Chapter 396 Relic Search
Three days later, Liang En, who had completed all the formalities and received various excavation tools from Greece, rented a car and headed west from Vienna to their destination.
Because the capital of Austria is located at the easternmost point of the entire Austrian territory, it took them five hours to arrive in Innsbruck, and then it took another three hours to reach Mittelberg on the German-Austrian border.
It was already 5 o'clock in the evening, and the sky was basically dark due to the high latitude in winter. Fortunately, they had already booked a room through the Internet in advance, so they checked into the resort hotel on the edge of the city smoothly.
Although it is a city, Mittelberg looks like a wealthy and prosperous town in terms of size and population, and Liang En's hotel is on the edge of the town. storey building.
As a city in the valley of the Alps, the altitude of this place is about 600 meters. Although the mountain is not steep, the temperature is still relatively low.
Liang En and the others, who were carrying big bags and small bags, didn't attract any attention when they checked into the hotel, because there are several good ski resorts around, so basically all the people who stay here this season are with such big bags.
Even hotels like this type have made some special modifications to welcome these guests who come here for skiing. For example, each room is equipped with a small storage room to store those ski equipment.
After putting everything away and standing on the balcony of the hotel, you will find that there are two places around you that are brightly lit even at night, which should be where the surrounding ski resorts are located.
According to the information Liang En checked before, although the ski resorts around here are not top-notch ski resorts, they are well-known in several surrounding countries.
Now it seems that the information is quite accurate. At least in Europe, only well-run ski resorts will open night ski resorts.
Because they drove all day, they didn't participate in the night party on the first floor, but went to bed early, and found that it was snowing outside the next day. Judging from the thickness of the snow, it should have fallen. night.
Considering that they might have to do a lot of physical labor today, Liang En and the others ate a breakfast including sausage, bread, cheese and fried eggs, and then walked out of the hotel with their luggage. Fortunately, the snow stopped at this time.
After leaving the hotel with their luggage, they quickly drove to a road that had been cleared of snow, but because of the snow last night, there was 3 to 4 cm of snow accumulated on the road.
Thanks to the fact that they had chosen an off-road vehicle, and that Fan Meng's driving skills were not bad in this situation, they finally arrived at their destination after driving for 20 minutes.
This is a simple building located on a hill. In the valley below the hill is an abandoned railway. The snow has completely covered the railway and the building, leaving only an outline on the ground.
"This should be an air defense fortification." After inspecting the building on the hill, Liang En quickly figured out what the building was.
However, after clearing away part of the covered snow and inspecting it carefully, Liang En found that although this building looked like a standard fortification of the German army in World War II, it was actually just an appearance.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of permanent fortification should be a reinforced concrete building, but now the whole building is only built with stones, wood and a small amount of cement, which looks full of shoddy taste.
"Now I feel that the information given by the Slovenians may be true." Fan Meng said at this time, "If I read correctly, this should be the position of light anti-aircraft artillery, and this type of permanent fortification is not It may be randomly built."
"You're right." Liang En looked at the crude air defense formation and said, "This kind of simple permanent fortification should have been built by the German army in the late World War II, and there should be a lot of places where air defense formations could be specially built in that period. important."
After finishing the survey work of this air defense position, Liang En and the others immediately walked down the hill on the other side of the hill, which was slightly steep and impassable for driving, and then walked towards the final target point along the abandoned railway.
During the march, they also quickly inspected this section of railway, and found that although this section of railway was an emergency railway laid during the war, the overall preservation condition is very good, and it is still barely able to allow trains to pass.
But when they reached the end of the railway, they found that the place where the tunnel entrance should have been was blocked by a pile of rubble, and they could not move forward.
"This was caused by blasting." As a professional, Fan Meng quickly saw what was going on here. "It is possible that the Germans planted explosives above the entrance of the tunnel when they abandoned it, and the entrance collapsed."
"How thick do you think this place can be?" Joan of Arc turned her head to look at Fan Meng and asked.
"5~7m, and it's the best situation when no one blasts the second time inside." After a simple inspection, Fan Meng gave an unoptimistic judgment, "In short, it is impossible for the three of us to explode." dug in."
Fan Meng's judgment made everyone a little frustrated, because they could only decide what to do next after confirming what was inside, but the current situation made them unable to be sure at all.
"I think we might need to go up and look for vents." After a few seconds of silence, Liang En suggested that it is impossible for this kind of tunnel system in the mountain to have no vents, so Liang En thought that they might be able to ventilate along the way. Mouth in.
But just as everyone started looking for a way to climb to the top of the hill, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from behind, and then an old man in an orange vest and carrying a rifle came out of the bushes.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
"May I ask who you are?" Looking at the old man, Liang En asked about his identity.
"I'm a forest ranger in this area. I saw your car parked there just now, so I came here to ask." The old man showed his ID and asked Liang En and the others to check with his mobile phone, and then asked again.
"This place is not a tourist attraction, what are you three doing here?"
"We're here to search for treasures." After confirming the old man's identity, Liang En showed the search certificate he had obtained before, and then stated his purpose. "The information we found said that there is a World War II train repair station in this place—"
"Yes, there is indeed a World War II train maintenance point here." The old man laughed after Liang En finished talking about his purpose. "But it's just a place to maintain the carriage, so there shouldn't be any steam engines or hidden treasures inside."
Clearly, the ranger knew something.So Liang En, who saw the cigarette case in the old man's coat pocket, immediately handed over a pack of good cigarettes, and then asked about the situation here.
It turned out that this place was just a simple car repair and transformation factory in the late World War II, and the hole was also bombed by American engineers after Germany surrendered in World War II.
"At that time, a platoon of U.S. troops entered the cave, and after checking that there were empty wagons and some messy facilities, they sent engineers to blow up the cave." The forest ranger explained.
"My father was there and determined that the Americans ended up leaving with a few pistols and a few knives, and maybe a few knick-knacks, but otherwise there wasn't much of value in there."
