■ As of February 4, 2022, I wrote the "Great Wall Line (190) Suizhong Drum Mountain No. 2 Enemy Platform to the Great Wall Line (199) Suizhong Golden Bull Cave Stone Wall", which lasted for nearly 1 month, and sorted out 238 pictures taken, and compiled 10 headline pictures of the 2 beacon towers and 5 enemy platforms, as well as 2 sections of walls and 2 stele. In fact, the formation of these 10 pictures and texts is the result of three field explorations and crossings across two years, the first time was on April 11, 2020, with Lingnan Renjia and other 4 people to explore the stone box mouth and the Golden Bull Cave, the second time was October 30, 2021, with Huludao "Yixin Outdoor" a group of 62 people rushed through the basswood to the Great Wall of the Vines Section, the third time was December 4, 2021 with Huludao "Great Wall Outdoors" and 18 people crossed the Vine Grass to the Golden Bull Cave Section of the Great Wall. The overall characteristics of this section of the Great Wall are summarized as follows:
First, the enemy platform with different shapes and systems
The section of the Great Wall in the relevant information shows that there should be 8 hollow enemy platforms, the existing relatively complete enemy platforms have 5, its common feature is that the arrow window coupons are "no volt double arch, lower arch inward" construction, the second is that the whole body of the platform is built without eaves; only 3 can enter the inner chamber to explore the end, the inner chamber is a "back" shaped construction, surrounded by a carport arch cloister, which has a rectangular carport arch coupon room, and a "curved ruler-shaped" climbing stairway in the southeast corner of the coupon room; but it is different in terms of appearance and façade construction.
1. Enemy platform with well-preserved number plate: 3 of the 5 enemy platforms in this section of the Great Wall still have existing number platform plaques but the handwriting is unclear and unrecognizable, all of which are the enemy platforms of the vine grass No. 1-3, which can really be described as the "pattern of the vine grass".
▲ The west platform of The No. 1 enemy platform is set up in the center of the door, and there is still a plaque on the door.
▲ Cranberry No. 2 enemy platform, the west platform body is centered in the door, and there is still a plaque on the door.
▲ Cranberry No. 3 enemy platform, with a door in the center, an arrow window on the left and right, and a plaque on the door.
In addition, the only two enemy platforms with inlaid number plates and brick frames are Linden Chong and Gushan No. 2 Enemy Platforms. However, on April 11, 2020, the door pier stone slab of a peasant family in Bianwai Village was accidentally found, and after flipping it over, it was found that it was a plaque engraved with 4 large italic characters of "Gulu Shu Xue", which was confirmed to be the plaque of Gushan No. 2 Enemy Platform, which is a fortunate windfall, if this plaque is not used as a door pier stone slab, it must be like the well-preserved plaque of the 3 enemy platforms of the vine grass but it has been weathered and eroded to be illegible!
▲The basswood is set in the center of the platform on the south side of the enemy's tai, and there is a arrow window on each side of the door, and there is still a brick frame on the plaque on the door.
▲ Drum Hill No. 2 enemy platform, with a door in the center, 1 arrow window on the left and right, and only the brick frame of the inlaid number platform plaque remains on the door.
▲ In a farmer's house in Bianwai Village, a stone slab was found as a door pier stone, and after flipping, the 4 large characters of "Gulu Shu xue" were clearly visible, but the whole body was broken on the right side. After inquiry with the local elderly and combined with the "Liaodong Chronicle", the plaque is the missing plaque of the "Gushan No. 2 Enemy Platform".
