Chapter 280: Escape Door
Another castle was also stationed by five people, and they also struggled in despair. When facing the gun, they gave up resisting, hoping to get out of here.
The US-Iran War broke out in 2003. The area where the initial progress was Basra, which captured it that day. That is to say, it has been almost two years since the beginning of the war, and the people in the castle have always been hiding here. They have lived until now on the food and water stored in the castle, and have no way to go and are trapped here.
Or they did not receive the order and did not know what they should do.
Xing Zhengrong and his group of three jumped off the water pipe and gathered with Du Baobao.
"Who knows where the water pipe leads?" The baby started asking.
This basin is a two-layer underground structure. The upper layer is a gun fortress, the middle layer is a separate layer supporting the tap water pipes, and the lowest layer is a storage warehouse. Storage includes food, water sources, ammunition, etc.
The tap water pipe may not necessarily pass through here, but it passes through here, occupying a single layer, and is designed to allow an adult to walk through calmly.
"I don't know where the lead is, we are just ordered to guard here." said a soldier.
"Have you fired a gun? Shoot out here?" Lei Peng, who walked to the upper floor, asked, touching the muzzle of the gun that could shoot out.
This is a heavy-duty M2 Browning heavy gun, firing 12.7x99mm large-diameter ammunition, adopting the short recoil-type working principle of the barrel and the latch-type locking structure. It adopts the water cooling method, and there is a water barrel for heat dissipation outside the barrel, adopting the short recoil-type working principle of the barrel and the latch-type locking structure.
The 12.7mm caliber Browning heavy gun was developed in 1918 based on the structure of the 7.62mm caliber m1917 Browning heavy gun in accordance with the requirements of the US Expeditionary Force. When it was finalized in 1921, it was named the 0.50-inch m1921 heavy gun, equipped with a water-cooled heat dissipation device.
In 1932, an improvement was made, using an air-cooled barrel, which reduced the mass, called the 0.50-inch Browning M2 heavy gun. In 1933, it was further improved to solve the problem that the barrel of continuous shooting was prone to overheating and improved it to become a heavy barrel type, named as the 0.50-inch Browning M2HB heavy gun.
Since then, the gun has been widely used by many countries around the world. In addition to mass production in the United States, many countries such as the United Kingdom and Belgium have also been widely used as heavy ground support weapons, anti-aircraft weapons, aviation weapons and vehicle-mounted weapons.
The burial here uses this kind of heavy gun. It can be said that as long as these two heavy guns are here, no matter how many ground troops you have to attack head-on, you cannot move forward, even if you use corpses to build them!
But Lei Peng observed the barrel and the rifle and shooting and found that the M2 large caliber heavy gun had never fired a single shot.
"No." The soldier shook his head and said, "We have not received the order."
Lei Peng looked at Du Baobao and nodded slightly at her.
Obviously, these two castles are not used to block the enemy's attack at all, but to cut off the back. There is enough food and water stored here, and it is waiting for it when one day needs to be used.
"Very good. Now all you have to do is climb into the water pipe and keep climbing forward. When you climb to the end, you will see our people. After seeing our people, you will be saved, you will be free, and you will no longer have to stay in this dark place. Do you understand?" Du Baby stopped talking nonsense to these soldiers, pointing at the broken pipes and letting them leave.
"But we haven't received the order yet..." an officer said hesitantly.
"The order will not come, because Iraq has been captured. Your leader, Mr. Saddam, was arrested and the famous Republican Guard has been defeated."
Hearing this fact, a group of soldiers showed extremely painful expressions on their faces, and it seemed difficult to believe this fact.
"You are free." Du Baobao walked forward and patted the officer's shoulder and said, "I believe that you who are free will be the eagles flying heads and fight the most heroic fight against any invader who invade your motherland. Because you are soldiers, the bravest soldiers of the Republic Guard in Iraq! We are soldiers, so we understand you. Go, the eagles of the Republic Guard, you are free! Remember, the eagles of the free eagles will never surrender, and the soldiers of the motherland will never surrender, because this is for the country."
Ding Dong pointed at the disconnected tap water pipe and rushed to the officer's affirmative focus.
The officer looked at Du Baobao blankly, slowly raised his right hand and saluted her, and took his men into the tap water pipe to leave here.
This is a group of soldiers who don’t know what they are insisting on. For two years, they are waiting for an order. But what is waiting for is the news of the fall of Iraq, and what is waiting for is the news of the defeat of the troops and the arrest of the head of state...
When they saw someone coming in despair, they chose to surrender and wanted to convince themselves to be liberated in this way. Just for one command, a command that will never come.
"Continue to move forward." Du Baby issued an order.
The six people were divided into two routes again and continued to move forward along the tap water pipe until they reached the end and could no longer move forward.
At the end is the reservoir at the station. The reservoir has a valve that is responsible for cutting off the supply of tap water. This valve is now abandoned because there is no longer any tap water supply.
As the valve was abandoned, Du Baobao and his group could not continue to move forward when they reached the end of the water pipe. Because the wide valve was controlled from the outside and could not be opened inside, unless it was subjected to directional blasting with explosives.
But this is definitely not a wise choice. Once the explosion sounds, the 101st Airborne Division troops at the station will be awakened and attack them violently.
It is even more unworkable to give up selecting a link point of the water pipe through the valve, because there is a reinforced concrete structure around it. The reinforced concrete wraps the tap water pipe firmly, and even the bomb cannot be penetrated.
"This is an escape path for important targets." Du Baobao narrowed his eyes gently and ordered: "Search for the surrounding area, there must be an escape door."
This is speculation, because many signs indicate that this sewer pipe is an escape route without any accidents.
"This is empty." Sun Huxiong made a sound.
The flashlight gathered at the same time at the place where Sun Huxiong touched his palm. It was a smooth steel plate that blended into the pipe, and there was no trace of patchwork.
