Chapter 1191 Minesweeper

Sitting on the bus heading to the county town, Zhang Kun looked at the scene of regressing outside the window. Yes, he left without saying goodbye again.

I went to bed early last night, and then got up early today. Before my mother and grandmother woke up, Zhang Kun packed up his things and went out quietly.

This time, Zhang Kun did not choose to drive Dabai together. First, the destination of this trip was a bit far away, and it was too tiring to drive by himself. Second, Dabai had not registered his license yet, and if he was driving a long journey, maybe before Nanyun arrived, he was stopped by the traffic police uncle in the middle of the way.

So Zhang Kun finally chose to take a bus, and long-distance buses to Nanyun must be available in the county town, so Zhang Kun is now rushing to the county town.

As for the issue of sneaking away, Zhang Kun thought about it for a long time yesterday, but still couldn't think of a suitable reason to ask his mother to allow it. He just came back and asked to go on a long trip again.

This trip to Nanyun is a must for Zhang Kun. Although he didn't know how helpful it would be to the mine clearance work of the Nanyun Military Region this time, Zhang Kun knew that if he didn't go this time, he would probably feel uneasy for the rest of his life.

So, when he had to go and there was no right reason, Zhang Kun chose to sneak out.

As for when he returned home after this incident, Zhang Kun recognized whether he was a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots or a pork butt with a shoulder pole.

At least, with grandma here, my mother would never really break his leg. As for the pain of flesh and blood, it is probably inevitable.

However, it was still fine. Now I open a clinic. Even if I was injured and hurt, it doesn’t matter. I don’t have to pay for my own medical treatment.

Zhang Kun comforted himself so much.

At this moment, the cell phone in Zhang Kun's pocket suddenly rang, Zhang Kun's eyes hopped, and he took out his cell phone. It was indeed my mother's phone number.

Zhang Kun hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the answer button.

Although he was sneaked out this time, Zhang Kun also learned some of the previous experiences and lessons, knowing that his mother still needs to answer her phone number, at least she can let her mother know that she is still fine now and don’t worry too much. After she goes back, she will be taught a little less.

After the phone was connected, my mother's cold voice came from over there: "Where are you now?"

"It's on the bus to the county town." Zhang Kun replied honestly.

"What are you going to do?"

"Going far away."

"What are you doing when you go on a long trip?"

“There’s something to do.”

"What's the matter?"

"…..." Zhang Kun remained silent.

"How long will it take?" my mother asked again.

"have no idea."

My mother fell into silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, she said coldly: "I don't care where you are going or what you are going to do. You will be back now and you will be allowed to appear in front of me within half an hour. Now, immediately, immediately."

Zhang Kun was silent for a while, then whispered: "I need to go this time."

"Must go? Didn't you say you had to go?"

Zhang Kun was silent.

Zhang Kun didn't say anything, and my mother's breathing sound slowly came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, OK, Zhang Kun, you are really hard now. I just came back yesterday and I was missing for me today. Do you still treat this place as a home?"

"Even if you are a hotel, you have to stay for a few more days. You will leave yesterday and today. What do you want to do?" My mother roared.

Zhang Kun didn't speak.

I fell into silence again on the phone.

Slowly, grandma's voice of persuasion came from the other end of the phone. After a while, my mother spoke again.

"Have you brought the clothes?" my mother asked coldly.

"Take it."

"Is there enough money on you?"

“Some more.”

"Be careful when you are alone when you go out and call me every day."

"Um."

"If anything, call home."

"Um."

"We'll have a good talk after we come back this time."

Zhang Kun paused, then nodded gently: "Yes!"

After saying that, the phone fell silent again, and then more than ten seconds later, the phone hung up from my mother.

Listening to the sound of the phone, Zhang Kun slowly let out a sigh of relief, his heart a little relieved. The level in front of him has passed. As for the time being after he comes back this time, let's talk about it.

Zhang Kun sighed secretly, then turned his eyes to the thunderstorm that had been flying with the car next to him. Zhang Kun did not put away his phone, but took out a Bluetooth headset from his other pocket and put it on his ear.

Then he turned on his phone, dialed a phone number with an empty number in a similar way, and waited for two seconds, and then Zhang Kun whispered: "Thunderstorm."

The thunderstorm in the air looked over.

"Let me introduce the situation there."

Lei Yu nodded and then slowly began to tell him. Lei Yu first briefly introduced the origins of some China-Vietnam border mines.

In fact, the mine problem on the Sino-Vietnam border is mainly some historical problems. The most important one is naturally when the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was fought at the border in the early stage.

Compared with our Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Vietnamese army is completely incomparable. For the Vietnamese army, they have almost no choice but to guerrilla warfare, burying landmines, and shooting black guns.

But in addition to the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, minefield mines can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, when France invaded Vietnam, the Black Flag Army and the Qing military armed forces went to war with France many times, and mines were present at that time.

Secondly, Japan invaded Vietnam during World War II, and China sent expeditionary forces and buried many mines with Vietnamese guerrillas.

Therefore, after these three major battles and the accumulation of wars for nearly a hundred years, it is no surprise that there are many mines on the Sino-Vietnam border, and it has also formed a world-famous minefield.

Minesweeping is a task approved by the State Council and the Central Military Commission to comprehensively remove the minefields left on the Sino-Vietnam border and completely remove the mines left on the border.

Since the early 1990s and normalized relations between China and Vietnam, two large-scale border mine clearance missions have been carried out in 1992 and 1997 respectively.

In addition to two large-scale mine clearance missions, some daily mine clearances have never stopped at other times, and it has been seventeen years since then.

Last year, the leadership group composed of the Nagyun Provincial People's Government, the Southern Theater Command Army, and the Nagyun Provincial Military Region once again began again.

Thunderstorm is a minesweeping warrior in this minesweeping mission. He also died in March this year because of unfortunate contact with a landmine at the age of 22.

After listening to Lei Yu's words, Zhang Kun was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Are there many like you?"

"Do you talk about minesweepers? About 400 minesweepers participated in this mission," said Lei Yu.

Zhang Kun shook his head.

Lei Yu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about the sacrifice?"

Zhang Kun nodded.

Lei Yu recalled it and said: "The original plan for this mission was one year. It has been more than nine months now. There are more than 400 people participating in the mine clearance mission. The number of casualties has so far reached 35, and the casualties rate is more than 8%.

Zhang Kun's mouth moved, and then fell into deep silence.

The mission of more than 400 people was killed and killed 35 people. Of course, not all of these 35 people were sacrificed. However, even if they were not killed, they would be severely disabled. Moreover, this mission has not yet ended.

Zhang Kun swallowed his saliva slightly dry throat, and then asked in a low voice: "The loss is so serious, is that land really that important?"
