As the quintessence of the nation, martial arts can even be used as a job.

Among the three hundred and sixty lines, there is one called Wu Xing.

Since the beginning of the Republic of China, there has been almost no peace in this world. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the rich will let their children practice martial arts, but for the poor, learning martial arts is a means and skill to make a living.

Starting from the pigtail dynasty, due to the rise of Shanxi merchant bankers and the popularity of bodyguards, martial arts became an industry to make a living.

For poor people, it is really difficult to become a martial arts apprentice.

Martial arts inherently requires individual teaching. The master has to use or even create various conditions in order for the apprentice to understand the principles of martial arts. The effort he puts in is more laborious than raising a son.

Under normal circumstances, the apprentices basically stay at the master's house for food and accommodation, so that they have more time to figure out and study.

Rich families will directly invite some famous martial arts masters to live in their homes and teach their children.

When a child from a poor family is brought to learn martial arts, after the master has almost taught the apprentice the skills to make a living, the apprentice needs to bear the obligation to support the master. Master and apprentice are like father and son.

But when there are more people learning martial arts, the more narrow-minded masters will worry that the disciples will starve to death, so they have to pass down their own kung fu to their sons instead of daughters. After all, women will get married, and practicing martial arts basically means fighting with others. In addition,

The warlords fought in melee, and countless people died in the battle. As a result, some excellent martial arts essence was lost.

As for opening a studio to teach skills, apprentices can basically only learn a little bit.

In the mountains outside the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Liu Manhe, the staff officer of the special agent group, was training with a group of soldiers, all of whom were jumping up and down the steep cliff like mud monkeys.

A correspondent hurriedly walked over on the muddy road and looked around: "Hey, what are you doing here? Where is Staff Liu? There is a mission!"

A young man on the ground whose nose and mouth could not be seen clearly let go of the other clay monkey who was pressed down, stood up and walked towards the correspondent: "Xiao Ding? What's your mission?"

"Report! The regiment commander orders you to immediately select an elite platoon, assemble it fully armed, and be on standby!"

Staff Officer Liu is only seventeen years old!

A native of Wu'an, his parents died when he was young, and he has been living with his uncle. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, he practiced martial arts since he was a child. At the age of only twelve, he joined the Eighth Route Army without telling his family. Because he was too young, he was placed in the art troupe.

He is serious and responsible at work, down-to-earth, and has a foundation in martial arts. He does not like to do propaganda work in the art troupe. He only wants to fight on the front line. Unfortunately, he is too young, so he pesters the chief to transfer him to the Taohuayu Arsenal.

In the arsenal, he began to learn gun repair and became familiar with the performance of various weapons. With a foundation in martial arts, he quickly learned to shoot accurately.

Later, he was assigned to study in the teaching team. At the graduation ceremony, he showed amazing marksmanship and was directly spotted by the head of the secret service, and was transferred to the Eighth Route Army headquarters to be responsible for security work.

He participated in the Battle of Guanjianao and the Battle of Huangyadong in many battles. He fought fiercely with the enemy for ten days and ten nights, wiping out more than a thousand enemies.

"I said, tell me if you have any good news!" Staff Liu looked at the correspondent and asked seriously.

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!" The correspondent rolled his eyes at Staff Liu, turned around and left.

"Why are you laughing? Let's all gather together and change our clothes!" Staff Liu, who was rolled his eyes, felt pleased with himself. He gathered the elites? They were probably going to go out to perform a mission. Hehe, he finally got the chance.

Staff Officer Liu and his team immediately packed up their training equipment and ran back to the dormitory happily.

He asked a squad leader to change clothes and go to the arsenal to collect equipment. The soldiers made preparations individually while he turned around and ran to the regiment headquarters.

Along the way, he was dressed like a mud monkey, which attracted passers-by's attention. It was not until he ran past that they were dumbfounded to recognize him and couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Controller Liu, you look very special when you are dressed in mud. You have a smile on your face. What's the good thing?" As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the regiment department and saw Staff Liu arriving, the young guard immediately greeted him.

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with you!" Staff Officer Liu rushed directly from the guard to the regiment headquarters.

"What the hell, hey, one day, I will go on a mission with you!" the guard made up his mind.

"Report!" Staff Liu ran into the regimental leader's office in two steps.

"Okay, Staff Officer Liu, have you been notified?" Captain Ou in the room raised his head, feeling majestic. He had few soldiers, so he had to let this seventeen-year-old boy become a staff officer.

"Report to the regiment leader and promise to complete the mission! Hehe..." Upon seeing the regiment leader, the expression on Staff Liu's face immediately changed.

"Don't make me laugh, look at you... what do you look like? The division has to carry out an important mission. You hurry up and select a platoon with strong combat effectiveness. All of them must be comrades with strong ideas. Let's set out early tomorrow morning!

"Captain Ou gave a serious order.

"Okay, where are you going? Going out of the mountain?"

"When did you learn to be so talkative...Huh? This matter is kept secret. We will leave before dawn tomorrow. You will know then!" Captain Ou wanted to kick him, but he was afraid of dirtying his new cloth shoes.

, this guy obviously did this on purpose.

"Yes." Staff Officer Liu looked at the regiment leader's leg that was about to move and made preparations. Fortunately, he didn't kick him.

"Get out of here!"

Seeing this guy running out, Captain Ou shook his head helplessly. He had to be responsible for the security of the headquarters. The task to be carried out this time was not too difficult, so there should be no problem in arranging him there.

The last time the Japanese raided the headquarters, the special agent group suffered heavy losses. The grassroots commanders took the lead and sacrificed too much. There were not many people available for them. This guy is not old, but he has been through a lot of storms and waves. He is a good soldier. Seventeen

He has been a staff officer since he was a year old. There should be no problem in arranging him to carry out the mission this time.

"Staff, what mission are we taking?" Staff Liu had just entered the yard, and a squad leader who had changed his clothes came forward and asked directly at the top of his voice.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Anyway, we'll know sooner or later. Hey, do we brothers still want to practice?"

"It's just practice. If you get injured today and your chance to go on a mission is gone, don't blame me."

"Hehe, it sounds like you can beat me." The monitor looked contemptuous.

"Hey, you kid... do you talk to your superiors like this?" Staff Liu raised his leg and kicked him, but he was easily dodged.

"I think Baji Quan is more suitable for fighting the enemy. Your Xingyi Quan is too fancy, and it will be useless on the battlefield." The squad leader did not give Liu Staff any face.

"Xingyiquan is about strengthening the body. The focus of the Bajiquan method you learn is to control the enemy. It has a bit of a desperate meaning. Kill one thousand enemies and damage yourself eight hundred. I will deal with you one day after I have mastered it."

"Just brag, how can there be so many opportunities to get close on the battlefield? Even if you try to stab, you'll still be stabbed with a rifle!"

"Okay, okay, Bajiquan is really as powerful as you said. Why don't you go and kill all the Japanese?"

"What are you talking about? Our ancestor Lai created Baji, and later it was regarded as eight skills in the Ming Dynasty army. During the troubled times, the anti-Japanese Qi army went to Shaolin and Wudang to search for martial arts, and then compiled the current Bajiquan

, this is a skill to kill the enemy, your three-legged cat kung fu, hehe, it’s really not good enough. The enemy can’t put down his gun and play boxing with you, right? If you don’t accept it, wait until we complete the mission this time before we discuss it?”

"Don't let your fucking clothes get wrinkled. What do you mean? One day, I will beat you until you have teeth all over the floor."

"Commander Liu, when it comes to shamelessness, I only admire you." The squad leader gave a thumbs up.

"Go away, you stay behind this time." Staff Liu wanted to deal with this guy, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"Ah? Staff, I was wrong. Next time, how about you give me some pointers on my Bajiquan without putting me in trouble?"

"Well, since you are so sincere, let's do it!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.

A circle of spectators nearby watched the staff officer bicker with the squad leader with great interest, and were even more looking forward to hearing some details about the mission from the staff officer's mouth. However, everyone was disappointed. The staff officer did not reveal anything this time.

Staff Officer Liu knew what these guys wanted to know, but he didn't know what the mission was.

Several people followed the staff officer into the house.

On the table were placed three Czech light machine guns, nine magazines, and three grenade launchers.
