Chapter 35 You're the instructor? I'm not convinced!
"drink!"
"ha!"
"kill!"
On the training field, more than fifty new recruits practiced under the personal guidance of Zhao Dabao.
Although the new recruits were clumsy, their morale was high, and their howls, like wolves and tigers, attracted many veterans to squat under the tree roots to watch.
Wang Yousheng took a look and found that Zhang Shan was also among the new recruits. He found it strange that Zhang Shan was a veteran who had been in the army for three years. Why was he training with the new recruits?
What Wang Yousheng found even stranger was that the bayonet fighting tactics being trained by the new recruits were still the Eighth Route Army's copy of the Japanese tactics.
In other words, his bayonet fighting tactics were not adopted by new recruits.
Wang Yousheng followed Li Yunlong to the training ground. Li Yunlong waved and said, "Zhao Dabao, stop training!"
Zhao Dabao turned his head sharply, and when he saw that it was Li Yunlong, he withdrew his stance.
He approached Li Yunlong, stood at attention, and reported, "Commander Li, Zhao Dabao from the First Company of the First Battalion is reporting for duty."
Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction and said solemnly, "I've been looking for you. Come, come, let me introduce you to someone."
As he spoke, Li Yunlong glanced at Wang Yousheng and said, "His name is Wang Yousheng. This kid is good at bayonet fighting. He'll be your deputy from now on and teach the new comrades how to fight with bayonets."
"Um?"
Zhao Dabao's gaze fell on Wang Yousheng, the deputy, which meant the deputy instructor.
Zhao Dabao immediately shouted, "Commander Li, no need for a deputy, I can teach the new comrades well."
Li Yunlong frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "I just observed you, and you're still using the old-fashioned bayonet fighting techniques from our army. Wang Yousheng isn't bad at bayonet fighting either. I'm assigning you people to share the workload."
"yes!"
Zhao Dabao sized up Wang Yousheng and boldly said, "Commander Li, I heard that Comrade Wang Yousheng comes from a clerical background, worked as your secretary in the clothing factory, and has been in the army for less than a year. I've been in the army for three years, so I shouldn't be any worse than him, right?"
Zhao Dabao added, "I heard that Comrade Zhang Shan learned a new bayonet fighting technique from Secretary Wang, but unfortunately, Zhang Shan lost to me, and now I've arranged for him to be retrained as a new recruit."
"Commander Li, I, Zhao Dabao, speak my mind. Please don't be angry with me. I believe that Zhang Shan and I are both veterans who have served for three years and have experienced dozens of battles, big and small. The fact that Zhang Shan lost to me shows that Secretary Wang is not yet qualified to be my deputy."
provocative!
Zhao Dabao was an honest man. He had long heard that Li Yunlong was going to be transferred to the Independent Regiment. He admired Li Yunlong for defeating the Sakata Brigade. He and his subordinates had no complaints about Li Yunlong becoming the commander of the Independent Regiment.
However, Wang Yousheng, a new recruit who had been in the army for less than a year, followed Li Yunlong around and was appointed as a training instructor just a few days after arriving at the Independent Regiment.
Moreover, even Zhang Shan, a disciple personally trained by Wang Yousheng, lost. What qualifications does Wang Yousheng have to serve as a training instructor?
To put it bluntly, let alone Zhao Dabao, probably none of the surviving veterans in the battalion would accept this.
Zhao Dabao wasn't that cunning. When it came to fighting for the country, he either succeeded or failed. He shouldn't act arrogantly or make a fuss when he couldn't see the strength of the enemy, or he would ruin everything.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao clearly sensed the tension. Not only Zhao Dabao, but also several veterans crouching under the tree roots were watching with predatory eyes.
Some veterans even believe that Li Yunlong is installing his cronies here; first Zhang Dabiao, and now Wang Yousheng.
Zhang Dabiao's appointment as battalion commander is understandable; he comes from the Northwest Army and has rich combat experience, so it was originally a transfer from battalion commander. But Wang Yousheng...
Zhang Dabiao glared at him and said sternly, "Zhao Dabao, do you dare disobey Commander Li's orders?"
Zhao Dabao gritted his teeth and said, "Since Commander Li says so, I, Zhao Dabao, agree."
Although he agreed on the surface, the resentment in his eyes was very obvious.
"Ha ha!"
At this moment, Li Yunlong laughed.
Everyone was stunned.
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. Old Kong's troops haven't given up yet. Shengzi, I've given you a mission. Whether you can become a new recruit instructor depends on your abilities."
"I'm not taking sides. If you can beat Zhao Dabao, then you've got potential. But if you embarrass me, I'll deal with you later."
Clearly, Li Yunlong was giving Wang Yousheng a huge challenge.
Wang Yousheng understood Li Yunlong's meaning: if the veterans were not convinced, then he should train with them properly; it had been a long time since he had fought with bayonets.
Zhao Dabao's face lit up with joy. He could tell that Li Yunlong wasn't showing favoritism; Li Yunlong was giving both sides a chance!
Zhao Dabao said bluntly, "Secretary Wang! It's not that I'm bullying you, but if you can dodge three moves from me, I'll acknowledge you as my deputy."
Wang Yousheng stepped forward and smiled faintly: "Of course, Company Commander Zhao, don't worry, I might defeat you."
"Defeat me?"
Zhao Dabao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, making no attempt to hide his reaction.
Without wasting any words, Zhao Dabao immediately ordered the new recruits to be disbanded and made to stand aside and watch the battle!
Zhang Shan rushed over from the crowd, first standing at attention in front of Li Yunlong, then whispering, "Secretary Wang, are you confused? Although the bayonet fighting skills you taught me are very strong, I still can't beat Zhao Dabao."
Wang Yousheng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After speaking, under everyone's gaze, he walked to the center of the training field.
At this moment, the new recruits and veterans of the First Battalion were all eager to see the contest between the secretary and the company commander.
Before the two could even make a move, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but ask, "Commander, is Shengzi up to the task? We just arrived at the Independent Regiment; wouldn't it be a bad idea to create conflict among our comrades?"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said solemnly, "A conflict? If we don't settle this now, it will be our comrades who lose their lives on the battlefield. You better watch out."
On the training field, Wang Yousheng picked up a wooden Type 38 rifle and stared intently at Zhao Dabao.
[Intermediate level test: Li Dabao spotted, 3 meters away, favorability rating 10]
[Congratulations on receiving the new mission: Defeat Li Dabao, reward 5000 points and 10 merit points]
Wang Yousheng naturally accepted the task.
Zhao Dabao was also on edge, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, exuding murderous intent. Countless enemies had died at his hands; this was the killing intent honed by a veteran over many years.
"Secretary Wang, you come first." Zhao Dabao waved.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Yousheng did not answer, but suddenly raised his gun and rushed forward, closing in on Zhao Dabao.
Clang!
Zhao Dabao parried the first attack with his spear, neutralizing its force.
Wang Yousheng was startled. Zhao Dabao's defense was indeed impressive. He was able to use his solid lower body strength to defend, which clearly showed that he had practiced martial arts.
However, Wang Yousheng also saw through the flaw.
He noticed it when Zhao Dabao was training the soldiers.
Zhao Dabao's weakness is the same as Zhang Shan's. Although he has a good foundation in martial arts and a stable lower body, he can easily defend against stabs from both sides.
However, with three consecutive thrusts using European-style thrusting techniques, Zhao Dabao was bound to lose.
