Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 51 Is Chinese Martial Arts Real or Fake?
The main reason for this is that when you stand in the right posture, you will feel a flow of heat in your body, which will relieve the sore muscles.

Yes, it is heat flow, that's right, it is heat flow. It is different from the ordinary horse stance. When he was in the independent regiment, the Shaolin Temple standing posture taught by Wei Dayong was very different from the horse stance that ordinary people like Wang Gensheng thought of.

In fact, although Wang Gensheng was a flying knife blogger before he traveled through time, he achieved financial freedom by performing his flying knife skills.

However, the better he practiced his knife-throwing skills, the less Wang Gensheng believed in the so-called martial arts or the so-called internal martial arts in novels, especially the representative novel of Chinese martial arts, Dragon and Snake Romance.

Because Wang Gensheng also visited those so-called ancient martial arts successors on the Internet, but it was really ridiculous, and the actual combat skills of those ancient martial arts were really hard to describe.

In fact, it is more about training muscles and reaction ability. There is no internal strength as described in the Dragon and Snake Romance, or a so-called heat flow in the body, and then the ability to practice hidden strength that can be released from the body.

After all, Wang Gensheng himself practiced throwing knives through continuous hard training, and then formed muscle memory, so that he could throw the knives so skillfully.

But even so, there is still a big gap between him and Li Xunhuan, the best flying knife master in martial arts TV dramas. There is no so-called internal force attached to the flying knife. Therefore, when Wang Gensheng's flying knife flies out, it still relies on the power and the sharpness of the flying knife to cause damage.

All of this is done by relying on muscle memory and knife-controlling techniques. There is no such thing as internal force or any internal or hidden power.

But after traveling through time, meeting Wei Dayong and learning Wei Dayong's Shaolin Kung Fu, I felt different.

The heat flow generated in the body is indeed a heat flow, not an illusion. Therefore, in the world of Bright Sword, things like Chinese martial arts, internal boxing, internal strength, and hidden strength exist and are real.

Perhaps Chinese martial arts also existed in the world before Wang Gensheng traveled through time, but perhaps because the knight broke the law with martial arts, it gradually circulated only in a very small circle, and people like Wang Gensheng, who came from a grassroots background, could not even experience this circle.

What's more, with the increasingly rapid development of technology, even martial arts masters are of no use. On the battlefield, they may be killed by an enemy drone without even seeing the enemy.

Therefore, instead of spending time practicing Chinese martial arts, it would be better to learn how to operate a drone and become a pilot. After all, a good pilot only needs to stay at the back and move the control handle, which is safe and comfortable.

But now, learning Chinese martial arts is still very useful. At least it can enhance physical fitness, so that you can kill more people when fighting with the Japanese with bayonets.

After Wang Gensheng's explanation and his tireless correction of standing postures, within a month, 80% of the people in the cavalry company were able to master the correct standing postures and thus feel the presence of that heat flow.

Afterwards, Wang Gen began formal cavalry training. With the experience of standing still as a foundation, these cavalrymen rode more steadily on horseback. At least in Wang Gensheng's opinion, it achieved twice the result with half the effort.

For example, when Sun Desheng of the independent regiment was training the cavalry company's new cavalry swords, it took him more than two months, not just one month, to barely master the skill of riding and swordsmanship.

Wang Gensheng had only spent a month to get nearly every cavalryman in the squadron to master the skill of Mount and Blade, enabling them to accurately strike dummy targets while sprinting. While it might seem like just two words, mastering it was incredibly difficult. First, the cavalry had to maintain a steady position on their horses, otherwise the recoil could easily pull them off their mounts. Second, the timing of the sword swing had to be precise; swinging too quickly wouldn't hit the target, while swinging too late wouldn't deliver enough force.

After mastering the skills of accurately hitting the dummy target, Wang Gensheng no longer conducted targeted training. All that was left was to practice on the battlefield.

After completing the mount and sword training, Wang Gensheng did not start the mounted archery training. There was no way around it because the bullets were to be used to fight the Japanese, not to be wasted like this. So Wang Gensheng directly started the mounted throwing training, using stones of similar weight instead of grenades for training.

After all, when chasing a fleeing enemy, it is still very useful to use the power of the horse's sprint to throw grenades. There is also a skill to throwing grenades, that is, after throwing the grenade, you must control the warhorse to turn immediately, otherwise it will rush directly into the enemy group.

Not only that, Wang Gensheng also trained the cavalry company's ability to climb with ropes. Yes, it's the same ability as the Yamamoto Special Forces to climb from cliffs and other places.

Regarding this kind of training, Li Xiu once again raised questions:
"Captain, aren't we a cavalry company? Why do we still need to practice this climbing skill?"

Wang Gensheng was actually too lazy to answer Li Xiu's question, but when he saw the other soldiers in the cavalry company looking at him with puzzled eyes, Wang Gensheng realized that it would be useless not to explain.

So he said:

"Cavalry has always been the most elite and capable of all branches of the military. However, with the invention of firearms, especially machine guns, cavalry has become relegated to a supporting role. Facing enemy positions, especially machine gun positions, your cavalry are even inferior to infantry. But now there is a type of soldier that is particularly powerful, because they can often achieve a casualty ratio of 100 to 1, and can even determine the outcome of a war. And that is the special forces!"

Next, Wang Gensheng recounted the independent regiment's encounter in Yangcun. Although half of the cavalry company were new recruits and the remaining half were veterans, they were not soldiers of the independent regiment.

Because the 500 people in the new Second Regiment when it was first formed were actually drawn from the two main regiments, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment.

After all, compared with the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which have only about a thousand people, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment, these two regiments have much more people.

Each regiment has more than 3,000 people, because when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized into three lions, each lion had 15,000 people, and a lion had two or four regiments, plus a teaching regiment. As for the New 1st Regiment, etc., they were unnumbered regiments.

Therefore, these numbered regiments are called main regiments, and each regiment has about 3,000 people. Therefore, drawing 200 to 300 people from the two main regiments to form a new second regiment will not affect the combat effectiveness of these main regiments.

Of course, although these veterans of the New Second Regiment were not soldiers of the Independent Regiment, they had heard about the Independent Regiment, because the failed battle of the Independent Regiment was reported to the entire army for study.

Therefore, from then on, when setting up camp, especially when setting up camp near a cliff, sentries would be sent to guard the edge of the cliff. The next year in Chenjiayu, an independent regiment was arranged to guard the cliff direction of Chenjiayu.
