Chapter 159: Skeleton Legion (2)
The voices of Lu Dachuan and Liu Changjiao sounded a little loud to me, but they were actually quite small, I didn't expect that the skeleton soldiers outside the cave had no ears, and their hearing would be so sensitive, but fortunately they just glanced at the cave, and they kept walking forward, but even so, we were scared out of a cold sweat, and we covered our mouths for a long time and didn't dare to say a word,
The skeletal soldiers who had glanced at the cave where we were hiding walked over, and the soldiers who followed them were unaffected by them, and kept in a neat formation, and walked forward mechanically with neat steps.
The skeletal soldiers who came out of the cave stopped moving forward when they walked to the waterhole near the stone gate, and lined up in the open space on both sides of the waterhole.
After hearing Lu Dachuan and Liu Changleg talk about the equipment on the skeletons, I took a closer look and found that the military uniforms and equipment on their bodies are indeed a bit old, especially the simple gas masks carried by almost all of their soldiers.
As for the reason, I believe most friends also know, but here is one more sentence, so that friends who don't know understand, the appearance of gas masks, which look like pig's noses, is inseparable from war, it was first described by da Vinci in the 16th century A simple protective mask, with a muslin dipped in water to cover the nose and mouth of sailors, to protect them from their own design of poison powder weapons,
On April 22 of this year, the German army used a large-scale chlorine cloud near Ipar to launch the first poison gas attack in history, causing more than 10,000 people to be poisoned and killed by the British and French forces, and on May 31 of the same year, the German army carried out a larger-scale chemical attack on the Russian army on the Eastern Front in Polimov, using 12,000 poison cylinders at a time and releasing more than 260 tons of chlorine gas on the 12-kilometer frontal front. It is precisely because of the large-scale use of chemical weapons by the warring parties that the development and large-scale use of gas masks in warfare has been greatly stimulated, and even horses and military dogs on the battlefield are equipped with gas masks......
Don't talk about it, the book is back to business, people don't feel how silent they are when they have nothing to say, but there are many words in my heart that I deliberately endure and don't say that it tastes very uncomfortable, especially when it is determined that the identity of these skeletons is a British soldier during the First World War, I only have the most basic understanding of that war, and there is no specific concept of firepower at that time, so I can't estimate how strong the ability of these skeletons to fight alone is, and other questions can be confused for the time being. These questions related to our lives are completely unavoidable, so these questions make me feel uncomfortable as if there are many ants crawling, so even though I know that those guys outside have a keen sense of hearing, I can't help but open my mouth,
And at this time, everyone couldn't help but start talking, but the voice was very low, Lu Dachuan and Liu Changjiao, who were next to each other, muttered and spoke, only Lin Xian'er was separated in the middle, I could hear a word of what they said, the more I couldn't hear it clearly, the more curious I was about how much they knew about these skeletons, and I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and pull Lu Dachuan and asked, "What kind of rifle do they use that you just said." ”
Lu Dachuan leaned his head over and said like a mosquito: "Enfield No. 3 rifle." ”
"Enfield No. 3 rifle." I repeated Lu Dachuan's words, "This name is so unfamiliar, is this gun powerful." ”
Lu Dachuan glared at me: "What do you mean by being a stranger......
I saw that Lu Dachuan was about to blow his beard and stare at people again, so I interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't teach people, I'll go study hard when I go out." ”
"Pull it down, you can't make money and study when you go out, let my sister drink the northwest wind with you."
Because I was anxious to find out the situation of these skeleton troops, I didn't have the heart to quarrel with Lu Dachuan, so I followed him and said: "I know, make money to feed your sister, you don't talk about it now, tell me everything you know." ”
Of course, Lu Dachuan will not fail to understand, now is not the time to quarrel and talk nonsense, he softened his tone and said: "The Enfield rifle is an improvement on the basis of the Type 1895 rifle developed by a Scotsman named James Lee, the full name is the 'Lee-Enfield Magazine Short Rifle', which was put into production in 1903 and is the standard equipment of all Commonwealth countries in World War I, World War II and the Korean War.
Enfield rifles are also like almost all firearms, there are a variety of basic models, these skeletons are equipped with the No.3 type, this rifle is certainly not as good as the current gun in any aspect, but it is the best rifle on the battlefield during World War I, the loading capacity is large, the rate of fire is fast, a team of soldiers at the same time shoots rapid fire when the firepower is comparable to a machine gun, in the Battle of Mons in 1914, 1,500 British troops armed with No. 3 rifles fought nearly 5,000 enemies, you say it is not powerful. ”
"Oh." I originally thought that in the last resort, when this guy opened the stone gate, a few of us could use the advantage of weapons and my speed and strength to fight with them to get out, and I knew that it was basically no longer a game when I heard Lu Dachuan say this, so it was better to honestly shrink back and not let them find out and find another way.
Seeing that there were more and more skeleton soldiers in the cave hall, there were four or five hundred of them, and the cave next to me was still running out, I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Fuck his uncle, this big head is too perverted, these soldiers who died in battle are miserable enough, and they still make people's bones so unpeaceful." ”
"The fate of these soldiers is even more tragic than you think." Lu Dachuan said, "They were brought here when they were alive. ”
"Ahh Lu Dachuan's words surprised me, "How do you know." ”
Lu Dachuan fumbled and took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed it, saying: "In the world's military history, there are several unsolved cases in which hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared in formations. ”
Listening to Lu Dachuan's tone, it seemed that he knew in detail, and I asked curiously: "Why don't I know at all, where did you hear about it, and you can tell me in detail about what is going on." ”
On August 28, 1915, when the British and New Zealand troops were deployed in the Kerripori area of Turkey, a pair of more than 800 British troops moved to a high ground during the day, when the weather was clear, there were similar bread-like clouds floating over the British positions, and the hill where the British army was going to move had a thick gray fog, and the top of the mountain should be visible. As the group climbed, the team gradually disappeared into the fog, until the last soldier disappeared into the fog.
Dozens of minutes later, the fog on the hill dissipated, the entire highland was silent, and more than 800 people mysteriously disappeared like a gray fog.
Twenty-two New Zealand soldiers who were in the same position with more than 800 British soldiers witnessed the incident, and these twenty-two soldiers reported to their superiors afterwards, and the British army conducted a large-scale search, but to no avail, at that time the British army had always believed that the greatest possibility was that all the pairs of men and horses were captured by the Turkish army.
After the end of the war, Britain offered Turkey to return the missing more than 800 British soldiers, but Turkey insisted that it had never seen this unit, and since then it has never seen any of the more than 800 soldiers.
Looking at the clothes and equipment on these skeletons, it should be the more than 800 people who disappeared in the Calipoli area of Turkey at that time.
And the skeletal soldiers I told you to see quickly leaving the water suddenly didn't look closely at the time, and now I think that it is likely to be a mixture of the mysteriously disappeared French army during World War I, the Spanish army that disappeared later, and the Kuomintang army during World War II. ”
Listening to Lu Dachuan say this in detail, I finally understood why he was so excited to find out that these skeletons passing in front of us were wearing British military uniforms, but I didn't expect that the Kuomintang troops had also disappeared mysteriously, and I was even more curious: "What was the situation when the remaining armies disappeared." ”
"The situation of the French army was similar to that of the British army, and it was also during the First World War that a whole battalion was quietly missing in the Malden Heights,
In Spain, in 1711, the largest of all the disappearances, with almost 4,000 men, it is reported that these soldiers were stationed on a hill called Parien Hill waiting for reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrived at the camp on the mountain the next morning, the campfires were not extinguished, the horses and cannons were there, but none of the more than 4,000 people were gone.
What happened in our country was in the defense of Nanjing in 1937, when the Kuomintang concentrated 200,000 troops gathered around the city of Nanjing, among which a regiment of a division of the Sichuan Army served as the flank of the position to guard the enemy.
Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang headquarters also formed a joint investigation team to conduct a special investigation into the disappearance case, but found nothing, and finally it was closed. ”
"His uncle, these people must have let the big heads they used Qimen to get into the mirror space, and then they were brought under this ground, where can they find it."
"Don't talk about it, look at the people behind them."
Just talking to Lu Dachuan, I was a little negligent and didn't pay attention to the situation outside, and heard Lin Xian'er say that there were people behind the skeleton soldiers, and hurriedly looked outside the cave, and sure enough, I saw two big heads following side by side at the end of the team, and I just secretly screamed in my heart, and the two big heads also found us, and they quickly shouted a few words that we didn't understand like chanting a spell, and the skeleton soldiers who had already walked over quickly turned around and rushed towards us with spears in hand......
