Chapter 168 Unique to Our Army: Nighttime Awarding of Medals

Not only Qi Hui, but everyone else was equally shocked.

The saying "sentinels are sacred and inviolable" is no joke; those who stand guard are elite soldiers.

They have received comprehensive military training and possess strong technical and tactical skills.

Furthermore, sentries must be proficient in various procedures, be able to react quickly, and respond promptly to various emergencies.

If necessary, they can even fire their guns.

To put it bluntly, the sentry position is the easiest to earn merit.

Qi Hui was just an actor. Although he had several military skills, in other people's eyes, he was just a simple actor.

Could it be that Wang Hong really intends to use him, Qi, as a special forces soldier?

Could it be... that I, Qi, also have a chance to receive a third-class merit?!

Thinking of this, Qi Hui suddenly became excited; the young soldier longed to make a name for himself.

He wasn't a soldier, but he longed for it too!
Faced with the astonishment of so many people, Wang Hong smiled faintly: "Bring out the stools, come and sit down."

Upon hearing this, a group of people quickly took out their stools and formed a perfect circle, waiting for Wang Hong to continue.

"Now I will explain the correct procedure for handling emergencies while on guard duty," Wang Hong said slowly.
"Qi Hui, listen carefully, others can listen too, broaden their horizons."

Qi Hui took a deep breath, concentrated, and focused intently.

"Ahem... First of all, if you see someone approaching, wearing a military uniform and with a pass, don't be too nervous. Check the pass; if there's no problem, let them pass. If there's a problem, call to verify," Wang Hong said slowly.
"This is the first point."

"Secondly, if you see someone in plain clothes approaching, no matter who it is, ask for the password first."

"If the other person stands still and doesn't answer, ask them what they came here for."

"If the enemy suddenly rushes up, the main sentry will sound the alarm, and the assistant sentry will hand the magazine to the main sentry."

"Wow!" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. These rookie actors were hearing about such a formal procedure for the first time, and they were incredibly fascinated.

Qi Hui felt the same way; the thought of standing guard later made him even more excited.

“I’ll continue,” Wang Hong said. “If someone attacks, after loading the bullets, fire the first shot into the air as a warning shot.”

"If he doesn't stop, shoot him directly with the second shot."

"What if we stop?" Qi Hui raised his hand and asked curiously.

Wang Hong explained, "That's the job of the camp guards. You just need to report the situation."

"Understood!" Qi Hui said energetically, "Let's begin, I'm ready!"

Third-class... no, I mean guard duty, here I come!

"Oh, I forgot to mention earlier," Wang Hong suddenly said, "You don't need any of these."

"You're standing guard downstairs, it's just a symbolic position. You'll be armed with a gun for the sake of appearance, but you won't be armed with bullets."

"We don't need you at the garrison gate."

Qi Hui's face immediately darkened. "Then why did you say so much?!"
Wang Hong looked at Qi Hui with great interest, his eyes filled with amusement. "I don't believe I can't deal with you, kid!"
Let's see if you dare to slack off like this during my training again!

"Squad Leader Wang," Qi Hui cracked his neck and slowly asked, "How's our Marine Brigade's bayonet training? Is it impressive?"

"Oh?" Wang Hong became interested: "So-so, but it can still handle sparring with the army."

"Alright, shall we practice tomorrow?" Qi Hui sneered and said slowly.

"If you're interested, I'll definitely oblige!" Wang Hong laughed heartily, extremely satisfied.

I'd really like to see what good things you've learned in the army!

"The training session tomorrow morning has been changed," Wang Hong said. "I will teach you bayonet training."

"Wow wow wow!"

Now, the aspiring actors were even more excited.

They looked at Qi Hui, then at Wang Hong, and everyone's faces were full of anticipation.

I'm even more excited than when I learned about the guard duty procedures.

……

Ten minutes later, Qi Hui put on his training uniform, helmet, and ammunition pouch, and stood guard at a red and white sentry post downstairs from the barracks. The sentry post looked similar to the kind used by traffic police directing traffic on the street.

Qi Hui touched his training uniform and the private's rank insignia on his collar, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

As Wang Hong said, this sentry post is actually symbolic.

There's usually no one there. They only send someone to stand there to get by when the leaders come to inspect.

Looking around, bored Qi Hui didn't see anyone, so he immediately moved his finger and removed the magazine to check it.

It was completely empty inside, nothing at all, just floating around.

Click click click~
Qi Hui pulled the bolt, and the sound of metal clashing and scraping echoed in his ears, which was pleasant.

But soon, Qi Hui lost interest.

With the [Firearms Proficiency] skill, this gun held no secrets for him, and after a couple of tries, Qi Hui lost interest.

"Sigh, I have to stand guard for four hours..." Qi Hui sighed, cursing inwardly. "It's just slacking off a little, isn't it?"
As for this?
tomorrow!

Tomorrow he's going to teach Wang Hong a lesson and show him what it means to be a hidden master!

As Qi Hui thought this, he couldn't help but yawn. He had been yelled at early this morning and hadn't slept well.

Mainly because he had been away from the military for too long and was not used to the local schedule, Qi Hui began to feel sleepy after a short while.

It's not just a matter of schedule; I trained all day today, it's exhausting.

Soon, Qi Hui tilted his head back and dozed off, resting his head against a steel pipe behind him.

The conditions were even worse when he worked on the construction site. The machines were noisy and there was nowhere to go. Qi Hui tried to sleep standing up many times.

The effect is pretty good; my sleep quality is quite good.

I never imagined that this skill would still be useful after time travel; it's truly outrageous.

Soon, the sound of snoring filled the air. Qi Hui tilted his head back, mouth open, motionless, his hand still tightly gripping the Type 95 rifle.

……

In the darkness, the roar of car engines could be heard as two military jeeps drove along the road.

"Brigade Commander, the situation is even better than we thought," a staff officer chuckled.

"Not bad." The middle-aged man in military uniform had a faint smile on his face.

After visiting several camps, the situation was not as dire as he had imagined.

Although they sometimes bicker and fight, these kids haven't violated any rules.

The barracks were in good order, and the soldiers were training normally without any slackening.

"Brigade Commander, after we get to this place, do we continue?" the staff officer asked. "This is the place I mentioned, the place where we go out to pick up people and find a designated driver."

"No, it's late already, let them get some rest," the middle-aged man chuckled.

Along the way, he also learned the inside story: some of the actors here were from a TV series being produced by the Naval Political Department's Propaganda Department.

Actors aren't real soldiers, so it's too much to apply the strict requirements of the military to them.

"Password!"

At that moment, a shout came from outside the car, and the vehicle slowly came to a stop.

Several middle-aged, burly men got out of the car, and the sentry on guard quickly stopped asking questions because he saw the two bars and four stars on their shoulder insignia.

"We'll just go for a walk in the barracks; we don't need to disturb the others' rest," the brigade commander said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!" the sentry immediately agreed, but even so, he still informed his superiors.

Soon, the middle-aged men walked around the camp. Some places had already turned off the lights and people were resting, while other rooms had lights on and people were on duty.

Like everywhere else, it was orderly and well-organized.

“Not bad…” The middle-aged man nodded, preparing to stroll around for a bit before heading back.

Then...then he saw Qi Hui sleeping under the guard post of the barracks.

In an instant, his face turned dark.
