Chapter 144: Special Forces' Fighting Ability

"The army likes to recruit some people with martial arts skills to enlist in the army, so I have met a lot of martial arts masters in the army: long fists, foot pokes, Tan legs, and most of them are Shaolin boxers. Gu Qing said.

"At that time, almost all the instructors who taught martial arts in the army practiced martial arts, and the army also specially invited masters from Shaolin Temple to be temporary instructors. ”

"There are several versions of military boxing in the army, I can't say more, but when I first joined the army, the military boxing I learned was changed according to the nine-style boxing method of the old red gate of South Shaolin, and the shots were all killer moves, but later it was not promoted by the whole army. ”

Wu Li nodded, he knows some of the old red door boxing in South Shaolin, it is a palm method that is streamlined for actual combat, to practice finger power and palm power, to hit wooden stakes every day, long-term practice, not only the palm power is super strong, breaking wood and breaking iron, hitting people and getting injured, but also practicing the ability to fight, once the enemy, it can be used immediately, without any obstacles.

This is a typical boxing technique that is to practice the method of fighting, and it is indeed very suitable for promotion in the army.

"Every year in the army, soldiers like me who have a foundation in martial arts are easy to take the lead, and in combat, we who basically fight to the end are those of us who practice martial arts. Gu Qing said.

"Later, I went to other troops, and I did see a lot of masters, but the army has regulations, I can't say the specifics, and even if you do, you can't get in touch with those people. ”

Wu Li is a little regretful, the vast majority of the troops will not take the time to train top fighting masters, the real masters, must be some special talents, with special status, it is really difficult for them to get in touch.

Gu Qing looked at Wu Li: "However, I can introduce you to a retired person, his name is Li Changsheng, he is in Luo City, he practices Baji, and he is an admirable person." ”

Wu Li was a little surprised and asked, "Will this Senior Li be willing to appear in front of the camera?"

Gu Qing nodded: "He has been interviewed a lot before, so it should be no problem." ”

Wu Li was relieved, and at the same time had some expectations, a person who could be said to be a master by a Baguazhang master like Gu Qing was very likely to be a master-level martial artist, so that he would have another chance to complete another system task.

"The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, we people who practice martial arts more or less have such feelings, although the gossip of my vein is not the Cheng faction, but I chose to join the army, and I was also affected by Cheng Gong's deeds. Gu Qing suddenly sighed.

Wu Li knew that the Cheng Gong in Gu Qing's mouth was Cheng Tinghua, the ancestor of the Cheng family's gossip.

Strictly speaking, there are only two true disciples of Baguazhang founder Dong Haichuan, Yin Fu and Cheng Tinghua, and the Baguazhang of these two people later became their own lineage, each with its own characteristics, forming the Yin School Bagua and the Cheng School Bagua, which are the two most important schools of Baguazhang.

Cheng Tinghua moved Jinghua with his gossip palm name back then, and even Cixi heard of his name and wanted to invite him to serve as his bodyguard, and specially sent someone to send a plaque with a gold medal of 'Festival of Filial Piety and Style' on Cheng Tinghua's mother's 70th birthday.

Later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, Cheng Tinghua couldn't bear the foreigners to insult innocent people, so he brazenly attacked, and finally died under dozens of foreign guns.

Similar to Cheng Tinghua's encounter with the big sword king five, also to resist external humiliation, and finally died under the gun.

Those who practice martial arts, as long as they know this history, rarely do not admire these two grandmasters.

Gu Qing has learned gossip since childhood, although he is not a descendant of the Cheng faction, he still admires Cheng Tinghua very much, and when he chose to join the army, he was also influenced by Cheng Tinghua's deeds.

"In my life, I have served the country and I think I am worthy of what I have learned, but compared with Li Changsheng, he is more worthy of the words "for the country and the people" than me. Gu Qing said in a deep voice.

Wu Li was a little curious: "What does this Senior Li do?"

Gu Qing: "You'll know when you go." ”

......

On June 16, Wu Li and the program team went to Luo City, which is close to the border of Yun Province, and Zhao Lixin stayed in Li City to accompany Master.

"Hello everyone, I am now in Luo City, Yun Province, this issue of Wuxing, I am going to visit a former military master, the other party is practicing Bajiquan. ”

Wu Li said to the camera in the car at this time that Li Changsheng's address is located on the outskirts of Luoshi, and there is still a drive to go.

"Wow, the best in the army?"

"Now those who practice martial arts may only have masters in the army, right?"

"Visiting the special forces?

"Heh, it's the theory that the special forces are beating everything, please be realistic, just in terms of fighting, the special forces may not even be as good as a national second-level athlete!"

", the special forces are practicing actual combat, you think it's a competition in the ring?"

"In reality, the martial arts instructors that the army is looking for are all invited combat athletes, if the military combat is really so powerful, why do you still invite combat athletes to be instructors?"

......

The director looked at the comment area, but he didn't expect Wu Li's words to cause a huge controversy, and he looked up at Wu Li.

"Wu Li, netizens have debates about who is stronger in the fighting ability of special forces and fighters, can you tell me your opinion?"

Wu Li thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll say the conclusion first, simply compared to fighting ability, it must be a combat athlete, and it is much stronger." ”

These words made another commotion in the comment area, and the comments were swiped quickly.

Wu Li continued: "Let me start with the simplest point, think about it, how many are the total number of special forces in the world? hundreds of thousands, or millions? And how many fighters can achieve results in fighting competitions and make a name for themselves? Just talk about the UFC, the UFC has signed less than 1,000 fighters so far, and even fewer can win championships; the reason why there are so few people is because fighting also needs talent, so just in terms of fighting, it can be seen from the number of people that the talent of fighters is far beyond that of special forces. ”

"You may say that some of the most elite special forces in the world, or some special combat teams that we don't know about, are also very few in number, and these people are also selected from the top of a million, and they are very talented, but I want to say that there is a specialization in the art industry, just like special forces can't run and run like professional athletes, and weightlifting can't compare to those weightlifting champions, and the same is true for martial arts. ”

"There are many subjects that special forces need to learn, shooting, driving, reconnaissance, use of electronic instruments, etc., and there is actually very little time left for fighting, even if we assume that the top special forces, their fighting talent is no worse than that of top fighters, but the time devoted by both sides is different, and fighters spend a lot of time practicing martial arts every day, and if they can't compare to special forces in combat, it would be too embarrassing. ”

"Wu Li, netizens are asking, what if it's actual combat?

Wu Li nodded: "There are actually many kinds of actual combat, and the actual combat that everyone thinks in their hearts should be unarmed, when both sides are on guard, and it is a normal environment, which is actually very close to fighting in the ring, but there are no rules and restrictions; ”

"The reason I just said is that there is a specialization in the art industry; the purpose of special forces training hand-to-hand combat is not to attack head-on, the principle of special forces should be that they will never use knives if they have guns, and they will never use fists if they have knives, and they will never go head-to-head with others if they can fight more or less, and they must minimize the attrition of combat personnel while maximizing the killing and injury of opponents; therefore, when it comes to one-on-one hand-to-hand duels with people, their experience, awareness, and skills are inferior to those of combat athletes, and even if they master some killing moves, I am afraid that they will be knocked out without a chance to use them. ”

"Of course, if we relax the conditions for actual combat and allow the use of weapons, even if it is only with knives, or put both sides in a complex environment where people can hide, detect and sneak attack, then combat athletes are far inferior to special forces; ”

Wu Li's words silenced many netizens in the live broadcast room who had high expectations for the ability of special forces, and over the years, influenced by movies and TV series or urban soldiers, many people had the impression that special forces were all-round masters.

"According to the anchor's meaning, traditional martial arts talk about actual combat every day, isn't it the same as the fighting skills of special forces, why is the actual combat of martial arts powerful, and the actual combat of special forces is not as good as professional fighting?"

This sentence resonated with many netizens:

"Yes, doesn't it mean that most of the fighting techniques in the army come from traditional martial arts?

"The anchor's previous position has always been: In actual combat, modern fighting is not as good as passing on martial arts, how can it be replaced by special forces in military combat?

"That's right, the military fighting skills practiced by special forces should be more combat-oriented. ”

"That's it, is this a double standard for the anchor?"

......

The director had some cold sweat on his forehead, and after seeing Wu Li, he hesitated to tell Wu Li about this problem.

Wu Li saw the director's hesitation and asked, "What did the netizens say?"

"Netizens said, why did you say before that traditional martial arts are better than modern fighting in terms of actual combat ability, and now you have replaced traditional martial arts with military fighting, but you have changed your position and think that modern fighting is more powerful?" said slowly.

Wu Li smiled when he heard this, did not hesitate, and said directly: "The point I expressed from beginning to end is that special forces are inferior to professional fighters in frontal hand-to-hand combat, not to express that the actual combat in military combat is not as good as modern fighting. ”

"If a special soldier spends a lot of time practicing martial arts in the army every day and has a lot of actual combat experience, and if he is allowed to fight to the death with a fighter with similar physical fitness, then the special soldier must have a higher chance of surviving, but can such a soldier who spends a lot of time practicing combat every day still be called a special soldier? ”

The director breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quietly gave Wu Li a thumbs up.

Wu Li continued: "One of the prerequisites for me to say that traditional martial arts are more practical than modern martial arts is that both sides are martial artists, there is not much difference in physical fitness, and they spend a lot of time practicing and studying martial arts. ”

Again, don't generalize when you look at the problem. ”
