Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 366 Confrontation
Chapter 366 Confrontation
The next morning, Yue Feng got out of bed early as soon as it was light.
Before going down the mountain the day before yesterday, we agreed with Guo Jianfeng’s forest protection team that we would go into the mountains for hunting again today. The brothers from the hunting team also came to Yue Feng’s house early for dinner.
All the things to be brought up the mountain were packed up, and Master Sun drove the forest farm’s Jiefang truck to Yue Feng’s house.
At Yue Feng’s command, all personnel, equipment, dogs and falcons got on the truck. The Jiefang truck drove straight out of the village and headed straight for the forest farm along the Chaiji Road up the mountain.
After having the experience of leading people to hunt for the first time the day before yesterday, I felt more relaxed today.
This time, Yue Feng planned to go not to the Wild Boar Nest mountain area, but to another mountain area that he was more familiar with in his previous life, Shizigou.
Judging from Yue Feng’s way of doing things, the preparations must have been quite thorough.
When doing a siege, it is usually necessary to bring people to scout the area in advance. It is more scientific to draw a topographic map in advance like we did the day before yesterday.
Why didn’t we make these arrangements in advance when we changed to the site in Shizigou today?
In fact, it is very simple. The terrain of this mountain area is too simple, so simple that there is no need to scout and arrange it in advance.
Walk along Chaiji Road towards the No. 55 logging area, and you will see a huge ditch running from north to south, and that means you have arrived.
The mountain area of Shizigou was the first place where people were organized to start logging when the forest farm was first built. After the original big trees were cut down and transported away, the vacant mountain area became a secondary forest, which has been going on for 20 to 30 years.
The north-south depth of this cross-shaped ditch is at least 7 miles, and the longest east-west depth is more than 15 miles.
It is low in the southeast and high in the northwest. The bottom is a mixture of secondary forest and low bushes. It is far from the feeling of old forest with towering ancient trees blocking out the sun.
To conduct a fencing operation here, you only need to take a car to take people to a few key passes, and then the driving team will start to move and chase the prey that may be moving at the bottom of the ditch forward.
There is a large drop on both sides of the ditch and the terrain slope is very steep.
The natural terrain structure reduces the difficulty for hunters to lead people into the mountains to hunt and fence by at least several levels.
As long as the shooter responsible for closing the net has good marksmanship, there is a high probability that the prey will not escape.
The car drove to the gate of the forest farm. This time, Guo Jianfeng and his buddies from the forest protection team had already gathered. When they heard the roar of a car at the gate, they came out with their weapons in hand.
“Xiao Yue!”
“Brother Guo!” Yue Feng greeted the other party with a smile.
“What are your plans for today? Should we take people to that wild boar den from the day before yesterday?”
Guo Jianfeng did not wait for Yue Feng’s new arrangements yesterday, nor did he take him to the new hunting ground to scout the area. He thought he would continue to take people to the old ground.
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “Over there, we have driven away at least two-thirds of the wild boar den. We have almost wiped out both herds of pigs. It will be difficult to get a good harvest if we go there the next day!”
“I’m also confused! You didn’t come to the forest farm to take me to check out the area yesterday! Tell me, where should we go today?”
“Shizigou! That place is simple, and the terrain is quite advantageous! We just need to arrange the personnel simply! It is relatively close to Chaiji Road, in the No. 55 forest area!”
“Forest Area No. 55? A full logging area?” Hearing this number, Guo Jianfeng frowned slightly.
Yue Feng nodded: “Yes! The previously fully logged area should now be considered a secondary forest!
There are only small trees there, and even few forestry workers go there. I know a few suitable terrain areas, and we can just use a big truck to pull people over! It’s an easy job!”
“Let’s go! If you say it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay. Without checking the location, I won’t be responsible for the tactical arrangements. You are fully responsible today!”
“okay!!”
After a brief communication, Guo Jianfeng led his team members onto another large truck. Two vehicles, with more than 55 people, set out from the forest farm gate again and headed straight for Forest Area No. .
Compared to the nervousness they felt when they set out to play the game last time, the team members are much more relaxed today.
Although we didn’t get any meat during the last hunting trip, Yue Feng not only arranged for everyone to have delicious barbecue, but also gave them several packs of expensive cigarettes.
Everyone knows that Yue Feng is not a stingy person, so his enthusiasm is naturally much higher.
Now when I go on business trips, I have food to eat and I can take it with me. I go back and forth by car, and apart from the fact that it’s a bit cold, there’s really nothing wrong with it.
Today, Yue Feng didn’t bother to be polite with Guo Jianfeng. Because he had to lead the driver, Lao Sun, Yue Feng got directly into the passenger seat.
“Brother Sun, when you get to the vicinity of Forest Area 55, please walk slowly. I haven’t been here for two years. Walk slowly so I can recognize the road!” Yue Feng said kindly.
Master Sun nodded with a smile: “Okay! We’ll stop wherever you say we will!
There are very few cars passing through the logging area. There should be no logging plans around this area recently. It’s okay for us to just stop in the middle of the road!
I just don’t know if the maintenance of Chaiji Road can keep up. If the snow is too thick, we won’t be able to go faster even if we want to!”
“Yeah! I had expected this!
There are not many cars passing by, so the road maintenance must be poor. As long as the road is passable, it’s fine. There are so many people, so even if the road is a little worse, it’s not a big problem!”
Yue Feng had already predicted the road problem. The Chaiji Road was built to facilitate the logging and transportation of logs.
All the forests in Forest Area No. 55 have been logged. The secondary forests in the surrounding large areas of the mountains do not meet the logging standards. Except for a few forest areas passing by, forestry workers usually do not work here.
It is certain that the road is in disrepair and difficult to travel on, but Yue Feng is not afraid. There are more than 20 strong laborers going out today. Even if the car gets stuck accidentally, they can work together to lift it out.
This is indeed the case. The road conditions on the Chaiji Road leading to Forest Area No. 55 are indeed much worse.
There were some minor problems at several places along the way, but strength lies in numbers, and despite a slight delay, we still arrived at Yue Feng’s reserved area on time.
With the experience of the last fight, today’s battle is not as complicated as the day before yesterday.
Relying on the terrain marks in his memory, Yue Feng dropped off the team members along the way and distributed firecrackers for driving away wild beasts. After everything was arranged, the main force of the hunting team got off the vehicle and started today’s battle.
There was an endless valley, and we were moving forward on the thick snow crust underneath.
Not afraid of being lost, this time all four dogs were free to move forward according to the predetermined plan at the bottom of the valley in the mountain field with great momentum.
In Forest Area No. 55, the resources of mountain livestock are quite good because even loggers rarely come here.
The four main members of Yue Feng’s team walked less than a mile with their dogs and found traces of a herd of deer.
In the secondary forest, the height of the trees is much lower, and the new branches and buds that grow back from the felled trees are easier to eat, so mountain animals such as deer and roe deer like to gather here for the winter.
The large footprints alerted Yue Feng and his friends, and they followed the footprints for about two miles before the dogs in front started to make noises.
Woof woof woof! !
Dahuang’s route was the most stable. After locking onto the scent of the deer, he started calling first.
“Da Huang, chase!!!”
At Yue Feng’s command, the lead dog, which had been waiting, barked a few times and broke away from the main group and ran away.
The lead dog moved, and the other three dogs immediately followed.
The big black eagle that had been circling in the sky saw its little dog start to join the battle, and it also spontaneously increased its flying altitude to look for traces of prey from above.
The eagles and the dogs have almost perfected their tacit understanding in battle. They have had experience in teamwork and hunting wild boars and deer more than once before. Now, when they see the reaction of the dogs, they know what they need to do.
As the flight altitude increased, a herd of deer in the distant valley soon appeared in front of the big black eagle.
There are five sika deer in this group, which is not a very large herd. The leader is a big male deer with magnificent antlers and a strong body, plus two female deer and two and a half deer.
At this moment, the barking of the hounds had echoed far away in the valley.
Deer have a lifespan of a thousand years and are always worried about everything they do. The leader of a herd is extremely alert when leading the herd to hunt for food.
After hearing the barking of the hunting dogs, the deer looked up and let out a warning cry, and immediately accelerated and fled forward.
According to the normal dog hunting logic in the valley, it is actually very difficult for the hunting dogs that track footprints to chase the deer herd. The dogs’ jumping and running abilities make it difficult to catch up with sika deer on flat ground, not to mention the thick snow crust.
However, the presence of the big black eagle made up for the dogs’ shortcomings to a certain extent. After it discovered the traces of the deer, it immediately barked a few times and accelerated to chase them.
On the side of the Cross Ditch, Yue Feng deployed two groups of troops in the center area of the cross, and four 56 and a half guns were stationed at a high place with a wide field of vision suitable for ambush.
According to the battle mode preset by Yue Feng, Yue Feng should lead the hunting team and Guo Jianfeng and some driving personnel to chase the mountain animals from the north and south ends of the Cross Ditch to the middle, drive them into the ambush place and strangle them.
But plans are not as fast as changes, and something unexpected happened today.
After the big black eagle accelerated its flight and caught up with the deer herd, it kicked down a half-grown fawn with a powerful dive and grabbed the fawn’s head and started pecking it.
The big male deer in the herd who noticed a bird of prey attacking him was quite courageous. When he saw an eagle attacking his children, he stopped, turned around and rushed in the direction of the eagle’s pursuit.
The antlers on the big stag’s head are not vegetarian. Seeing this, the big black eagle immediately took off and avoided it.
When the other fleeing doe saw their leader turn around, they also turned back.
After the dog behind barked a few times, the sound can no longer be heard, and there is a big black hawk above our heads.
I don’t know whether this was smart or stupid, but after the big stag lowered its head and licked the fawn that was kicked and blinded by its eyes, it actually neighed a few times, and together with the other three deer surrounded its injured companion, and confronted the eagle in the sky on the spot.
When the big black eagle saw the deer herd stopped, he knew that his little dog and his owner were still behind, so he simply circled above the deer’s heads and waited, swooping down from time to time to make feint attacks.
To Yue Feng’s surprise, an eagle actually managed to temporarily keep the deer in their nest.
