Isn't it normal for air-raid shelters to appear in Taihang Mountain?
Shanxi has always been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Not to mention ancient times, even now, as long as it involves local warfare, Shanxi must still be a battleground for military strategists!
Why?
Gu Zuyu in the Ming and Qing Dynasties said the most appropriate thing in his historical geography work "Dushi Fangyu Jiyao": Shanxi "occupies Taihang in the east, Huaimeng in the south, thin to the river in the west, and desert in the north", "with mountains and rivers inside and outside, the most complete and solid", occupying a position of "holding the back of the world and strangling its throat", so "the situation of the world must be taken from Shanxi".
Think about it, a place that occupies four of the nine most dangerous passes in the world (Yanmen Pass, Niangzi Pass, Pingxing Pass, Ningwu Pass), how can there be less war?
Let alone other things, how many battles did the Japanese fight here when they invaded? I won't talk about Yan Laoxi'er's fight with the Japanese at Niangzi Pass. Lin Biao also fought with the Japanese at Pingxing Pass. He Long also fought with the Japanese at Yanmen Pass. If you carefully calculate these things, they are actually close to Taihang Mountain. Basically, the war broke out in this area. At that time, in order to prevent the bombing of Japanese planes, the National Army and the Eighth Route Army built air-raid shelters in Taihang Mountain. In fact, not only Taihang Mountain, from northwest Shanxi to southern Shanxi, along the Yellow River, where can there be no air-raid shelters? So it's really not a new thing to see air-raid shelters in Taihang Mountain!
It's just that Zhang Bowen said that people died here, which is biased, so I couldn't help but say: "I say, Lao Zhang, can you stop spreading rumors? This Luoma Mountain is already weird enough, and you keep saying that people have died here. Do you still think that my heart is not pounding enough?"
Generally, people in our line of work are reluctant to go to places where people have died unless they are going to solve problems. Ignorance is fearless. Most people can't see the way when they go to a place where people have died suddenly, so they are not afraid. But people like us can see it. If there is something, can we pretend it's nothing? So when we encounter such a dangerous place, we stay away with the mentality of less trouble than more trouble.
"Is the air-raid shelter 100% safe? Who told you this theory?"
Zhang Bowen sneered and said slowly: "Do you know how powerful the artillery shell is? Once that thing explodes, even if people are not cut to death by shrapnel, they may be shaken to death. During World War II, 10% of the soldiers in the National Army were shaken to death! That was a bad year, with years of war. There were not many veterans in the army. All those who went in were a group of rookies. They were given a gun, taught how to pull the bolt and fire the gun, and pushed directly to the battlefield. They didn't even have common sense. When they heard the enemy firing the cannon, they immediately lay on the ground. Don't think that the kind of lying on the ground in the TV series is true. Those are all stupid directors who made stupid dramas. The artillery shells... Once you fall to the ground, the surrounding ground will shake like a drum skin being struck. Lying on the ground will immediately damage your internal organs. That's why so many soldiers of the National Army were not killed on the spot by the shells. Instead, they began to vomit blood the next day. The blood they vomited was full of internal organ fragments, and they died not long after! So the air-raid shelter is not omnipotent. The vibration of the shells falling on it is enough to shock people to death. If you want to survive, it's best to squat or stand. Even so, there is still a chance of being shocked to death! When I was in the army, I studied the information in this area. As long as the enemy's bombs fall accurately on the air-raid shelter, some people inside will definitely die, but not so many people will die, which reduces casualties! "
After Zhang Bowen finished speaking, I was stunned. Has anyone really died in this air-raid shelter? Then it might be really fierce inside. For a while, I was a little hesitant about whether to go in.
At this time, the rain in the sky was even heavier. Standing on the hillside, I could already see that there were mudslides on many hillsides in the distance. Lv Yike beside me couldn't help but urged: "Little Master, make a decision quickly. The rain is getting heavier. You should say something whether to go in or not. If not, let's leave the hillside quickly. This place is more dangerous!"
"Go in!"
I let out a long breath. It's not a good idea to continue to get wet in the rain. It's already autumn now. This autumn rain is cold. If I get wet for a long time, I will catch a severe cold and fever. I will die in this deep mountain forest, right?
So I gritted my teeth and said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, I can't avoid it. I won't go into Taihang Mountain if I'm afraid of ghosts!"
After that, I gritted my teeth and walked in first. But in order to be prepared, I still took out the Fa Qiu Yin from my schoolbag and hung it on my waist.
It's true that the air-raid shelter is quite large. It's pitch black when you walk in. There are several forks. Because it's dug in the mountain, it's very damp inside, with a pungent musty smell. If there's no sealing device at the entrance, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to go in, for fear of dying without oxygen!
At this time, Zhang Bowen and his friends had already followed me, so I took out my flashlight and found a fork and walked in. After walking about a hundred meters, I really found three or four human bones. It seems that Zhang Bowen is right. People really died in this air-raid shelter, but I'm afraid that not many people died at the beginning.
I walked over to check. The clothes on these bodies had already weathered almost, but I could vaguely see that they were military uniforms in the past, gray-blue.
Could it be an air-raid shelter dug by the Eighth Route Army?
I was a little confused, but I quickly rejected this idea because I found a hat under a corpse. Needless to say, the fabric had been bad for a long time and would fall apart if rubbed by hand, but the badge on the hat was well preserved. It was a blue sky and white sun badge, made of copper enamel. It seemed that the dead person should have been an officer in his lifetime.
Wearing a blue sky and white sun badge, but wearing a gray-blue military uniform, needless to say, these dead people should have been the Jinsui Army under Yan Laoxier in their lifetime. This air-raid shelter seemed to have been built by the Jinsui Army, but I didn't know which battle they fought.
I sighed, and didn't destroy these corpses, nor did I step over them, which would be disrespectful to the dead. In the end, I walked around them. No matter what, they were all anti-Japanese heroes, because the uniforms of the Jinsui Army had been changed during the civil war.
I don't know who dug this air-raid shelter, but its depth is amazing. I even suspected that they dug through the mountain below us horizontally. I walked for more than ten minutes but couldn't see the end. I didn't see any corpses, but the smell inside was not right. It seemed... quite smelly!
It was a very special smell, similar to an outdoor toilet in summer, but it was not so clean!
"No!"
Suddenly, Lu Yike stopped and his face suddenly became ugly: "We seem to have really entered a den of tigers and wolves. There seems to be a wild beast in this air-raid shelter. I have been to the wild beast den with the villagers before to dig out cubs. Generally, there is this smell in the cave of any particularly ferocious wild beast. The old people in the village said that this smell is left by the ferocious wild beast on purpose. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the cave in order to declare their territory and prevent other wild beasts from approaching!"
This time I ran into a tough guy...
I muttered in my heart. I can't deal with ghosts and monsters, but I have some ways to deal with them, so I dare to enter this air-raid shelter. But if it is a ferocious wild beast, I am drunk with the knives in our hands. None of us is Wu Song, and we can't deal with such a thing!
I took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Get out immediately. If this is a beast, we can't afford to offend it!"
In fact, I don't need to say anything. Zhang Bowen was more agile than me and had already turned around. Who knew that at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind us. It was very slight, but it was clearly heard.
Hiss...
Hiss...
Then there was the sound of some stones rolling on the ground. For a moment, the smell in the air seemed to be even more smelly, and there was a faint fishy smell.
Needless to say, it must be the master in the cave who came out!
I didn't dare to move for a moment, and then slowly turned around and looked back. I saw a pair of scarlet eyes about the size of a fist staring at me at a distance of no more than 20 meters from me! ! !
