Chapter 743: Where's the Treasure?
This is the Philippines, and the little devils who built the tunnel fortifications in the first place did not have to use the trunk of a coconut tree that my grandmother did not hurt and my uncle did not love to strengthen the fortifications like their companions on Iwo Jima or Okinawa.
Guan Xingquan and the others checked it roughly, and all the wood used for reinforcement in the tunnel was tough and corrosion-resistant mahogany, and there was basically no decay.
Outside the tunnel is the vast jungle, full of fine wood, and the devil can have as much as he wants.
After probing inside, Guan Xingquan and the others soon walked out with two shell shells of quite long size.
"Squad leader, there is no danger of collapse inside, this should be a tunnel-type artillery position, and shells of this caliber are everywhere. ”
As he spoke, Guan Xingquan gestured to the mouth of the tunnel, "This should be the rear exit, the tunnel is at least three or four hundred meters long, through the mountain, and the artillery firing port should be in the northwest and north, facing the sea." ”
In December 1944, a major war broke out on Mindoro because the U.S. military wanted to establish a base on the island to support the Battle of Inyain Bay, which attacked Luzon.
Even if the artillery firing port is on the northwest side of the mountain, then it should be 5 kilometers from the coast in a straight line, is the artillery position a little far from the beachhead?
Paul also held a brass shell case and gestured: "105 mm caliber, so long, it should be used for cannons, and the range may exceed 15 kilometers."
The terrain is high here, and the range can be even greater.
At that time, when we were fighting on the island, we generally prepared for naval shelling and bombing, and the Japanese army rarely built up heavy troops on the beachhead, and only let us enter the island before fighting.
In this position, if the artillery of these tunnels is in this position, if the preset positions are shelled in several directions, they can not only threaten several small ports in three directions, but also shell landing ships, and even battleships and cruisers that are ready for fire. ”
Zhang Nan is a military layman, but he has also read the map before, and understands that a few cannons with a range of more than 15 kilometers are in a strong tunnel position on the mountain, which will really be a nightmare for the beachhead and ships at sea!
Don't talk about destroyers, 127-mm naval guns can't gnaw at these strong fortifications at all!
As for the 203, 356 and 406 mm guns on heavy cruisers and battleships, the power is enough, but it is necessary to directly hit a small range near the trench shelling position, otherwise no amount of shells will be in vain!
Battleship cannons are indestructible?
It also depends on what kind of opponent you are dealing with!
For example, in the Battle of Iwo Jima, many American infantry in front of the beach saw the overwhelming artillery preparations, especially for the condescending mountain on the island, and the 406 mm giant artillery shells did not know how much was used!
Many of the infantry were optimistic that the Japanese troops on the island were no longer worried, especially since there should be no living people on that mountain!
The result was miserable!
There are a lot of living people, but they have become beasts, the kind that are not afraid of death at all!
Even if specific precise coordinates are found, if you want to deal with this kind of tunnel-type fortification, the warship carrying out the shelling must be close to the coast, otherwise it will be a cannon to hit mosquitoes and blind shells!
Once they get closer, if the devil artillery, who is addicted to digging holes and has been preparing for more than two years, has enough shells, they will be able to find some unhappiness for those American giant ships.
The power of 105mm shells against infantry is terrifying, which seems a little small for battleships and cruisers, but it can also make you very unhappy!
There seems to be an old saying in military affairs that says: "A battleship that bombards a fortress cannon is stupid!"
These cannons of the little devils may not be as fast as the aiming speed, firing range, and power of the fortress guns in the general sense, but they are not without the power to fight back against the huge warship.
The boxes near the mouth of the pit were opened and looked at, and they were either empty or piled up with some debris, and since there was no danger inside, then probe inside.
The old rule is to set up lighting lines while walking, and use a blower to supply air inside.
Less than 100 meters into it, I found a fork in the road on the left.
A few people went to the left, Zhang Nan and most of the others continued to move forward along the main tunnel, and there was indeed a mountain of shell shells on one side of the tunnel.
It didn't take long to dig and there were rooms, and there were still several in a row.
Randy, who started the head, shone a flashlight inside, "it!"
A bunch of skeletons!
There is a cabinet on the wall of the cave, and there is an elevated bed in the middle, which looks like an operating table.
There was a skeleton on the bed, the upper half of the body was naked, and when Randy entered, he saw that the skeleton's original abdomen was still wrapped in some rotten gauze, and the lower half of his body was wearing half of the little devil's military pants.
There are still six or seven skeletons lying horizontally and vertically around the cave wall, all of which should be Japanese soldiers, and two of them are not completely rotten, but dried up by the shade!
After entering the room, Xiang Weirong looked left and right, and said, "In the operating room, there are probably too many wounded, and these are waiting to die on the side." ”
The guys looked around, but there were no valuables, and there were a lot of empty medicine bottles and salt water bottles.
Fortunately, time has passed long enough, and there is no peculiar smell, even so, the Mark brothers who followed are a little hairy in their hearts.
They are bodyguards, but they have never killed anyone, let alone fought, such a scene looks cold!
Thomas was telling the boys, "...... Learn more, you can't move these wreckage yet, God knows if there were any tricks set up 45 years ago, some tricks will blow up in 50 years......"
This counts as live teaching.
Lin Man and Zach went next door before, and before they could finish the operating room, the two appeared at the door.
Paul said at the door, "Boss, there are dead people next door." Uh, skull shelves, quite a few bones with marks of explosions and gunshot wounds. ”
Zhang Nan went to the next door to take a look, and went to the third room with the same face.
Mark and Jacob will admire their boss, in the face of so many skeletons and dried corpses, they actually look like they are nothing!
The other bodyguards have either been on the battlefield or are police officers like Zack, and the boss is a civilian.
Of course, the two brothers didn't know that their boss had been a tomb robber, and once they dug more than 100 old graves on an excavator for two days, and the bones of the dead didn't feel numb when they saw it, and of course Zhang Nan didn't care about these skeletons.
The third room appears to be a command room, with only a skeleton here, and a severed head.
Zhang Nan kicked the skull next to the corpse's torso, and said to the person on the side: "This is a commander, seppuku." The assistant next to him couldn't stand it, and he was stuck!"
There are assistants in the seppuku, and the skull still has ribs stuck in its abdomen, which have been corroded by the decay of the corpse, and have rusted.
On the wooden table with the military map was spread, there was also a saber with a red line on the handle, and it was an adjutant sword.
There was a flag of a little devil on the wall, a few documents in the cabinet, and things like telephones.
The saber is good, and it is still cold and shining after drawing out the scabbard, but this is not Zhang Nan's goal: where is the treasure?
