Chapter 725: Tengu Eclipse Day
As soon as the Japanese squad leader spoke, Shen Chong's body had already surpassed him, and the Japanese squad leader was in the midst of the shock of seeing the "old man", but he didn't expect someone to pass by, and the man just shook his shoulder lightly and squeezed him.
How wide the pontoon bridge could be was only the length of a small boat, and the captain of the Japanese squad naturally stood on the side of the bridge in order to make way for the horse-drawn carriages that were pulling the heavy wagons on the bridge.
The man squeezed his strength, but it was just right, so the Japanese squad leader involuntarily took a step back.
This is nothing to do in normal times, but he is standing by the bridge and now there is a river under his feet.
So the captain of the Japanese squad was squeezed by that person and stepped into the air, and he lost his center of gravity, and fell into the river with a "thump" cry!
The Laodao River is not a big river, and he stands on the side, so the water is not more than one person deep, but the problem is that the unit of measuring the depth of the water - "people" is based on the Chinese, not the height of the Japanese.
If Shen Chong Huo Xiaoshan's height falls, it will happen to be the tip of the chin.
But the Japanese are indeed short, and although the Japanese squad leader did not lie directly in the water after falling, he was still on the top.
There is no doubt that the height of the Japanese nowadays is much shorter than that of the Chinese, and the average height of their soldiers is only one meter six, but the average height of the Japanese has increased in later generations.
It is really difficult to say the specific reason for this, some say that Japan paid attention to children's nutrition after the defeat of the war, and it is also said that it is because the US military stationed in Japan left a large number of mixed-breed children to achieve genetic improvement, which is like the original horses in Japan were short, and later introduced a large number of Western horses, so that their horses became tall horses through crossbreeding.
Anyway, the captain of the Japanese squad, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, panicked when he fell into the water, but he knew how to water after all, and he floated up after choking on two mouthfuls of water.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers who found that someone had fallen into the water ran up to rescue him.
When the Japanese squad leader asked his subordinates to use the 38 rifle to pull him onto the pontoon bridge, he could no longer see the shadow of "Zoteng-kun", and as for the person who hit him, he didn't even see his face, but how could he recognize it.
The person who hit him was naturally Huo Xiaoshan.
Huo Xiaoshan had already figured out what was going on when he noticed that Shen Chong Xiaoshi was looking at the Japanese squad leader with an abnormal expression.
The war was so great that even the Chinese people in a unit could not recognize it all, but at this time, they were afraid that a Japanese would see that the Japanese officer was the one they met in the barracks yesterday.
Huo Xiaoshan and the Japanese troops of the Fourth Division were standing on one side of the bridge, and when the carriage in front of them began to move, Huo Xiaoshan deliberately leaned over to that side behind the car.
The brigade is marching, who would pay attention to an ordinary soldier changing positions, so when the Japanese squad leader saw Shen Chong shouting out Zuoteng, Huo Xiaoshan's shoulders were also there.
If you don't say that the wise man is not brave, the habitual thinking of this wise man is that whenever something happens, he will wonder what effect it will have on him, whether he will benefit or be unlucky in this matter, and he will definitely not be like a reckless man who is plotted to climb into the water and roar on the shore: "Who knocked Lao Tzu into the water?!" ”
This Japanese squad leader thinks about it, don't care who knocked him down, don't care who Zoten is, but now there are our big Japanese Imperial Army everywhere, I'm afraid where he came from?
He made up his mind to settle accounts with "Zoten" Jun, but just when he hesitated, something strange happened!
As soon as he opened his mouth to shout, he saw that no one around him was paying attention to him, but there was a buzzing chatter, and he looked around to see that the soldiers around him were looking up at the sky.
He naturally squinted his eyes and glanced at it, but he was also startled when he saw it, it turned out that the originally round sunrise was missing an edge!
"Wow, Tengu Eclipse Day!" "Wow, Tengu Eclipse Day! "Wow, Tengu eats the day! ”……
Many Japanese soldiers on the side of this temporary ferry saw that the person who had fallen into the water had been rescued, but at this time, they were all attracted by the vision in the sky, so they no longer cared about the Japanese squad leader.
The Japanese Yamato nation is an extremely contradictory nation, and they have succeeded in becoming one of the great powers by learning from the West, and in their bones they look down on the Chinese.
The word "China" did not have a derogatory meaning in ancient times, and was just a common noun like "China", but it was given a derogatory meaning by the Japanese when China was humiliated in modern times.
But you say that the Japanese look down on the Chinese, but they are inextricably linked with China in terms of historical inheritance, and this dog eating day is an unlucky omen and it is also passed from China.
And the Japanese really believed this, and for a while, the Japanese army did not cross the river, and they all looked up to the sky and stood in place, discussing a lot.
At this time, there were four people on the pontoon bridge, and they only glanced at the sun, which was being swallowed up by darkness, as fast as possible without alarming, and the Japanese soldiers who were looking up at the sky stepped on the pontoon bridge and walked to the opposite bank.
"Yaga! Who told you to stop? Keep moving! Finally, a Japanese officer intervened, shouting angrily urging the soldiers to move.
It's just that at this time, the pontoon bridge is the baggage troops, and the only front-line troops are the hob meat of the Fourth Division, how can this march be fast?
In the midst of the grinding and grinding of the Japanese soldiers, they saw that the "rising sun" in the eyes of the Japanese had been swallowed up by the "tengu" and became smaller and smaller, from the "moon half bend" to a small "moon bud", and finally simply turned into a bronze circle.
This is a once-in-a-century total solar eclipse!
As the sun gradually swallowed up, the temperature between heaven and earth also dropped significantly.
When the sun is completely gone, the heaven and earth are as steep as night, and the autumn tiger that is still sweating at noon is gone, but it seems to be early autumn, which makes people feel cold.
The Japanese troops who had crossed the river stopped again, and even the angry Japanese officer just now stopped, and they all looked at the vanishing sun in the dark.
You must know that the flag of the Japanese army is patterned with the rising sun, and a Hinomaru in the center emits sixteen rays of light in four circles.
But now in the land of China, the rising sun has been swallowed by the tengu! This is definitely a bad omen for ordinary Japanese soldiers who are also superstitious!
The Japanese are likewise superstitious.
They believe that a person's soul is in a person's head, and if the head loses one's soul, one cannot return to a shrine thousands of miles away.
That's why they were particularly afraid of the 29th Army's broadsword and beheading, so they put an iron scarf on their necks.
Before the Japanese set out from their small island nation, they hung amulets, which were just a small bag filled with a piece of paper or cloth or wood with auspicious words written on it.
The Japanese do not use a red pen to write, the Japanese are superstitious about feng shui, and the Japanese taboo even numbers and like odd numbers...... And so on.
And in the process of the Japanese soldiers collectively watching the rising sun being swallowed, Huo Xiaoshan, Shen Chong, Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi Suo had already gone ashore, and even ran away from the Japanese army in the darkness of the moment when the tengu swallowed the sun!
By the time the red sun reappeared and began to reunite, the four of them had drifted apart, and finally got into the woods to get out of the sight of the Japanese army.
