Chapter 647: A herd of wild boars descends into the mountains to hunt
In mid-January, Wen Qiang was out of confinement. Since Zhou Weihan had not returned to Yama Wang Mountain for a long time, he took his wife and children back to Yama Wang Mountain before Laba.
Returning to the King of Hell Mountain after a long absence, Zhou Weihan was extremely interested in Zhao Gang. Of course, this was what Zhou Weihan said.
Zhou Tainan, a little guy who was just one month old, suddenly became the favorite of everyone on the mountain.
Today, Yamawang Mountain has been a base camp for a long time, and the living conditions are not bad. The engineering camp affiliated to the farm rebuilt the entire camp within a year. In addition to the electricity that has been connected for a long time, the mountain also has
Tap water is available.
There is still one month left before the Spring Festival. In the past, heavy snow would have closed the mountains at this time, but this year there is no sign of snow.
In the headquarters, everyone gathered together.
Ding Dabapan, the Minister of Logistics, was sitting and reporting excitedly: "Commander, the farm is developing very well now. At first, we only got some grain and vegetables. So far, the farm has opened up a lot of wasteland in the mountainous areas.
field!"
"The main medicinal materials are grown, including 6,000 feet of mountain ginseng and 15,000 feet of Codonopsis pilosula. In addition, there are artificially grown honeysuckle, Panax notoginseng, Poria and other medicinal materials!"
The unit of quantity Zhang Weihan sounded a little unfamiliar to Zhou Weihan, but looking at Ding Dababaan's excitement, he knew that the harvest in the coming year would not be small.
"I met He Kangmin at the market in Pingshun before. I heard what he said. The farm has developed very well under your leadership. From being able to eat well before, to now being able to eat well and making continuous profits, Abacus
, you are a great hero!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Hey, this is what I should do!" Ding Abacus scratched his head in embarrassment.
Several people in the house were talking and laughing, but something unexpected happened in the mountainous area around Yama Mountain.
Since the autumn harvest, people in the surrounding mountainous areas have spontaneously begun to go deep into the Taihang Mountains to pick wild medicinal materials and then sell them to the army.
Yamawang Mountain is a branch of Taihang Mountain. All the back mountains of Yamawang Mountain are within the scope of the farm. All the original dense forest trees have been cut down and turned into fields and medicinal fields. However, there are many other connected branches of Taihang Mountain in the surrounding area.
Less dangerous.
"Minister, it's not good, it's not good, the people who entered the mountains encountered a herd of wild boars, and seven villagers were injured!" A worker from the farm rushed to the headquarters to report in a panic.
"What?" Ding Abacus stood up in shock when he heard this: "Is the injury serious?"
"It's been sent to the hospital. I'll report it quickly. I don't know the situation yet!"
Several people had no intention of chatting anymore and hurried to the hospital to check on the injured.
The fellow villagers who went into the mountains were originally there to pick medicinal materials. They only carried hatchets and axes with them for self-defense. If they could handle a single wild boar, who would have known that they would encounter a group of wild boars.
Among the seven injured, three were seriously injured and four were slightly injured. Zhou Weihan couldn't help but take this sudden change very seriously.
"Are there often many wild boars at this time?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Wild boars often come out in groups in the summer and cause harm to crops. We organized a hunt before. Maybe it's winter this time and there's nothing to eat in the mountains!" Ding Abacus said.
"It would be a disaster to keep it. It happens to be the Chinese New Year, so why not get some meat to eat and improve the food for the soldiers!"
"In this way, let the Fifth Regiment and the 29th Regiment allocate capable personnel, and then call in experienced hunters from Wuyi to coordinate and conduct a careful search of the surrounding mountainous areas!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements right away!" Ding Abacus responded. Zhou Weihan's order will be a good thing for the continued development of resources in the Taihang Mountains in the future.
After the order came out from Yamawang Mountain, the 5th Regiment and the 29th Regiment quickly mobilized the main force of more than 3,000 people. Since they were going into the mountain for hunting, all light machine guns, submachine guns, and short guns were assembled.
And when the news reached the ears of the villagers in the mountainous area, all the villagers nearby applauded. In this era, wild animals frequently appear in the surrounding villages.
For example, it is a trivial matter for wild boars to harm fields, but carnivorous animals such as wild wolves, tigers, North China leopards, jackals, and lynxes often enter villages and hurt people.
Two days later, the people throughout Wuyi started to move. The old hunters who often went into the mountains gathered at the foot of Yamawang Mountain with guns and domestic dogs.
There were more than 400 hunters in total and more than 700 local dogs. According to Zhou Weihan's order, they went into the mountain to hunt and the people were divided into three groups.
The first road enters the mountain from the back mountain of Yamawang Mountain, the second road enters the mountain from Daqing Mountain in the west, and the third road enters the mountain from Laoye Mountain in the east.
The three groups of people will be provided with dry food for seven days by the army, and they will search in a dragnet style, at least to catch all the potential dangers within a hundred miles.
Zhou Weihan also followed the path of King of Hell Mountain into the mountains. Although the soldiers were brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, they were not as good as those experienced hunters after entering the mountains.
Therefore, after entering the mountains, the troops were divided into several groups, each with dozens of experienced hunters leading the way with dogs.
Out of the back mountain of Yama Mountain, more than ten miles to the north, there is an oak forest. The fruit of the oak tree is good for feeding pigs, so this oak forest has become a place where wild boars often hang out.
The troops stopped near the oak forest. The leading hunter, Lao Li Tou, took a few people to investigate alone. Not long after entering, they discovered fresh wild boar excrement.
A big black dog held by Old Li Tou smelled the smell of feces and was about to run into the woods, but Old Li Tou covered his mouth tightly.
After understanding the situation in the forest, Lao Li Tou immediately returned with his people.
"Comrade Zhou, depending on the situation, there are at least hundreds of wild boars in the forest in front. It seems that they came here last night. Wild boars are very lazy. Under normal circumstances, they will not move their nests before ten o'clock in the morning. Now is the time.
What a great opportunity!" Old Li Tou said.
The wild boar is a very interesting animal. It explains what it means to fly separately when disaster strikes. If there is danger, children and wives are not as important as themselves, and they all run away for their own lives.
The more wild boars gather together, the more timid they become and the faster they run.
But if you encounter a single cannon egg and go crazy, even a tiger will dare to fight. If the two fangs in front of the mouth rub against each other, you will either die or be injured.
"Master Li, when it comes to hunting in the mountains, you have experience. Whatever you say, we will obey your orders!" Zhou Weihan knew that hunting should be left to professionals.
"There are more than 500 of us here. If we swarm up and shoot when we get up, the wild boar will run away after being frightened. In the mountainous area, two legs can't run as fast as four!"
"Besides, guns don't have eyes. In a panic, it's impossible to hurt anyone. I saw that I was surrounding the forest!"
"The personnel are divided into four groups. There is a hillside to the west of the forest. The main personnel and machine guns are all arranged on the west side. I will lead the people on the east side, and there are also personnel on the north and south sides!"
"But I need to fire first to alert the wild boars to the east, and then fire to drive them away from the north and south. In this way, the wild boars will naturally run towards the west!" Old Li Tou said.
"Okay, let's do it!" Zhou Weihan said immediately.
