0109 The Story of Loyalty (Part I)

After answering the questions of netizens, the special combat team members went back to continue their training.

Yun Qingfeng's light answer deeply shocked netizens.

Being accompanied by broken bones all day long, life and death are in the same thought, that kind of feeling is not something ordinary people can experience.

Although the special combat team members are gone, there are still a lot of questions in the comment area.

"I see some of you asking, we are in an era of peace, the state is so strict on flammable and explosive materials, fireworks are almost not allowed to be set off, how can there be such a dangerous thing as bomb mines? How many mines can an EOD soldier defuse in his lifetime? ”

Wang Liang replied: "There are two main aspects, one is the landmines on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the other is the clearing of the field after live firing. ”

"Let's start with the first one, border mines. The border between China and Vietnam stretches for more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is impossible to set up a border post every few kilometers, right? How much money and resources does this cost? At that time, the war had just ended, and the two sides had planted a large number of mines on their respective borders. ”

"Everyone should have seen "Mine Warfare" where the devil doesn't hang the strings, right? But in the war of the 80s or so, there was more than just string thunder. There are many trigger methods, such as hair pulling type, tripping hair type, hair pressing type, remote control type, etc. Our soldiers also gave a lot of names to the mines, such as civilization mines, humane mines, two-legged mines, great unity, small coffins, husband and wife love, girls' kisses, etc., in short, all of them cost human lives. ”

There were many netizens who asked.

"I understand that both China and Vietnam have planted a large number of landmines on their respective borders, and the density is beyond imagination. But there should be a mark after the sapper planted the mine, right? It shouldn't be difficult to line up according to the mark, why hasn't it been finished yet? ”

"Why do you go to the platoon? It's so dangerous, keep it. ”

Wang Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The terrain on the Sino-Vietnamese border is complex, and in the past twenty or thirty years, the location and depth of many mines have changed. You must know that the Sino-Vietnamese border is located in a subtropical jungle area, and heavy rains are commonplace, and a single rain can wash down all the mines buried in the mountains. Mark? It doesn't exist at all. ”

"Why should our fighters risk their lives to clear mines? Let me give you two examples: there is a landmine village on the border between China and Vietnam, and there are more than 200 people in the village, of whom more than 100 are disabled. One of the villagers was hit by a mine three times, lost his right leg and left eye, and still has more than 80 pieces of shrapnel in his body, which rings every time he passes through the security check on the train. In a village in Fu County, Yunnan Province, 87 villagers were blown up by a landmine and only 78 legs were left. This is what our fighters went to mine so that the villagers would not be bombed again. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Liang suddenly remembered a story from the Vietnam War, about sappers and mines.

Gradually, the idea of telling that past became stronger, and Wang Liang couldn't help but ask netizens: "Old man, I want to tell a story again, I don't know if you are still willing to listen to it?" ”

"Of course! We'd love to hear it! ”

"Is it a story about demining heroes?"

"Be willing to listen, be baptized, and let us no longer be selfish people."

"Speak! I like the story of the soldier the most! ”

Netizens are very enthusiastic, and those who can catch up with the live broadcast to the present are all military feelings since childhood, or veterans.

Through Wang Liang's live broadcast, they can find lost memories and learn about the unknown past.

For the stories of heroes, they do not refuse.

"Well, that's a wartime story."

Wang Liang closed his eyes, as if returning to the era of artillery fire, and began to tell his story.

In the spring of 1984, the Vietnamese army intensified its harassment and provocation on our border, built permanent fortifications on our territory, laid mines, and opened fire on our soldiers and civilians.

People on the border of our country cannot plant land, they cannot return to their homes, and their children do not even have access to school.

Unable to tolerate the crimes committed by the aggressors on our borders, a loyal young man named Loyal joined the army.

Vowed to bring down the invaders of Dog Day.

In order to keep the sacred territory of the motherland from being violated, and for the people of all nationalities in the border areas not to be bullied, he loyally took the initiative to ask the organization to assign him the most dangerous and arduous posts and tasks.

In this way, he became a sapper.

The sappers of that era were not so simple.

In offensive operations, the task of the engineer is to cooperate with the interspersed or main attacking troops, take the lead in clearing the mines and obstacles laid by the enemy, and open the way for the infantry to charge.

That is, before the start of the offensive, the sappers were the vanguard of the infantry, rushing to the enemy position one step ahead of the scouts.

In order to accomplish such a task, it is necessary not only to have excellent demining and obstacle breaking skills, but more importantly, to have the spirit of not being afraid of death.

Loyal was ordered to join a reconnaissance brigade to go deep into the border to reconnoitre.

There are high mountains and dense forests, deep ditches and foggy, and the weather there is unpredictable, often rainy and continuous.

The soldiers camped in the mountains and forests, and before they saw the enemy, they had to fight against mosquitoes, snakes, ants and other poisons.

The subtropical climate was humid and hot, and it was difficult for the warriors from the north to adapt for a while.

I can't sleep well, and I can't eat well.

The invaders were even more insidious and cunning, and in addition to laying a large area of minefields, they also made mines on trees, released mines under leaves, and tied thunderbolts to tree roots and grass......

One is not careful, the other is not careful, and the light will break the leg or the bones will be broken.

This is where the story of loyalty begins......

In the early morning of April 28.

The battle to reclaim the old mountain is about to begin.

Loyal and their squad mates were attached to the third company of infantry and participated in the battle against the 662.6 heights.

Under the order of the deputy company commander of the third company, Lao Fu, the leader of the engineer squad, led the whole squad to search and advance, opening the way for the next assault of the infantry.

At dawn, the powerful artillery bombardment of the People's Liberation Army began, and in the earth-shattering explosion, the enemy's entrenched 662.6 high ground was suddenly filled with gunsmoke, flames soared into the sky, and the enemy's corpses and fortifications flew into the sky.

After a brief period of panic, the enemy also began to return fire with artillery fire, constantly making the last struggle before dying, in order to stop the attack of our infantry.

Under the frenzy of enemy artillery fire, Loyal and his comrades lost contact.

What to do?

Waiting in place?

Or do you want to withdraw it?

Withdraw, no one will call him a deserter.

Wait where you are, at least it's safe.

But as a soldier, Zhongzhong knew that this continuous sound of guns and cannons was an order, and the blazing 662.6 Heights was the direction in which he was heading.

Without the slightest hesitation, he loyally faced the artillery fire and flying shrapnel, stepped on the still burning bushes and thatch, and rushed forward.

He's going to get the job done!
