Chapter 280: Escape Door
The other bunker was also garrisoned by five men, also struggling in despair. When confronted with gunpoint, they gave up their resistance and just wanted to get out of here.
When the U.S.-Iraq War broke out in 2003, the first area to be fought was Basra, which was captured on the same day. In other words, it has been almost two years since the beginning of the war, and the people in the bunker have always been hiding here. They have survived on the food and water stored in the bunker, and they have no way out, trapped here.
Or that they were not ordered and did not know what they should do.
Xing Zhengrong and a group of three people jumped from the water pipe and gathered together with Du Baobao.
"Who knows where the water pipes lead?" Gather all the Republican Guard soldiers together and start asking.
The bunker is a two-story underground structure, with a machine-gun fortress on the upper floor, a separate floor to support the water pipes in the middle, and a storage warehouse at the bottom. Storage includes food, water, ammunition, and more.
The water pipe doesn't necessarily have to go from here, but it does go from here, occupies a separate floor, and is designed to accommodate an adult.
"We don't know where it leads, we're just ordered to stay here." A soldier said.
"Have you ever shot? Shoot outside here? Lei Peng, who walked to the upper floor, asked as he touched the muzzle of a machine gun that could shoot outside.
It was a heavy M2 Browning heavy machine gun, firing 12. 7x99 mm large-caliber ammunition with a short recoil barrel and a clamp iron landing locking structure. The water-cooled method is adopted, and there is a water cylinder for heat dissipation outside the barrel, and the working principle of the barrel is short-recoiled, and the clamp iron landing locking mechanism is adopted. 【For more exciting novels, please visit wèn】
12。 The 7mm caliber Browning heavy machine gun was made in 1918 at the request of the American Expeditionary Force, in 7. It was developed on the basis of the structure of the 62mm caliber M1917 Browning heavy machine gun. In 1921, when the production was finalized, it was named 0. 50-inch M1921 heavy machine gun with water cooling.
In 1932 it was improved with an air-cooled barrel with a reduced mass, called 0. 50-inch Browning M2 heavy machine gun. In 1933, after further improvements, in order to solve the problem of continuous firing, the barrel was easily overheated, and it was improved to a heavy barrel type, named 0. 50-inch Browning M2HB heavy machine gun.
Since then, the gun has been widely used by many countries in the world, in addition to the United States mass production, the United Kingdom, Belgium and many other countries are also a large number of imitation production, as a ground heavy support weapon, anti-aircraft weapons, aviation weapons and vehicle weapons and widely used.
This is the kind of heavy machine gun used in the bunker here, so to speak, as long as there are these two heavy machine guns lying here, no matter how many ground troops you attack head-on, none of them can move forward, even if they are piled up with corpses!
But Lei Pengtong's observation of the barrel and the observation of rifling and gunfire revealed that the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun had not fired a single shot at all.
"Nope." The soldier shook his head and said, "We didn't receive an order. ”
Lei Peng looked at Du Baobao and nodded lightly at her.
Obviously, these two bunkers were not used to block the enemy's attack at all, but to be used after the break. There is enough food and water to store for the day when it is needed.
"Very well, now all you have to do is climb into the water pipe and keep crawling. When you climb to the end, you will see our people. When you see our people, you are saved, you are free, you don't have to be in this dark place anymore, you know? Du Bao stopped talking nonsense with these soldiers, pointed to the broken pipe, and told them to leave.
"But we haven't been ordered yet...... one officer said hesitantly.
"The order will not come, because Iraq has been captured. Your leader, Mr. Saddam, has been arrested, and the famous Republican Guard has been routed. ”
Hearing this fact, a group of soldiers had extremely painful expressions on their faces, as if it was difficult to believe this fact.
"You're free." Du Baobao stepped forward, patted the officer on the shoulder, and said, "I believe that you who are free will surely be an eagle soaring one after another, and will fight the most heroically against any invader who invades your motherland." Because you are soldiers, the most heroic Republican Guard soldiers in Iraq! We are soldiers, so we understand you. Go, eagles of the Republican Guard, you are free! Remember, the eagle of freedom never bothers to surrender, and the servicemen for the sake of the Fatherland will never surrender, because this is for the country. ”
Dingdong pointed to the disconnected water pipe and nodded affirmatively at the officer.
The officer looked at Du Baobao blankly, slowly raised his right hand and saluted her, and led his own people to climb into the water pipe and leave here.
This is a group of soldiers who don't know what they are holding onto, and for two years, they have been waiting for an order. But what I was waiting for was the news of the fall of Iraq, but what I was waiting for was the news that the troops had been defeated and the Führer had been arrested......
They chose to surrender when they saw someone coming in their desperate waiting, trying to convince themselves of relief in this way. Just for a command, an order that will never come.
"Keep going." All babies give orders.
The six of them split into two again and continued to move forward along the water pipe, until they reached the end of the march and could no longer move forward.
At the end is the station's reservoir, which has a valve that cuts off the supply of running water. And this valve is now abandoned, because there is no longer a running water supply.
With the abandonment of the valve, Du Baobao and his party who walked to the end of the water pipe could not continue to move forward. Because the wide valve is controlled from the outside, the inside cannot be opened at all, unless the ** is used for directional blasting.
But this is definitely not a wise choice, as soon as the explosion sounds, the troops of the 101st Airborne Division stationed in the station will be awakened and hit them fiercely.
It is even more unfeasible to abandon the guò valve and choose a certain link point of the water pipe, because it is surrounded by reinforced concrete structures. The reinforced concrete wraps the water pipes so tightly that even bombs can't penetrate them.
"It's an escape for an important target." Du Baobao squinted his eyes lightly and commanded: "Search the surroundings, there must be an escape door." ”
This is speculation, as many indications point to this sewer pipe as an escape route without any surprises.
"It's empty." Sun Huxiong made a sound.
At the same time, the flashlight gathered at the place where Sun Huxiong's palm touched, and it was a smooth steel plate, which was integrated with the pipe, and there was hardly any trace of patchwork.
However, if you look closely, you will find subtle junctions around the periphery. There is no doubt that this is the escape door of the important target when the escape door encounters a heavy dà event.
