Chapter 19: The Underground Fortress of the Kwantung Army
Kwantung Army Underground Fortress 1
The fat man asked me, "Do you have military knowledge?" There can't be tanks here. ”
I said: "Let's go first to see, in fact, even if there is a tank, I am afraid that it will not be able to drive, this has been almost 40 years, such a long time, even if it is maintained every day, it should have been scrapped a long time ago." ”
The passages in Gnacur are intricately maze-like, and in order to avoid getting lost, we slipped through the walls to find an exit.
The passage of the underground fortress and the gnaku are both arced tops, which are very high, this is a kind of impermeable structure, and if you shine upwards with a flashlight, you can see that there are emergency lights and pipelines installed on it, and if you can find a generator, you should be able to find a way to make these lights on.
I didn't go far, I saw a fortress plane map on the wall, which marked some main passages, traffic trenches, warehouses, hiding caves, shower rooms, barracks, rest rooms, grain depots, drainage pipes, power stations and other auxiliary facilities, as for the gun emplacement, ventilation holes, counterattack holes, observation holes, combat command rooms, concealment departments and other important locations are not indicated, in the interior of the hill, the fortress is also divided into three layers, its structure is complex, the scale is huge, it can be seen that the Kwantung Army attached great importance to this military base.
I took the map off the wall, I used to be an engineer, and I also participated in the construction of military facilities in Kunlun Mountain, now with the map in hand, I don't have to worry about not finding the exit, this secret underground fortress is so large that it is beyond my imagination, its depth has reached thirty kilometers, and the width of the frontal defense is more than sixty kilometers, and the hills on both sides of the original Savage Ditch have been completely hollowed out, constituting two permanent support fortifications that rely on each other, and there are three passages in the middle across the Savage Ditch, Connecting the fortresses under the hills on both sides, the underground passage that we broke through the wall from the ancient tomb of General Jin Guo is the lowest of the three passages. The two ends of the fortress are thick and thin in the middle, although the scale of the two sides is large, there are only three passages in the middle, which may also be due to tactical considerations, once one of the fortresses is captured by the enemy, you can still cut off the passage and stick to the other end.
Judging from where we are, it's not too far from the nearest exit, but I don't know if the Kwantung Army deliberately destroyed the exit of the fortress when it retreated, otherwise you can only go back from the ancient tomb, or you can try to climb out from the vent or something, I suddenly thought of what happened to us on the hillside last night, the horse was torn by a monster in an underground cave, is that cave a fortress vent? And the unknown monster dug the hole with its claws to take shelter? If that hole is really a vent, don't expect to climb out of it, it's too narrow.
I told Yingzi and Fat Man my thoughts, and asked them to staff on how to get out next.
The fat man said: "Hey, old Hu, if you don't mention it, I really forgot, the monster that attacked our horses may have used this underground fortress as a nest, let's go around in it like this, if we don't do well, we will run into it, we have to find some way to find a few weapons to defend ourselves." ”
I said: "That's right, be prepared, if the exit is destroyed, we have to crawl out of the robbery hole in the ancient tomb, then we have to clash with the corpse again, there should be an area in the Ganaku for weapons and equipment, let's go see if there are any handy guys, each person take a few, it is best to find the Japanese army's field melon grenade, this kind of grenade has a long shelf life, and the power is not small, it is suitable to deal with the corpse." ”
Gnacu was piled up with all kinds of military coats, blankets, dry batteries, lunch boxes, gas masks and other materials, due to the unique structure of the fortress, the air here is relatively dry, some of the materials are still quite well preserved, I took a few Japanese army Chuntian gas masks and put them in my bag, and finally found a place to store weapons on the right side of Gnaku.
There are a lot of wooden boxes with firearms stacked on the sliding iron shelves, there are no machine guns, and all of them are Arisaka-style rifles, which are commonly known as "38 big Gaier", or "38 style". There were still a few 60 guns on the wall, but there was not a single shell nearby.
The fat man pried open a wooden box containing rifles, grabbed one of the rifles, pulled the bolt with a bang, shone a flashlight into the bolt, and said to me: "Old Hu, this gun can still be used, it is all new guns that have not been opened, and the mechanical parts are oiled, and they have not been loaded with bullets." ”
Eiko and I each took a gun, I raised the Tomosaka-style rifle and aimed it, and threw it back: "Little Japan's broken gun only has a capacity of five rounds, and it is not an automatic bolt rotary type, the loading is too slow, and the recoil is very large, so I am not used to it." ”
Yingzi asked me: "How good is this little devil, the thief is powerful, my uncle used to use such a gun when he first joined the Northeast Democratic Alliance, why don't you like it, Brother Hu?" ”
Before I could answer, the fat man interjected and said: "Sensei take care of him, he plays with semi-automatic weapons in the army every day, and he is used to having problems, of course he can't look down on this kind of outdated gun, and if he encounters any corpses again, let's stand behind him and take a good look at his empty gloves and white wolf methods." While speaking, he took out an ammunition box from the lowest level, opened it and looked, it was full of bullets wrapped in oilcloth, and the light of the flashlight was reflected in the yellow and clear golden light, the fat man and his father spoiled him since he was a child, and he began to play with guns since he could walk, he was already an expert in making guns when he was in junior high school, the principle of the rifle is much the same, although the fat man has never used the Tomosaka rifle before, but he does not feel strange at all, when he sees ammunition, he picks up the bullet and skillfully presses it into the gun, and pulls the bolt with his hand, and raises it to aim at me.
I hurriedly pushed his muzzle away: "Loaded guns, don't fucking blind aims, the muzzle of the gun is not aimed at your own comrades, only the muzzle of a traitor is aimed at your own people." I don't like to use this kind of gun, because this kind of 38 type is not suitable for melee combat at all, the penetration of the bullet is too great, within a distance of thirty meters, a shot can shoot through three or four people, unless it is a bayonet to do white-knuckle combat, it is easy to hurt your own people, plus there are many steel facilities inside the underground fortress, once the bullet hits the steel plate and iron plate, it will produce irregular ricochet, and if you don't hit the enemy, you will take care of your own people first. ”
The fat man patted his chest and said to me confidently: "Just our marksmanship, it's not that we blow it, after so many years, you should know, a hundred steps through Yang, riding a horse and lighting are like playing, how can you miss and hit the steel plate?" If you don't believe it, we'll put an egg on your head in a while......"
I interrupted him, and the more I talked, the more I lost my score, is it easy for me to grow a head? My head is used to think about life, not to put an egg for you to be a target, let's not fight boring, okay, see what other weapons are available, I always feel that this kind of rifle is not a thing, after all, it is a weapon that has been eliminated for many years, the rifle is very easy to misfire, when I was on the front line in Vietnam, there was a migrant worker who helped transport the supplies to support the front, he stole an old-fashioned German-made that we captured from the Vietnamese militia, and it went off fire when climbing the mountain, It just happened to open the head of one of the deputy commanders of our regiment, which is not a joke. ”
We pried open the boxes on the shelves one by one, trying to find a few melon grenades, but we didn't expect to turn out more than a dozen submachine guns in a wooden box painted with plaster flags, the shape of the guns is very strange, there are a few like the British Stein submachine gun, the magazine is inserted horizontally on the left side of the gun body, and the difference with the British Stein is that the magazine of these guns is curved, and there is a wooden butt at the back.
Yingzi asked me, "Brother Hu, what kind of gun is this?" What's this look like? Is it a crooked handle? ”
I pulled the bolt of the submachine gun, and pulled down the magazine and looked at it: "This may be a Japanese man-made 100-type submachine gun, which was only equipped with troops in the late war, and the production volume is relatively small, so it is not rare, it may be equipped to deal with the Soviet army, this gun is much better than the 38 type, especially suitable for close combat, even if it fails, it will be stuck at most, and it will not go through the back door and fire, you and the fat man don't use a rifle, take a submachine gun to defend yourself." ”
Yingzi had never used a submachine gun, and he didn't know how to fiddle with it, so he lit us with two flashlights next to him, and the fat man found a box of submachine gun bullets, and I loaded the shuttle with him.
I hummed a little song and pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one, and now I am in a good mood, this time it is a fucking haircut, and I have never touched a submachine gun since I left the army, and I think of the feeling of using five or six styles in the army, and my palms are itchy. When I was complacent, Yingzi suddenly patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother Hu, I seem to be ...... I see a child running past you. ”
Child? How is it possible, this deep mountain and old forest is inaccessible, not to mention that this secret fortress is so hidden, how can a child suddenly appear in the flat ground?
We were both squatting on the ground to load bullets, Yingzi squatted opposite me with a flashlight, she inadvertently swept the light of the flashlight, and saw the figure of a child flashing behind me.
I turned my head and shone around with a flashlight, behind me was a T-shaped passage, it was pitch black, surprisingly quiet, where was there a trace of half a child, I asked Yingzi: "Where are the children?" Are you dazzled? ”
Although Yingzi is bold, she is a girl in the mountains after all, and she has a strong sense of feudal superstition, so her face changed with fright at this moment: "I'm really not stupid, really...... There is a child running through the passage behind you, it is impossible to be mistaken, there is no footsteps, only the figure of a child, it is almost fast, and the house is gone...... Is there a ghost? ”
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 2
Asked Yingzi for details, but she couldn't say clearly, only said that she saw a child's figure flashing by in a trance, as if it was a little girl, but she wasn't sure, and she didn't see what kind of clothes she was wearing, about five or six years old, six or seven years old, the direction in which the child ran over was exactly the direction marked with the exit on the map.
The passage is only two meters away from me, and it is impossible for me not to hear a child running past me in such a quiet place, so silent, unless it is a ghost, the underground fortress is an isolated world, no one has been in for decades, who knows what is hidden here, today's events have tossed us enough, more is better than less, can't you hide if you can't provoke it.
I now propose to take a detour to the exit of the fortress from the other side, not through the passage where the kid had run.
Yingzi was most afraid of ghosts and gods, and nodded in agreement: "It's better to climb ten more miles of slope than to hit a ghost wall." ”
The fat man disagreed: "Lao Hu, I found that you have changed now, since you were demobilized from the army, you are not as afraid as before, and you are not afraid of your style if you are afraid to move forward, why did Yingzi see a child running over today, and you have to take a detour?" I told you, go around, you two go around, I can't walk anymore, I'll take the shortcut. I think when we were Red Guards and went to the mountains and countryside, what did you say you were afraid of? In those years, except for Chairman Mao, who do you say we have served? ”
I was speechless for a while, as if it was indeed the fat man said, before I was covered when the sky fell, since I joined the army, until China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the comrades-in-arms around me sacrificed one after another, I really saw countless bloodshed and death, to be honest, I have indeed become a bit of a mother-in-law now, I can't help but look forward to everything I do, is it that the passage of time has really taken away my courage and guts.
I said to the fat man: "How old are we now, we can't compare to before, we were really brave and fierce in those years when we were Red Guards, and we beat anyone who didn't like it, but it was a ridiculous era, and now I think it's ridiculous and sad in retrospect." ”
The fat man said, "But at least in those days, you fought and charged, and I can't see you so frightened and frightened now, do you remember the long poem I wrote in the notebook I gave you on your sixteenth birthday?" ”
That notebook may have been wiped by me a long time ago, and the fat man gave me a lot of notebooks in those years, because his mother was a cadre of the logistics agency, and there were all kinds of notebooks at home, and I really can't remember any long poems.
When the fat man saw that he couldn't remember, he said, "I'll recite a few words for you to hear." "The fat man's Mandarin is very standard, and he is fat enough, and when he recites it, it really means that he is an announcer of the Central People's Radio, just listen to him say aloud:
"Fight guerrillas" together in the park, and read books together in class. On Xianyang Road, the "four olds" are broken, and Jinggangshan is connected in series.
On the eve of the burial of the Emperor's rebellion, before marching into that world! Next to the radio, we listened carefully, and the Ministry of Defense declared the war order word by word......
After the fat man impassionedly pronounced the first sentence, I immediately remembered, this is a long narrative poem, entitled "Salute to the Warriors in the Third World War", which was widely circulated among the Red Guards back then, we are too familiar with this poem, when we were both Red Guards, not only have we recited it together a hundred times and thousands of times, it is our favorite rhyme, the most intimate words, the youngest magnificent dream...... my mood became excited, I forgot where I was, I couldn't help but clench my fists, and recited in unison with him:
…… On that unforgettable night, the desire to fight spread through every vein.
The enthusiasm and encouragement of our fathers have stirred our heartstrings, and we are the descendants of soldiers, and we want to gallop in the smoke of war.
In this Third World War to eliminate the last system of exploitation, we were in the same class.
Our friendship began there, long beyond calculation, only to know it, higher than the mountain, farther than the road.
In the trenches, we shared a loaf of bread and a handful of salty salt.
Humming the same melody and covering the same military blanket.
Word by word, line by line, the thought of the leader, the great truth, we have studied it over and over again.
Under the red flag, with the sincere and dedicated hope for the party.
We clenched our guns, raised our fists, and made a steel oath: we are willing, willing to give everything we have for the realization of communism.
In the midst of the overwhelming artillery fire, we broke through the enemy's 300-meter defense line shoulder to shoulder.
The submachine gun poured out the bullets of the proletariat's revenge on the exploiters.
Do you remember? We drank from the Marton River, crossed the steppes of Ukraine, crossed the plateaus of the Urals, and rekindled the red star of the Kremlin.
We have followed in the footsteps of the Commune, through the streets and alleys of Paris, and on the trembling point of the Internationale, rushing through every town, village, and harbor in Europa.
We have used the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to block the vicious bullets of Christians and plant red flags on the banks of the Suez River.
The lake in Switzerland, the lights in Pisa, the sunset in Yemen, the Buddha temple in Phnom Penh, the cherry blossoms in Mount Fuji, the smoke in Havana, the red wine in Spain, the spring in black Africa......
None of this has left us nostalgic.
Because we all have steel guns in our hands, and we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders.
How many sleepless days and nights, how many bloody battles in the south and north.
In this way, our invincible team, closely following the red sun, is unstoppable.
Listen: The cries of the brothers of the five continents are like a rolling torrent and angry waves.
Look: The righteous banner of the slaves of the four seas is burning like a spark.
Ah, the world is red! Only a little bit of the White House remains!
Three red flares rose in the night sky, and you patted me on the shoulder: "Hey, buddy, remember?" The hearts of the dolls on the battlefield between China and the United States, the speech of a Politburo member. The prospect of liberation for the carnival of the friends of the world, the eyes of the old Red Army of the Soviet Union pinning their hopes. ”
"Remember! This is the final struggle, and the decisive battle of the fate of mankind is today! ”
The trumpet sounded, our hearts were connected, and the wind was forward.
One hand is a green leaf, the other hand is a poisoned arrow, this brass eagle emblem that has been rampant for two centuries,
With the triumphant cheers of the people, they were thrown into the flames......
Yingzi saw that the two of us were talking endlessly, and she couldn't understand what we were saying, so she got impatient and interrupted us and said, "What are you talking about?" It's still working hard, why is it not over yet? It's not too early now, no matter which way we go, it's time for us to leave, and you two are willing to wait until you go out, okay? ”
The fat man picked up the 100-type submachine gun, inserted four or five magazines in his waist, his expression was resolute, and he waved his hand and pointed ahead: "Comrades, victory is ahead, come with me." ”
So, the fat man took the lead and walked in front, Yingzi was in the middle, I was behind, and the three of them formed a column all the way, and walked to the passage that Yingzi said he saw the child running over, which was a slightly inclined upward road, and after walking more than 100 meters, it became an upward step, and it seemed that he had walked into the inside of the hill of the savage ditch.
The passage is getting narrower and narrower, and the humidity is much higher than below, and it is difficult to breathe in it, and there is a feeling of depression like being buried alive.
The distance between the three people is very close, I don't know why the fat man who was walking in front suddenly stopped, he suddenly stopped, Yingzi who followed him was not prepared, and just hit him on the back, Yingzi was knocked backwards from the steps by him, I quickly supported Yingzi in the back, I asked the fat man: "What's the matter?" Why stop all of a sudden and not continue walking? ”
The fat man turned around and shouted, "Run back!" It was as if he had seen something terrible in front of him, and even his voice had changed, and the pride and ambition he had just had vanished.
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 3
The fat man shouted for us to turn around and run for our lives, and I was separated by the two people in front of me, the lighting range of the flashlight was limited, and I only saw a large space on the four or five stairs in front of me, and I didn't know what he saw, but since the fat man said so, he must have a reason, and he was ready to go backwards.
At the same time, I suddenly felt that my back was pierced by dozens of cold steel needles, the cold air penetrated my bones, and my whole body seemed to be shocked by an icy electric current, my body trembled, I lost control, and I jumped forward, and I don't know where such a great force came from, pushing the fat man Yingzi and the two people in front of me forward together, and this narrow and dark passage slowly tilted upward, and all three of them rolled and climbed into the hole at the end of the stairs.
I was inexplicably electrified, and the current seemed to be conducted to the other two, all of them were so cold that their teeth trembled, no one knew what was going on, they wanted to speak, but they couldn't make a sound, if they inadvertently touched the leaking wire, it should be numb all over the body, how could there be this feeling of cold from the bone marrow?
Fortunately, the three loaded submachine guns did not go off in the panic, we were lying on the ground, the flashlight in our hands was still on, through the light of the three flashlights, I knew why the fat man turned around to run, it turned out that this is a semi-natural and semi-artificial huge stone room, everywhere is green moss, damp stone walls and overhead, there are countless huge bats, this kind of bat is much larger than the ordinary bats that are usually seen, holding their wings and hanging densely on the wall, they were alarmed by our three invaders, They all woke up from their sleep, revealing a mouth full of white fangs, and their scalps were numb.
The face of the bat looks very strange, the two diamond-shaped big ears are straight and straight, the round head and round brain, the nose is also round, the forelimbs are very developed, the upper arm, forearm, metacarpal bones, phalanges are extraordinarily long, the teeth are sharp and the claws are sharp, I have seen such a big bat when I was an engineer in Kunlun Mountain, their scientific name is Yekou Ming tooth bat, also known as the pig-faced big bat, its nature is the most bloodthirsty, also carnivorous, is the most rare and vicious breed of bats, they like to live in the underground caves of the pastoral grassland, and they haunt and pounce on cattle and sheep and other livestock at night, Especially in the Outer Mongolian grassland, it was once a disaster, and this animal has been rare in the past ten years.
I thought they were extinct, but I didn't expect that so many pig-faced big bats regarded the underground fortress abandoned by the Kwantung Army as an old nest, they came out day and night, and used the ventilation holes of the underground fortress as an exit, there is indeed no safer and more comfortable nest than here.
There are a few pig-faced big bats have taken the lead in flying down from the stone wall, I struggled to get up, but as a result of my hand on the ground on the ground on the foot, the ground is full of bat feces and animal remains, the smell is tangy, sticky and slippery, bat dung is also called "luminous sand", this is a very precious Chinese medicine, ordinary people get one or two is already very difficult, at the moment to see but can not say disgusting.
I gave up the idea of getting up from the ground, pulled the trigger with my finger, and fired at the pig-faced bat flying with a 100-style submachine gun, as soon as I fired, the other two people also reacted, the three submachine guns fired cross-fired, the flames spewed from the muzzles, the light of the bullets, illuminated the whole stone cave flickering, the sound of gunfire and rejecting, the sound of bullet casings falling to the ground, mixed together.
Thousands of pig-faced bats were alarmed, this creature that lives in the dark is most afraid of fire and light, except for those that were shot and fell to the ground, the rest were like black clouds, some flew over our heads, and some fled up the ventilation holes.
The bullets of the submachine gun were quickly exhausted, and there was no time to change the bullets, and the pig-faced bats swished past their bodies, and our clothes were torn into one by one by their claws and fangs, but fortunately, the clothes were worn relatively thickly, and although a few times hurt the flesh, they were not deeply injured.
At this time, the fear in my heart was even worse, I was afraid of hurting my eyes, I didn't dare to open my eyes, I used one hand to protect my head and face, and the other hand picked up the submachine gun, like a stick out of thin air, and kicked desperately with both legs, driving away the pig-faced bats that pounced on me.
I don't know how long it took, but the cave gradually quieted down, and I thought that the pig-faced bats were gone, and I felt the flashlight that had fallen on the ground, and I was about to ask the fat man if they were hurt.
Suddenly, it was dark, and one of the largest pig-faced bats silently swooped over my head, it may be the leader of the bats in this cave, hidden in the deepest part of the cave, and now it came to people, spread its wings, and the walls were full.
I only have an empty gun and flashlight in my hand, it is difficult to resist, it is close to me, the pig-like face, layers of wrinkles, hard hairs, fangs can be seen clearly, I am about to be bitten by a big bat, from the side came a string of submachine gun shooting, a string of bullets were nailed to the body of the pig-faced big bat, the big bat fell to the ground and fluttered a few times, and died instantly.
But it turned out that the fat man next to him saw that the situation was urgent, changed the magazine and opened fire, saving my life, I breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, in addition to the ground, there were a few big bats that were shot and did not lose their breath were still struggling, and there were no other hidden bats.
I was scratched a few times, blood was pouring out, Yingzi and the fat man also suffered some minor injuries, but they were not serious, Yingzi pulled a few pieces of rags from my clothes and bandaged me.
The wounds on my body hurt so badly, I kept cursing, Lao Tzu was on the front line back then, and the battle was fought, and the bullets and bullets didn't break the slightest bit of flesh and skin, but today these animals have scratched so many holes in their bodies...... It hurts.
The fat man asked me, "Old Hu, I just told you to run back, why did you push us in?" ”
I told them what had just happened, and I only said that my back might have touched a bare wire, and I was electrocuted, but I didn't dare to tell them the real situation, because I thought it was incredible. I asked Yingzi to look at my back, if there was an electric paste, Yingzi picked off the clothes on my back and shone it with a flashlight: "Oh mom, Brother Hu, what's wrong with you?" It doesn't look like electricity. ”
The fat man also leaned behind me and looked: "Are you electrocuted?" You've got a black handprint on your back, huh...... The palm of the hand was small, like that of a child. ”
What the hell is it, dare we let that little ghost push into this bat cave? Don't let me see it, see it, I've skinned it.
The fat man was about to talk to me, but the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground: "My mother, Lao Hu, Yingzi, you said I didn't believe it in Gnacur, just now...... I also saw a child running over. ”
Yingzi and I hurriedly picked up flashlights and shone around, except for bat feces and bat corpses, there were no children.
The fat man swore to the sky: "I will *** run behind you, and lie to you that I am my grandson, just ...... I ran inside, and I could see very clearly, the little boy, a little boy, dressed in green, five or six years old, with a very white face...... Not like a living person. ”
Except for me, they all saw children in this underground fortress, why didn't I see them? But the child's handprint after I was beaten can't help but give people goosebumps, the fat man said that he saw a boy, but Yingzi said that the little girl he saw in Gnaku, who was wrong? Or is there a kindergarten in this underground fortress?
We cleaned up a little, stood up, and loaded the submachine gun with new magazines, and the fat man pointed to one of the walls of the stone room: "That little cub, just run over here." After speaking, he scraped the moss and bat droppings on the stone wall with a snatching stock, revealing half an iron door inside, which was rusty and rusty, and four big characters were written in dark red paint eye-catchingly, "Standing is forbidden"
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 4
"Stand ~ enter ~ forbidden ~ stop ~" The fat man pointed to the words on the iron door and said to us: "Do you know what this means?" This means that you are not allowed to stand up and enter, you can lie down and enter if you want to enter, and this is designated as a morgue, or it is a crematorium. ”
Yingzi listened to the fat man's explanation and said, "What? Lying down? It turned out to be a dead person, I heard the older people in the tunzi say that the little devil is a crematorium, and the eight achievements in this iron gate are crematoriums. ”
I knocked twice on the iron door with my finger knuckles, and felt that the door was very heavy: "Fatty, you don't know how to pretend to understand, the meaning of these four words is probably forbidden to enter, although I don't understand Japanese, but I am very familiar with military facilities, you see that there is a big groove under this door, there is an inner hexagonal gong pattern inside, this should have a turntable, you need to turn the turntable to open this iron door, the hole under the door is the exhaust groove, this is an airtight door, when the iron door is closed, the exhaust hole will automatically extract the air in the room, In it, a semi-vacuum is formed, which is a place to store valuables, and the same facilities are also found in the military bases of our army. ”
The turntable of the airtight door has long been disassembled, if there is no corresponding tool, it is really difficult to open this iron door, as for what is contained in the secret room, it is not easy to say, it may be equipped with chemical weapons bacteriological weapons and the like, this possibility is the greatest, in order to prevent accidents caused by the leakage of chemical weapons, they are usually stored in this closed secret room.
Although the chemical and bacteriological weapons of the Japanese have always been notorious, their power should not be underestimated, even if they are placed in a natural environment, after many years, they can still kill people, I am not interested in what is in this door, or look at the map, quickly find the exit is a serious matter.
The fat man was full of curiosity about this door, especially after listening to me say that it was possible to store any valuables, he was even more itchy, and he knocked twice on the door with Yingzi and the two of them, and kicked twice for a while. The two of them were still muttering, "What's the good stuff here?" Oops, it's too disturbing to watch. ”
I ignored the two of them, and looked for the exit from the cave that had once been occupied by the pig-faced bat, and according to the terrain drawn on the map, there should be a small passage connecting to the exit from the top of the mountain.
However, after looking around, only a large area of collapsed rocks was found at one end of the cave, and as expected, the Japanese army blew up the exit of the fortress when they retreated.
Now in the position, the top of the head is probably exactly where we set up a tent on the slope of the savage ditch, with a flashlight can shine on the top wall of the stone cave There are several large holes, these large ventilation holes, not straight up and down, in order to prevent attacking the inside from the outside, the ventilation holes are repaired and crooked, bats are flying from these holes to the outside, but unfortunately we have no wings, we can't go up in the bottom dry staring, even if it goes up, it's useless, the body of an adult is just bigger than these ventilation holes, little Japan is really shrewd, Afraid that the enemy would climb into the fortress through the ventilation hole, he deliberately dug the hole to say that it was not big or small.
I called the fat man Yingzi over and told them that there was no exit, let's either go and find another exit, or just take the submachine gun back to the ancient tomb and kill the corpse, we can't just be so dry inside, we didn't have dry food with us, and we didn't find that there was food in the devil's fortress, so we went around like this, and when we were so hungry that we couldn't crawl, we could only wait for death.
It is clear that the depth of this underground fortress is very large, dozens of kilometers, and it takes a lot of time to walk from this exit to another, and there is no point in finding other exits, the Japanese will not be kind enough to leave an exit, since one has collapsed, the rest must have been blown up.
Yingzi kicked the big bat corpse on the ground with his foot: "It's really not good, you can still eat this thing, it's all meat." ”
The fat man hurriedly shook his head: "I want to eat you, I won't eat it if I'm starving, it's so disgusting, I guess the meat is stinky, or it's sour, it's not delicious, by the way, Lao Hu, do you think this iron door will be the exit?" There should be such a possibility, let's find a way to open it up and take a look. ”
I thought for a moment and said, "It's a possibility, because the map doesn't show this secret room, only a passage connecting to the exit, but it's hard to pinpoint it, and it's not certain that there is a passage behind this door." Actually, it's not difficult to open this door, I saw a tool in Gnacu, we can find a hex wrench of the right size. ”
Yingzi said on the side: "I went back to Gnakuna Gata just a few clothes to change, and you can see the strength of our bodies, which is enough for fifteen people to watch for half a month." ”
After her reminder, we found that the three of them were dirty, and their clothes, hair, faces, and hands were covered with bat droppings, blood, mud, and stench.
We then went back to the lower level of Gnaku, the road was very close, only a few hundred meters away, in Gnaku, first found a few Kwantung Army uniforms and coats to change into, wiped the mud and blood stains on the face, and each of them also found a steel helmet buckled on their heads.
Yingzi is already handsome, and she is even more pretty when she wears a military uniform, and the fat man cheers next to her: "Hey, big girl, if you put on a Japanese military uniform, the whole thing is Yoshiko Ichikawashima." ”
Yingzi didn't know who Yoshiko Kawashima was, thinking that the fat man was praising her, and she was still very useful, so I told Yingzi: "He said that you are like a Japanese female spy." ”
When Yingzi heard this, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and the fat man hurriedly said: "It's wrong, it's wrong, I should say that when I see Yingzi wearing a military uniform and holding a gun, I can connect with Chairman Mao's poem. ”
I laughed and said: "The fat man is about to become a poet recently, and he has to recite two sentences at every turn, you see how we are dressed now, it is really the same as a Japanese devil, which reminds me of what an old comrade-in-arms of my father said, when I was still young, my uncle was also with my father in Shandong as the Eighth Road, when the Anti-Japanese War was won, I received instructions from the Party Central Committee to let them take a boat from the Jiaodong Peninsula to the Northeast to receive the fruits of victory, my father was seasick and couldn't go, not to mention how much regret it at that time, because I heard that the Northeast was full of oceans, That good thing went to the sea, and then I heard my uncle say that after they arrived in the Northeast, they picked up the old nose Japanese goods, and they were a whole regiment, and when they went, they were dressed in tatters, and there was not much difference from a team of people called Hanako, and then they took over a warehouse of the Kwantung Army from Lao Maozi, and the whole regiment changed their clothes, except for the flag that was still Chinese, the rest from clothes to shoes and weapons, all of them were Japanese, exactly the same as the Kwantung Army, and the people of the Northeast looked at them from a distance, turned their heads and ran, I thought the devil was fighting back, but I think we now have a bit of the feeling that the revolutionary ancestors picked up the ocean. ”
As I spoke, I found a hexagonal wrench on a shelf where gasoline barrels were stored: "This time it's alive, I've taken everything I should take, so hurry up and act." ”
The three of them wore the military uniforms of the Kwantung Army, resisted the 100-style submachine guns, and returned along the same road, I was still behind, but this time the fat man never said that he saw the shadow of any children, I didn't ask, but I was chasing the wind and shadows in my heart, and I was inevitably a little suspicious.
I thought to myself, "The fat man said that the kid ran into the iron gate, what is this little devil trying to do?" Do you want to show us the way out? Can there be such a bargain? Or does he have other plans? Damn, Lao Tzu just has a little glutinous rice left, I heard that the ghost is afraid of cowardly rice, if the little ghost dares to find trouble, he will let it rectify and come back, if not, it will not show my old Hu's means. ”
As I walked with them, I encouraged myself, and the wound on my back didn't seem to hurt much, and after a while, I came to the stone cave with an "airtight door" for the second time.
Just in case, we all put on steel helmets and gas masks, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullets, and before I opened the door, I asked Yingzi to grab a handful of glutinous rice and prepare to throw it, and let the fat man take aim with a submachine gun, if there is anything in the door, no matter what is in the door, no matter what is three, seven and twenty-one, him first. In addition, he also instructed the fat man, in cooperation with me, to take turns shooting, leaving no gap in the loading magazine.
When everything was arranged, I slung the submachine gun over my shoulder, and pressed the hex wrench on the thread on the door, which had not been opened for decades, and the thread was rusty.
I even used the strength to feed, and the wrench was almost broken by me, and finally I heard a "creak" sound, and the three exhaust slots under the door "squeak", and the airtight door was filled with air, and the iron door clicked......
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 5
The air groove in the airtight door filled with air, and the heavy iron door opened at the sound of the sound, and I hurriedly took two steps back, holding a submachine gun and flashlight and pointing it at the door, but there was no movement inside the door.
The situation was unexpected, only to see the dark and dark inside the door, and the light of the flashlight shone in, and it was swallowed up by the darkness inside the door.
I gestured to Yingzi, Yingzi understood, and threw a large handful of glutinous rice in his hand, the goddess scattered flowers, into the secret room, but there was still no movement in the secret room, and all the sounds in the world seemed to have disappeared, only hearing his own heavy breathing in the gas mask.
It seems that we are too worried, as the so-called suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts, and before it is too much, I scared myself half to death first.
In the end, the fat man couldn't hold it back, so he took the lead and entered the secret room, followed by Yingzi and I.
The area of the secret room is about forty square meters, and there is a solitary one, except for the airtight door, there is no other exit.
It is neither a bacteriological weapon nor a chemical weapon, before coming in, I almost thought of all the possibilities, but I didn't expect that the room was filled with more than a dozen large coffins, these coffins were stacked in the secret room, the coffins were old and old, some had rotted, some were large and small, the craft styles were different, and there was even a super large sarcophagus, the most luxurious of which were two golden silk nanmu coffins, and there were countless pottery pieces and porcelain pieces scattered on the ground.
I looked back at the fat man, and they both shook their heads at me, and I could feel the blank looks on their faces, even though they were wearing gas masks.
The fat man asked me, "Old Hu, what's the matter?" This *** seems to be a museum, where did so many coffins come from? ”
I thought about it for a while, in fact, it is not difficult to speculate on this matter, but we had a preconceived idea and did not expect this.
Savage ditch was originally the ancient tomb group of the Jin Liao period, the Kwantung Army built this hidden underground fortress, especially the three passages connected in the fortress on both sides, just across the valley of the savage ditch, during the construction, must have dug out a lot of ancient tombs in it, the burial goods in these ancient tombs, as well as the coffins of the ancient nobles of Jin Liao, are treasures to the Japanese, they dug up the things from the ancient tombs, all stored in a semi-vacuum secret room, the Kwantung Army retreated in a hurry, and only wrapped the antique rolls that accompanied the burial when leaving, The rest of the coffins have remained here.
The fat man said: "The Japanese will take the sheep by the hand, and there is nothing left for us, let's see if there is anything valuable in the coffin, and it will not be in vain to make this trip." Then he kicked open the coffin board of a large coffin, and the coffin lid had already been pried open by the Japanese, and it was not re-nailed, and when he kicked it, he kicked the coffin lid aside.
Yingzi didn't dare to come over and take a look: "I'd better wait for you two at the door, I'll keep an eye on it by the way, don't let people lock us all here." After saying that, he walked to the door, and guarded the door with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door.
I said to Yingzi at the door: "Or my eldest sister is alert, I didn't expect this, I have been a soldier for so many years in vain, this door can only be opened from the outside, if we are all locked in this secret room, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find the door to cry." ”
The fat man just turned around in the coffin, scolding as he turned over: "**, it's all bone scum, the Japanese devil is really lacking in morality, he plays the three-light policy wherever he goes, and he doesn't even leave us a jar." ”
Even turning over three or four coffins was like this, and the fat man was so angry that he kept scolding, and then pushed the vermilion lacquer coffin of the golden silk nanmu.
I didn't pay much attention to the ordinary coffins, my eyes were always drawn to the huge sarcophagus, and my instinct told me that there was something there......
I don't understand why this thought arises, suddenly I have an impulse to open this sarcophagus to see, I beckoned the fat man to come and help, and the two of them worked together to push the upper slate, the slate was unusually heavy, and only a thin slit was pushed open after pushing for a long time.
The fat man gasped and waved his hand: "No...... Rest for a while, it's too heavy...... I can't push it without food in my stomach. ”
My stomach was also growling with hunger, and this exertion made my eyes even more starry, so I had to rest, we took off our gas masks, and each lit a cigarette.
The fat man spit out a smoke ring: "Old Hu, did you say that the ancient people did have water in their brains, the whole stone coffin, I still see someone using a stone as a coffin for the first time." ”
I stroked the stone slab and said, "This is not a coffin, this is called a stone coffin, a coffin, a coffin, a wooden coffin in this stone box. ”
The fat man scratched his head: "Oh, that's what happened, it's really complicated, it's also buried in the savage ditch, the general's tomb we dug is compared to the master in this stone coffin, whose official is big?" ”
I shook my head and said: "I don't know, it's not easy to say, we don't know much about history, but in the past few hundred years of Jin Liaoyuan, the nomads in the north have been unprecedentedly powerful, and they all got the world from horseback. The hobbies of the tomb owners were different, and the burial goods must have been different. Take the ancient tomb we dug as an example, the owner of the tomb is a martial artist, and he has no elegant taste and artistic appreciation, so most of the items in his tomb are horses and weapons. ”
The fat man said: "In fact, those horses must be thousands of miles of good horses, if they live, they will be worth a lot of money, but now there are only horse bones left, and it is estimated that they will be sold to the scrap recycling station, and no one wants them." Fortunately, he still has two pieces of jade, otherwise we will be busy in vain, these two pieces of jade will go back and let the big gold tooth find a home, how can we deal with Wan'er 8000. ”
As soon as we finished smoking, the two of us put on our gas masks again, and pushed the big stone slab again, Yingzi also came to help, and finally moved the stone slab aside, and the stone coffin revealed a wooden coffin with a pure black background, which was still nearly twice as large as an ordinary coffin, and the height was also unusual, not counting the arc lid, it was more than half a person high.
The coffin craftsmanship is exquisite, it is by no means a vulgar thing, both ends, all around, the coffin lid has the colorful description of slipping gold lacquer, it is painted some auspicious beasts, all are cranes, Qilin, turtles and snakes and the like, in order to bless the owner in the coffin after death, the corpse is dissected into immortals after the death of the owner in the coffin, the coffin cover has the star map of the 28 stars in the sky, the bottom of the coffin is surrounded by a circle of clouds and scroll pattern of golden ornamentation, I don't know what secret method is used, the color is still as bright as new after thousands of years, it is really breathtaking.
It was the first time we had seen such a magnificent coffin, and if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we would have imagined that there would be such a huge coffin like a work of art in the world.
The fat man was overjoyed: "Even if there is nothing inside, let's sell the coffin back, and we can make a lot of money." He rolled up his sleeves and pushed the coffin open.
Even Yingzi couldn't help but want to see what was in this big coffin, the three of them got together and irradiated the coffin with a flashlight, the brocade in the coffin had long been decayed, I am afraid that it would turn into ashes when touched, and there was a skeleton lying flat on the layers of rotten brocade, after a thousand years, the clothes, skin and flesh had long been rotten, only the skull was slightly intact, with a wide open mouth, revealing two rows of black rotten teeth, and a large part of the bones on the body were decomposed in the air, if you didn't look at the skull, It may not even be known that this is a humanoid remains.
Yingzi swept the edge of the giant coffin with the light pillar of the flashlight, and she screamed in fright: "Oh mom, it's this kid." ”
I saw that at both ends of the coffin, there were two naked bare-bottomed children with a man and a woman, who looked like they were five or six years old, with lifelike faces, the boy had a pigtail on his head, and the girl's hair was tied with two mustaches. The owner of the coffin is almost rotten, how can this boy and girl be so well preserved?
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 6
"These two little cubs, eighty percent of them are dummies, and they are doing it like the real thing." The fat man said as he wanted to pinch the child in the giant coffin with his hand: "The fat man wants to take a look today, is he still sperm?" ”
I pressed the fat man's hand: "Don't touch it without gloves, this is not a dummy, it may be poisonous, you look carefully at these two children, there are patches of blue and purple bruises, this is mercury." ”
In the 50s, my grandfather, Hu Guohua, spent some time in a large hospital in Beijing for medical treatment. During this period, just in time for the construction of a building called "Workers' Stadium" near the hospital, an ancient tomb was dug up on the construction site, and he also sneaked out of the hospital to see the excitement and went into the underground palace to have a look.
The ancient tomb is said to be a prince of the Ming Dynasty, around the ancient tomb is a circle of black water, the tomb of the underground palace is divided into three parts, the door hangs a jack gate, enter from the gate, first of all, a "Ming Palace" (Hades Temple), according to the layout of the hall of the tomb owner's home before his death, there are various furniture furnishings, these utensils are called "Ming Vessels" (Mortal Vessels).
Further inside, the tomb in the middle, called the "dormitory", is the place where the coffin is placed, this ancient tomb is a joint burial tomb, and very special is that the coffins of the tomb owner and his wife, that is, the prince and the princess, are hung in the middle of the dormitory with large iron chains, large copper rings and copper locks.
This is followed by the "Side Hall", which is a place dedicated to the burial goods.
In addition, a few days later, an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty was also unearthed in Haidian, both tombs have buried boys and girls, unearthed when exactly the same as the living, but the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty unearthed the virgins and men, the clothes on the body turned into ashes when touched.
Later, my grandfather told me these two things as a story, and he said that when these boys and girls were alive, in addition to oral mercury, they had to dig holes in the top of their heads, backs, soles of feet, etc., and filled them with mercury, and then smeared them all over the body with mercury powder after death, as if they were made into specimens, after 10,000 years, the skin and flesh did not rot, this technology was far more advanced than the mummies of ancient Egypt, but the backgrounds of the two civilizations were different, and the value orientation was also very different, and the method of filling mercury to maintain the appearance of the corpse must use a living personThe blood of the dead does not circulate and cannot be poured into it, so this technique has never been used on any tomb owner.
The cruelest thing in the world is probably to use a living person to bury, the fat man put on gloves and took out the body of one of the children, carefully examined, sure enough, on the top of the head, back, soles of the feet, etc., found several holes, the holes on these corpses, have been skillfully craftsman, sealed with fire paint, there are many places on the corpse have appeared a piece of black and purple spots, the burial person or gold, silver and jade often smeared mercury powder, over time will produce chemical changes, the age will be brown and red, the age will become black and purple, This kind of scab is commonly known as "mercury soak" or "mercury soak", and some places call the corpse "rotten yin" and "mercury blue".
The fat man was obviously a little nervous, he pretended to be calm, and said with a sigh: "I have read what Lu Xun wrote before, and there is a description of the mercury immersion on the bone Dong, it seems that the old brother is not blindly written, it is true." ”
Yingzi asked, "This is too pitiful, Brother Hu, why don't you put clothes on these boys and girls?" I remember seeing the kid running by with his clothes on, could it be a ghost? ”
I told her: "Whether it is a ghost or not is only known to themselves, but it is not that these two children do not wear clothes, the boys and girls who accompany the burial must be dressed up, after almost a thousand years, by this time, the clothes have long been rotten, how many years have passed, this giant coffin is probably from the Yuan Dynasty, the moment the Kwantung Army dug out this big coffin and opened it, the clothes turned into dust as soon as they saw the air." ”
Originally, I didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but sometimes the iron-clad facts were in front of me, and I had to believe that the fat man and Yingzi saw the figure of the child in the passage, which was exactly the same as the pair of boys and girls buried in the coffin, and the handprint on my back, the facts here are beyond the scope of human cognition. Maybe it can be explained by the sixth sense, premonition, etc., in short, these are all supernatural phenomena, and with our knowledge, we can only get a glimpse of this mysterious and unknown world.
But what is the purpose of the spirits of these two children to bring us here? It doesn't look like there's any malice.
Yingzi said: "Maybe you want us to bury their bodies, don't you often say that it is safe to bury them?" Why don't we help them, how pitiful. ”
The fat man nodded in agreement: "I just want to get rich and don't want to meddle with miscellaneous things, but this time the situation is special, let's do it, take them out to dig a pit and bury them well, don't poke them naked here, they have all stood for the tomb owner for a thousand years, it's time to rest." ”
The corpses are full of mercury, and they can't be burned, so we can only dig a pit and bury it, and that's all we can do, and I hope there will be fewer tragedies like this in the world.
Without much delay, the fat man and I took off the Kwantung Army coat we were wearing, wrapped the boys and girls in them, tied them and carried them on our backs, and the corpses filled with mercury were dead and heavy, thanks to the children, if it was an adult, it was really enough to carry it alone.
When the fat man saw that he didn't get the valuable treasures, he was a little unhappy, and he wanted to burn all these coffins with a fire, but Yingzi and I hurriedly dissuaded him, and he had to give up.
We went back to the cave to discuss how to get out, at this time everyone was hungry and thirsty, hateful in the underground fortress, no food and water, and no explosives and shells, if we want to return to the ground, there is only one way to go through the robbery hole of the general's tomb, but when I think of the strange power of the corpse, it is really a headache, and it may not be its opponent when it is full of food and drink, not to mention that it is now hungry and weak.
The three of them glanced at each other, and their thoughts were almost the same, there were more than a dozen dead bats on the ground, and now they could only sacrifice these guys to the Five Organs Temple.
Human beings are omnivores, once hungry, there is nothing that can not be eaten, Yingzi said that when she was a child, she ate bats with her grandfather in a cave in the deep mountains and old forests, and that year there was a mountain fire, and caught up with a rare famine, the larger animals in the mountains have run away, people eat gophers, eat bats, eat locusts, eat grass planes, bat tendons and brittle bones are very delicious, chewy.
These pig-faced bats in the cave are skinny and skinny, and they are too hideous and vicious, like the dried corpses of blood-sucking demons, and I have reservations with the fat man about the fact that their meat is delicious.
But in order to survive, I can't take care of so much, if I want to make a fire and barbecue, I have to go back to Gnaku, where there are many wooden boxes that can be used for firewood, and of course coffin boards can also be burned, but eating meat roasted by coffin fire is somewhat unacceptable. So the fat man used the rope he brought on his body, picked five or six fat dead bats to tie their claws, tied them into a string, and dragged them away, including the oversized bat king.
After returning to Gnaku, he put aside the coat that was wrapped in the boy and girl, and Yingzi took out a short knife and cut off the bat's ugly head and meatless claws, and disemboweled, throwing away the blue-gray intestines and excess internal organs of the pig-faced bat's belly, and finally peeled it indiscriminately.
I found a large pile of wooden boxes, kicked them into planks with my feet, took out my knife and sharpened some wood chips, took a match to light the wood chips to start the fire, and the fat man assisted by him, squatted on the ground, rolled up his hands and blew to fuel the fire.
I found a few more bayonets on my rifle to pick up the bats and grill them on the fire, and the fat man frowned, very reluctant to eat this kind of thing.
Yingzi persuaded: "It's not unpalatable, don't think it's a bat, chew it a few more times, and it will taste like mutton." ”
I don't care, bats are not just like mice, when the army was training in Shaanxi, I have eaten many times gophers, dormouses, flying squirrels, voles, civet rats and other kinds of mice, the taste is almost the same, fat and thin variety, it is indeed similar to mutton, but bat meat has really not been eaten.
The pig-faced big bat is a warm-blooded animal, there is not too much fat, it should not be roasted for a long time, after seeing the meat color become cooked, I tasted it first, the meat on the shoulder is very crispy, there are a lot of meat tendons and crispy bones in it, it is by no means as delicious as mutton, but it is indeed very chewy.
When the fat man saw that I had eaten it, he also pinched his nose and took a bite, and felt quite satisfied, and ate one like a storm, and he was still unsatisfied, and put the largest bat king on the bayonet and grilled it.
When we ate about half of it, a string of sticky, shiny liquid dripped from the roof of the fat man's head, which happened to fall on the fat man's face. It's all flowing to Lao Tzu's head. ”
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 7
The fat man ate slippery, and the mucus dripping from the top wall just fell on his face, and the fat man blurted out and scolded: "Who *** flows so much?" It's all flowing to Lao Tzu's head. As soon as the words came out, he himself felt that this question was wrong.
There are only three people in the underground fortress, and Yingzi and I are sitting opposite him, and no matter how capable the two of us are, it is impossible to put saliva on him.
All three of them felt strange, and at the same time looked up, what was the juice flowing from something? The fire, lit by the broken wooden planks of the ammunition box, illuminated the surroundings, and in the distance, beyond the reach of the fire, it was still lonely and dark.
On the roof above us, where the fire and darkness meet, a very large human face peeks out, more than twice the size of ordinary people, so white that it seems to be smeared with flour, without the slightest expression, I can't tell whether it is joy or anger, the eagle hooks its nose, a pair of blood-red strange eyes, staring closely at the roasted bat meat in the fat man's hand, the lips are thick and large, growing forward and protruding, the big mouth with a black hole opens, half of the blood-red tongue hangs on the side of the mouth, and the saliva is about to flow into a river, and a string of drops flows down from above.
The owner of that face, with a long neck and dark and hard skin, was hidden in the darkness of the fire because of the high ceiling of the underground Ganakul, and only his face and a neck could be seen, and he seemed to be very interested in the roasted bat meat we ate, and wanted to pounce down and snatch it, but he was afraid of the flames burning below, and hesitated.
However, it seemed that the smell of barbecue was too tempting for him, and he could no longer hold back, and he would jump off the upside-down roof at any time.
Is this a human or a monster? The three of us looked up and looked at it in amazement, and although I didn't know where it came from, I could tell that he wanted to eat roasted bat meat.
We brought out five big bats from the cave, Yingzi and I ate half of each, and the fat man ate a whole one, and there were three left, and the fat man divided the largest bat king into three parts, and skewered one of them with a rifle bayonet, and roasted it on the fire.
This pig-faced bat king doesn't know how many hundred years of life, the volume is terrifying, not counting the wings, the body alone is the size of a five or six-year-old child, the weight is really not light, the fire we use to roast meat is not big, even if the bat king is divided into three parts, it can only be roasted one of them at the same time, so only the bat meat in the fat man's hand is eight mature, and the rest are dead bats that have not been roasted on the fire.
But when there was no room for it, where did I think about it, I saw that the fat man was frightened by the expressionless face on his head, and hurriedly snatched the bayonet in his hand with the roasted bat meat in his hand, raised it and spun around in front of the strange face, and threw it aside.
I made a lot of strength, but I didn't throw it far, the bat meat was thrown off the bayonet, and landed not far behind Yingzi, and before Yingzi could look back, a huge beast jumped down from the roof, only pounced, took the roasted bat king in his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.
By the light of the fire, we can see clearly, it turns out that the animal is not a man, its face is like a baboon, it resembles a human face, its neck is extremely long, the size and shape of its body are like that of a bear, but it is not as clumsy as a bear, relatively speaking, its body is slightly flattened, its hind limbs are arched, short and thick, and its forelimbs are surprisingly long.
Yingzi had never seen this animal, and the fat man and I had seen pictures of it in museums, and as soon as it was revealed, we immediately remembered that it was a "sloth on the prairie", yes, this is it.
It lives in underground caves deep in the grassland, mainly distributed in South America, Africa, Outer Mongolia, and the steppe, the same is the ground sloth, the grassland land sloth is different from the jungle land sloth living in the jungle, and its distant relatives are more different from the sloth, the grassland land sloth inherits more of the characteristics of the ancestor of the ground sloth "glacial land sloth", the body size is extraordinarily large, mainly for meat feeding, rarely active in the sun, the most like to prey on big bats, big land pigs, pythons and other animals that live underground.
The sloth hunting method of the grassland is to control the movement with static, rarely take the initiative to attack, they are quietly hidden in the dark, motionless, sometimes a latent for several days, do not drink or eat, and wait for animals to pass by, then suddenly lightning stretched out their mouths, one bite to eat each other.
When the founding of the People's Republic of China, African fraternal countries once gave a Beijing Zoo, but it did not adapt to the living environment in Beijing, and it didn't take long to die, when I went to Beijing with the fat man and some classmates, the Beijing Red Guards who joined us in victory, took us around, and saw a huge cage with the grassland sloth in the zoo, the grassland sloth in the cage has died, only the empty cage remains, we see a huge empty cage, and a little strange, so I deliberately took a few more looks, The cage has an introduction and pictures of it.
After many years, we still have a deep impression of this incident, but we never expected that such a big one would be encountered in the underground fortress of the Kwantung Army.
Presumably it is tracking the pig-faced big bat to come here, the big bats in this fortress are difficult to count, we only see a nest in a stone cave, no less than a thousand, the fortress is dozens of kilometers deep, maybe somewhere, there are a few nests hidden.
It has thick skin and many small bone fragments under its skin, like it wears a lot of armor, which is unbreakable in adulthood.
The vicious pig-faced big bat has sharp claws, although it can easily tear the belly of cattle and sheep, but it can't hurt the grassland sloth, even if it scratches a few times, it doesn't hurt or itch, there is no natural enemy here, and there are countless pig-faced big bats to kill, which is exactly what it is.
However, I don't know how such a large size of the grassland land sloth entered the fortress, it is possible that the earthquake or the landslide caused some large cracks in the underground fortress, and it is from there that it crawls into the fortress to feed, and if we find that entrance, we should be able to get out from there.
The prairie land that jumped down from the roof of the house lazily ate the roasted bat meat, stretched out its long tongue and added a few circles to the side of his mouth, obviously such a piece of meat could not satisfy his appetite, and aroused its strong appetite, staring at the three of us, I don't know what to think. In the underworld, it is the king, and it occasionally takes the initiative to hunt for food, and whenever it moves, there is little to stop it.
At this moment of confrontation between the two sides, I turned a few times in my mind, the terrain of the underground fortress, and dealing with wild beasts, these things are a little strange to me, is it necessary to strike first, the submachine gun is at hand, but the lethality of the Baishi submachine gun is very limited, the bones and skin of the grassland land sloth are enough to resist, don't fight the snake again, but be bitten by the snake, it will make it angry, but I am not sure that I can get out.
The Japanese army's Tomosaka-style rifle, which has a very penetrating power, should be able to kill the grassland sloth, but we only took a few stabs, and the two rifles that were loaded with bullets before were placed twenty or thirty meters away, and someone had to draw the attention of the grassland sloth, so I could run over and get the rifle, so it took a short time to go back and forth, and the grassland sloth was too close to our position......
I couldn't even think of a few thoughts, but I wasn't sure, then the fat man stood in place and whispered to me: "Old Hu, I remember that this thing only eats warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals, not people, so I think it's fine." "Gently kicking the dead bat to the grassland sloth with his foot, that means, it's all up to you, hurry up and eat it, don't trouble us.
Who knew that the grassland was lazy, and he didn't even look at the dead bats, but drooled at us.
The fat man turned to me and asked, "Why doesn't it eat bats, it always stares at us, as if it has bad intentions?" ”
I didn't dare to be distracted to talk to the fat man, and watched the sloth's every move of the prairie sloth, as long as it had an attempt to attack, then I could only rush ahead of it, pick up the submachine gun on the ground, and give it a shuttle.
Yingzi said: "We all ate a lot of roasted bat meat, it is probably ...... Think of us as bats......"
Before her words fell, the grassland sloth, could not stand the smell of roasted bat meat, and forced us step by step, all wild animals eat raw meat, because they have never eaten cooked meat by nature, once they have eaten a bite, the taste of cooked meat is the biggest temptation for them.
I found that it was slow, and I felt that it was not necessary to fight with it, so it was better to run, I beckoned to the other two, and the three of them turned around and ran, just running two steps, but at this time, I tripped over a hard object under my feet, and this kick knocked me down, and my knee was almost broken, and even the fat Yingzi fell to the ground at the same time.
I wondered to myself, what stumbled over me? At the same time as he fell to the ground, he glanced at the ground, the ground was flat, where was there anything that could trip over people, and his heart moved: "Just thinking about escaping, but the corpses of the pair of virgins and men forgot to bring them, isn't it a ghost stumbling?" ”
Kwantung Army Secret Fortress 8
The prairie sloth has probably never seen a human walking animal on two legs, it smells the fragrance of roasted bat meat on three people, and has regarded us as bats, but it can't accept it for the time being, and it is also afraid of fire, and does not dare to move forward easily, is thinking about how to swallow these few delicious foods to the mouth, and when it saw the three of us fall to the ground, "poof" jumped over.
Its hind limbs were thick and strong, and it jumped in front of the fat man in one leap, and probably thought that this one had a lot of meat, so it was ready to beat the fat man first.
Seeing this, the fat man had to struggle desperately, scratching on the ground with both hands, trying to find a weapon, and there happened to be a bayonet for roasting bats on the ground, and the fat man copied it and stabbed it in the arm of the sloth of the grassland to the end.
The knife has been roasted for a long time, just like a red iron bar, after stabbing the grassland sloth, only a scorched stench was smelled in the nose, the grassland sloth was invincible in the underground cave, how could he have suffered this kind of loss, it hurt and was angry, but he didn't dare to bite the fat man again, slowly took a few steps back, waiting for the opportunity to move again.
After the scorching bayonet stabbed him, the temperature immediately dropped, and the blood of the lazy grassland made the face of the knife face bub with white gas, and the fat man had just hit it, all by the temperature of the bayonet, otherwise it would not be able to pierce it at all.
I took advantage of the gap between the fat man to repel the sloth of the grassland and Yingzi, one by one, and wrapped the military coat containing the boy and woman on his back, I hope these two little ghosts will not make trouble again.
Carrying the corpse of the martyred boy on my back, I bent down and held the submachine gun in my hand, knowing that the lethality of this hundred-style submachine gun was far from enough to kill the grassland sloth, but I also expected to use it to resist one or two at a critical moment.
Before I could pull the bolt, on the wall behind me, a claw suddenly poked out, straight to the top of my head, the claw came too fast, the momentum was so fast, I didn't have time to bow my head, I had to use the submachine gun in my hand to cover, was swept away by a claw, I couldn't hold it, the submachine gun flew out of my hand, far into the darkness that the fire could not reach.
It turned out that unconsciously, four prairie sloths climbed down the wall, two large and two small, the youngest of which was about the size of an adult, and it was obvious that they were also attracted by the smell of roasted bat meat and came to hunt for food.
Five prairie sloths surrounded the three of us, and if one of them took the lead, the rest would rush up and tear us to pieces and eat us.
The only thing we had to rely on was the fire, and the three of them were stuck back to back, the fat man with a bayonet, the young man with a submachine gun, and only me with my bare hands.
The fire lit by the wood chips is getting darker and darker, and it will be extinguished in a while, and it will be extinguished after a while, and we really have to wait until then, we are the sloth of the grassland land, thinking of this, I can't help but secretly cry bitterly: "One is enough for the fucking is not easy to deal with, but now it's good, the grassland land sloth in this fortress, the whole family is dispatched, and we are in a desperate situation, how can we fight a bloody way?" ”
I grabbed a flaming stick of wood from the fire and swung it at the smallest of the prairie sloths that blocked its way, and it was so frightened that it shrank aside, and a gap appeared in the encirclement.
The flame of the wooden strip was not big, and it was almost extinguished when it was waved, but we didn't dare to delay any longer, so we rushed out together, and a few drooling grassland lands hesitated for a moment, and then pounced together.
The submachine gun in Yingzi's hand shot a string of bullets, and the grassland sloth at the head was hit by the bullets, and blood splashed on their bodies, but they were covered with thick skin calluses, although the bullets entered the body, they could not shoot into the bone armor inside the body, but they angered them, and they pressed step by step, and they had to eat these three people in their mouths before they stopped.
Yingzi was the only one of the three of us who had a submachine gun, and every time she changed magazines, the fat man and I would wave a flaming wooden stick to stop the grassland sloths and prevent them from having a chance to approach. After fighting and retreating, due to the blind direction of the breakthrough, the distance from the place where the weapons were placed became more and more original, but retreated to the edge of the large iron gate of Gnaku.
We wanted to eat and drink enough, and then try to find a way to get out of the passage outside the iron gate, but the sudden attack of the sloth of the grassland caught us off guard, and we retreated here in a hurry, and the flames of the wooden strips became weaker and weaker, and finally only the blackened wooden strips remained, with only a few sparks on the head, and there were not many bullets.
The grassland sloth is huge, several are crowded together, like an insurmountable city wall, slapped by their claws, the lightest is also broken bones, the encirclement of the grassland sloth is gradually shrinking, we are all suppressed in front of the iron gate, there is no room for advance and retreat,
Now we have to get out of the way, the fat man and I threw the wooden strip with Mars in our hands to the grassland sloth, Yingzi fired with a hundred submachine guns, and forced these grassland sloths to take a few steps back with the last combat power, the fat man turned around and pushed open the iron door behind him, and I took out the black donkey's hooves and smashed it out.
Unexpectedly, the corpse was not in front of the door, we had no time to think about it, and retreated into the passage behind the iron gate one after another, the fat man just wanted to close the big iron gate, when there was no huge force in the iron gate, the grassland land lazy weight of several tons of brute force, the end is extraordinary, the three of them tried their best to push the iron door up, but said nothing could be done.
Suddenly, a true yin wind came to my face, I hurriedly dodged, it turned out that the ancient corpse of the general of the Jin Kingdom who was possessed by the evil god never left the door, and had been wandering around here, the corpse had no IQ, and was spelled by the wizard after death, like a zombie, just blindly pounced when he saw the living.
If it weren't for the fact that I had been in a hundred battles and had a lot of experience in facing the enemy, I would have been pounced by it, and I rolled to the ground, and was about to get up and dodge, when the iron door had been knocked open, and one of the largest grassland sloths jumped out first.
The prairie sloth used its thick hind limbs, like a big frog, to jump out of the door, just knocked down the corpse, the corpse fell to the ground, its body could not bend, and then it bounced up, and ten fingers like steel knives were inserted into the chest of the prairie sloth.
The prairie sloth screamed and opened its mouth to bite, and several other large and small prairie sloths also hugged out of the gnaku, and when they saw that their companions were injured, they went to bite the corpses.
One of the smallest grassland sloths was torn off by the corpse alive, and the corpse was also bitten by two grassland sloths, and the two sides were on par with each other, for a while, the two sides were entangled together, and in an instant, the walls, the ground, and the iron gate were splashed with large patches of blood on the grassland sloth, and the broken flesh flew sideways, and at the same time, the corpse's arm was bitten off.
We saw this thrilling tomb in front of us, are secretly frightened, if the corpse and the grassland land lazy back and forth, then these three people will inevitably die without a place to bury, our mistake, actually inadvertently played a role in the situation of the two tigers fighting, it is really a fluke.
We carried the bodies of the two virgins and boys on our backs, and fled towards the hole in the wall of the back room of the ancient tomb, only hating our father and mother for missing two legs, anxious like a lost dog, busy like a fish that slipped through the net, such an embarrassing situation, there is no need to describe it in detail.
The big hole in the collapsed tomb wall is still the same as when we escaped before, we escaped from here before, and this time we escaped back, and we went around in a big circle, and we didn't get anything valuable, and we got into so much trouble in vain, and we added these two child corpses filled with mercury, which really made people cry and laugh, but although the underground fortress had nothing of value, it had a lot of clothing and equipment, and there might be a few simple generators that could be found somewhere, and you could tell the people in the tunzi about it. It's not in vain that we've spent a lot of time in the underground fortress going from birth to death.
As long as you can climb out of the shaft outside the thief hole, at this time everyone's mental and physical strength has reached the limit, but people are desperate, dogs are anxious to jump over the wall, when facing a desperate situation, it can often stimulate the potential of human beings, Yingzi used a submachine gun to strafe the coffin board that sealed the thief hole, a whole two shuttles, and the sawdust flew sideways, the coffin lid was originally embedded in the wall, the bullet hit the middle badly, the fat man ran up, and knocked the coffin board into two sections with his shoulder, and the thief hole was exposed again, I first pushed Yingzi up the shaft, Then he and the fat man lifted the corpses of the virgins and men on their backs, and Yingzi caught them on the top, and reached out to pull me up.
In the end, the fat man was left, because we both needed to pull him up the shaft, and he could climb up, and the fat man was about to climb up, and the two steppe sloths mixed with blood had already rushed into the tomb, and they became crazy, roaring like thunder, and probably the rest of their families were all killed by the corpse, and even if the corpse was powerful, most of them could not resist the huge beast of the grassland sloth, and they were bitten into pieces.
The remaining two are wounded grassland sloths, red eyes, fierce pursuit, all the way with us into the tomb, the fat man looked back, his face was pale, hurriedly climbed up the shaft, the more anxious the more he couldn't climb down, the grassland was lazy, had rushed to the front of the thief hole, fortunately the thief hole was too narrow for them, could not drill out, they kept digging the soil with big claws, wanted to expand the thief hole, so as to climb out of it, I saw that the situation was urgent, picked up Yingzi's charge and threw it to the fat man, the fat man would understand, First fired a few shots to force back the grassland sloth crowded at the entrance of the thief hole, and immediately aimed at the Tianbao Dragon Fire glazed top on the top of the tomb and fired a strafing shot, the glazed tiles on the top were broken, and bags of Western Regions dragon oil were poured down, and the entire tomb, including the two grassland sloths, were engulfed by the fire ignited by the fire dragon oil.
At the same time, Yingzi and I used our last strength to pull the fat man out of the shaft, Rao was like this, the fat man's pants were also burned by the flames that erupted from the thief hole, he kept slapping the flames on his buttocks, screaming in pain like a pig, Yingzi quickly took the kettle to extinguish the fire on his buttocks, and his pants were already burned to the bare stomach.
The hounds crouched faithfully beside them, looking at the three masters who had climbed up from the cave, it was noon, the sun was shining, I rubbed my eyes, compared to the gloomy underground fortress, it was really like a world away.
The fat man covered his buttocks with one hand, and raised the two pieces of jade obtained from the tomb with the other hand to look at it, and couldn't help but be poetic again, and recited a few famous sentences from the long poem of the World War:
The flames of war have been extinguished, and the smoke has dispersed.
The sun has never been so warm;
The sky has never been so blue;
The smiles on the children's faces have never been so sweet.
Yingzi and I couldn't help but laugh when we watched the fat man's actions, have you ever seen a poet who recites with his butt covered? But something happened suddenly that made our smiles freeze quickly......
