On the brink of war and peace
There was a group of warriors in blue helmets
Actions interpret the adherence to peace
They are
Chinese peacekeepers
The 27th batch of Chinese peacekeepers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Commander Wang Shaohong
He has had four peacekeeping experiences in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
He introduced
A real peacekeeping battlefield
There is a thrill and complexity that can't be made in a movie
Today, let's learn their story together!
They were besieged and poured gasoline
Their experiences are more thrilling than in the movies
Wang Shaohong introduced
Peacekeepers are often confronted by militants
Provocations, threats, and attacks
"Local outlaws
He doesn't care if you're a peacekeeper or not
He does everything."
April 2021, he recalled
A task detachment
At the end of the construction of the project
Suddenly, he was chased and intercepted by hundreds of unknown elements
"They put up a lot of roadblocks
Someone picked up a big rock and ran it under our wheels
Someone threw a stone directly at the vehicle
There were also people who smashed the glass of the car with wooden sticks
They poured gasoline on our car
Prepare to ignite the car ......"
Since the mission detachment is located in a primeval forest
There is no internet signal
They had to do their best to stabilize the mood of the people
Try everything
Get in touch with the outside world and apply for support
The detachment leader managed to convince a citizen
The other party is riding a motorcycle
Took him out of the primeval forest
Arrive at a place where there is a signal and contact the organization to apply for support
ultimately
The Pakistani Rapid Reaction Force (PTA) for local peacekeeping
and local government forces quickly arrived
The personnel and equipment of the detachment were successfully rescued
A different kind of "targeting" training!
The target of the peacekeeper has eleven rings
Wang Shaohong introduced
Peacekeepers are mainly responsible for engineering support tasks
Often busy in virgin forests and alpine dense forests
It is rainy in the area
Many roads have been washed into potholes
Coupled with the limitations of local technical conditions
There is only one way for people to encounter mud puddles
- Digging
So the pit is getting deeper and deeper
Bigger and bigger, longer and longer
sometimes
A mud pit on a road can be more than 2 meters deep
People stand up as if they are on the edge of a "cliff".
Peacekeepers carry out tasks in such places
Whenever there is a slight error
It is possible to make machinery and equipment fall off the "cliff"
Or get stuck in the mire
Therefore, in order to guarantee in harsh conditions
It can also work accurately and smoothly
They often do
A special "targeting" training
And 11 rings are set on the target
Target shooting is mentioned here
It's not about shooting with guns
Wang Shaohong introduced
They load probes on loaders weighing several tons
The driver operates the loader to hit the target
Perform high-precision training
On this "special target".
The center of the 10 rings is the 11 rings
Occasionally, they are on a mission
There will also be "interesting accidents"
Once, on the way back from a mission
A few baboons suddenly ran out of the roadside
One of them crossed the middle of the road, blocking the way of the vehicle
The baboon next to him climbed into the trunk through the window
Start rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find food
Don't forget when you get off the bus
Bring the rest of the food to your companions
Come for peace!
They have witnessed changes on the ground
Wang Shaohong said, in addition to carrying out tasks
They also carry out cultural activities from time to time
Bring friendly troops from the local population and peacekeepers
Feel the Chinese culture
Gradually, he felt the changes in the local area
He put it on for the first time 17 years ago
The United Nations symbolizes the power of peace
Blue beret
Embarked on the land of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
At that time, there was a little boy about ten years old in the local area
gave him a lot of "shock"
- At an age when you should be learning with a book
He was followed by a group of armed men
Living in the midst of war
"Turning into the next militant"
It seems to be the fate of many local children
Many years have passed
This has changed dramatically
Once
Wang Shaohong accidentally put his identity document
Lost on the way to survey
Neither search found it
Later, a local boy named "Bao".
Came to the gate of the camp of the Chinese peacekeepers
It turned out that he had picked up his ID on the road
特意前来归还
When they evacuated
Many local children came to see them off
They stood on the side of the road holding simple cardboard shells
It says "Goodbye China"
This scene made Wang Shaohong extremely moved
He hoped that the efforts of the Chinese peacekeepers
It can bring more possibilities for the growth of children here
On the slope of the entrance to the camp of the Chinese peacekeepers
It is engraved with five large characters:
Come for peace
Wang Shaohong said that this is
Their original intention and mission
"China's 'blue helmets' are fighting
Smoke fills all corners of the world
There are also officers and soldiers who have sacrificed their precious lives
The Chinese 'blue helmets' with their own sacrifices
For being in the midst of war
People who have never really experienced peace
Drawing a blueprint for peace"
Kudos to China's "blue helmets"!
