In the Mongolian grasslands, large-scale wolf hunting was chosen at the beginning of winter, when the marmots all over the hills had closed their caves and hibernated. The otter, which was bigger than a rabbit and had a lot of fat and oil, was a favorite food of wolves and was also one of the food sources of grassland wolves. As soon as the marmots entered the cave, the wolves began to attack the livestock more, and the ranch needed to organize the hunters to fight back. At the beginning of winter, the grassland wolves had just grown their fur to protect them from the cold. At this time, the wolf skin was tough, the fur was new, bright, and thick. Most of the high-quality wolf skins came from this season, and the purchase price at the purchasing station was also set at the highest. Hunting wolves in the early winter was an important source of income for herders other than work points. Hunting was a great opportunity for young herdsmen to train and show off their horse skills, pole skills, and courage. It was also an opportunity to show off the military talents of the organizers of the animal husbandry team, such as reconnaissance, scouting, field selection, timing, organization, dispatch, and command. Hunting wolves in early winter was also an ancient tradition of the chiefs, chanyu, khans, and khans of the grasslands to conduct military training and actual combat exercises for their tribes. The thousand-year-old tradition had been passed down to this day. When the heavy snow stopped, the siege was basically ready. At this time, the wolf paw prints on the snow were the clearest, and the wolf pack's concealment was greatly reduced. Although the wolf's legs were long, it could not run fast when it first stepped on the wet snow. A horse with longer legs could make a big profit. The early winter of the new snow was the season for wolves to die. The grassland herdsmen always used this opportunity to curb the arrogance of the wolves and vent their grievances to the people and animals who had suffered for a year.
However, the rules of the grassland could be understood by humans, but also by wolves. These years, the wolves had become more intelligent. After beating them once a year, the wolves understood. As soon as the wolves saw the new snow stand firm and the grassland turn from yellow to white, they ran across the border. They either went into the mountains to hunt yellow sheep and wild rabbits, or hid in the snow-covered wilderness and starved, relying on chewing the bones of animals and the rotten skin and hair dried in the sun to survive. They waited until the snow had hardened and they were used to running on the snow. When they were tired, they came to rob them.
At the department meeting, Wuliji said, A few years ago, when they were hunting at the beginning of winter, they didn't catch many big wolves, but only small wolves. In the future, he had to be like a wolf and try to reduce the conventional fighting style. He had to randomly attack and catch them off guard. He had to stop and fight, stop and fight, and fight and fight. He had to win in the chaos. Although it was chaotic and did not conform to the art of war, it made it impossible for the wolf to grasp the pattern and guard against it. Since we don't have a spring siege, we'll break the old rules and have a spring siege to give the wolf pack a surprise attack. Although the wolf skin was not as good as the one at the beginning of winter, it was still more than a month before the wolf shed. Even if it could not be sold at a good price, he could still get the reward bullets from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The field department meeting decided that in order to eliminate the bad influence of this wolf killing horse herd incident, in order to carry out the instructions of the higher-ups to eliminate the wolf scourge of the Elun Grassland, the entire field was mobilized and a large-scale wolf extermination campaign was launched. Bao Shungui said,"Although it is currently the busy season of collecting lambs in spring, it is not easy to take labor, but the battle of surrounding the wolves must be fought. Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain to all parties."
Wuliji added,"According to previous experience, after a big battle, the main force of the wolf pack will definitely retreat. They know that at this time, people will definitely come for revenge." The wolves were probably near the border at this moment. As long as there was any movement in the pasture, the wolves would immediately flee across the border. Therefore, they could not fight for the next few days. They would let it go for a few days. When the horse meat in the wolf's stomach was completely digested, they would come back and think about the frozen meat of the dead horses. The marmots and rats had not come out of their holes, and the wolves had no food. They would definitely take the risk to snatch the horse meat.
Billig nodded in agreement. I'm going to take some men to the dead horse and put more wolf traps next to it to fool the wolves. When the alpha wolf saw the newly buried trap, he must have thought that the person only wanted to defend and did not want to attack. In the past, when the field department organized a wolf hunt, they had to bring a large group of dogs. They had to clip the wolves in the wild first. Otherwise, it would hurt everyone if they broke the dog's legs. This time, even the cleverest wolf would be confused by the pincer before attacking. If they could catch a few wolves, the wolf pack would feel dizzy. Looking at the horse meat from afar, they didn't dare to eat it, and they couldn't bear to leave. At that time, we can quietly go up and surround them. We can definitely circle a lot of wolves and most likely hit a few of the leading wolves.
Bao Shungui asked Bi Lige,"I heard that the wolf thief here won't touch the place where the poison is placed." The old wolf head could even bite a circle of poisonous meat and let the female wolf cub eat the non-poisonous meat next to it. Some alpha wolves could even pull out their wolf pincers like a landmine to spite you. Was that true?
Billig replied," Not entirely. The poison sold by the supply and marketing cooperative is so strong that even dogs can smell it. How can wolves not smell it?" I never use poison myself. I might even poison a dog. I like to place traps. I have a unique skill. Other than God Wolf, not many wolves can smell where the traps are buried.
Bao Shungui felt that the field headquarters had become the headquarters, and the production meeting had become a military meeting. It seemed that when the higher-ups sent Wu Liji, the cavalry company commander, to be transferred to the ranch, it was absolutely appropriate. It was also logical for him to be here as a military representative. Bao Shungui tapped the teacup with his pen and said to all the members of the meeting, It was decided!
The field headquarters issued a death order: without the permission of the field headquarters, each team and individual were not allowed to go to the north of the pasture to kill the wolves, especially to shoot and scare the wolves. The field department would organize a large-scale besiege of the wolves. The teams immediately got ready to take action after receiving the notice.
Each team of herdsmen began to choose horses, feed dogs, repair poles, sharpen knives, clean guns, and prepare ammunition. Everything was calm and orderly, just like preparing to pick up lambs during the Qingming Festival, cutting fur in mid-summer, cutting grass in mid-autumn, and slaughtering sheep in early winter. They were busy but not chaotic.
In the morning, the clouds that covered the sky darkened again. They pressed down on the distant mountains and flattened all the mountains. The Elun Grassland appeared even flatter and more oppressive. Snow floated in the sky, and the wind was soft and powerless. The iron chimney on the top of the yurt was like a patient with embosom. He breathed with difficulty and coughed from time to time, spitting smoke onto the snow of the camp that was covered with sheep dung, cow dung, and broken grass. The end of this cold spring flow seemed to be very long, and there was no sign of warming up at the end. Fortunately, the herd was still hungry, and there was still half a finger thick of fat, enough to withstand the warm spring when the snow melted and grass grew. There was still the first sprout of grass under the snow, and the sheep could use their hooves to dig through the snow and nibble on it until they were half full.
The flock of sheep quietly curled up in the grass circle of the earthen wall, lazily ruminating on the grass, not wanting to leave the circle. The three big dogs guarding the fence had been barking all night. At this moment, they were cold and hungry. Their bodies were trembling as they squeezed in front of the yurt. As soon as Chen Zhen opened the door, the hunting dog Huanghuang pounced on him. It put its two front paws on his shoulders, licked his chin, and wagged its tail desperately, asking him for food. Chen Zhen took out half a basin of leftover meat and bones from his bag and poured them out. The three dogs snatched all the bones and lay down on the ground. They held up the big bone stick with their claws, tilted their heads, and chewed hard. With a cracking sound, they swallowed all the bones and marrow.
Chen Zhen picked out a few pieces of fat mutton from the meat bowl in his bag and fed it to the female dog Isle alone. Isle's fur was black and shiny. Like Huang Huang, he was also a hunting dog from Xing 'an Mountains. He had a long head, long body, long legs, a thin waist, and thin fur. The two hunting dogs were extremely strong. They were fast, turned around quickly, and could pinch and bite. Once they saw their prey, they were so excited that it was as if they were in heat. Both dogs were masters of fox hunting, especially Huanghuang, who had inherited and learned hunting skills from its parents. It would not be confused by the fox's swinging tail. It could directly bite the fox's tail and then brake, letting the fox rush forward desperately. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth and threw the fox forward, causing its fatal neck and vital belly to turn upside down. Yellow-yellow rushed forward a few more steps and bit off the fox's throat. The hunter could get a piece of intact fox fur. As for those dogs, their legs were either broken by the fox's big tail or the fox's skin was bitten open, often angering the hunters to beat the dogs up. Huanghuang and Isle weren't afraid of the wolves. They could rely on their nimble and agile skills to fight with the wolves and not let the wolves bite them. They could buy time for the hunters and dogs to catch the wolves.
