Chapter 59 Encirclement and Suppression in the Mountains
"Don't rush to the armed forces headquarters. We need to agree on the distribution of the prey first. Don't bring up the rules of the mountain once we get there!"
After saying everything he needed to say, before heading to the town's armed forces department, Wu Laowai insisted on finalizing the distribution of the prey.
Once they reach the Armed Forces Department, if Bai Long brings it up again, Sun the Cripple will definitely take his side.
"I keep the ones I kill, and you keep the ones you kill! Uncle Wai, hurry up and get over there! Our reindeer herd is going to be wiped out..."
Bai Long knows the location of the Songling Town Armed Forces Department very well.
She insisted on dragging Wu Laowai over so that he could act as a witness.
Having finalized the distribution of prey, Wu Laowai had no intention of getting involved in the wolf plague, especially going up the mountain to hunt wolves.
If we're talking about the best hunting ground, the riverbank where he and Chen Tuo just stood, the river bend under the gun barrels, is the perfect hunting ground.
Once you get up in the mountains, a person's skills will be weakened by three points, while the skills of the mountain animals will be strengthened by seven points.
Especially now, with heavy snow blocking the mountain passes!
When encountering ditches or ponds, wolves can traverse through snowdrifts.
People and horses could only walk through the snow.
If the wolves lead a person into a snowdrift that is waist-deep or deadly, even if the person has a gun, their chances of winning are slim.
"Uncle Wu, wolf packs can merge?"
When Bailong encountered trouble, his personality flaws were also exposed.
A girl is still a girl after all. Seeing her on the verge of tears, Chen Tuo forgot about the risk avoidance he had just taken.
"Normal socialization is something that happens through fighting. Now, these animals might not even need to fight; they'll just naturally form large groups!"
Pointing to the blood-red plum blossoms in the river bend, Wu Laowai's worries were no less than Bai Long's.
"I think they won't attack the deer herds in the mountains first, but will come to the Hetao region for revenge. Like a new broom sweeping clean!"
Chen Tuo inferred wolf nature from human nature, but Wu Laowai and Bai Long did not agree with this.
Just like the Xing'an Mountains, where only the fittest survive.
On the mountain, the strong prey on the weak.
Eating should come before hatred.
Both of them were worried about the impending wolf attack, so they didn't refute Chen Tuo's point of view.
"Kid, your marksmanship is terrible. Go back and get a new one. The 'Water Beam' is too long and the range is too short; it's not good!"
After arguing for a while and calming down, Wu Laowai also gave Chen Tuo some advice.
The marksmanship he just displayed is so poor that he might not even be able to hit the target in target practice, let alone hunting.
There were three people: two on foot and one on horseback.
Only when he actually stood beside the trap, where knives were stuck in the ground and blood was dripping, did Bai Long realize how vicious it was.
The wolf will not die from blood loss after licking the blood ice.
At night, when the temperature drops to minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, a bayonet stuck in the snow will freeze the wolf's tongue.
The more frozen it becomes, the more firmly it holds together; the more frozen it becomes, the more fiercely the wolf struggles.
For wolves, dying from blood loss is actually a relief.
Those who don't bleed to death will freeze to death, which is a kind of relief.
The worst off were the wolves whose tongues and internal organs were pulled out.
"White Dragon, if you're in a hurry, go to the Armed Forces Department first. I want to skin the wolf while it's still soft!"
Wu Laowai, who only wanted to stay at the Xiaoyangqi educated youth settlement and had no intention of getting involved in the mountain affairs, came up with a way to escape after lightly kicking the wolf carcass.
"I'll help you!"
Seeing the snow and smoke billowing up from his companions' leaping horses, Bai Long, having had some time to catch his breath, was no longer as impatient as before.
Wu Laowai is the key to getting reinforcements from the Armed Forces Department.
Without his testimony, Sun Changkui, who was in charge of the armed forces department, probably wouldn't have sent reinforcements immediately.
Another point is that, after seeing the trap up close, Bai Long agreed with Chen Tuo's earlier statement about revenge.
If the wolf pack comes to the Songling area before gathering, the reindeer herds on the mountain will have enough time to return to their settlements.
Wu Laowai glanced at the persistent Bai Long, but simply ignored her.
"Kid, don't waste the wolf blood. Let's do it the same way as yesterday: pour the ice over the hole again, and set up the bayonets again!"
Delaying and escaping were also Wu Laowai's helpless actions.
If they really wanted to go into the mountains to hunt wolves, Sun the Cripple would definitely drag him along.
At this time of year and at this age, if Wu Laowai went into the mountains to hunt wolves, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to come back.
If it were a Mongolian wolf, he would dare to go up the mountain and try.
But the wolves from Russia are more resistant to the cold than Mongolian wolves, more ferocious, and much larger.
That night, the two female mountain dogs took down a Mongolian wolf in the river bend.
The Russian wolf lying on the snow crust is now half a size larger than the two Mongolian wolves.
If we could go back twenty years, and it was the Mongolian wolf plague, let alone inviting him.
Even without being invited, Wu Laowai would volunteer to go up the mountain, just like Chen Tuo.
However, Wu Laowai's plan was ruined by Sun Changkui, who rushed over after hearing the gunshot.
Standing on the bank, looking at the bloodstains in the river, even Sun Changkui, who had experienced many big scenes, felt a bit grieved.
The wolves in the Hetao region died a horrible death!
"Miss White Dragon, was your settlement also attacked by a pack of wolves?"
Upon reaching the river bend, Sun Changkui ignored Wu Laowai and Chen Tuo's trap, and instead went directly to Bai Long.
"Yes! Last night it killed three fawns, and I followed the wolf's tracks all the way here."
After explaining his purpose, Bai Long then began to recount the wolf howl from earlier.
"Brother Changkui, all of the more than one hundred reindeer in the entire Dobukur settlement are roaming freely in the North Mountain. Could the town lend us a hand?"
After hearing about Bai Long's situation, Sun Changkui walked up to Wu Laowai and asked with a smile:
"Master Wu, can the wolf packs on the mountain really form large groups again?"
"I'm not a wolf from the mountains, who can say for sure whether I'll get married or not? All I know is that these beasts all came from Russia."
Although he didn't give a proper answer, Wu Laowai still offered a reason for the wolf pack gathering.
"Master Wu, as you know, there aren't many people like us who are actually good hunters. The problems at the Dobukur settlement must be resolved..."
"Hey, you cripple Sun, don't come after me for this. How old am I? When your father came to Songling to retire, he wasn't even as old as I am now!"
One of the main reasons why the Russian wolf packs came to Songling is that, apart from the hunters in the mountains, there are not many people who seriously hunt in this forest area.
Besides forestry workers, there were also railway soldiers. Although they hunted occasionally, it was just something they did on the side and they didn't treat hunting as a profession.
There are few hunters, and the hunters in the mountains are reindeer Evenki, who have reindeer herds to rely on.
Therefore, there are more wild animals in the Songling area compared to the surrounding areas.
Songling is another necessary route to reach Xinlin, Huzhong, and Tahe, which are even further away.
If the wolf attack spreads from Songling to Xinlin, Huzhong, and Tahe, the Songling Forestry Bureau will have to suffer another round of losses.
Sun Changkui's tactic was to strike the wolf pack before it formed a bond.
To execute this tactic, hunters who can identify mountains and track terrain are key, and Wu Laowai is one of the few hunters in the Songling area.
Wu Laowai used his age as an excuse, which put Sun Changkui in a bit of a bind.
His father was in his early fifties back then, which is quite different from how he is in his early fifties now.
After nearly ten years of recuperation in Songling, Sun Changkui's father's physique has actually improved considerably compared to when he first arrived in Songling.
"Brother Changkui, our people can also track wolf packs."
Bai Long interrupted, but Sun Changkui didn't give up on Wu Laowai either.
The hunters hunt on horseback, unlike those who hunt down in the mountains!
"Master Wu, even if you don't go, you should at least make some plans, shouldn't you?"
"I have no way to plan. If you want to go into the mountains to encircle and annihilate us, you can only follow the trail to the very end. What kind of planning is there to talk about?"
The idea of "going into the mountains to encircle and suppress them" sounds impressive, but Wu Laowai knew it was just hard work that required a lot of physical exertion.
It's simply a matter of finding the wolves and chasing them to the end; if you catch them, kill them all; if you don't, keep chasing...
