Chapter 17 Heavy Snow

In 1937, Pang Guan led 24 people to join the army. At first, he was not valued by Chiang Kai-shek's troops. Until the Japanese army headed south, he defeated Chiang Kai-shek step by step. Finally, in the Battle of Songhu, the division commander discovered the role of Pang Guan and other martial arts people.

The Japanese army moved too fast from north to south, so Chiang Kai-shek decided to fight a tough battle, which forced the Japanese army to attack west, change the direction of the Japanese army's advance, lengthen the front line, and fight a protracted war.

The Battle of Songhu was this hard battle. Pang Guan happened to join Tao Zhiyue's Eighth Division. This division had more than 12,000 people, and the small group of Pang Guan's twenty-four people was simply insignificant.

But the battle was fierce and lasting. In the end, even when the ammunition and food were exhausted, the two sides had to start a hand-to-hand battle and launched a desperate battle.

The eighth division with the last 10,000 was only more than 800 people left, but it annihilated more than 4,000 enemies. Among them, the twenty-four people led by Pang Guan alone killed a total of 323 enemies, and one person killed more than 13 enemies on average.

Although in the end of the fight, only seven of the twenty-four people were left, this fierce record still shocked Tao Zhiyue.

What's more, there is one woman among them!

After asking, I learned that this was a group of martial arts people.

Tao Zhiyue immediately sighed, it was a pity that the 17 people who had sacrificed were so much that he hated that he did not discover the effect of kung fu earlier.

The use of martial arts people is not here. Fighting on the battlefield and killing more is not important for the entire war. If you stay in the rear to teach soldiers and pass on the ability to kill the enemy with a few hands, wouldn’t you have more chances of winning in hand-to-hand combat?

The Chinese and Japanese soldiers always fought three-to-one in hand-to-hand combat. Although they were three-to-one, they could not even beat them sometimes. But after seeing the record of these twenty-four people, Tao Zhiyue knew that the opportunity for victory in the hand-to-hand combat was coming.

The next day, Tao Zhiyue sent a message back to the central government and transferred the remaining seven people including Pang Guan to the rear. Li Zongren even specially approved the seven people to join the Central Teaching Corps and let them serve as fighting instructors, especially Pang Guan, who is the title of "Du Xiong", who is even the chief instructor.

When the news of the Battle of Songhu was heard back to the south, everyone in Jinlou was shocked, especially Uncle Deng, and a fire ignited in his heart. Ip Man and other martial arts people who heard Pang Guan's words with their own ears that day were even more amazed.

Pang Guan and Pang Renzhi, you must do what you say! You should be a good man in the martial arts world!

When the old man heard that Pang Guan was now the chief instructor of the Central Training Corps, he immediately stood up with a slap in his hands and said three words "good". His son-in-law is really a hero of the world.

But at the same time, he was not satisfied with Pang Guan taking his daughter to the battlefield. It was a battlefield! Ruomei and a woman were involved, but she wanted to follow Pang Guan to fight to death.

The next month, hundreds of passionate men came out of the north and south, all of whom were good at martial arts. They abandoned everything and headed towards the north angrily. They also wanted to join the army!

At first, Pang Guan brought out only 32 people. After the Battle of Songhu, only seven people were left. When the bloody battle in Changsha was fought, more than four hundred people were still there.

These people are all good martial arts masters from all over the world, and they have learned one or two crop-style skills.

During his tenure as chief instructor, in order to strengthen the level of hand-to-hand combat for ordinary soldiers, Pang Guan even took out the big sword technique of head-wrapped and brain-wrapped. Therefore, the Central Army established a unit dedicated to hand-to-hand combat. Everyone had a big sword behind them, called the big sword regiment!

Many senior warriors have studied and simplified their moves for days. In order to improve the level of bayonets, Pang Guan and others have developed three tricks of picking, chopping, stabbing, and three-pronged approaches. In order to be able to use one-to-many at critical moments, they have also studied the trick of turning wrists and horizontal spears and turning the butt stocks.

These moves are used in hand-to-hand combat, greatly improving the soldiers' close combat strength. Although the situation of hand-to-hand combat has not been completely reversed, it is much better than the previous situation where three fights and one fight can't be beaten.

From north to south, every time there is hand-to-hand combat, the Central Army relies on the advantage of large populations and these techniques to fight against the Japanese without losing any disadvantage! Sometimes, it can even win.

This situation was passed back to the Central Committee. Not only did Li Zongren be overjoyed when he heard this, but even Chiang Kai-shek was relieved. He even said the words "The people are really great men, and the national crisis will pass on the war!" on the spot. This statement was also published in the daily newspaper at that time.

Pang Guan received a special commendation from the Central Committee, and Li Zongren specially approved it, giving Pang Guan the rank of Major General of Staff. He had no military power and was just for glory. Of course, others also received rewards, especially Gong Er, who was like Pang Guan, and was also evaluated by Li Zongren as "women are not as good as men."

In 1939, Pang Guan was ordered to rush to Changsha.

Pang Guan knew that this time, he was facing the most tragic battle in the history of the anti-Japanese war. Changsha is the capital of Hunan.

Someone once said that a group of Hunanese people have half of modern history!

In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hunan fought for eight years. This was the most tragic place on the front battlefield. Street battles were far more tragic than tough battles.

The three battles of defense of Changsha were the only battle to completely destroy a city. China killed more than 90,000 people and treasoned enemies 110,000. This was the first major victory of the front-line war of resistance and a major battle that forced Japan to retreat to its original strategic situation.

But just as the war was in full swing, a piece of news reached Pang Guan's ears...

In 1940, Ma San became the president of the Fengtian Association.

This winter, it was snowing heavily, and the Gong family courtyard was in full swing.

This year's plum blossoms have changed their temperament. One of them has not bloomed, and the branches are covered with snowflakes. The plum blossoms do not bloom, and the snowflakes are very white.

A group of Ma San's apprentices surrounded the yard, and the old man only had Ma San's apprentices. At the door of the yard was Pang Guan's father, Pang Youde.

At this time, Pang's father's hair and beards were all gray, wearing a black cloak that was extremely opposite to the snowy environment, and put his hands into his sleeves. He clearly looked like an old country farmer, but his straight back and his always quiet eyes made these disciples dare not make any changes.

In the lobby, Gong Baosen was sitting, holding a teacup.

Ma San stood up, unruly.

"Do you know why I called you Ma San?" The old man spoke first.

Ma San immediately replied: "If you know, you will be praised by words and your hands will be formed into circles. This is an old saying in the martial arts world, which means that there are capable people behind them, and everything will make people three points. Your name for me is to remind Ma San to be humble and to be a person."

The old man did not express his opinion, but said, "You grew up with me since childhood. Today, I want to tell you about my unique skills."

The old man picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Has the old ape practiced the seal?"

"Practiced," Ma San replied.

"The old ape hangs the seal and looks back. Do you know where the barrier of this job is?" the old man asked.

Ma San replied: "I haven't heard from you."

The old man didn't say nonsense: "The old ape hangs the seal and looks back. The pass is not hanging the seal, but looking back. Do you understand what I mean to you?"

Ma San immediately thought that the old man was saying that he had embarked on a different path and wanted to turn back quickly.

Ma San was very confused at this time. The old man was like a master and a father to him, but he couldn't listen to him today.

Ma San's eyebrows entangled and gritted his teeth and said, "The soldiers are in constant power, and the water is in constant shape. What if... they can't turn back?"

When these words were said, the whole hall suddenly disappeared. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.

The old man's eyes were complicated, and then he lowered his head first, leaned his teacup on the table, and said coldly: "Then my Gong family's things can't be left on you."

No one knows how difficult the old man said this. Who can be ruthless without plants?

Ma San was his disciple whom he raised, and his disciple was Ma San, who was the disciple who passed on his mantle. In the old days, the disciples of the closed family were closer than their own sons, but now? Seeing Ma San walking on Qi Road with his own eyes, the old man couldn't pull him back, so he could only make up his mind and cut off his roots!

After a moment of silence, the old man stood up and took the lead, taking the lead with sixty-four moves.

Ma San had expected it, but was not surprised, and responded immediately.

Two people have a master and a disciple, and their moves are similar.

Since losing three moves that year, Ma San has finally reached the Mirror of Master after continuous hard practice over the years, and he has never been at a disadvantage when fighting with the old man!

The Bagua Xingyi is all profound boxing techniques for short-distance fighting. The two of them act like lightning, and the fist wind scatters everywhere.

At the critical moment, Ma San exerted force under his feet, jumped up with a small step, and pushed his knee between the old man's lower abdomen.

This is the killer move that Ma San saw Pang Guan's flying straight kick, and then imitated after years of research. At this time, he used it unexpectedly.

The old man was caught, but at the same time, it might be that the old man stopped. After all, he was his own apprentice, and it was understandable that he couldn't bear to use ruthless moves.

Just when the top was solid, the old man used his move to hang the seal, held Ma San's chin with both hands, and exerted force on his waist and abdomen, pushing Ma San out of the curtain in the lobby.

The old ape hanging seal is actually a white ape offering peaches in Baguazhang.

The white ape held her palms and raised her knees and pushed her crotch to her jaw.

Stand independently with empty chest and back, shrugging shoulders and elbows and holding them up.

This is actually a killer move. The old man said before that this old ape hanging seal is his unique skill. He holds his cheek with both hands. If he really exerts his strength, Ma San will definitely have his jaw shattered, his head concussed, and even his spine will be broken.

But at this time, Ma San only shocked for a while and had not yet been injured.

As soon as the disciples under Ma San's sect saw Ma San being beaten out, they immediately stepped forward and were about to rush into the sect.

Anyone who has never seen Pang Youde would probably not think that he is so powerful. Despite his extraordinary momentum, his white hands were destined to be not a martial arts practitioner.

But often the facts are not satisfactory.

Just as the first person was about to pass Pang's father, Pang's father, who was originally motionless, took action instantly.

When the eight poles move, the mountains collapse and the tsunami will fall, and when the quiet ones, they will take root.

Just a elbow bent, the earth shook, and the snowflakes floated up. The disciple flew out directly, crossed seven or eight meters, hit the door wall, and exploded all the accumulated snow on the wall. After two seconds, the man slid down.

Seeing that cracks had appeared on the walls covered by heavy snow, this is what it means to practice martial arts to a profound level, "beating people is like hanging paintings!"

"Brother Pang, stop! Let them go"

Gong Baosen's voice came from the door.

Although he is a family member, this is the inner affairs of the Gong family, so it is naturally Gong Baosen who takes charge.

Mr. Pang stopped, but the injured disciple would probably never stand up for his whole life.

Pang's father quickly lifted the curtain. At first glance, Gong Baosen was so angry that he was like a slept in the spring!

"Brother Gong!" Pang's father shouted.

...

Pang Guan and Gong Er were anxious when they received the news. He had to set off, although it was a critical moment of war.

What he left to Li Zongren was like this: "The threshold for the Gong family is high, but there is no villain, and there is no traitor.
