Chapter 135: Base Camp
Cheng Sen, Xu Si, and Wu Gun glanced at each other, and each walked into the fork in the road in front of them with their guns. The further he went, the more surprised Cheng Sen became. On both sides of the passage, which is about two meters high, there will be a culvert several meters square every twenty meters. It seems that these excavated culverts are intended for human habitation. What Cheng Sen admires the most is that despite the passage of several decades, this air-raid shelter is still as strong as new. It's not at all like the current project, which is in danger of collapsing at any time. There is only a little dust in the culvert, and the four walls are reinforced with steel and cement, and it looks solid. Just put a futon in it and draw a curtain at the entrance of the cave to create a small separate room.
After walking along the passage, a huge space about ten meters high and tens of meters long and wide appeared in front of me. "At that time, how much labor did it take!" Cheng Sen sighed lightly and walked forward slowly. Barrels of diesel fuel are neatly stacked along the corners. After a cursory look, I am afraid that there are not as many as a few hundred barrels.
After passing through this large culvert where diesel fuel was stored, a horizontal excavation tunnel about 3 meters high and 5-6 meters wide appeared in front of me. "Lao Xu, Lao Wu?" Cautiously walked into the tunnel, but Cheng Sen found that Xu Si and Wu Gun were waiting in the center of the tunnel early.
"It seems that this tunnel is indeed connecting the three branches. What do you think? Lao Cheng, did you find anything over there? Xu Si and Wu Gun glanced at each other and asked Cheng Sen.
"Diesel, probably hundreds of barrels. What about you? Hearing Xu Si ask, Cheng Sen knew that they must have discovered something, so he immediately asked.
"Guns and ammunition, about the ability to equip a regiment of guns and ammunition. In addition to some military compressed food and clothing, Lao Wu actually has two armored vehicles! Old Cheng, it seems that we can stay here for a while with peace of mind. Xu Si reported to Cheng Sen very excitedly.
"Good! Let's take a look along the tunnel, search carefully, and be sure to be foolproof. Cheng Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and punched Xu Si and Wu Gun in front of each other's chests.
Walking along the tunnel, a heavy iron gate soon blocked the three of them. With his previous experience, Cheng Sen was able to find the push-pull rod erected on the wall very smoothly. As expected, the two arm-thick bolts in the iron door were divided to both sides, and after a piercing friction sound, the iron door loosened a gap. The three of them worked together to push the 10-centimeter-thick iron door open, and a cold wind blew in.
Some dazzling light shone in as the iron door was pushed open, and Cheng Sen and the three couldn't help but squint their eyes in unison. After a long time, after getting used to the light outside, the three of them opened their eyes and observed the terrain in front of them.
A ramp hidden in the jungle appeared in front of the trio, leading to the depths of the jungle. A shallow river covered in snow and ice crosses from a distance of tens of meters. The jungle was covered with waist-high dead grass, and it looked like no one had passed through it for a long time. On the other side of the shallow river, there are several half-human-high rusty barbed wires, layered among the trees near the riverbank.
"Close the door and go back first!" Cheng Sen picked up the telescope and carefully observed it along the barbed wire fence for a while. Turned back to Xu Si and Wu Gun and said.
"Wait, you said you had diesel?" Turning around and entering the air-raid shelter, after the three of them worked together to close the iron door, Xu Si suddenly asked Cheng Sendao!
"Hundreds of barrels, what's wrong?" Cheng Sen turned on the tactical flashlight, and said casually as he walked forward!
"We don't have to touch the dark, come with me!" Xu Si hurriedly grabbed in front of Cheng Sen, walked quickly through the pit with him and Wu Gun, and walked towards the big culvert in the middle where the guns and ammunition were stored.
"Generators, as long as they are filled with diesel, can generate electricity. The wires have been connected to the incandescent lights in the aisle, and we can use them directly. Xu Si took Cheng Sen and Wu Gun into a large culvert full of weapons and ammunition, and said with a flashlight shining a flashlight on the four diesel generators painted with orange paint in the corner of the wall!
"Woo~Hum~" With a piercing noise, the two diesel generators were running smoothly. In a short time, the incandescent lights on the top of the culvert and in the aisle flickered one after the other. A few minutes later, the whole bomb shelter was lit up!
"Safety, everybody come in! Jiang Chibing sent two people down to inform Fat Hu. Let him lock the gate and leave two men on guard. Everyone else comes into the cave, so let's get acquainted with the environment first! Cheng Sen trotted all the way to the entrance of the cave and said to everyone with a smile. This air-raid shelter built decades ago is remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a rare hiding place now. Looking back at the air-raid shelter that could be seen at a glance under the illumination of the lights, Cheng Sen breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"I'm afraid this is not hollowing out this mountain, right?!" He Xiaomei walked into the cave and looked up, and said with a slurp in her mouth.
"Almost! In those days, there was always a readiness to go to war. There are not a few places like this in the country! Let's think, how many retired soldiers and militia reservists? As soon as the battle order is issued, these people will soon be able to assemble. And such an air-raid shelter is an arsenal that supplies them with weapons and ammunition. At that time, the national defense was weak, and the whole country, from top to bottom, wanted to fight a protracted war with the enemy, a war in depth. The bomb shelter was built in that environment! Cheng Sen explained to He Xiaomei and the others as he walked.
"So, can the weapons in here still be used?" He Xiaomei asked, looking at the mountain of guns and ammunition in front of her.
"Silly! Who will put scrap metal here? Although the weapons and ammunition here cannot be compared with the combat troops, there is no problem in using them. 81 bars, 40 bazookas, 81 squads with light machine guns, 60 guns. 12.7 High Flat! These things have been tested by war. Speaking of which, it is more durable than what we have in our hands now. Cheng Sen pointed to the flashing guns and ammunition in front of him and explained to He Xiaomei!
"Looking at the condition of the weapons, I am afraid that this was replaced from the active army not long ago. And that's not all. Let's take a look, there are some equipment for the active troops, but they can't compare to the replaced equipment in terms of quantity! Cheng Sen took the group to the corner where the guns were stacked, pointed to the 95 assault rifles and ammunition and said to them.
"We're lucky that this will be our home base for a while. Now, let's go and bring in the supplies on the car! Cheng Sen looked at the excited expressions on everyone's faces, clapped his hands and said!
