Chapter 660: Adventure?
Dandong City, located on the bank of the Yalu River, is an important port city in Liaoning Province. This is not only because Dandong is one of the few port cities in Northeast China, but also because it is an extremely important communication channel between China and North Korea.
The Yalu River Bridge in Dandong is an important transportation channel between the two places.
The so-called Yalu River Bridge was called the Yalu River Broken Bridge in later generations, and it was also a relatively famous bridge in later generations. The broken bridge was originally the first bridge on the Yalu River, which was built in 1909, with a length of 944.2 meters, a width of 11 meters, 12 holes, the fourth hole from the square side is the opening and closing beam, with the fourth pier as the axis, it can rotate 90 Β°, which is convenient for passing ships to navigate.
The history of this bridge is earlier, in 1909, in order to plunder China, the Japanese forcibly built this bridge on the Yalu River, construction started in May 1909, completed in October 1911, for the then colonial agency of the Japanese Governor-General's Office Railway Bureau in Xian, built as a railway bridge.
It was not until 1943 that a second railway bridge was built 100 meters upstream of the bridgeββββββ and like the Yalu River Bridge, this bridge was built by the Japanese.
Originally, because of Japan's strong dominance in Tohoku in the past, the Japanese government has always been responsible for this bridge. But since the defeat in the Battle of Shandong and the Japanese had to withdraw from the Northeast, the position of this bridge has become somewhat awkward.
First of all, the bridge was forcibly built by the Japanese, which is somewhat unreasonable in legal terms. At the beginning, China's strength was weak, so naturally it didn't matter. But now that the status of the two sides is reversed, the situation has changed to a greater or lesser extent.
At least, it turned out to be something illegal. It can't be legal anymore.
But on the other hand, the bridge was indeed built by the Japanese, and the bridge also played an extremely important role in the communication between Northeast China and North Korea. Even Yan Shao was very greedy for this bridge, and asked him to tear down the bridge, Yan Shao was really distressed.
So after a series of communications, the bridge was finally divided equally between China and Japan. Each shared half of the bridge. At this point, the bridge was finally preserved, and the Japanese. At least you don't have to blow up the bridge yourself, although this is a very humiliating thing in the eyes of the Japanese...
Then...
As a result of the construction of the bridge, there has been an increase in exchanges between the two countries.
But it doesn't matter, what really matters...
Relations between China and Japan are not friendly ...
Although because of the trade in commerce. Dandong City has gradually become prosperous. Although it is not as good as Shenyang, the provincial capital, and Dalian, the most important port city, or Fushun, which is known as the coal capital of New China, Dandong is still a very important city in Liaoning...
Similarly, as an important channel of communication between the Northeast and North Korea, both sides will definitely need to leave some soldiers to guard the bridge.
If so, it's nothing. But if both parties don't have a good impression of each other, things will be a bit fatal. Over the past few years. There have been many conflicts between China and Japan, especially on the bridge, and there have been many frictions, although it has not yet reached the point of shooting, but it is very common to wave fists between each other...
It's just different from Yan Shao's era, in Yan Shao's era, because they couldn't even eat, the soldiers were obviously malnourished, and they were even more skinny, even if the soldiers were much taller than the Japanese soldiers, but it was still easy to suffer in white-knuckle combat, not only because of training.
Think about it, if a soldier is so thin that only bones are left, how can he compete with a soldier who is short but has a very strong body? The result is bound to be a loss, if you are hungry and don't even have the strength, even if you fight ten at a time, it is not impossible.
The reason why China often suffered defeats in battles with the Japanese in later generations was not only because of problems with industry, training, equipment and morale, but also because of a very important reason.
The people take food as the sky, and they can't eat enough, how do you let the soldiers fight?
As for where all the food has gone, this really needs to be 'hehe'...
However, this era is different, due to the improvement of national strength, although in many places the people do not eat very well, but at least it is not a luxury to have enough food. Especially in the military, with a high salary of 10 yuan, it is natural that the food on weekdays will not be bad...
As a result, when facing the Japanese, the officers and men of the Wehrmacht not only had an advantage in height, but also had a great advantage in physical fitness...
And because there is a lot of friction, the commanders on both sides seem to know this, and other training will naturally not fall behind when training soldiers, but fist and foot kung fu and white-knuckle combat are focused on training, so they also have real fire with each other, but the advantage of the Wehrmacht in physical fitness is still too big after all, as a result...
Almost every time, it was the Japanese soldiers who suffered losses, and they were able to gain the upper hand very few times.
And every time he looked at the Wehrmacht soldiers on the opposite side, showing off their might and looking triumphant, the Japanese soldiers who had suffered losses naturally felt very angry.
At first, you may be able to endure it a little, but after a long time...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
Another defeat in the contest, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, looking at the direction of China on the other side of the bridge, those Chinese soldiers who looked a little wolf, but showed off their might, the eyes of the Japanese soldiers were full of anger.
"Ishikawa-kun, are we just looking at those Chinese so arrogant!"
Walking up to one of the highest-ranking officers in the crowd, a soldier said angrily.
A few years ago, they had flaunted their might on Chinese soil, but now they had suddenly fallen to the ground. Although there are two places, North Korea and Taiwan, even if the Northeast is lost, it does not make Japan too painful. Normal trade with China also enabled Japan to get what it needed from China.
It's just that, looking at the triumphant looks of those Chinese on the other side, thinking about how many years ago they used to tremble under their bayonets. This kind of psychological gap is not something that every Japanese person can bear, at least it is unlikely that it will be in front of them
But this is already very good, at least at this time Japan is not like later, after years of experiencing a series of distorted education, treating the Chinese as inferior to them. If that's the case, I'm afraid these Japanese people will be even more unacceptable.
And when he heard the words, he looked at the proud look of the Chinese on the other side. A hint of humiliation flashed in the officer's eyes of the officer, and anger flashed...
After glaring at the other side fiercely, Ishikawa didn't say much. Ignoring the shouting subordinates, they turned away from the bridge, leaving only the soldiers to peep at each other...
Because he was also involved in the brawl, Ishikawa was naturally a wolf. And his appearance is in the eyes of passers-by. Also...
How to say, the eyes of the Japanese residents who had just moved to Korea flashed with surprise, and it was obvious that they did not know how the invincible Imperial Army could become like this. And those Japanese who have lived in Korea for a long time and know more about this kind of thing are silent, after all, the soldiers of their own country's army have lost a fight with others, and it is definitely not a matter of saying it with a face.
As for those Koreans who were under their rule, look at Ishikawa. Although he didn't say much on the surface, he was actually gloating in private.
At this time, North Korea did not have a thorough plan. Naturally, he is very resentful of the Japanese. It's just that the Japanese suppressed North Korea very strongly, so these Koreans didn't dare to oppose it openly at all, and could only gloat in private.
About half an hour later, Ishikawa arrived at the headquarters of their brigade.
"Your Excellency!"
Looking at the captain who was busy inside, Ishikawa saluted.
"Ishikawa-kun, why are you here?" Saying this, he raised his head and looked at the appearance of the wolf bèi on Ishikawa's body, Matsushita was taken aback at first, but quickly reacted. "What, lost again?"
"It's my incompetence that didn't fight for the Imperial Army...", Ishikawa lowered his head.
Silence, Matsushita didn't say anything.
What to say? Scolding or angry horses? In the past few years, when the Japanese army competed with the Chinese, there were few times when it did not suffer losses, and if it really wanted to be reprimanded, wouldn't it be the entire brigade and the entire wing to be reprimanded, so even Matsushita didn't know what to say...
At the beginning, he didn't think about letting his subordinates carry forward the spirit of bushido, or use kendo or karate to teach each other. But soon the Japanese and Korean Fronts stationed in Korea discovered that the Wehrmacht soldiers stationed on the bridge were using many shadows of Chinese martial arts in addition to the fighting skills taught to them by the army...
Unlike later generations, the martial arts of this era were not lost much due to large-scale wars. After all, since the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 to the period when the Japanese army occupied the Northeast, China has been in a very chaotic period of civil war.
And in this era, because it was only two years of chaos, there was a relationship between Yan Shao and the situation was very stable. Of course, this is not important, the most important thing is the development of the economy...
Economy...
In the past in China, there were many ways to make money from various martial arts halls or sects, but one of the more important ones was to accept apprentices. After the establishment of the national government, because of the development of commercial consciousness, there are even some martial arts halls that simply charge tuition fees to teach apprenticesββββββ to put it simply, it is similar to the martial arts schools of later generations, and compared with the current one, the model is more commercial...
The problem is that there are so many martial arts halls or sects, who knows which school has better fighting skills? At least if you look at it alone, the common people will never be able to see it, so there is only one of the easiest ways for those enthusiastic young people who want to learn martial arts to understand it in a more intuitive way, and this way is also a way that has been passed down in China for hundreds of yearsββββββ kicking the gym...
Kicking the gym can be said to be an ancient way that has been passed down in China for many years. The kicking hall comes from Cantonese, which is the "smashing field" in Mandarin. The word "kicking hall" in Cantonese originally referred to martial arts. is to go to the martial arts hall to provoke, and the behavior must talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes and the rules of the market. Under open and fair circumstances, the results of victory and defeat that occur after confrontation and competition will be recognized by everyone.
With this way of smashing the field, it is easy to see which martial arts gym has stronger kung fu, and similarly, the martial arts gym with a strong kick hall is also easier to receive apprentices...
But...
Since it's all said to be the traditional way. Then this approach will definitely be a little less harmonious with the new era. In particular, the impact of such a thing as a kicking hall on law and order is too deep, and if it was in the chaotic era of the past, of course, it was nothing, but after the establishment of the national government. The first two years may not have been much of a problem as the law and order improved, but as the position of the national government became more secure, the more unacceptable it became for the government to do such a challenge.
Of course. It's not a particularly illegal thing anyway. And it's not a challenge to the authority of the government, so this kind of behavior is not punished too severely, but it is still necessary to be detained for half a month to a month...
As a result, in the beginning, almost every city police station was full...
Later, those people in the martial arts hall were also honest, more precisely, they learned to be smart, so the way of smashing the field gradually disappeared without a trace along with many ancient inheritances. But after all, they still have to live a mixed life, so they soon find a new way...
The Ring Match...
Martial arts halls in almost every city have been united. A kind of fighting tournament is held, and the participants can be local martial arts gyms. You can also sign up freely, but that's the way it is.
At the same time, it is also divided into bare hands and equipment, etc., as for the weight class or something, this division is relatively rough. After all, if you run the rivers and lakes, the other party will not compare the weight with you first.
And the open form of the ring competition can also intuitively let the people of the whole city see which one is the real thing.
In the beginning, it was relatively rough because it had just been held. But as mentioned earlier, because of economic development, the business atmosphere in China is very strong now. The business consciousness of the Chinese people has also become very developed, and soon some businesses saw the business opportunities of this kind of competition, so soon there were businesses to sponsor this kind of ring competition, and after sponsorship, the organizer can also make the scale of the ring game larger, and sometimes even in the gymnasium...
And so on, in later years, this kind of fighting competition has become more and more standardized, and the shape is similar to the free fighting of later generations...
After a long time, the so-called flower fist embroidered legs are naturally a little untenable, and those martial arts halls that have no ability are almost eliminated by the marketββββββ now it is a market economy, and no one goes to the martial arts halls that can't be played...
If we continue to develop like this, we may not be able to develop similar to K1 one day.
And when it came to the Japanese, the Wehrmacht apparently found that sometimes fists were better than bullets, because war had not yet broken out between the two sides, and it would be easy to cause trouble if they used weapons. Although the officers below are eager to fight, if they cause trouble, they should clean up the same.
Unlike the Japanese, the Wehrmacht does not follow the orders of their superiors like the Japanese, and has its own ideas.
Similarly, the so-called lower gram is difficult to detect in the Wehrmacht.
Therefore, in order to be able to win the opposite Oriental dwarf in fists and feet, the national defense forces stationed on the Sino-North Korean border have not only increased their combat training, but also brought some martial arts masters from the mainlandββββββ which are different from those flower fist embroidery legs, which are left after being eliminated by the market, even if they have some flower boxing embroidered legs in the past, after a few years, they have become accustomed to the situation under the market economy...
Therefore, almost all of the martial arts they teach are more practical meaning...
It's been a long time, maybe there is indeed karate or something on the other side, but it's not an opponent for the Wehrmacht officers and soldiers...
At the same time, after looking at Matsushita's appearance and gritting his teeth, Ishikawa said loudly. "Your Excellency, do we really want to watch the Chinese show off their might on the other side like this?!"
"........." Listening to Ishikawa's words, Matsushita was silent for a moment.
As a soldier, how could Panasonic be willing to do this, but what could he do now...
After half a sound, Panasonic could only let out a long sigh in front of his subordinates, and then there was a little weakness. "Otherwise, what can we do..."
Seeing that his commander was so weak, Ishikawa was naturally very angry.
But he also knew that mere anger was useless, so he quickly spoke his mind out loud.
Listening to Ishikawa's narration, Matsushita seemed a little surprised, but in Ishikawa's passionate voice, Matsushita's attitude seemed a little shaken.
Gradually, Panasonic's attitude really wavered.
About half an hour later, Ishikawa left Panasonic's room with an excited face, and at the same time, after some thoughts, Matsushita grabbed the phone on the table, and then dialed the phone...
"Hey, is it Ota-kun, yes, it's me, Panasonic, I have something I want to discuss with you..."
Although in Matsushita's opinion, Ishikawa's building yì is a bit risky, no, very risky to be exact, but as a soldier, this Matsushita is willing to take a risk...
Education in Japan is very strange, and perhaps it has something to do with the fact that it is an island country, so the people of this country are very aggressive. Especially those soldiers, one by one is very extreme.
After a series of private tandems, two days later, on the night, a group of junior officers, with the support of a few high-ranking generals, crossed the Yalu River by boat at night and launched an attack on the city of Dandong on the other side of the Yalu River... (To be continued......)
