Three combat teams of squad 1 covered each other. They looked to stop and stopped, and seemed to be slow, but they had the least casualties and had the best attack effect. Li Qinglin's squad 1 was the first unit in the entire battalion and even the division to rush into the Japanese trenches.

According to the pre-war deployment, after a squad attacked the trenches, they immediately used grenades to open the way and sweep away the remaining Japanese defenders to both sides.

Decades later, all the troops in the world divided grenades into offensive grenades, defensive grenades and offensive and defense grenades according to battlefield experience. The m24 long-handled grenades used by the National Army now should basically be defensive grenades because of their huge power. However, the 97 grenades and the Taisho Tenth-Year-Term grenades used extensively by the Japanese infantry have relatively little explosive power and should be offensive grenades.

Because the offensive grenade is less powerful, infantry can charge and drop bombs while not worry about being accidentally injured by shrapnel thrown by themselves; while the range of defensive grenades is too large, so soldiers are required to lie down immediately after dropping bombs to prevent unnecessary casualties.

Even the less powerful grenade of the Japanese army, as long as it explodes in a small space, can cause great damage to the enemy. Li Qinglin, who has already had experience in seizing trench warfare, read this introduction in a document in his previous life. Before he set out, he asked the soldiers to bring a large number of captured Japanese grenades.

The soldiers kept pulling out the security behind them, then knocked on the buttstock before throwing it out. The sound of grenades in the trench continued to explode, and Li Qinglin was carrying the submachine gun and shooting.

The submachine gun in Li Qinglin's hand was from the platoon leader.

The platoon leader of the National Army usually has a twenty-shot box cannon plus a submachine gun. In the National Army, he is an official with a pistol, so the platoon leader particularly likes his twenty-shot box cannon, although the box cannon was imitated in China. That night, the platoon leader also participated in the battle of sneak attacking Japanese positions, and naturally knew the importance of automatic weapons to trench warfare. So as soon as Li Qinglin proposed to ask for a submachine gun, the platoon leader immediately agreed.

Since entering the enemy's trenches, they have joined in their hands and led a squad to the right with submachine guns, and the platoon leader has taken the box cannon in his hand and led the others to the left with the box cannon in his hand.

After bombardment and grenade bombing, there were not many Japanese troops alive in the trenches. However, the Japanese army was indeed very tenacious. They fought to the death and refused to retreat. Even if they fought to the last person, the last bullet would still resist tenaciously.

The holes torn by a squad played another role at this time. More soldiers of the Kuomintang directly crossed the trenches and then turned around and fired or dropped bullets at the Japanese army in the trenches.

In the movies and TV series of his previous life, Li Qinglin only saw soldiers rushing into the trenches head-on and fighting with the enemy, but the reality is completely different from those film and television series. Crossing the trenches and attacking the enemy is equivalent to attacking both sides, and the attackers are condescending, so the defenders who use bolt-action rifles will undoubtedly be defeated.

After a fierce battle, all the enemies in the trench were eliminated. Li Qinglin and the others seemed to have exhausted their strength. They leaned on the trench and were too lazy to move.

The subsequent troops continued to enter the trenches, and they took shovels and picks and began to strengthen the newly captured trenches.

After a while of rest, Li Qinglin began to count the number of people. The first squad was full of thirteen people when he set off. Now there are nine people in the trenches, and one of them has a little bit of minor injuries.

Xiao Liuzi and Li Gousheng are very busy now. They are taking people to search for spoils on the enemy's corpse. After a while, the two of them come back with two large bags of spoils and smiles.

The platoon leader hurried over with a group of people. As soon as he saw Li Qinglin, he took cigarettes out of his pocket.

When Li Qingli saw the platoon leader smiling, he knew that the platoon leader was going to "borrow soldiers" again. He quickly pushed away the platoon leader's cigarette and said, "No, no! Sir, how many people are left in our squad? We are short of people now. Have you put a few of my people back from other squads?"

"Next!" The platoon leader stuffed cigarettes into Li Qinglin's hand and said while pushing: "The casualties of the second and third squads are too great. The company commander agreed to borrow people from you, so you can support a few."

Li Qinglin took the cigarette and lit it, but did not answer the platoon leader's words.

The platoon leader looked down at the two bags of spoils that Xiao Liuzi and the others searched for. He came up to Li Qinglin's ear and said, "Or like this, you can keep these, how many people will I take away?"

It is natural for subordinates to obey superiors in the army. Li Qinglin really did not let the platoon leader take people away. He just used some small means to let superiors know that the people in the first squad can not be pulled away so casually.

Seeing that the platoon leader offered the conditions, he said in a difficult manner: "Then let's lend you two more people?"

The platoon leader was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's fine, that's fine, it's still a squad of soldiers who can fight. You saved me again this time!"

After the platoon leader said that, he ordered two people to bring them with him and left the recruits. He hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that Li Qinglin would regret it.

Xiao Liuzi watched him walk away, untied the burden, and said, "Brother, you have gained a lot this time. Do you choose one first?"

Li Qinglin looked down at the bag. There were quite a lot of things, including oceans, rings, watches, pens, and other messy things. Xiao Liuzi picked up a piece of gold from it and handed it to Li Qinglin. Li Qinglin looked at it and it turned out to be a gold pocket watch.

Since his rebirth, Li Qinglin has always estimated time by looking at the position of the sun. The shell of this watch should be 18k gold, and the English sign on the watch is a pocket watch made in Switzerland. Now a pocket watch that can be closely linked to modern civilization is placed in his hand, and Li Qinglin naturally loves it very much.

Putting the pocket watch into the pocket of the top on the left, Li Qinglin asked Xiao Liuzi to put away the two bags of spoils and said, "These things are all ready now. When the battle is over, find a chance to exchange them for money, and then give the brothers some points."

The Japanese army on the mountain was still firing, and the 1992 infantry artillery was also constantly firing shells down the mountain. The subsequent troops were constantly placing troops in firearms and deploying troops, and the replenished weapons and ammunition were also sent up.

Squad 1 was added again. Li Qinglin knew that a new round of attack was about to begin, so he ordered the veterans to teach the new recruits' battlefield experience as soon as possible. Xiao Liuzi said with a frown: "How to teach this? It depends on the posture that the war will be soon. What can be used for such a short time?"

Li Qinglin thought for a while and said to the recruits: "Don't you want to die on the battlefield in vain, do you? You can follow the veterans later. You can do whatever the veterans do."

Li Qinglin's first squad had the lowest casualty rate and had many military achievements. He was also very famous in the Second Battalion. Now that the squad leader Li Qinglin spoke, the recruits naturally believed it.

The 10th Division seemed to be trying to capture Qingshuizhang today, and their preparations were done very quickly.

At 4:30 pm, the howitzers of the 10th Division fired again, and a new round of attack began.
Chapter completed!
