Chapter 445: Deadly Region
Bypassing the machine gun bunkers, Xiao Yuanchao and Reddy stood in front of a snow-covered forest. The woods are deep and dense, the snow is extremely thick, and it looks unusual, extremely calm.
But even below this seemingly calm snow surface, there is an incomparably dangerous place. Suffice it to say, the most vicious way to lay mines is to lay mines in the snow. This terrain makes it almost impossible to clear mines, and you can't find any traces under the snow.
"There is a lot of minelaying here, and people who don't know will never go back as long as they step on it." Reddy gently peeled away the snow, allowing Xiao Yuanchao to clearly see the anti-infantry mines in the snow layer.
Sandwiched between knee-high snow, mines are extremely sensitive, triggering a fuse explosion if subjected to any pressure.
This is a former Soviet PMN-2 anti-infantry mine, but the pressure device has become a tripwire device, which has become more sensitive, more unstable, and more likely to detonate when squeezed by external forces.
"Irregular minelaying, with mines in the middle, underneath and frozen layers of snow. To get through this minefield, we have to find a way. Reddy crouched on the ground, carefully defusing the mine.
After dismantling the mines, he pulled out a crossbow, tied the tail of the crossbow with a nylon rope on his body, and aimed it at a large tree in the distance.
"Poof!"
Pulling the trigger, the bolt scurried forward with a nylon rope like lightning, and slammed into the trunk of the tree.
After pulling the nylon rope twice, Reddy nodded at Xiao Yuanchao and took out the skis he was carrying and laid them flat on the snow.
This is the best way to get through the guò, using the speed of skis gliding on the snow. This is a common sense to use the friction between the skis and the snow surface to move forward with minimal force.
"Give me the rope, I'll go first." Reddy wanted to come to Xiao Yuanchao's rope, and carefully lay on the skis and pulled the rope.
"Rustling ......"
With the force of pulling the nylon rope, the skis carried Reddy's body forward quickly, and soon reached the big tree in front of them.
There are no mines, and the passage guò is very smooth.
Sticking to the side of the tree, Reddy tied Xiao Yuanchao's rope to the tree, waved at him, and asked him to pass in the same way.
Xiao Yuanchao immediately put the skis on the snow, and the whole person lay on it and pulled Shengzai hard, sliding silently over and joining Reddy.
"Ahead are traps." Reddy pointed to the snow in front of him and said, "After the minefield there are traps, and after the traps there are minefields, and there is not so much snow after the minefields." But that's where the real danger is, and it's just a minor problem. ”
"What the hell is this place? So complicated to do? To defend against what? Xiao Yuanchao asked Reddy.
The minefield is laid out in the snow mezzanine, and I don't know how many years it has been stored; There are also traps in front of the minefield, and needless to say they are the most dangerous traps. And that's not the worst of all, the most terrifying thing is the flat terrain behind two minefields plus traps.
"Do you think an army can attack it?" Reddy asked Xiao Yuanchao rhetorically.
"If those machine-gun bunkers were in normal use, no army would be able to storm them." Xiao Yuanchao made a positive voice without any doubt.
Minefields and traps are minefields and traps that cannot be penetrated by any ground troops.
"But air power can do it." Xiao Yuanchao said.
"No, air power can't do it either, because there is an anti-aircraft gun fortress hidden in the machine gun bunker group, and no air supremacy can fly here, and ......" Reddy looked at the front and said lightly: "All the machine gun bunkers are in use, and each machine gun bunker is equipped with a German MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun, although it is an antique, but they have always been very powerful, haven't they?" ”
The German MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun, the most ferocious weapon in Germany during World War I.
Like its Maxim heavy machine gun, the MA MG08 uses cooling water to cool the barrel. As long as there is enough water and ammunition, the MG08 machine gun can continue firing for a long time. In order to ensure the need for continuous fire for such a long time, the ammunition feed used in the Makqin MG08 heavy machine gun is a standard 250 metal chain, and the theoretical rate of fire can reach 450 rounds per minute.
In order to reduce the impact of muzzle flame on the machine gunner, some of the Maxim MG08 heavy machine guns use flame shields, and the MG08 heavy machine guns are also equipped with shields.
During the Battle of the Somme, the Anglo-French forces attacked German positions on July 1, 1916. On this very day, a total of 57,000 people fell in front of the position of the Maxim MG08 heavy machine gun, and 20,000 of them died on the spot.
Until the surrender of Germany in 1945, there were still a large number of MAG08 heavy machine guns to assemble the German second-line troops.
Antiques don't mean bad lethality, and until now, the Maxim heavy machine gun has been a nightmare in many wars.
"All of them?" Xiao Yuanchao's pupils contracted.
He thought that all these machine gun bunker complexes were deserted, and he didn't expect that all of them were being used.
"That's right, it's all in use." Reddy pointed to the forest in front of him and said, "There are not only Maxim heavy machine guns, but also Tiger tanks, and all kinds of modern weapons. Any country attacking this place will pay the price of blood, and even an attack with a dense range of Tomahawk cruise missiles will not destroy this place, because more fortifications are hidden underground. ”
Xiao Yuanchao understood what Reddy meant, and he said that these machine-gun bunkers and minefields were just the tip of the iceberg of the island's armed protection forces. In addition to these visible, there are many more lethal weapons.
Perhaps these weapons contain poison gas bombs and so on, and even have missile launchers.
"Let's go, be careful. I walked out of here when I was very young, and although I remember it approximately, I forgot many subtleties. Hopefully not too much has changed, otherwise we'll be dead. ”
Reddy put away the rope and continued to walk forward with Xiao Yuanchao.
There was a trap ahead, and Xiao Yuanchao didn't see it, because Reddy took him on a detour.
Bypassing the trap, we crossed the minefield and entered the Pingtan area, where there was little snow. Once you arrive here, you will almost reach the center of the island, and you can clearly see the snow-capped mountains in the center of the island.
There was still dead silence, there was still no living life, and there was indeed very little snow on the ground, revealing the frozen ground.
But instead of leaves, the frozen ground was covered with bones, and it was full of bones. The bones were all human bones, and at intervals you could see an air-dried skull lying lying quietly, and a few meters away you could see a complete and twisted human skeleton.
There are several square kilometers of it, and there are such scenes everywhere, and it makes people's hearts hairy.
