Chapter 46 Forty-five, telegram

When Old Tang said these words, he spoke very lightly, but Wang Sichuan and I still felt a kind of creepy feeling that could not be expressed. Twenty years ago, a Japanese "Deep Mountain" bomber took off on the underground river 1,200 meters underground, flew over the underground dam, glides into the huge underground cavity beyond the dam, and disappeared in that infinite area. In the darkness of the edge.None of us knew what the "Deep Mountain" would encounter in the dark, or what the pilots on board would see. This kind of thing alone has exceeded my acceptance level, and now we even discovered that in that darkness, there was a mysterious telegram sent out.This is really unbelievable.

Immediately, I thought of the large amount of airborne bundled goods and supplies piled up here, and I immediately understood where these things were going to be transported. The entire base here, and all the arrangements, are obviously made to parachute people into this huge underground cavity.Moreover, if Japan is not defeated, such airborne activities will be carried out countless times until all the materials in this warehouse are airdropped. Old Tang said that this discovery was really shocking, so they needed to verify it. They went down to the dam just to find this antenna.If so, the matter is of a different nature altogether.I asked them if they found that antenna?Old Tang shook his head and said that not yet, because they couldn't go down to the bottom of the dam, so they came here to find the way to continue down.

Going on, what kind of concept is this is self-evident. Twenty years ago, the Japanese would have thought of similar questions.When they first see this nothingness, they must ask themselves: what is this place, what is in it, and how to get down? Now we're in a situation where it's clearly saying that they should have addressed the last query and sent a message back. At this time, I already have a very clear concept of what happened here in my mind.Twenty years ago, the Japanese discovered and carried out a large number of infrastructure improvements here, and successfully used strategic bombers to carry out airdrops.Although the bomber crashed during the final landing process, the whole process can already be described as crazy.

I can even guess a lot of details.For example, the crashed "deep mountain" will certainly not be the first aircraft to fly into the abyss. In order to test the feasibility, the wreckage of the small fighter jet we found underwater must be the first choice for the flight feasibility test .Japan has quite mature aircraft carrier technology, and flying a fighter jet here is much simpler than a giant bomber. I asked Old Tang about his plans for the future, and he told us his plans. I am different from Old Tang and the others. Engineers must be rigorous, so they have to verify something so that their reports are 100% correct.This is the working principle instructed by Chairman Mao back then. Engineers are always in front of the army, digging mountains and paving roads, and building bridges when encountering rivers. Any mistakes may lead to the revealing of strategic intentions, so no matter what they do, they must be rigorous.

So Lao Tang told us that they must be absolutely sure that the signal is sent from the abyss, and only when the facts are true can they draw this conclusion, otherwise it will bring great misleading to the organization. The search and rescue work must also continue. We don't know the situation outside the dam, and too specific plans are useless.The work of searching the dam will be completed by the engineering soldiers. Our exploration team should not be separated. The work of the exploration team has been completed. I thought to myself that the mission of the geological prospecting team was over long ago, and there must not be an oil lake of hundreds of thousands of hectares under this nothingness.The activities of the Japanese here obviously have little to do with the exploration of geological resources. From the moment we entered this underground river, our mission has actually ended.

There is nothing wrong with saying this, indeed we can no longer intervene in the next thing, we have no way to move forward, and we have no place to retreat. So there was no objection, and the old cat didn't express his opinion. He drank tea silently and listened to us.Looking at his expression, it seems that what we are talking about is ridiculous. I didn't care about it at the time, and I didn't expect that soon after, I felt the same way myself. Shocked like a nightmare, I fell asleep.Under such stimulation, I inevitably had a long dream. In the dream, the huge nothingness was like a huge mouth, and I stood on the top of the dam and saw it spread towards me against the strong wind.The surrounding rock walls were slowly corroded by the seemingly endless darkness.I also dreamed that I was sitting on a plane, flying aimlessly in nothingness, with nothing around me, and no matter how I flew, I couldn’t reach the end.

This kind of panic was more terrifying than the first one, but I didn't wake up because of it. I slept for ten hours until it was time to eat, and I was woken up by Wang Sichuan. Old Tang and the others have already taken people out, and the old cat has also left.I have already predicted that even if we don't move, the old cat will definitely follow the engineer, because he must have other identities, otherwise it would be impossible to force Rong Patriotic to send an assault boat to rescue us. My intuition tells me that everything here is beyond my comprehension, and I don't want to think about any part of it anymore.

While eating, I listened to Pei Qing and Wang Sichuan talking about the dam.They were guessing what was going on with the ice cellar here. We only have a vague understanding of the structure of the entire dam, especially this kind of dam used for special purposes. We have no idea what some facilities are used for here, and naturally we have no way of guessing the possible structure. The only thing that is clear now is that there are submerged caissons on both sides of the dam to transport supplies. Below the water level of the dam is a huge ice cellar with a large number of shells frozen and a hoisting warehouse stocked with a large amount of supplies.

Wang Sichuan said to us while eating vegetable puree: "I feel that the place where we are should already be the bottom of the dam. Because if these large-caliber warheads are used to blow up the dam at the last time, then they should be placed in the bottom of the dam. The bottom of the dam, so that when it explodes, it can ensure that the part above the dam foundation is completely destroyed." However, what is incomprehensible is why all these warheads should be frozen?Only nitroglycerin needs to be frozen, but nitroglycerin cannot be used to make shells. The high temperature will definitely cause the warhead to explode faster than the shell shell when it is discharged, and the danger of transportation is too great.

Speaking of which, there seems to be only one kind of thing that needs to be stored at low temperature, and that is the bacterial warhead. There are quite a lot of historical records about the germ warfare of the Japanese devils in China, but most ordinary people only know about 731. Only a small number of people, such as those of us who often drill holes in the forest for geological exploration, know that 731 is just the tip of the iceberg.In the course of decades of geological exploration, we have discovered a large number of cement buildings left over from the Japanese invasion of China in the deep jungle of Northeast China.These buildings have basically been completely burned, but from the architectural structure, there are traces of dungeons and dissection rooms.A comrade-in-arms of mine once told me that the scale of germ warfare is definitely not limited to this in China.

The outside is unlikely to be a bacterial bomb, which has nothing to do with the environment here. The Japanese explored this area with a clear purpose and would not pile up a bunch of bacterial weapons here for no reason.What the hell are these warheads for? I had a thought at the time: what if these compressors stop working?Although the temperature here is very low, these ice cubes will gradually melt, so what will happen to the warhead? Obviously no one can guess. Old Tang took people out, the ice cellar outside should not be very big, I can hear some big movements, and people come back from time to time.These recruits were so cold that their noses were running straight, and they really looked like children at this time. Waiting was quite boring, we chatted for a while, Wang Sichuan couldn't sit still, and yelled at us to go out and have a look. We wrapped our coats tightly, walked outside into the ice cellar, and walked in the direction of the sound.After walking a dozen steps, I felt something was wrong. It seemed to be getting colder here. There was frost on my eyebrows. It was not so cold earlier. We rubbed our hands and stomped our feet, feeling like the white hair wind blowing in Daxing'an Mountains in winter. Soon we saw a figure in front of us. As we walked over, we saw Old Tang yelling something while stamping his feet. His voice became louder and louder, as if he was smash something. This is the middle of the ice cellar, we approached and immediately saw what they were doing, they were making holes in the ice. A few soldiers were holding up simple tools and smashing the ice hard, but it didn't seem to have much effect. There were no deep depressions on the ground, only large pieces of crushed ice. I felt a little dangerous, there was a bomb below, and I didn't know what Old Tang's intention was, so I walked up to him, told him to be careful, and asked him what he was doing? He was so cold that his mouth was purple, and shivering, he showed me a large shadow under the ice surface, because the ice surface had been smashed with pits and holes, it was hard to see what it was, but it was definitely not a warhead.This warhead is huge. After walking around the shadow, I recognized it, and couldn't help but take another breath—the shape of the shadow is like a huge paper clip.But it is not solid, and you can see a lot of U-shaped protrusions around the paper clip. I recognize the shape, it's a large transmitting antenna. Although I knew that this thing must exist, I was also confused at the time. I wondered how this thing could be frozen in ice? If you look carefully, there is more than that. Outside the black shadow of the antenna, there is another huge and relatively light shadow, which should be something buried deeper in the ice layer.This shadow is three times the size of the antenna, and it looks like a huge colander-like disc. "What the hell is this?" I asked Old Tang tremblingly, "Is it the antenna you are looking for? How could it be in the ice?" "This is not an antenna." Old Tang pointed to the U-shaped protrusions on several corners, "This thing has a nickname, it's called the 'Giant of Welzburg'." "What?" I was cold and surprised, stunned for a moment, "What giant?" Old Tang said it was a bit difficult to explain these things to me. He was very familiar with these things, but to explain them clearly to me, he had to talk about technology.Anyway, to put it simply, "Wilzburg Giant" is a nickname. It is a tracking radar imported by the Japanese from Germany. It is mainly used to automatically control searchlights during night air defense.The Japanese do not need such advanced night tracking technology in China, so there are not many of these radars, and most of them are deployed in Mongolia and the Pacific battlefield.China initially tried unsuccessfully to imitate the radar, and the technology has since been phased out. At that time, this radar should be the most advanced tracking equipment. This is the knowledge they popularized when they set up the radar station. Later, the radar soldiers became independent from the Corps of Engineers and became a specialized radar force. Old Tang said that they found this huge shadow when they were searching the ice cellar. He was surprised, but the shadow should not be as big as we see it now. The illusion of this size is due to the ice around the plate and the outer ring. due to the difference in density of ice. They believed that this radar should be the backup navigation radar at that time. Indeed, such a difficult flight mission required precise navigation. I heard a general idea, and Wang Sichuan asked, what do you want to dig it out for?Could this have something to do with that telegram? Old Tang Dao was not just because of this, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which he drew a few rough figures with a pencil, and said that they were divided into several groups to search here, and one group was led by the old cat. , Search around the hoisting warehouse, where such a huge "deep mountain" is installed, there must be a huge lifting device leading to it.His team searched the ice cellar, looking for the brakes of the caissons I mentioned, and at the same time made a preliminary understanding of the ice cellar. The few graphics are the floor plan of the ice cellar they drew. The engineer soldiers all have the ability to draw, and even a few of them show his professionalism.The surrounding compressors and wiring diagrams are marked, but what I'm more interested in is that they map the distribution of shadows under the ice. Old Tang pointed to several places with a pencil and said, "The cannonballs you mentioned are distributed around the ice cellar in a ring, and there are a lot of them, and in the center is the 'Giant of Welzburg' we found. Look at this The very light lines on the side, these shadows about the thickness of arms like ladders, are the sliding rails of the "Wilzburg Giant"; at the same time, we found four more liberation truck heads on the side of the "Wilzburg Giant" This should be the two sets of searchlights matching the 'Wilzburg Giant'." I nodded, and he continued: "Don't you think it's very strange? A radar navigation system is placed in the middle of a pile of bombs. What does that mean?" I was completely frozen and couldn't think. He sneezed and said, "Could it be a trick?" After Wang Sichuan said this sentence, I immediately understood what he wanted to say.But if this is the case, this matter is even more unbelievable. The so-called trap, which can be understood without explanation, is a trap with an attraction.Wang Sichuan said that this situation is similar to that of engineering soldiers planting landmines. They make a false target and plant mines around it to attract the enemy. All the shells here have their core caps removed and are in an excited state, which is indeed a bit similar; but what is the use of the radar in the middle? Is this "bait"?I can't imagine what the radar can attract. This is the navigation radar. Did they finally want to crash their plane into the dam and destroy this water conservancy project? This has no logic at all, why would the devil do this? It was too cold, we couldn't hold on anymore, Old Tang asked us to go back, if we really want to help, we can help Lao Mao. We returned to the resting place, drank a few sips of hot water and didn't want to go anywhere. I felt more and more uneasy. I suddenly began to wonder why the Japanese abandoned this place. Is it really as simple as we think? There is no sign of military damage in the entire underground system. Obviously, they retreated in a very orderly manner. A large amount of materials were piled up here, that is, there was no explosion, and there was no sign that even the documents were burned. We saw the dead body of a pilot in "Deep Mountain", which was badly damaged, but what about the rest of the crew?And why was that body left in the cabin? I don't know if it's the cold outside penetrating into the warehouse, or my thoughts make me uncomfortable, I continue to fight, and I can't stop it. That feeling is still fresh in my memory. It was not fear, but the shock and trembling that came out of countless discoveries before. What flashed through my mind was, could it be that the base had been abandoned when "Deep Mountain" returned? When I think of this, the expression on my face must be very strange, making both Wang Sichuan and Pei Qing look up at me.Wang Sichuan thought I was not feeling well, and asked me if it would be more appropriate to sleep again. The body is the capital of the revolution, so don't suffer hard. I shook my head and asked them: "You tell me, how long did it take for that 'Deep Mountain' to fly in that abyss?" What does Wang Sichuan mean by asking me?I wonder if there is such a possibility that this "Deep Mountain" crashed by relying on the ability of the pilot to make an forced landing.That's why the pilot's body was left in the wreckage of the plane, and the surviving crew members left by themselves, missing. When I said it, I didn't know about the cruise capability of "Deep Mountain". Afterwards, I checked: "Deep Mountain" can fly at full speed and can cruise for ten to fourteen hours. With such a huge underground fortress, it would take at least hundreds of hours to completely evacuate. When "Deep Mountain" returned to its voyage, they could not completely evacuate no matter how quickly.So my thinking should be very unlikely. But no one thought of these details.Wang Sichuan said it made sense.Pei Qing said to me: "It doesn't look like there is any emergency here. They didn't even dismantle the transmitter, and the code books are all there. This is more calm than a forced landing." It felt as if it was not the evacuation, but the entire fortress, who suddenly disappeared. Old Tang also mentioned this concept. When they came here, they found many documents covered with canvas. Obviously, the Japanese did not think about not coming back from now on. It seemed that they were just preparing for a temporary handover.But obviously, after they left, they never came back. Something must have happened here that we can't imagine. This underground fortress was definitely in a state that we couldn't speculate in the last ten hours.And all this should have started to happen after "Deep Mountain" flew into that abyss. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't understand it, so I stood up and looked at the sand table again, trying to find some clues from it.At this time, Wang Sichuan suddenly hummed, raised his head, and looked around.I was also infected by him and looked up, only to find that he was not looking, but listening. In a place quite far above our heads, the air defense siren sounded again.Indoors, the alarm sounds dull and light, and if you don't listen carefully, it can easily be confused with the sound of the exhaust fan. Pei Qing looked at his watch, the alarm sounded continuously for a long time, then stopped abruptly. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Three minutes of beeping, this is the frequency at which the alarm is lifted." I felt relieved and said Amitabha, it seems that the situation above has improved.Before he finished thinking, there was a huge movement of the machine running from the depths of the surrounding walls, rolling up and down. We were wondering what happened, a few soldiers came out from the depths of the warehouse excitedly, and told us the good news, the flood discharge of the dam is over, and the flood water from the heavy rain upstream has all discharged into the abyss , I believe that the dense fog will recede below the cordon soon.We can find a way to go back. Just as Wang Sichuan wanted to ask them how they knew, something happened on the other side. A few soldiers from the ice cellar came in carrying something from Old Tang, and shouted for help. The thing was so heavy that the four of them could barely drag it on the ground.We went up immediately and saw that it was a lump of ice, the size of a coffin.Wang Sichuan yelled, "I'm coming." He went up and gritted his teeth to lift the thing off the ground.Pei Qing and I went up, and the soldier over there yelled, no, no, we've had enough, there's more to come! Immediately, someone lifted a lump of ice out of the ice cellar. I called other people to go up, gritted my teeth to hold it up, and felt that it was not as heavy as usual.Then I saw something frozen in the ice. When I lifted it inside and put it down, I felt that my feet were shortened a bit. I asked them what they had dug up, and the soldiers turned over the ice for me to see. The dead man in the ice folded his arms, his face was haggard, his eyes were tightly closed, and he could tell at a glance that he died after being unconscious at low temperature.Under the irregular ice surface, the face was somewhat distorted, and the upper body of the corpse was covered with a coat. It could be seen that the corpse was small and seemed to be underage.
