Takeshita Jun explained to him that his swordsmanship reached the eighth level.Unexpectedly, Takeshita Jun reached the eighth level despite his young age, and Zhou Weiguo admired him from the bottom of his heart.Seeing that Zhou Weiguo was very interested in swordsmanship, Takeshita Jun agreed to teach him.The relationship between the two is getting better and better. They often practice swordsmanship together and compete with each other from time to time.
One day when the two were having a sword duel, Takeshita Jun was out of shape and was hit in the vital point by Zhou Weiguo. It turned out that the Sino-Japanese War broke out and Takeshita Jun was about to be transferred to the front line to fight the Chinese army. This meant that the two finally established a relationship.The revolutionary friendship that had arisen collapsed in this way.Before leaving, Takeshita Jun hoped that he could still be friends with Zhou Weiguo, but Zhou Weiguo said that his opponents on the battlefield were not friends.Not long after, Zhou Weiguo was also transferred back to China. The first thing he did when he returned was to meet Xiao Ya. The two people who had not seen each other for two years cherished this meeting and embraced each other happily.When the war broke out in Shanghai, Zhou Weiguo used his fluent Japanese to pretend to be a Japanese soldier and sneaked into the Japanese base. The Japanese soldiers on guard did not expect that he was Chinese. Zhou Weiguo took this opportunity to kill several Japanese soldiers on guard.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo led several of his men to raid a small branch of the Japanese army from behind.The Japanese army began to shoot and kill the leaders of the National Army. Zhou Weiguo strictly prohibited his subordinates from saluting their officers to prevent the officers from being shot by the Japanese army.Instructor Zhang was almost discovered by the Japanese army on the battlefield. Fortunately, Zhou Weiguo was able to adapt to changes and rescued Instructor Zhang.Instructor Zhang, whose life was saved, promoted Zhou Weiguo to the rank of regimental leader when he returned home in the evening.Shanghai fell on November 9, 1937, and large forces began to evacuate Shanghai. The divisions commanded by Zhou Weiguo were at the rear to make finishing touches.The Japanese army pursued the retreating troops.
