Early the next morning, Shi Quan and the two were woken up by Big Ivan.

"You two are too efficient, aren't you?"

Big Ivan pointed to the pak38 cannon sandwiched between two vehicles, "You dug out a cannon in one day?"

"It's not me this time."

Shi Quan quickly pointed at He Tianlei, "He discovered it this time."

"Forget it, no matter who discovered it, do you two continue digging or come back with me?"

"Of course, continue, we haven't finished exploring this forest yet." Shi Quan replied matter-of-factly.

"In this case, you two go find me to look after your house here."

Big Ivan simply didn't leave in a hurry. Now that he had changed to a Tatra, he realized what a gas tiger is. This trip of more than 100 kilometers required more than 50 liters of diesel alone, which was equivalent to the previous Taitra.

Nimok's fuel consumption was doubled. And there was no guarantee that the two of them would dig up any treasures later. If he was called back just halfway, it would be a waste of time and fuel money.

For the Shi Quan brothers, it is much more convenient to have Big Ivan at the base camp. They can safely continue to explore according to yesterday's plan.

Because at the beginning of the assignment, Shi Quan deliberately assigned a green arrow to He Tianlei's only path, so within an hour, He Tianlei stopped again.

It wasn't until he completely coincided with the green arrow in the map's field of vision that Shi Quan nodded with satisfaction and headed straight to the location marked by the last arrow.

This place is quite far away from the base camp. Not only is the moisture content of the soil under our feet significantly higher, but the burial depth is only less than twenty centimeters!

Shi Quan doesn't have He Tianlei's skill of tracing with a metal detector. Anyway, if the thing is buried here, it can't escape. I just want to know what it is and dig it out.

After gently pushing two shovels down, there was a hollow and dull sound of metal tapping in the mud.

"Could it be that we dug up a tank?"

Shi Quan gently tapped the round metal cover covered with a thin layer of mud with the tip of his shovel. He had only seen anything similar to this shape on a tank turret.

"Ivan! Big Ivan! Come here and help me!"

Shi Quan turned around and shouted, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart and expanding the scope of the excavation.

"What's wrong?"

Big Iwan walked over and asked curiously.

"Look what type of tank turret this is. I've never seen it before."

Hearing this, Big Ivan squatted on the edge of the pit and stretched out his hands to wipe away the mud. His eyes widened with just one glance.

Standing up and grabbing the engineer shovel from Shi Quan's hand, Big Ivan dug a crooked pit forward along the artillery base on the turret.

"This turret is equipped with a 1934-style 45mm tank gun."

After speaking, Big Ivan turned around and dug around the turret again, and then said in surprise, "Yuri, this is not a tank. If I am not mistaken, it should be a Soviet armored car."

"The Soviet Union still has armored vehicles?"

Shi Quan looked confused. Did the Soviet Union have armored vehicles? He really didn't know about this kind of equipment that the Digging Party rarely found.

"BA series armored cars!"

Big Ivan thought for a while and changed his words, "Cars and tanks, you always know this, right?"

"oh!"

Shi Quan suddenly realized, "I remembered it when you said that!"

Whether it is an armored car or a car or a tank, we are actually talking about the ba series of armored cars, especially the ba10. This armored car is definitely one of the classic main equipment of the Soviet Union in the early days of World War II. It was definitely worthy of the performance of the Soviet Union at the time.

The best armored car.

The biggest feature of this 6-wheel armored car is that in addition to having a tank-like turret, it also uses solid rubber tires. This is not only for durability, but also means that its two pairs of rear wheels can be equipped with tracks at any time. A half-track armored vehicle!

Although they are both half-tracks, the BA series armored vehicles and the World War II German half-track armored truck that Shi Quan is targeting this time have two completely different technology trees.

Although this Soviet model can also be used as a half-track, you can take off your shoes at any time and turn it into a pure car. In addition, with a dead weight of only more than five tons and the Soviet Union's consistent simple and durable design concept, it is not so much a car. Rather, the half-track is a car that can be used as a half-track or even as a railway patrol turret at any time. Its only drawback is that it has too little horsepower.

Shi Quan doesn't care about its shortcomings, but unfortunately it was originally for the 88mm gun and German half-track armored vehicles, but the gun he dug up now is not the 88 gun he expected, and the half-track he dug up is also the same as the old photo. The eight poles inside cannot be hit.

But regardless of whether these trophies meet Shi Quan's expectations, adhering to the Digger Party's principle of being picky about food but not wasting it, there is no doubt that this BA armored vehicle will be dug out.

After shouting twice to call He Tianlei, the three brothers began to think about how to get this thing out.

"The geology here is too soft. It will be difficult to pull it out. Moreover, our three vehicles must not come here. It will be difficult to get out as soon as we drive in." He Tianlei bent down and dug two shovels and gave a professional judgment.

"Indeed, the water content here is too high, not to mention too dry, even if the tank comes, it will be useless."

Shi Quan also found it difficult. From the excavated parts, it was probably the same reason why this BA armored vehicle was left here in the first place. This may be regarded as the longest vehicle trap in history.

"It's not like there's no way."

Big Ivan has visited countless excavation sites over the years, and he is definitely the richest among the three brothers in terms of excavation experience.

"If you have a solution, just say it quickly and don't be too secretive."

"Smolensk is originally a place with a lot of forests and swamps. Over the years, many digging parties have discovered Soviet-German tanks stuck in the mud. When encountering situations like this, they usually choose to wait. "

"Wait a minute? What are you waiting for?" Shi Quan asked and translated the original words to He Tianlei.

"Wait for winter!"

Big Ivan said with certainty, "As long as the surrounding area of ​​the chariot is replaced with slag or construction waste before winter comes, when the temperature is low enough in winter, the slag that has absorbed enough moisture will freeze into an ice mass. At that time, you only need to choose the right angle. It's easy to pull out."

"Isn't this cycle too long?" He Tianlei said with a frown.

"Not only does it take a long time, but the location we are in is a forest farm. In the winter, the place will be full of lumberjacks, and there will be no chance for us to dig." Shi Quan objected without thinking.

"Cut down the tree!"

He Tianlei suddenly said, "At least four logs with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters are needed to be placed under the armored vehicle in a 'well' shape."

As he spoke, He Tianlei pointed to the crooked tree facing the front of the armored vehicle not far away and said, "Then use the tow rope to pass through the fork of the tree and pull it up diagonally."

After listening to Shi Quan's translation, Big Ivan nodded, "You can try this method, but to be on the safe side I think you can add a pulley set to the tree."

"There is no problem with this method, but the amount of excavation work is not small."

Shi Quan pointed to the turret that had just popped up, "Ivan, do me a favor and dig along with you."

There was nothing to say, so the three brothers picked up the engineering shovels and surrounded the armored vehicle and started.

Compared with yesterday's artillery, although there is an extra Big Ivan this time, the scope of digging required is larger. Not only must this nearly five-meter-long steel monster be completely dug out, but also the digging must be extended from the front of the car forward.

Create a long enough slope.

They continued to work until almost noon, and the three of them had completely turned into mud monkeys. However, the workload was only more than half completed, and there was already knee-deep mud accumulated at the bottom of the pit.

"Let's go! Go back and have something to eat first, then continue in the afternoon!"

Big Ivan pointed behind him and said, "There is a single soldier in my car warming himself up. Let's go back and eat something first."

"It's not from the Russian army, is it?"

He Tianlei and Shi Quan asked in unison, one in Chinese and the other in Russian. Their expressions turned out to be somewhat ugly.

"That's because you don't know how to eat. I'll prepare a big meal for you later!" From the look on Big Ivan's face, it seemed that he thought highly of this thing.

But neither Shi Quan nor He Tianlei would believe it even if they were beaten to death. The Russian army's self-heating rations for individual soldiers are well-known as "food for the brave."

This title is not meant for brave men, but if you can eat this thing and still cheer it up, you can definitely be called a brave man!

He Tianlei was lucky enough to participate in a social gathering organized by Maozi's peacekeeping force when he was maintaining peace. He still has a vivid memory of the small pink box containing salty fat pork in the Russian army's self-heating meal.

Not to mention Shi Quan, you can see Big Ivan eating canned Salou every now and then with a look of enjoyment on his face. Sometimes if you can’t buy it, you will make do with the salty fat pork in the Russian army rations. It is definitely more disgusting than canned herring.

Dark cuisine.

"Quanzi, I think, why don't we order some noodles for ourselves? I saw you had Lao Ganma in your car yesterday. Mix it up and at least it's for human consumption," He Tianlei suggested uneasily.

"Let's just have a few bites later. If we really can't eat anymore, we'll order some noodles." Shi Quanxin said that he should save some face for Big Iwan.

Less than ten minutes later, Big Ivan walked out of the car carrying three metal trays. Shi Quan swore that the last time he used such metal trays was when he was eating in the cafeteria in college. He didn’t know how Big Ivan could prepare them in the car.

This kind of thing.

Beef rice that looked like Indian curry rice, beef beans that were stewed to a pulp that looked more like mushy, and beef meatballs that didn’t have a regular shape at all. These three items were barely edible, but they didn’t taste like much beef at all.

, as for the chunks of beef, you just want to eat them!

After eating these edible portions, the brothers didn't take a bite of the salty fatty pork in the corner of the plate, which was almost the same color as raw pork. Not only was it full of fat, but it was also salty and fishy.

Just when he was about to find an excuse to lose weight and give this stuff to Big Ivan, Shi Quan felt that the back of his neck felt warm as if someone was blowing on it.

I turned my head absentmindedly and almost pulled out my gun. Isn't this the brown bear cub from last night?

This little guy actually stood up and put his two front paws on the back of He Tianlei's folding chair. At this time, he was stretching his big head to sniff at Shi Quan.

Almost at the same time, He Tianlei discovered this little guy who had been obsessed with him last night. This guy was also smart. Without thinking, he picked up a large piece of fat pork from the plate and threw it to the brown bear cub behind him.

Sitting opposite, Big Ivan raised his head, calmly dipped some biscuit crumbs into some jam and put it in his palm, then simply led the little guy over.

"This little guy showed up when you went treasure hunting this morning."

Big Ivan waited for the little brown bear to lick the biscuits in his hands clean, and then continued, "This young brown bear prefers sweets to meat. If there is a jar of honey, it will follow us without hesitation."

"It appeared last night and took a big bite of pork from him. I think this little guy likes sweets because he was full last night."
