Xu Dalong was sitting in the guest room, drinking tea, and Chu Yun'er's beautiful face still appeared in his mind.
In the evening, Chu Yunfei specially arranged a dinner for Xu Dalong. The banquet was attended by the 358th Regiment Chief of Staff Fang Ligong, adjutant Sun Ming, and officers from the 358th Regiment and above.
Chu Yun'er also followed and sat on the left side of Chu Yunfei, while Xu Dalong sat on the right side of Chu Yunfei.
The banquet started, and Chu Yunfei said: "Brothers, let me introduce this Eighth Route Brother."
When Xu Dalong heard this, he stood up, gave a circling salute to everyone, announced his home and said: "Xu Dalong, commander of the special service company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army." After saying that, he sat down.
Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Dalong was specially invited by me. I just came from the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. There are many talents there, especially this brother Dalong. He is an amazing man. He is both civil and military. He is a rare person. You see such great talent." As he said that, he took the lead in applauding.
The officers were not very interested in the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that Xu Dalong's official position was low, they were not very enthusiastic. For Chu Yunfei's sake, they slapped him sparsely a few times, and the atmosphere was very cold.
Chu Yunfei saw everyone's attitude, and he said: "What I just said is not a compliment to Brother Dalong. He is a tactical expert, and can even be said to be a genius. Just today, he only brought With more than 20 brothers from the Eighth Route Army, they captured a stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops and wiped out more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops without any casualties themselves."
Hearing this, the banquet hall was silent, and the officers all looked at Xu Dalong with surprised eyes.
The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong. In battles with the Chinese army, most of the time, the battle loss ratio is as high as 1:10, which means that for every Japanese soldier killed, 10 Chinese soldiers will die.
It is simply unbelievable that people like Xu Dalong, who ate hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in one go, and suffered no casualties even when the Japanese and puppet troops were hiding behind strong fortifications.
At this time, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said: "The regiment is right. The last time our food was robbed by the Japanese army, it was Brother Dalong who led his men to take it back. That time they also killed more than a hundred people. The Japanese and puppet troops only suffered a few casualties.”
With Fang Ligong's evidence, everyone believed Chu Yunfei's words and looked at Xu Dalong with respect.
They applauded spontaneously, this time from the bottom of their hearts, and the applause was very enthusiastic.
Chu Yun'er also didn't expect that the honest-looking Eighth Route Army soldier in front of her could be so powerful. She also cast a curious look at Xu Dalong.
Chu Yunfei continued: "Brother Dalong has fought a battle like this more than once. Everyone has heard of the Battle of Lijiapo fought by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, Brother Dalong led less than 100 Eighth Route Army soldiers and dragged them away. They occupied the Hirata Brigade of the Japanese army. The result of the battle was unimaginable. They killed nearly 600 Japanese soldiers at the cost of less than ten casualties, and finally made the Japanese soldiers flee."
The officers of the 358th Regiment were extremely shocked. After a moment of silence, they burst into warm applause again.
Chu Yunfei continued: "Brother Dalong is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also in literary talent. He is eloquent in speech. He also has political acumen and a sense of the overall situation. Such talents at such a young age are the only ones I have seen in my life."
Seeing Chu Yunfei praise him so highly, Xu Dalong said: "Sir, this is a ridiculous compliment. I am ashamed of my humble position."
Chu Yunfei said: "This time I specially invited Brother Dalong to visit our 358th Regiment. I would like to ask him to teach our 358th Regiment new infantry tactics."
Having said this, he raised his wine glass and said, "Brothers, let us toast Brother Dalong together!"
After three drinks, everyone was chatting and laughing.
Xu Dalong's extraordinary conversation left a deep impression on everyone. The officers toasted to Xu Dalong one after another, and Xu Dalong accepted all comers. His capacity for drinking alone won the admiration of the officers.
Xu Dalong's humble, friendly and natural attitude towards others also won the favor of the officers.
During the banquet, Chu Yun'er rarely spoke. Looking at Xu Dalong chatting and laughing in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
After breakfast the next day, Chu Yunfei gathered the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment stationed around Qingfeng Town, approximately more than 1,500 people.
The tactical drills conducted by Xu Dalong and others won warm applause from the officers and soldiers present.
Chu Yunfei valued Xu Dalong very much. He wanted to ask Xu Dalong to give lectures to the people of the 358th Regiment. In order to convince everyone of him, he deliberately asked Xu Dalong to show his face in front of the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment.
He said: "Brother Dalong, I heard that you are superb in martial arts and have godlike marksmanship. Please show your skills to the brothers."
The one with the toughest fist is the uncle, the hero is the most admired in the army. In this era, weapons and equipment were not that advanced, and what everyone valued most was martial arts and marksmanship.
Chu Yunfei asked Xu Dalong to perform these two items. He did so out of goodwill and had no intention of winning.
But the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment didn't think so. No one wanted to let people from other troops pressure them. After hearing what Chu Yunfei said, many people wanted to compare with Xu Dalong.
Sun Ming showed his skills in the independent group, but Monk Wei returned the favor. The two can be said to be equally matched. He was very unconvinced and always wanted to compete with Monk Wei again.
So he stood up and said: "Team members, it's boring for Brother Dalong to perform alone. Why don't you let me compete with Brother Eighth Route Army? What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many masters of the 358th Regiment all agreed and asked to compete with the Eighth Route Army.
Chu Yunfei asked: "Brother Dalong, what do you think?"
Xu Dalong represented the Eighth Route Army at this time, so he naturally could not show weakness. He said lightly: "Since the brothers in your army are so enthusiastic, we might as well discuss it."
Sun Ming took a step forward and said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, let's fight first."
Just as Xu Dalong was about to speak, Monk Wei stood up and said, "Sir Sun, it's better for me to accompany you."
Sun Ming had seen Monk Wei's skills last time. He felt unsure, and it would be a tie at most. He said: "We have already competed, and we are evenly matched. I just want to ask Brother Dalong for advice."
Sun Ming believed that although Xu Dalong was educated and had high tactical skills, he did not believe that Xu Dalong could beat him in martial arts.
Although he admired Xu Dalong, Xu Dalong was the Eighth Route Army after all. He did not want the Eighth Route Army to overwhelm the 358th Regiment. He wanted to frustrate Xu Dalong and save face for the 358th Regiment.
Monk Wei has also seen Sun Ming's skills, and he is not sure that he can defeat Sun Ming. Seeing that Sun Ming had managed to find Mr. Long, he secretly laughed in his heart.
He deliberately said to Xu Dalong: "Master Long, Commander Sun is very good at martial arts, you have to be careful."
After speaking, he said to Sun Ming: "Sir Sun, please be merciful and wait until the end."
Sure enough, when Sun Ming heard what Monk Wei said, he felt that Xu Dalong was no match for Monk Wei, so he would be sure to defeat Xu Dalong.
He came to Xu Dalong, raised his hands and made a gesture of invitation, and then waved to Xu Dalong, indicating that Xu Dalong would take action first.
This attitude is somewhat arrogant and shows disrespect for his opponents.
Xu Dalong smiled faintly, took two steps forward, and punched mediocrely.
Sun Ming's strongest skill is his hard Qigong. Seeing that Xu Dalong's fighting style is not so showy, it is obvious that he wants to go head-to-head with him.
This played into his heart, so he immediately took a stance and hit Xu Dalong's fist directly.
Skills such as martial arts and marksmanship cannot be hidden in the army. The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment all knew that Sun Ming practiced hard qigong. When they saw Xu Dalong confronting him head-on, they all felt that Sun Ming was bullying others.
They sympathized with Xu Dalong and were worried that Xu Dalong's hand might be useless from now on.
Chu Yunfei also felt that Sun Ming had gone too far. Just as he was about to stop shouting, Xu Dalong and Sun Ming's fists had already collided.
People who were very close to them could hear the real impact of fists, and people who were far away could also feel the sound of cracking bones. Of course, this was just imagination. Everyone took a breath and felt that A toothache.
Everyone looked at Xu Dalong, worried that he would be injured.
But something strange happened. Xu Dalong didn't react. His fist was still raised in the air, and he slowly took it back after a moment.
Everyone looked at Sun Ming again. He withdrew his fist and shook it hard twice. He covered his fist with his left hand and rubbed it there so hard that his waist bent.
People who were close could see big beads of sweat breaking out on his head. It was obvious that Sun Ming had suffered a loss.
The reason why Xu Dalong wanted to confront Sun Ming head-on was because he saw that many people were not convinced by him. In order to quickly convince everyone, he must overwhelm Sun Ming in the kung fu he is best at.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment were embarrassed and silent.
Although Chu Yunfei felt that Sun Ming was a little embarrassed, he gracefully took the lead in applauding and congratulated Xu Dalong.
Sun Ming rubbed it with his hands for a while, then straightened up, bowed his hands to Xu Dalong, and said, "Company Commander Xu has done a good job, brothers admire him."
Chu Yun'er never made a sound, just staring at Xu Dalong.
When Chief of Staff Fang Ligong saw Xu Dalong defeating Sun Ming, he was worried about hurting the morale of the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment, so he suggested: "Regiment leader, I suggest you compete with Brother Xu on your marksmanship."
Chu Yunfei's marksmanship can be said to be extraordinary. He can use both hands to fire the gun with perfect accuracy. The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment are all proud of their leader.
Fang Ligong's proposal immediately aroused the support of the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment. Everyone asked the regiment leader to personally take action and test his marksmanship with Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong had already heard from Monk Wei and others that Chu Yunfei had superb marksmanship. To be honest, Xu Dalong believed that he could defeat Chu Yunfei completely if he only tested the marksmanship with his right hand.
Xu Dalong still couldn't do it with both hands like Chu Yunfei did.
Xu Dalong was in a dilemma. He could not show weakness to avoid damaging the reputation of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, nor could he try to be stronger than Chu Yunfei. After all, Chu Yunfei was the top officer of the 358th Regiment, and his face must be maintained.
After Xu Dalong thought about it, he said frankly: "Sir Chu's marksmanship is as good as a god, and he is humbled by his humble position."
Xu Dalong hopes to end the matter like this to avoid embarrassment to both parties.
But the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment quit. They believed that Xu Dalong was afraid of Chu Yunfei and must let Xu Dalong show his marksmanship.
Chu Yunfei was also very confident in his marksmanship. He smiled and said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, it's okay. Since the brothers want to see it, you can show it."
Xu Dalong said: "Since the superior has given orders, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful. That would be a disgrace to one's humble position."
He looked at the playground and saw that there were no special targets. Even if there were birds flying in the sky and he used his gun with both hands to shoot them down like Chu Yunfei did, even if he could do exactly the same thing, he couldn't think of anything more exciting. Means come.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Which brother is going to get a can?"
The soldiers were all waiting to see Xu Dalong's shooting skills. Without waiting for the officer's instructions, a soldier ran to the kitchen and quickly brought a tinplate can.
Xu Dalong called over Monk Wei, told him a few words, and then took the Type 38 rifle from a soldier, holding the gun with both hands, ready to shoot.
Monk Wei took 15 steps forward, turned around, and threw the can high into the sky.
Monk Wei is so strong that he can throw a can high. Everyone saw the can fly into the sky and then fall down.
Xu Dalong raised his hand and fired, and the can flew upward again. When the cans fell again, Xu Dalong shot the cans into the sky twice in a row.
Although Xu Dalong's skills were impressive, let alone Chu Yunfei, there were several officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment present who could do it.
Therefore, although the officers and soldiers also cheered for Xu Dalong, the cheers were sparse and obviously not enthusiastic enough.
After Xu Dalong fired his third shot, Monk Wei threw a piece of ocean into the sky.
Xu Dalong fired another shot, hitting the can into the sky, and then another shot, hitting the ocean.
The target of the ocean is very small, and being able to hit the ocean in the sky is much more exciting than hitting a can.
Many officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment gave warm applause.
However, the shooting masters of the 358th Regiment still felt that it was ordinary, because they could also do it and hit the ocean in the sky.
When the cans fell from the sky to the ground, a sharpshooter from the 358th Regiment said: "Regiment leader, I can do this. Let me compete with Commander Xu."
An orderly ran over to pick up the can so the sharpshooter could demonstrate.
He ran over and picked up the can. Suddenly, a strange thing happened.
The soldier was stunned while holding the can.
No one understood what was going on. Sun Ming shouted: "Ahem! What are you doing? Come here quickly."
The soldier was awakened by Sun Ming's shout and ran back in a hurry.
Sun Ming asked: "What are you doing? Why are you looking at a can?"
The soldier didn't say anything and handed the can to Sun Ming.
When Sun Ming saw the contents of the can, he was also stunned.
