Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Tong Datou's nickname was widely spread in the row.

Laughter turns into laughter, joy turns into joy, and the matter of peacekeeping quickly got back on track.

Fifteen days after the official establishment of the fast-reverse platoon, a notice was sent from the capital to Group D Army, requiring 15 people from each unit to be transferred to the Ministry of National Defense Peacekeeping Center to participate in a professional training session.

Shen Jun and Tong Zhi are on the list.

The entire peacekeeping force dispatched to country L included a quick response platoon composed of members of the special forces, an administrative support platoon composed of personnel drawn from the army directly, and three guard platoons drawn from various police units of the D Group Army. , This group of team members constitutes the security work of the entire Chinese peacekeeping force stationed in country L.

In addition, there is an engineering detachment of more than 50 people, including construction, road and bridge, water supply and security detachments.

The medical team has more than 70 people, and consists of outpatient, surgery, internal medicine, dentistry, nursing, sanitation and epidemic prevention teams.

For the guard unit, the responsibility on the shoulders is very important.

After all, whether the security unit, especially the fast-reverse platoon, is capable and capable is related to the safety of all comrades in arms, which is why all the fast-reverse platoons are Qing Yishui special forces members.

Han Xiaobei told Shen Jun and Tong Zhi to earnestly learn the relevant knowledge after arriving at the peacekeeping center, because the training content included many things such as rules of engagement, which must be treated very carefully when they arrive in country L Once an emergency is encountered, the quick response platoon, which is the main force of the entire peacekeeping force, must make the most accurate judgment and response, otherwise it will easily lead to diplomatic accidents.

"Deputy Brigadier, I heard that you have been to peacekeeping?"

Shen Jun remembered one thing. The newly promoted deputy brigade commander of the Tiger Brigade in front of him heard that he had participated in peacekeeping operations before, which made him suddenly interested.

"I've been there." Han Xiaobei said, "I stayed there for a year."

Shen Jun asked: "Have you been to the peacekeeping training center?"

Han Xiaobei said, "I've been there."

Shen Jun said, "Let's go over there and learn something?"

In fact, Shen Jun thinks that his experienced special forces soldiers certainly don't have any problems in combat, so what else do they need to learn when they go to the peacekeeping center?

Han Xiaobei said: "There are so many things to learn, it will be difficult to explain to you for a while, remember, go there and study hard for me, the time is short, but the courses are very close, this task is very important. It's urgent, I'll wait for you to come back here, I guess we'll be leaving after we get back."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Shen Jun and Tong Zhi saluted and expressed their determination by the way.

The peacekeeping task seemed really urgent. After the two of them packed their luggage, the 15 key members who participated in the training camp were sent to the military airport at 10:[-] in the morning, and flew directly to the capital on a military transport plane.

After getting out of the car, the peacekeeping center sent a Coster to rob everyone. After more than an hour's drive, it finally stopped in a compound somewhere in the suburbs of Beijing.

This closed camp is built on the mountain, with beautiful scenery. What impressed Tong Zhi the most was the row of national flags of different countries in front of the office building, lined up and fluttering in the wind, and the blue-and-white olive branch of the earth in the middle. This is the famous emblem of the United Nations.

...

The 15 people didn't even have time to take a breath. After entering the row room and putting down their backpacks, they were immediately notified to report to the electronic classroom.

When we arrived at the electronic classroom, the teacher came up and distributed a curriculum schedule, as well as some books, manuals and other materials.

Tong Zhi looked at the class schedule and took a deep breath.

Sure enough, as Deputy Brigadier Han said, the courses are very tight, many and full.

The courses include an overview of peacekeeping operations, a brief introduction to country L, explosives identification and prevention, rules of engagement, survival skills in the wild, counter-terrorism countermeasures, logistics supplies and equipment verification, foreign affairs etiquette, peacekeeping news guidelines, etc.

"We also need to learn news?"

Tong Zhi couldn't help but quietly asked Shen Jun beside him.

In his opinion, it should be learned by the propaganda officer accompanying the team. How to train a security combat unit like himself to learn?
Shen Jun also shook his head: "I don't know."

The teacher noticed that the two of them were talking, came over and knocked on the table and said: "Although you fast-reversing team members are not engaged in propaganda, you should know that there are not only our propaganda officers, but also many foreign journalists, and some of them are still unsure. With good intentions, you have to understand the peacekeeping news standards first, and then know how to deal with these reporters when you meet them, and don’t follow the truth.”

"So it's like this..." Tong Zhi suddenly realized.

Looking at the entire curriculum, those subjects such as explosive identification and prevention, wilderness survival skills, and anti-terrorism responses are easy to grasp and do not require much effort.

Mainly what etiquette and rules of engagement are the most troublesome.

The reason why you say you have a headache is not bragging.

When he saw the rules of engagement, Tong Zhi was astonished, and he said to Shen Jun: "Isn't this fucking nonsense?!"

nonsense?

Shen Jun saw it, and also found it quite nonsense.

Before the training camp, did veterans like Shen Jun and Tong Zhi always think that the militants in country L were so good?Need to dispatch our old special to guard the peacekeeping team?Send an infantry unit directly, bring armored vehicles and heavy weapons, dare to come to do things, and just do it suddenly.

But after seeing the rules of engagement, the two realized that it was not as simple as they thought.

The essential difference between peacekeeping and combat is that the former is for the purpose of maintaining peace, while the latter is for achieving established military goals.

There are three principles for peacekeeping—first, peacekeeping operations must be carried out with the consent of the country concerned, second, the position must be neutral, and finally, appropriate force can only be used in self-defense or fulfillment of authorization.

The dispatched peacekeeping team was sent at the invitation of the United Nations, and this operation was approved by country L, which satisfies the first point.After arriving in country L, the peacekeeping team cannot get involved in the armed conflict between the government forces and the anti-government armed forces, and must not help one side fight the other, which satisfies the second point.

The last point is that if the opponent does not shoot, the peacekeeping team cannot shoot; those who can fire warning shots must not shoot; those who can hit non-lethal parts must not be killed by one shot.

It was the last point that made Tong Zhi feel nonsense.

The firefight rules formed in accordance with this principle are the daily basic rules, that is, whenever danger is encountered, peacekeepers must first give a verbal warning, and then pull the bolt of the gun to warn.

...

After invalidation, if the opponent makes further actions, he can fire a warning shot.

After it is invalid, the opponent will go further, and then they can enter the link of "shooting non-lethal parts" and "killing".

That is to say, from when you find the enemy to when you kill the enemy, you have to go through 5 procedures.

Shen Jun said, "How can this be done?"

Tong Zhi next to him even laughed out loud and made a virtual gesture of holding a gun, from the first demonstration to the fifth step.

Finally, he bent down with his stomach in his arms: "I feel that if I encounter a really critical situation, I will definitely die if I don't have a chance to do the second step."

Shen Jun also felt that Tong Zhi was right.

Their old specials always pay attention to "fast, accurate, and ruthless" in practice tactics. They are most familiar with reaction shooting and rapid shooting, and only pay attention to "absolutely fast and relatively accurate".

The essence lies in the four words "the enemy fires first".Now they have to warn, pull the bolt, fire the gun, shoot non-lethal parts, and finally kill.

This is simply more useless than the traffic police on the road without guns.

"Comrade teacher!"

He raised his hand.

The instructor asked, "Lieutenant Shen, do you have any questions?"

Shen Jun picked up the information, pointed to the rules of engagement and emergency procedures on it and asked: "I think to follow these steps to deal with the enemy, unless the opponent has no malicious intentions and does not want to kill people. If he wants to kill people, then we must be the ones who die."

The instructor came over, glanced at the rules and regulations, and asked, "Are you from the special forces?"

Shen Jun gave a rather proud "Yes", puffed out his chest and said, "A group army's blood wolf special warfare brigade commando."

The instructor said: "Do you know how many batches of peacekeeping troops we sent abroad before you?"

Test me?

Shen Jun didn't realize why the teacher asked him this question.

What does the teacher want to do?
I just asked about something unreasonable in the rules of engagement. Why did he mention the history of China sending peacekeeping troops?
