On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, solemn woke up early.

In Pingsuri, the soldiers of the "Hunter" detachment wore camouflage uniforms 99 percent of the time, but on this day, everyone changed into winter clothes.

And it's the cleanest, most brand new set.

Today, there are two great events.

The first was the handover ceremony held in the morning at minefield No. 12.

Each minefield is handed over to the local government after the demining unit has cleared the mines.

The second is a simple and important wedding held in the company canteen in the evening - the "boss" Luo Xing is going to be the groom's officer!

After washing up early, I sat solemnly on the cement flower bed under the big tree and waited for breakfast.

The detachment of "Hunters" has already decided to postpone their departure by a day.

It was the last solemn day of the mine-sweeping force, and it was also a significant first day.

In the border town in winter, the fog and water wet the basketball court, the wet ground and the slightly gray weather, the road outside the camp gate, the sudden sound of simple three-way motorcycles resounded through the streets and alleys.

Sitting solemnly under the tree, I suddenly felt that all this, including the moist air, was so precious.

Looking at the military uniform on his body, he suddenly felt like a world away.

I am still solemn, but I am not as solemn as before.

The handover ceremony of the minefield is scheduled for 10 a.m.

This is the top priority of the entire county today.

This means that another prohibitive death zone is about to be lifted from danger, and soon it will become fertile land for a good harvest.

In fact, the hearts of the common people are happy.

A few days ago, the county issued a notice, especially in several villages near the minefield that had been hit hard, and the village branches at the grassroots level had already set up their operations and sent the notice verbally to all the villagers' groups and to every villager's home.

You can see it, the ceremony is public.

At eight o'clock, the whistle sounded in the camp of the minesweepers, and the soldiers and officers who had finished breakfast all put on camouflage uniforms.

They did not wear regular clothes, and unlike the "hunter" detachments, they have "special missions" today.

The convoy set off from the camp at 8:15 p.m., drove along the familiar road, and arrived at Minefield No. 12 at 9:05 a.m.

This is a minefield less than three kilometers from the border, and it is also the flattest minefield and the most convenient transportation among the three minefields No. 12, 13 and 14.

It is best used as a site for handover ceremonies.

When the convoy arrived, as soon as they got out of the car, they solemnly saw that a gate made of wood had been erected, which looked like a wooden gate in the form of a triumphal arch.

Above the wooden door hangs a banner made of red cloth, on which is painted with yellow ink with a line of large characters - the signing ceremony of the handover of mine clearance in XX county, XX county, XX state.

Standing at the scene for a while, various vehicles continued to arrive at the scene.

At first glance, it is the staff of the local government.

Some local cadres who were familiar with the mine-sweeping team came up to greet and shake hands with Lian Yue.

Soon after, the familiar BJ212 Jeep arrived.

Xu Hanyuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Border Minesweeping Command, also arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the people of the nearby villages arrived.

Then part of the officers of the mine-sweeping command organs came.

The leaders of the county and the people from the relevant departments came.

Ma Zhijian, the first secretary of the prefecture, and the director of the demining office also arrived......

Reporters from TV stations and newspapers continued to take pictures and videos, and the entire handover ceremony suddenly became lively.

solemnly saw Lao Feng's family of two in the crowd, and Huang Lan, who was holding the small bench with both hands and moving forward a little bit, also came......

They are all here......

This minefield, for them, has too many memories that they can't look back on.

Solemn didn't know how hard they had sustained themselves to return to the place that had almost ruined their lives.

When you are taken away by the minefield here, when you stand in front of it again, when the PLA tells you that the mines here have been swept away.

What does Huang Lan think?

What do the Feng family father and son think?

Standing in the middle of the line, solemnly and quietly watching.

Look at the masses who are missing one leg, or even two.

O soldiers!

He is a military man.

Zheng Zheng suddenly felt that whether it was himself or the camouflage defense green on the officers and men of the minesweeping team, that moment was endowed with a completely different and far-reaching meaning.

He looked down at his epaulettes, and reached out to silently put the August 1st military emblem on his head.

solemnly suddenly understood what the red on the military badge represented.

That's a sacrifice.

Why do you want to keep that touch of red on the military badge?

Because it is the blood of the martyrs of all generations.

As a new generation of soldiers, I just inherited these.

Whether it is a time of peace or a time of war, a soldier always means sacrifice and means defending the homeland.

Whether it is in the years of peace or war, those heroes who know that they are invincible but have a narrow way to shine their swords, like today's deminers, have a sense of historical mission and responsibility and go to the devilish purgatory battlefield.

solemnly understood why someone was willing to do such a terrible job with a stipend of dozens of yuan.

Or because of responsibility.

The mission of the military is also the responsibility.

A beautiful female reporter ran over, came to Lian Yue, raised the microphone in her hand, and the photographer behind her held the huge video camera, and the camera was aimed at the minesweeper captain.

"Excuse me—"

The female reporter smiled very sweetly.

"Are you Lian Yue, the captain of the demining team?"

Captain Lian Yue nodded hurriedly, and a trace of pride appeared on his dark face: "That's right, I'm Lian Yue, the captain of the minesweeping team." ”

"I'm Wang Li, a reporter from XX State TV, and I'm glad to interview you." The female reporter's sweet and crisp voice made even Yue, a veteran, feel a little embarrassed.

"Comrade reporter, if you have any questions, just ask." He said.

"It's said that you spent more than a month sweeping up this minefield, right?"

"Yes, our mine-clearing team has been stationed here for more than two months, and the No. 12 minefield actually didn't take too long, because the terrain here is relatively gentle, and the difficulty of minesweeping is not too great, and the No. 14 minefield on the side of Nakui Village is the most complicated minefield."

"I have a question I want to ask, not just me, maybe the audience in front of the TV wants to know and want to ask."

"You ask, comrade journalist."

"Are you absolutely sure of every minefield you sweep?" Female reporter Wang Li still kept smiling, but the question was sharp.

Lian Yue nodded very affirmatively: "Of course there is!" I believe in my soldiers, I also believe in myself, you should believe us, we are the people's soldiers, and we will not joke with the lives of ordinary people. ”

The question was very sharp, so Lian Yue answered it very seriously.

solemnly discovered the interview of the female reporter and stood aside and watched intently.

"What if you step on it, what if there is a thunder that is not ruled out? I mean, just in case. ”

Wang Li didn't seem to give up asking, still staring at this question, perhaps, this is a news point that attracts enough attention.

She's in pursuit.

Zhuang Zhuang was a little annoyed, he thought that this female reporter was so uninteresting!

Lao Su said on the side: "Hey, this girl is evil, this festive place, why are you chasing such an unlucky thing?" ”
