Chapter XXVI: Japanese Fortifications

Could it be that the two of them left me and left first?

It doesn't make sense, even if the fat bear has two hearts, and he will leave alone because he thinks he will be a burden to me or want to swallow the treasure alone, but Zheng Tian has been my good buddy for many years, and it is impossible for him to choose a strange fat bear and leave me.

Alone in the dark, I began to panic. I didn't know where I was, I didn't know what the dangers were around, and I didn't know what to do...... I don't know anything at all!

No, you must not panic, in such a single situation, you must remain absolutely calm!

I first looked through the backpack behind me, there was a spare short knife, a dead and heavy "Heavenly Secret Book", a mountaineering rope and a mechanical plug and quick hanging for mountaineering, and some fire folds and cold fireworks that I begged Seventh Brother to give me, and then touched the inside of the backpack, and found that there was a bottle of mineral water and four slices of bread, it seemed that I would not die of hunger for a while.

I had even fewer items in my clothes: a mobile phone with no signal, a hunting knife like a toy, and an insulated flashlight that Uncle Dao said was awesome but didn't use.

Looking at the insulated flashlight in my hand, I couldn't help but feel a wave of despair again. If I meet someone who is not easy to mess with, will I just have to wait for my life? Now I'm so badly wounded that I can't even escape......

At this time, the melody of "men crying, crying, it's not a ...... crime" suddenly sounded in my mind for some reason, uncle, whatever, anyway, there is no one here, I am really scared! Thinking about it, I burst into tears.

It's really humiliating.

I cried and my snot flowed, and I reached into my pocket and pulled out a tissue. This digging, I actually turned over the strange photo I found in the wooden house on the mountain before. I looked at myself smiling so weirdly in the photo, and I couldn't figure it out, but I felt even more scared and immediately stuffed it back in.

The road is under your feet, and a person must live well.

I groped my way through the dark cave with the faint light of a flashlight on my backpack, and after walking for about seven or eight minutes, my shoes suddenly felt wet, and it seemed that I had stepped on stagnant water.

I shone my flashlight on the ground and noticed something floating on the water, one of which had floated at my feet.

I picked it up and took a closer look at it with a flashlight, and it turned out to be a can of food that had been opened and eaten, and it was all in Japanese, and it was not surprising that the Japanese soldiers should have walked through this cave.

Seeing that there was no other use, I casually threw the can on the stagnant water, and immediately made a faint splash.

Walking in the cold and damp cave, I was extremely depressed. Not to mention going to the tomb, I used to rarely go out even far away, but the university and Zheng Tian went out camping a few times, but they were all in tourist attractions, and the mobile phone still had a signal to send to the circle of friends......

I don't know how deep the water will be in the front, so I thought it would be better to roll up my trousers. But just as I was bending down and rolling up my trousers, I suddenly saw a person standing behind me in the reflection of the stagnant water!

I was so frightened that I immediately turned to look, but there was no one behind me!

What happened just now? I took a careful look at the up, down, left and right with a flashlight, and shouted a few more loudly: "Zheng Tian, is it you?" Fat bear, it's your word for it! ”

The echo was faint, and no one answered.

This time I was even more nervous, and all kinds of evil things couldn't help jumping out of my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

I screamed, and ran forward like crazy, and for some reason the water under my feet seemed to grow more and deeper, and the deepest part had already covered my calves.

I waded through the water in the darkness for about seven or eight minutes, and felt that the whole cave was much wider, and there were many more openings of different sizes on both sides.

I casually entered one of them, and found that it was sealed and impassable, but I was really surprised by what was placed inside!

How to describe it, this small cave is like a small arsenal, which is scattered all over the place with guns, grenades, small steel cannons, and whole boxes of bullets, but unfortunately the water has flooded the place so badly that many weapons are estimated to be damp and unusable.

I picked up a rifle from the ground, wiped the water on it, and looked closely, and found that it was a Japanese-made 38 big cover. The barrel of this gun is badly corroded, and the bolt has been completely unpullable, and it is almost scrapped.

I threw the gun in my hand back into the water, thinking to myself that during the defense of Nanjing, these Japanese soldiers had really hoarded arms in Zanglong Mountain, but the strange thing was that these caves were cold and damp, which was not suitable for the long-term preservation of weapons, so why did these Japanese soldiers hoard arms here? Could it be that they didn't even think about long-term storage, but were ready to be shipped and used?

When I got out of this cave, I entered several other places one after another, and found that those Japanese soldiers had not only hoarded a large amount of ammunition in this mountain, but also a lot of daily necessities such as grain, grass, baggage, cotton clothes and trousers. Some of the caves were simply covered with something like straw mats, and I guess it was for the Japanese soldiers stationed here to sleep.

One of the caves was very different from the others, and there was a bed in it, and some Japanese documents were scattered around the bed, so it was not surprising that this was supposed to be a place for officials to live.

The papers had rotted in the water, and the contents were completely unrecognizable, but there was a diary that had not been damp and was relatively well preserved because it was placed on the table next to the bed (but it was also miserable, limited to not being crushed).

I carefully opened it and looked at it, and several pages were glued together to form a pie. There weren't many pages on it, and most of the handwriting was blurred.

I don't know Japanese, but there are many similarities in Japanese and Chinese, so I can probably guess it. The date recorded on the first page above is December 10, 1937, and I pushed it and found that it was the tenth day of the Battle of Nanjing.

I continued to look down, and it seemed to say that the mission sent by the commander-in-chief must be completed, and if nothing is completed, there will be seppuku, and what else...... There is no useful information about official clichés such as the Emperor's allegiance to His Majesty or something.

So I turned to the second page, and the date was December 11th. What is said today and what is completely what is coming in, what is Chinese not lying to us...... It's a pity that Sato sacrificed something...... What commander is it to accomplish what task...... What is the sacrifice of His Majesty the Emperor for...... Long live His Majesty the Emperor of something.

This paragraph is much harder to guess than the previous chapter, and there are a lot of strange Japanese symbols in it, and I am basically blind to the context.

I feel that the Sato mentioned above is likely to be the Japanese soldier who was willing to act as a human key and was hung upside down on the top of the pavilion as a traction force in the tomb chamber of the garden of the Heavenly King's Mansion. It seems that the route taken by these Japanese soldiers into the grave is the same as ours this time.

The diary also mentions a Chinese, the guy is estimated to be a Tufuzi who did not have time to escape, was captured in the war, and happened to know about the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so in order to save his life, he was a traitor who helped the Japanese soldiers dig a hole leading to the tomb, which is the one we came in before.

But after thinking about it, this person is definitely not an ordinary Tufuzi, who can know the secrets of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and knows how to get in, and can see through various organs, there are few people in the entire Republic of China. All I know is that my grandfather and Master Wei have come in, and I'm a little proud to think of that......

Wait a minute...... An idea that I didn't want to accept suddenly crossed my mind: my grandfather knew the secret of the heavenly treasure and knew how to get in, and he was caught by the Japanese devils during the defense of Nanjing, could it be ...... Thinking of this, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly slapped myself, how is this possible! Grandpa is a researcher at the Academia Sinica, loyal and righteous all his life, and he is not a mercenary who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't escape later...... Yes, there must be someone else.

I was about to flip to the third day to check it out, but unfortunately, due to moisture, the third and fourth sheets got stuck together and became a solid piece of paper cake, and I couldn't view it at all.

I feel very sorry, because according to the itinerary, this one should record that they arrived at the place where the thirty-six Tiangang Hall was lined with eight doors to break down. I would like to know how these Japanese soldiers managed to get through the test without touching the mechanism or breaking the figurines.

The fifth one, written on December 14, is very short, with only one sentence: What is so bizarre today...... But no matter what...... We will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor...... Long live His Majesty the Emperor of something!

Too bizarre? What happened to these Japanese soldiers on December 14 that made them feel too bizarre? Could it be that you have met a thousand-year-old zongzi? I wanted to turn to the next page, and the next and last page, and I couldn't help but frown.

"Finally, something or something has come! What a flying monster what...... No matter what you want, you have to get something, what His Majesty the Emperor wants...... What did I check out the abyss of something today...... It seems that something can only be passed by that way...... We will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor...... Long live His Majesty the Emperor of something!

Uncle, why does this little Japan love to pat on the back so much? At the end of each diary, I must add the sentence "Long live His Majesty the Emperor", which gave me goosebumps all over my body.

After reading the whole story, what worries me the most about this diary is the flying monster mentioned in it, and the abyss that I have never seen. This little Japan said, "It seems that the only way to pass by that method" is not known what method he said, let alone whether they succeeded in the end.

I put down the diary, saw that there was a drawer in the cabinet that was half-hidden, curiosity suddenly came up, and I immediately pulled it out hard, only to find that there were a few small matching guns in it, I took a cursory look, a bit like the Wang Ba box commonly used by Japanese officers in anti-Japanese dramas, I tried to press the trigger, but found that it could not be pressed.

When he was about to close the drawer, he found that there was a silver pistol hidden in the innermost, which happened to be blocked by the previous Wang Ba box. I took it out and took a look, it turned out to be a Browning M1935, people who know a little bit about military know that this thing 9mm large caliber is not covered, and in 1991 it seems to have been rated as one of the top ten pistols of the 20th century.

I put it in my hand and weighed it, and I felt that it felt really good, it should have been a good gun back then, but I don't know if it can be fired. So I went to the cave next door where I put my ammunition, pried open an ammunition box with a short knife, grabbed a pistol bullet, and immediately loaded it.

In the past, when I was in school, Zheng Tian invited me to go to the shooting range to shoot a pistol a few times, so I am not a stranger to the guy in my hand, but I am afraid that if this gun is old and bursts as soon as the trigger is pulled, then I won't break the phase on the spot?

Just in case, I fished out a baffle-like piece from the stagnant water, covered my face, closed my eyes, raised my arm nervously, and pressed the trigger on the dark corridor ahead.

"Bang", in an instant the bullet flew out, sparks flew everywhere, I opened my eyes and looked at the body of the gun, and found that it was intact.

I was overjoyed, it was really a good gun, just ready for self-defense, this thing was much better than the broken flashlight that Uncle Dao gave, so I ran to the ammunition depot and grabbed a handful of bullets, and unceremoniously put it in my pocket.

With a Browning self-defense, I felt much more at ease, and I walked a lot harder, wading all the way to the top of the cave, and found a locked iron door, all covered with rust, basically rotten.

I took a cursory look at this iron gate, and felt that it should not be from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, let alone the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, judging from the appearance, it is very likely that Japanese soldiers built it here. I don't know what the Japanese soldiers were doing here to build an iron gate? Could it be to prevent something?

Just when I was in doubt, I suddenly heard a strange sound from the other side of the iron gate, which sounded "...... It feels like a tape jam......
