I didn't care about Ani's panic, because I believe that the bandits would not dare to take the initiative to attack us, and the wolf trouble that Wang Baochang said is not to worry, we have more than a hundred guns, will we be afraid of a few wolves.

And I have already arranged Zhang Fugui's machine gun to the commanding heights, whether it is bandits or wolves, as long as they (they) really dare to come, they will definitely not be able to please anything.

Wang Sibao leaned in front of the fire with a rifle, kept dozing, and was suddenly awakened by a special chill, Wang Sibao sat up, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that the bonfire had been extinguished.

Wang Sibao kicked the soldier next to him with his foot and said, "Hey, it's all in good spirits, once the bandits come, don't delay." ”

Another soldier said: "The bandits are too late to hide from us, and they dare to come and send them to death?" ”

Wang Sibao yawned and said, "Anyway, it's better to be prepared." You two go and gather some branches and hay, and light a campfire, so that even if there are no wolves, you can keep the cold away. ”

Wang Sibao was now the squad leader and was qualified to send them, and the two soldiers stood up, slung their rifles on their shoulders, and went to the woods next to them to pick up branches.

Wang Sibao walked around with the gun, and didn't see anything abnormal, and when he was about to walk back, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the woods, followed by a scream, and then an even more frightened scream.

Wang Sibao was completely energetic at this time, and ran over there with his rifle, pulling the bolt and loading it as he ran, shouting loudly and asking, "What's wrong?" What happened! ”

By the time he ran into the woods, one of the soldiers he had sent to pick up the branches was already lying on the ground, with a shocking bite wound on his throat, blood still gushing, and the soldier's body was convulsing, seeing that he could no longer live.

A rifle was thrown on the ground, but the other soldier had gone no longer knowing where it had gone, and the cold wind was blowing through the depths of the black woods, making a rustling sound, I don't know if it was the sound of falling leaves or something else.

Wang Sibao retreated in horror, shouting the name of the missing soldier, and at the same time raised his gun and fired into the sky, which was to report to us and show that something unusual had happened.

As soon as the screams rang out, I was already awakened, and Ani was the first to rush out of the tent. We rushed to the scene of the incident and saw Wang Sibao standing in place in despair, with a soldier lying dead in anger.

Wang Baochang also ran out in a panic, and came to the dead soldier, he squatted down to look at the wound, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a wolf!" This must have been a wolf bite! ”

Wang Sibao also came to his senses at this time, walked up to me, and said in a low voice: "Battalion commander, there is another brother...... But it's gone......"

Wang Baochang looked at the dark woods and said in a deep voice: "It's gone, naturally it was dragged into the forest by wolves." ”

I was a little skeptical of Wang Baochang's words and asked, "What wolf can have such strength and drag a person away in such a short time?" ”

Wang Baochang looked around a little nervously and said, "Sir An, this is the Wolf King!" It's the wolf king of Damangshan! It's very powerful, and they're very strategic, and they're so versatile that sometimes these beasts are even smarter than men. ”

I groaned, dead or alive, to find this missing soldier. I instructed the guards to be on heightened vigilance, and a dozen of us, plus the chief of the king, were engrossed in the loading of bullets, and searched the depths of the woods along the traces on the ground.

It didn't take long for Wang Baochang's statement to be confirmed, and about two hundred meters in the forest, we found the soldier who had been eaten so much that only a pair of bones remained.

Looking at the white bones, I gasped, the wolf plague in western Yunnan has always existed, but it is the first time I have seen people eaten by wolves, which is completely different from the battlefield when I see my comrades who were killed by bullets and shells.

Wang Baochang said: "Sir An, let's withdraw first, the wolf king is here, and the wolves will not be too few, besides, in such a dark sky, we are in the light, they are in the dark, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

Wang Sibao snorted coldly: "We have guns, are we still afraid of a few wolves?" Unless they're goblins! ”

Wang Baochang said: "Master Jun, just listen to my advice!" These wolves lurk in front of you, and suddenly attack, even if you have a gun, you can't have time, especially the wolf king, it's really not much worse than a monster! ”

"What Wang Baochang said makes sense! Let's get out of here and wait until dawn! "I saw that the fatal wounds of the soldiers who were bitten to death were all throats, which shows that these wolves do have a certain purpose of attacking, as long as they are successful, it is impossible to fight back.

On the way back to the camp, a wolf howl sounded in the wild wolf ditch at night, Wang Baochang walked and walked, and suddenly sat on the ground with a weak foot, and we were all on guard with guns in our hands.

"This is the voice of the wolf king summoning his companions! …… I'm fine, it's just that my legs ......are weak," Wang Baochang got up from the ground trembling and explained to us.

I put the Mauser on the top of the bullet and said, "Since you can't catch the bandits, it's not bad to hunt and fight the wolves......"

Before I could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly burst out of the shadows and flew into the air, swooping down on a soldier walking at the edge of the line. Although the soldier was wary, he was still half a beat slower, and it was too late to shoot, so he screamed and picked up the rifle in his hand.

At the same time, Ani's gun went off, and bam! The black shadow fluttered to the ground, and then limped into the depths of the woods. Ani didn't relax, chased after a few steps, and then half-squatted on the ground, pulling the trigger continuously, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The black shadow was finally shot from a hundred meters away.

We ran over to get a flashlight, and it turned out to be a gray-white wolf, shot in the upper leg and abdomen, lying on the ground looking at us and panting.

Wang Sibao was inexplicably sad and indignant because he saw the tragic death of his comrades, rushed over and shot the wolf several times in the head with his gun, and scolded: "Kill you man-eating turtle grandson!" Beasts that hurt people! ”

Tan Weimin looked frightened and said, "Why is this wolf in the wild wolf ditch so wild, there are so many of us, and it dares to come out to pounce?" ”

"It's the smell of blood that stimulates their madness! Let's get out of here first! Ani analyzed the reason, because she was too nervous, she didn't call Tan Weimin a fake foreign devil for the first time.

It's not dawn yet, and the sight in the woods is not good, so it's dangerous enough to stay in the woods. Without a moment's delay, we quickly withdrew from the woods and returned to the campsite.

Campfires have been rekindled around the campsite, and the roaring light of the fire is somewhat reassuring, and no matter what the animal is, it is always natural to be afraid of the fire.

The wolf howls were constantly heard around us that night, and it was very frightening, as if we were surrounded by wolves.

In fact, it was true, and then there was a faint light in the woods, which were the eyes of the hungry wolves, and if it weren't for these bonfires, I guess these hungry wolves would have dared to even rush into our camp.

It wasn't until Ani fired a few more shots into the forest that they were scared away, and they were still terrified of the guns.

Surrounded by wolves, we didn't have much rest all night, and everyone kept their guns in their hands, ready to guard against wolves that suddenly came out of nowhere.

I also somewhat understand why every time the bandits are suppressed, the bandits hide in the wolf ditch every time, and these wolves are undoubtedly their means of defense. Bandits stay in the mountains all year round, understand the habits of wolves, and naturally know how to prevent wolves.
