Chapter 127 The Most Dangerous Mission
Lu Yao arrived in front of Ding Mei.
Ding Mei then raised all five rounds of fire.
He turned to Lu Yao and said, "Why did you bring so many people in? Don't you know I'm only wearing a pair of underpants?!"
Lu Yao took her coat and wrapped it around her waist:
"That's good enough. I not only brought them back, I brought the wolf pack back too."
While talking, they also followed Uncle Ba and the others to cut grass.
Ding Mei was also nervous when she heard that they were surrounded by wolves outside:
"Could the wolf pack break in?"
"I'm afraid they won't come in!"
"Do you have a way to deal with this?"
Ding Mei asked hesitantly.
Lu Yao smiled confidently and replied, "I'm familiar with the greedy nature of wolves; they won't easily give up their prey. Today, I'm going to set the wolf pack on fire!"
Ding Mei still didn't understand, but Lu Yao no longer had time to explain it to her.
Uncle Ba, Gou Shengzi, and Tie Zhu were also very surprised to see Ding Mei here.
Seeing that her leg was in a splint, they were very concerned, but they didn't have time to come over and ask how she was doing, as they were all busy with their work.
On the other side of the cave entrance, Zhang Zongshan and his men were still fighting desperately against the wolf pack.
If the wolves were to breach the cave at this point, all our previous efforts would be in vain.
Lu Yao ordered his men to take the firewood into the bear den.
Lay them out to make sure they are all connected.
The bear cave is about several tens of meters deep.
It will take some time to fully cover the connection.
Gunshots rang out intermittently from the other side of the cave entrance.
Sometimes intense, sometimes sparse.
This is Zhang Zongshan and Jiang Baocai's counterattack and defense based on the wolf's offensive posture.
With guns and ammunition available, the chances of the wolf pack launching a direct attack are slim.
But they will never give up.
We must do everything we can to capture these human prey.
Almost an hour later, Boss Diao arrived with the members of Shanghewan Commune.
More than ten antelopes were being carried on their backs or lifted up.
Some were alive, and some were dead.
The Diao brothers were so happy their mouths practically stretched to their ears:
"Hey kid, how did you find this great spot? Lots of antelopes, trapped in the forest with no way to escape. There are still many more, let's go hunt some more!"
Lu Yao waved his hand to stop him:
"Don't go, this is enough. You all hurry up and help chop firewood."
Lu Yao told them to lock the antelope in the cave.
Then speed up the process of gathering firewood and adding as much as possible.
Then Lu Yao went out of the cave and arrived at the outer cave entrance.
Several militiamen opened the cave entrance a little and then stared intently at the outside.
If a wolf peeks out from the tall grass, shoot it.
At this point, the wolf pack had almost all disappeared into the tall grass.
They just didn't dare get too close to the cave entrance.
Many wolves tried to approach by digging holes in the snow, but the holes were small and they were discovered as soon as they got close. They also couldn't withstand the bullets from small-caliber hunting rifles at close range.
Several wolf carcasses had already been left within a radius of several meters around the cave entrance.
Some wolves, driven mad by hunger, tore apart the corpses of their companions and began to bite them.
Lu Yao had already observed the terrain outside the cave entrance, so he already had a plan in mind.
He shared his thoughts with Zhang Zongshan and Jiang Baocai.
The goal is to use the terrain to lure all the wolves outside into the bear den.
Then they lit the firewood inside the hot spring valley to seal the cave entrance.
By burning, roasting, and smoking, the wolf pack will be wiped out in no time.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baocai clapped his hands and cheered:
"Team Leader Lu, you're not only a skilled fighter, but also a strategist—a true all-rounder!"
However, Zhang Zongshan was puzzled:
"We can block the entrance inside by fighting and retreating. But what about this entrance? Even if the entire wolf pack gets in, if this side isn't sealed off, they can easily escape through here by setting a fire!"
Jiang Baocai seemed to have been doused with cold water, and immediately calmed down:
"Yes, Team Leader Lu, what should we do?"
Lu Yao pointed to the area above the cave entrance:
"Come out and cover me. I'll climb up to the top of the cave entrance; there's a protruding rock there where I can hide. Once the wolves are inside, I'll come down and set fire to seal the entrance. When you hear my gunshots, you should start setting fire to seal the entrance."
Jiang Baocai looked up.
Quickly shake your head:
"No, no! It's too dangerous! What if the wolves don't all go into the den? What if they find you up there and leave some to attack you?"
Lu Yao smiled slightly: "Isn't there a saying that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub? How can you achieve great things without taking risks!"
Zhang Zongshan gritted his teeth: "Team Leader Lu, you have to command the overall situation; I can't let you take risks. I'll do it! I was lucky to survive on the battlefield!"
Lu Yao never expected that this man who had previously provoked him would be so passionate.
I reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"You lead the team, just do as I say! There's no need to argue about this!"
At this moment, Uncle Ba also came over and greeted Lu Yao:
"Little country bumpkin, you've already laid out the firewood, what's next?"
"Drive the antelope over here."
As Lu Yao instructed, an antelope was tethered every ten meters or so.
Then he instructed Zhang Zongshan: "Now we will begin to lure the wolves in. After setting fire to seal the cave, we must wait a full hour, that is, two hours, before going in to clear the area."
Look at Uncle Ba: "Take good care of Xiao Mei for me. Don't tell me I was in danger; just say I went back to find someone!"
Before Uncle Ba could react, Lu Yao had already given the order:
"Fire! Cover me!"
Then, carrying his gun, he crawled out of the hole.
As soon as a few wolves peeked out from the bushes, a burst of bullets swept across them.
The wolf retreated again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Yao leaped up and climbed onto the stone wall.
In a matter of seconds, you can climb more than ten meters high and then shrink back onto the protruding cliff face.
The firepower below has stopped.
A few bleating sounds of sheep could be heard.
An antelope was tied to the entrance of the burrow.
Zhang Zongshan and his men have already withdrawn.
Several wolves tentatively poked their heads out.
There were no gunshots.
More and more wolves are showing their faces.
A wolf pounced and bit the antelope's hind leg, dragging it down.
Then a wolf pounced and bit the antelope's neck.
The wolves behind them smelled the blood and heard the sheep bleating, and suddenly charged over as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.
A sheep was torn to shreds in no time.
Hearing the sounds of people gnawing on bones below, Lu Yao quietly peeked out.
Below the rocky cliff, a dark mass of hungry wolves could be seen.
The wind rustled the grass, and hungry wolves surged out from the tall grass.
Lu Yao quickly shrank back.
If the wolves below discover that someone is hiding above them, they will inevitably leave some behind to guard him.
At that moment, the sheep inside the cave made a sound.
Wolves have already started to squeeze into the cracks in the rocks.
Zhang Zongshan led his men back to the Hot Spring Valley.
First, seal the entrance to the cave with stones and wait quietly for Lu Yao's gunshot to ring out.
The wolves inside the cave have spotted the antelope and have begun to tear it apart.
Hearing the sounds from inside the cave and smelling the blood, the wolves outside filed in.
When Lu Yao looked around again, there were only a dozen or so wolves left outside.
They are still eating the dead sheep at the entrance of the hole.
We still have to wait.
Going down now would leave him no chance to seal the entrance.
After a while, the wolf at the entrance of the cave didn't go in, but the wolf inside the cave started going in and out.
Wolves are cunning; not all of them went into the den. It seems these were left behind to cover the retreat.
About twenty minutes have passed.
If we wait any longer, there are two possibilities.
One theory is that after the wolves finished eating the antelopes in the cave, they waited at the entrance of the hot spring valley cave for people to come out.
Another method is to leave after eating the sheep.
Then all your plans will fall apart.
What should we do?
Lu Yao took out the matches in his hand and the torch from his waist. If all else failed, he would have no choice but to fight head-on!
Go down and light the grass around the cave, and the wolf will be forced into the cave.
But I can't fire the gun yet.
Because the people inside would also light a fire if they heard gunshots.
The outer entrance to the cave wasn't sealed off, so the wolves ran out after the fire was lit inside.
With a determined heart, Lu Yao fixed his bayonet, tucked his machete and torch into his waistband, and began to climb down the rock face.
As soon as it landed, two wolves rushed over.
