When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the top of the gravel mountain, at the camp only about 20 meters away from the top of the mountain, Shi Quan, who was in charge of the last night shift, stood up and stretched with the rifle in his arms.

He casually threw some branches into the smoky bonfire, then fanned it twice with his baseball cap, and the burnt yellow flames jumped out again. He boiled a large pot of water again, and Shi Quan woke up everyone in the tent one by one.

Everyone.

"The day of the Diggers has begun. Come over quickly and have a cup of coffee." Shi Quan banged the stainless steel cup hard and shouted.

"Yuri, you would be beaten to death if you behaved like this in our orphanage." Elena crawled out of the tent sleepily and complained.

"If you want to hit someone, you have to be mentally alert first."

Shi Quan handed Elena a cup of hot and bitter coffee. The girl's sleepy look looked much better than her energetic look.

Taking advantage of breakfast, Shi Quan simply assigned the task, "Elena, today we will scan along the hillside with a metal detector, limiting the area to one kilometer, and see what we can find."

"I'm fine." Elena ate her food in two bites, picked up the dew-stained metal detector, and started.

"Mark, you can do whatever you want next."

After saying that, Shi Quan put on his headphones and also turned on the metal detector. This time Elena happened to choose the direction that deviated from the green arrow. It seemed that she was destined to give him the credit.

Glancing at the arrow that was more than 200 meters away from him, Shi Quan patiently explored the ground bit by bit with a metal detector.

"Yuri!"

Elena exclaimed, "Come here quickly! I have made a big discovery!"

Shi Quan looked up and saw Elena in the distance waving the metal detector at him.

"This looks like a metal pipe!" Elena said, pointing to the metal pipe that had just been dug out.

"Dig it out and see!"

Shi Quan threw the metal detector aside and dug horizontally along the exposed metal pipe.

It only took the two men less than 5 minutes to dig out a metal pipe that was one meter long and as thick as a wrist.

"This is a telescopic antenna!" Elena recognized it at a glance.

"And it's German."

Shi Quan pointed to the inscription on the base of the antenna and added, "Keep searching nearby, maybe you can find something else!"

Elena nodded and carried the heavy telescopic antenna back to the camp herself, and then the two of them continued to search the hillside.

Before Shi Quan could scan the green arrow, Elena made a new discovery!

"This is a hand-operated generator!" Elena said, pointing to the trophy that was almost rusty. "This kind of thing can often be dug up in Belarus. It is a common equipment used by guerrillas to provide power for radio equipment."

"There is no doubt that this is a radio communication point!"

Shi Quan helped Elena return the hand-crank generator to the camp, and then he also accelerated the progress and finally reached the position of the green arrow.

"Let me see what's buried here!"

Shi Quan threw the metal detector aside. The arrow was only less than twenty centimeters from the ground.

I didn't dare to use force, so I gently scraped off the floating soil bit by bit with the edge of the shovel, only to find that the buried thing seemed to have been seen somewhere before!

After a little recollection, isn't this the same model of the wooden box that was used when the guerrillas' cellars were excavated in Bryansk?

It is also a wooden box over one meter long and over eighty centimeters square. The outside of the box is also nailed with a thick layer of canvas. The only difference may be that the canvas seems to have been soaked in rosin, which undoubtedly makes it more waterproof.

good!

"Elena! Mark! Come here quickly!"

Shi Quan turned around and shouted, waiting until everyone gathered around and the camera found a good angle, then he carefully opened the wooden box.

This is really the standard operation of the guerrillas! Shi Quan stared at the thick layer of games in the box and said to himself.

When the box was completely opened, what caught everyone's attention was a well-preserved radio station. Next to the radio station were circles of cables. In addition to these things in the box, there was also a glowing sign in the corner.

Open linen pocket.

Shi Quan pinched a handful of white powder from his linen bag and twisted it, "This is hydrated lime. It is probably formed by the quicklime that was put in the box to prevent moisture from absorbing enough moisture."

"Fug 11 se100 radio..." Elena pointed to the inscription on the radio, "Do you know this kind of radio? I only know that it must be a German product."

"I guess it and the telescopic antenna you dug just now were all unloaded from that communication truck," Shi Quan guessed sideways.

"Wait a moment"

Mark turned on the microphone and said, "Yuri, now that the car radio and car antenna have been found, what about the communication vehicle? Or, in other words, where are the guerrillas who were originally installed in the communication vehicle?"

Shi Quan was silent for a moment and shook his head regretfully, "Sorry Mark, we can't analyze these yet. Based on the clues we have obtained so far, we can make a simple guess."

"Tell me more details?"

Shi Quan nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke, "Not long after Mikhail hid the heavy communications vehicle, the vehicle was accidentally discovered by a certain guerrilla stationed nearby. Of course, there were also

It may be the clue provided by the guerrilla who was shot in the butt, but this is still unclear."

"Go on." Mark nodded.

"No matter where the news came from, the local guerrillas discovered this communication vehicle, and then dismantled the radio station and the vehicle-mounted telescopic antenna just discovered by Elena according to their own needs.

Subsequently, these guerrillas re-established the German radio station on this mountain because they could intercept the German frontline messages.

These guerrillas operating behind enemy lines must have known that once this message was sent out through this high-power radio, it would definitely attract German soldiers stationed nearby."

Shi Quan stood up and pointed in the direction of the first high ground behind him, "But the news that the Red Army has recaptured Minsk is too important to the people in the occupied areas, and they must convey this news as soon as possible.

And we don’t rule out whether they wanted to ‘convey’ this news to all enemies to disrupt military morale. But no matter what the reason was, they finally chose to turn on the radio station.”

"What about the high ground across the way?" Mark asked, "Why is there a radio there too?"

"That's bait!"

Elena said with certainty, "Before and after the Battle of Belarus, this high-power German radio was very important to the guerrillas operating in enemy-occupied areas. And they must be aware of the German positioning methods, so they deployed the radio on the opposite side in advance.

Individual radio.”

"Elena is right!"

Shi Quan nodded in agreement, "Convey the message before the German army reacts, and then hide the telescopic antenna and radio station. Finally, use the individual radio with a communication distance of only two kilometers to activate the password or even plain text message to attract

German attention."

"Are you saying that the Red Army soldiers who were guarding that hill sacrificed themselves on their own initiative?"

Shi Quan shook his head, "I don't know about this. They may really have a death wish, or they may have misjudged the efficiency of the German army and were trapped in the mountains before they had time to evacuate. But no matter what the reason, these guerrillas

The team members are all heroes."

Mark nodded in agreement, and then asked persistently, "Then our clues are just cut off?"

"Don't forget we have two other exploration teams."

Shi Quan fastened the waterproof box again, "And we have only searched less than half of this hill. No matter what we find there, the most important thing now is to finish searching here first."

Mark waved to the photographer behind him, turned off the microphone and asked eagerly, "Can I participate?"

"certainly!"

Shi Quan nodded without hesitation, "But if you find anything, it's best for us to dig together."

"Of course I know this! Don't worry!"

Mark threw the microphone to the photographer who looked resentful, ran back to the camp and picked up his sexy pink metal detector.

Although there is an additional free labor force, the search speed has not actually increased much. It is busy from morning to noon, and from noon to dark. There is still less than half of the area on this hillside that has not been explored.

The whole day's search was not fruitless. The three people found many traces of the guerrillas stationed here.

Apart from some daily utensils of little value, the biggest gain was the discovery of a long-collapsed underground tunnel under an oak tree about 400 meters from the top of the mountain.

However, this discovery came a bit late. Mark, who was extremely lucky, found a large pot of rabbit meat on the campfire when he discovered this place.

The two rabbits in the pot were shot by Elena with Shiquan's rifle. Since Shiquan had that unforgettable roasted wolf meat in the Lena River, there were several more packages of Chinese stew in his backpack.

material.

"The water is taken from the swamps at the foot of the mountain. Although it has been boiled, it may have some smell."

Shi Quan picked up the steel cup and took a sip, "Okay, I take back what I just said. It's not impossible. It really tastes good."

"It would be good to drink some." Elena picked up the cup and took a sip without caring. The faint rancid smell mixed with the aroma of jasmine tea made it indescribably weird to drink.

"Although the water doesn't taste very good, the rabbit meat tastes really good." Mark said with a smile.

The three of them were talking and laughing, but the photographer who had not spoken much all day still insisted on taking pictures.

In the camera lens, the constantly beating flames made the faces of the three people flicker with flickering light, and the soup pot placed on the bonfire was steaming with light steam. Against the dark night, the happy and casual chat of the three young people was reflected. All of this.
