"I fell head down, and in a panic, curled up my body and protected my head with my hands. Luckily, I am still agile enough to distinguish which way is up and down after hitting the ground twice. I quickly got up and looked around, thinking who the hell plotted against me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I lifted my head, a bunch of ice chunks suddenly came crashing down on me, hitting my face and forcing me to lower my head and protect it once again. One of the ice chunks slammed into the back of my head, and the freezing debris drilled into my neck. I was furious and tried to raise my head to confront the ice chunks, but before I could even lift it halfway, another wave of ice chunks hit me with greater quantity and weight. One piece violently struck the back of my neck, almost knocking me out.
At that moment, I immediately understood that the other party wanted to bury me with ice. In this environment, this was a devious plan to kill me.
"I was greatly shocked in my heart. Although geological work may encounter many dangers, it was the first time someone wanted to kill me. Could it be that the enemy that was lurking here saw me alone and wanted to attack me? Immediately, I was furious, thinking that you were completely wrong to use this method instead of a gun. Although I am a technical soldier, who among those who served as a soldier in those years was easy to deal with? At least I carried sandbags and ran five kilometers."
Thinking of me, I picked up a piece of ice from the edge and threw it hard towards where the ice was falling, regardless of whether I hit it or not. After throwing it away, I immediately continued to throw it. After a few throws, the momentum of the ice slowed down, and it was obvious that the person pushing the ice down was dodging the ice I threw up.
"I know that opportunities are not to be missed and time won't come again. I immediately exerted force to climb up the ice wall, but only after a few steps, my heart sank."
"It's too slippery, there's no way to apply force!"
"I stepped on it but there was no buffer at all and I slipped down immediately."
"Damn! I got anxious all of a sudden and shouted loudly before jumping with determination. As soon as I landed on the edge of the pit, I couldn't lift myself up and suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing before me. My chin received a strong kick and I fell down again."
"This fall was much harder than the previous fall. The pain made me see black, and the flashlight I was holding in my hand fell. However, in that instant, I saw the other person's clothes."
"I was stunned when I fell to the bottom of the pit and saw what clothing it was. Oh my, my heart shrunk, it was a Japanese military uniform."
"Japanese?"
"This is a terrifying discovery for me. Could it be that the person attempting to bury me alive is a Japanese soldier?"
"They had already thought about it. This place has been abandoned for only twenty years. If there was enough food here, it is possible that the remaining Japanese soldiers could have survived. However, the likelihood of this is too low. As seen all along, this cave is not suitable for survival. "
The idea flashed through my mind, and I once again pushed down the block of ice that had risen halfway. The people outside obviously changed their strategy and wanted to push all the crushed ice down to bury me alive. However, the blocks of ice had frozen together, making it impossible for them to kill me at once. But, on the other hand, it was also impossible for me to climb out of the jumbled ice.
"Probably due to the coldness of the ice, my mind was extremely clear. I immediately realized that this couldn't continue. If I couldn't get up, I would be a dead dog. The other person couldn't bury me alive and would have enough time to think of other ways to kill me. This situation couldn't go on like this, it would not be favorable for me."
"But what can I do? Pretend to be dead?"
At this moment, the flashlight I dropped was immediately buried by the ice, which made the situation even more dangerous. I reacted instinctively, struggling to free my feet from the ice while squatting down and blindly reaching into the broken ice with my hands.
"I didn't expect that when I reached out, instead of touching the flashlight, I touched something with a strange texture. I grabbed it and suddenly heard a clattering sound. This is bad."
"I didn't have time to worry about the ambush above my head. I used my left hand to protect my head and started digging through the snow under my feet, because although the feeling from earlier made me uncertain, I still felt like I might have touched something deadly."
Just now, the feeling in my hand was conical at the top, icy cold like the surrounding ice. Only a little bit was exposed, like a frozen iron nugget in the ice. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't feel anything out of the ordinary, but I'm different. When I was interning in Jiamusi at school, I once touched this thing in an ice cave there. At that time, we were scared half to death and crawled out of the cave.
After digging a few times with the flashlight, they pulled it out for me. I took it out and used the flashlight as a tool to continue digging. Soon, the bottom of the pit was excavated again, and a black conical shape appeared in front of me.
Although I had already realized what it was, seeing it in person still made me take a deep breath in shock.
"That is really a warhead."
Since only a small part is exposed on the ice, it is impossible to determine the caliber of the entire projectile that is frozen under the ice. However, it is definitely not a 92mm shell. This projectile is much larger and should belong to some kind of heavy artillery with a large caliber.
"I suddenly understood why the people who dug here earlier only dug out this point and didn't continue. Hell, if it were me, I wouldn't dare either. The fuse cover of this shell had been twisted off. If they had dug one more shovel down, everything would have exploded. My mind is racing just thinking about it. I never imagined that this frozen ice under the water could be this dangerous. If there are so many shells in all the ice pools outside, how many are there frozen here?"
"Depending on the size, there will definitely be 5,000 pieces."
However, why did the Japanese freeze these shells in the first place?
"A big block of ice fell on my head, ending my thoughts. The person above kept pushing down the ice incessantly. I had no time to consider, but I was very worried. I hurriedly dug up the bullets buried under the broken ice, thinking that I must escape and inform Wang Sichuan and the others about this matter."
I don't know what kind of warhead this is for the time being. If it is an ordinary equivalent warhead, then the Japanese must have prepared to destroy the dam as a whole by stacking these bombs here.
In the field of blasting engineering, massive concrete structures like dams are extremely difficult to destroy. Ordinary explosives with small yields hardly have any effect on damaging the dam. When the Nationalist Party was preparing to blow up the Xiaofeng Dam, they also encountered this problem. The most effective method to completely destroy a dam is by stacking a large amount of explosives at the bottom of the dam. Therefore, staying here is like sitting on a powder keg, which is really unsafe.
Given my current situation, I face a difficult problem. I have to arch my body to protect the projectile below from being crushed by large chunks of ice. Otherwise, everything would become a mess and getting out would be almost impossible.
"This is really a maddening experience, just like someone catching you off guard and hitting you, but you can't hit back, yet you still have an extreme sense of injustice."
After more than ten minutes, my body was frozen and almost buried in ice. But still, there was no way out. At this point, I felt that I might really die here. Without caring about anything, I grabbed a piece of ice and threw it up, shouting loudly, "I f\*\*king curse you! There is a bomb down here! If you throw it again, I'll make sure you die with me!"
"A piece of ice thrown from above was used in response. I lowered my head to avoid it and was about to curse again. At this moment, everything above became quiet suddenly and there was no more sound. Then, the ice-skating also stopped."
"After waiting for a while and shouting a few more times without any response, I finally realized that there was no reaction. I then began shining my flashlight upwards, but could no longer see anyone."
"Gone? I suddenly felt scared, thinking whether he would come back with a weapon because he thought he was too slow. I forcefully pulled my feet out while the ground was covered in broken ice. I stepped on it and sank down like in a snowdrift. I tried twice but found it impossible to exert force. At that moment, two flashlights shone down from above."
"I looked up but couldn't see anyone due to backlighting, but I heard Ma shouting in amazement, 'It's Wu Gong!'"
"I felt a sudden relief in my heart and quickly shouted to them, 'Be careful! There are Japanese people here!'"
The horse in the sea didn't hear clearly, and at this time I heard the voice of the deputy squad leader again. He understood, but apparently did not comprehend.
"The horse stretched out its hand in the sea and pulled me up. My whole body was stiff, and it asked me what was wrong?"
There was wind outside, and I shivered with cold. I quickly shone my flashlight around, but there was no sight of the person wearing the Japanese military uniform.
After the deputy squad leader woke up, the horse on the sea came out to find us only after being reprimanded by the deputy squad leader. The deputy squad leader meant that their engineering unit came down with the exploration team to protect us few engineers. Why do we need to be protected? Because we are talents of the country, and when sacrifices are needed, their engineering troops should be at the forefront. Otherwise, they will only cause trouble for us when they come down.
"Now, it is two engineers who are exploring the road, while the construction soldiers are sleeping in their nests. Whose face can bear this shame? So, we forced Ma Hai to come and find us."
"I was moved when I heard him say that, but such a thought is obviously a bit too masculine. I didn't say anything at the time."
"I told the deputy team leader and they all felt unbelievable. Ma Zaihai said that if there are really Japanese people involved, then it's complicated. We really need to be careful. After so many years of victory in the Resistance War, it is not worth being killed by the Japanese. And they never expected the shadow under the ice to be a bullet head."
"We searched around a bit but couldn't find any trace of that Japanese person at all. The deputy team leader said it was not appropriate and there might be more than one person. They must have fled when they saw the flashlight. They might come with reinforcements later, it's not safe for us to stay here, we should leave now."
Since they came out to look for us, I didn't need to go back to the cabin, which saved a lot of time. I judged the direction and rode on Ma on the back of the sea towards the direction of the iron gate.
The journey went smoothly. When I returned to the hoisting workshop, I could see Wang Sichuan's fire from far away. Just the thought of fire made my whole body itch, and I wanted to hurry up and go roast something.
"The deputy team leader and his team were also shivering cold. Several people ran past, and Ma in the sea shouted loudly, "Worker Wang!"
We immediately saw someone move near the bonfire, and then we saw over a dozen people wearing Japanese military uniforms standing up behind a canvas on the side.
