Adversity gives people valuable opportunities to temper. Only those who can stand the test of the environment can be regarded as truly strong. Most of the great men since ancient times have struggled from adversity with an indomitable spirit. - Konosuke Matsushita

Li Baoqiang and a few people slowly approached the cave, and heard the rumbling sound of diesel engine electricity from the cave, no wonder the dormitory and the cave were brightly lit, it turned out that there was a generator in the cave, and it seemed that this warehouse had a lot of stock. A street lamp in front of the cave glowed yellow, and no one stood guard. Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang leaned against the stone walls on both sides of the cave, and slowly approached the entrance of the cave, where the two steel gates were closed.

Li Baoqiang cautiously touched the iron door and tried to push it gently, but the iron door actually "creaked" open a crack, and the sound was drowned out in the rumbling sound of the generator. Li Baoqiang pulled out the thorn and held it tightly in his hand, signaling Song Xiaoqiang to follow closely behind him, Song Xiaoqiang also pulled out the dagger, and cautiously observed around.

Stepping into the cave, the scene in front of them surprised Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang. This is also too strong, the entrance of the cave is about six meters wide, and the hole is about 30 meters wide, the cave is very dry, the wall is a cement concrete structure, the arc vault is about 20 meters high, the walls on both sides are dim lights, here is like a two-way four-lane tunnel, this amount of work is too large.

There are also a series of vague slogans on the walls on both sides: "Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, do not seek hegemony" and "Prepare for war, prepare for famine for the people". "Damn, is this the legendary three-line construction tunnel?" Li Baoqiang has the feeling of traveling back in time and space to the sixties of the last century.

Li Baoqiang observed cautiously while recalling the information on the third-line preparations in his memory.

After the Sino-Soviet break in 1958, the grim strategic situation and the fragile defense system on the southeast coast made the leadership begin to consider the strategic issue of building a rear in the west. On August 2, 1964, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident broke out, and the U.S. destroyer USS Makdos engaged in a fierce battle with a Vietnamese Navy torpedo ship, which spread to southern China. On August 17 and 20 of the same year, at a meeting of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, it was pointed out twice that at present, China's economic lifeline is concentrated in large cities and coastal areas, which is not conducive to preparing for war, and all provinces must establish their own strategic rear. This is the origin of the construction of the third line.

In August 1964, the State Construction Commission held a meeting on the relocation of the first and second lines, proposing that it should be dispersed in large and small concentrations, and that a small number of cutting-edge national defense projects should be "backed, dispersed, and hidden" (referred to as mountains, scattered, and holes). Some have to go into holes. The construction of the third line was announced.

"The cave in front of you and the barracks guarding it outside are definitely products of that time, and there must be military supplies inside. Gotta get it. Thinking of this, Li Baoqiang couldn't help but rub his fists and grind his palms, eager to try.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, Li Baoqiang pulled Song Xiaoqiang over, and the two hid in a small room in the pit and observed outside.

I saw two people walking in from the entrance of the cave, wearing not military uniforms, carrying food boxes in their hands, walking towards the cave, and muttering: "These soldiers, how can they still look like back then, they are simply bandits, this deputy company commander is simply a bandit leader, he lives in the cave, and he wants us to cook and serve every day." ”

Li Baoqiang saw that no one else followed behind the two, and after the two passed through the small room, he and Song Xiaoqiang suddenly attacked, grabbed the mouths of the two from behind, and dragged them directly into the small room. The two looked at Li Baoqiang and the two in a panic, Li Baoqiang put his index finger to his lips, made a "shhh" gesture, and shook the military thorn in his hand, and the two immediately became honest and stopped struggling.

"Put down your things, answer my questions honestly, and don't scream, or I'll kill you." Li Baoqiang ordered in a low voice. The two immediately put down the food box in their hands and said resignedly: "We are absolutely honest, don't kill us." ”

"Honestly: Who are you? What are you doing in here? Who else is inside? Li Baoqiang stared at these two people and said slowly word by word.

"I, we are the cooks in the refugees, delivering food to the people inside, and in it are Deputy Company Commander Li and his two soldiers, as well as a few women." One of them was more daring and answered quite carefully.

"What weapons do they have?" Li Baoqiang continued to ask.

"It seems to be a submachine gun and a pistol. I don't really understand this. The man continued.

"What about these soldiers?" Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and asked. I thought to myself that if these soldiers still had humanity, I would be courteous to them, and if they became evil bandits, I wouldn't mind killing more people, even if these people were the same people who had been soldiers like me.

The two men bowed their heads and were silent, not daring to speak.

Li Baoqiang pondered for a moment and said to the two cooks: "We are not bad people, we have saved more than 2,000 people outside, you can rest assured." ”

The bold cook, looked up at Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang, saw a trace of kindness in their eyes, thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "At the beginning, we were driven into the barracks by wild dogs and wild cats, these soldiers were really good to us and helped us, but since this deputy company commander killed the company commander, they began to bully men and women, this deputy company commander is bad, and those soldiers have also learned from him......"

"But there are still a few soldiers who are very good, they didn't listen to the deputy company commander, they didn't do anything bad, and they were locked up in a small black room." The other cook grew bolder, adding.

Li Baoqiang already understood. Now that this company has degenerated and become a bandit who oppresses the refugees, there is no psychological obstacle to taking decisive measures to deal with this group of people by themselves.

"You go in and continue to deliver food, and we follow you. Don't panic! If you expose us, you will be the first to die, do you understand? Li Baoqiang ordered.

"Just the two of you? Okay, okay. The two cooks looked at the large golden pistol that Li Baoqiang showed out, and their hearts calmed down a little.

The two cooks slowly approached a brightly lit room with their food boxes and trembling soles of their feet, and the sound of men and women laughing came from the room.

"Sir, we're delivering food." The bold cook shouted into the room.

"Made, I'm here so late, I'm hungry for supper, hurry up and send it in." A man shouted at the door.

"Yes, sir." Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang put away their guns and walked into the house with a food box with a cook.

Li Baoqiang's eyes reflected a scene of grace. There was a naked man lying on the sofa in the living room, a naked woman was lying next to him, massaging his chest with **, the man's hand was not honestly touching the woman's body, and the woman's lower body was swallowing up and down the man's waist.
