Perhaps it was because the Japanese army's arrogance was frustrated that it affected its current fighting will. Perhaps it was because the Japanese army's current lack of troops, and they no longer adopted the wavy offensive tactics. Everyone in the fifth company was desperately shooting, and the Japanese attacking troops were blocked two hundred meters away.

The sound of guns behind him lasted for more than 40 minutes. Suddenly, the sound of guns and gunshots over there became smaller, and there were still sporadic gunshots sounded from time to time. What was the battle behind him? Li Qinglin turned around and picked up the telescope to observe carefully.

After a while, a national army flag suddenly rushed out of the smoke. Behind the military flag was a group of national army soldiers, who hurriedly ran here.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming!" Li Qinglin shouted excitedly.

Just then, Li Gousheng shouted: "Boss, the Japanese opposite seems to be running away."

Li Qinglin turned around and observed the Japanese opposite the fifth company. As Li Gousheng said, the Japanese who rushed in front were already retreating.

Li Qinglin picked up the rifle and ordered: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, we should fight back. If there is no enemy, I will be invincible, kill me!" After that, he picked up the rifle and jumped out of the trench.

The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company, who had been suppressed and beaten by the Japanese army for this time, had already had enough of their cowardice. The arrival of reinforcements aroused the courage of the officers and soldiers, and they rushed out with rifles.

Li Qinglin knew that this kind of pursuit actually had little practical significance. The reason why he did this was mainly to build confidence for the team, that is, as long as he fought hard, the Japanese would not really fight to the death.

The Japanese soldiers ran faster, and the fifth company did not catch up with them. When the company rushed out about two hundred meters, the Japanese intercepting artillery fire arrived. Li Qinglin hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, the entire company retreated to the trenches!"

The fifth company rushed quickly and retreated very quickly. The Japanese artillery fire continued to blow up behind their butts, but they didn't blow up. The guard's trench arrived soon, and just as Li Qinglin jumped into the trench, a shell exploded not far away.

Li Qinglin, whose body was still hanging in the air, felt a sudden blow in his chest, and his body was hit backwards, and he fell heavily into the trench. Li Qinglin, who fell into the trench, felt a pain in his chest. At this time, his head buzzed and he thought to himself: "It's over!"

Seeing Li Qinglin lying in the trench without moving for a long time, Li Gousheng touched him and asked anxiously: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qinglin touched his left front chest, and there seemed to be no bleeding except for the pain. So he looked down and found that a hole had been penetrated into the pocket of the heart of the left front chest.

He reached out and touched his pocket, took out a pocket watch and several oceans. One of them had sunken, and there was a black shrapnel the size of soybeans embedded on it.

Li Gousheng looked at the hole and the silver dollar that was bent in Li Qinglin's hand. He took a breath and said, "Boss, you are really lucky and lucky!"

Li Qinglin carefully checked other parts of his body. Fortunately, everything was in good condition in other parts of his body.

Holding the silver dollar in his hand, Li Qinglin couldn't help but feel grateful to Xiao Liuzi from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi gave everyone ten yuan before the battle, and he put it in his pocket casually.

The shrapnel is not large in size, but the hitting part is very important. If there was no silver dollar blocking, the shrapnel would probably hit his heart, and he would have died long ago. Even if the shrapnel did not directly hit the center, it penetrated into the chest cavity. With the medical conditions at this time, Li Qinglin would have lost half his life even if he didn't die. This ocean has really saved his life now.

Just when Li Qinglin was still feeling emotion, reinforcements had already arrived on the position.

The 145th Regiment was besieged, which caused great concern to the commanders. Dai Anlan, the commander of the 73rd Brigade, urgently ordered the 146th Regiment to come for reinforcements. The extremely fierce battle just now was a battle between the 146th Regiment and the Japanese detour troops.

Reinforcements arrived, the positions were redistributed, and a staff officer came to the 145th Regiment to contact the 146th Regiment for the two regiments to fight together.

Because the brigade had already made arrangements, the contact between the two regiments was very smooth, and the division of the trenches was quickly over. The casualties of the 5th Company were all out of the stage, and now there were only 77 people who could fight. The 5th Company was short of staff, and its officers and soldiers tightened together. The trenches they guarded were divided into half of the 146th Regiment.

After all these were busy, the regiment's staff secretly pulled Li Qinglin aside. He asked a question that surprised Li Qinglin: "Have you met the Third Battalion Commander?"

Li Qinglin had not seen anyone from the Third Battalion since the war started, so he shook his head quickly.

It turned out that the regiment headquarters was also attacked by the enemy, and the situation was extremely critical. The regiment commander called the Third Battalion at that time and notified the Third Battalion to send two companies to reinforce. The one who could answer the call was the Company Commander of the Seventh Company. According to the report of the Company Commander of the Seventh Company, when the enemy's artillery fire began, the Third Battalion Commander He Peide disappeared, and probably had escaped from the battlefield.

After the staff officer finished the matter and left, Li Qinglin stood there for a long time. After the enemy shelled the village, his second battalion commander Xi Yaozhi didn't know where to go. Now the third battalion commander didn't know where to go. There were only three infantry battalions in a regiment. Now the two battalion commanders were not seen during the fiercest battle. This news shocked Li Qinglin very much.

Seeing Li Qinglin standing there silently, several squad platoon leaders surrounded him. After Li Qinglin introduced the situation of the two battalion commanders, these squad platoon leaders were furious.

Zhang Ergou snatched his hand into the ground with a dark face and yelled: "What are these officials? Dozens of our brothers are killed and injured here, and the lives of these officials are more precious than ours? What's the point of fighting this kind of war? I won't work hard for them!"

Seeing that several other people were also trying to throw guns, Li Qinglin quickly picked up Zhang Ergou's gun, handed it to him and said to everyone: "Brothers, now you are on the battlefield. If you lose your position, you will be shot in front of deserters. Is Han Fuqu a big official? Wasn't he also shot? The military law is ruthless, so the two escaped battalion commanders of our regiment will naturally have someone to settle the score with them. As for whether we are doing it or not, we have to wait for the battle to finish the battle. Are you right?"

Han Fuqu’s example was right in front of him. Everyone silently returned to their battle positions with weapons. They repaired fortifications and rested, but they were all in a low mood.

The Japanese army opposite seemed to be injured, and they did not make any noise until the evening, and the two armies confronted each other.
