Chapter 071: Longpan Jingzhou (4)
Li Zongren's suggestion was to dig a trap, and the people in Guangxi were very good at this job, breaking the bamboo, cutting it in half, and then burying it in the trap, as long as the wolf jumped down, there was no way to live.
Song Haomin's method was to encourage the men in the village to participate in the competition, because he found that the men here were very good, and everyone knew how to use a flat pole and a firewood knife. In Song Haomin's opinion, these two things are definitely much better than the rifle that has to be unloaded and reloaded when the wolf is close to the wolf. When the time comes, light the fire and match the local men, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight?
Zuihou is still Zhang Xuguang's most poisonous idea, and he observed that these wild wolves will take the initiative to line up when they attack. According to this characteristic of the wolf, he said that he simply tied it with a thread and the lead of the grenade, and buried it in the path of the must-enter, and as soon as the wolf touched the line, the grenade was ignited. The effect is definitely not bad, it's better than using a mortar to bombard those fast wolves, right? If we really use the mortars we carry to bombard, then it will really be a cannon to fight mosquitoes.
Wan Yaohuang, who has always been serious, is now very happy to listen to it, and nodded again and again, in the end, there are many people and many ideas, so let's do it, everyone goes back to organize manpower and start work. He himself grabbed the guide and went to the owner of the stockade to discuss what to do.
The smoothest may be Wan Yaohuang, when he visited the owner of the village, he was first complained by the poor owner of the village, saying that they should not provoke the wolf god. But then, the owner of the village offered to defend the village with the Han army. This kind of high wind and bright festival made Wan Yaohuang sweat very much, but if you think about it carefully, too, if the village is broken, your own people will be finished, and the people in the village don't want to be alone. Wolves are not the public security joint defense team along the coast of Guangdong in later generations, and when they bite people, it doesn't matter whether you hold a local household registration or a temporary residence permit from outside, it is their original nature to bite people when they see them.
Within half an hour, more than 200 strong men and 300 native dogs in the stockade were gathered and obeyed the command of the Han army. Although these strong men are not tall, Wan Yaohuang saw a kind of bravery in their physique and expression, these are all qualified soldiers, if they can be replenished to our brigade after the fight...... Thinking about it, my saliva almost flowed.
Wiping his mouth, Wan Yaohuang ran to the edge of the stockade with the guards, Tao Zhiyue, Li Zongren was digging a pit with the soldiers and ruffians of the first battalion. The biggest mistake this time was that I didn't expect there to be civil engineering work, so I didn't even bring sappers. Now these old soldiers are miserable, only to hear Li Zongren scolding there with his throat: "This pit is dug so deep, you are preparing to let the wolf rush in and eat you." ”
The one who was reprimanded was also a veteran, and seeing that Li Zongren was not his direct commander, he was still so arrogant, so he was very unconvinced and said: "Lao Tzu is not an engineer, but he has to come to do this work, you have to dig it yourself, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for not having the strength to raise a gun at night." ”
Tao Zhiyue happened to hear it not far away, and turned his head and scolded: "Shi Wenlong, what kind of fart are you putting in your mouth?" Who are you? If you don't hurry up and dig yours, if the wolf is let in, we won't even want to run! ”
Although he is older than Tao Zhiyue, but after all, he is his own battalion commander, Shi Wenlong reluctantly shrunk his neck and continued to dig honestly.
Wan Yaohuang smiled when he saw this scene, and then walked to a haode trap, and was startled when he saw it. There are enough bamboo tips buried in it, all of them are extremely sharp, not to mention wolves, people are estimated to have no way to survive if they fall, and they will have to be crippled if they don't die.
After a chill, he still decided to go and see Song Haomin burying grenades, which was a bit risky, because Song Haomin was working outside the village.
The work is not difficult, a small piece of wood is tied with a thicker hemp rope, and the other end is hung with the string of the grenade, and the grenade is also buried in the earth.
More than a dozen soldiers in charge of the guard nervously pointed their guns at the bushes more than ten meters away, and from time to time you could see a wolf showing its head, but it was strange that the wolves did not rush over, they seemed to be just observing, but they couldn't figure out what people were doing. As for the people, they didn't dare to shoot, for fear that they would provoke the wolf out if they shot.
Everything went smoothly and everyone was waiting for the nightfall......
The night in the mountains is not visible, but tonight is special, the sky is full of stars, as if it wants to illuminate the whole earth.
There was silence around the stockade, and all the officers and soldiers of the wolf extermination brigade did not dare to sleep, they all stood at their respective posts, their eyes were fixed on the front, and they did not dare to blink.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from all around, which was the sound of the wolf's feet coming into contact with the dead leaves. It's not funny at all, it means that the enemy is approaching and could attack at any moment. The soldiers began to sweat nervously, not only on their backs, necks, but also in the palms of their guns.
This is a terrible and long wolf howl that pierced the night sky, and countless pairs of red eyes suddenly opened all around, it was a wolf!
The wild wolf began to attack frantically, the rustling sound became extremely dense, and everyone's breathing almost stopped at this moment.
At this time, the first grenade was brought off by the wolves, and boom, and seven wolves were blown into the sky. As the explosions grew louder and closer, the women and children in the village were so frightened that they hid in their homes, praying to the gods to bless them.
But the wolves did not stop, and the huge casualties did not frighten the arrogant them, but stimulated their bloodiness, and they continued to charge.
Fire, Tao Zhiyue gave the order, there was no need for lighting at all, just shoot at the red light source.
After firing a magazine, Tao Zhiyue shouted to retreat, and all the people ran directly towards the second stone-built low wall according to the designated route, where there were still the young men in the village and the people of the teaching team.
The wolves quickly passed through the leaky fence on all sides, but soon after that they fell into the trap, unable to climb out no matter how hard they tried. The sharp tip of the bamboo unceremoniously pierced the body of the wild wolf, and many wild wolves stopped cooking on the spot, and those who did not stop eating also let out a whining wail, which made the other companions feel cold.
There were so many wolves that they soon filled the traps with corpses and rushed forward one after another.
Finally, after paying a terrible price, the wolves rushed to the low wall, but at this time, along the low wall, torches were quickly lit, and the surroundings were illuminated.
The wolves are finally starting to panic, and while they are tempted to rush over and bite the damned humans, their natural photophobia has made them lose their basic courage.
What followed was the unceremonious slaughter, and the soldiers were having a good time, and every gunshot meant the end of a wolf's life. And a few wild wolves who continued to rush forward without fear of the fire were also picked up by the people in the village with a firewood knife or a flat burden, and in less than four or five minutes, the number of wolves dropped by two-thirds.
The wolf lost its organization and dispersed, and Li Zongren shouted: "Get on the bayonet and kill all these beasts." ”
Then he himself rushed out with a detachment, so that Wan Yaohuang, who was watching the battle behind, thundered, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow, this Li Zongren He knows that the recent figures in the brigade have performed very prominently in the Nanjing Rebellion and the Changsha Mutiny, especially the capture of Mei Xin alive. Before leaving, I heard Brigade Commander Wang praise this person for his courage and resourcefulness, and he must not fold in this ravine.
Someone took the lead in rushing, so what are you waiting for, everyone rushed out with a hula la, the people in the village are not far behind, they think they are braver than the Han people, they also hold the firewood knife and jump out with a roar, chasing the wolf who keeps falling alone is a piece of indiscriminate chopping.
Wan Yaohuang hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, joking, if he really let these grandsons rush into the mountains and forests, then he didn't know whether to chase and kill the wolf or be chased by the wolf.
After this battle, the participating units have successively released a large number of blowing water brothers, and when they see people, they praise their heroic stories of how to fight the wolves in the dark night when they can't see their fingers. Often the veterans booed in return, while the recruits listened with relish and admired it incomparably.
At dawn the next day, after counting, there were 6,000 wolves dead here. There are so many, Wan Yaohuang was deeply shocked by this miracle in the history of biology, can the wolves still play on this scale?
After some thrilling, the wolf plague in the west was solved, and after the wolves suffered heavy losses, they also realized the strength of humans. The participating wolves chose to cherish their lives and stay away from humans, and they all hid deeper into the mountains, and they didn't show their heads anyway. Anyway, if you don't have a few decades of reproduction, don't think about it again.
And the brave name of this Han army has also spread all over the large and small Miao villages and Dong villages in Jingzhou Prefecture, and people will say to the people around them when they see them: "Look, they are the ones who defeated the wolf god, and they are the real warriors." ”
The biggest advantage of this reputation is that when Wan Yaohuang returned to Quyang Town, he brought back more than 800 Dong Miao Qingzhuang. These high-quality soldiers with simple thoughts, simple personalities, strong bodies, and good at mountain warfare made Wang Zhenyu happy.
The victory of the wolf extermination operation not only improved his prestige in the hearts of the people, but also made Wang Zhenyu full of confidence in what he was going to do next.
From the beginning of this era, our Wang Zhenyu students have been full of ambition, just want to be vigorous and never flinch.
But to achieve a career, you can't just have ambition, you also need to have wisdom and skill.
Wang Zhenyu now suddenly feels that there is one thing that he has done right in later generations, that is, he has consulted a large number of books on the political system. Because he walked around Jingzhou City for a long time, he didn't find the library, Ju Khan.
