Adversity gives people precious opportunities for training. Only those who can withstand the test of the environment can be regarded as truly strong. Most of the great men since ancient times have struggled through adversity with an indomitable spirit. - Matsushita Konosuke

Li Baoqiang and others slowly approached the cave and heard the rumble of a diesel engine coming from the cave. No wonder the lights in the dormitory and the cave were bright. It turned out that there was a generator in the cave. It seemed that this warehouse had a lot of stock. There was a light in front of the cave.

The street lights gave off a yellow light, and no one stood guard. Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang pressed against the stone walls on both sides of the cave and slowly approached the entrance. The two steel doors were closed.

Li Baoqiang cautiously touched the iron door and tried to push it gently. The iron door squeaked open a crack, and the sound was drowned in the roar of the generator. Li Baoqiang pulled out the military thorn and held it tightly in his hand, signaling Song Xiaoqiang to follow.

Behind him, Song Xiaoqiang also pulled out the dagger and looked around cautiously.

Stepping into the cave, the sight in front of them surprised Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang. It was too powerful. The entrance of the cave was only about six meters wide, but the inside of the cave was about thirty meters wide. The cave was very dry and the walls were made of cement concrete.

The structure, the curved vault is about 20 meters high, and there are dim lights on the walls on both sides. It looks like a two-way four-lane tunnel. The amount of work is also too large.

There are also a series of vague slogans on the walls on both sides: "Dig holes deeply, accumulate grain widely, and do not seek hegemony" and "Prepare for war, prepare for famine for the people." "Holy crap, is this the legendary third-line construction tunnel?" Li Baoqiang

There is a feeling of traveling through time and space and returning to the 1960s.

Li Baoqiang observed carefully while recalling the information on the preparations for the third front in his memory.

After the breakup between China and the Soviet Union in 1958, the severe strategic situation and the fragile defense system along the southeastern coast made the CCP leadership begin to consider strategic issues in building its rear in the west. On August 2, 1964, the Beibu Gulf incident broke out, and the US destroyer USS Mark Doss and

A fierce battle broke out between Vietnamese navy torpedo ships and spread to southern China. On August 17 and 20 of the same year, Mao Zedong pointed out twice at the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee that China’s current economic lifeline is concentrated in large cities and coastal areas, which is not conducive to

In preparation for war, each province must establish its own strategic rear. This is the origin of the third-line construction.

In August 1964, the State Construction Commission held a meeting on the relocation of the first and second lines, proposing large-scale decentralization and small-scale concentration. A few cutting-edge national defense projects should be "backed, dispersed, and hidden" (referred to as mountains, scattered, and caves). Some of them have to be drilled into caves.

The third-line construction has been announced.

"The cave in front of me and the military camp guarding it outside are definitely products of that time, and there must be military supplies inside. We must get it." Thinking of this, Li Baoqiang couldn't help but get excited and eager to try.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave. Li Baoqiang grabbed Song Xiaoqiang, and the two hid in a small room in the tunnel and looked outside.

I saw two people walking in from the entrance of the cave. They were not wearing military uniforms. They were holding food boxes in their hands and walking towards the cave. They were still muttering: "These soldiers don't look like they did back then. They are simply bandits."

, this deputy company commander is simply a bandit leader. He lives in a cave and wants us to cook and serve him every day."

Li Baoqiang saw that no one else was following behind them. After the two passed by the small room, Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang suddenly attacked, grabbed their mouths from behind and dragged them directly into the small room. The two looked at Li Baoqiang and Li Baoqiang in panic.

, Li Baoqiang put his index finger to his lips, made a "shh" gesture, and shook the spur in his hand. The two people 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 people immediately put down their food boxes and said solemnly: "We are absolutely honest, please don't do it."

Kill us."

"Answer honestly: Who are you? Why did you come in? Who else is there?" Li Baoqiang stared at the two people and spoke slowly, word by word.

"I, we are the cooks among the refugees, delivering meals to the people inside. Among them are Deputy Company Commander Li, two of his soldiers, and a few women." One of them was more courageous and answered quite carefully.

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

"It seems like submachine guns and pistols. I don't quite understand this." The man continued to respond.

"How do these soldiers treat you?" Li Baoqiang asked, rubbing his nose. He thought to himself that if these soldiers still had humanity, he would treat them politely. If they turned into evil-doing soldiers and bandits, he would not mind.

Kill a few more people, even if these people were former soldiers like myself.

The two men lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to speak.

Li Baoqiang thought for a moment and said to the two cooks: "We are not bad people. We have rescued more than 2,000 people outside. Don't worry."

The more courageous cook looked up at Li Baoqiang and Song Xiaoqiang, and saw a hint of kindness in their eyes. After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind: "First of all, we were driven into the barracks by a group of wild dogs and cats. This gang

The soldiers were really nice to us and helped us, but since the deputy company commander killed the company commander, they began to bully men and dominate women. This deputy company commander is bad, and the soldiers also followed him

I learned so bad..."

"But there are still a few good soldiers who didn't listen to the deputy company commander and didn't do anything bad, so they locked them up in a small dark room." Another cook gradually became more courageous and added.

Li Baoqiang already understood. Now that this company has deteriorated and become gangsters who oppressed refugees, he has taken decisive measures to deal with this group of people, and there is no longer any psychological barrier.

"You go in and continue delivering food. We will follow you. Don't panic! If we are exposed, you will be the first to die. Do you understand?" Li Baoqiang ordered.

"Just you two? Okay, okay." The two cooks looked at the large golden pistol that Li Baoqiang showed, and felt a little calmer.

The two cooks, carrying food boxes and trembling on the soles of their feet, slowly approached a brightly lit room, where bursts of laughter from men and women could be heard.

"Sir, we have brought food." The braver cook shouted into the room.

"Made, you're here so late. I'm starving after waiting for the midnight snack. Please bring it in quickly." A man shouted outside the door.

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

Li Baoqiang saw an obscene scene in front of him. A naked man was lying on the sofa in the living room, and a naked woman was lying next to him, massaging his chest with her breasts.
