The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Long Fei was absolutely right, and Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but nod in agreement.

“Your teacher, Otto Skorz, was an outstanding soldier. It is remarkable that he was able to create this special operations tactics system.”

"The reason I say this system is very rudimentary is because there are many advanced elements that your teacher has not incorporated."

Zhou Weiguo said "Oh," and hurriedly asked, "Commander Long, please continue. I'd like to hear more details."

At this moment, Xu Hu couldn't help but walk behind Zhou Weiguo and listen attentively.

Long Fei paused for a moment, then continued, "Let's talk about physical training first. Your training requirement is three kilometers fully armed, while my Dragon Flame troops require ten kilometers."

"In addition, you require 100 push-ups, while my Dragon Flame Army requires 300, and 100 must be completed within the first minute."

"As for the others, there are many more. Let me give you two examples. For instance, you only practice swimming and diving, but my Dragon Flame troops also have armed swimming training, starting at three nautical miles, which is five li and four hundred meters."

During this period, the Huaxia Kingdom still used the li (a unit of distance) and did not establish the kilometer as a unit of measurement, so Long Fei directly converted it into li.

"Furthermore, our Dragon Flame troops also have wilderness survival training, which teaches us to survive by using all edible plants and animals in the wild when there is no food."

"In addition, we also have training subjects for decapitating enemy leaders. This subject alone is further divided into training subjects such as long-range sniping decapitation, disguised infiltration decapitation, surprise attack decapitation, and planting explosives decapitation."

"Of course, we also have many other training subjects, such as battlefield foreign languages, military topography, prisoner capture and interrogation training, climbing training, mine clearance and mine crossing training, map reading, infiltration, rescue, eavesdropping, coded communication, psychological training, and so on."

Long Fei concluded, "It is precisely because my Dragon Flame troops have had this kind of training foundation that we have been able to achieve such outstanding results with only eight hundred men."

Zhou Weiguo had never heard of many of the things Long Fei said, and now he no longer disagreed with Long Fei's conclusions, saying that his teacher's special operations tactics were too rudimentary.

Moreover, Zhou Weiguo was eager to learn the training subjects that Long Fei had mentioned.

But despite his hopes, Zhou Weiguo understood that given the current situation, he had neither the time nor the opportunity to participate.

However, Long Fei noticed the changes in Zhou Weiguo's expression.

"Commander Zhou, I know your regiment is about to participate in the Battle of Nanjing. If there is an opportunity after the battle, I would be very happy to welcome you to visit and guide my Longyan unit."

"My Dragon Flame troops will most likely go to Shanxi after the war. You can come find me there then."

Zhou Weiguo immediately replied, "Okay, thank you, Commander Long. It's a deal."

Long Fei shook hands with Zhou Weiguo and then said, "Commander Zhou, it is said that facts speak louder than words, so let's have a little discussion."

Long Fei's suggestion was exactly what Zhou Weiguo wanted to hear, so he immediately agreed.

Then everyone went to the training ground of the first reserve regiment.

When the officers and soldiers in the regiment heard that the regimental commander was going to have a competition with friendly forces, they immediately surrounded the training ground like an iron barrel.

"Our regimental commander is a top student from a military academy and even studied in Hans. This so-called Regimental Commander Long actually dared to compete with him. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

"I don't see it that way. Commander Long dares to compete with our commander, so he must have some confidence. Maybe the other person is really capable."

"Come on, who wants to bet with me on this month's pay? I bet our regimental commander will win."

"Alright, I'll bet with you. Since you're betting on our captain to win, then I'll bet on Captain Long to win."

"Count me in, I'll bet on our leader to win too."

"There's no such thing as losing if you gamble; I bet on Commander Long to win."

Long Fei and Zhou Weiguo stood side by side. Zhou Weiguo asked, "Commander Long, how shall we compete?"

Long Fei replied, "To avoid wasting too much time, let's compete in three things: physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat, and marksmanship, how about that?"

Zhou Weiguo readily nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, I'll do as Commander Long says."

Long Fei continued, "Let's not compete in cross-country running, let's compete in push-ups. Three minutes, let's see who can do the most?"

"Okay, Xu Hu, you take the time."

After saying that, Zhou Weiguo took off his watch and handed it to Xu Hu, then he and Long Fei put their hands on the ground and got ready.

Xu Hu took the watch, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Ready, begin..."

As soon as Xu Hu finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo and Long Fei began to do push-ups quickly.

In the first minute, the two sides were evenly matched, with Long Fei doing 102 and Zhou Weiguo doing 101.

But after a hundred, Long Fei's speed did not decrease at all, while Zhou Weiguo slowed down slightly.

Two minutes later, Zhou Weiguo had done 186, while Long Fei had done 201.

"The last minute..." Xu Hu shouted a reminder.

At this point, Zhou Weiguo's pace slowed down noticeably, while Long Fei maintained his initial speed.

"The last thirty seconds..."

Upon hearing Xu Hu announce the time, Long Fei simply put his left hand away and began doing push-ups with one hand.

This is no small feat, and it requires a great deal of physical exertion.

Zhou Weiguo then noticed Long Fei's behavior and stood up, speaking frankly to Long Fei.

"Commander Long, I admit defeat in this round, you win."

"Boom..." The training ground erupted in cheers, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"My God, our commander actually lost! His stamina is unmatched in the entire regiment."

"This Captain Long has incredible stamina! He can even do it with one hand. I'm impressed."

Long Fei clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Commander Zhou, you flatter me."

Zhou Weiguo was an upright and honest man who did not feel ashamed of losing in front of his subordinates.

"I, Zhou Weiguo, am ashamed to admit that I am no match for Commander Long's physical abilities. How about we start sparring?"

"Okay, let's begin."

After saying that, Long Fei began hand-to-hand combat with Zhou Weiguo.

In terms of combat skills, Zhou Weiguo and Long Fei were not far apart, so the two fought for several minutes and it was still difficult to determine the winner.

Given Zhou Weiguo's skills, he would at least be among the top ten of the eight hundred heroes in the special operations battalion.

Therefore, it won't be so easy for Long Fei to win.

However, Long Fei is Long Fei after all. He can be the commander of a special operations battalion. He must have some skills.

Long Fei deliberately revealed a small flaw to attract Zhou Weiguo's attention.

Zhou Weiguo was unaware of the trap and thought that Long Fei had only exposed this weakness during the intense battle between the two sides.

Zhou Weiguo seized the opportunity and delivered a flying kick to Long Fei's opening.

Unexpectedly, Long Fei dodged to the side with lightning speed, grabbed Zhou Weiguo's leg tightly with both hands, and then swept his other leg quickly.

Caught off guard, Zhou Weiguo landed on his back with a thud. Just as he was about to get up, Long Fei's fist, which had been swinging at lightning speed, stopped abruptly in front of him.

"Sigh, I lost."

Zhou Weiguo sighed and readily admitted defeat.

Long Fei quickly reached out and pulled Zhou Weiguo up.

"Actually, we're evenly matched, it's hard to say who will win, so let's call this a draw," Long Fei announced confidently.

Zhou Weiguo didn't bother arguing and asked, "Commander Long, how will the final round of marksmanship be conducted?"

Long Fei looked around and then said, "Commander Zhou, I see that your soldiers are all issued brand-new Chiang Kai-shek rifles. How about we use these rifles to have a contest?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Xu Hu, go and get two Chiang Kai-shek rifles."

After Long Fei and Zhou Weiguo took the rifles handed to them by Xu Hu, Long Fei said something else.

"Commander Zhou, this Chiang Kai-shek rifle has a sight of 2,000 meters and an effective range of 200 meters. How about we hang a water bottle at 200 meters and see who can hit it?"

"Okay, Xu Hu, there's a big tree on that hillside over there, about two hundred meters tall. Go hang a water bottle there."

Soon, Xu Hu hung up the kettle and returned.

"Commander Zhou, please go first," Long Fei said modestly.

"it is good……"

Zhou Weiguo didn't stand on ceremony; he immediately loaded his gun, raised it, and aimed.

With two sharp "bangs" and "clangs," the kettle was hit by a bullet, producing a crisp sound.

Zhou Weiguo deftly sheathed his gun and gestured for Long Fei to follow.

Long Fei smiled and nodded, casually raised his gun, aimed it briefly, and then pulled the trigger.

But all they heard was a gunshot, not the sound of the canteen being hit by a bullet.
