Through the gaps between the logs, Shi Quan looked at the thick muzzle obsessively.

Due to the angle of vision, he could only see the tank's gun barrel and heavy chassis.

But no matter what, this is definitely a tank!

Dig it out first!

Such a huge harvest made him instantly full of energy. He pulled the folding saw in his hand very fast, and it took him more than half an hour to finally open a small door that was half a meter wide and one meter high!

He bent down and crawled into the dark underground space. Under the bright headlight, he finally saw clearly what treasure he had dug up!

Damn it! Damn it!

Shi Quan opened his mouth wide and looked obsessively at the behemoth that occupied almost the entire field of view!

The tall and thick gun barrel, the dull and mottled imperial gray paint, and the unique armor shape all indicate its identity!

"mua~!" Shi Quan kissed the bracelet on his wrist hard!

Leopard! It turned out to be a Leopard!

It never occurred to him that he would find a Leopard!

A 45-ton war beast!

"It's been done!"

Shi Quan was ecstatic, this was one of the most successful tanks in World War II!

Its discovery means a huge amount of dollars! But in disguise, once it is not handled properly, it can also cause trouble or even death!

After calming down, Shi Quan broke into a cold sweat. It was a good thing to dig out the Leopard Type, but it would definitely be a huge crisis if it was not handled well.

In addition to the hidden dangers behind it, how to transport it away without anyone noticing is also a problem!

Judging from the structure of this underground space, it should be the temporary tank maintenance station of the German army during the Battle of Kursk. The space above the head is only supported by steel frames and iron sheets. In some places, holes have even been corroded, and lumps of soil shaped like graves are leaking down.

.

There are pros and cons. The good thing is that it is convenient to destroy corpses and traces. I believe that as long as the supporting structure is destroyed, the fragile underground space will collapse in an instant.

But the disadvantages are also the same. You need to be extremely careful to get the tank out without collapsing.

Once the top of the tank collapses before it even comes out, it will definitely take a lot of time to get this 45-ton behemoth out.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Quan got out of the underground space and continued to wield the engineering shovel vigorously. This time it was not digging, but burying.

After filling in the dug hole, Shi Quan dug pieces of turf from a distance to cover the excavation traces. Before help came, he had to ensure that no one would discover this place!

"Big Ivan, is it convenient to talk now?"

Shi Quan returned to the car and thought for a long time before dialing Da Iwan's phone number.

"how?"

"Find a place where no one is around, big business!"

"Hold on!"

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. It took a full three minutes before Big Ivan said: "I'm in the attic now. There's no one around. What did you find?"

"Tank! A complete tank!" Shi Quan roared impatiently.

"Tank? What model?"

Big Ivan's voice was trembling, and he was obviously shocked by the news. "Digging a tank" and "digging a complete tank" have completely different meanings in the Digging Party circle.

"Don't worry about the model. Come to Kursk now and find a flatbed trailer with a large load capacity and a bulldozer with enough power. When you are ready, send me a WeChat message. Remember to come by yourself!"

"Understood! I'll be there in the afternoon!"

Big Iwan simply hung up the phone without asking any more questions. He understood that the more ambiguous Shi Quan was at this time, the more it proved that the tank dug up this time was extraordinary! In addition, he specifically pointed out the WeChat message, which was the only way the two of them were doing it for safety reasons.

A communication method that is only used when doing large transactions.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Quan drove the car deep into the bushes and hid it. He had to be careful at this time. He didn't want to cause trouble.

From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, until it was already dark, Big Ivan finally called.

"Brother, I have arrived in Kursk, where are you?"

“I’ll send you the location via WeChat!”

After hanging up the phone again, Shi Quan rechecked the SIG P210 held tightly in his hand.

He put this in his bag when he set out yesterday. He originally just wanted to play with it while digging for treasures, but now he has no choice but to use it for self-defense!

Fill the magazine that can only hold eight bullets, push the bullet and load it. This old gun, which has been dormant for more than half a century, is ready to go and can provide its new owner with accurate firepower at any time.

It wasn't that he couldn't trust Big Iwan, it was the wealth that moved people's hearts, and Shi Quan didn't want to bet his own life on Big Iwan's character.

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, the dark forest was illuminated by dazzling car headlights. A heavy-duty flatbed trailer pulled a half-new excavator onto an abandoned forest logging road.

After parking the car and turning off the engine, Big Ivan jumped out of the cab and walked towards Shi Quan.

"What did you find?"

As Big Ivan spoke, he raised his hands and showed them to Shi Quan, and at the same time threw the trailer key to Shi Quan from a distance.

This product is also thick and thin. Shi Quan also thought of what he thought. In this cold weather, he actually wore a pair of tight sports pants, and his upper body was a tight long-sleeved sea soul shirt. The body lines were clearly visible and at the same time straightforward.

It was to tell Shi Quan that he did not carry any weapons.

"Stop turning around, I'm not interested in your muscles."

Shi Quan felt slightly reassured and pointed to the bush road behind him, "I found a Leopard!"

"What's a Leopard? A Leopard? A Panther tank?"

Big Ivan reacted, and the boss with a long mouth said, "You mean the Panther tank? The German Panzer V tank? You read that right?"

"We'll find out when we dig it out later. I'll lead the way from the front, and you drive the bulldozer to clear the way out first."

"Good for you!"

Big Ivan was so excited that he punched Shi Quan's chest so hard that he almost fell off when he climbed onto the flatbed trailer.

Shi Quan led the way, and Big Ivan drove a bulldozer modified from a T34 tank chassis behind to quickly open up the passage. In less than an hour, a three-meter-wide forest clearing was cleared.

"This is it. Dig horizontally along the traces I just dug. The spatial structure inside is very fragile. You must be careful." Shi Quan stood on the side of the cab and pointed at the earth bag in front of him.

"Look at me!"

Big Ivan rubbed his hands and started to operate the bulldozer to clear the covering soil and the logs below.

This efficiency is much faster than Shi Quan's shovel. In just one cigarette, one end of the long soil bag was cut off, completely revealing the leopard style inside.

"Yuri, did you know? You found a treasure!"

Big Ivan murmured in shock. The space under the dirt bag was 4 meters wide and more than 15 meters deep. The huge Leopard tank was parked quietly in the middle of the underground space. The 75mm gun barrel with a diameter of 70 times was flat.

Pointing at the two brothers, even though more than half a century had passed, the two people standing in front still felt a shudder.

"Leopard type, it should be worth a lot of money, right?" Shi Quan murmured.

"Leopard?"

Big Ivan threw a Marlboro over with disdain, "This is not an ordinary Panther. Did you see the round muzzle brake? And this poor bald turret. If I admit it correctly, this is definitely

A Panther D-type!"

"Is this model special?"

Shi Quan asked doubtfully. He was satisfied that he could roughly recognize what kind of tank it was based on its appearance. It was incomparable to Big Ivan, a veteran who had been in the military circle for many years.

"Special? Of course special!"

Big Ivan climbed up the car body and kicked the hatch on the turret. "Leopard D type is the first model of the Panther tank. The first time the "Leopard" series of tanks participated in the battle was the Battle of Kursk, but

Due to the unreasonable design of some transmission structures such as gearboxes, only 534 units of this model were produced. It seems that the only Panther D type that can be found in the world today is a useless one in a museum in the Netherlands that cannot be started at all.

iron."

Big Ivan suddenly jumped off the tank, "Do you think it is possible for this Panther to start?"

"launch?"

Shi Quan didn't answer in a hurry, and first walked around the Leopard. He found that the Leopard was not intact.

The right crawler track was disassembled, and the repair work stopped before the broken road wheel could be completely removed. Using the bright headlights of the bulldozer, the brothers could even see the nuts that were only half tightened.

It is almost conceivable that the damaged Leopard may have suffered a major defeat shortly after it was sent to the maintenance point. The maintenance team and crew had only time to hastily bury the entrance and exit of the maintenance point. Since then, more than half a century has passed.

, they never had the opportunity to counterattack.

"Maybe it really has a chance to become the last Leopard D tank in the world that can still be activated, but the most important thing now is how to transport it home safely."

Shi Quan patted Big Ivan on the shoulder, "Don't forget, this is a big guy weighing 45 tons."

"That's easy to say. I'll clear the road first and then use a bulldozer to pull him out. Fortunately, this is a gentle slope. As long as you are careful, you can get it to the logging road without too much trouble."

Big Ivan exited the maintenance station and looked around at the surrounding terrain, "Find a way to put it on the car first, and we will do the rest later."

"Are you sure this bulldozer can pull 45 tons?"

"T34 is no worse than this big cat!"

Big Iwan confidently patted his chest and assured.

As if he was well prepared, this guy removed a set of pulleys from the butt of the bulldozer and fixed it on a waist-thick pine tree trunk 10 meters away. Then he used steel cables to assemble the tractor hook on the Leopard chest, the pulley set, and the bulldozer.

With the help of the pulley force distribution device, the bulldozer can easily exert three times its own pulling force.

Amidst the roar, the banana-thick steel cable gradually tightened, and the huge Panther shook off the dirt all over its body and slowly revealed its thick and long barrel!

While Big Ivan was operating the bulldozer to pull out the Leopard, Shi Quan was not idle either. He had already ventured into the maintenance station to look for other gains.

Not to mention, not only were spare road wheels and removed tracks found behind the Panther's butt, there was even a half-track motorcycle covered by canvas waiting for repairs!

This was an unexpected surprise. Shi Quan jogged all the way back to the logging road and turned around the flatbed trailer. The rear of the truck faced the temporary open space and lowered the trailer board.

The bulldozer pulled the Panther all the way to the back of the trailer while smoking black smoke, then untied the towing cable and pushed it onto the waiting flatbed trailer.

"Don't worry about the motorcycle for now, cover it with canvas first!"

Shi Quan called out to Big Ivan. In order to eliminate the outline of the tank, the brothers first cut down a lot of branches and piled them on the body of the tank, then covered them with a thick canvas and tied them tightly. Unless the canvas was lifted, no one would know that the trailer was on the road.
