"Is it—is it wild meat?"

"Yes, I just caught it when I was setting up camp."

"Can you give me some to try?"

"sure."

"Ah! That's so cunning! I want one too!"

"And me! I want it too!"

"What are you doing? Do you have anything delicious?"

"No more! No more!"

The girls' laughter and joyful voices echoed in every corner of the grassland.

How many opportunities do modern people have to experience the joy of being one with nature?

Everyone should travel more.

I want to go too (sour)

56. Sentry alert

The second phase of sentry training for the recruits has officially begun.

The sentry standing training in the previous stage was only briefly explained.

How to handle emergencies, how to stand guard, and how to hand over shifts.

Because at that time, there was no training on how to hold a gun or shoot.

However, soldiers on guard duty must be on guard with guns.

During this stage, the instructors taught them in detail how to judge friend or foe and how to conduct three-stage alert.

The so-called three-stage alert refers to the alert level of the camp.

The first alert level is low risk of attack.

This refers to the alert level where the garrison force around the camp is relatively strong and no threatening shooting is allowed without special instructions.

At this time, the sentry guard duty also adopted a three-stage emergency response approach.

First, when any unknown person appears, you must verbally ask their identity to determine whether they are a friend or foe; second, when you feel that the enemy poses a threat to you, fire a warning shot to alert friendly forces while intimidating the enemy; finally, if the threat has not been eliminated, aim and shoot.

The second alert level is a moderate risk of attack.

It refers to the alert level where the battle situation around the camp is not optimistic and enemy troops and spies may appear at any time.

At this time, the sentry only needs to perform a two-stage emergency response.

When an unknown person appears, aim directly at them and loudly ask if they are friend or foe. If the person does not identify themselves, you can aim and shoot directly. This level of alert is usually only used when camping in a dangerous area.

The third alert level is a high risk of attack.

This is easy to understand. It naturally means that there are enemy troops everywhere around the camp, and our camp is in a very dangerous situation.

At this time, the sentry is often in a free-shooting state.

Friendly personnel generally won't approach the camp directly from the frontal defense line at this time. If an unknown person appears in the field of vision, it is likely to be an enemy.

So don't be polite, just shoot whoever you see.

After hearing the gunshots, reinforcements will rush to the sentry immediately.

These three levels of alert are the sentry alert methods in the battlefield camp stipulated by the Hua District.

Learning alone is definitely not enough. Many things require practical practice to gain a better understanding.

They have been learning this in the past few days.

When almost everything has been learned, the sentinel's real-time drill will begin.

Generally speaking, the sentry posts in a camp are on guard 24 hours a day.

That means you have to stand guard day and night.

However, the recruits have to train during the day, and the day shift is generally less dangerous, and the situations they face will not be very complicated.

Therefore, there is no need to personally experience the daytime patrols in the camp.

It is mainly night patrol, which is more helpful for the learning of new recruits.

Because of poor vision, situation judgment becomes complicated, so soldiers are required to be more mentally focused.

So the real-time drills were all held at night.

In addition, as mentioned above, the sentry duty is real-time and uninterrupted, usually one shift every two hours.

So from ten o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, there are four shifts in total.

The camp arranged for each sentry shift to be led by a squad leader to carry out shift changes and duties at each sentry post.

Fixed and patrol posts are set up in the duty area, and the squad leader arranges the patrol work at the posts during that time period.

The sentries carry guns but no bullets.

All the recruits' guns were loaded with blank bullets.

That is, there is a sound when it is fired, but there is no bullet.

If the sentry fired the blank, it would certainly wake up everyone in the camp. However, the new recruits did not need to train for emergency night assemblies, so the squad leader asked them not to fire their weapons carelessly.

In addition, since there are only four shifts of sentry every night, there is no need for every recruit to stand guard every night.

Therefore, nine squads take turns to guard the camp posts at night.

Among these four shifts, the two shifts from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock and from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock undoubtedly have the greatest impact on human work and rest patterns.

These two shifts were so disconnected that they had to stand up before waking up, and couldn't fall asleep when they lay down. This was the most torturous thing.

In most cases, soldiers still have to train and fight the next day after being on duty at night.

The enemy won't stop attacking just because you stood guard the night before, right?

Therefore, what the new recruits need to learn most at this stage is to get used to the fatigue caused by irregular work and rest schedules.

That night, the shift assigned to Class A of the Third Platoon was from midnight to 2 a.m.

The previous shift of sentries arrived at their dormitory fifteen minutes in advance and informed the next shift of sentries to get ready.

Then he jumped up from the water and woke up each recruit one by one.

Except for Mizubian and Xia Shu, everyone's expressions were confused, half asleep and half awake.

Xia Shu quickly put on his clothes, put on his gun and was ready to go.

The girls took great pains to put on their training uniforms. They all squinted their eyes, as if they would fall down if the wind blew.

At this time, something strange happened again.

"Genius, genius—wake up and stand guard." Ai'er shook Sheng's shoulders, trying to wake her up.

Sheng didn't move, sleeping like a dead pig.

Ai'er yawned and kicked her hard, but she still didn't move.

"Monitor..."

"It's okay, let me come."

Shuibian walked to Sheng's bed and grabbed her collar.

Then listen to——

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa--"

Five minutes later, the recruits gathered downstairs of the dormitory building and prepared to go on guard.

Sheng Shuang's face was red and swollen, as swollen as a meat bun.

"Sir, why don't you just shake me awake gently? Do you have to use such a violent method?" she said incoherently.

"You deserve it." Al said softly.

Shuibian didn't bother to pay attention to her and started to arrange the positions of the sentries.

"Gate sentry, back gate sentry, patrol sentry, lighthouse sentry, center sentry." Shuibian recited silently and said in a low voice, "Something might happen at the gate sentry, so we need to pay attention."

"Of course I should be the one to take this important post!" Sheng volunteered and raised his non-existent arms.

"You and I will stand at the center sentry post together." Shuibian said without hesitation.

Then he pointed at Xia Shu.

"Xia Shu, go stand guard at the gate. That way I can feel more at ease."

"Yes."

"And then there's another person..."

"Let me do it." Mi Yu suggested.

"Um... OK."

Then Shuibian arranged Xiaomian and Shanmei to stand guard at the back door, Ning and Nya Nya to stand guard at the lighthouse, and Ai'er, Jia and Zhanren to be on patrol.

That's all arranged.

Then Shuibian asked the sentries to go back to their posts to change shifts.

Xia Shu and Mi Yu, carrying guns, walked side by side towards the gate.

Celebrate National Day!

Happy 70th birthday to our motherland!

I was planning to celebrate by publishing 10,000 copies a day, but I was told that if I updated more copies, the copies would be put on the shelves.

Look everyone, I published more than 100,000 words in just half a month.

It's just a frantic typing state.

So tomorrow I will still update three times as usual, and celebrate with a single chapter.

Everyone is going to watch the military parade tomorrow!

I was once one of them. (Proud)
