Battalion Commander Duan reported the incident of the bandits 'night attack to the military region. General Yu, the head of the military region, was very shocked. He analyzed that the reason for the heavy casualties was that the bandits' martial arts were powerful, and the soldiers were at a disadvantage in close combat with the bandits. General Yu instructed Company Commander Yang's special forces to speed up the reconnaissance of the Longshan bandits and instructed Commander Qiu to personally go to the Longshan Martial Arts School to select a group of students with outstanding results to join the special forces.
Commander Qiu had not cared much about martial arts at first, but now that his troops had suffered such a heavy blow, he realized how important martial arts were. After careful consideration, he brought along a platoon of guards and drove to the foot of Longshan. He then took the mountain road to Longshan Martial Arts School.
A teacher-student meeting was being held in the sports field of the Longshan Martial Arts Dojo."Students, the bandits of the Wolf Fang Village have begun to move. They are killing crazily everywhere. A few nights ago, bandits raided the battalion headquarters of the People's Liberation Army and killed more than 40 soldiers. Students, we must be on high alert to prevent bandits from attacking! We don't have guns. What should we do? We have knives and swords. Students, we have to practice hard. Only those who are good at martial arts can protect themselves, the martial arts club, and the country. Students, this is the most critical moment in your life. Work hard!”
Coach Yu shouted,"Students, we have to train hard to protect our country!"”
The students shouted in unison,"Practice hard and protect the country!"”
Hearing the students 'high morale, Hall Master Mei was very happy and said,""Students, from today onwards, all personnel are prohibited from going out. We will send six students to take turns on duty every day. Once we find bandits, we will immediately call the police!”
The butler walked up to the stage and whispered,"Owner Mei, someone is here to visit."”
"Who is it?"
"Chief of the People's Liberation Army."
"Students, the meeting is over."
Hall Master Mei walked down from the podium and headed to the hall master's office. Regiment Commander Qiu and a staff officer were already waiting in the office. "Welcome, comrades of the People's Liberation Army!”
Commander Qiu walked over with a smile and shook hands with Leader Mei.""Hello, Hall Master Mei! Let me introduce myself. My surname is Qiu, the leader of the Dragon Mountain Bandit Extermination Regiment. Please forgive me for disturbing you today.”
"Commander Qiu, what are you talking about?" Commander Qiu's visit today has brought light to our humble dojo. I'm extremely honored.”
"Dojo Master Mei, Longshan Dojo has a hundred years of history. It is a famous dojo with many talents. General Yu of our military region is from your dojo.”
"Yes, General Yu is very skilled in martial arts and is the pride of the Dragon Mountain Martial School.”
"Head Mei, I am a straightforward person, so I will get straight to the point.”
"Commander Qiu, please speak.”
"I am here on General Yu's orders to select a few outstanding students to join the special forces. Please support us, Hall Master Mei."
"Regiment Commander Qiu, don't worry. Destroying the bandits and protecting the country is the duty of every man. I will definitely support you. I'll recommend ten students first, and you can choose from them.”
"Alright, I'll do it. The guest follows the host's convenience, according to the plum hall master's arrangement.”
"Commander Qiu, please wait for a moment. I will arrange it immediately.”Hall Master Mei gave the butler a list of students and asked him to pass it to Coach Yu. The butler took the list and turned to leave.
After a while, Coach Yu came in and said,"Reporting to the head, the students are all here."”
"Commander Qiu, please follow me to the field," said Hall Master Mei with a smile.”
Commander Qiu and Hall Master Mei walked to the field. The ten outstanding students who were about to graduate had already lined up in formation, their expressions awe-inspiring. Some held sabers, some held spears, some held staffs, some held clubs, and some held swords. Hall Master Mei arranged for them to perform in two groups. These outstanding students were all skilled in martial arts, strong and powerful. With weapons in their hands, only shadows could be seen and only the sound of the wind could be heard. Their speed was shocking. Commander Qiu looked at it and praised,"Good kung fu, good kung fu!" The Dragon Mountain Dojo truly lives up to its reputation!"
"Commander Qiu, you flatter me.”
"You're not exaggerating at all. If only I had come earlier."
"Commander Qiu, you choose."
"What do you want? I want them all."
Hall Master Mei and Commander Qiu burst into laughter.
Long Kong 'er, who was watching from the side, initially thought that it was a martial arts performance for the commander of the army. When he learned that it was the People's Liberation Army who was here to select soldiers, he walked up to Commander Qiu and said,""Chief, I want to join the People's Liberation Army.”
"Commander Qiu, he's a student of the beginner class. He's not even eighteen years old yet.”
Commander Qiu looked at this extraordinary young man and asked curiously,""You're not even eighteen yet and you want to go to the battlefield? The battlefield was a place for life and death duels.”
"I'm not afraid. I want to fight the bandits to the death!”
"Long Kong 'er, you're still young. It's not too late for you to join the army next year.”
Commander Qiu said,"Yes, you're still young. I'll definitely take you in next year."”
"Although I am young, I can still kill enemies. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
"There's no need to perform. I know your martial arts skills are outstanding. But you haven't reached the age."
Hearing this, Commander Qiu became excited. He turned to Hall Master Mei and said,""Don't worry, Master Mei. It's fine if you're a little younger. The army will make the necessary arrangements. The army needed soldiers who looked young but had outstanding martial arts skills.”
"Commander Qiu agreed?" Long Kong 'er immediately said.”
"What do you think, Hall Master Mei?" asked Commander Qiu.”
"If you insist on going, then go ahead," said Hall Master Mei to Long Kong 'er.”
Long Kong 'er jumped up happily and hugged Long Xiaoguang, saying,""I'm a warrior, I'm a warrior!”
Long Xiaoguang said sadly,"Long Kong 'er, you went to the army, we stayed."”
Only then did Long Kong 'er realize what would happen to his good friends, Mei Ruxue, Su Lanyu, and Long Xiaoguang, after he left the Dragon Mountain Martial Arts School.
He was about to leave the Longshan Martial Arts School tomorrow. Mei Ruxue and Long Kong 'er met under the towering ancient tree outside the dojo. The moonlight had just risen, and the night was hazy. The rolling mountains were covered with a layer of black gauze. The croaking of frogs was very clear, and the air was even more tranquil. Mei Ruxue was wearing a long red dress. She stood tall and slender, and her long black hair, which was usually tied up in a ponytail, was let loose, exuding a pleasant fragrance. There seemed to be tears flashing in those seductive eyes. She and Long Kong 'er stood with their backs against the tree, silently looking into the distance.
"Long Kong 'er, are you leaving tomorrow?" Mei Ruxue asked after a long while.”
"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know when he'll be back. Maybe after we eliminate the bandits."
"When will that be?"
"Maybe one or two years, maybe not.”
Mei Ruxue's crystal-clear tears fell.""Long Kong 'er, don't say that. I want you to come back and live well.”
"The battlefield is a place of life and death. No one can guarantee that they won't die.”
"Then I'll go with you."
"You? Only seventeen."
"I want my dad to tell Commander Qiu.”
"Alright then."
"Remember to send me a letter when you reach the army. I want to know where you are.”
"I definitely will."
"Then let's go back."
"Alright."
On this morning, eleven new soldiers of the People's Liberation Army wore red flowers on their chests and stood in a row in the field. The teachers and students stood in two rows on the side. Hall Master Mei and the teachers and students of the dojo sent the new soldiers off together. Dojo Master Mei gave each new soldier a steel knife and bade them farewell. She told them to obey the command, obey the military discipline, kill more bandits, and bring glory to the Dojo. When it was Long Kong 'er's turn, Hall Master Mei handed him the Wind and Thunder Sword and instructed him,""Long Kong 'er, you're the youngest. You have to be calm and meticulous. You have to let this Wind Thunder Sword be stained with the blood of the bandits so that you can destroy the bandits and return victorious as soon as possible!”
Captain Yang of the special forces, who had come to receive the soldiers, shook hands with Hall Master Mei and ordered,""Warriors, let's go!"
The eleven new soldiers turned around and walked out of the gate. As they watched them leave, Hall Master Mei and the teachers and students waved goodbye to them. Mei Ruxue, Su Lanyu, and Long Xiaoguang followed behind the troops. Mei Ruxue cried out with tears in her eyes,""Long Kong 'er."
Long Kong 'er turned her head and waved her hand, saying,""You guys can go back. I will be back!"
The special forces team quickly disappeared into the forest.
After this batch of new warriors from Longshan Martial School joined the army, they were divided into two groups after ten days of training in the regimental headquarters. Six of them were assigned to Battalion Commander Duan's troops, while Long Kong 'er and the four new soldiers were assigned to the special forces. Captain Yang formed a team of five new soldiers and ten veterans, and appointed Platoon Leader Sun as the team leader.
On this day, Platoon Leader Sun received an order to search the area near Banshan Pavilion.
Half-Mountain Pavilion was a pavilion built on the mountainside of Dragon Mountain. This was a pavilion built during the Ming Dynasty. It had stone steps, and there was a plaque on the pavilion with the words " Half-Mountain Pavilion " written on it. The pavilion had carved beams and painted pillars. It had an octagonal roof, eight stone pillars, and six long stone stools. A kind-hearted gentleman donated money to build this half-mountain pavilion here for people to rest, shelter from the rain, and enjoy the cool.
Long Kong 'er jumped onto a big tree and used her binoculars to observe carefully. She saw an octagonal pavilion and two abandoned houses. She immediately jumped down from the tree and reported to Platoon Leader Sun. Platoon Leader Sun heard from an old hunter that the villagers said that there was a secret passage near the Half-Mountain Pavilion, but we had never discovered it. Once, when he was hunting on the mountain, he suddenly saw a large group of bandits appearing in the pavilion halfway up the mountain. They seemed to have emerged from the ground. Platoon Leader Sun thought that the legends were not to be believed, but it was a fact that the bandits appeared at the Half-mountain Pavilion. There would definitely be traces of bandits nearby. Platoon Leader Sun ordered everyone to be vigilant and advance carefully.
When they arrived at the pavilion, Platoon Leader Sun divided the soldiers into three groups and searched the mountain in three directions. Long Kong 'er and Platoon Leader Sun were in a group as they searched along the mountain path. In Platoon Leader Sun's group, besides Long Kong 'er who was a new soldier, there was also a new soldier who came from the Dragon Mountain Dojo. This person was called Ye Fei. Ye Fei was only twenty years old, and he was born with a strong and fierce aura. He was good at saber techniques, and his saber techniques were precise and fierce. Among the 16 special forces members, except for Long Kong 'er and Ye Fei who took the initiative to ask for pistols, the rest were equipped with submachine guns.
Ye Fei walked beside Long Kong 'er, holding a steel knife in his left hand and staring at the weeds. Sometimes, the weeds were too deep and blocked his body. He used the steel knife to push the weeds away. He suddenly stopped and let out an " Ah!"
"What?" Long Kong 'er turned around and asked in surprise.”
"There's a situation," Ye Fei said nervously.”
Long Kong 'er walked over.
Ye Fei felt something soft sliding under his feet. He stepped on it with all his might and used his knife to pry open the grass under his feet. When he found that it was a gray snake, he immediately waved his knife and the snake head immediately rolled to the side. Seeing that it was a snake, Long Kong 'er smiled and said,""I thought it was an enemy situation and made a fuss over nothing.”
"This is a poisonous snake. They are also enemies."
"This is how you kill bandits.”
"Of course."
Platoon Leader Sun saw them talking and criticized,""Don't speak. Search carefully."
"Yes," Ye Fei said.
Everyone carefully searched the cave, cemetery, houses, and suspicious items left on the ground.
