They shine the brand of Chinese peacekeeping engineers with their hard work

2024-06-24

The new era is achieved through struggle, and the new journey requires us to continue to strive and strive. At present, the entire army is deeply engaged in the discussion of the "New Era Struggle Concept". The vast number of officers and soldiers adhere to the principle of learning by doing and learning by doing, and are determined to hand over qualified answers to the practical action of revitalizing the army and striving to strengthen it. As a steadfast force in maintaining world peace and serving the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, my officers and soldiers who have gone abroad to carry out tasks such as peacekeeping, escort, foreign medical aid, joint exercises and training, have always kept in mind their responsibilities and missions in the face of the increasingly turbulent and complex international security situation in the past century. They have integrated the spirit of struggle into their hearts, condensed it into spirit, and transformed it into action, showcasing the good image of the Chinese military with practical actions and excellent style, and contributing Chinese strength to maintaining world peace. Starting today, the People's Liberation Army Daily has launched a column titled "Frontline Fax of Overseas Task Forces: My 'New Era Struggle Concept'", which tells touching stories of officers and soldiers of overseas task forces who tirelessly strive for peace. ——The officers and soldiers of the formation team are carrying out airport runway renovation tasks. Wang Junjie takes photos of South Sudan in Africa, scorching the earth under the scorching sun. At an airport in Kovachok, a group of Chinese blue helmets are busy on the red soil. Accompanied by the roar of the machinery, the flying dust crawled into the driver's cab, touching the face of Peng Qian, who was sweating profusely after the operator, forming mud marks. At present, there is only one airport in Kovajok City that is in normal use by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, and the repair and renovation tasks of this airport facility are currently being undertaken by the 14th batch of Chinese peacekeeping engineering personnel from South Sudan (Wau). "Attention everyone, a small plane will land soon, please avoid it." The commander's reminder came from the walkie talkie, and Hou Pengqian and his comrades immediately stopped operating the mechanical equipment to prevent dust from posing safety hazards to the landing of the plane. In no time, a small aircraft with the United Nations logo painted on it landed steadily. Several United Nations maintenance personnel from different countries came out of the cabin and headed straight towards the Chinese peacekeeping engineer. "Thank you for your hard work, Chinese engineers' friends!" The Kenyan pilot who had just completed the flight mission gave a thumbs up to the Chinese blue helmet. Originally, due to the lack of barrier ditches around the airport, people and livestock would occasionally pass through the airport, posing a safety hazard for aircraft takeoff and landing. A few days ago, when the Kenyan pilot landed his plane, a local citizen rode a motorcycle across the airport, almost causing an accident. After receiving the airport repair and renovation task assigned by the Southern Soviet Union, the team quickly formulated a construction plan and arranged for technical backbones such as Hou Pengqian to rush to the site to carry out operations. Due to the hot weather and harsh environment in the task area, the road surface is extremely hard and dry for a long time. Forcefully excavating with excavators not only slows down the operation progress, but also easily causes damage to hydraulic components. After joint research with his comrades, Hou Pengqian applied to the team to dispatch a water truck to soften the soil in the excavation area with water, and then carried out excavation operations section by section. This approach effectively accelerated the construction speed. In addition to creating a barrier, the task of repairing airport runways is also placed before Chinese peacekeeping engineers. Although there was a lot of soil left when digging a barrier ditch near the airport, there was a lot of sand and gravel inside, and the soil quality did not meet the construction requirements for repairing the runway. "To carry out peacekeeping missions, it is necessary to ensure high standards and quality." For this reason, Hou Pengqian and his comrades specially went to riverbanks and other places far from the airport to excavate soil with high viscosity and good soil quality. The improvement of engineering standards means an increase in workload and an extension of work time. "Although there are difficulties, the task deadline cannot be postponed." Under the scorching sun, the temperature inside the cab of construction machinery often approaches 50 degrees Celsius, but Hou Pengqian and his comrades worked together for a whole day. Every day when we return to the campsite, everyone is covered in dirt and sweat. Once again, the team was assigned a road repair task for the Tulare to Agaquark section of the supply line from Warab Oblast to Unity Oblast. This road is an important route for local people to travel, as well as a lifeline for the supply of supplies and humanitarian aid to the Southern Soviet Union. Due to the high frequency of road use and the damage caused by rainwater erosion, this section of the road has suffered multiple damages and numerous potholes. "It's easy to stall or even break down while driving on this washboard road," said Hu Jian, the captain of the Engineering Support Second Squadron, who still remembers his feelings during the survey. The officers and soldiers of the detachment carefully carried out engineering operations such as soil excavation, transportation, filling, and compaction. To ensure the progress of the task, the officers and soldiers of the detachment set off from the campsite at 5am and worked in the field for nearly 10 hours every day. Setting off against the sunrise, working under the scorching sun, and returning to camp with the sunset, the detachment of officers and soldiers in the peacekeeping mission area thousands of miles away from the motherland, continuously polishing the brand of Chinese peacekeeping engineers with struggle and perseverance, demonstrating the responsibility and responsibility of the great military. During the construction process, the officers and soldiers of the detachment found that in some special sections near the river with lower terrain, many water culverts were blocked by branches, mud, and even collapsed and deformed, basically losing their drainage function. If not repaired, roads will inevitably be soaked in rainwater after the rainy season arrives, affecting traffic and road service life. Seeing that the workspace was narrow and construction machinery could not be used, Hu Jian picked up an engineering shovel and took the lead in drilling into a culvert with a diameter of only one meter to carry out cleaning operations. Under his leadership, the officers and soldiers took over the task and successfully completed it. After the completion of the project, it passed the acceptance inspection of the Southern Soviet Union in one go, and the speed of traffic increased from 30 kilometers per hour to 80 kilometers per hour, greatly facilitating the travel of local people. On the way back of the construction team, local people who came to bid farewell to the peacekeeping officers and soldiers shook hands and waved to the convoy: Thank you, Chinese soldiers!
