Why should we stand guard in the open? Isn't this exposing the enemy? Why not a secret whistle?

How was the Japanese army's Yamamoto special agent team's sneak attack on Zhaojiayu exposed? It was the lurking post of the Independent Regiment that fired the life-saving shot. In Li Yunlong's words: "The lurking post is the final guarantee of the life of the entire regiment, and it has to change its position every day. Only the regiment leader and political commissar know the exact lurking point." This plot is not made up, it is common sense in military affairs during the Anti-Japanese War, because the cruelty of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is far beyond our imagination. The Japanese are not Chiang Kai-shek, and they still have a strong initiative in combat.

In fact, there are several types of security posts in the army during the war, including open posts, hidden posts and mobile posts, as well as enhanced versions such as squad posts and platoon posts. Their uses are also different. The questioner obviously only understands It is definitely not enough to know the existence of light and dark whistles. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army controlled the lines of communication and had high mobility. When the situation between the enemy and ourselves was intertwined, they often organized running and night attacks. Some troops who lacked vigilance suffered huge losses for this.

On October 17, 1944, the Eighth Route Army Hebei Reliao Military Region held an enlarged meeting of cadres in Yangjiapuzi Village, Fengrun County, Hebei Province to convey the superiors' instructions on welcoming the major counterattack and study follow-up arrangements. Due to the leakage of the news, the To the Japanese invaders' Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade's attack and encirclement. Although the sentries in the south of the village discovered the enemy immediately, the encirclement was quickly completed due to too many enemy troops. In the end, we lost more than 400 people during the breakout. Two guard companies suffered all casualties, and most of the other victims were local cadres.

In fact, before the meeting, the security department of the military region was vigilant. After all, it was a district-wide cadre meeting, and security issues could not be taken lightly. Not only were there bright and dark sentries at the head of the village, but also a row of sentries at the "Felt Hat Mountain" in the south of the village. If a small group of enemies attacked by surprise, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, there were too many enemies. In the end, because the enemy was outnumbered, we had to disperse and break out. Among them, Comrade Zhou Wenbin, the Minister of Military Region Organization, also died in the battle, and many other comrades were captured.

This battle fully demonstrated the danger of fighting behind enemy lines, but the early warning sentry still played a role. The guard troops quickly launched into the blocking operation, and the participating cadres were also well prepared to break out, otherwise they would be unprepared. In this case, I'm afraid more sacrifices will be made. I watched an Anti-Japanese War movie many years ago, which was probably based on this battle. It was also under a night attack and siege by a Japanese brigade. Our local troops and participating cadres suffered serious losses, and the county party committee secretary was seriously injured and captured. , the people in the village were massacred (a group of children were hidden in a cellar and survived by chance), but it's a pity that I can't remember the title of the film.

Then there will definitely be military fans who ask, wouldn’t the Japanese who were working alone in the 8th Brigade "touch the whistle" like the Yamamoto special agent team? This is to underestimate the combat quality of the Eighth Route Army. The following is a rough explanation of the functions of various sentries and sentries. First of all, I will explain the sentry. This is the sentry that must be sent out after the troops camp, even in areas where the troops are safe. It is a necessary practice stipulated in military doctrine. On the one hand, it shows the regular style of the troops, and on the other hand, it is also a way to deal with emergencies. situation.

The location of the outpost is very important. Most of them are at the entrance of a village, a road junction or a pass. They can monitor and warn at a considerable distance allowed by vision. Not only does the position require a wide field of vision, but it must also be difficult to approach quickly. Location, so a clear sentry does not exactly mean a "clear place". At the same time, in war years, the sentry is very vigilant and will enter a state of alert at the slightest sign of trouble. Those silly sentinels in movies and TV shows that can be killed at a glance are basically nonsense. If the sentry is so easy to kill, what is the difference between it and the decoration?

Then there is the hidden sentry, that is, the latent sentry. This kind of sentry is basically arranged at night, because the field of view is good during the day, and the bright sentry can alert and detect situations far away. However, due to objective conditions at night, the bright sentry cannot The role of the whistle is greatly reduced, which requires the cooperation of the latent whistle. The hidden sentry post is not only very concealed, but the status of the open sentry can be observed at any time. Therefore, as soon as Yamamoto's Japs touched the open sentry, the independent regiment's latent sentry immediately opened fire (remember that in the original Liang Jian novel, the hidden sentry was hidden in the tree), although The soldier was quickly hit and killed by a submachine gun, but the sound of the gunshot was enough to serve as an early warning.

Then there are the platoon sentries and company sentries (there are also squad sentries), which are generally the security forces stationed at the commanding heights near villages and towns when large troops are camping and stationed. As for whether to place a platoon or a company, That depends on the size of the army and the environment at the commanding heights.

This small-scale security force occupies the hills and other places with the most favorable terrain. Even if all the light and dark sentinels fail, they can still stand for a while after the battle starts, buying time for the large forces to react quickly and enter the battle.

For example, the Red 28th Army, which persisted in guerrilla warfare in the Dabie Mountains, would set up light and dark sentries and platoon sentries every time they camped. In the early morning of June 13, 1935, the Red 28th Army arrived at Meida, 30 miles southeast of Guangshan County, Henan The military and political commissar Gao Jingting was very vigilant. When the main force of the army was resting and collecting food in the village, they specially posted a sentry on the high ground behind the village. It was this sentinel that could look far away and promptly discovered the 627th Regiment of the 107th Division of the Northeastern Army that was following. The Red 28th Army deployed and opened fire before the enemy, annihilating it in one fell swoop.

The mobile sentry is easier to understand. It is a sentry without a fixed sentry (also called a mobile sentry). It is an additional supplement to the light and dark sentries. It is responsible for patrolling and guarding near the troop campsite. It also makes up for the surveillance area that cannot be fully covered by light and dark posts. Mobile posts are mostly composed of two or more people. During wartime, the patrol time and shift cycle are basically not fixed, and they can also play a certain role. As for the arrangement of open sentries, hidden sentries, mobile sentries and squad sentries, the commander needs to know the details according to the location and enemy situation.

At the same time, in addition to all sentinels and sentinel positions, whether in war years or in peacetime, there is a tradition of commanders checking sentries from time to time. One is to supervise the status of sentries, and the other is to timely Discover and deal with situations, so the troops' alert deployment is systematic and not as simple as imagined. The slogan "The Sentinel is Sacrosanct" is just a way of reminding the law-illiterates in peacetime. In wartime, there is no such fancy, and practicality comes first.

Even on the wedding night, Li Yunlong, who was supposed to enter the bridal chamber, did not forget to check the sentry. This is the fine tradition of our army and a magic weapon for persisting in fighting behind enemy lines. Standing guard must be done in a bright place!

There are many scenes like this in film and television dramas: Our army's sentries were standing guard in the open, but they were killed by the enemy in a sneak attack, resulting in heavy losses.

So some people may think: If the sentry hides in an extremely hidden corner, so that the enemy does not know where the sentry is, it can not only ensure that one is not exposed, but also preserve oneself, wouldn't it be beautiful? This idea is certainly not wrong, but it does not correspond to the actual situation. 1. What is "standing guard"

The so-called "standing guard" is more of a normalized vigilance, that is, on duty and vigilance at fixed posts, fixed routes, and fixed targets. It has the greatest impact The function is not to prevent enemy attacks, but to indicate identity, warn access control, access inspection, identity verification, etc.

In places like Tiananmen, the sentry post is even a symbol and a piece of scenery; another example is the border defense line, where standing guard is more of a declaration of national sovereignty. The risk is not high, but it affects etiquette and military affairs. The requirements for posture are higher.

The sentry also serves as a sign. Usually when we arrive at a strange place, even if there are no written signs, as long as there are sentries standing guard, it means that the place is a "critical location with a certain level", such as oil depots, ammunition depots, troop stations, temporary camps, bridges, etc. Reservoirs, institutions with a certain level, etc. Therefore, I consciously "don't enter, don't inquire, don't take pictures, don't wait and see."

Strictly speaking, "standing guard" is a routine duty with little risk and basic safety guaranteed. The alert level of "standing guard" is related to the importance of the guarded target, the surrounding social and enemy situation, and the internal combat readiness level. It is also a stand guard, but the difference is huge.

But generally speaking, the main purpose of standing guard is to show a "sense of presence." 2. What are the requirements for "standing guard" during wartime?

If it is a war era, open posts must also exist. Basically, there will be no situation where the open posts are killed quietly.

First of all, if it is wartime, it is impossible to have a sentry on duty alone. Usually there is one light and one dark, one light and two dark, two light and one dark, or two light and dark that can see each other. It consists of sentries or even "serial sentries". As for how to equip them, it is decided by the military chief according to the situation, and the enemy has no idea at all.

The advantage of this is mutual monitoring, mutual care, and mutual support. Some sentries are set up very cunningly. As long as you move one of them, the other will be "touched". Some experienced military officers will even change the location of the secret sentry every once in a while, or set up several secret sentries.

If you can kill several sentries at the same time without alerting the troops, then there is no need to fight. After all, the number of troops with such mobility can be counted on one's fingers, and they must have excellent luck.

Secondly, sentries in wartime are deployed in depth. The sentries at the junction with the enemy have the highest alertness, and have roadblocks and lighting. In terms of troop deployment, they are often a squad or even a platoon. , it is impossible for the enemy to kill them all at once.

Even if the forward sentries are killed, there will definitely be other alert sentries not far from them. In the end, the combat intentions will be exposed, and then the combat significance will be lost.

For example, in the TV series "Bright Sword", the Yamamoto Special Forces "contacted" the Kongjie Independent Regiment stationed in Yangcun as soon as they appeared on the scene. As soon as the sentry gun fired, the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxia Bay knew how to respond. As a matter of fact, Yamamoto's sneak attack was aborted.

Another example is when the Yamamoto Special Forces attacked Zhaojiayu at night and killed the open sentinel. The hidden sentry fired a gun directly to call the police, which bought the independent regiment valuable breakout time. 3. The level of the sentry

The tightness and alert level of the sentry are closely related to the level of the guard target.

Regardless of whether it is a war or a peaceful time, for any unit that has reached the division level or above, the sentinel setting is basically impeccable. In layman's terms: it is "violent".

It can be said that the sentries basically surrounded the headquarters. It is no exaggeration to describe it as three layers inside and three layers outside. In addition to open sentries, there is no shortage of mobile sentries, temporary sentries, and hidden sentries. , let alone a human being, it would be difficult even for a fly to fly in.

Moreover, in order to reach the key core parts, one must first "infiltrate" at least three or four levels of sentry posts. Thinking about the difficulty makes one's scalp numb.

Even if you are an outpost, you will choose a place with a wide field of vision, good sight, and a large gaze control area. You will even use the terrain to find a place where the enemy cannot "directly attack", such as on a mountain or on a roof. , For example, in a big tree, it is basically impossible for the enemy to touch it silently.

In addition, the army will have a sentry checking system. Generally, the officer on duty for the day will check the posts. If there is time, the commander will also come out with a flashlight to check the posts. The sentry really dare not neglect it for a second! The higher the level of the department, the more frequent, more formal, and more impeccable inspections will be.

After discovering the enemy's situation, ancient sentries would use gongs, smoke, shouts, etc. to notify the large troops. Today, sentries will also use trigger and infrared alarms, police dogs, and even landmines during wartime. etc. to assist in "standing guard", further increasing the technical content of vigilance! Conclusion: No matter how you say it, a sentry is a position with a strong sense of responsibility, high vigilance, and certain risks. As a sentry, you must be vigilant and have a sense of combat at all times.

The most unforgettable thing about standing guard in the army is that during the New Year and festivals, the commanders come to stand guard and let us soldiers go back to the barracks to celebrate the New Year...

The dumplings in the army are so delicious... That's it The company commander was too frightened to let go and eat, and after a while he looked towards the sentry post...

During the war, the Eighth Route Army troops camped in a small village and arranged for "clear sentries" to stand guard. At night, the Japanese "Yamamoto Agent Team" came for a sneak attack. Our sentry was hit by a flying knife. Just as the Japanese soldier wanted to celebrate, he was shot dead by a gunman in the dark.

This is a scene from the TV series "Bright Sword": The troops led by regiment leader Li Yunlong rested in a small village, but the Japanese "Yamamoto Agent Team" came over and wanted to eliminate the most obvious sentry first. Drop it, and then sneak into the base camp for a sneak attack.

But the Japanese army never expected that in addition to the open sentry, there was also a secret sentry. The person who shot and killed the "Japanese soldier throwing throwing knives" was the secret sentry lurking in the night.

Although there are certain fictional elements in film and television works, this scene did actually happen during the war era.

The army is equipped with sentry posts. They are a vital part of the army. According to their nature, they can be divided into open posts, hidden posts (latent posts), patrol posts (also called mobile posts), etc.

As one of the major categories, "outposts" are responsible for standing in the most conspicuous place and holding weapons to protect the safety of the station or troops. But the open sentry is also the most dangerous position. If the enemy makes a sneak attack in the dark, this kind of sentry will be the first to attack.

So some people may ask: Isn't it like "giving away a person's head" by exposing the outpost to the enemy in this way? Why should we stand in the most obvious place when standing guard, instead of hiding like a secret sentry? No, the troops naturally have their own considerations when setting up an open post: 01: The duty of an open post is to stand in the open and be exposed to the enemy, so that you can see and listen in all directions, gain a wider field of vision, and collect more information< /p>

The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. This is the position of the outpost role. Their duty is to stand in a conspicuous place and observe the surroundings. In other words: the nature of the outpost position, It is meant to be exposed to others.

In film and television works, we can also see that both the Eighth Route Army and the enemy have clear sentries. And they usually stand in "high" places, such as towers, treetops, tower tops, etc.

Obviously, they are most easily exposed to the enemy's sight. If someone wants to sneak attack, they will choose to kill the sentry immediately, so why stand guard like this?

In fact, there is a certain sacrifice involved. Although standing in a bright place or a high place can easily become a target for others, only in this way can we see further and gain a broader field of vision, thereby realizing the six-way eyes and ears. Look around and collect more first-hand information for the troops.

For example, if there is an enemy sneak attack from a long distance, the outpost can detect it immediately and pass the news through multiple channels to protect the safety of the troops, or to win troops for the counterattack. precious time.

This is why the Mingshao stands in a high place or in the light. Climb high and look far, otherwise too low a height will bring great limitations to their observation of the enemy's situation. 02: The open sentry, hidden sentry, and mobile sentry complement each other and protect each other. This arrangement can maximize the role of the sentry system and indirectly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops

On the other hand, the reason why the open sentry dares to be exposed to the enemy vision, or because they are confident to a certain extent. Generally, places with open sentries will be equipped with "hidden sentries" and "mobile sentries" (mostly hidden sentries), and they will lurk not far from the open sentry. Once the open sentry is threatened or attacked, they will immediately shoot to eliminate the threat and protect the Outpost security.

In "Bright Sword", the Japanese soldiers who sneak attacked our army's open sentry were killed by the "hidden sentry" lurking on the wall. Because the hidden sentry was so secretive, the experienced Li Yunlong was not able to discover where he was hiding for the first time during his patrol. In such a small range, firing from a secret sentry will prove that there is an enemy situation, so almost the entire army can receive the information, and then they can respond in time-either to respond to the battle or to evacuate quickly.

But if only one kind of sentinel is arranged, it is not the most reasonable configuration. The place where the hidden sentry is watching is not far away, and the sense of danger is not as sharp as that of the open sentry. Unlike the patrol sentry, which is more mobile and can patrol a larger area.

The trinity of open sentry, covert sentry, and patrol sentry has different titles and responsibilities, but a clear division of labor and cooperation can maximize the role of sentry posts and protect the safety of the troops. Therefore, open posts must be arranged and stand in obvious places. At the same time, hidden posts and patrol posts are also indispensable, so as to form a "thick wall" for the army to resist the enemy. 03: In peacetime, the bright post is a direct reflection of the image of the army. Standing in the bright place for everyone to see is to demarcate boundaries and also symbolizes: warning, majesty, and sanctity

Set up a bright post in war times The sentry is because there may be a "hand-to-hand encounter" at any time, and a war is imminent. But nowadays, when there is no war, many places have not removed open sentries. Why is this?

The answer is very simple. The outposts in peacetime are more of a warning, creating a solemn image of the unit in the place they are guarding, and at the same time allowing the people to distinguish clearly what is behind them. " place.

For example, at some military gates (Tiananmen Square, military compounds, etc.), you can see the existence of clear sentries for the first time. They remind you immediately: You cannot break in easily here. If you want to visit or use the restroom for personal matters, please take a detour.

That’s why the outpost has to stand in such an obvious place. Only by letting the people see it for the first time can it better serve as a reminder. While establishing a majestic and disciplined image for the troops, it also draws a clear line between the area where the outpost is located and other places, which invisibly makes the people feel better. Be measured.

Imagine that the outpost stands in the yard and waits for passers-by to break in before intervening. Then it will not be able to serve as a warning and reminder. Therefore, the "warning" is placed in the front, which is the outpost. grounds in a conspicuous place. 04: The outpost is conspicuous, but it is not a decoration: the sentry position is a fighting position, and they are equipped with guns and live ammunition. The outpost is the first line of defense of the army

Finally, I want to correct a misunderstanding among people: Some people think that the outpost is a post where people are killed, and that this living target has no combat effectiveness. In fact, this view is completely wrong. The Ming Sentinel is not only a simple duty post, it is also a "combat position" equipped with sophisticated firearms and live ammunition, ready for battle at any time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the open whistle can guard against many people. On the one hand, it is ordinary people, who are warned to stay away from military restricted areas; on the other hand, it is to prevent enemy sneak attacks, although they are prepared to fight. In general:

Although the open sentry is a dangerous position, it is an indispensable part of the military system. An army cannot only have hidden sentries and mobile sentries. In that case, the system will be incomplete and the effectiveness of the system will not be complete. The effect is not as strong as the combination of light, dark and patrol.

However, just setting up hidden sentries will not be able to collect further and more timely information, and will make the troops passive.

It is precisely the existence of posts like "outpost" that allow the army to train and develop with peace of mind and protect the army. Only when the military is strong can it better protect the homeland and the country, and can the security of people and the country be fully guaranteed.

Therefore, the outpost is not a decoration, but a very great position. They risk their lives to work and loyally serve the people and the country behind them, which is worthy of praise.

How to arrange secret sentries in Tiananmen Square? It can only be in the form of public duty and plainclothes covert sentry.

Generally speaking, in a peaceful environment, military bases, barracks, government agencies at the municipal level or above, major ministries, important warehouses, bridges, etc., must have sentries on duty to monitor the comings and goings. People and vehicles are interrogated and inspected, and the sentry is a symbol of state power that is a deterrent and serves as a warning.

Who dares to mess with a sentry equipped with a 95mm rifle? Its deterrent effect is very powerful! Therefore, in a peaceful environment, the role of an open post is much greater than that of a hidden sentry.

Even in a war environment, open posts and hidden outposts must cooperate. In a war environment, not all enemies are necessarily enemies. There is also a government, and there must be order. This requires open posts to guard and idle people. If you can't wait for provocation, avoid it.

In Huang Zhizhong's version of "Bright Sword 2", "Zhaojiayu" has both bright posts and hidden posts. The orange arrow points to the bright posts.

The secret whistle was lurking in the bushes. This secret whistle soldier provided Li Yunlong and the independent regiment headquarters with a 5-minute warning time and contributed to the final breakout.

Although "Bright Sword" is a TV series, this plot is real. In a war environment, there must be hidden sentries to observe the surrounding environment and serve as an early warning.

In short, both the clear post and the hidden sentry play a great role. In principle, the clear post is a symbol of exercising political power in an environment of social order, while the hidden sentry is used to prevent enemy raids and enemy special attacks in a war environment. Requires covert observation/vigilance.

Depends on where you stand guard

Minggang is a public warning to enemies at home and abroad, all types of criminals, the guarded targets are sacred and inviolable, and to deter their arrogance and daring If you step beyond the threshold, you will be severely punished.

Standing guard is a basic skill for soldiers, and it is very hard work. "10 minutes on stage, 10 years of hard work off stage."

Every move of the sentry at the gate of the troops stationed in Hong Kong and Macao, including standing at attention, taking a rest, standing, and walking, are all the result of months of diligent practice, just like the guard of honor of the three services, or the 70th anniversary of the National Day It meets the same requirements as the grand military parade. When the masses see the sentinels standing guard there, they will look at them with admiration, and when they see the majestic image of the sentinels, they will be shocked to their hearts. The great socialist motherland is strong, and the great People's Liberation Army is strong. Shock the country's prestige, shock the army's prestige.

In addition to open posts, there are also hidden posts and mobile sentries to cooperate. In some areas where the two armies confront each other on the southwest border, we have to beware of sneak attacks by foreign troops and must have hidden posts. The secret sentry should be even more vigilant, because the life of the entire unit is in your hands, and if you are careless, they will all be wiped out. There are also hidden posts in important places in the mainland to guard against hidden criminals who may cause sabotage.

What the outposts guard is not the enemy, but the idlers. For example, a military unit is stationed in Shanghai. I remember it was near the gas station next to Zhabei No. 8 Middle School. Every time I take 845, I Every time I pass by there, there are sentries standing guard. The sign says that the sentry saints are inviolable and that it is strictly prohibited to approach the important military area. No one wants to get into trouble by approaching there. This is the deterrence of the open sentry. What if it is a hidden sentry? There are no signs or sentries, so the enemy cannot be discovered, but what if the person coming is not the enemy? There are all old-fashioned communities around. Who lives in this community? Old people, aunt, what are you going to do after dinner at five or six in the evening? Let's dance in the square. It just so happens that your station has the largest open space around. If you don't come here, where will you be? Suppose you are a sentry on a secret sentry, and at five or six o'clock in the evening, a few people suddenly come in, thinking they are enemies, and quietly touch them and shout not to move. When the people turn around, they see three aunts. The aunt asks you: "Young man, why are you so noisy?" Yelling? With a black look on your face, you quickly explained that this is a military area and you can't come in. The aunt said: There are no sentries here. It's just a big courtyard according to the second sister's standards. Why can't you come in? You were so choked that you couldn't find the way, so you finally persuaded them to leave. Before they returned to the secret sentry point, five more aunts came in. Okay, after another half an hour of talking, they finally persuaded them to leave. The bus next to them stopped. Dozens of aunts came down, and you were dumbfounded. Is this an undercover whistle? Therefore, hidden sentries are basically only used in wartime. In peacetime, open sentries are basically the main ones.

Let’s distinguish between situations.

The military sentries are:

p>

Minggang (post), hidden post (post)

Minggang is generally established in a peaceful environment to protect the safety and quietness of the target. Its main task is to prevent strangers Close to the target (similar to today's security), especially military bases such as military ports, airports, command offices and ammunition depots. Of course, the same is true for military camps.

Hidden posts (posts) are generally used in military confrontations. The main task of the area (battlefield, position) is to prevent enemy sneak attacks. Such posts are fixed, but they must be lurking. There must be special secret codes and passwords. There must also be mobile posts and commanders among several lurking posts. The goal of checking posts is to prevent latent posts from being attacked and captured.

Standing guard has three main functions: first, to deter the police; second, to show their presence; third, to stand guard in a clear place. , which serves the purpose of intimidating the enemy and highlighting their presence. If you stand in the dark, you will not be able to achieve the above two functions. In the war years, the main function of the army's sentry is to provide warning and warning. At this time, there are both open and hidden posts to warn the enemy. If you want to sneak attack on the camp, you must pass through the sentry, and the sentinel on the secret post can issue a warning in time.

Government agencies, military stations, important units, flag-raising platforms and other places symbolize national sovereignty and dignity, in order to prevent the little ones. If there is unreasonable harassment or destruction, soldiers will be arranged to stand guard. People will be in awe when passing by soldiers and will not harass them unreasonably. This can also prevent terrorists from deliberately damaging the place, which enhances the solemnity of the station. It can also ensure order.

There are military posts and patrols on national borders all year round. The purpose of this is mainly to demonstrate its existence and declare its sovereignty. A country’s sovereignty needs to be defended without the support of armed force. National sovereignty will become a mere formality. On disputed national boundaries, it is even more necessary to arrange for military personnel to be on duty to prevent people from other countries from illegally entering, moving or damaging national boundary markers.

In this case, the military is on guard duty to let others know that this is our country and it is sacred and inviolable!

In the war years, military stations were divided into clear posts and hidden posts. Hidden posts were on duty hidden in places where they were not easily found. If the bright post is killed, the dark post can issue a warning in time and kill the invading enemy. At this time, hidden posts are particularly important, often related to the life and death of the army.

This is not the entire actual situation. There are open posts and hidden posts, depending on the needs. Under normal circumstances and what we see, there are many whistles. Standing guard has different responsibilities and tasks in different places and under different circumstances. For example, the guard post at the door of a normal guard ensures safety and security. It faces people and things in the open and cannot be "dark". It serves as a warning to people in the open and to the bad guys. Deterrence is better for security. For example, to guard important people or important materials, there are open posts and hidden sentries, each with its own role. For example, the sentry guarding the national flag is more of a ceremony (of course there is a guard task), highlighting the sanctity of the national flag and symbolizing the sanctity of the motherland. However, in areas where the two armies are at war or where enemy agents are rampant, sentries will be posted outside the open posts. In situations where special protection and vigilance are required but cannot be made public, especially if the enemy cannot know about it, there may only be a secret sentinel.

Haha, the leader is quite vigilant! As the saying goes, you stand guard to protect your home and country. It can be seen that the role of sentry is very important. This question may seem confusing, but as long as you understand a few layers of meaning, you will understand it and your doubts will be solved. First of all, we need to know why sentries are set up?

Explain that region is important here. To prevent interference from outsiders and sabotage by enemy spy intelligence, it is necessary to set up obvious signs, sentries, fences, and high walls at traffic arteries and intersections that must be passed in and out to inform the public to remind and distinguish them, and not to blind them at will. Wander around. The clear sentry not only reflects the importance of this area, but also can register, inspect, and verify people, vehicles, and items coming in and out to determine whether to release them, and plays a role in maintaining regular order and daily safety. Secondly, what does standing guard in the open mean?

Standing guard in a clear place indicates the legitimacy and legality of the sovereignty, ownership and use rights of this area, and marks the warning and protection of the area. The scope of the area is sacred and cannot be violated, violated or exceeded at will. Otherwise, it will be violated Those who violate the red line will be punished openly and expelled, while those who are more serious will be brought to justice or directly detained, restrained or shot in the head. For example, whoever dares to attack a sentry in broad daylight or in a dark corner is committing the most serious act of provocation and hostility. The consequences will definitely be a shot on the head or a seizure, and he will be dealt with severely and quickly. Third, distinguish the differences in environment and tasks between peacetime and wartime, peacetime and emergency times

In peacetime and ordinary times, there are more signs and symbolic functions of sentries in the open, and there are fewer or no enemy agents. Their personal safety is relatively guaranteed; in times of war or emergency, or when the warning target is particularly important, and the surrounding environment is relatively complex and contains many uncertainties and uncontrollables, it is different. Not only must the warning be strengthened, but also layers of defenses must be fortified in addition to clear posts. In addition, there will be no shortage of secret posts, mobile posts, patrol posts, and latent posts, and the number of people and the frequency of changing posts will be increased depending on the situation. Loaded guns, passwords, and agreement letters are all carefully considered to ensure nothing goes wrong. Unless the parties involved were personally present, the secrets contained therein would be insignificant to outsiders.
