After eating and drinking, the three brothers returned to the swamp again to continue the unfinished excavation work. This time, in addition to the engineering shovel, He Tianlei and Shi Quan also brought a water pump. In just one meal, the water in the pit was already gone.

It reached the top of my thighs.

After starting the pump to drain away the turbid mud, the three men continued digging for more than four hours before finally completing the excavation work.

Not only is there an almost intact armored vehicle in this mud pit, but there is also a row of thick logs standing behind the butt of the vehicle, and several rounds of tank tracks are fixed on the logs. Look at the pitted bullet marks on the tracks, this thing is very

Probably used as armor plate.

Until this time, Ivan the Great was finally able to determine the specific model of this BA armored vehicle.

"There is no back door, porous rubber bulletproof tires are used, and the DT machine gun with the machine gun shooting hole has been removed, but there is no doubt that this should be a BA6 armored vehicle."

Big Ivan patted the rusty car door with confidence and contentment, "This thing was used as a tank by the Soviet Red Army before 1941, but it was not enough after the Soviet Union and Germany officially started fighting, especially this armor

It is thinner than paper and cannot stop the artillery fire of German tanks."

"It stands to reason that this should have been eliminated a long time ago. It can't appear here, right?" He Tianlei asked.

"Nothing is impossible."

Big Ivan climbed out of the mud pit and said, "During the Winter War, Finland captured some of these armored vehicles. They used them until 1944 and were still reluctant to throw them away. The Soviet Union was similar. Although they were quickly replaced by T60 and T70, they have always been used.

He served until the end of the war, especially during the Battle of Nomonhan, where many of these little guys were active."

"Okay, now is not the time for archeology."

Shi Quan waved his hand, "Leizi, you go and get the motorcycle saw to cut a passage out. Big Ivan and I will dig the slope again, and then quickly pull the car up."

He Tianlei nodded and ran back to the base camp to get a motorcycle saw. In less than an hour, a passage three meters wide and more than 70 meters long was opened. As for the dozens of miscellaneous trees that were felled along the way, they were not wasted.

I selected a few neat ones, cut them into appropriate lengths, and pulled them to the armored vehicle with a tow rope. As for the remaining branches and leaves, I spread them on the road to serve as a foundation.

By the time he fixed the pulley and started driving, Shi Quan and Da Iwan had already rolled and dragged two logs under the chassis, then cut several logs into two-meter lengths and placed them horizontally on the slope, and finally moved the trailer.

The rope is connected to the front of the car.

"I'm going to open the winch, you two, stay away."

He Tianlei shouted while holding the mobile phone.

"Don't go too fast, be careful if the wire rope breaks."

Shi Quan gave an uneasy instruction before he and Da Iwan retreated far away.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the winch slowly tightened, and the suspended tow rope gradually straightened. There was a log pad inserted diagonally under the chassis, and the armored vehicle whose front was very similar to an old-fashioned GAZ slowly lifted up and finally slid in with difficulty.

On top of the two thick logs.

"stop!"

Shi Quan raised his hand and shouted, He Tianlei quickly locked the winch after hearing this.

This is not over yet. Dayi Wan and Shi Quan were responsible for tying the tires and the logs under the chassis tightly together. They even used a motorcycle saw to cut out the logs in the direction of the front of the car in order to reduce the resistance of the subsequent dragging.

An upward slope. This time, a six-wheeled armored vehicle was completely transformed into a five-ton sled vehicle that relied entirely on the logs under the chassis to slide.

The pulley block on the tree was removed and the winch was reattached to the front of the car. With the rotation of the winch, the former Soviet armored car that had been stuck in the swamp for more than half a century finally slowly left the smelly mud.

After untying the logs under the chassis, He Tianlei put away the hydraulic hoe and pulled the loot directly onto the logging road. Over at the base camp, Big Ivan had already been waiting for a long time with a high-pressure water gun.

After the strong water flow washed away the ba6, Big Ivan pointed at the turret turned to the rear of the car and asked, "Can you see anything?"

Shi Quan nodded, "The front of this armored vehicle points due west, indicating that it got stuck in the swamp when the Soviet army attacked the German defense line. But its turret points to the east of the Soviet defense line, and the back of the armored vehicle is made of simple tank tracks.

Additional armor. So obviously, you want to say that this armored vehicle was used as a firepower fortress by the Germans who had stabilized their defense line, right?"

Big Ivan nodded, "It's similar to my guess. I just don't know where the Germans found the shells. Let's open the turret and the door and take a look! There may be some other treasures in there."

"We just cut down a dozen trees for someone else's forest farm, aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

Big Ivan didn't take Li Shiquan's joke at all. He pulled He Tianlei to make guesses and gestures, and the two of them began to use their own methods, one in charge of the turret hatch and the other in charge of the cab door.

He Tianlei, who was squatting on the turret, was fine. Except for the fact that his new white gloves were dyed rusty again, he could only frown because of the smell in the car.

But Big Ivan, who was responsible for prying open the car door, was miserable. As the door opened, smelly black muddy water poured all over Big Ivan's camouflage pants and big leather boots.

"Deserved it"

Shi Quan silently took out his mask and gloves and put them on. After the smell inside dissipated, he looked inside with a strong flashlight.

The scene in the car once again confirmed what he and Big Ivan had just guessed.

This water-soaked armored vehicle is truly a typical example of dirt and mess. In addition to the mud that has soaked in the mud for many years, there are more rusty iron cans and bullet casings with green rust inside.

"Leizi, bring the high-pressure water gun over and give it a bath."

He Tianlei nodded when he heard the words, pulled the water gun over and climbed up to the turret again to pour water from top to bottom. At the same time, he also lowered the pressure to help Big Ivan wash away the mud on his pants.

After cleaning the interior of the car, I didn't expect to find something extra.

Big Ivan took out a dark wine bottle from the mezzanine under the seat, shook it and found that there was still liquid inside.

"This should be a handmade silver hip flask made from the former Soviet Union. Probably even the Germans who occupy this place haven't noticed that it's mine."

After speaking, Big Ivan took the wine bottle and unscrewed it, first smelled the taste, and then he raised his head and took a sip.

"puff!"

"It smells like alcohol, but tastes like mud."

"Is this old man really not afraid of death? He will put anything into his mouth?" He Tianlei was dumbfounded.

"How dare they open the cans dug out from the ground and taste them."

Shi Quan was not surprised and turned to look at He Tianlei, "Did you find anything over there? If not, we should withdraw."

"It really does exist! I almost forgot about it!"

He Tianlei pointed to the forest behind him, "I found a metal reaction place over there. It is very large, larger than the reaction area of ​​this armored vehicle, but the signal is very weak and seems to be buried very deep. Before I came to help

It hasn’t been dug out yet.”

"Let's go! Let's go see it together!"

Following He Tianlei into the forest, Shi Quan and Dayi Wan looked at the excavation site at the same time.

Different from the swamp where the BA6 armored vehicle was just dug, this place is located on the west side of a small highland in the forest, just facing away from the battle line, and He Tianlei's digging point is next to a thick pine tree on this small highland.

I bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt. Although it was also damp here, at least there was no mud soup, and my palms were clean after throwing away the lumps of mud in my hands.

He Tianlei's excavation work has just begun, but the depth is already more than half a meter. He and Big Ivan stepped back a few steps and looked at the surrounding environment. The two brothers each had their own guesses.

With a draft in mind, I started digging. The poor excavation site was dug through by three strong men wielding engineer shovels and it took less than half an hour to dig through the soil.

With a "crash" sound, scattered soil mixed with log fragments fell into the hole that was punched through.

How similar is this scene to the artillery command post where the bracelet was dug up?

The three of them silently continued to expand the scope of the excavation, directly expanding the hole that was originally only the size of a head to a full meter square.
Chapter completed!
