Chapter 276: Battle of the Wolf Pack
It would be great if Ye Xin were here!
With her space, they can transport troops and weapons, so they don't have to travel such a long distance.
Since entering Hong Kong and Taiwan Mountain, Liu Mingfei has felt like he was being watched and that danger could happen at any time.
The forbidden area is ahead, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
He had to shout to his teammates: "Don't just rush forward, pay attention to your sides and behind you! The beasts here are not ordinary."
Each of them carried weapons and ammunition weighing dozens of kilograms, and the soldiers were exhausted after climbing the mountain and marching quickly.
After walking for a while, they were closer to the forbidden area.
Fang Xin glanced at the soldiers behind him, then at the burnt forest of tall trees in front of him. He ordered, "Rest where you are! Eat something before setting off again."
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately took off their bags and sat on the ground, refusing to move.
They set out before dawn and walked for more than three hours. They were so tired!
Fang Xin sat on a tree stump, opened the kettle and took a sip: "Deputy Captain Liu, do you feel that there is something different about Hong Kong and Taiwan Mountain today?"
Liu Mingfei looked around and said, "It's so quiet! We didn't even see a single hare along the way! It's quite different from the last time we came here to explore!"
Fang Xin nodded: "That's how I feel. I always feel that today is a little unusually quiet. The bullets are loaded and ready to fight at any time!"
"Loaded and ready to fight!"
"Loaded and ready to fight!"
…
The order was passed down level by level, and Fang Xin felt slightly comforted.
He took out a compressed biscuit and was about to eat something, but he saw Liu Mingfei suddenly stand up and yell, "Get ready for battle!"
Fang Xin stuffed the biscuit into his pocket and immediately stood up. He saw it too!
A pair of orange eyes appeared not far away, less than 20 meters away from them.
It was a wolf! One of those big wolves from the forbidden area!
The soldiers immediately stood up and, as per previous training, formed groups of three, back to back, with their guns pointed outwards.
However, the big wolf seemed to just come and take a look. When it saw them stand up, it turned around and dived into the jungle, never to be seen again.
Fang Xin and Liu Mingfei looked at each other: Just a false alarm?
No! They still have strong insecurities.
Fang Xin still stared ahead and ordered, "Team one, team two, get on the tree!"
The ten team members found a suitable position respectively. They climbed up to the treetops like monkeys, took out binoculars and looked in the direction where the wolf disappeared.
Ahead was a forbidden area with tall trees. The view was not particularly clear from their perspective. However, even with the unclear view, they were still frightened. If they had not been well-trained, they would have almost fallen from the tree.
"Captain... Captain, there are wolves ahead! Lots and lots of wolves!"
"Captain, there are wolves behind us! They are as big as oxen! One, two... there are 15 of them behind us!"
Fang Xin immediately made a decision: "The first and second squadrons should rest where they are and try to maintain their strength. Everyone else, be alert! Change of shifts in thirty minutes."
"Teams three and four, prepare to receive the observers from teams one and two."
He glanced at Liu Mingfei and said, "Deputy Captain Liu, you should also take a break. These wolves are not ordinary wolves. We can't keep on being alert like this."
Liu Mingfei put away the gun in his hand and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Fang Tai! I'll take over for you later."
Fang Xin nodded, but kept his eyes straight ahead, staring vigilantly at the jungle in front of him.
I cursed in my heart: Damn it! Aren’t animals in the forbidden area allowed to stay within the boundaries of the forbidden area? How come I encountered a pack of wolves before I even entered the forbidden area?
The wolf seemed to know their plan and had no intention of giving them a chance to rest.
A wolf howled from the front: "Awooo..."
Five or six wild wolves jumped out of the jungle and pounced on the soldiers closest to them!
The soldier held a gun and fired a volley of bullets at the wild wolf that was rushing towards him.
The wolf did not fight hard. Instead, when it saw them raising their guns, it changed direction halfway and disappeared into the jungle in an instant.
All the bullets missed, and just when they were changing the magazines, they appeared again!
This time there were even more, more than a dozen wild wolves as big as oxen, rushing towards the soldiers!
The soldier who had not had time to change his magazine was pounced upon by the wolf and hurriedly picked up his weapon to fight back.
However, how could a human's weight compare to that of these wild wolves? In just a moment, the wild wolves pressed him to the ground, and the sharp fangs bit his skin, causing blood to spurt out.
The wolves retreated after one strike, and before the others could react, they retreated into the jungle again.
Only six soldiers were left on the ground, with blood oozing from their necks, and it was obvious that they were dying.
The rescue team immediately stepped forward, dragged them to the rear, bandaged them and rescued them.
Liu Mingfei couldn't sit still any longer: "No! We can't just sit here and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack!"
"Team Three! Grenades!" Fang Xin gritted his teeth and ordered, "Blast a path for me!"
There were five people in Team Three, who were originally resting on the spot, planning to take over the observation mission from Team One. Upon hearing the captain's order, they stood up without hesitation and approached the edge of the forbidden area.
A small group of people shouted, "According to you, 150 meters away, there are twelve wolves at three o'clock, five at one o'clock, and five at twelve o'clock. That's wrong! There are other wolves hiding at four and five o'clock!"
After obtaining the exact location of the wolf pack, the five members of Team Three threw grenades in the designated direction.
The iron lumps fell on the wolves like raindrops as if they were free of charge. In a blink of an eye, more than twenty of them were thrown.
The five team members quickly lay down, listening to the explosion coming from the front, and felt relieved: I don’t believe that you won’t be killed by the explosion!
After the explosion, Team One and Team Two took out their telescopes again to check their results.
"One was injured at three o'clock, one was injured at four o'clock, and the others have all escaped!"
"They are retreating east and west. We can no longer see them."
The five team members were dumbfounded: How could two wolves be injured by more than twenty grenades? How bad must their aim be?
The voice of the second team came: "The wolf behind us is moving! Be careful!"
Then, a wailing sound came from the end of the team, and another soldier was bitten!
Then there were gunshots and explosions, and the wolves disappeared into the jungle again.
Fang Xin ordered: "Defense formation, continue forward!"
We can't stay here for long.
Liu Mingfei smiled bitterly: In just one encounter, he injured more than a dozen warriors, while only two wolves were slightly injured. No matter how you look at it, they suffered a great loss.
"Team Fang, don't forget that there are more than just wild wolves in the forbidden area!"
Thinking of the ferocious tigers and big black bears there, Liu Mingfei still feels weak in his legs.
Last time, they had Ye Xin’s 360-degree monitoring and command, as well as the help of the wolf pack controlled by Xuanxuan. This time, they have to rely on themselves!
Gunshots were heard from the right again: "We found wild wolves, about five or six! We didn't hit them!"
From the left, gunshots and reports were heard: "We spotted wolves on the left, about five or six, but we didn't hit them! One person was injured."
"Damn it! We've just entered the forbidden area!" Fang Xin was a little angry.
