Listen to them tell the story of peacekeeping at the International Peacekeeping Live Troop Exercise Ground
Talking about the assault vehicle, Zhao Sanjun, the leader of the Sven and elegant medical detachment surgery team in front of me, became a little excited.
In November 2017, Zhao Sanjun, as the military doctor of the fourth batch of Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalions to Go south Sudan, went to Juba for a one-year peacekeeping mission. During a patrol to the Yei area, the washboard-like road conditions made him feel dizzy and unbearable, who never got motion sick. "There is no road to form in the local area, and it is impossible to drive fast."
Wearing heavy body armor and holding a rifle in his arms, Zhao Sanjun sat in a half-recumbent position in a warrior assault vehicle, lowering his center of gravity and maintaining his balance. After a difficult trek, it was late at night when the team arrived at the temporary base of operations.

When the gunfire sounded, Zhao Sanjun at first thought that someone was setting off firecrackers.
As the exchange of fire between government and rebel forces escalates, people at the base can be hit by stray bullets at any time. Zhao Sanjun "realized that he was in the midst of an armed conflict, a danger he had not imagined before. Zhao Sanjun was ready to rush up to protect the team members, "I am a soldier first, and then a military doctor!" ”
The "Common Destiny-2021" international peacekeeping live-troop exercise is designed in accordance with the United Nations standard operating procedures, rules of engagement and actual combat requirements, relying on real scenes, real cases, real equipment, and real troops. The comprehensive drill area based on the scene of the real UN peacekeeping mission reminded Zhao Sanjun of the peacekeeping years of that year...

In order to play an important role in medical service support in the execution of the task, the medical detachment drawn from the Army's 82nd Group Army Hospital applied many information-based and intelligent equipment to the exercise: UAV killing can achieve large-scale and efficient environmental elimination; 5G+ mobile remote consultation system can realize the seamless docking of the second-level hospital of China's peacekeeping infantry battalion and top medical experts in China; "box instrument integration" is to integrate first aid instruments such as ECG monitors, micro pumps, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation machines into a box group. Emergency resuscitation and intensive care of the wounded in a field environment.

Looking down on the training ground from the air, I have a more intuitive understanding of the feelings and artistic conception of "riding horses and fighting swords, blowing horns and camping".
Boarding the helicopter and looking through the portholes, the officers and men participating in the exercises unleashed their vigor and vitality on the training ground, and they all hoped that through their own strength, they would make new contributions and inject new vitality into UN peacekeeping operations.
In order to complete the tasks of material escort, air police patrol, and battlefield reconnaissance entrusted by this exercise to a high standard, Guo Zhonghui, commander of the helicopter detachment, brought several "ace pilots," and the captain of the helicopter we were riding in, Ma Jiying, was one of them.

As the deputy captain of the third batch of Chinese peacekeeping helicopter detachments to Darfur, Sudan, Ma Jiying and its team members have completed more than 20 urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks. As a result, the Chinese peacekeeping helicopter detachment was praised by UNAMID as an "indispensable aviation force" and awarded the "Peace Medal" by the United Nations.
In order to cooperate with the members of the anti-reaction team to efficiently complete the subject of "1 aircraft and 8 ropes and simultaneous landing", commander Guo Zhonghui led the Ma Ji battalion and the pilots to repeatedly study air-ground coordination and the application of tactics.
In the field environment, the soil is soft and muddy, and the helicopter is easy to sink into after landing, so you can only choose low-altitude hovering or single-wheel grounding. In order to maximize the restoration of the real mission scene and increase the difficulty of training, the helicopter chooses to drop the fast reaction team on an anti-slope, which means that the helicopter has only one entry direction, whether it is a headwind or a downwind at this time.

The pull generated by the helicopter rotor and the ground effect caused by the air flow flapping have put forward higher requirements for the control ability of the Maji battalion: "Relative to the ground, the helicopter is in a state of 'stop', but the state of the aircraft has been changing, and we must constantly correct it, otherwise it will drag the fast rebels." ”
But the Maji battalion is still full of confidence, "In the peacekeeping mission area, we can only be assisted by instrumentation and limited navigation means, and we can only rely on ourselves to maintain the course after flying out." But here, we have a team to do the support. ”

In recent years, China's peacekeeping forces have expanded from a single service to a multi-service service, the type of task has changed from support to comprehensive multi-functional, and the objectives of action have extended from stopping armed conflicts to building lasting peace. The further improvement of the peacekeeping capability of the Chinese armed forces will make new contributions to the cause of United Nations peacekeeping.
At the beginning of the "Common Destiny-2021" international peacekeeping live military exercise, 2,241 Chinese peacekeepers are still carrying out missions at the United Nations headquarters and seven mission areas.
Looking at these vivid faces in front of me, I think those Chinese blue helmets in other places are also such a youthful appearance.
