Chapter 257: Preparing for War
On another day, on the flat open ground next to the station, the soldiers of the quartermaster department were practicing broadswords. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hundreds of figures continued to flicker and move in the earth-shattering roar, and hundreds of large knives slashed and slashed in their hands.
The big sword skills on the battlefield are not complicated, but they are extremely concise and easy to learn, but every soldier practices very seriously, and the sweat of the forehead is pouring down.
The so-called lack of learning and then knowledge is the same after going to the battlefield.
The soldiers of the quartermaster department really realized from their hearts that it is necessary to be brave and not afraid of death on the battlefield, but sometimes if the brain can turn a little faster and learn more military skills, they can really kill more devils and save their lives.
Huo Xiaoshan asked them to learn to use all kinds of firearms as much as possible, such as rifles, box guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and even grenadiers.
And now Huo Xiaoshan is focusing on letting the soldiers practice the big knife.
The broadswords they used were sent by the Northwest Army yesterday afternoon.
The reason why Huo Xiaoshan let the soldiers practice the big sword was because he had a conversation with the officer of the visiting Northwest Army.
That officer turned out to be a deputy chief of staff of the 31st Division of the Northwest Army stationed in Taierzhuang.
He came here for two purposes, one was to borrow the war defense artillery, and the other was really to represent their division commander to see these anti-Japanese heroes of the Quartermaster Department.
Now that the person who guarded the war and anti-artillery veterans said was in charge has returned, this matter can naturally be discussed.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't make his own decisions about this matter, so he called Zheng Youjian and sat down with the officer of the Northwest Army to discuss.
The chief of staff of the Northwest Army naturally knew that there had to be a good reason to borrow someone else's anti-aircraft artillery, so he first talked about the current battlefield situation.
The Japanese army on the southern front has stopped at the Huai River line and is unable to go north, while the Japanese army in the south wants to occupy Xuzhou after taking Taierzhuang, take the Longhai line, and then enter Henan to capture Wuhan, so as to end the war.
Taierzhuang's position in this battle was very important, and their 31st Division had already received an order to defend Taierzhuang.
The chief of staff's remarks immediately made Huo Xiaoshan think that with the advantage of the Japanese army's firepower, Taierzhuang would definitely have a difficult urban siege or street battle, so judging from the situation of the houses in Taierzhuang when he arrived at the military station, hand-to-hand combat must be indispensable.
This immediately reminded Huo Xiaoshan of the first battle he had in the quartermaster department, in the battle to defend the gun depot in Chuxian, the rifle was too long, and the best weapons should be box guns, broadswords and grenades.
It must be too late to cast a broadsword now, so he naturally thought of the Northwest Army, so he proposed that it would be okay to give the battle defense artillery to the Northwest Army, but the Northwest Army would give everyone in their quartermaster department a broadsword.
After Huo Xiaoshan said his above analysis and proposed to exchange the battle defense cannon for the big knife, Zheng Youjian still didn't want to agree, Huo Xiaoshan said that if you don't agree to have a white-knuckle battle in the future, then you will go forward and fight with a bayonet.
Zheng Youjian also felt that Huo Xiaoshan's idea of being anxious to get a big knife was right, as for Huo Xiaoshan saying that he would fight the bayonet, he knew that it was a joke, and there were priorities, although he felt that it was definitely not appropriate to exchange a cannon for a knife, but he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, the battle situation is tense, and the settlement has been completed in the afternoon.
Although the anti-war artillery was rubber, the car could be pulled away as soon as it was pulled, and the Northwest Army was already famous for its good use of broadswords, which were limited in stock, but it was not difficult to raise more than 100 broadswords, so they sent people to send them that afternoon.
The so-called heroes cherish each other, the Northwest Army, which already has a good martial arts tradition, heard that these anti-Japanese heroes in the Quartermaster Department also wanted to practice broadswords, and when they delivered knives in the afternoon, the chief of staff directly brought three instructors to Huo Xiaoshan and them.
But how can Huo Xiaoshan teach the soldiers of the Quartermaster Department to practice big swords, and how can he use the instructor?
When Huo Xiaoshan practiced the broadsword in front of the soldiers of the quartermaster's office, all the people in the Northwest Army were stunned, because what Huo Xiaoshan practiced was the most authentic Eight Swords.
Huo Xiaoshan rarely practiced martial arts in public, and the only time he practiced a set of boxing techniques for the fighters of the Northeast Anti-United Nations when he was in the secret camp of the Northeast Anti-United Nations, but that time he deliberately restrained his strength, and only showed his hand when he was fighting with the anti-United Nations fighters.
But this time it was different, in order to let the soldiers of the quartermaster department get the essence of the knife as soon as possible, he no longer concealed his kung fu, and there must be a sound when he exerted his strength, and under his own recitation of the knife trick, he held the big blade with the wide back and thick back of the knife, and showed the essence of the eight knives of the broken blade vividly.
"Split the blade head-on, drop your hand and swing it horizontally to block the waist
The wind swept away the fallen leaves, and it was difficult to escape from the thousands of troops
The stride is like a thunderstorm, and the chain of willows is cut obliquely
Left and right protection by quick take, move to change the shape of the protrusion bayonet"
Fluttering like an eagle, calm as a bear, twenty-five slashing movements, I saw that the ground that had been tamped was actually trampled out by him!
That kind of knife movement has the decisiveness to hurt people and only get back when the knife sees the blood, so that the people of the Northwest Army present actually have an illusion, thinking that the person dancing the knife in front of them is a person who has been immersed in knife techniques for many years, but the ruthlessness but soberly reminds everyone that this is a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles and drunk the blood of the enemy!
This Eight Swords of Breaking the Edge was originally created by Huo Xiaoshan's father Huo Yuan, Huo Xiaoshan naturally learned from his father when he was in Tianjin, with Huo Xiaoshan's martial arts attainments and the life and death of the battlefield in the past two years, it would be strange if someone could make this set of Eight Swords of Breaking the Edge better than him.
The officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army were proud of this set of breaking blades and eight knives, but now they were terrified, it turned out that they thought they had practiced well, but after reading other people's swordsmanship, they knew that they had learned something inadequate.
Some even thought that Huo Xiaoshan had practiced wrong in some places at first, and wanted to step forward to give Huo Xiaoshan some guidance, but after pondering for a while, they realized that it was themselves who were wrong!
How can this not shock the heroes of the Northwest!
It turned out that the legendary Huo Xiaoshan of the Quartermaster Department could use a dagger to stab thirty-eight devils to death in the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, and it turned out that it was also true that he picked eighteen devils with a bayonet!
There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, no wonder the little-known logistics soldiers of the Quartermaster Department can achieve such impressive results in the battle with the Japanese army!
When a literati sees a good hand in an article, he wants to be elegant, and a martial artist also has itchy hands when he sees a martial arts master, which is a common disease of people.
The instructor of the Northwest Army saw that Huo Xiaoshan had finished the drill, so he didn't care that Huo Xiaoshan was teaching the soldiers to practice knives, so they came up to ask Huo Xiaoshan about the inheritance of his master, Huo Xiaoshan just smiled, but never mentioned his father Huo Yuan.
Only Shen Chong knew here that Huo Xiaoshan and the Northwest Army had a deep relationship, but Shen Chong saw that Huo Xiaoshan didn't want to talk about it, so he naturally didn't say anything.
Seeing that Huo Xiaoshan didn't want to say anything, the people of the Northwest Army had no choice but to give up, but they proposed to fight with Huo Xiaoshan.
Huo Xiaoshan saw that he really couldn't shirk it, so he fought three times in a row with the three Northwest Army swordsmen who came here this time, and used the same eight blades, but they were all defeated by Huo Xiaoshan.
The reason is simple, first, they definitely don't have Huo Xiaoshan's deep understanding of the Eight Swords, and second, they don't have Huo Xiaoshan's fast knife speed.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Quartermaster Department were indeed seizing the time to train the soldiers, they didn't bother anymore, but after dragging the two battle defense guns in a car, they began to talk about new discoveries in the Northwest Army.
"Why didn't you mention that yesterday?" Shen Chong walked up to Huo Xiaoshan and asked.
With Shen Chong's current martial arts sword technique, it is also at the instructor level, and he is now using his mother's katana, which has his own inheritance, so he does not practice with the soldiers.
The thing he said naturally meant that Huo Xiaoshan was not in front of the Northwest Army to inherit his sword technique.
Huo Xiaoshan watched the soldiers practice knives, and said: "Dad has too many old things in the Northwest Army, if I mention it, I can't teach our people here to practice broadswords with peace of mind, time is too tight to fight devils, let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future."
