Chapter 78: Spear Technique vs. Bayonet Combat (Seeking Collections and Recommendations)

~9 min read 1,775 words

"Green Flower in the Army" is a banned song in the unit.

The status of this song in the new recruit company is the same as "Only Mom Is Good in the World" and "Lubihua" in kindergarten.

Singing it will cause trouble.

The song is listened to at night, thoughts slide off in the middle of the night, and people slip away the next morning.

As for the instructor, he should be knocking on the door at the other party's home around noon.

So, Beside Qi Hui Hui was unceremoniously picked up by the black-faced Old Yan and thrown outside to stand guard.

Reflect properly!

Inside the door, the instructor coughed lightly, then continued playing music and dancing as if nothing had happened.

And Beside Qi Hui Hui, outside the door, began to study his newly acquired skill.

Shooting and firearm mastery can be ignored; this thing is the same level as artillery mastery.

In the Great Huaxia server, it belongs to the level of a eunuch visiting a brothel.

It's useless.

But bayonet combat is a good skill; at least it can be used for self-defense, and like the spear technique that appeared on Wu Jing's body, it can be used for acting.

Starting the next day.

Training continued: live-fire shooting, grenade throwing, one-hundred-meter sprints...

There were many training subjects, and the intensity gradually increased.

Perhaps because of the talent show incident that night, the instructor found no end of trouble for Beside Qi Hui Hui.

Other new recruits only needed to pass, but Beside Qi Hui Hui was required to achieve excellence.

If he failed to complete it, there would be a shouting session, making Beside Qi Hui Hui's ears grow calluses.

However, before transmigration, Beside Qi Hui Hui had worked in the corporate world; he had heard countless big pies drawn by leaders and endless PUA talk, and slacking off had become a habit.

How could he change because of these things?

So, the instructor's words had no effect on Beside Qi Hui Hui.

After discovering that verbal education had no effect on Beside Qi Hui Hui, the instructor directly increased the intensity and added extra training for Beside Qi Hui Hui.

This was somewhat corporal punishment.

But it's not a big problem; if I train with you, sharing weal and woe, then it doesn't count as corporal punishment, right?

Beside Qi Hui Hui rolled his eyes; for all subjects, he only aimed to pass, and running even one extra step would be letting himself down.

Under the guise of overt laziness and covert slacking, despite the instructor's various urgings, he simply refused to strive above the passing line.

If I put in any effort at all, it would count as me slacking off before transmigration.

Finally, the instructor helplessly silently withdrew his former praise: What kind of good soldier is this?

This is clearly an old slicker!

"Today, the subject to learn is bayonet combat!" Black-faced Old Yan held a wooden spear, with a pile of protective gear at his feet:

"I know, some of you must be thinking: now is the era of thermal weapons; with guns to shoot people, why do we still need to learn bayonet fighting?"

"But our ancestors proved with countless bloodstains that if you run out of ammunition and supplies, are captured, and fall into the hands of reactionaries and imperialists, life will be worse than death."

"Therefore, bayonet fighting is indispensable."

After speaking, he looked at the new recruits in the class and called out: "Beside Qi Hui Hui, come out and demonstrate for everyone."

Beside Qi Hui Hui looked speechless: "Why me? I'm a new recruit too."

"Because you have a foundation," Old Black glared.

He had noticed Beside Qi Hui Hui's movements were a bit off some time ago; after observing for a while, he found the boy had a faint tendency to hold a spear for bayonet fighting.

And it was very standard.

This boy is not honest; today I must see what his situation really is.

"I don't have any..."

"Stop wasting words, execute the order!"

Beside Qi Hui Hui was helpless and could only obediently put on the protective gear and pick up the wooden spear.

The first of the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention is to obey orders and follow commands.

Old Black explained methodically to the new recruits, occasionally requiring Beside Qi Hui Hui to cooperate.

The dull sound of wooden spears colliding and striking protective gear rang out from time to time, echoing in the training ground.

In the distance, the instructor patrolled the training ground and soon noticed something was wrong.

"Instructor, what's wrong?" the clerk asked in confusion.

"That person's bayonet movements are a bit standard, and they're a bit like my style..." the instructor muttered.

Without hesitation, he immediately walked over to Beside Qi Hui Hui's side.

On the other side.

Old Black finished his explanation, had everyone in the class put on protective gear, and started paired practice.

Ren Kenuo approached Beside Qi Hui Hui; the two went back and forth, methodically, as if they were novices.

Of course, one was real, and one was acting.

Beside Qi Hui Hui did not seek to stand out; he wasn't a real soldier, so there was no need to steal others' spotlight; it was better to give other new recruits a chance to shine.

"Help me get a set of protective gear," the instructor called to Old Black: "Beside Qi Hui Hui, come spar with me."

Beside Qi Hui Hui's mouth twitched: "Instructor, I don't know how; I just started learning."

"No, you have a foundation," the instructor directly refuted his words: "And your foundation is not bad; I want to see your situation."

By this time, he had long since figured out the lifeline of this old oil-stick Beside Qi Hui Hui.

Beside Qi Hui Hui was speechless; what was all this about!

"Ahem, Instructor, I actually know martial arts spear techniques; my foundation came from that." Beside Qi Hui Hui coughed lightly and said.

He had no way to explain the source of his bayonet-fighting ability; what if the unit got interested and started digging for the root?

No matter how things developed, it was all troublesome.

Beside Qi Hui Hui could only rely on his spear technique skill to hold the line.

"Oh?" The Instructor's interest grew even more: "Go to the company office and get him a flower spear."

"Let me see your spear technique."

The first sentence was spoken to the clerk, the second to Beside Qi Hui Hui.

At this, the others stopped practicing and waited to see Beside Qi Hui Hui spar with the Instructor.

Soon, the clerk returned carrying a red-tasseled spear, drawing the attention of many.

Beside Qi Hui Hui's eye twitched; why would the unit have this thing?

"Come on!"

With things said thus, Beside Qi Hui Hui could only step up.

Gripping the long spear, he gave it a shake; one move of the spear made the red tassel tremble lightly. Beside Qi Hui Hui planted his horse stance, the spear tip pointing straight at the Instructor.

"Eh?" The Instructor was surprised; he had thought Beside Qi Hui Hui was lying, but he truly knew spear technique.

Could it be he really doesn't know bayonet fighting?

"Here it comes!" Beside Qi Hui Hui let out a light shout, stepped forward, and thrust a level spear thrust straight at the Instructor's head.

The Instructor held a wooden spear, striking sideways to block, while stepping forward diagonally to close in on Beside Qi Hui Hui.

Boom!

A dull thud sounded; Beside Qi Hui Hui felt a shock in his hand, and a stinging pain traveled from his tiger's mouth.

Such great strength!

In the next instant, the Instructor closed in, the wooden spear thrusting straight for Beside Qi Hui Hui's chest.

Beside Qi Hui Hui sidestepped and blocked horizontally; the spear shaft stopped the Instructor's wooden spear.

But with someone already close to his front, the advantage of the long spear was sharply reduced.

Truly a master of the unit; the first move goes straight for the vital point!

Helpless, Beside Qi Hui Hui could only draw both hands back, using the long spear short, gripping the middle of the shaft to fight the Instructor.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of wood colliding rang out in succession.

Beside Qi Hui Hui's body moved like a swimming dragon, flashing and twisting swiftly; the spear head and spear tail alternated between blocking and attacking, the moves wide and open, incredibly handsome.

The Instructor, meanwhile, stood firm and steady, attacking and defending, advancing and retreating with ease.

If Beside Qi Hui Hui was a wild wind, then the Instructor was a mountain standing unshaken in that wind.

The surrounding new recruits cheered; if not for the ban on noise, someone would probably have shouted "awesome."

But those squad leaders shook their heads; outsiders watch the spectacle, insiders watch the method. Fighting like this will exhaust a person to death!

One feint thrust from the Instructor would make you dance the spear wildly, jumping left and right.

This fighting style would drain one's stamina in less than a minute or two.

By then, you would be at the mercy of others.

Crack!

The wooden spears collided again; Beside Qi Hui Hui's figure stalled, and his movements slowed a bit.

Stamina is running low!

The Instructor, sharp as ever, flicked his spear upward, directly knocking the red-tasseled spear from Beside Qi Hui Hui's hand.

The wooden spear extended, stopping at Beside Qi Hui Hui's chest.

Helpless, Beside Qi Hui Hui raised both hands high and played at the French military salute: "I told you I couldn't do it, right?"

The Instructor frowned; he knew Beside Qi Hui Hui had given his all, but he still felt this kid was hiding something.

It was strangely uncomfortable.

"Enough, continue training." The Instructor retracted his wooden spear and shouted to everyone.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking.

Beside Qi Hui Hui was merely a passerby in the unit anyway.

Time drifted on, swift as a white colt passing a crevice.

Soon, the new recruit training neared its end, and the day to join the companies arrived.

And Beside Qi Hui Hui and these actors boarded military trucks and left this place.

The unit life experience was complete; it was time to officially begin filming.
