Chapter 445: Deadly Region
Bypassing the machine gun bunker group, Xiao Yuanchao and Ruidi stood in front of a forest full of snow. The woods were deep and dense, with the snow extremely thick, and there was nothing unusual and extremely calm.
But there is extremely dangerousness below this kind of snow surface that looks calm. It can be said that the most vicious way to lay mines is to lay mines in the snow. This terrain makes you almost no possibility of clearing mines, and under the cover of snow, you can't find any trace at all.
"The mine density here is very high, and those who don't know will go and go as long as they step on it." Reddy gently pulled away the snow, allowing Xiao Yuanchao to clearly see the anti-infantry mines in the snow layer.
The mines are sandwiched in the knee-high snow, extremely sensitive, and once they are subjected to any oppression, they will trigger a fuse explosion.
This is a former Soviet PMN-2 anti-infantry mine, but the compression device has become a trip cable device, which has a higher sensitivity, is more unstable, and is more likely to detonate when squeezed by external forces.
"Irregular mine laying, the middle, lower layer, and frozen layer are all covered with landmines. If we want to pass through this minefield, we must think of some solutions." Reddy squatted on the ground and carefully removed the mines.
After removing the mine, he took out a crossbow, tied the tail of the crossbow arrow with his nylon rope, and aimed at a big tree in the distance.
"puff!"
Pulling the trigger, the crossbow arrow rushed forward with a nylon rope like lightning, and nailed it to the trunk of the big tree.
After pulling the nylon rope twice, Reed nodded at Xiao Yuanchao, took out the snowboard he carried with him and placed it flat on the snow surface.
This is the best way to pass through the minefield using the speed of the ski sliding on the snow surface. This is common sense to move forward under the minimum stress by using the friction between the ski and the snow surface.
"Give me the rope, I'll go first." Reddy was about to come to Xiao Yuanchao's rope, and carefully lay on the snowboard and pulled the rope.
“Swishy…”
With the power of pulling the nylon rope, the ski carried Reddy's body forward quickly and soon arrived next to the big tree in front.
No landmines were touched, and the passage was very smooth.
Putting it against the big tree, Reed tied Xiao Yuanchao's rope to the tree, waved at him, and let him pass in the same way.
Xiao Yuanchao immediately put the snowboard on the snow, lay on it and pulled it hard, slid over silently, and met with Ruidi.
"There is a trap in front." Reddy pointed to the snow in front and said: "There is a trap after the minefield, and there is a minefield after the trap. There is not so much snow after the minefield. But there is the real danger, and this is just a small problem."
"What is this place? It's so complicated? What to defend against?" Xiao Yuanchao asked Ruidi.
The minefields are arranged in the snow mezzanine, and I don’t know how many years have existed; there are traps in front of the minefields, which needless to say they are the most dangerous traps. And this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is the flat area after the two minefields and the trap.
"Do you think an army can attack?" Reedi asked Xiao Yuanchao.
"If those machine gun bunker groups were used normally, no army could attack." Xiao Yuanchao made a positive voice without any doubt.
There are minefields and traps in machine gun bunker groups and machine gun bunker groups, and no ground troops can pass through.
"But air power can be done." Xiao Yuanchao said.
"No, air force cannot be achieved either, because there is an anti-aircraft gun fortress hidden in the machine gun bunker group, and no air control force can fly into here. There is also..." Reed looked ahead and said lightly: "All machine gun bunkers are in use. Each machine gun bunker is equipped with a German mg08 Maxim heavy machine gun. Although it is an antique, their power has always been very powerful, right?"
German mg08 Maxim heavy machine gun, the most fierce weapon in Germany during World War I.
Like its Maxim heavy machine gun, Maximg08 uses cooling water to cool the barrel. As long as there is enough water and ammunition, the mg08 machine gun can continue to fire for a long time. In order to ensure such a long time of continuous fire, the ammunition supply tool used by the Maximg08 machine gun is a standard 250 metal chain with a theoretical fire rate of 450 rounds/minute.
In order to reduce the impact of muzzle flame on machine gunners, some Maxim mg08 heavy machine guns used flame blocking plates, and the mg08 heavy machine guns were also equipped with shields.
During the Battle of the Somme, the British and French forces launched an attack on the German positions. This day was July 1, 1916. On this day, a total of 57,000 people fell in front of the Maxim mg08 heavy machine gun position, of which 20,000 died on the spot.
Until Germany surrendered in 1945, there were still a large number of horse mg08 heavy machine guns assembled with German second-line troops.
Antiques do not mean poor lethality. Until now, Maxim heavy machine guns have been nightmarish in many wars.
"Everything is used?" Xiao Yuanchao's pupils contracted.
He thought that all these machine gun bunker groups were abandoned, and he never expected that they would use them all.
"Yes, it's all used." Reedy pointed to the forest in front and said: "There are not only Maxim heavy machine guns, but also Tiger tanks, and various modern weapons. Any country will have to pay the price of bleeding when attacking here. Even if it is attacked with dense tomahawk cruise missiles, it is impossible to destroy the place because more fortifications are hidden underground."
Xiao Yuanchao understood what Reddy meant. He said that these machine gun bunkers and minefields were just the tip of the iceberg of the island's armed protective forces. In addition to these visible ones, there are more and more deadly weapons.
Perhaps these weapons contain poisonous gas bombs and so on, and even have missile launchers.
"Let's go, be careful. I walked out of here when I was very young. Although I still remember it roughly, I forgot many subtleties. I hope it hasn't changed much, otherwise we will die."
Reddy put away the rope and continued to march forward with Xiao Yuanchao.
There was a trap ahead, and Xiao Yuanchao did not see it because Redi took him on a detour.
Bypassing the trap, crossing the minefield and entering the Pingtan area with very little snow. After arriving here, you can almost reach the center of the island and you can clearly see the snow-capped mountains in the center of the island.
It was still dead silent, and there was still no creature. The ground was indeed very small and snow, revealing the frozen ground.
But the frozen ground is not covered with leaves, but skeletons, all full of skeletons. These skeletons are human skeletons. You can see a air-dried skull lying quietly there after a few steps. You can see a complete and twisted human skeleton after walking a few meters.
There are several square kilometers, and this kind of scene is everywhere, making people feel sad.
