Thank you.
As what you can see, those are quite new screws. I used a quite new screw driver and tried my best but cannot even turn them a little bit!!
And, using my hand I cannot feel anything in the back of the board!

Those are cam-locks which tighten onto cam-dowels - even if you can turn them you won't be able to release the board as the cam-dowels will still be in place

As said, they should undo about a quarter turn but not come out......its the front and back panel of the cabinet that will be released.

they hold that panel to the sides
they do not allow access behind or allow you to remove
in other words they hold the cabinet together along with dowels and glue
they have no connection to the the wall or other cabinets and will not aid removing the cabinet just dissmanteling the removed cabinet

it is a structural part off the cabinet you can remove it and weaken the cabinet but you will have to cut it in half and probably ruin the carcass/cabinet and not be able reaffix
Watch this video http://www.wickes.co.uk/how-to-videos/kitchen-bathroom/build-kitchen-cabinet
This will show you what those parts are and why you can't remove that piece without taking the whole cabinet out.
Thank you so much!
I want to check that there are any rat hole in the back of the cabinet and believe it will become easier if I can remove that board.

You should also be able to unclip the plinth strip from below the cabinet and look underneath.
Just get one of these and plug in to your laptop/phone/tablet (you may need to buy a USB host adapter cable for phone/tablet) and use it to look - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Endoscope-Waterproof-Inspection-Camera-Borescope/dp/B00A6K4DCK

Can you remove the plinth to get a better view?

Sorry Chud! Didn't see you'd said that.

Yes. However, I need that to bind the camera at a end of a stick.
