Without walking far, Wei Ran took out a portable magnifying glass from his pocket and carefully observed the stars one by one.

In fact, it didn't have to be like this at all. He had already recognized that this was the barrel of the anti-tank gun he had repaired. And with the help of a magnifying glass, he could clearly see that the stars in front were still drawn with some traces of paint.

There are subtle lines left when the feathers are painted, and the four at the back are obviously painted more hastily, so that the sizes cannot be consistent.

"Can you tell anything from this gun barrel?" Saveli, who was watching the excitement, asked curiously.

"This barrel should not be forged by Federer"

Wei Ran said and handed the gun barrel in his hand to Saveli, "I want to go home first to check some information. Saveli, these weapons, especially this barrel, will be under your temporary care."

"Do not worry"

Saveli took the barrel of the gun and pointed at the machine gun not far away, "With such a big killer, no one dares to come over and do anything."

"It is not used to target your own people..."

Wei Ran muttered something in Chinese that the other party could not understand, then got into the car again and drove the car in the direction of the holiday cabin.

"Why are you back so soon?" Just as he drove the car into the yard, Suisui came up and asked curiously.

"Get ready, let's go back to Kazan." Wei Ran said in Chinese.

"Back to Kazan?" Suisui, who also switched to her native language, was stunned, "When?"

Weiran added, "But after I get back, I may have to leave for Bryansk immediately."

"It's so round...oh——!"

Suisui immediately understood Wei Ran's plan and lowered her voice and asked, "Are you planning to avoid Mr. Alexander?"

"You are the only one who is smart"

Wei Ran smiled and said, "Let everyone pack their things. How about we leave tonight?"

"no problem!"

Suisui snapped her fingers happily, turned around and ran into the room, telling Lu Xinda and others to pack their luggage now.

The process of "escaping" from Volgograd naturally went smoothly. Even until the next day, when Weiran took his dog Beria and landed in Bryansk on a flight, he did not receive a call from Mr. Alexander.

After calling Suisui to report that they were safe, Weiran threw his mobile phone and satellite phone into a food box filled with various condiments and left them there, then took Gouzi and got into a car rented through Ji Ma.

The cheap van left Bryansk under the guidance of the navigation system and drove to the forest outside the city, and finally stopped at the end of a logging road that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

This place is about five kilometers away from one of the coordinate points provided by the metal book, and the middle is full of tall red pine forests and thick shrubs.

Coupled with the spring season at the end of March, the biggest danger here obviously comes from the various wild animals in the forest - whether they eat meat or are in heat.

"You have to prick your ears."

Wei Ran patted Beria's dog's head, and then untied the muzzle that bound it all the way.

When the dog had enough activity of shaking his head, wagging his tail and sticking his butt out, Wei Ran also took out the Ithaca 37 shotgun from the Papua New Guinea battlefield from the metal book, loaded the bullet with a "click", and then took it back.

In a metal book.

Pulling Beria's leash, Wei Ran walked slowly into the tall red pine forest under the guidance of the GPS. At the same time, he also observed everything around him, trying to find something familiar - until he

I discovered the creek still flowing with gurgling mountain springs.

Putting away the GPS, Wei Ran led the dog and silently walked deeper along the creek until he saw the rusty gun truck hidden in the newly sprouted bushes.

Today, more than half a century later, only the steel frame and rusty cast iron parts of this gun truck that originally belonged to Father Doferro are left, while the iron sheets and wooden parts on the body have all decayed.

, even the remaining skeleton is half-buried by the stream and covered with dead vines.

With a silent sigh, Wei Ran led Beria up the slope not far away, following his memory to the vicinity of the diatomaceous earth shack.

Nowadays, the huge tree stump and lying dead trees are no longer visible here, but the shack that was originally located in the canopy is particularly conspicuous. The iron-wrapped wooden board has been lifted aside and thrown aside, and there are even people surrounding it.

Traces of excavation.

Squatting at the entrance of the cave, he took out a flashlight and shone it in. Wei Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Inside, he could see a table and a simple little bed. On the table was a disassembled Momo

The Cinagan rifle and the gun repair tools that Father Doferro once used, and several boxes in the corner also contained various gun parts that were covered with dust.

In addition, there are a large number of animal bones, pine needles and weeds scattered on the dusty floor of this shack, and it is filled with the unique fishy smell of brown bears. Fortunately, the brown bear owner is not at home at this time

, but it avoids hurting each other.

After some thought, Wei Ran tied the dog's leash to the branch of a pine tree not far away, and walked alone to the door of another shack.

He took out the engineering shovel and carefully cleared away the weeds. Then he shoveled away the floating soil bit by bit, and finally dug out a wooden board that was also wrapped with iron sheets and smeared with a layer of white diatomaceous earth.

However, when he lifted the wooden board and saw the situation in this shack, he couldn't help but stop.

In this shack reinforced by logs, there were only three simple coffins made of wooden boards, and a table also made of logs. On the table, which was not too big, there was also an enamel box with a lid.

Bucket. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put on his gloves, bent down and walked in holding a flashlight.

Under the light of the flashlight, he could clearly see that the names of David, Vlas and Alyosha were written in red paint on the three coffins.

Gently lift the lid of the enamel bucket. There are not many things inside. There is a wooden plug blocking the mouth, a Soloton long bullet shell with red paint remaining on the outside, a plastic book, and a

There are medals and matching certificates carefully placed inside, as well as the backpack that once belonged to Commissar Vigna and the pocket watch that once belonged to Father Doferro.

Taking out these things one by one and placing them on the table, Wei Ran opened the plastic book and found that it was a photo album. The photos in it were of Platoon Leader Taras and Political Commissar Zinovi who had led

Those guerrillas, including Vinia and Father Doferro, and the individual photos and group photos he took of the new guerrillas before the white light that sent him back lit up.

Without exception, the corresponding names and addresses are written next to these photos, as well as the words "to be sent" or "returned" or even "no address found" or "unreceived".

When he turned to the single photo of Political Commissar Vinya holding a machine gun, he found that what was written next to it was "On September 17, 1943, we finally liberated Bryansk, but the war is not over yet."

A line of delicate Russian handwriting.

Almost subconsciously, Wei Ran also remembered Commissar Vinia's last request before he died. He hoped to wait until the war was over before sending his things back...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when will the war end...

Wei Ran gently closed the photo album while sighing, and then opened the backpack of political commissar Vinia.

It was the same as the contents he saw when he secretly looked through the backpack when he was digging the position. Except for the extra pistol that once belonged to political commissar Vigna, there was still a light and weightless lunch box and a plastic notepad inside.

And a tin jar filled with coarse salt, and a small photo frame with a metal shell as big as a palm.

In this photo frame, the young political commissar Vinya is wearing a Soviet uniform, with a happy face hugging a petite young woman. In the woman's arms, she is also holding a baby who seems to have been born not long ago.

Putting the photo frame aside, Wei Ran opened the salt shaker again. There was still a piece of bacon buried in coarse salt, as well as some corroded low-level medals.

Finally opening the plastic-covered notebook, Wei Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists. There was still a letter folded into a triangle without any signature or address, and a pen whose ink had long dried up.

But in this notepad, there is a detailed list of the meritorious service performed by soldiers of an assault platoon under the Second Guards Cavalry Division, as well as the distribution of low-level medals and even death in action.

He is also a political commissar...

Wei Ran gently closed the notepad, then put all the things that belonged to him, even the few pieces of medals that belonged to him, into the still sturdy canvas pocket bag, tied it carefully, and then put the rest of the things

Put it back into the enamel bucket and put the lid on.

After finishing all this, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the loose soil at the door, took out his harmonica, and played the gun jam accompaniment again.

When the song ended, he left the shack that was used as a tomb, carrying the canvas bag that belonged to Commissar Vinya, and carefully re-covered the entrance to the cave.

After putting Commissar Vinya's backpack into his own bag and carrying it on his back, Wei Ran looked up at the sky above his head, then led his dog, and with the help of GPS, walked to another place in the forest several kilometers away.

A coordinate point.

However, even without GPS guidance, he already knew exactly that the location marked by another coordinate point was undoubtedly the abandoned mine.
