Not long after driving along the edge of the hilly forest toward the border, He Tianlei's voice sounded again on the radio, "Those three cars are not following you."

"Didn't you follow us? Not even one?" Shi Quan asked, slightly lowering his speed.

"There wasn't even one, and they passed me straight into Sevsk!"

"Could it be that we admitted our mistake? Maybe she didn't notice that we left at all?" Liu Xiaoye speculated optimistically.

"Have you forgotten Orika's usual tricks?" At this time, Big Ivan was still trying to show off.

The usual trick? Shi Quan suddenly realized, "You mean she installed a locator for us?"

"Eighty percent of it is like this"

Big Ivan said affirmatively, "Just now I was wondering how they determined our position after dawn. How could they not lose us even though we were hundreds of meters away? With this technology, even if Ludenkov's people came, we would still need helpers along the way.

This can only be achieved with the cooperation of others. Since we have not followed up now, it only means that our car has been equipped with a locator."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have put in so much effort." Elena couldn't help complaining, what was the purpose of bumping on the road for three hundred kilometers this morning?

“This is a good thing”

Shi Quan thought for a while and picked up the phone, "Leizi, you go around the city as usual and then meet up with Big Ivan."

"You want to make a trap?" Big Ivan instantly guessed Shi Quan's plan.

"That's right, their people must have seen Elena in my car when we were in Suga just now. Now that you are so far away, I will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity."

"You are risking yourself as bait." Big Ivan muttered.

"I'm not stupid."

Shi Quan smiled and told his plan, "After Lei Zi and you meet up, you will do nothing else but keep an eye on the radar at all times. By the way, you will find a way to find all the locators on the car, and dismantle them once the other party comes over."

Use the locator to block their retreat!"

Big Ivan added, "As long as that Orika is not crazy, they will definitely choose to operate at night, so we still have at least one daylight time."

"In this case, let's hurry up!" After Shi Quan said this, he turned the steering wheel and drove along a gentle slope covered with grass into the hilly forest.

The woodland shrouded in morning mist is far less dense than the forest that Big Ivan is responsible for across the farmland, and the gaps between the woodlands are large enough to easily drive a car into.

However, after crushing the bushes along the forest clearing and driving less than 200 meters to the nearest black arrow, Shi Quan had to slam on the brakes amidst the violent bumps.

This woodland looks fine from the outside, but as the saying goes, the outside is light. If it weren't for those pine trees and newly sprouted bushes, everyone would nod in agreement if they said it was a stone spring on the surface of the moon.

Large and small mud pits are connected one after another, and one or two fallen and rotten logs can be seen every now and then. Not to mention that the terrain is so rough that even a tank would have to lie down when it comes over.

Shi Quan put the reverse gear on and struggled to pull the front of the car out of the quagmire. Shi Quan secretly glanced at the black arrow more than one kilometer away from him in the map field of vision, and finally gave up the plan of driving there.

"Elena, I'm going to look in the woods to see if there's a suitable place for us to hide. You can take advantage of this moment to find the locator that may be hidden in the car."

"You don't need me to go with you?" Elena asked slightly disappointed.

"For your own good, don't go in since it's all muddy." Shi Quan picked up the backpack placed on the back seat, "Don't move once those locators are found, just remember the location."

"Just think you are doing it for me! Be careful and contact me via radio anytime if anything happens."

Elena was so happy that she squatted on the passenger seat and opened the sunroof above her head like a fool, and then climbed onto the roof of the car neatly with both hands.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, Shi Quan first took out the disassembled metal detector from his bag and assembled it, then put on his headphones and headed towards the black arrow one kilometer away.

If it were on flat ground, such a short distance would only require one step of the accelerator, but now that I was relying on only two legs and dodging mud pits that popped up from time to time, this speed was naturally not much faster.

The further he walked in, the more doubts he had in his mind. There was no trace of human activity in this place at all. Even the surrounding pine trees grew crookedly. Some of them could even see their thin waists broken in half.

Dead tree trunks covered with moss and fungi.

"Isn't this place the bombing area?"

Shi Quan swallowed. When it comes to the excavation sites that the Diggers are most afraid of, the first one is always the bombing area that was ravaged by Soviet and German bombers during World War II. Due to the limitations of the Soviet and German aviation during World War II, Shi Quan swallowed.

Due to the limitations of bomb technology, these places generally contain a large number of deadly unexploded aerial bombs.

The biggest thing these places have in common is that the ground is full of shell craters, with radioactive vegetation growing down, and the gaps are relatively large. There are even some big trees with strong vitality and good luck that are far away from the blast point, leaving half of their necrotic trunks.

The scene before us almost completely matched all the characteristics of the bombing site.

Looking behind him, the RV was already shrouded in trees and morning fog. Looking at the black arrows in the map field of view, the distance between the two was less than two hundred meters.

Shi Quan gritted his teeth, turned on the sensitivity of the metal detector to the highest level, and continued to explore forward cautiously. As long as the detector responded, he took a small flag from his bag and stuck it nearby, and then walked away from it.

By the time the last small flag in the bag was used up, the distance between him and the black arrow had shortened to just over seventy meters. It was already approaching noon, the fog in the forest gradually dissipated, and the visual distance became farther.

After dismantling the metal detector and putting it away in his backpack, Shi Quan stood on tiptoe and raised the telescope.

"This is so unlucky..." Shi Quan couldn't help cursing secretly. He finally knew what the black arrow marked.

A few dozen meters away from the black arrow, most of the barrel of the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun and the remnants of part of the gun mount were resting on the trunk of a pine tree growing diagonally with its head facing upwards. And in the black

On the other side of the arrow, you can also see a German half-track armored vehicle lying upside down.

Coupled with the surrounding pine trees that were struggling to grow in a semi-lodging position, even a blind man would know that an explosion that could overturn a truck had occurred here!

How big a bomb would it take to explode like this?

Shi Quan couldn't help but think of the German tank he found lying on the ground when he came to Kursk last year. Now he finally knew how that tank was lying there with its legs in the air.

Putting away the telescope, Shi Quan turned around and walked away. The black arrow must be the shell of the 88mm cannon! This thing couldn't be sold at all. He only went over to dig them out when he lost his mind.

Following the footsteps back to the RV, Elena was already preparing lunch. She put on clean clothes and threw all the muddy coats and underwear into the washing machine. Shi Quan walked to the bathroom and asked, "I found it.

?"

"Found 7," Elena said casually as she placed a bowl of steaming beet soup on the table.

Shi Quan, who had already gotten into the bathroom, stepped back half a step and stuck his head out, "How many? Seven? Why so many?"

"Then you have to ask Orica, maybe she misses you too much." Elena tapped the dinner plate with a spoon, "Hurry up, it's time to have lunch."

"Are there so many of them there?" Shi Quan washed his hands and sat on the sofa and asked.

"There were 9 in my car, and only two were found in the remaining two cars." Elena sat across from Shi Quan and said proudly, "It seems she hates both of us."

Who told you to hit people only in the face? Shi Quan muttered and asked curiously, "Where did they hide the locators?"

"You can find them under the solar panels on the roof, on the chassis, and even on the motorcycle hanging behind your butt." Elena pushed the soup plate to Shi Quan, "How are you doing there? Did you gain anything?"

"This pine forest should have been the artillery position of the German army at that time, and it was also the bombing area of ​​the Soviet Air Force. It was very dangerous." Shi Quan asked while soaking the re-roasted big ribba in the soup, "The situation over there at Big Ivan

How about it?"

"They haven't found anything yet."

Elena pointed out the window with her spoon, "Do you really believe the content of that veteran's memoir? The memoir of a veteran who is over a hundred years old and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, huh?"

"What's wrong?" Shi Quan didn't know why.

"It's only April, but if you look outside the window, we are still at the edge of the forest and can't see outside at all. The Battle of Kursk took place in July and August, and the forest would only be denser at that time. Regardless of whether the ammunition depot is in our

Here or on Big Ivan's side, how did Vasily see the ammunition depot being blown up? This is simply impossible to happen."

"Don't be so hasty to make a conclusion. This hilly area is 15 kilometers long. Let's drive a little further later and find a place to take a look. Even if there is no ammunition depot here, at least it is a World War II ruins protection zone. We can always find it.

Something.”

"You are the boss and I listen to you, but we are just going to keep looking like this? Don't forget that there is a flat-chested little fairy." Elena said sourly. Even the word "little fairy" was specially said in Chinese.

Even the pronunciation is abnormally standard.

Shi Quan opened his mouth and was about to say something when the radio hanging on the wall rang.

"Elena, is Yuri back? We have made a big discovery here." Big Ivan's broken voice was full of excitement.

"Did you find the ammunition depot?"

Shi Quan picked up the radio and secretly observed the map view, but there were quite a few arrows on Big Ivan's side.

"Not an ammunition depot"

This time Ivan the Great did not give in and shouted loudly, "Artillery position, Soviet artillery position! At least one anti-tank artillery regiment's artillery was once stationed in this forest!"
Chapter completed!
