The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 1907: Something that can confirm identity

"The treasure hunt of an antique dealer (

A Red Army sergeant died heroically in the Great Patriotic War. His body lay silently in this swamp forest for half a century before being discovered.

who is he?

how old is he?

What have you experienced?

Where are his hometown and relatives?

No one knows!

The Red Army did not use metal identity cards back then. Instead, each person issued a small sealed cylinder into which he could put a small note stating his name, troop number and blood type, or each person wrote it by himself.

Over time, the sealed environment of the cylinder was destroyed, and the small note was easily wiped out, and there was no clue to find its true identity.

Like in the swamp area, although some small cylinders on the remains of the Red Army were found, after opening, there was only a cylinder of water inside!

In fact, according to Alexandrov, even if an undamaged identity bucket is found, it is often empty or just a blank note.

Especially the Russian fighters, who were actually very taboo about this year and month, always felt that writing something and putting it in the identity bucket was like leaving a last word, unlucky!

Nowadays, all military contractors of the United Forces will wear stainless steel metal identity cards designed by the company on their necks when performing military tasks.

This is not the suggestion of the first batch of American employees: everyone is a contractor and not a national army. What kind of ID badge do you need?

It was the proposal of brother-in-law Xiang Weirong.

During the battle in 1979, one of his apprentices was bombed into a pile of minced meat, only half of his pocket was recovered, and the two collar badges with his blood type, name, and unit number on the back were not found.

If the comrades were not nearby, who would know the identity of this pile of minced meat!

At that time, when the Huaxia Army collected the martyrs, the standard procedure was: tear off two red collar badges, conditionally wipe off (this is basically impossible under actual combat conditions), and take the martyrs if there are no conditions. The army green blanket he carried with him wrapped his body.

It was a thin blanket of very good quality. The troops who participated in the war said that "a blanket is alive, and a coffin when it is dead." That's it.

If you can't find a blanket in your belongings, try to find a piece of it. There is no way to use the white cloth directly and put it in the body bag.

There is a small pocket on the front of the body bag, which is used to hold the two collar badges.

After receiving the remains of the martyrs in the Temporary Martyrs’ Cemetery at the rear, they first took out the two collar badges from the small pockets, registered them, and then buried the remains.

There are basically no coffins, because three days before the war, the coffins donated by the people in the border counties enthusiastically ran out!

Finally, write the identity information of the martyrs with a brush on a prepared wooden board, and insert it in front of the grave, which is considered temporary completion.

As for the solemn and solemn martyrs' cemetery built by cement, that was after the war.

Later, after demobilization and watching imported film and television dramas, Xiang Weirong realized that in the Western military, identification cards are generally used. He felt that this is a good thing that cannot be burnt, and generally cannot be broken.

After the joint force became large, he mentioned this matter, which became a rule set by the company.

This will continue to be cleaned up. In addition to the sergeant rank mark and the tattered pair of German military boots, the unknown martyr also left an uncorrupted pipe, thirty rusty bullets, a lunch box, and everything else. no.

Where's the spoon?

Sorry, the Red Army had a "Large Spoon Order" that reminded soldiers not to forget to bring a large spoon for eating and drinking soup. As a result, everyone basically brought the big spoon that they used to use at home.

Soldiers born in the countryside have been accustomed to using wooden spoons since they were young, and unless they travel long distances, they can just tuck the spoon into the boots after eating, which is very convenient.

You don’t have to worry about it if you use it. Just find a piece of wood that you can make, and cut it out with a knife. Anyway, since childhood, Russian rural boys have basically used this craft.

It doesn't matter if it's not good-looking, just use it easily and conveniently.

Just so little things, the remains were gathered, and the relics were packed together, and Andre proposed to prepare a coffin for the martyrs later.

"Notify the folks in the city to book more, which is probably a lot." Zhang Nan looked around and said.

There are quite a few, and several have been found nearby, but they haven't been completely dug up yet.

As for the more distant areas nearby, God knows how many more.

The sacrifice sergeant had no one to bury him, and the bones found nearby were also very shallow from the current landmark. Obviously, the battle and the situation were extremely tense.

After the battle, the two sides, or at least the Germans, ignored the remains of the Red Army sacrificed.

Judging from the damaged guns and ammunition left, neither side even has the energy and time to clean the battlefield at will.

Gathered here and continued digging over there. Soon, the famous man who participated in the cleanup raised his hand and said loudly with joy: "There is a red flag medal!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan walked over quickly.

The Red Flag Medal, the first Soviet-Russian medal, if it were from the Patriotic War era, is now worth a bit of money in the collector's market.

Zhang Nan likes that kind of medal very much. He thinks that the phrase "Proletarians all over the world unite!" on the red flag of the medal is very powerful, even though he would be the world's largest property owner!

Is that guy shouting loudly because he is happy because the medal is valuable?

Do not!

Because the Red Flag Medal is numbered ~www.readwn.com~ Whoever received the medal, according to the stamp number, can find the corresponding record in the Russian archives, which can determine the identity of the victim.

A few people would walk over and take a look. The red flag medal they found was on the left chest of the martyr. The surface had lost the luster of the year, but it was still so eye-catching.

Its appearance shows that the German army never swept the battlefield, otherwise the grassroots German soldiers would not let go of such a trophy.

For the German soldiers at the time, a red flag medal can not only be a good souvenir, but also can be exchanged for cigarettes, wine, and food.

In addition, the main body is still silver, and the material itself is worth a bit of money.

Silver has a little economic value no matter what.

Ask the cleaning guy to take out the medal and look at the back. After removing the soil, wash it with mineral water. You can see the row of Arabic numerals on the top and the five digits starting with 2.

In the early digital field, this one will soon cease to be an unsung hero.

After continuing to clean up, they found military rank marks. Except for the corroded copper arms identification marks, there was a rectangular red enamel on each side. This was a Red Army captain.

The original Soviet soldiers all saluted the remains of the martyrs, but no one said anything.

I said it once before. Although it was not for this captain, if the Red Army martyrs who stayed around here were really alive, they would all understand.

One body after another was dug up, and Zhang Nan didn't plan to look at it anymore.

This is too much, it doesn't matter to me, but my daughter is still watching the fun!

Don't talk about metaphysics, let's be practical. If the housekeeper at home knows this situation, it will be a headache to be chanted.
