Chapter 228 Westbound 11
Li Qinglin visited Liu Jingmin, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 212th Regiment, and took the initiative to express his ability to share the task of flanking defense for the 2nd Battalion.
Liu Jingmin didn't even have time to welcome him for a unit full of personnel and rich practical experience? Liu Jingmin immediately expressed his welcome and arranged for the 5th Company to be stationed at his right wing to prevent the 211th Regiment from retreating without fighting again.
With the permission of the 212th Regiment, Li Qinglin immediately went back to arrange for the 5th Company to be stationed.
The right wing of the 212th Regiment is the garrison of the 211th Regiment, which is located near the east gate of Quxingji. According to the arrangement of the 212th Regiment, Li Qinglin was stationed a thousand meters behind the 211th Regiment, and the east gate of Quxingji can be seen from afar.
After stationing, Li Qinglin immediately arranged for emergency training for the defeated soldiers who were recruited on Yushupo. If these scared guys do not add courage to them, they will escape in the next battle.
In the Fifth Company, Li Qinglin's orders were of course executed without hesitation. The veterans would not be polite to these former deserters. During training, as long as these people make a slight mistake, the veterans' fists and butt stocks will fall like raindrops.
The fifth company has also added new recruits many times before. Li Qinglin has always banned veterans from beating new recruits, but this time he did not stop the veterans' behavior. The cruel battlefield has told everyone that one person's escape will lead to several escapes, and the retreat of a small number of people will collapse the entire front. In this case, moral preaching is pale and powerless, and sometimes corporal punishment will get more effective results.
The fifth company's emergency training lasted for two days, and the 212th Regiment and the enemy also went on and off for two days.
The 36th Division of the 27th Army came to the Lanfeng battlefield. The 108th Brigade was destroyed by several enemy shells. The 211th Regiment of the 106th Brigade was also scared by several enemy shells. The only one who could still fight against the enemy was the 212th Regiment.
In Quxingji, although the 212th Regiment was designated as the main attacker, the 36th teachers and students were afraid that the Japanese army would attack the division headquarters, so they forced the 1st Battalion of the 212th Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion was used as a strategic reserve. So a very strange phenomenon occurred on the battlefield. The 36th Division was nominally devoted to the battlefield, but in fact the only one who exchanged fire with the enemy was the 212th Regiment.
Without the support of heavy artillery, it is impossible to defeat Quxingji, which has high walls and solid bases with the combat power of the Second Battalion. Although Quxingji's foreign troops are approaching, there are only a handful of enemies in Quxingji, but the national army can only confront the enemy in the wild. This kind of battle is indeed ridiculous.
Forced to helplessly, the Second Battalion of the 212th Regiment had to monitor the enemy during the day and organize a small group of assault teams to conduct night attacks at night. Although the number of Japanese troops was not large, they had been prepared for a long time. The night attack of the Second Battalion could only make the enemy nervous for a while and did not achieve any actual results.
The 212th Regiment seemed very satisfied with the current situation. They only asked the frontline troops to dig trenches and repair fortifications, encouraged stable defense rather than ordered active attacks. However, the battle reports they wrote to the above were full of flowers, and our army always fought with the enemy day and night in Quxingji. Although there were heavy casualties, they would rather die than retreat.
The 212th Regiment was very polite to the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was not grateful for this. At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 31, the east gate of Quxingji suddenly opened, and a Japanese reinforcement team led by the traitor, attacked the 211th Regiment's position under the sun flag.
Like the Type 38 rifle, the Type 97 sniper rifle was not very recoiled. Li Qinglin clearly saw from the scope that a hole appeared in the eyebrows of the Japanese Chief Cao, and then he fell down on his back.
