In the dark night, two blue starlights suddenly appeared, followed by four, six, and eight. The blue starlight was moving, flickering and bright, and there were more and more stars, and I couldn't count whether it was tens or hundreds. The war horse under the crotch roared softly, and scraped its hooves restlessly. There was a faint smell of shame in the air, it was a pack of wolves!

"The wolves are coming! That little blue dot is a wolf's eye! Everyone aimed at the wolf's eye and fired, no one was allowed to charge, just stood in place! After giving the battle order in a hurried tone, Hu Fei raised his hand and picked up a rifle from his horse. Syllable! "He fired the first shot first.

Twenty-two guns rang out one after another, and the howl of a wild wolf was heard in the distance, apparently having been hit. There was shouting from the direction of the barracks, and a crowd was running quickly in this direction, and it was the other patrols who had heard the gunshots and came to reinforce them.

War Horse "Step!" Trample! Trample! Pacing back and forth, the knight on the horse kept pulling the bolt with his rifle in hand. As an animal known for its speed, the war horse always wanted to run, but the knight on the horse never gave the order to run, and the war horse could only stride anxiously in place.

The howls of the beasts came and went, and the unrelenting wolves were still trying to attack. Under the firelight, a huge black wolf suddenly burst out! The guy stared at two shiny eyes and opened his mouth with a mouth full of fangs.

Hu Fei didn't even think about raising his hand to shoot! Big Black Wolf: "Whew! A scream rolled on the ground, and just when Hu Fei thought he had killed the beast with one shot, the big black wolf got up and limped into the darkness and was out of sight.

The gunfire quickly intensified, and the patrols that had come to reinforce also joined the battle against the wolves. All of a sudden, there were several times more guns, and the wolves finally couldn't hold on to retreating.

"Captain Hu, the wolves have withdrawn. The Einsatzgruppen cavalry is fast, you should quickly catch up and take advantage of the victory to pursue! A reinforced patrol officer was full of excitement when he saw that he had repelled a large group of wolves, he also wanted to pursue, and he also knew that he was not as fast as the wolves, so he pinned his hopes on Hu Fei's cavalry.

"Commander Liu, now that it is dark and the road is slippery, the enemy situation is unknown, and our army is really not suitable for pursuit. Wait for dawn, and when the day dawns, Hu will take the brothers over to have a look. After speaking, Hu Fei clenched his fists and arched his hand, and continued his patrol with the reins.

Head Liu was stunned, and replied with a wry smile. He and Hu Fei are both night patrols, and today is only more than half of the night, and there are still several hours before dawn.

"Go, brethren! The brothers from the Einsatzgruppen are on patrol, and we have to go to work. Go back, watch our territory, and don't let those man-eating wolf cubs sneak in! ”

This Regiment Commander Liu is also a person who is very good at political propaganda, and he mobilized the feelings of the soldiers in a few simple words. The warriors, who were already excited about fighting off the wolves, became even more excited after listening to the words of their regimental commander. A group of high-spirited people returned to their guard posts, and it was estimated that they would not be sleepy again this night.

After dawn, Zheng Runcheng personally led people to see the scene of the incident. The place where the wolves had gathered last night was a mess, and there was blood all over the place. Occasionally, a handful of wolf fur and a bloody half-cut wolf tooth can be seen underground, indicating the fierceness of the battle here last night. The only strange thing is that no wolf corpse was found at the scene.

This made Hu Fei who came with him a little disappointed. Originally, he planned to cut a few wolf legs and go back to stew and eat, but this time his hopes were in vain. Could it be that all the shots fired last night were wounded, and not even a single one was killed?

The words of Liu Kuaileg, the commander of the Volunteer Army, revealed this mystery for Hu Fei and everyone present, "This is really a group of hungry wolves, they even eat their own kind!" Seeing that dozens of officers and generals led by Zheng Runcheng were all looking at him with blank eyes, Liu Kuaileg was proud in his heart, and he had to pretend to be modest and cautious on the surface. This is a little more difficult for this old bandit.

"Wolves don't identify with the class, only the group. A pack of wolves is companions and they can help each other hunt together. It is not uncommon for alien wolves to be bitten to death and eaten by wolves. The wolves we killed and wounded last night must have been eaten by other wolves or some other beast. ”

"Well, what Wan Kui said makes us gain a lot of knowledge! It seems that the wolf is really a fierce beast, and it will not be merciful if it is to be met again in the future! Zheng Runcheng praised Liu Kuai's legs, and then left the scene of the incident after casually expressing two sentences of emotion. There's nothing here but bloodstained wolf hair, so it's better to stay here and delay your work.

Zheng Runcheng left, Hu Fei's mind turned and left Liu Kuai's legs. The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, muttering that they didn't know what they had plotted for a long time. Anyway, when they left, it seemed that the two of them were in a good mood.

The wolf is one of humanity's oldest enemies, both familiar and mysterious. Except for the monotonous and desolate howls, no one knew what the wolves were connected to each other. The wolves that are following the Volunteers are obviously not the same race, they are too numerous!

Although there were many sacrifices along the way, the total number of volunteers who participated in the expedition was still nearly 30,000. How many tents do so many people have to pitch when camping at night? How big is a barracks?

In the middle of the night, wolves were found in all directions. This must be a joint hunting operation between different breeds of wolves from different regions! Hu Fei can be sure that when all the wild wolves pounce at the same time, it will be an unprecedentedly tragic battle between man and beast!

Since a small fight with the wolves that night, Hu Fei has been guarding against the large-scale attack of the wolves at all times. I don't know if Hu Fei's actions that night deterred the wolves or if there was some other reason, in short, since that night, there has been no collective attack by the wolves.

Although the wolves did not launch a large-scale attack, the small-scale, small-scale attack did not stop for a day. The sneak attack of one or two, two or three wolves is always going on.

Under the triple torture of hunger, fatigue, and cold, the military and civilians are already approaching their limits in terms of body and energy, and in the face of the harassment that wild wolves have to carry out every day, the military and civilians have gradually become numb from the nervousness and excitement at the beginning.

The news that so-and-so was injured or killed by a wild wolf last night has lost people's attention. The soldiers and civilians just snapped their fingers to check the date every day, and chased the commander every day to ask how many days there were left to return home?

Originally, the Einsatzgruppen could still get some food every once in a while, but since the large army of the volunteers was targeted by wolves, Hu Fei had to lead the soldiers out to guard every night. It's been a night, and he still has time to go out to find food?

There is no hope for food, and the only hope left is to return home! The expectations of the military and civilians for returning to China are rising day and night.

That night, Hu Fei and his Einsatzgruppen disappeared again.
