A combat readiness exercise of an engineer group in the Xinjiang Military Region bid farewell to the "script"
　　-the artillery fire suddenly reached the mobile echelon of "blow up"

　　Not long ago, an engineer regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region carried out a combat readiness drill, and the motorized echelon drove out of the camp and advanced towards the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

　　The sergeant pilot Yang Kai's mind always tightened a string: this time the gunfire must be indispensable, and the "enemy" may come anytime.

　　Unexpectedly, the convoy traveled more than 50 kilometers without encountering any "enemy".

　　How could the past drills go so smoothly! Yang Kai is very familiar with "scripts": in the several drills last year, usually shortly after the motorized echelon left the camp, they would frequently encounter various special situations and dangers.

　　But this time, the convoy drove smoothly all the way to an open area. He didn't wait for the expected "enemy situation", but waited for the instruction to "adjust and rest". The heartstrings stretched for so long, and the officers and soldiers sighed with relief and skillfully parked the car in place.

　　"It was attacked by the'enemy' artillery fire and moved quickly..." Unexpectedly, just after everyone had a rest, the "enemy situation" would come unexpectedly. Yang Kai was agitated, and when he was about to step on the accelerator to drive away, he found that the shoelaces of combat boots had been caught by objects on the side. This delay caused Yang Kai and his transport vehicle to withdraw from the battle instantly.

　　Many officers and soldiers were caught off guard by the eagerness of this exercise. Corporal Yelpani forgot to withdraw the triangle stowage, which delayed the transition time; Corporal Hekang turned down the volume of the walkie-talkie during a break, which led to a wrong instruction...

　　"Paralysis is our common enemy, and we must not take it lightly at any time!" At the resumption scene, the commander used the term "case" to organize everyone to review and reflect.

　　After repacking and setting off, the officers and soldiers continued to move towards the target area in accordance with the plan. After experiencing this lesson, everyone dare not neglect, even though the road ahead is smooth, they remain vigilant and guard against the "enemy" that may come at any time.
