From wilderness to palace

Chapter 268 Visiting the War Fortifications
Seeing the few cars appearing at the entrance of the village, Xu Silin, the party secretary of Niujiantun Village, seemed somewhat shocked and surprised.He was a little confused when he received a call from the town earlier, but he didn't expect the leader to come so soon.

What confused him even more was that Liu Zhong, the party secretary of the village, also called him, and even told him bluntly on the phone that he should prepare a table of good food, and he would come over for dinner with the leader.

Before Xu Silin could ask what was going on, Liu Zhong hung up the phone as if he was trying to hide the situation!
The village cadres who were quickly summoned were even more shocked when they saw the car parked at the gate of the village committee and the middle-aged man getting out of the middle car.He was surprised when the mayor came, but this is the head of a county!

"Leader Gong, hello! I am Xu Silin, the village secretary of Niujiantun. Welcome to our village to guide our work."

Facing Xu Silin's self-reported family name, Gong Xishan was still very close to the people and said: "Secretary Xu, hello! I came back to your village, not to guide the work, but to bring you a living God of Wealth!"

Liu Yaozu who was standing next to him heard this, and immediately smiled wryly, "Leader, is this a bit too much?"

"Secretary Xu, you should have met this person, right?"

"I've seen it! Boss Liu from Gushantun, thanks to his high price for the nuts in our village last year!"

After everyone had a brief chat at the door of the village committee, Zhao Zhicheng, the mayor of the town, also said at the right time: "Old Xu, there is no need to drink tea. I would like to ask if the war defense fortifications in the back mountains of your village have been maintained in recent years. Has it been closed yet?"

"War fortifications? Mayor, are you referring to those underground fortifications? The door is locked, and no one has ever entered it. Mayor, do you want to go there and have a look? It has been closed for too long, and I don't know what is inside." What's the matter?"

"Let's go and have a look before we talk! It shouldn't have collapsed, right?"

"It's definitely impossible to collapse! The fortifications are all cast with reinforced concrete and hidden in the hinterland of the mountain. How could they collapse! What? Are the fortifications going to be activated now?"

"Specifically, we will talk about it after we go in and have a look. Prepare some flashlights, and we will go in and have a look later."

"Okay, leaders wait a moment!"

Although I don't know, what to do with those fortifications.But Xu Silin, who has experienced the cloud of war preparation, also knows that the village has such a war fortification, and he was very at ease in his early years.

Although this battle fortification is more built to defend against enemy bombing and store strategic materials transported from the rear.But after it was built, the number of times this battle fortification was used is truly one of the few.

In the era when the border was filled with gunpowder smoke, there was only one such war fortification in the entire Baishan territory.If similar fortifications excavated in other places are added, the number will probably be even more difficult to calculate.

Although the Lantern Festival has passed for some time, the situation in Niujiantun is similar to that in Kaoshantun. The snow that fell last winter has not completely melted yet.On the streets and on the roofs, the snow that has not yet melted can still be seen.

Under such circumstances, the villagers naturally have nothing to do, and basically stay at home, waiting for the snow to melt before starting to work.Seeing so many cars and leaders coming over suddenly, the villagers were naturally very curious.

Under the guidance of Xu Silin, everyone quickly arrived at a hidden place in the mountain behind the village.Looking at the heavy cement door inlaid on the mountain and a large rusty lock hanging outside, Liu Yaozu also felt that the area of ​​​​the fortification was probably not small.

But think about what it was going to be used for back then. If it is not firm and concealed, what is the use of building it?

Xu Silin, the village party secretary, originally wanted to take out the key to open it, but found that the door lock was more or less unlocked and completely rusted to death.Seeing this situation, Xu Silin also smiled wryly: "Leader, I'm afraid this lock can't be opened!"

"It's okay! Then find something to break it open, push the door open, and let some air out."

Fortifications that have not been opened for a long time, no one knows what is going on inside.Although this time, the leader is also accompanied by security personnel.But when everyone has to go in, safety still needs to be paid attention to.

An ax was found, and the rusty lock was cut off directly.Under Liu Yaozu's signal, Sun Lijun and Zhou Shanhe also stepped forward to help push the heavy concrete door open.As the door was slowly pushed open, a gust of cold air rushed in.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking in, the distance you can see is limited.Fortunately, there are not many signs of damp and mold in the fortifications. Except for the moldy ground about two meters away from the hole, the ground inside is very dry.

Zhao Zhicheng, who also saw all this, also tried to ask: "Azu, this fortification should meet your requirements, right?"

"If it is used for film and television shooting, there is basically no need to shoot outside. What really needs to be filmed is the scene inside the fortification. However, this place was dug during the war preparation period. I believe the quality and layout should meet the requirements."

"Okay! Leader, let's go in and take a look?"

Just when Zhao Zhicheng was about to enter, Liu Yaozu said: "Brother Sun, Brother Zhou, you guys go ahead with flashlights, and I will walk behind with the leaders. If there is anything going on inside, you should tell me in time."

"Okay, Mr. Liu!"

When these leaders are by their side, the two will also enter the state of personal bodyguards, and change the name of Liu Yaozu to 'Mr. Liu'.Although the accompanying security personnel could lead the way, Liu Yaozu trusted Sun Lijun and the two more.

As several flashlights were lit, Liu Yaozu and his entourage followed Sun Lijun and immediately stepped into this permanent defense fortification built in the early years.After walking for a while, Liu Yaozu stopped.

Zhao Zhicheng, who also stopped, asked curiously, "Azu, what are you looking at?"

"Let's see if the internal structure and layout are in line with the invader's underground fortress in my novel. If it takes a lot of effort to renovate the layout, I'm afraid the cost will exceed my expectations."

"Ah! Is that so? Look carefully. I have entered this fortification twice. The inside is more spacious and has more areas and rooms. I personally think that it should meet your requirements if you want to transform the underground fortress."

Standing aside, Xu Silin and the others were still confused when they heard what the two were discussing.In the eyes of Xu Silin and others, besides being used as an air-raid shelter, what else can such a large-scale underground fortification be used for?

In the early years, grain was harvested in the village, and some people stored it there.As long as the outside door is sealed, there will be no mouse inside.In order to excavate this underground defense fortification, the entire mountain was almost hollowed out!

Although I don't understand why Liu Yaozu and his party came here.But Xu Silin, who is the secretary of the village party committee, also knows that this abandoned fortification for many years may be revived and bring unexpected benefits to Niujiantun!
