The wolves attacked the shacks, and the army reclaimed the wolves and attacked them with fire
At the end of the 1960s, in the Great Northern Wilderness, wolves invaded the shacks of the military reclamation site and did not leave, resulting in the military reclamation soldiers having to drive them away. After three drives, in the end even a fire attack was used.
After the arrival of winter, the soldiers of the various military reclamation points in the Great Northern Wilderness are conducting intensive training to deal with a possible Soviet attack. At the No. 32 military reclamation station near Mahugou, only the squad leader was left to lead the eldest grandson and Xiao Zhou to garrison.
Mahugou is a gathering place for wolves, located at the foot of Dalizi Mountain, where the forest is dense and inaccessible.
The weather is cold, the temperature plummets to more than minus 30 degrees, and everything in the Great Northern Wilderness seems to be frozen by ice and snow, and even birds and beasts are difficult to survive in such an environment. However, in such bad weather conditions, the squad leader led the eldest grandson and the younger Zhou to drive a tractor to Dalizi Mountain to chop firewood and prepare for the cold winter.
At this time, the five hungry wolves curled up and shivered, and they looked at the No. 32 military reclamation hut in the distance, full of anticipation. It's a familiar place for them, often sneaking up at night to nibble on frozen swill and leftovers.
They knew that there were only three people in the shack, and today they saw all three of them riding tractors into the mountain. So, the five hungry wolves quickly ran to the shack, hoping to find some food there.
The warriors returned from logging, only to find that bad weather was holding them back. A storm of smoke suddenly struck, sweeping through the wasteland of the No. 32 Military Reclamation Station, turning the world into a blur.
In order to drive away the wolves, the warriors beat the iron buckets, making a deafening sound.
After loading all the cut trees onto the tractor, the three squad leaders immediately drove to the No. 32 military reclamation station. The wolves in the den sensitively picked up the sound of a tractor motor in the wind and snow, a familiar and unsettling sound.
They understood that the sound meant that the place they had lost would be occupied again. The five wolves stood alertly, ears pricked up, listening carefully to the movement outside the door.
Soon, a crunchy footstep approached the shack. When the eldest grandson walked to the door, he suddenly felt a chill, and an indescribable fear welled up in his heart. He stomped his foot heavily with his gun, then pulled open the door of the shack and went headlong into the house.
It was dark in the shack, and the eldest grandson couldn't see the wolf in the house clearly, but the wolf could see it clearly.
When the eldest grandson heard the threatening sound of the five wolves, he felt creepy. When he saw four or five wolves on the kang, he frightened a tall boy out of the shack, shouted "there are wolves", and pulled the bolt of the gun.
The squad leader heard the shouts of the eldest grandson and stopped him when he saw that he was about to shoot. The squad leader told him not to shoot, and if he wounded the wolves, more wolves would come to retaliate.
There are only three of them, and there are absolutely no wolves to provoke. So the squad leader suggested that they beat the wolf with an iron bucket. The three of them struck hard, and the sound of the iron bucket was loud.
Eventually, the five wolves in the shack finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they howled and ran out of the shack and disappeared into the snowy wasteland.
In order to prevent the wolves from invading again, the squad leader decided to go to Mt. Okashi again to chop firewood. During the trio's journey, they took some precautions. First of all, they brought two large oil drums to block the door to prevent the wolves from taking advantage of the situation.
Next, they brought in two large wooden piers to block behind the oil drums to increase their defenses. However, the five wolves have not been reconciled since they were scared away by the three squad leaders violently hitting the iron bucket last time.
They roam outside the shack almost every day after hunting, observing the movement in the shack from afar. Today, when they saw the three of them driving the tractor into the mountain again, they immediately rushed to the shack again in excitement.
However, the shack door has been blocked by two wooden piers and two large oil drums, which are inaccessible.
The five wolves pondered at the door of the shed, but could not find the entrance. Suddenly, the wooden pier rolled at the wolf's feet, which frightened them, but also inspired the wolf's intelligence. Eventually, they came up with a way to roll the wooden pier out of the way.
However, the remaining two empty oil drums did not move. Luckily, they managed to knock down the oil drums, as the drums rolled more easily than wooden piers. So, the door of the shack was easily opened, and the five wolves rushed in again, ate all the rest of the food, including the half-pot of stewed potatoes that had just been stewed in the morning, and then lay down contentedly on the hot kang head, squinting the wolf's eyes.
As night fell, the squad leader and two fighters drove a tractor full of firewood back to the shack. The five wolves stood vigilantly on the kang, their eyes fixed on the door of the shack, waiting for a surprise attack.
They plan to take down one person as soon as they open the door and enter the house, and the remaining two will be dealt with. If all three of them can be wiped out, the shack will become their permanent wolf den.
However, after unloading the firewood, the three men walked together with their guns and bayonets towards the door of the shack. They had already guessed that the shack must have been taken over by wolves again, for the oil drums and wooden piers at the door had been rolled aside.
The squad leader led the eldest grandson and the younger Zhou to engage in a battle of wits with the five wolves. They first tried to scare the wolf with the sound of oil drums, but the wolf did not seem to be afraid. Then, the squad leader came up with a brilliant idea, he started the tractor and increased the horsepower so that it made a deafening sound.
The wolf was frightened by the sound and fled from the shack. This battle of wits showed the wisdom and courage of the squad leader and his companions.
The end of the year is approaching, and the New Year's goods at the No. 32 military reclamation point are very well prepared. They hunted two roe deer, ten pheasants and a wild boar, and buried the skinned roe deer and wild boar in snowdrifts, which could not be destroyed even if the wolf had fangs and claws.
The leftover ingredients can be used for stir-frying and stewing at any time. The life of the trio was comfortable. On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the squad leader decided to go into the mountains to chop firewood for the last time, and then he did not go out until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In order to prevent the wolf from entering the den again, the squad leader tied the door to the door frame with thick hemp rope, believing that the wolf did not have the ability to unfasten the rope.
After the tractor left, the five wolves came to the big hut again. This time, there were no oil drums or wooden piers in front of the shack door, but the door was tied to the door frame with rope and could not be opened.
The Wolf King looked around and found a clue to open the door - the thick hemp rope that tied the door needed to be untied. However, slowly untying the rope with its mouth is too complicated for the Wolf King and beyond the scope of his intelligence.
But it didn't give up, wandered repeatedly, and finally thought of a way to bite off the hemp rope. The other wolves struggled with this method. The wolf king was so angry that he cried out, "Is it harder to bite off the twine's claws than to bite off the wolf's paws, which are caught in iron clips?" ”
Although this is an incomparable example, it is like the wolf king, and no one dares to disobey. So the five wolves took turns to bite, and it didn't take long for a finger-thick hemp rope to be bitten off.
In the shack, the delicious food is more plentiful than the previous two. In addition to leftover meals, there are wild boar bones and roe deer bones that are ready to be stewed in the evening. The rarest is the half-pot fish.
This was made by Xiao Zhou and Da Sun who smashed open an ice hole in the river and fished it up with a fence. They plan to fry it in oil tonight and enjoy it with a little wine. Wolves love to eat fish, and they have caught fish on the banks of rivers, but the success rate is extremely low.
Today, I had this good opportunity, and immediately snatched up half of the pot of fish, and then swept away the other food.
There is no need to doubt the amount of food that the wolf eats! In Yellowstone, a wolf can eat 20 kilograms of meat in the highest meal! Still, our warriors drove the wolves away with fireballs, and the tractors rattled back.
Although they were cold, hungry and tired, the thought of delicious wine, meat and fish in the evening immediately refreshed and energized. They guessed that the wolf wouldn't break the hut door again this time, right?
But when they came to the door, the squad leader's nose was almost crooked! This wolf is so smart that nothing can stop it. Xiao Zhou, drive and blast them away with a motor.
Xiao Zhou drove the tractor and ran idling with increased horsepower at the door, but ten minutes passed, and there was no movement in the shack. The eldest grandson couldn't help but wonder, did the wolf run away?
When he opened the door, he was frightened out by a pack of grinning wolves. The wolf was not even afraid of the roar of the tractor's motor, which put the eldest grandson and the squad leader in a predicament.
The squad leader proposed a way to let the eldest grandson make a straw ball and dip it in diesel fuel and throw it into the shack. If the wolves weren't even afraid of this, they would have to shoot. The eldest grandson complied, and in a short time threw the fireball dipped in diesel into the shack.
The wolf was most afraid of fire, and when he saw the fireball burning in front of the kang, he immediately fled from the hut in a panic.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, I can finally stay in the shack with peace of mind and no longer have to compete with wolves for territory. The three enjoyed a few days of peaceful life, however, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the wolves came uninvited.
Although the Great Northern Wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, it is lonely because of the emptiness. In order to add some flavor to the New Year, the three of them tied several wooden pillars in the snow to Akiko Pine and lit the Pine Torch.
Then, they set delicious food in the courtyard and sat at the table to kowtow to their ancestors, parents, and relatives. It was a ceremonial evening, as well as a passion and respect for life.
The enticing smell of fish wafted in the wind, and the keen wolf nose immediately caught the signal. The wolves are accustomed to using long howls to exchange information, so a wolf howl attracts a large group of wolves.
The sheer number of wolves made them more emboldened, and they even ignored the rush of the pine torches and set their sights on the delicacies on the wooden shelves. When Xiao Zhou came out, he was frightened by the green wolf eyes around him and shouted for help.
The squad leader immediately instructed the eldest grandson to light a fire in the courtyard and ordered Xiao Zhou to move all the food to the house. He then ordered three guns to hold in each direction and shoot into the gaps of the wolves.
We don't fight wolves, we only scare them. The three guns rang out in unison, and the momentum was huge. Bullets flew across the night sky, and the flames flew among the wolves, scaring away the approaching wolves and sending the nearby wolves fleeing.
