Temporary workers in the war

With Jiang Gong's order, all the armies rushed to the Great Wall. In terms of organization, they were really strong, except He Zhuguo's newly formed 59th Army, Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army, Song Zheyuan's) Army, Xu Tingyao's In addition to the four regular troops of the 17th Army of the Central Committee, Wang Yizhe's army, Miao Chengliu's division retreated from outside the pass, and Sun Dianying's 4st Army stationed in Duolun.There are 41 divisions of the Central Army, 11 divisions of the Northeast Army, 12 divisions of the Northwest Army and the Jin Army, and they are known as 13 troops.

Although the number is indeed large, the strength is very weak.In addition to the Central Army, other troops have a complex organization, many of which originally belonged to the Volunteer Army and the Security Force.The regular troops are also uneven, some have just been promoted from brigades to divisions, and some have not yet been disabled.Some were already understaffed, like Song Zheyuan's 2st) Army, which had only 2 people, of which 7000 stayed near Yangquan, Shanxi, and only 1 actually drove to the front line of the Great Wall, and each division only had about 5 people .

From the point of view of weapons and equipment, the worst equipped is the) army.Xu Tingyao's 17th Army of the Central Army has relatively complete light and heavy weapons and equipment.The Northeast Army was not badly equipped, but retreated thousands of miles away, its weapons were seriously damaged, and there were almost no heavy weapons.

The Japanese pirates attacking the Great Wall involved a total of four divisions, including the 8th Division of Nishi Yoshiichi, the 6th Division of Sakamoto Masamura, the 33rd Brigade of Nakamura, the Suzuki Brigade, the Hattori Brigade, the Black Duo Brigade, Ochiai Office, etc.Little Japan, which has always been dirty, has a strange name for its troops. It's called the Shenma Division. A division has about 2.2 people. Isn't it just an army?The establishment of a division of the Japanese army is comparable to that of Song Zheyuan's army in terms of numbers.

The Japanese army has a strong lineup. After replenishing the troops lost in the Battle of Jehol, there are more than 8 troops in total, and the puppet Manchukuo servant army has more than 4 people. The important thing is that the Japanese army has excellent weapons, with many heavy artillery and aircraft.The heavy artillery bombardment is impressive, and once the gap is opened, it can pave the way for the infantry.As for airplanes, the Kuomintang army has rarely encountered them in wars in the past.

The task of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War) Army is to defend the Xifeng Pass in the middle of the Great Wall. The army rushed to the aid of Xifengkou non-stop starry night.

Speaking of the) Army, I have to mention the famous Broadsword Team. Now that the situation at Xifengkou is critical, the) Army's Broadsword Team has high hopes.In fact, the) Army originally belonged to the Northwest Army. When Feng Yuxiang founded the Northwest Army, due to the rapid expansion of the army and insufficient guns and ammunition, he had to issue broadswords to the soldiers.

The big knives used by the Northwest Army are all traditional Chinese machetes with long handles, wide blades, and slanted tips. The little devils call them "Qinglong Dao", which is very good for chopping and killing.The big sword is composed of three parts: the blade body, the handle, and the guard. The total length of the sword is generally about 3 cm, and the weight is about 90 kg.The body of the knife is divided into the tip, the back, and the blade. The guard is shaped like an auspicious ingot. There are two types of copper and iron. The guard is 1.6mm high, 90mm thick, and 12mm wide.The handle is 25mm long, and the diameter of the ring at the back is about 215mm.

Feng Yuxiang also hired a group of martial arts masters to design a set of knife skills that are very suitable for dealing with enemy bayonets, and let the troops practice more frequently.Unexpectedly, the sword that was used in an emergency has become one of the most important weapons of the Northwest Army.

There are two main types of swordsmanship in the ) army. The first one is the Pofeng Eight Swords created by Ma Fengtu, a martial arts master from the eighth-level sect in Cangzhou, Hebei.

Ma Fengtu used to be the director of the White Blade Tactics Teaching and Research Office of Feng Yuxiang's Department. During the editorship of "White Blade Tactics Tutorial", he, his second brother Yingtu, third brother Changtu and eldest son Guangda created the "Wind Mill Stick" which combines guns with sticks, and was widely used by the Northwest Army. The "Breaking Front and Eight Swords" for training and actual combat and the third-way Feihuquan of Pi Gua Quan.

"Song of Breaking the Front Knife" is the knives of swordsmanship in the Northwest Army.Sweeping the autumn leaves with the wind, sweeping away the enemy is hard to escape.Strides are provocative like thunder rushing, lifting willows in a row and cutting down obliquely.The left and right guards are quickly retrieved, and the bayonets are changed step by step.

Eight swords is a typical two-handed sword technique, which combines the essence of classical sword techniques such as Qi Jiguang's "Xinyou Sword Technique" in the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zongyou's "Single Sword Technique Selection" and Wu Shu's "Single Sword Illustration" in the Qing Dynasty. Techniques such as waist-cutting knife, slanting knife, long-headed hard dance, etc., are simple and refined in movement, slashing and slashing, swift and vigorous, very suitable for troops, and are fundamentally different from the current performing martial arts.

When fighting the little devil, hold a large knife with both hands, with the tip of the knife facing down. When the devil's bayonet stabs at the moment, suddenly raise the knife to push away or miss the devil's bayonet. At this time, the raised knife is right on the little devil's head If you go up, chop down with the trend, and you can split the devil in half with one knife.You can also use the tip of the knife to move the devil's bayonet left and right in conjunction with the footwork, and at the same time hold the knife with both hands to stab, which is also very lethal.

The second knife technique is Wuji knife technique created by Li Yaochen, a famous martial artist.Martial arts master Li Yaochen has practiced Taijiquan since he was a child, and he also practiced Sanhuang Pao and Hammer Boxing.Li Yaochen later learned how to use hidden weapons, practiced light kung fu, he was able to fly over eaves and walls, jump over houses and over ridges.He used to work for the oldest and most famous member of the Eight Escorts in Beiping for over a year.

After Ma Fengtu left, in order to further improve the skills of the officers and soldiers in using broadswords, General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the ) Army, went to Peiping to hire Mr. Li Yaochen as the chief martial arts instructor of the ) Army. Everyone is responsible," he readily agreed to go to help.

After this gentleman came to the 29th Army, according to the characteristics of the broadsword, combined with the traditional Chinese sword technique, he created a new routine, named Wuji knife, and created the "Wuji knife technique".This kind of knife technique, when swung, can be used not only as a knife, but also as a sword stab. It is easy to learn and has strong practicability, which greatly enhances the soldiers' hand-to-hand combat skills.This kind of knife method strengthens a concept: a knife is a knife, which can be chopped; a knife is also a sword, which can be stabbed.

The length of the carefully designed "Wuji Dao" is similar to that of a sword, about 1 meter; the blade is not as wide as a traditional machete, but slightly wider than the hilt; The head is edged on both sides, and the edge is only near the handle. In order to make it easier to use strength when using it, the handle of Wuji Dao is 8 inches to one foot long, and you can hold the knife with both hands at the same time and cut at the opponent.

The "Wuji Dao" sword technique is similar to the Pofeng Basao: when the sword is drawn, the body of the sword hangs down, and the edge of the sword is facing you, lift the big sword, knock the rifle away with the back of the sword, and at the same time, the blade draws an arc forward, just slashing the opponent's neck.Because chopping and slashing are an action, the opponent often gets caught before he can return to the defense.

After a period of exploration, Li Yaochen thought that the backbone should be transferred from the army to form a special sword team, and he would directly teach the "Wuji Sword" sword technique, and then they would pass it on to the officers and soldiers of the army.This idea was greatly affirmed by Tong Linge, so the) army took Jian Yuanjie as the captain, selected backbones from various troops to form a big sword team, and Li Yaochen personally taught the sword skills, and then passed them on to the officers and soldiers of the army.

In just a few months, the Broadsword Team began to pass on the practiced "Wuji Sword" to all officers and soldiers of the army.General Tong Linge and Li Yaochen also took turns to inspect and demonstrate in various units, and the hand-to-hand combat skills of the soldiers improved by leaps and bounds.

But the army that was marching in a hurry suddenly received a news like a bolt from the blue, and the troops marched faster.
