Chapter 604: Bayonet for Broadsword?
Losing the first game, Tian Haoyuan's face was not surprised, let alone a little lost.
Because he had expected this result before he started the competition.
If there is anyone on Song Zheyuan's side who knows Liu Chenghe and the independent battalion best, it must be Tian Haoyuan.
For this detachment that developed from a guerrilla force, physical fitness was fundamental to their survival.
In the face of the Japanese purging again and again, and drilling around in the mountains all day long, and carrying all their belongings, this kind of long-distance running with weights is simply tailor-made for them.
However, Tian Haoyuan's analysis is really wrong, because since the day the independent battalion was officially formed, it has not been drilled in the mountains, and there is no situation of hiding from devils all over the mountains.
Liu Cheng paid attention to the physical fitness and endurance of his soldiers, and his main purpose was to increase the speed of marching and improve mobility.
But anyway, they still won the first game beautifully.
Liu Cheng walked in front of Tian Haoyuan with a faint smile on his face:
"Commander Tian, look, is it time for the next competition?"
Tian Haoyuan nodded lightly, and then asked:
"Battalion Commander Liu, your arrangement is to compete with bayonets in the next battle?"
Liu Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He discussed these three test subjects with Tian Haoyuan yesterday, what does he mean by asking this sentence at this time?
With his understanding of Tian Haoyuan, this person is by no means a person who has nothing to do and is bored, and he must have a purpose in asking this.
When the corner of his eye swept over the soldiers of the 29th Army standing on the playground, Liu Cheng instantly understood.
What is the 29th Army most famous for? Big sword!
The March of the Great Sword was based on the Battle of Xifengkou of the 29th Army.
Indeed, in that battle, the 29th Army did play the morale of the Chinese soldiers and the blood of the Chinese soldiers!
Although every victory won by the Chinese army in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won at a great price, with countless blood and lives, it gave a glimmer of hope to the Chinese people who were already on the verge of despair!
Otherwise, how could they have persevered in that catastrophe until the final victory came?
Tian Haoyuan saw Liu Cheng's strange appearance, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
The broadsword of the 29th Army is not a secret, but it seems that the commander of this independent battalion, who is known for his calmness, careful thinking, and combat bravery, did not expect it!
Just when the smile on the corner of Tian Haoyuan's mouth began to gradually enlarge, Liu Cheng suddenly ordered loudly to Hao Dabao in the distance:
"Tell someone to get protective gear and a training broadsword!"
Hao Dabao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy.
Who said that the broadsword can only be the exclusive domain of the 29th Army?
Don't forget, Hao Dabao is the company commander of the cavalry company, and the cavalry rushes to kill, and the main means of killing the enemy is the sharp saber in his hand.
And compared to the sabre of that kind of little devil, those cavalry company soldiers with enough strength preferred heavy broadswords.
Hao Dabao, who is a company commander, is even more so.
The eight soldiers who participated in the competition with him this time were selected from the few 20 veterans of the cavalry company, and the latest to join the independent battalion was also when they were in Wudou Township, and there were even two soldiers who joined the independent battalion when they were still in the juvenile battalion.
That's a real veteran.
When Tian Haoyuan heard Liu Cheng's words, his heart sank.
When he saw the wooden knives and protective gear used for training, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.
It seems that the outcome of this competition is really hard to say!
The independent battalion had apparently had this training all along, so it was likely that his advantage would not have existed.
The wooden knives used for training are all elm soaked in water, and there are several grooves on the body of the knife inlaid with iron blocks with counterweights, and the weight is basically the same as that of the real knife.
If this is slashed on the body, although it will not be life-threatening, it will also hurt the muscles and bones if it is not done well.
Tian Haoyuan squinted at Liu Cheng and said meaningfully:
"Battalion Commander Liu, it seems that you are also taking great pains!"
Liu Cheng knew that Tian Haoyuan was thinking too much, and immediately said:
"Don't misunderstand Commander Tian, the cavalry company below is mainly based on broadswords, so there has always been training; If you want to bother, it is indeed partly because the 29th Army fought really well in the Battle of Xifengkou, and we have some elements of imitation. ”
Commander Tian was very comfortable, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more.
After the eighteen soldiers put on their protective gear, Tian Haoyuan immediately announced the start of the competition.
He also wanted to see what kind of strength these soldiers under Liu Cheng had in the fighting method of fighting with a big sword.
Perhaps, there will be something worth learning from him.
Tian Haoyuan is not the kind of person who only cares about climbing up by himself, and he is never jealous of his ability.
If Liu Cheng's training method is really worth learning from him, then he will definitely humbly ask for advice and further improve the soldier's deficiencies in sword skills.
Because he knows very well in his heart that every bit of progress of the soldiers will be the capital to survive on the battlefield in the future.
Compared with those commanders who only care about their own promotion, Tian Haoyuan is definitely a good person.
Because he cares about the lives of his soldiers, he can do whatever it takes to fight for them a greater chance of survival.
At the same time, in the large and small alleys of Taolin City, some "people" who seemed to be just lounging were quietly approaching one of the courtyards.
Duan Jinghe, in accordance with Liu Cheng's order, immediately arrested a few leaders who instigated the instigation after returning and immediately interrogated.
These people are just gangsters who take money to do things, how can they have any principles and persistence?
Before the stick could hit them, he had already told the truth.
This time, Duan Jinghe learned to be obedient, he did not come to arrest people with great fanfare, but asked forty or fifty soldiers to change into the clothes of ordinary people, disperse and approach quietly.
In that courtyard, the man in the hat who had scolded the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man before was sitting in a room with his hands retracted, muttering in a whisper:
"What the hell is this called? Let Lao Tzu do such a big thing, and no one will send it to Lao Tzu? That girl must be deliberately rectifying Lao Tzu, if she can't complete the task this time, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will surrender directly, and tell everything she knows, and she will definitely be able to exchange her life for a life, right? When the time comes, Lao Tzu will go directly to Mukden and find the Japanese to say it again, at least he can be an official and a half-job, which is better than being angry under the hands of that girl! ”
As he was muttering, the corner of the hat man's eyes suddenly twitched, and he reached out to pull out the shell gun pinned to his waist.
"Don't move! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will collapse you directly! ”
