BORDER police in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are keeping an eye on the 190 artillery shells found in a dried-up marshland in East Ujimqin Banner and are waiting for bomb experts to defuse them.
These rusty shells were dumped in the marsh about 66 years ago by retreating Japanese troops and their codes are still legible.
Local historians said there used to be a Japanese army post during the World War II. Local police believed the Japanese troops were retreating in a rush and had no time to destroy them.
