The two of them hid at the entrance of the passage and waited quietly for a while.
The passage below was still dark, without any light, only the small red lamp bead flashing rhythmically.
The sound came from the speaker of the steel tape recorder. After about a few seconds, the sound suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on Wang Qiang's waist.
It startled both of them.
"What the hell? Why didn't you turn this thing off?"
"Forget, forget, mine, mine!"
Wang Qiang quickly turned down the volume knob of the intercom.
The two calmed down and looked out through the ventilation holes. There was still no unnecessary movement around them.
It stands to reason that if there is anyone in this passage who can breathe, there will definitely be a reaction if the two of them made such a big noise just now.
The two waited quietly for about two or three minutes to make sure there was nothing unusual. Then they carefully removed the cover of the passage and slowly slid down to the ground along the wall.
Just when I stood firm on my feet, I heard a "click".
It seemed like something had been stepped on.
Lin Yi grinned and patted his chest gently.
"This one is mine, it's mine."
The two of them stood firm one after another, with their backs pressed against the wall, allowing their eyes to adapt to the surrounding environment as quickly as possible. Then they took out the fire folding bag from their arms, blew it, and took a photo around it.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, there is a layer of dead bones piled up where they landed.
The bones had a burnt black color and were riddled with voids.
There are only two reasons for this situation, either caused by poisoning or erosion by acidic substances.
"Old Lin, look at this!"
Wang Qiang reached out and pulled out a steel helmet from the pile of dead bones.
"At first glance, this thing belongs to the Japanese. Judging from the standard, it should be a 90-style steel helmet."
Based on his knowledge of military products, he should be able to guess pretty well.
The green paint of this helmet has fallen off, leaving only a faded five-pointed star on it, and a few pieces of lining called "Japanese fart curtains" in the hat.
"The five-pointed star was originally a circle larger than this one. Later, this thing became the crosshair for us to aim at. Once we hit it, the five-pointed star was accurate. The Japanese later shrank the five-pointed star.
Also, the helmet was too thin and uncomfortable to wear, so the Japanese soldiers used this strip of cloth as a covering. "
Wang Qiang threw down the helmet and used his tooth ax to pull it around on the ground several times.
Then he pulled out two handfuls of San Ba Gai from the pile of dead bones.
From these things, it can be basically determined that this group of Japanese soldiers who died of unknown causes are the same group of Japanese soldiers they encountered before, who died in traps and were washed into the garbage dump.
"Why are these people dying here?"
Lin Yi raised the fire folder alertly and walked a few steps towards the steel tape recorder, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a cave behind it.
"Lao Wang, come here."
Wang Qiang held up the fire folder and quickly moved towards his location.
Lin Yi broke two fluorescent sticks and threw them deep into the passage.
The situation in the entire passage can be seen at a glance.
The ground was covered with dead bones. Judging from the number of skulls alone, at least hundreds of people died here.
Including the corpses that died before, this Japanese army, according to their establishment at the time, should be regarded as a squadron, with about 150-200 people, which is larger than our company-level establishment.
There were multiple bullet holes in the walls and even shrapnel from exploding grenades.
"Damn it, look at this situation, there was a fierce battle here?"
Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to touch the bullet marks on the wall and sighed.
At the end of this skeletal road is the American steel tape recorder they discovered just now.
It's a miracle that this thing is still functioning properly after all these years.
Lin Yi came closer and pointed the light stick at the nameplate on the recorder.
"The place of origin is Chicago, so it must be an old American product. The things made in the United States back then were really awesome, and they were willing to buy them. How can they be like now?"
Wang Qiang was thinking casually, while Lin Yi was studying the equipment around the wiring of these things.
Originally, this kind of steel tape recorder had multiple knobs on it to control its operation.
The knobs on the steel tape recorder in front of me have been removed and replaced with a piece of steel wire.
The wire is tied to a joystick, forming a linkage.
Its source of electrical energy is a power cord that goes deep into the ground.
I followed the power cord all the way down and found two stone slabs with gaps on the ground.
The wires passed through the stone slab.
The two of them worked together to pry open the stone slab and discovered that there were two deep holes underneath, extending diagonally outward.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a four-square box that looks a bit old. The lines on it are connected to the outside world, and there are two meters.
It looks like a device that generates electricity and stores electricity.
"These devils have also put in a lot of effort. This set of power generation and storage equipment was an incredible treasure back then.
You see, this line leads outside. Maybe they chose the location early and built a reservoir.
Many areas in the Tengger Desert are saline-alkali lands. They used precipitation and natural salt to build a permanent power generation and storage device. It has been running for so long and can still be used normally. "
Wang Qiang couldn't help but be speechless.
"The Japanese are really willing to spend a lot of money. What is it that is worth their efforts?"
Lin Yi shook his head and continued to explore along the line.
Just under the steel tape recorder, a radio signal transmitter was found.
"Found it! The root is here!"
Lin Yi shouted happily.
"This set of equipment was really considered to be the core of the world's science and technology at that time. It generates electricity through salt water, stores electricity in the battery, drives the steel tape recorder, plays the pre-recorded content, and then uses this signal transmitter to record the voice The signal is released covering the entire frequency band.”
"That's why Wei's walkie-talkies are interoperable because he received the information sent here."
"Yes, but why didn't our walkie-talkie receive the message?"
"Hey, don't you think about it, this thing has been around for many years. The signal is intermittent, good and bad. Whether you can receive it or not depends on fate. Besides, we are standing here now, and we can hear more clearly than through the walkie-talkie. ”
Lin Yi nodded and took a closer look at the equipment in front of him, still feeling a little unbelievable.
However, when his gaze shifted to the back of the equipment, his jaw nearly dropped.
Just behind this set of equipment, a huge arc-shaped space appeared.
It can be seen from the pickaxe marks and shovel marks on the wall that this place was excavated by humans. It should have been expanded by this group of devils back then.
Now in this space, there is a military truck, several military three-wheeled motorcycles, as well as mortars, machine guns, ammunition boxes and other items, which is a small ammunition depot. (End of chapter)
