Chapter 114: Hope
December 19, 1937.
57,419 civilians and prisoners of war were expelled from the Shogunate Mountain concentration area and set out to:
Straw Shoes Gorge!
Almost two-thirds of the people know what they will face once they reach Straw Shoes Gorge!
It's a rare miracle.
Theoretically, tens of thousands of people were unprepared and rehearsed before, and there was almost no chance of success in a joint operation of tens of thousands of people under a completely unexpected situation, especially since the vast majority of these people were civilians with no training!
Before, Goofy and his companions didn't have any hope that this operation would succeed, and what they did was just what every [***] person should do, whether it was successful or not.
As long as there is a mistake in any link of the operation involving tens of thousands of people, and any one person comes forward to report the information, it will bring irreversible disasters to the entire operation.
But miracles came about among these 57,419 refugees.
When they entered the refugee camp, Lao Hei and Suozhu's hearts were always uneasy. The news of the massacre and the rescue spread from person to person, and soon most of the people in the camp knew about it. Almost every minute and second of Lao Hei and the lock post were spent in worry and tension.
This worry and nervousness was clearly expressed on their faces, and their old commander Wang Yucheng had already seen their thoughts, and Wang Yucheng smiled and said to them:
"The energy shown by a person, a group of people, at the moment of life and death, will be unimaginable."
As Wang Yucheng said, when the day of departure came, he was completely kept in the dark!
The procession of nearly 60,000 people walked in a circle, with no end in sight.
Everyone was silent, and the team of tens of thousands of people was actually quiet, which surprised the people who escorted them.
Before the storm, it was always so quiet.
Morita seemed to feel a little wrong, and he was telling himself in his heart that something might happen today. With this concern, Morita reported to the captain of the Kanda Masase.
"You seem to be too worried, Your Excellency." Kanda Zhengzhong's face was indifferent: "Zhina is such a people, when they are afraid of being killed, they are frightened, they will naturally be regarded as obedient people, even if they put a butcher's knife on their necks, they don't have any spirit of resistance!" ”
Morita opened his mouth and swallowed the words back
At this time, changes began to take place in the ranks of the refugees.
"Hold on! It's coming soon! ”
"Hold on, it's coming!"
"Little dog, you must hold on, no matter how difficult it is, you must stick to Guanyin Pavilion!"
"Shunzi, Shunzi, don't sleep, don't sleep, it's going to be the Great Guanyin Pavilion soon, don't fall asleep!"
All of them are insisting on each other and encouraging each other, and this encouragement is also supporting everyone to drag their tired pace and persist in moving forward step by step.
Soon it will be there, and there is their hope to live:
Kannonkaku!
When people's hearts are full of hope, they also have the motivation to live!
Hopefully, we will always be able to create one miracle after another!
Lao Hei didn't expect such a scene in front of him, originally before he came, Lao Hei didn't have any hope at all about whether this operation would succeed, but now, he suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to succeed.
"Surprised?" Wang Yuxiang saw Lao Hei's thoughts, and he smiled faintly: "You haven't experienced it, but I have experienced it!" After that charge, I didn't have any intention of living, but Goofy dragged me all the way back. He told me that if I want to survive, I will go to Nanjing, Wuhan in the future, and continue to fight with the Orientals! It is because of this belief that I have lived until now! ”
Lao Hei didn't quite understand, but he seemed to understand some more.
At this time, Song Xueming rushed up from behind, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Brother Laohei, the brothers are all ready, they are about to go to the Guanyin Pavilion, General Gao, are they really ready?" ”
Lao Hei looked at the major and nodded vigorously.
Hope will always bring hope to these people
Guanyin Pavilion, December 19, 1937, 7 a.m.
Goofy put down the binoculars in his hand with a calm expression.
"Are you worried?" Yu Wenzheng walked to his side.
Gao Fei shook his head: "Don't worry, since things have already started, there is nothing to worry about." ”
"What if it fails?" Yu Wenzheng asked with some concern.
Goofy suddenly laughed.
"On December 13, 1937, after the invasion of China and the occupation of Nanjing, a large number of refugees and disarmed soldiers who had fled to Xiaguan along the river to be crossed, totaling more than 57,000 people, were captured by the Japanese army and imprisoned in four or five villages at the foot of the shogunate mountain. Because of Lian Yue's tragic abuse, a group of people died of cold and starvation; He was tied up on the night of the 18th and escorted to Straw Shoes Gorge, where he was shot collectively with a machine gun. The few who were wounded but did not die were repeatedly stabbed to death with bayonets; Later, the corpses were set on fire, and the wreckage was abandoned in the river. At the time of the sad husband, the butcher's knife is directed, and the mountains and rivers are stained with blood; The dead are innocent of this; Isn't it painful to remember this?! Erect this monument and mourn it. By working hard, and learning from the capital, through the ages. ”
This monument erected in the Straw Shoes Gorge in later generations will never be forgotten by Gao Fei in his life!
"I will personally state the facts of the enemy's crimes as follows:
After the Japanese invaded the city, they retreated [***] and refugees, men, women, and children, totaling 57,000 cadres and 417 people, and confined them to the four or five villages at the foot of the shogunate mountain, deprived of food, and many died of cold and starvation. On the night of the 16th, two people tied with lead wire, lined up in four ways and drove to Xiaguan Straw Shoes Gorge, after strafing with machine guns, they poked indiscriminately with bayonets, and finally poured kerosene on fire, and the remnants of the bones were thrown into the river
(At that time, the knotted person served in the Capital Police Department, and was injured in the leg by the enemy's artillery shell in a street battle, and hid in the Damao Cave of Shangyuanmen, a few feet away, and witnessed the tragic situation.) )
The above is all facts, and there is no hypocrisy. If the above offence is committed by the enemy, he will be in the position of an informant or witness when he can be tried by the court in the future. If there is hypocrisy, be liable to false accusation or perjury. this knot.

Gao Fei had such ironclad evidence in his mind again, and thinking of this, Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"History will definitely change from here!"
