Chapter 2048 Welcome to the Underworld

This tunnel looks very complicated. To be precise, it is much longer than Malashenko imagined, and it looks more complicated and solid.

At this point, it is obvious that the 75mm cannon of the Black Panther II cannot handle it. Even if the Red Army's own 152mm cannon comes over, even if one cannon is sent through the window to accurately send the shell into the tunnel entrance and blow it up.

According to Malashenko's experience, even if the sky is broken, at most a small part of the tunnel entrance will be destroyed. It is a problem whether the broken bricks and tiles and the collapsed ruins can be buried to the current position, not to mention hurting the people inside or destroying some underground equipment.

What's more terrible is that the tunnel is obviously not almost finished here. There is at least a distance of about ten meters ahead before it reaches the end.

Such a tunnel can appear in such a place, which really surprised Malashenko.

Is it worth it to build such a complicated underground project for the control of a bridge? What is the German thinking? Or is there something fishy that he doesn't know about?

Malashenko couldn't figure it out, and it was inevitable that he was confused and puzzled. The best way to solve it was to ask directly.

"Adam, what's the matter with this tunnel? Was it built by our engineering corps specifically for the control of the bridge?"

Malashenko spoke directly, revealing his doubts without any concealment. Now is indeed not the time to lie.

In the face of Malashenko's question, Major Adam, who had already expected such a question, just smiled, and then spoke without thinking.

"Of course not, this project is not ordinary. The control of the Central Bridge is important, but it is not so important that we have to build such a large and complex underground project for it. This is just the result of local use."

"Local use?"

Malashenko accurately captured the key words in Major Adam's words and realized something.

Major Adam nodded slowly, and continued to lead the way forward with Lieutenant Colonel Victor beside him, while continuing to add to his words.

"This small building originally belonged to a famous wealthy nobleman in Warsaw. He had many properties in Warsaw, and this is just one of them. I don't remember his name, but when I led the team to take over the defense of the bridge, the old man and his entire family had already passed away."

"According to the SS soldiers who were in charge, the owner of the small building, that old man, was an old bastard who secretly supported the resistance forces and guerrillas. He used all the wealth accumulated by his family over the years as funds to support those rebellious bastards to fight against us, and repeatedly caused trouble for us. It is not an exaggeration to say that his hands are stained with the blood of our soldiers."

The long tunnel came to the end, and at the end there were two soldiers holding MP40 submachine guns guarding it.

Major Adam did not lie. Even when the situation was most critical and manpower was most needed, he did not withdraw even one person from the crucial basement to provide ground support. It goes without saying how important the gate guarded by these two soldiers is.

"Open the door and let us in."

Major Adam gave the order without much nonsense, and the two soldiers in charge immediately followed the order after saluting. The gate was thus opened in front of Malashenko, while Major Adam on the side continued to tell the story that he had not finished just now.

"The SS security forces captured an important member of the resistance organization. After a severe torture, he confessed everything he knew. He betrayed everyone he could, and the next thing was very simple."

"The old man was on the SS death list, ranking third after the chief and deputy leaders of the resistance organization. As expected, the SS quickly dispatched to arrest his entire family. After a round of interrogation, they were all dragged to the city square and hanged to death. No one was spared from the whole family, from the 78-year-old man to the 6-year-old girl. The body was hung in the square with a sign around its neck for a whole week and became smelly. Flies and bedbugs buzzed around it all day long. Only then were a few Polish ghosts who worked odd jobs to clean it up and bury it."

"When a person dies, the family property will naturally be confiscated. The old man's son was timid and afraid of trouble. Before he died, he told the secret of this small building."

"The family originally used this small building as a resistance group This is the base of the organization. It is said that this tunnel and the basement room at the end were built by their ancestors to hide treasures, store food, and prevent banditry and war. It has been more than a hundred years now. "

"The underground space is large and the ventilation system is also very complete. Everything was built more than a hundred years ago. If there is enough water and food, this place can allow a platoon of people to hide in and live underground for at least a month. I was also surprised when I first came here. "

"Because it is close enough to the bridge, the engineering corps thought it was very suitable to be the node for the setting of the bridge security system after investigation. The safety and concealment are perfect. They laid the detonator and wires from the bridge pier all the way underground. When they got here, they also made a second repair and reinforced and upgraded it according to military standards. This is what we see now. "

Major Adam's introduction continued, and Malashenko was of course listening attentively.

However, compared to Major Adam introducing the past and history of this place in detail like a tour guide, after entering the room, Malashenko obviously cared more about what he saw with his own eyes.

For example, the bright mechanical device placed on the table in the corner. The boss has a T-shaped push-pull lever that clearly proves the function of this device: to detonate explosives, just press it hard.

"Is that that thing? The detonating device of the bridge?"

Malashenko did not waste any time and chose to ask straightforward questions to Major Adam standing aside.

"Yes, sir. This is the main detonating device. In addition, there is a manual backup detonating device secretly set up under the bridge pier. But it cannot be controlled remotely and needs to be used manually. According to the tasks assigned to you by your superiors, I I think this is what you need to see with your own eyes, there will be no problem, everything is safe here.”

Major Adam tried his best to cooperate with Malashenko's mission. After figuring out all this, Malashenko stretched one hand to his satchel to take out something. At the same time, he turned his head towards Major Adam and asked again. He spoke.
