Chapter 15 Achieving Great Success with Small Investments
"I...I lost."
Xiao Ye withdrew her move and said with a surprised look.
The soldiers nearby looked at each other in bewilderment.
The tall, thin soldier whispered, "Is this a new recruit? Although Xiao Ye hasn't been in the army long, he's been training for over two months. How could he lose to Secretary Wang in just one move?"
"Strange, could this kid have had some military training before joining the army?"
The soldiers began to discuss the matter, and at the same time, they realized that something was wrong.
Li Dahai walked up, staring at Wang Yousheng's movements, and said, "Secretary Wang, your bayonet fighting style is different from ours, and different from the Japanese soldiers' too. How did you manage that?"
Wang Yousheng had already come up with a reason, saying, "I figured it out myself, but I don't know how effective it will be."
"Hmm, the new regiment is indeed formidable, but don't get too excited." Li Dahai turned his gaze to Zhang Shan: "Zhang Shan, you spar with him."
"yes!"
Zhang Shan had been waiting impatiently. He had just observed Wang Yousheng's moves, which seemed strange, but were not without ways to defend against them.
Zhang Shan stepped forward: "Secretary Wang, I'm not like Xiao Ye. This wooden gun has been with me for three years. If you admit defeat now, it's not too late."
"Old soldier..." Wang Yousheng tightened his grip on his wooden gun. Facing a veteran who had been through the baptism of war, he dared not let his guard down.
The two men stared at each other, neither making the first move.
The moment Wang Yousheng met Zhang Shan's gaze, he clearly felt a sense of oppression and couldn't help but think: A veteran is a veteran; that look alone is enough to shock ordinary people.
Li Dahai was very satisfied with Zhang Shan's attitude. He instructed the soldiers: "Comrades, do you see that? As an experienced veteran, one should never act rashly before the battle. One should first observe the enemy's defensive weaknesses. Sometimes, even a single glance can terrify the enemy."
As he spoke, Zhang Shan gathered his strength and thrust it toward Wang Yousheng's right chest.
Wang Yousheng dodged again, then flipped over and struck.
Swish!
The wooden spear grazed past Zhang Shan's right shoulder. Zhang Shan hurriedly took a step back, then leaned forward, using his lower body to generate power and swing his shoulder, sending the force through the spearhead to stab Wang Yousheng in the chest again.
Wang Yousheng was secretly startled, thinking to himself: No wonder he's a veteran!
He immediately dodged and weaved left and right.
Zhang Shan stabbed Wang Yousheng several times, but Wang Yousheng dodged them all.
"Huh?" Zhang Shan was clearly surprised.
Then, he suddenly lunged forward at Wang Yousheng, thrusting the spearhead at him once more.
Clang!
Wang Yousheng blocked the attack horizontally, but due to the close proximity, Zhang Shan's lower body strength was clearly unstable.
Wang Yousheng immediately turned and stabbed.
Boom!
The gun barrel was aimed at Zhang Shan's chest.
"This, how is this possible!" Zhang Shan instantly lost his composure, staring in astonishment at the wooden spear pressed against his chest.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, I have a slight advantage." Wang Yousheng withdrew his fighting stance and nodded slightly.
"I lost."
Zhang Shan never expected to lose to a new recruit who had only been in the army for less than half a year!
To be fair, Wang Yousheng's bayonet fighting skills were truly bizarre, always managing to launch unexpected counterattacks.
The soldiers were also dumbfounded. They knew that Zhang Shan was a veteran who had been in the army for three years and had experienced dozens of small-scale battles. In particular, in the past two years, he had never lost a one-on-one fight against the Japanese.
"Wow, these soldiers from the new regiment are no ordinary men; they actually managed to defeat Zhang Shan."
"The men of the New First Regiment are indeed no cowards. They must be extraordinary to be Li Yunlong's personal guards."
The soldiers were talking amongst themselves, while Li Yunlong watched with great interest from behind.
He really struck it rich this time. His battlefield command skills are exceptional; he even defeated a three-year veteran. He's truly a talent!
"Secretary Wang, your move just now was quite impressive. Where did you learn it? You're not going to tell me you figured it out yourself, are you?" Li Dahai approached Wang Yousheng with a surprised look on his face, scrutinizing him closely.
Wang Yousheng nodded: "Yes."
"You..." Li Dahai scratched his head, wondering if this guy was really a bayonet fighting prodigy?
Wang Yousheng was also feeling uneasy. Should he have a match with Li Dahai? After all, Li Dahai was the battalion commander of the division's directly subordinate guard battalion.
Well, now that things have come to this, I have to test my own capabilities.
Wang Yousheng raised his head and said, "Captain Li, I would like to have a match with you."
"What?! Secretary Wang has gone mad!"
"Dare to challenge Captain Li? Captain Li practiced martial arts before joining the army."
"A new recruit is a new recruit, too arrogant. Let Captain Li teach him a lesson!"
The soldiers were starting to feel resentful. After all, Wang Yousheng had given them such a huge sense of disappointment, and if they didn't get their revenge today, where would the security team put their face?
It's so frustrating that I can't even beat a new recruit.
Wang Yousheng wasn't trying to show off; he just wanted to test his abilities.
Clearly, the European-style thrusting technique was superior to the thrusting techniques used by the warriors.
If he could defeat Li Dahai with these three European-style thrusting techniques, he would gain the attention of his superiors and then promote these three European-style thrusting techniques to the army.
That way, when we go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese with bayonets, we won't be at a disadvantage.
Li Dahai looked at Wang Yousheng with a warning expression and said, "Secretary Wang, do you really want to compete with me? You'd better think it through."
"Yes," Wang Yousheng answered with absolute certainty.
"Good lad, you're worthy of being the old commander's soldier. Alright, let's have a go!"
Li Dahai stood on the training ground, took a wooden rifle from a soldier, pointed the muzzle at Wang Yousheng, and said, "Come on!"
Li Dahai wasn't bullying the new recruits. In the two matches just now, Li Dahai clearly discovered that Wang Yousheng's bayonet fighting skills were extraordinary.
If this kid can withstand his attacks, it means he's quite skilled, and the soldiers can observe and learn from him to improve their own skills.
Wang Yousheng immediately assumed a fighting stance, his pupils scanning Li Dahai's personal information.
[Initial assessment: One person, Li Dahai, has been in the army for six years. He is an excellent marksman and has a bayonet fighting proficiency level of 50.]
"Fifty???"
The pressure is too much.
With only ten points of proficiency, can I really fight against Li Dahai with just these three moves?
Li Dahai stared intently at Wang Yousheng: "Secretary Wang, you make the first move."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Wang Yousheng immediately lunged forward and stabbed at Li Dahai's chest.
Clang!
The two wooden spears clashed, and Wang Yousheng thrust repeatedly, but Li Dahai deflected all his attacks.
"Such powerful force!" Wang Yousheng exclaimed in surprise.
Although his thrusts were powerful, Li Dahai's defensive skills were also quite good.
Back and forth like this, his spearhead could hardly get close to Li Dahai's chest.
Li Dahai was also secretly surprised. He had to admit that Wang Yousheng's attack was very fierce, and his thrusting method was also different, which was able to neutralize his block with very little force.
Li Dahai is a martial artist. If he wants to block an opponent's attack, he must use considerable force to neutralize it. If he has good physical fitness, he can counterattack when the opponent thrusts.
However, Wang Yousheng could launch a series of thrusts, using his limited strength to achieve great results. If he encountered a weak soldier, a single thrust could break through the defense, and then another thrust would surely hit the target's vitals.
This is a sword technique even more exquisite than the bayonet fighting of the Japanese soldiers!
At this moment, Li Yunlong, who had been watching from the back, slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Good lad, you didn't embarrass me!"
