Chapter 64 Bring Your Own Supplies
Even after knocking Chu Maolin down, Sun Changkui still felt unsatisfied, so he picked up the broken cane and started hitting him.
If we weren't being stopped, we wouldn't care how many wolves were in the Hetao region.
As soon as the formation of the people who go down is disrupted, it will definitely be just like Wu Laowai said, with them fighting each other.
If Chu Maolin and his men had been carrying bolt-action rifles, it would have been fine; a single burst from a Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle would have wiped them out, and it's hard to say how many would have survived.
The forestry bureau guards led by Chu Maolin were essentially pampered soldiers from the Songling forest area, and their military skills were far from adequate.
Despite his anger, Sun Changkui did not forget the wolf packs in the Hetao region.
"On my command! Advance in a horizontal line, one meter apart, then align left and right upon reaching the river bend. Advance twenty paces, one step at a time!"
Watching the pampered soldiers from the forestry bureau carry out their orders, Sun Changkui continued to shout:
"Form fan-shaped formations using the campfire as a reference point; firing is prohibited unless absolutely necessary!"
"Xiao Chen, form ranks! Retreat slowly. Refrain from firing unless absolutely necessary!"
Hearing Sun Changkui call him, Chen Tuo kicked Shan Gouzi.
"You two, if you can go back, go back. If you can't, just sit here and wait!"
Chen Tuo retreated to the shore, and Wu Laowai and Sun Changkui both looked at the steaming gun barrel in his hand.
Both of them were filled with lingering fear, realizing that their momentary carelessness had caused them to forget about the defense of the town and the surrounding area.
As a result, because Sun Changkui was slow, he missed notifying Chu Maolin, which almost led to the annihilation of the Forestry Bureau's young security team in the Hetao region.
Sun Changkui knew the inside story of the wolf plague in the Lesser Khingan Mountains better than Wu Laowai.
It was a snowy night, and they were surrounded by wolves again.
Although the reclamation team at that time had similar equipment to Chu Maolin and his men, each of them carried five extra hand grenades.
However, the two cannot be compared in terms of military quality.
The early settlers had almost all experienced actual combat.
Even with such a tough force, more than forty people, only six survived in the end.
Attacking wolf packs on a snowy night is strictly prohibited, whether in the Great Northern Wilderness or the Xing'an Mountains forest area.
Chu Maolin was young and had not learned these things, and he almost caused a major disaster for the Songling Forest Area.
That last blow didn't break his leg; Sun Changkui only regretted that the crutch wasn't strong enough.
Wolves can be attacked anytime, but once a person is in trouble, who will give them a chance to make amends?
Now that everyone is alright, Sun Changkui's anger has subsided considerably.
"Send half the men back to the Forestry Bureau and inform the drivers to prepare two fully-lit six-wheel-drive Liberation trucks, and also bring four light machine guns..."
After assigning the remaining men to keep watch, Sun Changkui then looked at Wu Laowai.
"Master Wu, about what just happened..."
"You cripple Sun, all you do is talk nonsense and do tough things. Someone as incompetent as Blind Chu shouldn't be in charge!"
Knowing that Sun Changkui was going to plead for Chu Maolin again, Wu Laowai felt quite helpless.
It doesn't matter whether Chong Chumaolin lives or dies.
But when it came to his father, Chu Mingshan, Wu Laowai could only mutter a few sarcastic remarks; he still had to consider the social obligations.
Without Blind Chu, he might not be alive today.
"I don't care about the details, but the wolf pack in the Hetao region was held back by me and the kid, and we were the ones who fought them off. It has nothing to do with you."
No one was hurt, and Sun Changkui pleaded for leniency again. Wu Laowai couldn't handle what happened next.
But he had to fight for the harvest in the Hetao region.
Chen Tuo just risked his life down there, so we can't let the Forestry Bureau drag the wolf away again.
"Yes! By the time Xiao Chu arrived with his men, the wolves had already been driven away by you!"
After beating Chu Maolin, Sun Changkui still had to plead for him. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice.
If reported according to procedure, Chu Maolin's reckless behavior would be enough to send him to jail for several years.
If you actually do it for him, his life will be ruined.
"Brother-in-law Sun, shall we go down and see how many wolves came and how many ran away?"
Although Chen Tuo wanted to kick Chu Maolin while he was down, he knew that once Sun Changkui opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Songling is sparsely populated and isolated, so its social circle is small.
A small circle can lead to the development of unconventional networks of relationships.
If the men Chu Maolin sent had gone down the river bend and been wiped out there, the outcome would have been different.
He's alright, and the thing that happened to him isn't serious either.
"Don't you need to rest for a bit? Give me the gun, I'll tidy it up for you first, so it doesn't explode when you use it later."
While helping Chen Tuo clean the gun barrel, they had someone go down to the river bend to continue lighting the campfire.
Only after confirming that the wolf pack in the Hetao region had escaped did Sun Changkui lead his men down to the Hetao region.
Seeing the two mountain dogs squatting by the campfire, Sun Changkui grinned in confusion.
Besides the wolf problem in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, after becoming forestry professionals, they also learned about the animals in the Greater Khingan Mountains.
Despite their small size, wolverines are surprisingly strong; in a one-on-one fight, they are usually no match for wolves.
As fierce as a wolf and as resilient as a badger, that's the wolverine.
He had seen and fought this little thing in the mountains; it was agile, fierce, and extremely difficult to deal with.
"Xiao Chen, although the mountain dog is small, it is still a wild animal in the forest. Be careful when raising it, and don't let it hurt anyone."
After responding to Sun Changkui, Chen Tuo wanted to check on the hunt.
After firing dozens of bullets without seeing any results, he was starting to get restless and itching to get some action.
"You'll have to keep an eye on these two bastards, make sure they don't hurt anyone else! Sun the Cripple, you be careful too, wolves are good at ambushes!"
Chen Tuo was about to crawl through the snow curtain in the river bend when Wu Laowai grabbed him and also reminded Sun Changkui and the others.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and visibility was only three to five meters.
On the shore, illuminated by the campfire in the river bend, the heavy snow was not yet noticeable; only when the wind picked up did the snowflakes blur the vision.
Once down into the river bend, Wu Laowai realized that Chen Tuo's vision was worse than he had imagined.
"Uncle Wu..."
"Don't go! Wolves have a very good nose! If you go, the wolves will only remember your scent. If Sun the Cripple and the others go in, the scent will mix!"
Seeing Sun Changkui and the others disappear into the snow, Chen Tuo, who had been ambushed by wolves once before, did not insist any longer.
If it weren't for Sun Changkui's help, he probably would have been pounced on by wolves.
Even so, Chen Tuo's understanding of wolves and bears remained unchanged, and he did not think these beasts were particularly dangerous.
Sun Changkui and his men, hidden in the snow, searched several times within the range of their single-barreled shotguns, but only found seven wolf carcasses cut in half.
Sun Changkui had seen the wolf with its internal organs pulled out that morning, and he didn't react much to the wolf that had been split in two by the one-headed bear.
But the young security guards from the forestry bureau were different; they all vomited all over the place, groaning and vomiting.
"Coward, you think you can fight wolves with such a paltry mentality? Clean up every single wolf on the ground and gather them up."
The Forestry Bureau's Security Section is not just staffed by a bunch of empty promises, including Chu Maolin.
Jobs are in short supply not only in cities, but also in the Songling Forest Area.
Many young people from forest areas lack the skills to log on the mountain and have no experience in patrolling and protecting the forest.
The family couldn't bear to send them to the lumberyard to carry timber or to the mountains to unload bundles.
After several internal discussions within the Forestry Bureau, the security and forestry departments were expanded, and some positions were added specifically for family members and children.
This is also related to Chen Tuo becoming an unregistered resident of Songling. He does have jobs, but they are difficult to arrange.
Chen Tuo was assigned to the position, but what about the other employees' children and children of those living in apartments?
They arranged for someone to help him as he continued deeper into the snow-covered Hetao region, where Sun Changkui discovered an unbelievable scene.
There were still live gazelles in the ice pit that Chen Tuo and Wu Laowai had created.
"Weeds! They brought provisions!"
Seeing the gazelles in the icy pit, Sun Changkui felt only lingering fear.
If Wu Laowai hadn't stopped them, Chu Maolin would have been wiped out if he had led his men down into the river bend.
They brought their own supplies and besieged the Hetao region.
These wolves came for revenge...
