The vast convoy of nearly 1,000 people almost couldn't see the end at a glance: not only because of the terrain, but also because the road conditions in Mongolia were super bad, and the garrisons here were ready to fight with China less than ten years ago, and there was no highway between the two countries, so this engineering battalion was equipped with a lot of construction machinery!

The other infantry battalion is also fully mechanized, and several old BTR-60PB armored transport vehicles with 8 wheels have arrived, which can be used as trailers if necessary.

It's hairy, the 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun and one 7.62 mm PKT machine gun on the single-man manual turret are still there.

Pavel and the others were even more hairy, and directly asked the people to borrow two cars temporarily, saying that this car was safe, and it could be completely barrier-free in the gentle slope grassland terrain!

The battalion commander of the Jibu battalion had no opinion, and the top said: Don't say that people want to use your equipment, it doesn't matter if you sell it to them, it will basically be the things of the Mongols in the future.

The battalion commander was kind enough to ask the generous VIP to introduce some precautions for the use of armored vehicles, such as it is better not to use the large-caliber machine gun to hunt, otherwise they can break the goat and other prey into several pieces - it seems that they have done this before.

As a result, he was reprimanded by Colonel Aleksandrov: "To call the general!"

Pavel motioned no, "It's all in the past tense, just call Mr. Pavel, it's better to call comrade." ”

But people disagreed, and after the battalion commander came back to his senses, he stood up straight, and the standard salute report - one day as a general, a general for life, and after the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Russian army retired, this rank mark will not be withdrawn, and they can dress neatly to participate in activities on important days.

General, Comrade Seal takes it for granted that those who speak Russian are also former Soviet soldiers, and of course the relatively old BTR-60PB will be used, so I don't have to worry too much.

And the reality is: as long as it is equipped by the Soviet army, the Red Devils will not be able to use it, and even strategic nuclear missiles are understood - work needs, and one of their tasks was to go deep behind enemy lines to find out the opponent's nuclear missile base, and then destroy it!

If you want to destroy your opponent, you have to know your opponent!

When the adversary can't figure it out, it's a good idea to know what your own side is doing, so as not to know how to sabotage it when you run into a nuclear bomb command center or a silo.

Zhang Nan was very interested in the equipment of the Soviet army, and specially went to see their bridge-building operations: military bridge-erecting vehicles are generally tracked and armored, and many of the territories are tank territories. But there are also wheeled ones, using the turf of heavy off-road trucks, and similar equipment should have been available in Huaxia in the early years.

The Maozi are mainly equipped with tracked bridge-erecting vehicles, and this trip is wheeled, which should take into account the reliability of the long-distance march of tracked vehicles.

There are seven or eight excavators of all sizes, and after 20 years, the Chinese engineering team generally only uses the United States, the little devil brand excavators, and even the Western European brands are relatively few, in fact, the Soviet Union and Russia have famous brand excavators!

How can a heavy industrial country not have its own excavator brand, that is, the famous Kovrov excavator, the quality is very good, the model is complete, and the size is available.

The excavators brought this time not only have conventional crawler machines mounted on trailers, but also wheeled excavators that drive themselves and use heavy off-road trucks as chassis.

There are also two tracked armored vehicles transported by trailers can also be used as excavators, this is a battlefield vehicle, T55 tank turf, with its own digging bucket and bulldozer blade, horsepower is orders of magnitude greater than civilian excavators.

Very military, very hairy, very professional.

There are bulldozers, loaders, and many tankers, support vehicles, cranes, transport vehicles, dump trucks, even power generation vehicles, medical vehicles, water supply trucks with filtration functions, and many trucks of cattle and sheep are indispensable.

The armored demining vehicles did not come, but they brought a lot of mine detectors, and it stands to reason that there should not be many people in this area in addition to the original Huns who had been active, and there should not be many people here in the next 2,000 years.

With less interference from human activities, mine detectors and underground detectors and ground-penetrating radars brought by Zhang Nan and others can play a maximum role, and no one knows if there are tombs completely hidden under the lush turf.

With a complete combination of personnel and vehicles, as soon as they arrived at the place, they rushed to camp near the river bank that had been planned in advance.

The vehicles were neatly arranged, the barracks were built quickly, and the Russian GIs were not busy and orderly: there were not many people with guns, they were here to work, most of the weapons were temporarily put into storage before departure, not for wars and exercises, and the machine guns on the armored transport vehicles were not counted as those on the armored engineering vehicles, and nearly 1,000 people brought up to 30 guns.

It can also be seen that although these soldiers are tired from the journey, they are in a good mood, and they obviously greeted them in advance, and they are relatively satisfied with the rewards they can get from this somewhat strange irregular mission.

The field cooking car is made on a fire for cooking, and many of the materials are prepared in the car and Cheerleg, so there is no need to be busy killing sheep and cattle when you arrive at the place.

Besides, there was no need for the people from the camp to slaughter them in the future, so they brought four Mongols and gave them a tent and some necessities.

Two are responsible for slaughtering according to the requirements of this side, and the other two are responsible for temporarily releasing these guys who need to eat: they are all arranged in the lower reaches of the creek, southeast of the camp, where there is no cemetery, so as not to disturb the "archaeological digs" here and not pollute the water source.

As for the slaughtering and cutting of the cattle and mutton and then transporting it back to the upper reaches of the river where the camp is located, the herders have the ability to slaughter the cattle and sheep without using water except for the necessary cleaning of the internal organs.

There is a shortage of water in many parts of the Mongolian plateau, and the meat has to be cleaned again when it is dyed and eaten for hundreds of thousands of years.

For example, Zhang Nan sometimes eats some fresh and clean duck blood, chicken blood, and pig blood, for example, if there is no duck blood in the hot pot, it is not a taste, and a special chicken soup in his hometown also needs to use fresh poultry blood clots cut into small pieces to taste authentic.

But he never ate meat that had not been thoroughly washed and cooked with blood, even if it was clean and unpolluted, and it looked awkward: the habits of many years were very stubborn, and the vast majority of those in this camp had habits as firm as he did!

Well, Guan Quan and the others can barely accept that the skin is directly peeled, the cut pieces of meat are directly put into the cauldron and cooked, or the beef and mutton cooked directly on the grill, and even raw beef have been eaten.

But now...

It's better to clean it up, you must know that the steak must be fully cooked in front of the boss, and none of the seven mature ones are allowed to appear in Zhang Nan's field of vision, otherwise it will ruin his appetite.

Not to mention the bloody fifty percent and three-ripe steaks, which are extinct in the New York estate!

The deputies at all levels of the Russian army are responsible for setting up camps, and the principal posts at and above the platoon level will gather for a meeting before dark, and under the guidance of experts such as Nong Bosheng, they will arrange the work distribution that will begin tomorrow.

This will be a big project, divided into more than a dozen groups of large and small to start work at the same time, each group of an expert or assistant to guide a group, against the M1 tomb at the most will be nearly 200 people!

There are not many people, the excavator is only responsible for the early and upper cleaning, if you dig to the end, then what treasure will be destroyed.

According to Zhang Nan's words: "First use excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, then the shovels and pickaxes of the soldiers, and finally look at the professionals." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning at half past seven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Nan did not pay attention to the upper excavation work of the M1 tomb first, but went to the half circle of burial tombs on the side.

There are 16 to 18 burial tombs in a semicircle, which are about 60 meters away from the A-shaped tomb, and it is suspected that the tomb of the Da Yan clan is semi-surrounded in it.

Each circle is about five or six meters in diameter, and more than a dozen of them must have been dug by hanging thieves, and the stones on them are scattered, and I don't know if there is anything left inside.

Zhang Nan is not in a hurry to dig Wang Zhaojun, the M1 tomb has a huge amount of earthwork, and today I will kill these half-circle burial tombs first!

Since it is an official thief, there is no need to talk about any civilized rules, and they all saw Nong Bosheng's 20-ton excavator on the command platform, and Zhang Nan also used barbaric construction here.

First, I transferred an armored engineering vehicle, asked Andrei to translate, and told the driver: "First push away all the stones on the top, and dig up the big stones that are difficult to move at the bottom first." ”

The tank engine is very powerful, and the sound of "boom" is terrifying, whether you are dozens of pounds or hundreds of pounds of stones, the bulldozer shovel is a floating cloud.

The stones were pushed away in piles, and an excavator drove over and dug down directly with a bucket against a round tomb!

It has been detected by ground penetrating radar before, and the metal reaction is nearly 5 meters or so underground-the circular tomb with a diameter of five or six meters is so deep, and these dead ghosts and Hun nobles have spent a little effort at the beginning.

Dig out the first four meters of sand first, and then it's the soldier's top - according to Zhang Nan's experience in his previous life, the remaining one meter of sand can almost ensure that the fragile products below are not crushed by the extrusion force caused by the digging bucket construction.

But even if there is a case, it doesn't matter, Zhang Nan doesn't look down on the pottery jars and jars used by the Huns, and Nong Bosheng doesn't care whether the items are damaged or not.

The experts are playing archaeology, and a broken eight-petaled unearthed clay pot is the same as an intact clay pot in their eyes, and even the broken one is more valuable for research, because the fracture surface can be seen.

Besides, when formal archaeology is carried out, Luoyang shovels are generally used to explore the ground and delineate the range, which will actually cause damage to the cultural relics underneath - often a team of people lined up in a row, with a certain spacing of the whole row of exploration holes, this porcelain, jade encounter quasi-finished, even bronze can scrape a layer for you.

Without damaging the artifacts below, the people above would not be able to judge what was underground and what the extent of the tomb was.

And this trip basically didn't use the Luoyang shovel, it's not that it won't be used, but the Luoyang shovel is almost useless here!

The soil of Mongolia has a very large sand content, and the sand is also mixed with stones, and Luoyang will either not be able to bring up the soil when shoveling down, or it will be directly hit on the hard stones, and it will not be used at all.
