Volume 1 The Chrysalis Chapter 19 The Vanishing Army
Excavations were carried out from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Including Li Dafu, Li Mutou and Sun Yongjun, more than 70 people dug for 7 hours!
They didn't even go back to eat at noon.
Finally, before the sun set, the whole pit was dug out.
In a large pit with a diameter of 40 meters and a depth of more than ten meters, more than 300 complete skeletons in military uniforms were buried!
There are also more than 300 matching helmets and Type 38 rifles.
Although it is less than the scale of a mass grave, it is enough to make people feel cool after seeing it!
This is simply spectacular!
Daifuku couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the so many skeletons and guns lined up in the big pit in front of him.
Everyone next to him thought the same thing in their hearts.
What happened here to cause so many Japanese soldiers to die!
Daifuku can basically conclude that these are Japanese soldiers, because their outfits and weapons are the same as those on TV!
Moreover, Daifuku carefully investigated and found that most of the guns in the hands of Japanese soldiers could be used!
There's even a lot of bullets in there!
This is even more incredible, these Japanese soldiers still have enough elixir.
So what kind of enemy was it that made them, the well-equipped team that could be called at that time, all die tragically in this 40-meter pit without even running out of ammunition!
In the end, such a big hole was filled in such a short period of time!
Daifuku couldn't understand that this matter was really beyond his cognition.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"It's the village chief and Uncle Zhao Jianguo!"
The village chief's name is Zhao Baojun, who is in his 50s this year, and has been the village chief for decades, and has never embezzled a penny. Wholeheartedly do practical things for the people, so everyone respects him very much.
Not to mention Uncle Zhao Jianguo, he is the most respected person in the village and the oldest person in the village.
He has just passed his 100th birthday this year, and he is a centenarian in the true sense, and he is also the grandfather of the village chief Zhao Baojun.
The village chief hurried back from the township after hearing the news.
He was supposed to be in town for a meeting today and tomorrow, but he heard that hundreds of skeletons and guns had been dug up in his village!
hurriedly asked the leader for leave, and rushed back in a hurry, this matter is too big.
As a result, the old man Jianguo also heard this on the road, and he had to ask the village chief to take him over.
The village chief was afraid that the old man would be old and in poor health, so he didn't think about bringing him over.
In the end, the old man couldn't resist it, so he had to agree.
At this time, the village chief pushed away the crowd, and when he reached the front, he also gasped when he saw hundreds of skeletons and hundreds of guns in the pit.
Living so big, I've never seen this formation!
The village chief asked the people around him who found out first, and everyone pointed to Li Mutou.
Li Mutou knew that this matter was not trivial, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he told the village chief how he and Dafu found out about this place.
Of course, Li Mutou didn't say some specific details, he didn't want to let himself and Daifuku have anything to do with this matter.
After hearing this, the village chief pondered for a while and said:
"This is not a trivial matter, I better report it to the government first, and wait for them to send someone down to investigate the matter carefully." ”
So the village chief made a phone call and walked away, listening to the conversation as if he was reporting to his superiors.
At this time, Uncle Zhao walked to the side of the pit tremblingly with a cane.
Looking at the skeletons in a pit, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his body trembled.
Daifuku noticed this small detail, so he stepped forward and asked:
"Grandpa Zhao, do you know something?"
When Zhao Jianguo heard this, he turned his head and found that it was Dafu.
He sighed and asked, "It's a great blessing, I heard from the village that you didn't lose your soul, and now your health is better?"
"I'm much better, thank you Grandpa Zhao for your concern!Grandpa Zhao, I see that you seem to know something about this matter, can you talk about it conveniently?"
Zhao Jianguo smiled and touched Dafu's head, "What a little clever ghost, nothing can escape your eyes." ”
Zhao Jianguo took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, "Actually, I'm not sure if this matter has anything to do with the thing I know." Because, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes. ”
Daifuku was interested when he heard it, and there was a play!
Zhao Jianguo stroked his beard and frowned, as if he was recalling something.
After a long time, it seemed that there were some eyebrows, and then such a story was slowly told......
That was decades ago, and Zhao Jianguo can't remember how long it was.
I only remember that at that time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had not yet ended.
The whole country was in an extremely tense atmosphere, and everyone was terrified, because they didn't know when, the Japanese suddenly came in.
Zhao Jianguo's village is also the current village, and it is naturally no exception.
Everyone worked together to dig a cellar to prevent the Japanese from breaking in, so that they could have a place to hide.
I remember that day, Zhao Jianguo's wife was making a nest, and suddenly heard several gunshots outside the village.
The husband and wife picked up the unripe nest and ran to the cellar.
On the way, I could vaguely see a group of people in military uniforms running in the distance outside the village.
As soon as I entered the cellar, I heard a fierce burst of gunfire outside.
It lasted about ten minutes, and then fell into a lull.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Jianguo couldn't tell the time in the dark.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of gunfire that was even more intense than just now, and I could faintly hear the screams of many people!
This time it lasted for a short time, about a dozen seconds later, and the gunshots and screams disappeared.
After that, there was more peace.
Eventually, the food in the cellar was eaten up, and gradually some people couldn't hold back and wanted to go out and have a look.
After all, hunger is really one of the two hardest things in the world, and when you are hungry to the extreme, people will show their animal nature, and the story of easy children and food in ancient times is not uncommon.
Another thing is not being able to sleep, which is actually a punishment in ancient times.
In fact, when the prisoner is about to fall asleep, he beats the gongs and drums in various ways to make a sound, so that he cannot sleep.
It is generally used to interrogate prisoners whose behavior is particularly bad, which shows its cruelty!
Speaking of which, after the first person took the lead, there were gradually people who got bold and climbed out of the cellar.
Zhao Jianguo and his wife also climbed out with the crowd.
The scene on the ground, as imagined, is not quite the same.
There were no fierce Japanese people, only a dozen martyrs who died in the battle just now.
Nothing else!
Those Japanese, dressed in military uniforms and holding guns, just disappeared!
Or is it already gone?
At that time, Zhao Jianguo didn't think too much, no matter where the Japanese went, as long as they were not in the village, it was the best news.
Later, the villagers buried the martyrs who died in the battle at the entrance of the village and erected a tombstone for the martyrs.
It is used to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in this battle.
As for the Japanese who disappeared, Zhao Jianguo gradually forgot about them.
Later, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won.
This incident disappeared into the torrent of history.
But I didn't expect to see these Japanese who seemed to have disappeared before again today!
That's why Zhao Jianguo was so shocked.
When Daifuku heard this, he gradually had a rough outline in his heart.
There are all kinds of indications that:
There is a great possibility that these skeletons lying in the pit are those Japanese soldiers who disappeared for unknown reasons decades ago!
