Chapter 99: Wolves

When it was dark, I ordered the army to withdraw from the wolf ditch first, and after chasing the bandits for a day and staying awake all night, my team needed to be repaired.

After eating in the village, Wang Baochang found a few empty houses, and our entire company rested here. Although it was an empty house, we didn't see much dust in the house when we went in. I asked, "Chief Wang, if my guess is correct, this is where the bandits used to live, right?" ”

Chief Wang smiled and said, "Sir An, don't mind, these houses are indeed the houses where the bandits lived, and when you don't come, they live here." ”

Hou Yong asked, "These are all the houses they forcibly occupied the common people?" ”

Wang Baochang hurriedly explained and said, "That's not it." These houses were bought by the Zhai brothers, and the prices were fair. ”

I said to Hou Yong: "Did you hear it, it turns out that we still have to accept the love of these Liangshan heroes, and we are now living in people's homes." ”

Hou Yong said: "Battalion commander, when you leave, give them this bandit den to be demolished!" Look where these bastards will live when they come back! ”

I lay down on the bunk, closed my eyes, and said, "You demolish it, they still have to find a place to live, and the best way is to do it once and for all!" Unplug this gang of bandits ......"

I fell asleep in the echo of Hou Yong and the noise of the other hiundrels in the room.

When I woke up, I vaguely heard a woman crying outside, and I sat up and shouted, "What's going on outside?" Who's crying there? ”

After a while, the herald came in and said, "Battalion commander, a wolf has just bitten an old man to death at the entrance of the village, and it is her daughter who is crying. ”

I stood up, picked up my gun and said, "Let's go, go see!" In broad daylight, wolves dare to bite people in the village? ”

On the road at the entrance of the village, an old man fell to the ground covered in blood, and a woman in her thirties lay on top of the old man and cried bitterly.

I walked over and looked, and the deceased had been bitten open in the throat, and there were other signs of bites on her body, and it seemed that the wolf wanted to drag her away, and was frightened and fled after being discovered.

Wang Baochang shouted at a few villagers to help carry the deceased away, and I beckoned to Wang Baochang and asked, "The wolf dares to enter the village in broad daylight and hurt people?" ”

With a constipated expression on his face, Chief Wang said, "Sir An, don't be surprised when I speak. In the past, wolves did not come to harass us, they only moved in the range of wild wolf ditches. This is the first time this has happened...... I analyzed, it should be that you killed a wolf, and they came here in retaliation, brute, it can't tell which is the soldier and which is the common people, and when it sees a lone person, it pounces ......on it."

I thought to myself, it's really possible that this is the case, the wolf's revenge is notoriously heavy, it seems that this wolf is really likely to be recruited by us, even if the bandit can't be suppressed, at least this wolf should be cured before leaving.

I commanded the heralds and said, "Assemble all the brethren and prepare to go!" Chief Wang, I have to bother you to follow me! ”

Wang Baochang was not ambiguous this time, it seems that he also understands that the suppression of bandits may not be the most important, but if the wolf plague is not eliminated, I am afraid that there will be no peace in this village in the future.

When I saw Wang Baochang again, he had already armed himself, and he had wrapped several layers of thick cotton cloth around his neck to prevent the wolf from biting. Because there are too many entanglements, if you want to look back at the situation behind you, you have to turn your whole body like a stiff neck.

When I saw his appearance, I said, "Chief Wang, I think that you will cause inflexibility in your movements, and the wolf will come up from behind you, and it will be difficult for you to turn back." ”

Wang Baochang said with a smile: "With the support of all the military masters, I just need to guard against the front." ”

I noticed that Zhang Fugui actually learned from Wang Baochang to secretly get such a neck sleeve, Hou Yong followed my gaze and found this, rushed over and scolded: "Zhang Fugui, what are you doing!" Can you still fight like this? ”

Zhang Fugui took off his neck sleeve in embarrassment, sneered and met the mocking eyes of the Qiu Ba around him, he carried the machine gun on his shoulder, and the deputy shooter deliberately stayed away from him because of his disgrace.

"Let's go!"

"Distance the queue!"

"Gun under the shoulder! Bullets loaded! ”

In the face of wolves that attack people by surprise, I can't help but take precautions, and wait until you take the gun off your shoulder and then pull the bolt to reload, I'm afraid it's too late.

Wang Baochang not only protected his neck, but also didn't know where to get a sheepskin hat and fasten it on his head. This kind of hat is very common in the north, especially in the northeast, but it is too exaggerated to appear in Yunnan, because the winter in Yunnan is simply spring-like compared to the north.

Once again, we walked through the wolf gully, and this time from time to time we could see looming wolves hovering near us. However, in such a blue sky and white day, we don't need to worry at all, there are guns in hand, and these wolves don't dare to get close to them.

Still following yesterday's path, this time Ani walked in the front, and she kept crouching down to look for clues. Ani's experience in the mountains played a key role, and by the time we searched the hinterland of the Wolf Gully, the traces of the bandits' lives were becoming more and more apparent.

Bandits are also human beings, and if they are human, they will leave traces of human activity, which is completely different from animals. Ani turned around, came to my side and said, "Brother An, they should be nearby, not too far." One of the cigarette butts I just picked up is still soft, which means they haven't been here for long! ”

I fully trust Ani's judgment, I am in this labyrinthine mountain, and it is completely difficult to distinguish between east and west, and taking Ani with me is really the wisest decision I made this time.

"Spread the formation! Watch out for the flanks! Don't get too close to the defenders! "I was carrying a gun and alerting the searching team.

I glanced at Zhang Fugui who was caught in the queue, and finally shouted angrily: "Zhang Fugui, the machine gunner must hold down the position!" What are you hiding in the middle? Are you ready to hit your own people in the heels! Get me on the flanks! ”

Zhang Fugui lowered his head, walked out of the queue, and walked to the side with a Czech light machine gun, his co-shooter was reluctant to be in a group with him, and followed him reluctantly with a gloomy face.

I sighed in my heart, this is really mud that can't support the wall, no matter how good the machine gun is, what's the use, such a person really shouldn't come to be a soldier.

There was a light rain in the sky, and there was very little rain in the winter in western Yunnan, and the rain and the north wind blew, and the cold chill made everyone shrink their necks.

Wang Baochang shivered from the cold, walked over tremblingly, and said, "Sir An, we might as well come back another day, this plagued weather, the brothers are also suffering......

I said coldly: "Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are still afraid of rain?" Wang Baochang, we are also for local pesticide, you should support it! ”

Wang Baochang bent his waist, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, it's me who is too talkative." ”

A figure flashed over the stone stone not far away, bang! I raised my hand and fired a shot, shouting, "Catch up with him, they're nearby!" ”
