Chapter 186: Eight Blades and Gun Test

Time: The ninth day after returning from the journey, around ten o'clock in the morning.

Location: Shuangqing City, in one of the most famous local martial arts clubs.

A coach who was said to have won second place in a top domestic martial arts competition, specifically a cold weapon combat competition, proudly introduced himself to Chen Tang:

"In the entire Southwest region, the facilities and coaching level of our XXX club are among the best.

It just so happens that there is a discount on enrollment recently, with tuition fees of only 2999 yuan per year; in addition, protective gear, weapons, venue usage fees, etc. are all % off.

If you miss it, you might have to wait a year, so why not complete the procedures now?"

After hearing this, Chen Tang didn't say anything.

However, looking at the two students in front of him who were wearing thick protective gear, wearing helmets on their heads, and fighting with each other with a Miao Dao and a Western two-handed sword in their hands, he felt quite depressed.

He drew a big cross on the idea of ​​coming to the martial arts hall to practice hand-to-hand combat.

By the way! Is it necessary for Chen Tang to practice hand-to-hand combat during the month-long rest period after returning from the crossing?

Of course it was necessary. Throughout the Eastern Front during World War II, many battles were ultimately decided by hand-to-hand combat between the two sides.

Unfortunately, hand-to-hand combat is his weakness, so Chen Tang believes that it is necessary to strengthen it.

After all, he is a veteran of a special forces unit of the PLA. His marksmanship was honed with bullets when he was serving, so it is already quite good.

After crossing over, since you don't need to act as a sniper, you don't need to work hard to improve your marksmanship for the time being.

However, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, the training they received during their service was quite limited.

Everything has changed fundamentally because of the modern form of warfare. Even under such circumstances, the PLA has not given up assassination training.

However, its greatest function is to cultivate the fighting spirit and courage of the soldiers.

Since we were not really thinking about a bloody fight with our opponents, the training time and intensity were quite limited.

So even if Chen Tang served in the special forces back then, he only learned some fighting skills such as bare-handed combat and capturing prisoners, and his level of hand-to-hand combat was not good enough.

So today, Chen Tang took advantage of the weekend break and excitedly came to the best local martial arts club, ready to improve in this area.

However, after a quick look, he found that his idea was a bit naive.

The main thing is that the situation in the club seems to be just a game between amateurs, and you can't learn any real things from the battlefield.

Not to mention ordinary students, even if the coaches were put on a real battlefield and fought the Japanese with bayonets, the winning rate would be very low.

Because if we lose at the club, at most we won’t get any medals or rankings.

But if you lose on a real battlefield, you will lose even your life. The two concepts are not on the same level.

After making an excuse to go back and think about it, Chen Tang left the martial arts club. As soon as he left the house, he took out his cell phone and started complaining in the "Traveler's Tea Room".

As he complained, the group suddenly became lively.

Obviously, hand-to-hand combat is a problem that everyone is worried about.

Even when it comes to bayonet fighting, everyone is actually practicing privately now, but it really takes time to improve your skills.

It takes a long time to reach the level of the Japanese, especially the Japanese veterans.

Soon after, the fat man Huang Yizi proposed a suggestion that seemed quite good: "Brothers, how about practicing swordsmanship?
It is said that one learns the sword for a month and then the spear for a lifetime, so the sword technique is considered to be quick to learn.

Back then, the Northwest Army's 'Eight Blades of Breaking the Front' terrified the Japanese. Why not practice this? There are plenty of instructional videos online, so they're easy to find."

After hearing this, Chen Tang immediately slapped his head and wondered how he could have forgotten this.

Without any delay, he hurried to a sports equipment store, spent two hundred yuan to buy a big sword for performance, and then went straight home.

As Huang Yizi said, there is a lot of information about the "Eight Blades of Breaking the Front" on the Internet.

Chen Tang chose a video on Tik Tok with tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments and started learning from it; but after only half an hour, he stopped what he was doing.

He didn't know what was wrong, but he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with his knife technique.

Because this sword technique looks quite beautiful and a bit scary, but having actually been on the battlefield and seen blood on his hands, he feels that the actual combat effect of this sword technique is very limited.

After muttering, I shared this feeling in the group again.

There was nothing anyone could do about this, including Hu Biao, who had traveled through time three times and had never encountered the true Eight Blades of Breaking Edges.

"Next time I travel through time, if I have the chance, I must find a veteran from the Northwest Army's broadsword team and learn the true Eight Blades of Breaking the Front." Chen Tang muttered...

******
Two days later, a little after two in the afternoon.

Uncle Bo, carrying an exceptionally large rifle, walked enthusiastically into a shooting range he often visited.

Last night, he finally bought the anti-tank gun that Hu Biao requested; the specific model was the Mauser M1918 anti-tank gun, an antique from the First World War and also considered to be the earliest anti-tank gun in history.

It's not that he can't buy some newer, more advanced anti-tank guns.

The key is that before buying, Uncle Bo needs to consider what time period it will be after the next time he travels through time; according to everyone's speculation, it will be either the end of 37 or the beginning of 38.

If that were the case, many more advanced anti-tank guns would not have been developed in those years.

So even if you buy it, you can't take it with you. On the contrary, there is absolutely no problem taking an antique like the Mauser M1918 anti-tank gun with you.

More importantly, this thing is 1.68 meters long, weighs 15.8 kilograms, uses 13.2 mm caliber bullets, and can penetrate 100 mm thick armor within a distance of 22 meters.

Don't think too much about using it to deal with mainstream Western tanks such as T34, M4 Sherman, and Panzer IV, but it is very accurate when used to deal with Japanese tanks.

So after careful consideration, Uncle Bo chose this relatively old anti-tank gun model.

At this moment, Uncle Bo carried this thing to the shooting range, of course, he wanted to test fire a few rounds himself, to personally check whether the trajectory is normal, what its actual armor-piercing ability is, and so on.

For this purpose, he also prepared several steel plates.

The thicknesses are 20mm, 25mm and 30mm respectively. I plan to try them out by firing a shot at different distances.

After clarifying things with the range manager, Uncle Bo first placed a 20mm steel plate at a position of meters.

Then, immediately put your phone on the mount and turn it on.

Why? Of course, every man, and some women with unique tastes, who doesn't like to shoot a gun, especially a gun of this size.

So when I learned that Uncle Bo had obtained an anti-tank gun and was going to test it out himself today.

Even because of the time difference, it's already midnight in China.

It did not affect everyone's staying up late at all, so Uncle Bo could broadcast the event live to everyone via video conference.

Anyway, for everyone in China, who isn't a night owl? Now is a good time to have a midnight snack while watching Uncle Bo work.

Annie even ordered half a pound of pork head meat without Hu Biao's knowledge and opened a bottle of Erguotou, ready to drink while watching.

So, while everyone was eating various takeouts, Uncle Bo set up the Mauser M1918 anti-tank gun on several empty boxes.

He took a standard kneeling position and carefully placed the butt of the rifle on his shoulder; as a serious soldier, he knew that this thing had a huge recoil.

Finally, after taking aim, he pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, amid the extremely loud gunshots, Hu Biao and others could clearly see a 20mm thick steel plate weighing ten pounds, fixed with two bricks.

He was knocked flying on the spot, leaving a slight wound on the boss's body.

This kind of antique is expected to rebound, and its power is really strong.

Chaozi started shouting excitedly, "Old Cucumber, hurry up and try to see if you can penetrate the 25mm thick steel plate with one shot from a distance of 100 meters.

If we can penetrate it, the Japanese tanks in the early stages will be completely useless."

The next second, Uncle Bo's voice filled with pain came:

"Why would I even try it? I knew this thing had a strong recoil, but I didn't expect it to be this strong. Now I feel like half of my body is numb, and I almost peed myself. Let me take it easy."

After hearing this statement, everyone was silent for a long time.

After Uncle Bo was sure that his shoulder blade was not broken, they all suddenly burst into laughter, filled with indescribable joy.

The above situation is also the normal state for the time travel team during the one-month rest period; just like hamsters before the coming of winter, they are preparing everything as much as possible.

Even if some of them knew they wouldn't participate in the next time they traveled through time, so what? They were going to fight the Japanese...
