Why did Chinese soldiers born in the 1990s walk hand in hand through the minefield?

What are China’s post-90s young people doing? On the China-Vietnam border, there is a group of people born in the 1990s who are carrying a heavy load for the Chinese people!

Due to historical reasons, a large number of landmines and explosives were left behind in the Yunnan section of the China-Vietnam border. "Death hills", "death passages", and "mine villages" with numerous casualties were formed. Despite two large-scale demining operations, there are still 95 minefields covering nearly 80 square kilometers distributed along the border.

Minefields have existed for more than 30 years. The technical performance and distribution location of landmines and explosives have changed, making them difficult to detect and eliminate. Casualties will occur if you are not careful!

According to incomplete statistics, there are still more than 470,000 landmines and more than 157,000 various types of explosives buried in the minefields. Mine hazards seriously threaten the safety of the people, and the Chinese military will not sit idly by!

In November 2015, the Yunnan Provincial Military Region Mine Clearance Command was ordered to launch the third large-scale mine clearance operation. Four demining teams and 405 officers and soldiers carried out demining operations simultaneously in multiple minefields in Laoshan, Balihe Dongshan, Tianpeng, Luchun and other places.

They sweated in the minefield and discharged landmines one by one from the face of death. During manual search and demining, a slight mistake will cause an explosion, with disastrous consequences....

Explosives, protective clothing, lightning protection boots, water, food, etc. need to be carried into the mountain by the demining team members, and each team member You need to carry about 50 kilograms of supplies and walk on the mountain road for about an hour. Due to the high mountains, steep slopes and thick bushes in this minefield, internationally accepted demining methods cannot be implemented in this area. Robotic demining is even more unrealistic, so demining can only be done with bare hands! International demining experts believe that clearing 70% of the minefields in a minefield is considered a success, but demining officers and soldiers have vowed to clear 100% of the minefields. In order to prove to the people that the minefield is safe, every time a minefield is cleared, the deminers The officers and soldiers used the unique verification method of Chinese soldiers: they walked hand in hand and walked through every corner of the minefield, using their feet to prove that there were no remaining landmines in the once daunting death zone. net. It's a little tragic, but more of a confidence.
