BEIJING, Feb. 8 -- The Chinese peacekeeping engineer contingent to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) successfully completed a road rescue mission on February 6, local time.
当地时间2月6日，中国赴刚果（金）维和工兵分队官兵接到任务区民事部门救援通知后，成功实施一起道路救援。
A sudden heavy rain hit the Bukavu area of South Kivu province in the DRC on February 6. A 500-meter-long section of the N2 Road in Bukavu was silted, with five civilian vehicles trapped and the traffic interrupted. After receiving the notice, the Chinese peacekeeping engineer contingent immediately sent personnel and equipment to the scene.
当天，刚果(金)南基伍省布卡武地区突降暴雨， N2路布卡武路段约500米长的路段出现泥石淤积，导致5台车辆受困、交通中断。接到任务区民事部门救援通知后，我维和工兵分队立即派出人员及装备赶赴现场。
The roads in the disaster area were covered by silt, slippery and muddy, difficult to drive. Five civilian vehicles were stuck in the mud, while dozens of vehicles were blocked on the road.
由于事发区域道路被淤泥完全覆盖，路面湿滑泥泞难行，有5台民众车辆陷入泥坑无法脱困，几十台车辆受阻。
The peacekeepers tried to drive the bulldozer to clear the road silt in sections, diverting the traffic at the same time. They also used the bulldozer winch to drag and rescue the trapped vehicles in batches.
为了尽快疏通道路，救援官兵一边疏导交通，一边驾驶推土机分段清理路面淤泥，同时利用推土机绞盘装置对受困车辆分批进行拖拽救援，帮助车辆脱离脱困。
Finally, five trapped vehicles were safely towed out after more than three hours’ intense operation. The road silt was cleared, and the N2 road was open to traffic. As a result, the scientific and efficient rescue by the Chinese peacekeepers was highly praised by the local people.
经过3个多小时的紧张救援，5台受困车辆被安全拖出，路面淤泥得到清理，N2道路恢复通行。我维和工兵分队官兵不畏艰辛、科学高效的救援受到过往群众高度评价。
