Chapter 200: The Entrance to the Cave
As soon as a few people got out of the parking lot, they did not learn the way Guan Xingquan saw a handful of backcountry skiers yesterday entering the forest area from the south side, but entered the ski resort with the intention of taking the first section of the cable car. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Spend money on tickets and sway up.
This section of the gondola is very large, with a capacity of more than 10 people, and in addition to the five of them, there are also four German-speaking Germans with ski equipment.
Zhang Nan was afraid of heights, so he sat honestly and didn't look down carefully: the other 8 people in the cable car looked at the other 8 people in good spirits, looking east and west outside.
The Germans were really looking at the scenery, or they were observing the situation of the slideway by the way, and Xiang Weirong and the four were observing the slide below -- according to yesterday's analysis, this intermediate slide can be said to have been reconstructed according to the general route of the original military highway.
The speed was not slow, and after almost two kilometers of running, the cable car reached the end of the first section, and everyone in the whole car got off the cable car.
From here, you have to change to a smaller gondola, and the four Germans don't seem to have any intention of going up, probably because the upper piste is steeper and higher.
The Germans planned to slide down, and Zhang Nan put together five of them.
"Now let's head south and follow the directions on the map. ”
Guan Xingquan looked at the south area from above yesterday, and everyone else will listen to him.
On the south side of the downhill, you can see a few traces of skis that were probably left from yesterday: a large flat field of snow in the distance, flanked by dense woods.
Especially on the east side, where the slopes are already very steep, reaching 1,800 meters above sea level!
All the equipment they chose was cross-country skiing, so let's go.
Going down the slope, this speed can almost be described as galloping, Zhang Nan was a little frightened: his own technology is average!
It stands to reason that he doesn't know how to ski now, but he told his brother-in-law before that he would, and Xiang Weirong and others thought that he learned this technique in an indoor ski resort in the United States, and there was no doubt that he had it.
And there are many magical things, and it becomes less strange that Zhang Nan can ski.
After arriving at that large area of snow, Guan Xingquan, the leader, stopped, took out the map and carefully compared it.
Pull up the ski mask and say, "It's unlikely that this section is too exposed." ”
Due to the snow cover, the five people could not accurately determine the exact location of the original road, so they could only move forward.
After 3.5 kilometers of relative plains, we reached the approximate location of the first inflection point.
The slope of the terrain ahead has increased dramatically, making it no longer suitable for gliding.
The traces of skiing that had been visible all along have come to an end, and those who have been able to ski in the backcountry do not seem to have the heart to challenge the higher difficulty.
Get off the slope and get ready for the climb.
Several people were prepared, each took out hiking shoes from their bags, and carried small snow nets, and then had to rely on foot.
Backcountry ski boots are also good for walking, but walking is not as comfortable as snow hiking boots.
The apex of the second section of the cable car can be seen here, but after a few minutes, the distant vantage point is blocked by trees and mountains.
A column marched, and Jin Wenbo started: If you don't use a snow net, this foot will be stuffed with twenty or thirty centimeters, and it will be hard!
The speed of the few people was not fast, because they had to observe along the way, not only along the original road, which was already extremely difficult to distinguish, but also to observe whether there were traces of human activity on both sides that had been disturbed by human activity for decades. It's really hard to cover the forest with snow.
Two hours later, Zhang Nan was as tired as a dog, and the five of them had not yet reached the German-Austrian border - the mountain pass was still 1 kilometer away.
However, at this time, Guan Xingquan, the leader habitually stretched his arms downward, his five fingers together, and his palms back-stop!
Fortunately, this is a tourist area, otherwise Chen Hao will habitually pull out his gun.
"Squad leader, look over there!"
There are hundreds of years old trees, and there are many decades old. Guan Xingquan refers to the left, that is, an area more than 100 meters to the north.
Xiang Weirong took a closer look, "Go there!"
The five people immediately went north, and Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan took the lead.
The trees in front seem to be shorter, with a long U-shaped distribution, and the middle one is particularly short, slightly taller on both sides, and on both sides are hundred-year-old trees.
A few decades ago, it might have been a road, a sidewalk that was about as wide as one truck.
After walking for a while, Guan Xingquan took out a particularly short sapper shovel from his bag and shoveled it in the middle of the U-shape.
After removing the top layer of nearly 40 centimeters of snow, the bottom layer of soil mixed with pine needles was revealed.
Shoveling down, it feels a little different - just a thin layer of forest topsoil, and the soil below seems to be harder.
After a few shovels, he grabbed a handful of soil and handed it to Xiang Weirong.
"Squad leader, this soil has been weighed. ”
This will finally be the time for Zhang Nan to give full play to his expertise - look at the soil, he is definitely an expert among these 5 people!
He also took a handful from the pit and held it in his hand to distinguish, "Mixed with gravel, this is artificial." But with no lime or cement, this should have been the easiest way to get it. ”
At this time, Chen Hao's voice came from the front: "Squad leader, there is a situation." ”
Every time they stopped to rest, one person would go to the opposite vantage point to observe, and several people were marching according to the standard march.
Without recklessness, he immediately ran over, Xiang Weirong replied, threw the soil back into the pit like Zhang Nan, and stepped on two feet by the way.
Pull left and right with your feet, and fill in the snow pit with the snow on the side.
A few people walked a few steps in a mess, and it was like a place where skiers used to rest.
Only 30 meters ahead, there was no forest to block it - a cliff fell a large area!
Chen Hao was standing beside the large and small gravels exposed in the snow: this was a turning corner, and the south side was also a gentle slope, and the stones that fell from the high mountains on the north side were several meters high, and they filled this place.
Chen Hao held a five- or six-pound stone in his hand and said to a few people: "This is formed by blasting, and the time is at least a few decades ago." ”
Xiang Weirong cut through the snow on a boulder and looked at it twice, "Anan, Xiao Chen has learned blasting, and he can't be wrong." Look, how many years has it been since this rock was blown down?"
Zhang Nan glanced at it a few times in one episode and said: "Isn't there a small stone pond under the mountain in the cemetery, remember to tell me that it was mined in the 50s, and the stones blown down here are at least that year." ”
Xiang Weirong nodded, he thought so too.
Shitang, as it is called in the county, is actually the meaning of a quarry: if the conditions for the moss to grow on both sides are similar, it was at least bombed before the 50s.
This can be guessed: this is a road, and the Federal Germans in the 50s did not have to bombard the mountain here, otherwise it would not make any sense at all. And along the way, I didn't find any places where I needed to use these stones.
The stone pond in Yan County was mined for the construction and maintenance of the terraces on the hillside, and the Germans did not seem to need to build terraces here at all, the only purpose was to cover up and block something!
Xiang Weirong gestured with his hand, and the big Jin Wenbo was like a super flexible civet, quickly climbing the collapsed pile of rocks.
Standing on the high ground, I quickly saw him make a move with his elbows bent, forearms pointing to the ground, fingers closed, and swinging from behind to the front.
"It's moving forward. ”
After saying to his brother-in-law, Xiang Weirong climbed the pile of rocks.
When Zhang Nan climbed to the top, he could see that a section of the cliff one or two hundred meters in front of him had been blown up, and there was still a U-shaped forest belt in the distance.
"There's a door, and the Germans are blocking the way. ”
......
Twenty minutes later, they encountered another pile of blown rubble, but on a much smaller scale.
The rocks are not the point, the point is that the place has obviously been cleaned by hand - a small half of the hole is exposed in the cliff wall. (To be continued.) )
