Chapter 50 49. Control room

They are all soldiers, and the instructors will remind them countless times before shooting targets that the muzzle of the gun should not be pointed at people, and they have all heard of killing people by going off. Even if the gun is empty, if the firing pin inside is ejected, it will be lethal. .So looking at the black muzzle of the gun, I suddenly felt extremely glaring, immediately blocked it with my hand, and said to him at the same time: "What's the matter? Put the gun down, don't wait for it to go off and kill me." He didn't care at all, "It's okay, I unloaded the bullet and put the safety on." He handed me the gun head as he said.

I grabbed the end of the gun and saw that the magazine was indeed gone. I wondered in my heart, wondering when did he unload it, and how quickly he moved.So I asked him: "What can I help? What do you want to do? Seeing the antenna will kill you? This thing can't take us out." He untied his armed belt again, tied it to the shoulder strap of his rifle, and said, "Commander Tang and the others said that they came here to find this antenna. If they took the same road as us, they would definitely find this antenna too. They I will definitely crawl over to check. If they are not going the same way as us, I will check first, and we can go back directly after we find them, and there is no need to do it again."

I thought it made sense, and he continued: "Besides, we are engineers, and of course we are better than you in terms of knowledge, but only we know the details of some engineering erections. When I look at the layout of the antenna, I may be able to guess it." Company Commander Tang may not be sure where he is now." Seeing what he said so confidently and his clever performance in the past, I felt that it was reliable. At this time, Wang Sichuan also jumped over, came to my side, and asked me what I was doing?What's so interesting about this place? I explained to him that Ma Zaihai had already tied one end of the armed belt to his belt, and then let me grab the barrel of the gun, and began to crawl towards the bottom of the protruding concrete pile of the antenna and the outer wall of the dam.The concrete pile is like an irregular bowl buckled on the vertical wall of the dam. The angle of the antenna piercing gradually becomes difficult to settle down with the extension of the arc, so the lower you go, the harder it is to climb. After reaching a certain angle, it means that the half of your body has to hang up in the air.

Fortunately, Ma Zaihai is very flexible. There are only a few places where I need to grab the barrel of the gun and lift him up to let him swing by. Soon he reached a position that we can't see. After a while, he yelled "Yes!" It's gone!", followed by the sound of something hitting the antenna. After knocking for a while, he asked us to climb down too. I pulled it, and the other end seemed to be fixed by him, so I stuck the gun on the antenna beside me, and climbed down along the gun belt and armed belt.Wang Sichuan followed closely behind. Only about ten meters after going down, you can see the wet cave rock, which was washed as if it was waxed. I didn’t have time to observe carefully. I only saw a one-meter-long line at the junction of the bowl-shaped concrete package and the outer wall of the dam. Long and wide square windows.Cables protrude from the concrete pack and lead into small windows.The arming belt on one side is tied to the cable.

Ma Zaihai huddled in the small window and said to us: "The telegraph room is behind this." "Isn't the telegraph room in the cave that Old Tang discovered?" Wang Sichuan asked. "I looked at that machine. It is too small. It is definitely not the transmitter in the main transmitter room. It is impossible to keep the transmitter and antenna so far apart in engineering. Once a battle occurs, the cable is likely to be cut. The main transmitter room It must be near the antenna." He said, "In the design of the underground bunker, apart from the main computer room, the small telegraph will be set up as a temporary command post, so the cave that Company Commander Tang and the others found should be a temporary command post. It will only be used here—when the dam is conquered, and usually send and receive telegrams, and they should all be in the main transmitter room."

"You boy, why didn't you say that just now?" Wang Sichuan said. "Let's be honest. Company Commander Tang said he was looking for an antenna. In fact, I feel that what he is really looking for is the chief telegraph office. He is much more experienced than me, so he doesn't need my reminder." Ma Zaihai shrank into the window Go, make room for me, and I crawl over. "I have already found a telegraph office, and it has been confirmed that the telegram was sent from that telegraph machine. Why are you still looking here?" I asked. "I'm not sure, but under normal circumstances, the main dispatch room is actually the general headquarters." He said, "It may have something to do with this."

While talking, I squeezed into the small window, which is not too small, but there are a lot of cables in it, which are unevenly distributed in the long and narrow space, so it looks cramped.Each cable is as thick as a wrist, twisted together like monster tentacles.Wang Sichuan yelled at us to be careful not to get an electric shock. Climbing five or six meters inside will lead to the end. At the end is a wall with a cable hole through which the cable enters, and the gap is sealed by cement.Ma Zaihai said that we are now in the external maintenance passage, and the inside is the internal maintenance passage. This wall is the first sealing wall. This should be because there is a problem with the external air here.

I said, don't give us an engineering class, there is a wall here, can't we get through it? Ma Zaihai didn't say much, picked up his water bottle and began to smash the wall, and soon the wall cracked: "For the convenience of maintenance, this kind of partition wall is usually poured with lime. It looks very solid, but it can be used as nails Pull it apart, at most there is a layer of barbed wire inside, just cut it open." Then, the wall was knocked through, "There is no barbed wire here, there must be no mice in the fortress." It took us more than ten minutes to expand the breach to a passable size, continue to go deeper, and broke down two identical separation walls in the same way.There are air vents for ventilation between the partition walls to prevent the accumulation of poisonous gas. Like the caissons, they are very narrow and cannot allow people to enter.

Finally, we entered the end of the cable channel, where all the cables began to pass into the cable iron boxes one by one, and then turned into small wires and went out downwards.Ma Zaihai pointed to the iron cover under his body, grabbed the cable on one side, and kicked hard a few times, the iron cover broke open. After turning down, it was pitch black below. I took a flashlight and found that we were in the ceiling of a certain room. There were several chairs and tables underneath, and there were piles of things on it. Ma Zaihai jumped down, took a look around and found nothing, Wang Sichuan and I also jumped down, looking around, this room is very different from the room we saw all the way.

It was a square room, about the size of a basketball court, with things on all sides. At first glance, I saw a row of huge old instruments. They were all iron boxes taller than a person. They were full of red, green and green indicator lights and electric switches. They were very solid and huge. They were placed against the walls on all sides, and the iron sheets had already disappeared It is rusty, but compared to the rusty mechanical parts outside, the rust here is very slight.Now it seems that these iron box instruments have been treated with antirust. There is a huge iron plate hanging on one of the walls, on which a cross-section of the entire dam is printed with lines of various colors, but the picture is very simple, with icons and many indicator lights on the picture.On the iron box under the iron plate, there are many more buttons than other iron boxes, like a console.

In the middle of the room, there are four long writing desks, on which are neatly placed phones and piles of documents, thickly covered with dust. The reason why I feel that it is very different from the rooms I saw along the way is because there are sophisticated instruments here, unlike the large machinery and concrete parts I saw along the way, whether it is cold storage or warehouses, cable channels, this place is finally like a technician It's time to stay in the area. I asked Ma Zaihai, what are these things used for, and Ma Zaihai explained to us one by one.He said that the large iron box should be the equipment for controlling the dam. The iron box is full of Japanese. Generator control.The cross-section of the dam on this side should have the control of the internal pipelines of the dam. These diodes represent the closing and opening of the pipelines. However, there are too many things involved in the entire dam. He can’t say what kind of pipelines these are. come out. In short, he knew what these things were, but he didn't know how to use them. What was certain was that this was the control room of the dam, at least one of the control rooms. Surprisingly, we didn't see the expected transmitter, nor did we find that there was a door leading to other places in this room, which seemed to be sealed. Ma Zaihai shined the flashlight on the ceiling to see where the wires were going, from the ceiling to the wall, then from the wall to the ground, and finally pointed to an iron plate on the ground with a wrist-thick bolt, and turned it over.The iron plate turned out to be a very thick overturned door, and a vertical ladder appeared below it, as if there was another room underneath. "The hidden flap door, even if you conquer this place, it will take a long time to find this control room." Ma Zaikai said, "Japanese military buildings are like this." At first glance, the room below seemed to be nothing strange. I was still thinking about other things, and I was about to make a quick decision, so I was about to go down. Wang Sichuan on the side stopped me: "Wait, wait, there is a situation." "What's going on?" I asked. Wang Sichuan on the side was very interested in the dam profile on the iron plate, pointing and asking: "Look, do the two vertical lights on the two corners of the dam represent the caisson we came down from? " Ma Zaihai followed the trend and saw that the two indicator lights were bigger than the others, and the color was also different from the others. He took a breath and nodded: "Yes, it should be." "So, the switch that controls the caisson should also be here?" he said. My heart skipped a beat, knowing what he was thinking of. Wang Sichuan walked over and used a flashlight to shine on the densely packed buttons on the iron box instrument.There were labels for Japan under each button, but I knew that wasn't what he was looking for.After he got close to those buttons, he waved at me. I looked over and found that it was very obvious that the traces of dust being wiped off on these buttons were very obvious and fresh, as if someone had used them not long ago. "Interesting." Wang Sichuan said. "Are there any Japanese here?" Wang Sichuan thought about what happened to us in the caisson. There is no operating device in the caisson. After we entered the caisson, who activated the caisson to let us descend to the bottom of the dam?I don't think it was done by the remaining Japanese soldiers, first, we didn't see any traces of life along the way; second, the place is full of dust, and the dust on this operation panel was wiped off afterwards, obviously not There are often activities. I explained to him: "It seems that a person came here recently, and then pressed a button to operate something." I looked at the ground and should have been able to see footprints, but now that we're walking around we can't make out anything. Wang Sichuan thought about it and found it reasonable: "Who could it be? He must have arrived before us. Could it be the woman from the last batch of exploration teams that we haven't found yet?" "For the time being, I can only assume it's her." I said, "I really can't think of any other possibility." Ma Zaihai said: "No, we can come in from the outside because the partition wall was smashed down. Apart from the cable entrance, there is only this overturned door that can be entered and exited here. Then this person should have come all the way up from below. Too likely to find it here by luck, unless the person had prior knowledge of the structure of the dam." Indeed, I continued to analyze: "After she arrived here, she may have found the control instrument by means of this iron plate, swept away the dust on the instrument panel, and found the button to control the caisson after reading those labels. She knew the control instrument under the iron plate. The machines could control the caissons, so instead of looking for one by one, we swept the dust to find which button to activate and deactivate—details that told us she must have followed some kind of guidance, purposeful but unfamiliar with the details. " "It seems that no matter who this person is, there must be something wrong with his background, maybe he is a Japanese spy." I said, "Someone in the first exploration team was shot dead, and this spy may have done it. Their exploration mission The failure of the attack may also be the cause of sabotage by enemy agents." All three nodded, and Wang Sichuan said, "This woman's whereabouts are unknown. Now we have found traces of her activities. Maybe she is nearby. Wouldn't it be easy for us to meet her?" Ma Zaihai's gun was still hanging outside, I said we should bring it back for self-defense, Ma Zaihai said that we are not sure we can go out now, if we can't get out, we still have to go back the same way.It would be hard to climb back here if I got the gun back, so I gave up.Wang Sichuan said that we have to be more careful now. Continuing to search, Ma Zaihai climbed down the ladder first, and we went down after making sure that there was no one below. Below is a room that is almost twice as large as the top. Near the outer wall of the dam are six telegraph machines, on which telegraphs are still piled up messily. document. This should be the command center of the dam. There is a huge plan of the underground fortress hanging on the wall, which is exactly the same as the one seized by Lao Tang, but even bigger. On one of the long tables against the wall, Wang Sichuan also saw a Microphone, it should be a radio station. "The Japanese Emperor's Surrender Letter should have been read aloud here. After reading it, he began to retreat." Wang Sichuan said, trying to get Ma Zaihai to start the broadcast, but after a long time of tuning, even the power light did not turn on. Came completely broken. After I got down, I deliberately told them not to move around, and sure enough, I saw messy footprints on the ground, leading to two directions. When I flashed the flashlight, there was a double iron door on one side, and a dark green wooden door on the other. The double iron door is obviously an explosion-proof sealed door, and the outside should lead to other places. I don't know where it is behind the wooden door. Could it be a toilet? We walked over and opened the wooden door, which turned out to be an office. The whole room is dusty, and the furnishings and decorations are very simple. Obviously, the Japanese soldiers at that time did not have the intention to decorate their offices. On the wall, there are traces of the original hanging ornaments, perhaps Japanese knives.In the corner of the office was a hanger with an unknown type of military uniform covered in dust. There are traces of being turned over in the dust, leaving fingerprints. We followed it all the way and found nothing except a large number of documents. Anti-Japanese War historians or people who understand Japanese may be able to find some clues in it, but we are neither of these, so we have to give up.But according to the fingerprints everywhere, this person should be looking for something aimlessly. Go back to the command post outside and walk towards the iron gate in the other direction. Pushing open the double iron doors, as expected, there is a long corridor outside, completely dark.According to the flashlight, the footprints came and went all the way, obviously there is an exit here.At that time, we didn't think much about it, we were in a hurry to get out, and we followed our footprints into the darkness. Soon after, several forked roads appeared, and all of them had traces of footprints. If we were not sure, we had to go one by one.The first choice was wrong. At the end is a power distribution room, which is full of switchboards.Wang Sichuan asked whether he should try to pull a few, but I said absolutely not, if he turned off some important equipment, such as the compressor of the ice cellar, who knew what the consequences would be. We went back to the forked intersection and walked the second corridor, and soon came to an iron gate, also a three-defense gate, thick as hell.Every space here can become a bunker that is difficult to conquer during battle. Wang Sichuan pushed open the iron door, and there was an independent hall inside.As usual, we scanned with a flashlight, and we all let out a surprised sigh. The reason why I took the trouble to explain the process of us finding the right room is because it is so critical, and we were a little scared when we concluded it in the end-if we chose the right way at the three-way intersection, then this The real face hidden in a huge bunker buried underground may never be known to the world. Many times, one choice can change many things. After the iron door, we saw a strange room, which seemed very familiar to me, as if I had seen it not long ago, but I had no idea. On the wall directly in front of the room hung a curtain roughly 5 by 5 centimeters. There were many low seats in the room, and at the back of the room, there was a strange machine standing there. It wasn't until I walked up to the machine that I realized what it was. It was a small film projector—it turned out to be a film projection room. It was only when I had a meeting in a tent on the ground to watch "Film Zero" that I realized that such a small film projector can exist in the world. Could it be that this is the cinema of this underground base, where Japanese soldiers usually carry out entertainment activities? From the present point of view, it may be true, but at that time, it was impossible for the Japanese to have such legitimate entertainment activities in our consciousness. This must be a place to strengthen the militaristic thinking of Japanese soldiers. I was very curious about this small projector, and upon closer inspection, I found that there were heavy scratches on it. Obviously, the person who came in before us also cared about this machine very much.I observed carefully up, down, left, and right, and suddenly found something was wrong. There is a groove on the projector, which seems to hold something. I always feel that this groove is very familiar. This is different from the feeling of deja vu just now, but it makes me have a kind of tension that I have to remember where I have seen it. It feels very critical. Calling Wang Sichuan over, he made a gesture, and the three of them recalled together, and Ma Zaihai immediately remembered: "The iron box! It's the iron box found on the body of the Japanese female soldier!" This happened not long ago. I remember that it was an iron box that looked a bit like a snail shell. When I compared it again, it really was, and suddenly I was enlightened. No way, so the iron box is stuck here. Could it be that it is a part of the projector?I froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that no, no, God, that iron box is the film box of the camera!
