Special Years

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhuang Yan woke up early.

Usually, the soldiers of the "Hunter" team wore camouflage uniforms 99% of the time, but on this day, everyone changed into their winter uniforms.

And it's the cleanest, newest set.

Today, there are two happy events.

The first is the handover ceremony held at Minefield No. 12 in the morning.

Each minefield must undergo a handover after the minesweeper has cleared the mines, targeting the local government.

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

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

The "Hunter" detachment has decided to delay their departure by a day.

This is the last day of Solemn's stay in the minesweeping unit, and it is also the first day of great significance.

In the winter border town, the basketball court was wet with fog, the wet ground and the slightly gray weather, and on the road outside the gate of the camp, the sudden sound of a simple three-way motorcycle 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 as if he had passed away.

He was still solemn, but not as solemn as before.

The minefield handover ceremony is scheduled for ten in the morning.

This is the top priority for the entire county today.

This means that another daunting death zone is about to be declared free of danger, and will soon become a fertile field.

In fact, the people are happy.

A few days ago, the county issued a notice, especially in the few villages near the minefields that were severely affected. to the villagers' homes.

You can go to see it, the ceremony is public.

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

They didn't wear uniforms, and unlike the "Hunter" squad, they had a "special mission" today.

The convoy set off from the camp on time at 8:15 and drove along the familiar road until it reached the No. 12 minefield at 5:00.

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

It is best used as the scene of the handover ceremony.

After the convoy arrived, as soon as they got out of the car, Zhuang Yan saw that a gate made of wood had been built here, which looked like a wooden gate in the form of an Arc de Triomphe.

Above the wooden door hangs a banner made of red cloth with a line of large characters printed on it with yellow printing oil - Signing Ceremony of Handover of Minesweeper in XX Area, 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 minesweeping 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 headquarters, also arrived.

Immediately afterwards, ordinary people from the nearby villages arrived.

Then came some officers from the Mine Clearing Headquarters.

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

Ma Zhijian, the first secretary of the state, and the director of the mine clearance office also arrived...

Reporters from TV stations and newspapers kept taking pictures and videos, and the whole handover ceremony scene suddenly became very lively.

Zhuang Yan saw the two old Feng family in the crowd, and Huang Lan, who moved forward a little bit with his hands on the small bench, also came...

They are all here...

This minefield, for them, has too many unforgettable memories.

Zhuang Yan didn't know what kind of perseverance they used to support themselves back to the place where they had almost ruined their whole lives.

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

What does Huang Lan think?

What do the Feng family think?

Standing in the line, solemnly and quietly watching.

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

Soldier!

I am a soldier.

Zhuang Yan suddenly felt that both himself and the camouflage national defense green on the officers and soldiers of the minesweeping team were given a completely different and far-reaching meaning at that moment.

Looking down at his epaulettes, he reached out and silently put the August 1st military emblem on top of his head.

Zhuang Yan suddenly understood what the red on the military emblem represented.

That means sacrifice.

Why keep that touch of red on the military emblem?

Because it is the blood of the martyrs of the past dynasties.

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

Whether in peacetime or wartime, soldiers always mean sacrifice and defending their homeland.

No matter in peacetime or wartime, those heroes who knew they were invincible but slashed their swords, like today's deminers, went to the devil-like purgatory battlefield with a historical sense of mission and responsibility.

Zhuang Yan understands why some people are willing to do this kind of terrible work with dozens of allowances.

Or because of responsibility.

Soldiers have a mission and a responsibility.

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

"Excuse me--"

The female reporter smiled very sweetly.

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

Captain Lian Yue nodded quickly, and his dark face showed a hint of pride: "Yes, I'm Lian Yue, the captain of the minesweeper team."

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

"Comrade reporter, feel free to ask any questions you have," he said.

"It is said that you spent more than a month sweeping out this minefield, right?"

"Yes, our mine-sweeping team has been stationed here for more than two months. The No. 12 minefield actually didn't take too long, because the terrain here is relatively flat, and the difficulty of mine-sweeping is not too great. Minefield 14 is the most complicated minefield."

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

"You ask, comrade reporter."

"Do you have absolute certainty about every minefield you have swept across?" Female reporter Wang Li still kept her smile, but the question was sharp.

Lian Yue nodded affirmatively: "Of course! I believe in my soldiers, and I also believe in myself. You should believe in us. We are soldiers of the people's children, and we won't make jokes with the lives of ordinary people."

This question is very sharp~www.novelmt.com~ so Lian Yue answered very seriously.

Zhuang Yan discovered the interview of the female reporter and stood by and watched intently.

"What if I step on it, if there is a thunder, I don't rule it out? I mean, in case."

Wang Li didn't seem to give up the question, and still stared at this question. Perhaps, this is a news point enough to attract attention.

She is chasing after.

Zhuang Yan was a little annoyed, he felt that this female reporter was so ignorant!

Lao Su said, "Hey, this **** is evil. Why do you keep asking about such an unlucky thing in this festive place?"
