This is what Monk Wei was waiting for. He took advantage of his opponent's step to punch and leaned forward. When the opponent's fist was about to hit his chest, he turned sideways and kicked with his feet.
The master of the Mantis Boxing had no time to change his moves. He tripped and flew out, lying on the ground. He fell hard and struggled for a few times before he got up. He was very embarrassed and disgraced.
Seeing this situation, the deputy commander admired Monk Wei's martial arts very much. He originally planned to let his masters appear in order. Seeing Monk Wei's skills, he felt that the fourth ranked one was not a match for Monk Wei, so he called directly
The third ranked master came to challenge Monk Wei.
This master practiced Baguazhang. He saw that Monk Wei was very skilled, so he relied on the flexibility of Baguazhang to circle around and fight with Monk Wei. He wanted to first consume Monk Wei's physical strength, and then fight again.
Find an opportunity to defeat him.
Monk Wei has stayed in the Shaolin Temple for more than ten years, and his master, Zen Master Zhi Zhi, is one of the top masters in the Shaolin Temple.
Although his opponent had high martial arts skills, he was from a wild background, and his master was not a famous master. Even if he practiced harder, his achievements were very limited. It didn't take long before he was defeated by Monk Wei.
The deputy master knew that Monk Wei practiced Shaolin Kung Fu, so he asked: "Brother Eighth Route Army, you are good at Shaolin Kung Fu. Where did you learn it?"
Monk Wei said: "Monks do not lie. My master is a wise Zen master of Shaolin Temple."
The deputy division commander nodded in praise and said, "No wonder, a famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple, and it turns out he is a disciple of the Shaolin Temple. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After saying that, he arranged for the second-ranked master in the division to come out to challenge Monk Wei.
Monk Wei is not stupid. The reason why he wants to compete with the Northwest Army is to delay time.
Although he has played two games, his physical strength is still there, and there is no problem in playing one more time. However, in order to buy more time, he deliberately showed weakness and said: "Sir, I have played two games in a row, and my physical strength is a bit weak."
No more, you are a noble person, you won’t take advantage of me, right?”
The deputy commander was a face-conscious person, and he also knew that engaging in wheel battles was taking advantage of others' danger. He felt a little embarrassed to be so provoked by Monk Wei.
So, he said: "Well, I won't take advantage of you. That's it for today. Let's fight again tomorrow." With that, he took the people and left.
Monk Wei was very happy and returned to the courtyard.
The next day, the deputy division commander and his men came to challenge Monk Wei again. As a result, the two masters ranked second and first in the division were still no match for Monk Wei.
The deputy commander was recognized as the top expert of the 137th Division. He asked Monk Wei to have a good rest and he would fight Monk Wei in person tomorrow.
This morning, the deputy division commander came again with someone.
This time he did not wear a military uniform, but also wore a training uniform so that he could better display his skills.
He attached great importance to this battle. It was related to his own prestige in the newly formed 137th Division, so he had to pay attention to it.
In the past two days, the deputy commander has been observing Monk Wei's movements, trying to find a way to defeat his tricks.
After reading more, he naturally summed up some tips. He felt that he was very confident that he could defeat Monk Wei, or even draw at the worst.
Monk Wei felt a little embarrassed when he saw the deputy division commander personally taking action.
He was not worried about not being able to beat the deputy master. After all, he had practiced martial arts in the Shaolin Temple for more than ten years and had a good foundation. In addition, he learned some Sanda skills from Xu Dalong, and his fighting skills had improved to a new level.
What makes him feel embarrassed is that he can't really defeat the deputy division commander. If this guy loses face in public, gets angry and fights with himself, and the two sides really exchange fire, it won't be fun.
However, he cannot defeat him. If he is defeated, he will have to release the people as agreed and hand over these weapons. If he wants to get them back in the future, it will be impossible.
Therefore, he could only draw a tie with the deputy division commander.
But this is very difficult. This requires him to be well-measured in his moves, so he cannot go all out. If he is wary, he will not be able to move as he pleases, and he is likely to miss.
Just when the two sides were about to fight, they saw several cars coming. It was obvious that senior generals of the Guo army came to inspect the troops.
When the deputy division commander saw the commander coming, he had to stop. He raised his hands towards Monk Wei and said, "This Eighth Route Brother, let's fight later." After saying that, he hurried towards the cars.
At this time, he was wearing his training uniform, and the people around him quickly handed him his military uniform. He was wearing the military uniform as he walked, but he looked a little embarrassed because he was in such a hurry.
The car stopped, and an officer jumped out of the car in front. He shouted at the officers and soldiers outside: "The commander is here."
The deputy division commander hurriedly shouted: "Stand at attention."
The officers and soldiers all stood upright on the spot.
The Eighth Route Army was also in the second theater at this time. From a military perspective, they were also subordinates of the commander-in-chief.
Monk Wei and others also stood at attention.
A man who looked like an adjutant jumped out of the second car first. He came to the back seat, opened the door, and put his hand on the top of the door. A senior general wearing a general's uniform got out of the car.
This general has a straight military uniform, a tall and burly figure, and a face that is not angry and intimidating. He is the famous anti-Japanese general and the deputy commander-in-chief of the World War II zone, General Fu.
The deputy division commander quickly ran to General Fu, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Hello, sir, the newly formed 137th Division is competing with the Eighth Route Army in martial arts. Please give me your instructions. Deputy Division Commander Li Zhendong."
Li Zhendong was quite interesting. He had to explain to his superiors the current situation. He had an idea and came up with the idea of competing with the Eighth Route Army in martial arts.
General Fu was a fastidious man and returned the courtesy to Li Zhendong in a formal manner. He frowned when he saw that he buttoned the wrong button on his clothes due to his hurry.
However, he did not ask about this, but asked: "Where is your teacher Wang?"
Li Zhendong said: "Sir, our division commander is at the division headquarters. I will take you to the division headquarters and ask him to come and greet you."
At this time, someone among General Fu's entourage said: "Sir, I have already informed you. Commander Wang is on his way here and will be here in a moment."
General Fu nodded, turned his attention to Monk Wei, and waved to him.
Monk Wei had already sent a telegram to Xu Dalong. When he saw a senior general suddenly arriving, he guessed that it was probably the reinforcements invited by Xu Dalong.
He ran over quickly, arranging his military appearance as he ran.
Monk Wei came to General Fu, stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly: "Hello, sir!"
General Fu returned the military salute and asked kindly: "Is your name Wei Dayong, and your captain is Xu Dalong?"
Xu Dalong mentioned in the telegram that the commander responsible for transporting weapons and leading the team was named Wei Dayong, and General Fu remembered this name.
When Monk Wei heard this, he suddenly felt at ease and confirmed General Fu's intention.
He hurriedly said: "Sir, I am Wei Dayong, the captain of the Mawushan Guerrilla Special War Squadron."
General Fu looked at Monk Wei and said: "He is indeed a tiger general. I have heard about you. I received a telegram from your captain and came here to solve this matter for you. Now you can give me the detailed information.
Say it again."
Monk Wei recounted the ins and outs of the incident. After he finished speaking, he said a little aggrievedly: "Sir, we escorted this batch of weapons through the enemy-occupied area. The little Japs didn't even stop us, but they stopped us."
Yes. Please make the decision for us."
General Fu nodded and said to Li Zhendong who was following him: "Is that what happened?"
Li Zhendong is a good man. He did not deny or quibble, saying nonsense about the Eighth Route Army secretly hiding contraband.
He was an old subordinate of General Fu. He knew General Fu's temper and did not dare to tell lies in front of him. So he nodded and admitted that there was nothing wrong with what Monk Wei said.
Hearing this, General Fu felt very humiliated. He snorted and said nothing.
General Fu turned to Monk Wei and said kindly: "You have been wronged in this matter. There are no casualties among your people, right?"
Monk Wei now knew that General Fu was interested in him, and he did not want to cause any further complications. He planned to give the other party a step down.
Then he said: "Sir, the brothers in the Guo Army are also comrades-in-arms. Although there was a small conflict between the two sides, they were merciful. Our personnel only suffered minor superficial injuries, which is not a problem."
If Monk Wei keeps harping on trivial matters and whining about his grievances, he will make General Fu feel embarrassed.
General Fu admired Monk Wei even more when he saw how knowledgeable he was.
He said: "That's good. This matter ends here. You can take your people back now."
Monk Wei said happily: "Thank you, sir." After saying that, he saluted General Fu and ran back. He first led people to send out the captured fruit regiment commander and battalion commander.
The regiment commander and battalion commander had been detained for the past two days. Although the guerrillas did not abuse them, they still felt very angry.
When I saw the commander coming, I felt like a savior had arrived, and I wanted to vent my grievances.
The regiment leader said: "Sir, we are your old subordinates. This gang of eight-robbers hid contraband and did not allow us to inspect it. They also injured many of our brothers and even arrested us. They are destroying both sides.
The behavior of military cooperation must be investigated, sir, you have to make the decision for us."
The battalion commander also helped, looking aggrieved.
Li Zhendong just saw how Monk Wei behaved in front of General Fu, and he appreciated it very much.
Li Zhendong felt extremely embarrassed when he saw the regimental commander and battalion commander's devaluation. He knew General Fu very well and knew that he could not stand this kind of nagging behavior.
Without waiting for General Fu to speak, he yelled loudly: "You two bastards, you were obviously at fault first. You coveted other people's equipment and caused trouble for no reason. It's your own fault. If you can't defeat others, you will be beaten by them.
Even if you’re caught, you won’t be ashamed of yourself. You still dare to chirp here. Let’s see how I deal with you when I get back.”
When Li Zhendong said this, he was reprimanding his two subordinates on the surface, but actually he was protecting them from General Fu getting angry and holding them accountable.
When the regiment commander and battalion commander complained, General Fu was really embarrassed. Li Zhendong's performance relieved him. General Fu didn't want to mention the matter anymore and said to Monk Wei: "Wei Dayong, this matter ends here.
