The new Seventh Company is stationed, outside the warehouse in the West Courtyard.

Sitting on the small bench, Zhao Shixun held a bud in both hands and rubbed it vigorously. In one of the baskets under his hand, the golden and plump buds have been slowly rubbed into the basket.

The old immortal sat leisurely opposite Zhao Shixun, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, while looking at Zhao Shixun opposite with a smile.

"Turtle son, sir, you rub this bud very fast, can't you see that you have also done farm work before?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun stopped what he was doing and thought for a moment.

"When I was a child in the Northeast, our family was also a family of Zhuang households. My family has dozens of acres of good land, and every autumn I go back with my mother and uncles to collect ......the land, and now ...... have given birth to my hands. ”

Some good memories of the past came to his heart, making Zhao Shixun slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it.

"Old immortal, we are all in the vanguard group now, there are people to provide food and drink, what are you doing with all these buds?"

After rubbing the last bud in his hand, Zhao Shixun raised his head and looked at the old immortal in the mist, and asked slightly puzzled.

He took a deep breath and exhaled a thick smoke ring. The old immortal grabbed a handful of buds in the basket, held it up in front of Zhao Shixun and said:

"What is this? Grain! In the past few days, I have understood that the life of the Eighth Route Army is not easy. Sometimes two meals a day are not enough, and as far as the amount of training you set for the brothers, the melon babies can eat it. ”

"Although we have come to the pioneer group, but I am still a little bit old and immortal in the past, and yesterday I exchanged our remaining millet with the villagers for a big bag of bud rice. Brothers, you can't always be hungry when you fight devils, right? It's better to ask for others than for yourself, I'll prepare some food for you, and open a small stove for the brothers of the Seventh Company every once in a while to make up for it, don't you say yes, hehe. ”

After listening to the old immortal's explanation, Zhao Shixun shook his head helplessly, pointing at the other party and not knowing what to say.

"Hehe...... I have convinced you of the old immortal, and you are still making your own little calculations here. You, you're ....... ”

"By the way, sir, we've been here for a few days, what do you think of this place?"

Putting aside the basket in front of him, the old immortal looked at Zhao Shixun and asked leisurely.

Suddenly hearing the old immortal's question, Zhao Shixun was slightly stunned. He didn't answer directly, but asked back.

"What do you think?"

When he was asked back, the old immortal put away his pipe and said thoughtfully:

"Except for the food and clothing, the old man and I live well, and the chiefs are quite easy-going, and there is no shelf. The villagers' attitude towards us is also very good, at least they don't run or hide when they see us. ”

"Hehe, you still observe very carefully, you really don't see it."

"Hehe...... it's okay, we've been carrying the big bolt for half a lifetime, and this difference is still felt."

A mouthful of big yellow teeth leaked out, and the old immortal touched his knee embarrassedly.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. In the morning, Instructor Zhou sent a large military uniform for you to change into, and I will bring it to you. Yesterday he saw that you were not wearing a military uniform, so he asked what was the matter, and I said that the military uniform issued was too small, and you didn't wear it if you were uncomfortable. ”

After a while, the old immortal brought over a gray cloth military uniform and handed it to Zhao Shixun.

Looking at the military uniform in his hand, Zhao Shixun's heart warmed slightly, and he stood up and walked into the house.

"Company Commander Zhao! …… Company Commander Zhao ....... ”

As soon as he changed his clothes and walked out of the house, Zhao Shixun happened to see a young soldier of the Eighth Route Army running over quickly, shouting all the way.

"I'm here! Can I help you? ”

Seeing Zhao Shixun, the young soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over, snapped and saluted and said:

"Company Commander Zhao, the head of the regiment asked me to inform you to go to the conference room for a meeting immediately."

"Oh, isn't there still more than half an hour before the meeting begins?"

"The head of the regiment said that the meeting is early, so you must hurry over."

"Okay, I'll go over here."

……

Shipangou is a small and inconspicuous mountain village in the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, named after the hill in the northeast of the village that resembles a millstone. Due to the lack of arable land available around the village, there are fewer than 100 households in Shipan Village. After the pioneer regiment arrived here, the villagers vacated more than a dozen courtyards for the soldiers to live in, and after the pioneer regiment built several rows of barracks along the camp by itself, the less than 700 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army finally had a place to stay.

The village is small, and the camp of the pioneer regiment occupies a third of the area. Not far out of the courtyard, turning an alley is the courtyard where the regiment headquarters is located. The regimental headquarters is located on the periphery of Shipan Village, next to the barracks of the first battalion, and the soldiers of the first battalion are conducting combat training outside the courtyard of the regiment headquarters under the leadership of deputy battalion commander Xu Dongsheng.

Xu Dongsheng used to be a political cadre and did not have much military experience. After the Pioneer Regiment suffered heavy losses, in line with the purpose of pulling out the big man in the army, he was directly promoted from political work officer to deputy battalion commander, and cooperated with the battalion commander in the training of new recruits.

Since the Eighth Route Army had been short of ammunition, it attached great importance to close-quarters assassination combat training. However, due to the backwardness of China's metallurgical industry, it has not been possible to mass-produce qualified bayonets. And for the Eighth Route Army, whose equipment basically relied on capture, a qualified bayonet became a luxury. The Pioneer Regiment had nearly 1,000 rifles when it set out, but there were less than 450 bayonets that were qualified to be used! For those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who did not have a qualified bayonet to use, they could only solve the problem of close combat with a large knife in their hands.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there was no unified system for Chinese broadswords, but the Wuji knife of the 29th Army and the Jin-made system broadsword used by the Northwest Army were the most representative, the length of the two broadswords was basically the same, the length of the knife body was about 66 cm, the handle of the knife was longer, generally about 30 cm, held in both hands, the total length was about 95 cm, and it would not exceed 1 meter. The Japanese Army's Type 38 rifle, after being loaded with bayonets, is nearly 1.7 meters long, and the threat range is far greater than that of a broadsword less than one meter long. The anti-Japanese war used broadswords to fight bayonets, which seemed to be weaker

In order to make up for the shortcomings of the broadsword against the bayonet, the Northwest Army, which is the most skilled in the national army, specially created a set of sword-breaking methods to deal with the Japanese army.

"Breaking the Blade Song" is Ma Fengtu's knife technique song recipe written in the Northwest Army, and the song recipe of "Breaking the Edge Eight Blades" has a total of eight sentences, one sentence and one knife: "Split the blade head-on, drop your hand and wave it horizontally to block the waist." The wind swept the autumn leaves, and the enemy could not escape. The stride is like a thunderstorm, and the chain of willows is cut obliquely. The left and right protection rely on the quick take, and the step is changed to the protruding bayonet.

These eight sentences seem difficult to understand, but they are actually very simple, all of them are drawn from martial arts and are composed of a few moves that are most conducive to actual combat, which are very suitable for ordinary soldiers who have no martial arts foundation to learn.

The specific steps to kill the enemy with this knife method are very simple. Start by holding a large knife in both hands, with the tip of the knife pointing downwards at the enemy. When the devil's bayonet in front of him stabbed over, he slammed the knife up. The bayonet that picks off the devil or the bayonet that picks the devil is on the head at this time, because it is provoked upwards, so the knife is on the head, so at this time, you can take advantage of the situation to chop a knife, and you can basically solve the serious injury of the devil in front of you. If you cooperate with footwork, use the tip of the knife to push away the devil's bayonet left and right while holding the knife with both hands to stab, and the lethality will be greater.

However, this knife method can only be used in an emergency situation without a bayonet, although the seemingly powerful actual combat ability is still weaker than the direct use of a bayonet to stab. And except for the Northwest Army, few other Chinese armies can play well.

At this time, more than 100 recruits of the Eighth Route Army armed with broadswords were standing in several rows, watching intently as Company Commander Yang showed everyone how he used broadswords to deal with devils' bayonets in white-knuckle battles.

In the field, Xu Dongsheng held a wooden gun in his hand and constantly launched stabbing attacks on Yang Chenghu in front of him. Yang Chenghu used the blade-breaking knife method to defuse Xu Dongsheng's attack while using the wooden knife in his hand to launch a continuous counterattack, causing Xu Dongsheng to retreat again and again.

Although it was only a wooden knife, it was danced by Yang Chenghu, which aroused the shouts of the soldiers.

When he walked to the sidelines and passed by, Zhao Shixun, in line with the unique curiosity of people who practice martial arts, watched Yang Chenghu's demonstration on the sidelines for a short while. When Zhao Shixun was in Rehe, he had seen a sword master of the 29th Army Broadsword Team, so he could see Yang Chenghu's sword skills at a glance.

"Split the blade head-on, drop your hand and swing it horizontally to block the waist. The wind swept the autumn leaves, and the enemy could not escape. The stride is like a thunderstorm, and the chain of willows is cut obliquely. The left and right protection rely on the quick take, and the step is changed to the protruding bayonet. ”

Yang Chenghu, who was improvised in his demonstration, heard someone read out aloud the number of his knife techniques, and immediately put away the knife and turned around.

Zhao Shixun was very tall, and Yang Chenghu saw him standing behind the recruits at a glance.

Looking at each other, Zhao Shixun smiled slightly to show his friendliness and respect. But Yang Chenghu's pupils shrank, and his face twitched without smiling.

After watching the excitement, Zhao Shixun suddenly remembered that he was going to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the regiment headquarters behind him.

"Zhao Shixun, right, I heard that you used to come out of the guard battalion of the Third Army?"

Suddenly hearing someone shouting his name and the old army, Zhao Shixun stopped and turned around, looking at the other party quietly.

"Well, I'm from the Third Army."

Hearing this, he looked at the sun in the sky, and Yang Chenghu walked through the crowd with a knife.

"You also know the Northwest Army's Blade-Breaking Knife Technique?"

"I don't know how to talk about it, I just know a little bit about it."

"Seeing that you carry a big blade on your back every day, you should also be a practitioner. They are all martial arts practitioners, so let's talk about it. ”

Hearing this, he frowned slightly, and Zhao Shixun heard the unkindness in the other party's tone. Could it be that I had a holiday with this kid? After thinking for a while, Zhao Shixun suddenly remembered that at the welcome party on the day he came, this kid immediately blackened his face after introducing himself. Afterwards, I heard Zhou Yu say that this kid seems to have a grudge against ...... national army.

…… To be continued, thank you all for your support.
