Chapter 403 - 391 The Pride of a Master
Shock, absolute shock!
Zhang Yong was definitely one of the best at waging war on this planet. Of course, he might not be very good at polar combat, but as a seasoned warrior, allowing the enemy to casually reach the back of his head was unacceptable.
Some excel at street fighting, some are especially good at indoor combat, and others are proficient in jungle warfare, which is all determined by each person’s upbringing and training environment. Someone who has never been to a jungle or received jungle warfare training won’t perform well in the jungle, and the same principle applies to polar combat.
But Zhang Yong was skilled at indoor combat, and he had fought in the jungle. He was familiar with and had experienced most forms of combat, being an experienced veteran; so even if he was not adept at combat in the snow, he should not have been manhandled and casually pushed around on the ground by Pasanin.
No one is invincible, and Zhang Yong is no exception, so an occasional defeat was completely normal. Zhang Yong would be annoyed, but he would never treat defeat as a great humiliation.
However, being defeated three times in a row in an almost humiliating manner naturally made Zhang Yong furious.
So although Yang Yi was curious, he still had to counsel Zhang Yong to prevent him from becoming completely disheartened due to the setbacks.
"That Finnish person defeated the Soviet Union back in the day using guerrilla warfare, right? The Soviets relied on severe cold weather to defeat the French and the Germans but fell at the hands of the Finns. So losing to a Finn who grew up here is actually quite normal, isn’t it?"
In the Soviet-Finnish war of that year, the Soviet Union launched a war against Finland with absolute superiority. Anyone would have thought it was a foregone conclusion, but in the end, the Soviets won a pyrrhic victory over Finland with huge casualties and quickly lost what they had gained from the war.
