C46

In the dark underground, the mining lamp's flickering light made Zhu Yingqiong's face look extremely pale in contrast. However, when she heard the two words "mine," she kept her body in a fixed position, looking relatively calm.

My entire body couldn't help but tremble and cold sweat instantly covered my forehead. I never expected to meet a weapon with such great destructive power like a mine.

I once heard from Fourth Uncle that in the chaotic regions of Myanmar and Viet Nam, warlords are separated and the ground is often covered with mines.

But none of us thought that the Sakyamuni Army would actually install mines under the ground. Fuck, are we going to bomb outsiders or the monsters inside the stone walls?

I have never been a soldier, nor do I have such knowledge. Being able to barely recognize the mines is already something the Fourth Uncle gave me at that time.

I nervously swallowed my saliva and said to Zhu Yingqiong: "Calm down and don't move recklessly, I'm thinking of a way."

However, Zhu Yingqiong said, "There definitely isn't just one mine underground. Furthermore, it could be a chain of lightning that easily detonates.

Swish!

Before she could finish speaking, when Duan Hui, who was at the side, heard the three words "chain thunder", he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

I was already used to this fellow's selfish character, so I immediately loosened the corner of Zhu Yingqiong's pants and slowly dug around with my hands to open up a 3 metre wide hole. As expected, I saw that there were still 7 or 8 mines hidden underneath the mud, if Zhu Yingqiong had not reminded me, I would have been hit by them too.

Zhu Yingqiong maintained her position and did not dare to move. With a slightly trembling voice, she asked, "Chen San, do you want to carefully look at this Japanese or our own mine?"

I stared. "How?"

Zhu Yingqiong said: "There is only one type of Japanese mines. There are many types of mines in China, iron mines, stone mines, chain mines, etc. These mines are very easy to remove, as long as you can find the needles on top of the gunpowder."

When I heard that, I hastily waved my hands and said, "You should still talk about Japanese mines."

Zhu Yingqiong muttered to herself, "Go along the edge of the mines and avoid the pipes, and see if there are any corpses under the mines!"

I was momentarily stunned, I didn't understand what Zhu Yingqiong meant by that, but I knew that this wasn't the time to ask, so I could only do as she said. As expected, I dug a bit deeper into the ground along the path she had stepped on, and the dense bones were immediately revealed, probably on the back of a corpse.

I then dug out the soil underneath the other mines. The situation was the same, there was a skeleton underneath every mines, Zhu Yingqiong's face immediately darkened, after being silent for a moment she said: "This is a Japanese 93rd Type Anti-Tank Mine!"

Zhu Yingqiong had received all kinds of training from Charles since she was young, so it was normal for him to know all of these, but I have never come into contact with them before. It's like listening to books on the heavens, after a long period of time, I have scoured the internet for the '93rd Armored Anti-Tank Mines'.

The so-called anti-tank mine was a type of mine specially designed to destroy or destroy tanks and armoured vehicles. It was extremely powerful and could even destroy tanks, let alone humans.

Because this type of mine was specifically used to destroy tanks and armoured vehicles, there were even more explosives inside. They had to be stepped on by a force of more than 180 kg in order to trigger the fuse, and to cause a mine explosion, the vehicles would have to press on them to trigger.

After the Japanese Army had been improved, it had become a Type 93 Anti-Tank Mine, which was used in large amounts of human flesh bombs. It was to install this type of mine on the bodies of soldiers or captives, and then kill oneself and charge into the enemy's camp, causing an explosion.

Back in the day, when Japanese Army was fighting with American forces on Sulfur Island, they had used this kind of human explosive package to blow up American tanks and armoured vehicles. Furthermore, the difference between it and the mines was that the human explosive package could automatically find the enemy, which was very consistent with the characteristics of Japanese Army.

Every single mine under our feet has a skeleton under them, which means that this is the explosion package for Japanese Army. Each mine under our feet has a radius of about nine meters, and with so many explosion packages under our feet, it will cause a chain reaction, and at that time, the entire tunnel might collapse.

It was hard to imagine, why did the Japanese Army do this back then?

Were these powder packs meant to keep things from rushing out from behind the stone walls?

What exactly did they encounter behind the underground stone wall?

I couldn't believe it, so I asked Zhu Yingqiong: "How do I remove it?"

Zhu Yingqiong shook her head with a pale face: "There's no way to remove it. The Japanese used it as a suicide attack that simply cannot be removed. Chen San, you can leave.

I angrily said, "What kind of words are those? As I said before, I will never abandon my friends. Quickly think of a way to dismantle it, I think the modern mines in the movies and TV dramas can be removed. I don't believe that this product from decades ago will be even more high-end than the one we have now! "

Zhu Yingqiong took a deep breath, she stared at me with shining eyes, and sighed: "I'm getting more and more unable to understand you, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid, why not?"

I placed the light of the mine lamp on the mine and observed it as I said, "I'm more afraid of death than anyone else, but I'm more afraid of the people around me dying before me. I can see the leads below."

Zhu Yingqiong said in a speechless manner, "The moment the lead wire is pulled, it would explode. Look closely next to the lead wire, and see if there is any hit needles. The hit needles are usually connected to the iron shell above the gunpowder, and as long as you can find the hit needles, you might still have a chance of survival!"

"Alright, I'll give it a try!"

I prostrated my body and carefully looked at the structure of the mine. My head was covered in cold sweat, if I said that I was not nervous, it would be fake. With just a slight touch, Zhu Yingqiong and I would be smashed into smithereens.

It turned out that the human bones underneath the mines couldn't bear the weight and actually made a cracking sound. I believed that in a few minutes, the bones would shatter and Zhu Yingqiong would lose her balance, heavily stepping on the mines which would trigger the explosion.

What should he do?

I hastily wiped the sweat that was flowing into my eyes, then went closer to the landmine by about three centimeters, my forehead almost touched Zhu Yingqiong's shoes. When I squinted my eyes, as expected, I saw a fine needle that was as thin as a strand of hair hidden behind the lead wire.

"What should I do next after seeing the needle?"

I asked excitedly. Zhu Yingqiong immediately followed: "If there's a needle, we can confirm that this is a mechanical device mine. It cannot be removed, but we can use a lightning rod to move the needle counterclockwise for half a circle."

I thought to myself, where the f * ck did I get a lightning rod? His fingers were too thick to reach in, looking around, he suddenly spotted Duan Hui who was hiding more than ten metres behind, and anxiously shouted: "Duan Hui, come over and help!"

Duan Hui shook his head and waved his hand, he was unwilling to come over no matter what, I endured my impatience and said: "Give me your glasses."

Duan Hui pondered for a moment, and in the end, gritted his teeth as he took off his glasses and threw them over. I picked up the glasses and moved the corner of the glasses to the side of the mine and asked: "Can I remove it after moving the needles?"

Zhu Yingqiong shook her head: "There's no way to dismantle it, but it can be delayed by six to seven seconds. We have to use these few seconds to rush out of the explosion area."

"Six to seven seconds?"

I couldn't help but look behind me. Then I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and stuck my glasses in.

The process was extremely slow, and I had to remain highly focused. It took me more than a minute to get the glass stand to the firing pin, then I grabbed my glasses and pushed them counterclockwise.

Crack!

An extremely soft voice came out, causing me to be stunned in place. Zhu Yingqiong's chest rose and fell as she panted heavily, before carefully lifting her feet up.

The moment her foot left the mine, the two of us dashed backwards at the same time. Within five seconds of life and death, we covered a distance of over ten meters in just a matter of minutes. Behind us, there was a loud explosion, and I felt the ground shake.

"Get down!"

Zhu Yingqiong bellowed, and we fell on the ground and rolled a few rounds out at the same time. The loud sound was deafening, and after a few explosions, the entire ground shook continuously, I saw falling stones rolling down from both sides of the mountain, and after the dust and dirt had scattered, I felt as though I was being buried alive. My body was covered with mud, and my ears were buzzing.

Behind us, the ground crumbled, and boulders tumbled down and completely sealed off the intersection. Even the stone wall was blocked behind us, and I could see that the stone wall was broken, revealing a dark space behind it. However, there were countless boulders between them, making it impossible for us to pass through.

After continuing for five or six minutes, my ears gradually recovered. Turning my head to look at Zhu Yingqiong, I saw that her beautiful face was covered in mud, making her look like a big black face. I guessed that my situation was not much better than hers, but seeing that we were still alive, we couldn't help but smile at each other.

The joy of narrowly escaping death filled my heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhu Yingqiong was extremely familiar with Japanese mines, I was afraid that we would both have died here.

Duan Hui was far away, and nothing happened. He brushed off the soil on his body and shouted to us excitedly: "This is too awesome! This time, the road has been completely destroyed, even if you want to enter, you will not be able to get in."

The meaning behind his words was for us to leave as soon as possible. I chuckled and said, "Who said there's no other way? Looking for that pipe is another way!"

The pipe we had seen earlier was buried under the soil, and it was so wide that even a van could pass through it. I don't know why the Japanese buried a pipe down there, but it certainly worked, and it would work, and it would work if we could find the entrance to the pipe and move on.

Zhu Yingqiong's thoughts were pretty much the same as mine. We left the mine area and returned to the Gravel Beach by the dark river. We heard the sound of dripping water from the previous pipe, so it might be somewhere nearby.

After half an hour, Zhu Yingqiong was the first to notice something. At the fork in the road at the left of the dark river, she discovered a huge crack that was about the size of a Liberation truck, with barbed wire fences on both sides of it.

It can be seen that there was a road outside the Crack Mouth before, but after dozens of years of change, the road no longer existed, and the Dark River have grown a lot, so if we didn't know the pipe, we wouldn't have found this place, because no one would deliberately go down the dark river to look for this cave entrance.

One by one, the three of us climbed up to the entrance of the cave. With the flashlight, we could clearly see the traces of manmade digging, and the stone steps slanted downwards. When we passed through the stone steps, the ground became much calmer, and after ten minutes of walking, a broken iron bridge suddenly appeared in front of us.

The bridge had been blown up, leaving only the two pieces of rusty steel wire rope that were still attached to the sides. It should have been intentionally blown up by the Japanese.

But what surprised us all was that on the other side of the broken bridge, we saw the enormous pipe embedded in the crack. Strangely enough, at the opening of the pipe was a pair of iron doors with iron chains that locked them in place.

The words on the metal door were actually written in Chinese. Although they were written in them for a long time, they could still be seen clearly. There were four big words in total, but when we saw them clearly, our faces turned pale.
