“Why aren't you at the training ground with your company, what are you doing here?”
“Is there something wrong?”
Seeing the displeased look on the Division Commander's face, Commander Cheng felt helpless. He quickly saluted and replied, “Reporting to the Division Commander, I have an important matter to report.”
Important matter?
Division Commander Chen put down the documents in his hand and looked at Commander Cheng, asking, “What is it? Speak quickly!”
“Yes!” Commander Cheng answered loudly.
He then proceeded to report on the situation of the County Detachment, as well as the advantages of the Spear Thrust Technique.
The County Detachment has 300 men?
A rifle for each man? Plus 5 Czech light machine guns and a mortar? !
Are these the weapons Zhang Liang mentioned?
Zhang Liang had mentioned it to him before. Considering the safety of the armory, he needed strength to protect it, so he agreed.
But he didn't expect there to be so many weapons.
This is more firepower than a main force battalion.
This is still the County Detachment? !
Before Division Commander Chen could calm down, Commander Cheng's words left him dumbfounded.
The Spear Thrust Technique invented by Su Yang is superior to the Japanese bayonet technique?
This... What kind of technique is that?
When Division Commander Chen took the secret manual from Commander Cheng and looked at it, his face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Is Su Yang also a martial artist?
However, Division Commander Chen was still somewhat skeptical about the claim that it was better than the Japanese bayonet technique.
After all, he had fought the Japanese many times and knew firsthand how good they were at bayonet fighting.
However, Division Commander Chen knew that Commander Cheng was skilled in bayonet fighting. Since he said so, this Spear Thrust Technique must have something special about it.
Commander Cheng also knew that the manual alone wouldn’t be convincing.
He then proceeded to describe the performance of the 1st Company, which had been practicing for a month.
“Division Commander, Chen Ping An, the company commander of the 1st Company, is the first person in our regiment to learn the Spear Thrust Technique. If you have any doubts, you can have someone test it out.”
After listening to the description, Division Commander Chen was shocked.
Combat effectiveness improved so much after only a month of training?!
This Spear Thrust Technique is really something!
“Alright, let me see what is so special about it.”
“Communication soldier, go and inform the platoon leader of the Guard Platoon to come here immediately.”
“Yes!”
Just as Division Commander Chen was carefully examining the techniques and formulas of the Spear Thrust Technique, Liu Sheng Li, the platoon leader of the Guard Platoon, arrived in front of him.
Salute!
“Reporting to the Division Commander, what are your orders?”
Division Commander Chen put away the secret manual and looked at Liu Sheng Li, saying, “Chen Ping An, the company commander of the 772nd Regiment, wants to spar with you in bayonet fighting. You two should have a bout.”
Liu Sheng Li was taken aback.
He knew that his bayonet fighting skills were among the best in the entire division.
Is this a challenge?
But since the Division Commander had given the order, despite his confusion, he had to agree.
“Yes!”
He then took the wooden stick and turned to Chen Ping An, bowing slightly.
“Comrade Chen Ping An, please enlighten me!”
Chen Ping An calmed his mind and bowed in return, saying, “Comrade Liu Sheng Li, please!”
After a brief exchange, the two men started to fight seriously.
10 minutes later.
Division Commander Chen stopped the two men who were fighting evenly matched.
“Alright, you two can stop!”
The two men also stopped their attacks.
At this moment, both of them were filled with respect for each other.
This was an acknowledgment!
Especially Liu Sheng Li, he couldn't believe how clever the other's techniques were, and how special and unpredictable his moves were.
If not for his own good skills, and the fact that the other wasn't yet completely comfortable with the technique, he would have been defeated long ago.
He had also sustained some injuries.
After all, there were no protective clothes during the fight. Although both men had held back their strength, they still had bruises and cuts.
“You two can go and treat your injuries.”
“Yes!”
After witnessing this bout, Division Commander Chen had seen the extraordinary nature of the Spear Thrust Technique.
He knew Liu Sheng Li's abilities.
Chen Ping An was able to fight him evenly, and even seemed to have a slight edge.
How could this not be surprising?
Back in his office, Division Commander Chen's attitude had changed. His tone was much softer.
“Have a seat.”
“Tell me what you think about this matter.”
Commander Cheng, feeling somewhat flattered, sat down and said, “Division Commander, I think we can try to promote it widely, in order to improve our army's bayonet fighting skills.”
“After all, we often engage in close combat with the enemy.”
Division Commander Chen thought for a moment, then nodded. “From the spar just now, it seems that the Spear Thrust Technique is indeed good!”
“But we need to consider it carefully before implementing it widely.”
“Alright, you 772nd Regiment will be the pilot unit. Train hard. When you have the chance to fight a glorious battle, show your skills to the division commander and the chief of staff.”
“We'll talk about it then.”
“Yes!”
Commander Cheng knew that this matter was crucial, but they had finally taken the first step.
He believed that day would come!
And that day would be the day the 772nd Regiment would rise to fame!
Thinking about this, Commander Cheng was filled with determination.
Then.
Division Commander Chen asked a few questions about Su Yang.
After hearing Commander Cheng's description, Division Commander Chen began to take Su Yang more seriously.
Although Su Yang had made many contributions before, it had only attracted Division Commander Chen's attention.
After all, there were so many people in the division, and countless people had distinguished themselves by killing the enemy.
But now it was different.
From taking away an entire company in a short period of time and establishing a well-functioning base, and the well-trained troops, it could be seen that Su Yang was a natural commander.
From his decisiveness in killing the enemy, his good relationship with the people, and his popularity with them, it could be seen that Su Yang was a patriotic comrade.
From the materials he turned in, as well as his assistance to the organization, it could be seen that Su Yang was trustworthy.
Sufficient forces, reliable people, and command abilities... etc. Division Commander Chen had already made up his mind about Su Yang.
At this moment, the deputy division commander, who had gone to the Logistics Department to collect supplies, walked in and saw the two men chatting.
“The Logistics Department Commander asked us to collect oil barrels. Since you're here, I don’t need to send someone to tell the 772nd Regiment.”
Why does the Logistics Department need to collect oil barrels?
