure enough, at around 4 pm, a large group of wounded soldiers were carried off from the front line, and they brought a message - the 10th Division took down Qingshuijian and returned to the Fengshushan position.

The news from the front line made the officers and soldiers of the third platoon very upset. Zhang Ergou Dudu cursed: "I have died so many brothers before I captured it. They are lost in less than a day. They are all a group of idiots."

Xiao Liuzi asked Li Qinglin worriedly: "Brother, Qingshuijian can't hold on, can this Hair Mountain be guarded?"

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "I have been guarding Mount Feng for so many days, and the Japanese still can't fight for a while. Just put your heart in your stomach."

Sunny days are also a good weather for training. Veterans consciously led new soldiers to train before the war. Soldiers like Li Qinglin and Zhang Ergou are lazy. Soldiers either sleep or bask in the sun. They all want to recover their wounds as soon as possible.

After lunch, the company commander came and he brought a person, the new third-row platoon leader, Lieutenant Wu Cheng.

Second Lieutenant Wu Cheng is 24 years old and has just graduated from the military academy to the 10th Division. Before coming, he worked as an intern staff officer in the regiment headquarters. This time, the platoon leader of the front-line grassroots company suffered too many casualties. The regiment urgently added these officers who had just graduated from the military academy to the company. Wu Cheng was sent to the Fourth Company by the regiment, and the Fourth Company sent him to the Third Platoon as the platoon leader.

Li Qinglin gathered three squad soldiers together, the company commander introduced the new platoon leader to everyone, and then left, and he kept Lieutenant Wu Cheng.
