In fact, the third battalion commander's concerns were unnecessary. Since the team he sent was beaten at the east gate, the Japanese troops in Quxingji have never come out. They are honestly guarding the village and will never stand out.

The Japanese army did not fight, which did not mean that Li Qinglin did not fight. Li Qinglin ordered the troops to advance that night. The troops of the Fifth Company dug the trenches at the first and third battalions to the closest distance to Quxingji overnight.

Taking advantage of the ammunition now, Li Qinglin ordered the guards to be rotated in the ranking units. Regardless of all the new and veterans loading the bullets, the Japanese army on the wall and in the fortifications began to shoot live targets in the fifth company as live targets.

Through this live-fire shooting training for living targets, Li Qinglin found several soldiers in the company with excellent marksmanship. Two of the sergeants had excellent marksmanship, one of which was named Guo Zilin and the other was named Chen Jianming.

Both of these two people were born farmers. They were neither tall nor strong, and had ordinary appearances. However, they all have one common characteristic, that is, their eyes are bright and quiet, and they are both those who are willing to use their brains.

After a few years of studying in a private school, Guo Zilin was quite able to recognize a few words. In Li Qinglin's mind, he was a good squad leader's material. Chen Jianming didn't know a big word, but he had a very good sense of guns. He found an enemy, shot, aimed, shot, and then moved in secret. These actions were very fast and natural, like walking around, as if they were all completed in an instant. Li Qinglin believed in his heart that Chen Jianming was a shooting genius.

After several rounds of rotation, Li Qinglin selected twenty-four soldiers with good shooting skills according to his results to form a sharp gun team. These shooters used two as a shooting team, one of whom was the main shooter, and his task was to kill the enemy and the other as an assistant. In addition to protecting the safety of the main shooter, he must also be responsible for observing and selecting points to kill the target.

Li Qinglin appointed Guo Zilin as the team leader to specialize in the training of these shooters. These shooters usually participate in battles in various classes, and are only convened by Guo Zilin during training to train. During training, everyone should exchange experiences with each other and strive to improve their level and achieve good results.

In order to stimulate the army's enthusiasm to improve its shooting level, Li Qinglin announced an order in the Fifth Company: All soldiers may enter the sharpshooter team, as long as their guns are shot accurately; those selected into the team may not always be in it, and if the grades are not good, they will still be eliminated; if the soldier is selected as a shooter, his monthly salary will be one ocean more than that of ordinary soldiers; if this shooter makes special contributions in combat, the company will reward them according to the actual situation.

Li Qinglin's decision won everyone's welcome. The veterans who thought they had good marksmanship wanted to join this sharpshooter team, and they rushed to ask for the front line to prove themselves.

Li Qinglin also summarized his mistakes in the Battle of the East Gate, which was that he was only concerned about shooting the enemy with a sniper rifle, treating himself as a soldier rather than a commander. Therefore, the final pursuit delayed the best opportunity, resulting in the army not achieving the greatest results. After understanding this, Li Qinglin sent the sniper rifle to Guo Zilin for use, and introduced his experience in using this gun in detail to Guo Zilin.

Guo Zilin has seen the power of this Type 97 sniper rifle. Since Yushupo was seized from the Japanese, Li Qinglin has been kept and used by himself. This gun can even be said to be the biggest treasure of the fifth company. Li Qinglin now sends this gun to himself, which is his greatest trust in himself. After Guo Zilin took the gun, he hugged it in his arms like a treasure. He repeatedly told Li Qinglin: The gun is there, and the gun is there!

Li Gousheng's machine gun platoon has added two Czech styles this time, and that mortar also played a role. Li Gousheng did not count the number of bullets and shells, and trained several groups of machine gun shooters and mortar shooters in turn.

Although the mortar shooters worked very hard, with the guarantee of ammunition from the first and third battalions, the mortars were also sufficient for live ammunition, but the level of the shooter's goal was indeed not satisfactory, and the bounce points of the shots were always deviated.

Li Qinglin reflected on it. He knew that it was not because these archers did not work hard, but the key was because the soldiers had too little cultural knowledge. Artillery is a very technical group and has high requirements for soldiers' knowledge level in all aspects, especially in mathematics. The two archers in the fifth company are considered soldiers with high education, but they are only elementary school culture. Therefore, if you want to improve your level, you must also have high-quality talents.

The training of the fifth company on the front line surprised the 211 Regiment's 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion. In their opinion, it was a great blessing for the Japanese army to not attack, but the 5th company took the initiative to provoke the Japanese army guarding the village, which was too courageous.

But the actual combat situation surprised them even more. On the first morning of the 5th Company, he actually achieved a record of giving three casualties to the Japanese army with cold guns and cold artillery. However, only one soldier on the 5th Company suffered a penetration injury in the 38th Style!

In fact, the Japanese army was not completely passively beaten. They shot against the fifth company from a high position, and the casualties were greater than those of the fifth company because they looked down on the national army's capabilities at the beginning.

Starting from the afternoon, the Japanese army began to pay attention to the 5th Company's shooters. At this time, the quality and training level of Japanese soldiers were relatively high. Compared with ordinary soldiers of the National Army, most of the Japanese soldiers could be said to be sharpshooters, so the 5th Company's shooters had no advantage to take.

The soldiers of both armies were hiding in fortifications and shooting at each other. Cold guns were heard from time to time on the battlefield, but the actual effect was not very good. Now it was the battalion commanders of the first and third battalions who were happy. They reported to the regiment every day that "Our army organized first-class shooters to fight fiercely with the enemy today, killing and injuring several soldiers of the Rising Sun. The enemy was in a dismay all day and did not dare to go out to the camp to fight."

The first and second battalions did what they said, and the ammunition supply was timely and sufficient, and the military pay agreed by the third battalion was also in place in time. The fifth company trained troops on the front line, and the biggest harvest was the sharp gun team and the group of defeated soldiers who were later recruited.

A soldier or a team can only pass the test of life and death on the battlefield. The officers and soldiers of the fifth company are now full of confidence, and Li Qinglin is very satisfied with this change in the team.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Li Qinglin knew that the current stalemate was definitely temporary. The number of troops in the country was superior, but he did not dare to attack. The Japanese army could not defend it because they were waiting for reinforcements. Once the Japanese reinforcements arrived, this fragile balance would be broken immediately. For the uninspiring troops like the 36th Division, there was only one word left at that time - retreat!

Therefore, Li Qinglin ordered Bao Jiafa to prepare dry food every night, and all the soldiers' dry food bags must be filled. All the officers and soldiers' ammunition bags must also be filled, and all the supplies must be neatly packed to deal with the sudden retreat of the large army at any time.

Sure enough, on the evening of June 2nd, the order to retreat came.
Chapter completed!
