Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The Ruger artillery pistol was indeed an unexpected surprise, because during the previous inspection, Liang En found that all of the firearms were basically mass merchandise, so he couldn't find any good guns among them.

In fact, when he first heard that there were more than a thousand guns here, Liang En was excited, thinking that he could find doomsday weapons like the People's Pistol, the People's Rifle, or those craft gift pistols inlaid with gold and silver.

After all, the treasure hunting novels and treasure hunting movies he had read before were all played out like this. After discovering the crispy treasure, you would always find some very rare and equally precious weapons.

So in the past two days, when Liang En was studying the treasures of the Legion Bank, he also asked the security personnel of the White Knights to help him identify the firearms to see if there were any treasures inside.

In the end, he was greatly disappointed by the facts. After a simple inventory of the thousands of guns here, they were able to determine that these were all practical firearms. Although the guns were in good condition, they were not of high quality.

But think about it, after all, this is not a treasure house, but a secret arsenal prepared for the guerrillas, so naturally they will not keep firearms that are not suitable for combat.

Therefore, there are naturally no craft guns or prototype guns that are difficult to use and maintain. The only non-military weapons are more than 60 well-made shotguns.

Judging from the practical appearance of these shotguns, they should all be practical weapons. There is a high probability that they exist here because civilian guns are easy to supply in terms of ammunition supply and are convenient for guerrilla warfare.

For this reason, Liang En and the others did not find the stg44, a famous assault rifle at the end of World War II, because the bullets in that gun were so special that it was not an easy task to find the bullets.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Fan Meng asked Liang En after he admired the pistol for a while and put it back into its holster. "The explosive ordnance disposal team asked me to ask you about those bullets."

The ammunition found this time included bullets in addition to cannonballs. Unlike cannonballs, bullets were allowed to be taken away by qualified finders, so Fan Meng had this problem.

"Forget the bullets. I've seen that the bullets here are in average condition before. It's acceptable if they're just dumb bullets, but it'll be troublesome if they explode." Liang En shook his head and said.

He had checked those bullets before and found that they were in very average condition. If used, these bullets would be equally dangerous to the user and the target.

More importantly, the bullets here are all common ammunition, such as 9mm Parabellum bullets, 7.92mm Mauser rifle bullets or 7.65mm Browning pistol bullets.

They can easily buy new varieties of these bullets at low prices, and there is no need to risk their lives using these ancient bullets.

However, not all old bullets are so cheap. For example, the Hummingbird pistol bullets sold by Liang En before cost sixty or seventy pounds per shot, because those bullets are too rare.

In fact, there were similar products during World War II, such as the 7.92×33mm rifle short bullet used in the stg44 assault rifle mentioned earlier. The original bullet that can be fired is worth as much as 40 to 50 US dollars.

The main reason for this situation is that this kind of bullet was discontinued after the end of World War II. In the 1960s, almost all the original bullets were fired. The United States, which likes firearms the most, once manufactured them in small batches, but stopped because the demand was too small. production line.

What's more important is that the directivity of this bullet is too obvious, so after the US law banned assault weapons, the production of this bullet was also banned.

Therefore, people who need to use this kind of rifle bullets now have only two options to choose from, either to find extremely rare original bullets, or to modify them with Mauser rifle bullets.

Compared with this rare bullet, other bullets are more common, such as Parabellum bullets and Browning pistol bullets, which are in mass production today.

As for Mauser rifle bullets, they have been produced since World War II. It was not until Yugoslavia before its disintegration in 1992 that the last batch of military Mauser rifle bullets was produced.

However, in addition to regular military version rifle bullets, considering the number of firearms using this type of rifle bullets, there are a large number of small factories producing this type of bullets, and this is still the case today.

Therefore, for Liang En, it is better to hand these bombs to the local military explosive ordnance disposal team like the artillery shells and poison gas bombs, instead of taking these dangerous things home.

That afternoon, when Liang En was planning to inspect all the unearthed organic items in one go, Fan Meng walked in again and handed him a green folder.

The outer layer of this folder is made of leather, with a hot-gilt crispy eagle logo on it. However, the yellowed papers inside are completely stuck together due to contamination with something.

"We found this thing next to the body of the highest-ranking officer inside, and we also found a pen beside it, so we think it is very likely that the other person recorded something in the last moments of his life."

After watching Liang En carefully put the folder into a special operation box filled with nitrogen, Fan Meng told Liang En the entire discovery process.

"Then let's take a look. Maybe there is really what we want inside." Liang En motioned Fan Meng to stand next to him, then he sat on the stool next to the operation box and began to operate carefully.

With the help of a series of special tools, he quickly opened the folder and separated the yellowed and brittle files inside one by one.

As the files were separated, the contents inside were revealed. At first, they were all black printed information, but as he flipped through the pages, he was surprised to find that the back sides of the last two blank pages were filled with text.

After a simple translation, Liang En's blackened blue ink handwriting showed the last period of this secret base. As they had judged before, this was indeed a secret guerrilla base.

According to the plan, various weapons and ammunition that can be used by the two battalions and everything needed will be stocked here. It's a pity that Germany was close to defeat at that time, so it could only store what it could.

For example, this is the case with those seemingly inexplicable artillery shells. According to the telegram in front of the folder, these artillery shells are used as raw materials for the production of various improvised explosives.

In addition, they also found a lot of metal processing tools and bullet reloading equipment from under the pair of boxes. From this point of view, the other party has indeed made all the preparations they can.

As for the treasures from the Legion Bank, it was also an accident. Originally, these things were planned to be stored in another mine specifically for hiding treasures. However, a vital road was bombed by US bombers, so these cars could only be temporarily hidden here. .

But what I didn't expect was that due to the subsequent accident, these cars and the people who came with them all stayed here permanently. Until Liang En searched all the way here by chance and finally found these things.

This was also a blessing for Liang En, because the treasure mine mentioned in the folder was later discovered by the Americans. In that case, it would not be Liang En's turn to hunt for the treasure.
