XLII. The smell of charred corpses

After the three long and two short toad cries responded to the three short and two long frog cries, Yan Zhi and the three of them converged.

This "password" of responding to the frog's cry with the toad's cry is a bit strange, which makes Yan Zhi feel old-fashioned to the scum, but it is very effective, and the ghost can't imagine that the toad and the frog can be used as the team's password tonight.

To be honest, Yan Zhi can't learn, whether it's the sound of a toad or a frog.

It's pretty much the same as learning them to jump.

Kwong Dawei said that they had been observing the surrounding area of the village for a while, but they did not find any devils. From time to time there were painful moans in the village, and just two minutes ago, I heard the cry of a child. Since they did not have the order of the commander, they could only be anxious and did not dare to act rashly.

Yan Zhiqiang suppressed the urge in his heart to rush in to save the child, but his unique intuition of a top killer told him that there were many crises in the stockade, and there were infinite killing opportunities, and if he rushed in to save people, he would die.

Yan Zhi comforted Kuang Dawei and them, people must be saved, but they can't act rashly, otherwise not only will they not be able to save people, but the team will also be in danger of capsizing.

Kuang Dawei and the three of them covered, Yan Zhi, Wu Zhonghua, Xu Zheyou, Fang You, and the four of them climbed a big tree, condescendingly, and looked into the village.

There was a fire in the stockade, and there was fire and black smoke everywhere, baking away the light fog around it.

Looking at the ground in the stockade, Yan Yi trembled and was angry in his heart. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, most of them were young and middle-aged men, most of them were wearing short clothes, and they were holding bows and arrows, shotguns, or farm tools and sticks in their hands to protect themselves, some of them fell in front of their own houses, and some fell in the open space outside the house.

This made Yan Zhi even more firm in his judgment. The devil entered the village and killed all the young and strong men, leaving the old and young women and children as live bait, waiting and forcing this surprise attack on the winged valley team to go in and save people.

However, no one could be heard calling for help at this time.

There is only one gate in the village, and several firewood piles at the gate are also lit, and the fire is burning.

Looking inside from the gate of the village, you can vaguely see a few people tied or hanging on several big trees in the village, and the strange thing is that there are a few small piles of firewood in this open space, but the devil did not light the firewood, so the light is relatively dim, and it is not clear whether a few people are alive.

Even though the four of them were on high ground, they still smelled a scorching and stinking smell from time to time.

Yan Zhi held the binoculars in his hand and asked in a low voice, "This seems to be more than just the smell of corpses being burned. ”

Wu Zhonghua pouted his nose and said in a low voice: "This seems to have some fur scorched with the smell of scorched corpses." ”

"It's the smell of burnt wolf fur." Xu Zheyou said in a low voice, "I used to encounter wolves when I was fighting guerrillas, and I killed a few big wolves. The wolf meat was too rough to chew and not tasty, and it was a hot day when the wolf meat could not be stored, so we left a few wolf legs, and all the remaining wolf meat and wolf skin were burned to prevent rotting. At that time, the smell of roasted wolves was the same as the smell coming from the stockade now, with a smell of burnt meat and fishy skin. ”

Fang You said: "It makes sense, although people also have hair, but it will disappear in an instant after being burned by fire, and wolf hair is different from human hair, it is thick and multi-connected with wolf skin, which is very fire-resistant, and the wolf has a wolf smell, and it is even more delicious when burned by fire, and it can smoke people to death." ”

Yan Zhi nodded: "Just now, I just judged that there were snipers among the devils from the fact that the wolves did not enter the village."

I speculate that the devils must have been worried that letting the wolves into the village would affect the determination of the Chinese army to enter the village to save people, so they let the snipers shoot the wolves that entered the village.

The sound of sniper rifle gunfire is small and can be ignored even in the silence of the night, while the sound of the 38 big cover can be heard several miles away in the middle of the night and is easily exposed.

A companion was killed, so the wolves were forced to withdraw from the stockade, and they were afraid to enter but reluctant to leave.

The devils were worried that the dead wolf would arouse the suspicion of the Chinese army, so they threw the wolf corpse into the fire and destroyed the corpse, but they did not expect that this would further expose their conspiracy. ”

Xu Zheyou, Fang You, and Wu Zhonghua kept nodding, and the chief's analysis was convincing.

Yan Zhi asked, "Fang Friend Xu Zheyou, where are the two wolves now, why is there no wolf howl." ”

Xu Zheyou said: "The big wolf is very ghostly, they just suffered a big loss from the devil, if they didn't leave, they were secretly waiting for the opportunity." ”

Fang You said: "The big wolf is not only a ghost, but also a thief who holds grudges, and if the devil hurts their companions, the wolves must hate it to the core." But hungry wolves are so hungry that they eat even their wounded companions. ”

Yan Zhi said: "I hope that the wolves will not leave, we have good hunters who understand wolves, but the devils do not, so it is equivalent to adding the wolves to our team." ”

Xu Zheyou, Wu Zhonghua, Fang You, the three of them looked at each other a few times, the chief's brain is really not comparable to ordinary people, and he actually pulled the wolves into our team with a few words.

It's a good operation.

At this moment, several gray wolves appeared in Yan Zhi's telescope, wandering at the junction of light and dark in the west of the walled gate, seemingly afraid of the fire in the village.

Xu Zheyou, who was holding a telescope in his hand, also saw it, and said in a low voice: "Sir, these wolves appeared from the southwest of the Zhaimen, and they should be the later group of wolves." I judged that they had not suffered the loss of the devils, and now they wanted to try to enter the village to find the corpse. Now that the soldiers are in chaos, even the wolf's life is not easy, and they come dozens of kilometers away to risk looking for food. ”

Not only is the life of the wolf not easy, but the life of the people is even more difficult, and in the war years of war and chaos, it is good to be alive and not starved to death.

The bark and wild vegetables that could be eaten in the mountains were almost eaten by the hungry people, and the rabbits, pheasants, and even small voles were almost wiped out, leaving the wolves with little more than weeds.

Yan Zhi now finally knows that the gray wolf in [Xiyangyang and the Big Big Wolf] has never eaten mutton, so why can he live without a brain.

Xu Zheyou continued: "The later wolves are relatively small, and when they get here, they can only wait for the big wolves that come first to eat and leave, and then they go into the village to find food. Not only do wolves fight for territory, but they also fight for food, and casualties are common. The big wolves suffered a big loss when they entered the village, and now they are hiding in the shadows and not moving, so the little wolves can't help but want to go in. ”

At this moment, several wolves tried several times, and finally could not resist the temptation of food, and ran into the stockade, and behind them, a dozen big wolves sprang out from different positions, bypassed the fire, and ran towards the stockade.

God help the Band of Brothers! Yan Zhi wanted this opportunity. The reason why he was so cautious was because he concluded that there were snipers in the devil's troops.

During World War II, snipers were like gods of war, and they killed people.

On the battlefield, when the soldiers can't hear the other party's gunshots, they see their comrades falling, this kind of deterrent is terrifying, and it will instantly disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

In the clearing between the fires, more than a dozen large wolves were completely exposed to the firelight.
