The gap between our army and the Japanese devils lies not only in equipment but also in the military quality of the soldiers.
This is also why it takes multiple soldiers to deal with one Japanese devil.
Especially our army.
Because most of our soldiers are from peasant or impoverished families, they have no military foundation or education.
However, they also have advantages, such as their ability to endure hardship and their great potential.
There are also many martial arts practitioners among them.
Su Yang's set of bayonet techniques was developed based on years of accumulated experience. While the moves are simple, they can be incredibly deadly when used flexibly.
As long as they are trained effectively and become muscle memory, they can have an unexpected impact when fighting with bayonets against the enemy.
They can even face the Japanese bayonet techniques without fear.
In terms of techniques, they are even superior.
Of course!
This still depends on individual "skill."
Zhang Liang was quite shocked after watching Su Yang's demonstration.
Although he couldn't tell its specific effect for now, the entire demonstration was exhilarating.
“啪啪啪.....”
Zhang Liang clapped and asked, "Comrade Su Yang, did you practice martial arts before?"
Su Yang thought about how he learned from videos before, and couldn't help but say, "I just practiced randomly before, I don't know if it counts～"
But Zhang Liang and the others didn't think so.
They thought Su Yang was being modest.
“Comrade Su Yang, don't be modest～” Zhang Liang praised, "In my opinion, your set of bayonet techniques is even more refined than the Japanese bayonet techniques～"
“You are now the deputy captain of the Ninth Squad, you'll have to work hard and teach them the bayonet techniques to see how it works.”
“If it works well, then we'll promote it to other teams and enhance our teams' bayonet fighting skills.”
Su Yang had the same idea, so he didn't refuse.
After all, he was happy to do anything that could increase the strength of the team.
It would also be a small help to his career.
Why not?
“Yes!”
“I'll follow the Captain's arrangements!”
Zhang Liang nodded in satisfaction and said expectantly, "I'll give you a month, and then we'll test the results."
Su Yang readily agreed.
“I'll give it my all!”
Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, “Good～I'm looking forward to your performance.”
“This time, your Ninth Squad made a contribution, so we'll give your squad some of the meat cans and flour we captured as a reward.”
“Someone will go and collect them later.”
Hearing about the meat cans, everyone's eyes lit up, and they laughed excitedly.
“Thank you, Captain!”
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "I have something else to take care of, so that's it for your celebration."
Then he left the Ninth Squad's residence.
That night.
Zhou Ming gave all the meat cans he brought back to the cooks, and even managed to get half a bottle of sweet potato liquor.
Recently, it's been training after training.
All they ate were steamed buns, sweet potatoes, millet porridge..... and other grains, their mouths had gone numb from the bland food.
Although they could occasionally eat some wild game, it was always more mouths than meat, and they couldn't even taste it before it was gone.
Not to mention alcohol.
Therefore, having meat cans and sweet potato liquor made Su Yang feel a profound sense of happiness.
No wonder many people say that fighting the Japanese devils is a time for revelry.
After the celebration.
In the following days, Su Yang spent his time teaching his comrades bayonet techniques and strengthening his own abilities.
He also started researching the structure of rifles, and the manufacturing of bullets and gunpowder.
After all, this is the age of firearms.
Even the most skilled martial artist is afraid of bullets!
However, due to limited resources, Su Yang could only understand the basic structure.
Through this battle, Su Yang found that some of the bullets produced a lot of black smoke when fired.
It obscured their vision.
It would also expose their positions during the day.
Some soldiers were exposed during ambushes due to this, which allowed the enemy to quickly pinpoint their location.
This was a serious problem for them, who relied on guerrilla warfare.
The cause of all this was the black powder used to load the bullets.
Not smokeless powder.
Black powder is not only less powerful than smokeless powder but also has drawbacks such as producing black smoke...
However, the army hasn't mastered the technology to manufacture smokeless powder, so they have no choice but to use black powder.
To improve the army's strength, it seems we need to start with gunpowder.
Whether it's bullets, shells, or explosive packs, they all need gunpowder.
But to research gunpowder, you need knowledge in the field. Although I've studied it and know what gunpowder requires, I've never practiced it.
Moreover, I've returned most of the knowledge to my teachers.
After much thought.
Su Yang could only ask Zhang Liang if he could get access to the production of black powder.
To see if he could find some methods with his incredible talent.
Even if he couldn't, he could at least get familiar with the basics of gunpowder production.
As for related books.
In this era, such books are akin to martial arts secrets.
It would be very difficult to find them.
Therefore, Su Yang could only go to Captain Zhang Liang with a try-it-and-see attitude.
