Redemption of WWII

Chapter 8 Valley This chapter is free

Liu Qi led the team to follow the rope left by Cage and walked into the crevice of the mountain. 【】The mountain crevices are rugged and winding, and the wide places can be passed through, but the narrow places can only allow one person to pass sideways.From time to time, weathered gravel fell from his head.

Not far away, the body of an Italian soldier was lying on the road, and the obvious stones that had fallen from the top of the mountain lay quietly on the side.The helmet and head of the corpse are badly deformed, unfortunate fellow.

Liu Qi stopped and tore off the soldier badge from the soldier's chest.Then he said to the people next to him: "Write down the name of this soldier, so that his mother will know the news of his sacrifice. Remember to tell his mother that he did not feel pain when he died."

Yes, who has no mother.Who doesn't want their mother to know their news.The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles.Especially on the battlefield of this gun hole.The Italian soldiers next to him couldn't help their eyes getting wet.

After Liu Qi finished all this, he continued walking along the rope left by Cage.At this time, the light from above the crack gradually failed to reach the ground, and the front completely turned into a cave.Except for the torches lit by the team, which were still shining, everything else was pitch black.And Liu Qi's firm figure gradually grew taller in the eyes of the soldiers.The team with low morale seemed to have been injected with a dose of medicine, and it seemed to radiate a kind of spirit.

Liu Qi felt that all the white spots that had been mixed in the team had basically disappeared, leaving only a dark gray band of light.Liu Qi knew that the current army was really following his command.Can't help but feel secretly happy.Even the darkness oppressed and troubled Liu Qi a lot less.

No one spoke, Liu Qi was also feeling the infantry radar in his head, while walking forward with one foot high and one foot low.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Liu Qinao felt that the frontline soldiers stopped.

After a while, Cage came to Liu Qi from the front with a torch. "Colonel, the ground in front of us is full of quicksand. It's impossible to get through. Just now, the two soldiers at the front just stepped on it and sank. Fortunately, the rope on their bodies saved them."

"Oh? I'll go to the front." After speaking, Liu Qi followed Cage to the front of the line.

There was no danger on the flat sand surface, so Liu Qi picked up a fist-sized stone and still placed it on the sand in front of him.I saw that the sand seemed to come alive, and the stones slowly sank bit by bit, until finally the shadow of the stones disappeared, and the sand returned to its original flat state.

Liu Qi was also a little dizzy here.However, Liu Qi is also a graduate of the Engineering College, and has been with the construction team for more than half a year.It is not a problem to solve this problem.Liu Qi asked the soldiers to use steel nails to zigzag into the rocks on both sides, connect them with ropes, and finally lay wooden planks on top.The people walking on the wooden board dangling reminded Liu Qi of the small suspension bridge that he used to walk in the park when he was a child.

Originally, the marching speed in the dark was not fast, and the marching speed while laying the bridge was even slower.Liu Qi was worried, but it didn't show on the surface.Fortunately, the quicksand zone is only a few hundred meters away.In this way, the bridge-building soldiers in front were also tired and out of breath.

"Rest in place for an hour. Eat something before leaving." If Liu Qiyi left again, the soldiers' physical strength would not be able to keep up, so he ordered.

As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, both the German and Italian soldiers and the SS soldiers sat down on the ground.They took out rations and clear water and devoured them.Think about it, it is not an exaggeration to be tired and hungry from gathering at night and marching on foot until morning.

At this time, the SS guard next to Liu Qi also brought out food for Liu Qi, and Liu Qiyi was some bread and dried meat.So Liu Qi's first meal after crossing was held in this cave in Death Valley.

After breakfast, take a short rest.Liu Qi started a new march with his men.This time there was no quicksand terrain, but Liu Qi felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower, and the rocks on both sides could clearly show the continuous changes of the fractured rock formations.The road on the ground has also changed from sand to mud, but the soil on the ground is very muddy.There is a river underground very close to here.

It took 6 hours to walk, and I couldn't feel how far I went in the dark cave.In fact, Liu Qi had only walked a few kilometers in the cave, but there were no road signs, and the dark and depressing atmosphere made it impossible to tell the change of time and the length of the journey.

"School, the light is ahead, you may be going out soon." A soldier who was exploring the way in front shouted.

Liu Qi was stunned when he heard that, and finally he was about to leave this ghostly place.If you go on, it is estimated that some people will have a mental breakdown.Liu Qi quickened his pace while thinking about it.

The sound of rushing water came from a distance, and as it got closer to the bright place, the sound of rushing water became louder.Liu Qi thought to himself, there is no river here on the map, how could he hear the sound of such a huge river.When Liu Qi came to the entrance of the cave, Cage and a group of soldiers were all staring out of the cave, their eyes staring straight.

Looking up, a bucket-shaped valley appeared straight up and down.There is another hole less than 200 meters away from the hole, but all the water flows out of that hole, forming a waterfall that rushes straight up and down to the bottom of the cliff.There is also a big bottomless hole at the bottom.The water flowed into the hole without stopping.And Liu Qi and the others are now at the bottom of a cliff.More precisely, the waist of the cliff.Just under the entrance of the cave where Liu Qi stayed, there is a small path carved out of rock and slowly descends along the barrel-shaped stone wall.

Humans have been here before.The stone wall on the side is smooth and smooth due to the long-term infiltration of water vapor.

"Let's go, let's go down." Liu Qi said, and the group carefully walked down the path slowly.Everyone knows that if you fall from here, you will definitely die.After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally reached the bottom.I saw that the mouth of the bucket in the sky turned into a bright appearance the size of a bowl.There is a stone house near the rock wall at the bottom of the valley.The stone houses are all made of huge stones about one meter in length, and the surface of the stones is carved with exquisite characters.

Liu Qi couldn't help being a little disappointed when he arrived. He thought he was looking for a way to pass here.Unexpectedly, they found an ancient stone house.Liu Qi asked Cage, "Do you know what the patterned words on it mean?"

"Chief, I don't know. But I know someone who knows what it means. It's in our team." Cage replied.

"Oh! There are still such talents, call them to the front."

Not long after, Cage brought three Italian soldiers.He said to Liu Qi, "School, there are three. Two of them are the big and small Rossi brothers, and the other is Curtis, the curator of the Roman Museum, Philip and Ronan, the disciples of Professor Larch. As for the two brothers .” Cage lay down and whispered a few words in Liu Qi’s ear.

After listening to Cage's narration, Liu Qi couldn't help sighing.The glorious profession of tomb robber is really everywhere in the world.

It turned out that Mussolini had been dreaming of a great Roman Empire on the Earth Sea, expanding his army extremely.As a result, although the number of troops is extremely large, the quality is not flattering.And the Roman Museum also wants to take advantage of the occupation of other countries to rob and steal other countries' property.

So several teams composed of archaeologists, history professors, and professional tomb robbers were lined up in the armies of all the Italian-occupied countries in Earthsea.Known as the Special Matters Handling Squad, they are actually grave robbers.

But the Italian army is indeed unable to support the wall with mud.When Germany marched into France and France was defeated.The Italian command wanted to go down the mountain to pick peaches, and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the French rear.In the end, he was beaten to death by the three French border guards.In the Italian-style North African battlefield, hundreds of thousands of Italian troops were beaten all over the ground by 3 British troops.Almost gave a round of rice.

In the face of Mussolini's pitiful words of "for the sake of the party and the country, give me a hand" on the phone.Hitler was a little embarrassed, and he didn't want Mussolini, a veteran fascist and Axis teammate, to be cut too hard.So Rommel was sent to join the North African battlefield with the German regiment, which was considered to temporarily resolve Mussolini's crisis.

And Mussolini's great dream of Rome in spring and autumn also drifted away with the wind with the disappointment of the Italian army.Honestly picked up Hitler's rough back, and reported everything to Hitler early and late.And Hitler has all the face and face, so he is naturally very satisfied.And Rommel, Hitler's lackey-level general in the early days of World War II, also became the fastest-promoted military general in World War II, and he was also assigned a big cake.In just 2 years, he became a field marshal and became the military god of the German army.

But Rommel couldn't care less about the Italian army.When fighting, the Italian army is always used as cannon fodder, and when not fighting, the Italian army is used as labor.Therefore, although Rommel was the commander of the North African Army and was in charge of the German-Italian coalition forces, Rommel in the Italian army was a figure who was not loved by soldiers.

Rommel was also a die-hard conservationist, and he did not agree with the Italian army's excavation of the Egyptian pyramids at all.They even found fault and arrested several members of the Special Matters Handling Squad.However, for the older professors, Rommel let them go and did not lock them up.

Liu Qiyao had rushed to the stone house in front of the stone house to study the three people who had written on the wall.Exclaimed, it's really his mother's job to "do one job, love one job", even tomb robbers can be professional in archaeology.

Looking at Liu Qi's playful eyes, Cage whispered again, "The family of the big and small Rossi brothers is famous in the entire archaeological world. Their ancestors have found countless hidden secrets. In the 18th century, the pyramids in Egypt, the Taj in India Mausoleum, the Dunhuangization of the country, and the secret city in the South American jungle, their family has participated in the excavation. They have hidden treasures of countless ancient civilizations."

"How do you know?" Liu Qi took a puzzled look at Cage.

"Hehe, they are all my younger brothers in the prison. Without my care, their life in the prison will be very difficult." Cage replied.

"..." Liu Qiyu.
