Chapter 203 The Legendary Ammunition Depot

Li Dajiang touched it with his hand and found that the stone used to block the cave entrance was glued together with a mixture of cement and sand.

The entrance of the cave was built so solidly, how could it be easily opened by Weiguo?

He shone a light on the place where Li Weiguo slipped, and sure enough, there was an obvious scratch on the ground.

It turned out to be moss, no wonder my son slipped.

However, he forgot a crucial issue. The entrance of the cave was built so solidly, how could Li Weiguo's attack have such a great impact?

At this moment, Li Dajiang raised his leg and kicked the stone at the entrance of the cave twice to expand the entrance.

"Bang...bang!" The stone was kicked down, and the dust stirred up covered the entire cave entrance in a hazy manner.

Li Weiguo looked at Li Dajiang's mighty movements and thought that it was fortunate that the treatment at Wudi Hospital was very thorough, otherwise his father's leg would not be able to withstand such a strong force.

The roar of falling stones gradually subsided, but dust still filled the air.

Li Dajiang instinctively pulled Li Weiguo back a step, waiting for the dust to settle.

After a while, the dust gradually dissipated, revealing the entrance to the dark cave.

The father and son held flashlights and walked in carefully on the stones.

The light of the flashlight flickered in the darkness, illuminating the rugged road ahead.

"Be careful, Weiguo." Li Dajiang said in a low voice, his tone full of caution.

Li Weiguo nodded and followed closely behind Li Dajiang, thinking that he already knew everything here and he was just going through the motions by following his father.

But at this moment, he was more curious about what Li Dajiang would react when he saw the things inside?

Fortunately, excited, or what?

Walking into the dark cave, the old Japanese army's generator lights on the wall of the cave come into view.

Although these lights have not been used for many years, they are still in good condition.

Li Dajiang's eyes stayed on the light for a moment, and his brows furrowed even more.

"Dad, these lights look so old. They look quite a bit old!" Li Weiguo said softly.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, these should be left behind by the Japanese devils back then, but no one has discovered them for so many years." Li Dajiang said with emotion.

The father and son continued to walk inside, and as they walked deeper, the situation in the cave gradually became clear.

When they walked completely into the dark cave, the scene before them shocked them.

The ammunition depot was huge, and tarpaulin covered everything in the cave, covered with thick dust and cobwebs.

Li Dajiang walked over quickly and lifted a corner of the tarpaulin. Under the tarpaulin, rows of wooden boxes were neatly laid out in front of him.

He put the flashlight aside and used the 56- pistol in his hand to drive out the nails on a wooden box.

"This is the Type 38 rifle! It's brand new!" Li Dajiang's voice was filled with excitement.

Then, he opened them one after another in one breath. In addition to rifles, bullets, light machine guns, and "melon grenades" were found in several wooden boxes.

"Damn Japs, they actually have so many weapons hidden here! What on earth do they want to do!" Li Dajiang couldn't help but swear.

"Dad, isn't there a legend in our village that there is a Japanese ammunition depot nearby? Could it be this?"

Li Weiguo guided Li Dajiang at the right time and revealed the matter of the ammunition depot.

"How do you know? What have you heard?" Li Dajiang looked at Li Weiguo in surprise, wanting to know more.

"The elders in our village all know that right after liberation, some people came down from above and went into the mountains to look for the remains, but they all returned empty-handed. I also heard my grandfather talk about it a few times."

"That's right, this might be the ammunition depot. I didn't expect you to accidentally knock open the entrance."

Li Dajiang looked at this huge cave and thought that these Japanese devils really knew how to find a place.

If my son hadn’t slipped, who knows when this cave would have been discovered!

"Dad, please stop talking. My arm still hurts! Dad, it's dark here. There are electric lights here. There must be power generation equipment..."

Li Weiguo deliberately turned around and searched, his eyes looking left and right, but his legs were moving straight in one direction.

"Dad, there is a generator here!" Li Weiguo said, pointing in a direction.

"Weiguo, stand there and don't move. Dad will come and take a look!"

In the dark cave, the figures of Li Dajiang and his son Li Weiguo were faintly outlined by the light of the flashlight.

Their eyes were fixed on the old generator, wondering how to restart the machine.

Li Dajiang, holding a flashlight, walked calmly to the generator.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed this machine full of historical vicissitudes, wondering if it could still be started.

"Weiguo, light up for me."

His voice echoed in the silent cave, with a firmness and expectation.

Li Weiguo hurried forward and aimed the flashlight beam steadily at the generator.

"Dad, will this thing work? It looks quite old." Li Weiguo said deliberately with some doubt.

Li Dajiang raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing confidence: "Don't worry, Weiguo. We have seen everything on the battlefield back then. We can handle this machine."

Then, Li Dajiang slowly placed the crank into the crank hole of the engine.

His eyes became focused and sharp, as if he had returned to his past fighting days.

Then he cranked the handle vigorously.

One, two, three times... every shake was full of strength and determination.

As the crank turned, the generator made a dull "boom" sound, which seemed like the sound of war drums coming from the distant past, shaking the hearts of the father and son.

"Dad, come on!" Li Weiguo encouraged from the side.

Li Dajiang did not relax at all and continued to shake the handle with greater force.

Finally, the roar of the generator became louder and louder, turning into a continuous "rumble".

The sound echoed in the cave, as if announcing that the machine could still be used.

Li Dajiang was breathing heavily, with a relieved smile on his face.

"Weiguo, you saw it!"

Without stopping, he immediately walked to the switch nearby.

His hand held the clutch steadily, and his eyes flashed with determination.

"Dad, be careful." Li Weiguo reminded.

"Don't worry! There's no problem with the generator, and there won't be any serious problems with the switch." Li Dajiang responded.

Then he pushed the clutch in hard.

With a "swish" sound, the cave was instantly bright.

The dim light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the entire cave.

Both father and son widened their eyes at the same time, shocked by the scene before them.

Li Dajiang stood there quietly, his eyes slowly scanning every corner of the cave.

Everything in the cave was in sight under the light. In addition to the piled-up wooden boxes, there was actually a row of cannons next to them, arranged in orderly piles.

Looking in the other direction, there was a group of large pottery jars neatly arranged.

Li Dajiang could figure out easily that there was food in there.

"Weiguo, this cave is incredible. Go and call your uncles over."

Li Dajiang's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of excitement.

"Hey! I'll go right away!"

After saying that, Li Weiguo turned off the flashlight in his hand, put it back into the Jiefang bag, and then ran out of the cave.
