China News Service, Kunming, May 5 (Liu Lu, Li Changqi, Zhang Binbin) Recently, a chemical defense emergency drill of a brigade of the 75th Group Army was launched in the hinterland of eastern Yunnan.
Braving the smoke of poisonous gas and gunpowder, the officers and soldiers successively completed subjects such as body protection, poison detection, contamination inspection, spray vehicle decontamination, and nuclear explosion observation.
Through actual combat drills, the ability to effectively test the chemical defense support capabilities of the grassroots has laid a solid foundation for speeding up adapting to the needs of the battlefield.

In this exercise, the brigade organically integrated support and combat capabilities, highlighted problem orientation, and carried out investigations on suspected poisoning agents, identifying the types of poisoning agents and marking borders when they were attacked by chemical agents in a combat environment. In complex battlefield environments, chemical defense professionals are organized to specialize in refining, further shortening the distance between the training ground and the battlefield.

"At Height 7, they were attacked by the "enemy" chemically, and some people had difficulty breathing. They needed to go to find out the type of poison and mark the boundary." After receiving the order, the poison reconnaissance team quickly checked the equipment, completed the whole body protection, and made a leap forward" "Poisoned area", I saw the scout lowered his lunge and operated it carefully, and the inside of the drug detection tube showed rose red.
The poison scout quickly planted the flag and ran to the next poisoning point.
After all the poisoning points were identified, the air, soil, etc. were sampled immediately, and the poisoning boundary was demarcated, so as to provide a foolproof security guarantee for the passage of the subsequent troops.
