"What?! This…How could Brother Bull lose to Brother Jiang?”Fan Xiaoyan stared at the scene in disbelief. She was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak.
Not only Fan Xiaoyan, but the entire training ground was in an uproar.
"No, you can't. Daniu really lost?”
"Could it be that Daniu has been secretly rubbing his hands too much these past two nights and his legs have gone soft? Otherwise, how could he lose!"
"I think it's most likely. Earlier, we fought fiercely and fiercely, forcing Brother Jiang to not even have the ability to fight back. In the end, he was beaten up so lightly that we didn't even have time to react.”
"This prodigal thing, the soup that our brothers had just tasted was wiped out by him.”
"Forget it, we're all brothers. Look at Da Niu, he's regretting it so much he's about to cry.”
"That's true. You can't blame Daniu. We're a group of men who gather together every day. If it weren't for Xiaoyan in the team, we might not even remember what the woman looked like. You know what you look like, so please understand Daniu.”
"It's just that Captain is stingy and loves women. He didn't even accept female soldiers when he expanded the team and didn't think about us single men.”
Da Niu, who was already feeling extremely wronged, heard the discussions coming from the surroundings. His face that was filled with grievance immediately changed from green to white to red. The grievance in his heart immediately became even stronger. The tears that had been held in his eyes for a long time fell down with a whoosh.
What kind of brothers were these? How could they bully an honest person like this?
He didn't hit people in the face, and he didn't expose people's shortcomings.
He would really be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!
Besides, it's been half a month since my last fight. It has nothing to do with losing this competition.
Da Niu felt extremely wronged.
"Da Niu!"
Zhang He looked at Da Niu and felt embarrassed in front of Zhang Yang, a newcomer. He shouted with a sullen face,"A man, a loss is a loss. Hurry up and retreat. If you continue to embarrass the team, I'll definitely lock you up!”
" Captain…" Da Niu's face was filled with grievance. He wanted to spit out a stomach full of bitterness.
"Come back!" Zhang He glared at him and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Wu…Yes!" Da Niu was like a little wife who had been scolded by her husband. She whimpered and raised her dirty sleeves to pull at her eyes. She held her mouth and responded unwillingly. She lowered her head and retreated to the back of the crowd at the training ground.
Seeing Da Niu obediently leave, Zhang He's expression became slightly better. He then announced,"Brother Jiang won the first match!”
"A loss is a loss, a win is a win. We can still afford to lose a competition.”
After the announcement, he glanced at Jiang Weihua and the people present. He paused for a moment and said,"But what I want to tell you is that what Brother Jiang said just now was right. If he really did it, Da Niu would already be dead.
It wasn't easy for our team to develop. We've gone through a lot of hardships to get to where we are now. Every brother is the most precious asset of our team. It's because of our brothers that we can fight the Japanese better.
Therefore, we can afford to lose a competition, but if it's a battle, we…can't afford to lose!
In order to kill more Japanese, each of us must do our best to survive in every battle. The prerequisite for increasing our chances of survival is to train, train, and train harder!
Since he had lost the competition, he would train harder and win it back in the future. However, he would never find an excuse for his failure because once he went to the battlefield, the enemy would not give him any chance to find an excuse.”
Looking at the soldiers on the sidelines, Zhang He's expression was serious as he shouted,"" Do you all understand?!"
"Understood!" Hearing Zhang He's words, the soldiers all had solemn expressions on their faces, and the veins on their necks bulged as they roared in unison.
"Alright." Seeing that the soldiers had a proper attitude, Zhang He nodded in relief. Then, he slowed down his tone and announced again,"Since the first round has ended, let's begin the second round, the spear competition!”
Following Zhang He's announcement, a thin and plain-looking man in his fifties walked out from the sidelines. He looked like an old farmer who had just returned from the fields.
"My name is Hou Zhu. Usually, everyone calls me Old Monkey. Little brother Jiang can call me Old Monkey too.”The old man gave Jiang Weihua a simple smile." To think that our brothers think highly of us, so we came up here to show off in front of little brother. I wonder how little brother wants to compete in this spear technique?”
"Hello, Uncle Monkey. Captain has already introduced me, so I won't introduce myself.”Jiang Weihua greeted him respectfully.
At such an old age, he could still think of sacrificing himself for the country and stay in the team to fight the devils. Just based on this point alone, the old monkey's awareness surpassed countless young people.
He had to respect it!
"Little brother Jiang is too polite. I'm just a half-dead old man, how can I be worthy of you calling me uncle? You should just call me old monkey, that way I'll feel more comfortable.”Hearing Jiang Weihua's respectful address, the simple old monkey immediately corrected him with an awkward expression.
When Jiang Weihua heard this, he only smiled and did not comment on the old monkey's words.
After greeting him, Jiang Weihua turned his head and looked around twice. Finally, his gaze settled on a small hill in the distance. His eyesight was very outstanding. He could see that many things seemed to be hanging on rags on the treetops on the hill.
So he smiled and pointed at the old monkey, asking,""Uncle, what are those things hanging on that mountain for?”
"Oh, you mean there? That's the shooting range where we usually train.”
" We shoot once every ten days," Lao Hou said with a smile." Because the captain was afraid that the gunshots would cause trouble, we chose a shooting range that was slightly further away. When we shoot, we go there to shoot.”
"So, you're saying that those things tied to the trees are your targets?" Jiang Weihua nodded and asked.”
"Ah, yes. We wrapped the stones in rags and tied them to the branches. If there was any movement, the branches would shake, and the stones would shake as well, just like live targets.”
Old Monkey nodded slightly and smiled." We usually train our marksmanship. The recruits will shoot dead targets on the ground. Those who are slightly more proficient in marksmanship will shoot live targets on trees. The marksmanship trained this way will only be useful when we encounter live devils in battle.”
That seemed to be the case.
Jiang Weihua couldn't help but admire this idea. He smiled and asked,"Did you come up with this idea?"
"Hehe, not really. I just mentioned that if there were birds on every tree, we might be able to practice shooting and our brothers would be able to starve less. In the end, it was the captain who thought of the idea.”The old monkey chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
