Chapter 575: Navaron Cannon
"Help me, help me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The mountain wind blows, Hu Shaohui is swaying, and below, there is an abyss."
The two men glanced at him, but neither of them had any intention of saving him. The King Kong gorilla looked at him, and actually shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, which means that he can't help.
This mysterious jungle is really full of strangeness. Erdan and Hou Xiaolong glanced at each other, and their thoughts coincided, so let's take a look.
The two searched the cave. Further down the cave, there were many rooms, with intricate tunnels, stairs going down, and further down, there was even a layer of holes. Looking at it like this, it is estimated that it has penetrated into the entire belly of the mountain.
It didn't take long for the two to make a lot of discoveries. Helmets, water bottles, machine gun racks, etc., the two of them were shocked. However, there are even greater discoveries. King Kong slashed vigorously on the ground next to him, and after a while, he made a more astonishing discovery. There were still long and short guns buried underneath. As King Kong pulled deeper, two more extremely sealed boxes appeared.
"Boss, look!" Hou Xiaolong dragged something out of it. At a glance, there were actually two huge shells in the broken box, but there were no warheads.
With King Kong, it's much simpler. Not long after, the box buried in the ground was also picked up. With King Kong's vigorous strength, he couldn't even move it, and he pulled it with both hands, and then he pulled it up.
Hou Xiaolong picked up the machine gun rack and smashed the lock open in a few clicks. Flipping open the lid, the two of them saw a flash of golden light.
In the box, a few golden brass cannonballs lay neatly. Erdan and Hou Xiaolong glanced at each other, and their mouths grew.
The gorilla didn't pay much attention, and with a bang, another small box was thrown from the side.
The box was much smaller, suitcase-like, but the cipher mechanism on it was weird. On the surface of the mottled box, a pattern can be faintly seen.
Hou Xiaolong brushed off the soil, wiped it vigorously, looked at it for a long time, and then raised his head and said: "It's the chrysanthemum and the knife, the logo of the royal kingdom of the Japanese Kingdom." ”
Oh?! Erdan, who was walking around the cave and watching, turned around and was a little shocked.
Hou Xiaolong took out his pistol and aimed it at the lock and slammed it a few times. Hu Shaohui outside wailed in fright.
The box was opened, but there were no rare treasures in it, no bullets or anything, just stacks of drawings and materials, and a few notebooks. The suitcase was sealed, and all the materials were well preserved, except for a few yellowings.
"What's all up there?" Erdan asked. He is now able to practice English, but only in spoken English. And these data drawings, densely packed, are all Japanese characters.
Hou Xiaolong came from a secret army and naturally mastered the Chinese language. After looking down for a long time, he raised his head with a solemn expression, and pointed to the cannon next to him: "Boss, this is ...... Navaron cannon! ”
What?! Erdan was startled, and suddenly remembered what the red-billed bird said, his grandfather took him into the mountains to explore when he was a child, and saw a mountain similar to a Buddha statue, and there were Navaron cannons on the mountain.
With a clanging aura, his mind suddenly opened up, and the Navaron Cannon, a familiar name, also emerged from the depths of his memory.
The Navaron cannon, synonymous with the German super-cannon. The name originated from an old foreign movie. Erdan has also seen it, and the name is "The Cannon of Navaron".
The movie tells the story of World War II, when Germany secretly built a giant ultra-long-range cannon, which was extremely powerful, and it could hit the sea in ambush in the mountains, causing huge losses to the allies. In order to rescue a British unit trapped on an island, the Allies sent a six-member commando team, including demolition experts and rock climbing experts, to break through a high-altitude cliff bunker in the German-controlled Aegean Sea with unexpected tactics, blow up two super cannons inside, and rescue 2,000 British soldiers trapped on a nearby island.
This film is one of the most outstanding World War II death squad films, and once a household name, the Navarron cannon became synonymous with the super cannon made in Germany during World War II.
I can't help but digress a little, the manufacturing industry in Germany is truly amazing, and there has always been a tradition of making super cannons in history. During the First World War, the magical Paris cannon was created, which was named after the long-range bombardment of Paris. During World War II, Hitler was even more fond of making cannons and produced many amazing super cannons. One of the most awesome is the Dora train cannon made in early 1942, which is the famous Dora Super Cannon.
In 1935, in order to break through the Maginot Line, Hitler ordered the development of a new super-cannon that surpassed the "Paris Cannon". The famous German Krupp Arsenal was still tasked with this difficult task. After seven years of hard work, in the spring of 1942, the Krupp Arsenal finally created a super cannon of 800 mm caliber. It was surprisingly large, with a large soldier crouching in the chamber. In honor of the plant's founder, Gustav Krupp, Hitler called it "Heavy Gustav". In honor of his wife, the designer named the cannon "Dora" (the name of Mula's wife), but the German artillerymen preferred to call it "Dora".
In addition to the fact that the length of the barrel (32.48 meters) and firing range (more than 40 kilometers) are inferior to the "Paris Cannon", the "Duola" is in many respects the largest in the world: the whole gun is as tall as a four-story building and weighs 1,350 tons, which is almost twice as long as the "Paris Cannon". It was as big as a warship; The shells were also surprisingly large, 7.8 meters long, erected taller than a two-story building, and the grenade projectile weighed 4.1 tons. It contains a large amount of explosives, with huge destructive power and a range of up to 47 kilometers; Another projectile used to destroy concrete shelters weighed 7 tons and contained 2,000 kg of explosives. It is powerful enough to penetrate a concrete wall 34 kilometers away with a thickness of 0.85 meters.
It is said that if it is erected in France, it can bomb the English Channel and bomb the hinterland of London, England.
"Dolla", as the trump card of the German High Command, was commanded by a major general. When firing, a colonel gave specific command. There are more than 1,400 soldiers who directly operate the artillery, plus two anti-aircraft artillery regiments, guard personnel, and maintenance personnel who are responsible for air defense tasks, a total of more than 4,000 people are needed.
"This is definitely not a large pull," Hou Xiaolong said, "but it is also a German product, it can be said that it is a miniature version of the majority of pulls, and it is given to the allies of the Japanese people." During the Anti-Japanese War, this was the throat of the south, the only lifeline, and it was inevitable that the Japanese would arrange this cannon here to contain this artery. These things are all detailed information about this cannon. ”
Shhh Erdan couldn't help but gasp. I thought I would find a treasure, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing.
Although it is awesome, it can't be lifted or dismantled, and it can't be sold for scrap iron.
Hou Xiaolong looked solemn, not knowing what he was thinking. Carefully sealed the suitcase again, and began to look at the shells and cannons and ponder.
"This is the biggest treasure," Hou Xiaolong said, turning around, his expression was a little excited, "Boss, for us personally, this is nothing, waste paper is not as good, but the information of these super weapons ......" Hou Xiaolong patted his suitcase.
The second egg suddenly understood.
"Save me, you two little bastards, save me!" Hu Shaohui outside was lying on the muzzle of the cannon and shouted hysterically, "Don't be foolish, Tian Erdan, I still have 300 million US dollars in deposits in Swiss banks, this is a big baby, you just need to save me back, I will give you 100 million, US dollars!" ”
