In August 1945, in order to end the war as soon as possible, the US President Truman and senior military personnel decided to drop nuclear bomb into Japanese territory to accelerate the war.
At 8:00 a.m. on August 6, three B-29 American aircraft flew over Hiroshima, Japan. Among the three aircraft, one is equipped with a 5-ton atomic bomb . This atomic bomb will complete its mission in an hour and generate a huge mushroom-like cloud of smoke in the center of Hiroshima.
3 days later, the same mushroom-shaped smoke appeared in Nagasaki, Japan. When there were two atomic bombs in Japan, the United States also got what they wanted.
On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the international community has also seen the great power of the atomic bomb. Although our country is afraid of this power, our country was in the period of the Liberation War at that time, and the issue of my country's atomic bomb had to wait until , after the founding of New China in , before it could be advanced.
On October 16, 1964, my country's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated in Lop Nur, Xinjiang. Since then, my country has become a nuclear-capable country and will no longer be controlled by the atomic bomb problem.
However, after the Beibu Gulf incident occurred, Chairman Mao realized that in addition to having an atomic bomb, the country must also ensure the security of the national military base. In order to ensure that the country can gain an advantage during the war, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou decided to carry out a project in the rear of our country after consultation. The project
This project was listed as a top-secret military confidentiality, and more than 60,000 people participated in the construction. However, eight years after the construction of this secret project, it was stopped before it was about to be completed. Many people only learned about this history.
Chairman and Prime Minister agreed to carry out the 816 project
Since the end of World War II , the military strength of all countries has developed rapidly, especially the United States, as a military power, whose scientific and technological level has reached the top throne in the world.
The Beibu Gulf incident broke out on August 2, 1964. At that time, the United States sent the advanced destroyer to fight with Vietnam. The battle even affected southern parts of my country.
Chairman Mao also saw the problems in our country from the Beibu Gulf incident. At that time, my country's economic lifeline was mostly located in big cities and coastal areas. If a war broke out under such circumstances, these areas would be easily attacked during the battle, which would lead to the defeat of the battle.
So Chairman Mao pointed out this issue twice at the meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. After that, Chairman Mao also secretly agreed with Premier Zhou to build a military project in the rear. In order to ensure that my country can complete the counterattack immediately after the outbreak of the nuclear war, the 816 project dug a large hole in the rear was born. The purpose of
to carry out the 816 project is to build a military industrial hole in the rear of our country that is not threatened by war. This plan involves national security issues, so this plan is also listed as a top-secret military secret.
The first thing to determine after establishing the 816 project is the site selection issue. After many inspections by relevant departments, it was finally decided to carry out construction in Baitao Town, Fuling, Chongqing. After establishing a good location, residents living in Baitao Town were dismissed one after another. Later, the name of Baitao Town disappeared from the map.
In order to ensure the secret of the plan, the people involved in the construction of the 816 project were also three regiments drawn from the 54th Division of the National Army's Engineering Corps. Tens of thousands of people from these three regiments formed a new force after being selected, that is, the 8342 unit participating in the construction of the 816 project.
8342 Tens of thousands of engineers in the army have worked here for several years. Many soldiers have been in the mountains for several years after participating in the 816 project. Even if the 816 project is stopped, the soldiers cannot tell outsiders that they have participated in the construction of the 816 project after they return.
participated in the construction for 8 years and returned here many years later
In the winter of 1972, Li Fali, who was born in Banpo Village, Banpo Township, Yichuan County, went to Luoyang to join the army. At that time, Li Fali thought he was going to enter the First Field Army to receive troops, but after the political review, Li Fali was arranged to the Special Engineering Corps of the Central Military Commission, which was the 8342 unit.
Li Fali didn't know what the meaning of the 8342 unit was, but those who were also assigned to the 8342 unit knew more news. Li Fali knew from these people that the troops defending the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao were 8341 unit , and the 8342 unit they were in was one number away from it.
So these people speculated that the 8342 unit and the 8341 unit were brothers. Maybe their 8342 unit would also go to Beijing to defend the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao. They could participate in such an important task as soon as they entered the army, which made Li Fali feel supreme glorious.
But when Li Fali followed the 8342 troops to reach the finish line for 4 days and 4 nights, they arrived at the long-awaited Beijing, but stopped in Chongqing , and later entered a deep mountain in Chongqing. Li Fali, who had just arrived in the deep mountain, did not realize that he would live here in the next 8 years.
Before Li Fali participated in the construction of the 816 project, he filled out a "Zhishen Appraisal". Compared to the twisted name of "Zhishen Appraisal", Li Fali was more willing to call him military regulations because in this "Zhishen Appraisal", many things that the participating engineers cannot do.
has some basic confidentiality regulations, such as not allowing connections during construction, not asking each other, not revealing everything they have done here when writing letters to the outside world, and there are more stringent regulations in the "Knowing Secret Appraisal", that is, not allowed to go abroad after retirement, let alone interact with foreigners, etc.
Faced with these harsh regulations, Li Fali and his comrades did not think this was a very troublesome thing, but instead believed that participating in the construction of the 816 project was the trust of the country. Therefore, naturally, no soldiers would reveal the news here. If the 816 project had not been placed in front of the world in 2002, then Li Fali and other soldiers would have kept this secret for the rest of their lives.
The level of confidentiality required to participate in the 816 project can be reflected in a sentence that Chief Li Fali once said: " must be kept as tight as a bottle, and you can't tell others what you did here in your life, including your closest parents and wife and children! "
Li Fali and other comrades not only think so but also do it. The soldiers participating in the 816 project all guard the secrets here with the strictest tone. Therefore, when the 816 project decrypted the world in 2002, Li Fali's heart was complicated.
After learning that the 816 project was decrypted, Li Fali sighed: " didn't expect 816 to be decrypted, I didn't expect to see so many comrades in the army, and I didn't expect to see the graves of those dead comrades. "
Li Fali was responsible for pouring concrete in the 816 project at that time. Because the construction of the 816 project was completed as soon as possible, the work of the 816 project here did not stop for a moment. It was normal for Li Fali to work fifteen or sixteen hours a day.
At the same time, Li Fali only left here once during the 816 project construction. This time he left the mountain and was assigned by his superiors to go out to complete the work. If there was no such job opportunity, Li Fali would have worked here for eight years.
In the past 8 years, Li Fali had to endure not only the damage caused to his body when digging a hole, but also the life threats he faced at work, but also the loneliness of a boring life.
Talking about the dangers of working in the 816 project, Li Fali will find the cemetery of his comrade Chen Xiansheng, and then slowly tell the heartbreaking past.
"Xiansheng brother and I were the same soldier. When he had an accident, it was in the winter of 1972. He accidentally fell into a large water hole more than 3 meters deep while working. Such a dangerous place was more than one place in the 816 project under construction. When the comrades took Chen Xiansheng out of the water, he was no longer breathing. "
When Li Fali finished this painful past, tears in his eyes could not stop flowing down. Li Fali choked and continued, " He was less than two months old at the time of his death. It was a pity. " After saying this, Li Fali couldn't suppress his inner emotions and cried bitterly on the spot.
Li Fali calmed down after a burst of crying. Then Li Fali wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took out the barley wine that he had prepared long ago, and sprinkled it on Chen Xiansheng's tombstone.
In addition to such sad things that Li Fali can't forget in the 816 project, there is another thing that Li Fali and other veterans cannot forget.
The first thing is that in order to relieve the boring mood of the soldiers, the troops specially set up a projector in the cave to play the video. To this day, Li Fali also remembers the content in the video, which is about the scene of the underground air raid shelter in Beijing. However, Li Fali was impressed by the film not because of its excellent shooting, but because the scene of the underground air raid shelter in Beijing in the film is much worse than the 816 project they built.
If the grandeur of the 816 project cannot be seen from the video alone, then something that Li Fali and other comrades experienced in mid-August 1973 can more intuitively see the hugeness of the project.
It was a hot summer at that time, and the temperature at the 816 project was 45 degrees Celsius. Considering that the high temperature would threaten the lives of the soldiers, the troops ordered all officers and soldiers to come to the cool cave to study that day.
At that time, more than 30,000 people gathered in a cool hole, but these more than 30,000 people failed to fill the hole with . This can also make it more intuitive to see why soldiers such as Li Fali were disdainful of the Beijing underground air raid shelter in the film, because the 816 project they built is a miracle in the world.
is about to be completed, but it is suspended. In 1975, the 8342 unit where Li Fali is located completed the task of tunnel construction. At this time, the 816 project construction had reached the final stage. The 8342 unit that successfully completed the task also evacuated here. At this time, eight years have passed since 1967 when Li Fali came here.
was constructed here for eight years, which also gave Li Fali a different relationship with the 816 project. Li Fali might never have imagined that the 816 project, which brought together his eight years of hard work, was eventually suspended.
In 1984, due to the adjustment of national strategic goals, the total investment was RMB 740 million, and 816 projects that completed 85% of construction projects and 65% of installation projects were ordered to stop construction.
At this time, the 816 project can be completed with an additional 100 million yuan investment. If this money is paid, the 816 project will not be used as a material warehouse in the future. As for why the country issued such an order, there are naturally corresponding reasons behind it.
You should know that when our country first built the 816 project, it was for the preparations for war. At that time, the Soviet Union and the United States could threaten our country's security on the international stage.
The United States is a distance from China, and the biggest threat to China is the Soviet Union. However, during the construction of 816, the Soviet Union fell into the Cold War trap, and the military competition with the United States directly dragged down the Soviet Union. At this time, our country's leaders judged that the Soviet Union could no longer threaten China as before, so there was one less reason for the construction of the 816 project.
Another reason is that the military forces of various countries are developed. When building the 816 project, nuclear weapon is still the most threatening existence. However, with the development of scientific and technological power, several countries with the forefront of science and technology have developed more advanced technologies, which violates the original intention of the 816 project.
Under the influence of these aspects, my country judged that continuing to build the 816 project would be a measure that would be more than worth the loss, so it ordered the suspension of the construction of the 816 project on the spot.
Although the 816 project was abandoned, the part that had been built here embodies the efforts of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. Therefore, the country later renovated the 816 project. In 2010, the 816 project, which was once a top-secret military secret, became a local tourism project.
If you are lucky enough to go to the 816 project to watch, you will find how huge the 816 project, built by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, is. Behind every inch of space here, the sweat of the officers and soldiers is. If the 816 project was not disclosed, we would never know that there were such a group of people who have made silent contributions to the country.
Now behind the peace and stability of our country, there are still many people who are silently making contributions, so that we can pay the highest respect to these people.
