Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 144 The game is over

"Let's congratulate the reconnaissance battalion on winning another match. It seems that the first place in the first Wolong Mountain Combat Tournament has already been secured."

"Reconnaissance Battalion, first place!"

"Reconnaissance Battalion, first place!"

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and other militia members who supported the reconnaissance battalion waved flags and shouted encouragement to the reconnaissance battalion's team that was competing in the arena.

"Haha, as expected, our reconnaissance battalion will definitely be number one." Niu Dali deliberately looked in Tang Xiaohu's direction.

Tang Xiaohu, not to be outdone, glared back at Niu Dali.

"Whether the reconnaissance battalion can continue to win first place in the next competition remains to be seen. Other participating teams should not be discouraged, but continue to fight hard on the field and show their best."

"Now I announce that the final match, and the one everyone is most looking forward to, will be the bayonet fighting competition," Tang Weiguo announced loudly.

"In the first round of the competition, the First Battalion will select one soldier to challenge one of the four other participating teams."

"First Battalion, keep going, keep going!"

The soldiers of the First Battalion below the field shouted encouragement, their cheers deafening.

Amid cheers, the selected personnel from the First Battalion and the opposing teams from other teams took their positions in the middle of the training field.

"start!"

At Tang Weiguo's command, the participants grabbed their training bayonets and charged at the enemy, engaging in a fierce back-and-forth battle.

Tang Weiguo and the referees watched each battle scene intently.

Before long, the competition ended smoothly. Tang Weiguo did not expect that the Fourth Battalion would perform so well in the bayonet fighting competition and actually defeat the First Battalion.

Ultimately, the First Battalion achieved a record of two wins and two losses.

"Did you all enjoy the bayonet fighting just now?" Tang Weiguo shouted to the crowd.

“It’s not satisfying.”

"I want to see more!"

"Alright, now we'll begin the second round. Two battalions will be deployed."

With the start of a new round of intense and exciting competition, the results for the Second Battalion have been announced.

One win and three losses.

The Fourth Battalion continued its steady performance and won against the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

After other intense competitions, the Fourth Battalion is temporarily in first place with a record of three wins and one loss.

"Now, let's welcome the reconnaissance battalion's team to the stage and see if they can achieve a perfect record!"

"The reconnaissance battalion will win! The reconnaissance battalion will win!"

"Alright, I hereby declare the final match of the first Wolong Mountain Combat Arena Tournament to begin!" With Tang Weiguo's order, the final match commenced.

Looking at the militia soldiers fighting, Long Wenying said to Tang Weiguo.

"Commander, it seems the reconnaissance battalion has won another complete victory. In previous competitions, every team that fought against the reconnaissance battalion lost without exception," Long Wenying said.

"After all, the reconnaissance battalion is the strongest unit in our militia. It's a bit unfair to the other teams that they are competing against them this time."

"However, I'm still a little excited. I wonder if there will be any changes in the final match." At this point, Tang Weiguo turned his gaze to the match venue between the reconnaissance battalion and the fourth battalion.

"Oh?" Hearing Tang Weiguo's words, Long Wenying also turned her head to look in the direction Tang Weiguo was looking. Long Wenying saw that the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion who were participating in the competition were still fighting the soldiers of the Reconnaissance Battalion to this point without being at a disadvantage.

"Staff Officer Long, his mother had actually fought the Japanese with bayonets on the battlefield before. Although his individual skills were not as good as those of the reconnaissance battalion, his combat experience was sufficient."

"I see. No wonder the commander has confidence in them."

"Haha, let's wait and see how it goes," Tang Weiguo said with a laugh.

Now only the soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion and the fourth battalion are competing on the training field, and the reconnaissance battalion easily won against the other teams.

"Reconnaissance Battalion, victory is assured!"

"Fourth Battalion, victory is assured!"

The militia members watching the game cheered for them.

The only team still competing didn't keep everyone waiting long. To everyone's surprise, the soldiers from the Fourth Battalion seized on a small mistake by their opponents and defeated them in one fell swoop, winning the battle by a narrow margin.

"The Fourth Battalion has won!"

"Fourth Battalion, we've won!" The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion jumped up excitedly as they saw that they had defeated the strongest team in the final match.

"Commander, the result is truly unexpected."

"There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. This is a good opportunity to remind the reconnaissance battalion that they are not invincible even within our militia!" Tang Weiguo glanced in the direction of the reconnaissance battalion soldiers.

"Alright, the last match is over, it's my turn to go on stage again." With that, Tang Weiguo walked towards the stage with a megaphone in hand.

"The third match is over. Now let me announce the results."

"The reconnaissance battalion and the fourth battalion are tied for first place with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss."

"Fourth Battalion, Fourth Battalion!" After Tang Weiguo announced the results, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion cheered again, while the reconnaissance battalion remained very quiet.

The reconnaissance battalion was somewhat surprised to be tied for first place with the fourth battalion, considering that the fourth battalion was a team recruited by the regimental commander halfway through the campaign!

"The First Battalion is second, and the Second and Third Battalions are tied for third," Tang Weiguo then announced the results.

"All three matches are over. I now announce that the Reconnaissance Battalion has won the championship of this competition with an outstanding record of first place in all three matches. Let's cheer for them!"

"Reconnaissance battalion! Reconnaissance battalion!" Tang Weiguo shouted, leading the charge.

After everyone calmed down, Tang Weiguo looked at them and spoke again.

"Through this combat competition, everyone can see the combat effectiveness of each unit. I hope that all participating units will not be discouraged, but will go back and strengthen their training, and fight again next year to try to win the championship for the reconnaissance battalion."

Hearing Tang Weiguo's words, Tang Xiaohu and the others in the audience secretly resolved to train harder when they got back and fight again next year. They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit!

"Now I will present the championship banner to the reconnaissance battalion for the first combat competition at Wolong Mountain. Please welcome Battalion Commander Niu to come forward."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Niu Dali walked step by step to the center of the training field, where Tang Weiguo was waiting for him with a banner in hand.

"Company Commander Niu, congratulations," Tang Weiguo said.

"Thank you, Commander."

After accepting the banner, Niu Dali saluted the militia soldiers and then returned.

"Now, I declare the first Wolong Mountain Combat Arena Tournament a perfect success."

"Clap, clap, clap, clap." Enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience.

"Let's take this opportunity to have a family reunion dinner tonight, with everyone having a bowl of braised pork!"

"Long live the commander! Long live the commander!"

The soldiers below the stage cheered enthusiastically upon hearing the news!

After the competition, all the cooks from each unit gathered at the logistics department to prepare a reunion dinner for the militia.

The family reunion dinner began in the evening, and the militia celebrated the new year with great enthusiasm!
