In later generations, there was a kind of flying machine called a satellite that flew above the nine heavens, and when the satellite took pictures of the earth at night, some people looked at the strength and weakness of the lights in the night of the planet to judge where the developed area was and where the underdeveloped area was.

The reason is simple, because in developed areas, there will be countless street lights and neon lights, and vice versa, it will be dark.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai region of China is said to be the most illuminated place on earth at night.

However, if the time goes back to China in 1941, if there is a satellite to take pictures, it can only be a "rooster", and the top and bottom are all pitch black and become "black chickens", just like the uncivilized indigenous land in Africa.

Some people joked, not to mention that there was no light, if it happened to catch the Changsha fire to take pictures, there would be light in China at that time.

It's just that this is a sad "humor" that really can't make people laugh and can't even be counted as cold humor.

One night at the end of September 1941, when a team of less than 400 people marched to the banks of the Laodao River, which they thought was also dark, they realized that they were wrong.

The banks of the Laodao River have almost become a camp for the Japanese army, and countless torches, bonfires, and steel helmets and bayonets are shining in the dark night, illuminating the banks of the Laodao River as if it were day.

On the Laodao River, which was not wide, the Japanese army erected three pontoon bridges, and the Japanese army was crossing the river overnight.

After staring at the firelight that stretched along the river bank for a while, Huo Xiaoshan, the commander of this squadron, reluctantly ordered to avoid the Japanese army and swim upstream.

Huo Xiaoshan really didn't expect the battle situation to change so quickly, it was obvious that the Japanese army was already attacking Changsha.

A warrior is not afraid of life and death, but a warrior is also a human being.

It is inevitable that people's emotions will be affected by the outside world, and the light of the Japanese army's fire along the coast, which stretches for miles, exerts tremendous invisible pressure on the soldiers of the battalion directly under it at this time.

At this time, they were very close to the Japanese army, and no one could say anything, so the team became more and more dull.

No matter how stealthy the march is, it is inevitable that there will be some noises, such as people falling in the dark, such as spears hitting military kettles, such as two people colliding together......

So whenever a voice sounds, many people will involuntarily feel their hearts "through" and jump up and down a few times, until they find that the Japanese soldiers in the distance are not aware of it, and then take a few deep breaths to calm down.

The little girl rarely experienced such a march, and she felt so nervous, although the other sane self kept saying to herself, you are a veteran, this is nothing, it will be fine, but she is still nervous.

Even when Shen Chong came to her side and held her little hand at some point, she felt that her hands were trembling at that time.

In the clenching of Shen Chong's warm hand, the little girl slowly relaxed.

The little girl didn't know that Shen Chong had returned from the front of the team to see her after Huo Xiaoshan had been reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Chong saw that so many Japanese troops were not nervous or should be called moderately nervous, but he was full of desire to fight, and he really wanted to turn the Japanese troops along the coast upside down.

But he is no longer the Shen madman, he naturally knows that "stay in the green mountains, and he is not afraid of running out of firewood".

When Shen Chong felt that the little girl's little hand was no longer trembling, he let go of his big hand, and said in the dark to the little girl's little face Don't be nervous, I'm here, and then rushed to the front of the team, leaving the little girl with a down-to-earth and a man's unique atmosphere in her ears.

When the battalion under the direct command finally threw away the firelight of the Japanese army into a starlight-sized herald, and Huo Xiaoshan ordered to stop and prepare to swim across, there seemed to be a sound of relief from everyone in the dark night.

A person is not afraid of battle but is afraid of the silence before the battle, and when a person can maintain a normal heart in the face of that kind of silence and in the face of battle, then he is a qualified warrior.

After that march, some time later, Huo Xiaoshan said at the battalion meeting.

The Little Stone and the Sharp Soldiers were the first to go down to the water, and the Laodao River was neither deep nor wide compared to the big rivers, and in the darkness they could not tell whether this was the deep or shallow part of the river, so they had to explore the waterway first.

This section of the river is fine, the place where the river can not reach the top of the head is only more than 30 meters, and the rest can be crossed with both hands with a gun.

On the other side came the cry of a night bird that was a small stone study, which was a secret sign that the river could be crossed, so the whole battalion went down the river one after another with their guns raised, and the crossing began.

Huo Xiaoshan Shen Chong Xiaoshi locked Hanzi and did not go into the water, but Hanzi erected the Czech style, which was to prevent accidents and cover for the river-crossing troops.

In the same way, the small rocks that had reached the opposite shore were also loaded and aimed at the downstream.

This was a prudent move to prevent problems before they happen, but who knew that the accident really happened!

The sound of the motor of the motorboat suddenly came from the direction of the Japanese army downstream, and it was visible to the naked eye that two snow-white pillars of light in the dark night were actually moving upstream.

Damn, how could the little devil come to patrol the river at this time, all the soldiers became nervous, because the last batch of soldiers of the direct battalion was in the middle of the river at this time!

"Swim fast!" At this time, Shi Biao, who was behind the nave in the procession, shouted in a low voice.

Everyone didn't care about the sound of the water anymore, and they all sped up to swim or swim across.

If this is hit by the devil's motorboat, it is not afraid, and it is still easy to extinguish these two small boats with the fire of the battalion directly under it.

But the Japanese army 180 meters below is not vegetarian, as long as they surround it, the hundreds of people in the battalion directly under them have to throw this!

Originally, they were supposed to cross the river farther away from the Japanese army, but time waited for no one, and it was almost dawn.

Huo Xiaoshan thought that his people could cross the river tonight, but on the way, he bumped into a large group of Japanese soldiers, and this hiding and waiting delayed the time, and it was already the second half of the night when he arrived at the Laodao River.

The Japanese motorboat driving on the water came quickly, and this was probably the fastest time for the Japanese army in the Battle of Changsha, because all the roads had been destroyed by the Chinese people, but the Japanese army still relied on its concentrated attack to kill the Laodao River.

The "sudden" sound of the motorboat, and the soldiers of the directly subordinate battalion splashed in the water and desperately hit forward, this is really a race of life and death!

The Japanese motorboat arrived, and there were still ripples that had not yet been swept away where the pillar of light hit.

The Japanese officer on the boat looked at the water in confusion and did not give the order to shoot.

Naturally, he saw the fading ripples, but he thought it must be a whirlpool in the river created by the flow of water.

Besides, the commander ordered to cross the river and attack Changsha as soon as possible, and if the gunfire was only a false alarm, it would be a big mistake.

Little did he know that just a few seconds before the lamppost of the motorboat shone on it, the last soldier of the battalion had just climbed ashore and rolled his body behind a ridge on the shore.

The battalion was successfully not discovered by the Japanese army, but the Japanese motorboat came but did not leave, and the Japanese sergeants began to disembark, and they wanted to survey the terrain here overnight and build a pontoon bridge to allow the Japanese brigade to pass faster.

But at this time, the soldiers of the battalion directly under the south bank, who had already hid in the darkness farther away, hated it so much.

Because there are four people in the direct battalion who haven't had time to come over yet!

They are: Huo Xiaoshan, Shen Chong, Hanzi, and Xiaoshisuo.
