Chapter 2958: Mauser 98K
After the first German anti-infantry landmine, Matisse and the others have discovered a dozen more landmines, including two anti-tank mines and a landmine modified with large-caliber artillery shells.
In addition, they also found two flap traps and a quicksand trap.
With the discovery of these mines and traps, the sandy land leading to the ancient pyramid in front of it suddenly became a battlefield, and everyone was like returning to World War II!
"Boom, boom, boom,..."
The sound of violent explosions kept resounding in this desert, deafening.
Every explosion of a landmine will blow up sand and dust, shrapnel will fly everywhere, and there will be a deep or shallow, large or small sandpit in the desert.
Fortunately, this place is located in the depths of the Sahara Desert, with no one inhabited, and no one passes by, so there is no need to worry about being discovered, thereby revealing the true location of Rommel’s treasure!
Several hours later, this desert was directly blown into the surface of the moon, and there were bunkers of different sizes everywhere!
However, the place where these bunkers are located has become very safe, so there is no need to worry about mines or traps!
When the time came to noon, Matisse and the others had advanced nearly two hundred meters and opened a safe passage about fifty meters wide!
However, this is less than half the distance. The pyramid covered with yellow sand in front is still more than three hundred meters away from them.
More importantly, the closer you get to the pyramid, the more landmines and traps are buried under the yellow sand, and the advancement speed is naturally slower!
In the process of clearing landmines and traps, Matisse, Seaman and others took turns to take turns, working in rotation to speed up the advancement!
Even so, working in an extremely hot, highly dangerous and stressful environment makes everyone feel very tired and everyone is thoroughly saturated with sweat!
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian could only stop, let everyone take a good rest, regain their energy and strength, wait until the afternoon to fight again, and continue to eliminate mines and traps.
After withdrawing from the front line, whether it was Matisse and Walker, or Seaman and others, they collapsed directly to the ground!
They didn’t even have time for lunch. After just adding a little fresh water, they slept to death on the sun loungers under the parasols, showing how tired they were!
While eating lunch, a historian from Harvard University asked suspiciously:
"Steven, since Rommel has buried a large number of gold and silver treasures in this unknown pyramid, he wants to take out the treasure in the future, should he leave a safe passage?
Can you just find a way to find the safe passage? You can go in along the safe passage instead of pushing with brute force like this. Eliminating mines and traps one by one is time-consuming and laborious! "
Ye Tian looked at the historian, then smiled and said:
"That's right, Rommel must have left a safe passage at the beginning to facilitate the transportation of this amazing treasure in the future, but he never returned. This so-called safe passage has long been insecure!
After more than 70 years, under the influence of sandstorm, many of the landmines that Rommel sent to plant at the beginning are estimated to be no longer in their original positions. They have long been carried away by quicksand and moved to other places.
The so-called safe passage is very likely to be buried with a lot of landmines. If we find that passage and believe that it is safe, I can guarantee that we will pay a huge price for it!
In other words, no place in this desert is absolutely safe. Faced with this situation, we can only move forward in a straight line in this way. This is the most direct and effective way! "
Hearing his explanation, the old Harvard historian's face suddenly blushed, somewhat embarrassed, he took it for granted!
Other experts and scholars who were also on the scene nodded and expressed their agreement!
Next, everyone was eating lunch while discussing the follow-up exploration actions.
After lunch, Ye Tian and David also lay on the sun loungers under the parasol to rest, as did the others in the joint exploration team.
When the time came to around 2:30 in the afternoon, the exploration started again!
In the following time, there was another deafening violent explosion in this desert, and the sky was full of dust and shrapnel!
This is also in the depths of the desert, surrounded by uninhabited people. If you change to any other place, people will think that the war has broken out, and they have fled in a hurry!
Soon, the time has come to around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Tian and David were sitting under a parasol and chatting, blowing the hot wind, enjoying the scenery of the Sahara Desert and the explosions in the distance. Matisse’s voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headphones.
"Steven, we found several boxes of German munitions under the sand, including several MG42 machine guns, a box of Mauser 98K rifles, and two boxes full of rifle bullets.
These munitions are brand new and have not been used. The MG42 machine guns and the Mauser 98K rifles are covered with a thick layer of butter and are tightly wrapped in oil cloth.
We checked the situation of these arms and supplies. The butter on those guns has dried up a long time ago, but as long as we find a way to wipe off the butter, these firearms more than seventy years ago can still be used!
How to deal with these German munitions? Is it to detonate directly with those mines, or to leave them behind? Although these gadgets are antique firearms, it is not economical to take them away! "
Hearing Matisse’s announcement, Ye Tian couldn’t help being interested, he would be boring!
"David, let's go and take a look, Matisse and the others found something interesting"
As he said, he got up from the deck chair and walked under the sand dunes.
David also felt a little bored, so naturally he would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately got up and followed.
After walking down the sand dunes, Ye Tiancai said through wireless invisible headphones:
"Matisse, these guns and ammunition left by the Germans, don't want to destroy them for the time being, they can be used as everyone's spare weapons, maybe they will be used!
Especially those MG42 machine guns, even in modern society, they are not outdated, they are also very terrifying big killers, we just need it! "
The voice fell, and Matisse immediately responded.
"Understood, Steven~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Maybe you will find other guns and ammunition left by the Germans in the future."
While speaking, Ye Tian and David had walked along the safe passage to Matisse's side, and they also saw the boxes placed on the sand!
As Matisse said, those boxes were filled with the standard weapons used by the Germans during World War II, as well as a large number of rifle bullets!
And those guns are covered with butter and wrapped in the gun jacket. Although they look mottled, every gun is intact!
As long as it takes a little time and energy to wipe the butter inside and out of those guns, and a little maintenance, these antique guns from more than 70 years ago can be rejuvenated and become a deadly weapon again!
Ye Tian approached and looked at the guns and ammunition, then asked Matisse to put on a pair of gloves, and then took out a buttered Mauser 98K rifle from the box, and enjoyed it!
"I always wanted to play with this famous World War II gun, but I never found a chance. I didn't expect to find a whole box of brand new Mauser 98K here. This is the Sahara Desert again. It seems that I can enjoy the addiction today. Up!"
said, Ye Tian pulled the bolt of the Mauser 98K and began to observe the situation in the barrel.
David standing on the side, looking at this world-famous gun, he can't help but feel a little itchy!
