Chapter 59: Surrounded by Wolves (Part 2)

  Their conversation was overheard by others, who looked around nervously and vigilantly, guarding against the possibility of wolves emerging from the dark forest at any time.

  "Brothers! We may be fighting against wolves, don't panic, remember my words, do not fire unless absolutely necessary, we are very close to the Japanese devils' sentry post now, we cannot expose our position, if we fire, it will attract the Japanese devils' artillery bombardment." Dong Li Mao raised his voice and announced the danger they were currently facing.

  "Big brother! They seem to have arrived!" Bald Horse shouted from behind.

  "Brothers, don't panic! Come here and form a circle with your backs to the outside. Sister, stay inside the circle and don't come out." Dong Li Mao reacted quickly and decisively made combat defensive deployments. This circular formation was the best method of defense.

  Ten people, nine of them stood in a circle facing outward, Li Yuanyuan stood inside the circle formed by the nine people with both hands grasping the handle of a knife.

  At this time, in the dark forest around, flickering with a faint blue small dots, dense and numerous, do not know how many wild wolves surrounded them.

  Dong Li Mao saw the kind of mesmerizing, dark blue light that wolves emit at night, like the fireflies in hell from legend. Only then did he realize that these wild beasts were not as gentle and lovely as those he had seen in the iron cages of the zoo. Just looking at this dense, dark blue light would make people feel a deep-seated, eerie fear.

  Everyone held a machete in their hands, ready to engage in close combat with the pack of wolves.

  At this time, Dong Li Mao understood why Guang Tou Ma had to let everyone bring a machete.

  The pack of wolves did not attack immediately, but quietly surrounded Dong Li Mao and the others, with several wolves guarding the front and rear entrances.

  "What are they waiting for?" Dong Li Mao asked the bald-headed Ma beside him.

  "Come on, let's go at them! These beasts, don't be fooled by their four-legged crawling, they're clever, they're just trying to wear us down. Baldy Ma shouted loudly: "Brothers, calm down! Don't be intimidated by these wolves! They're also afraid of the knives in our hands! As soon as they pounce, don't hold back! Aim straight for their necks, one slash and it's all over!"

  Although Guang Tou Ma's voice was loud, Dong Li Mao could still hear his voice trembling, indicating that he was also nervous in his heart.

  As for others, Dong Li Mao did not know, but he heard Li Yuanyuan's crying voice in the circle.

  "Sister, don't be afraid! We're not afraid of the Japanese devils, are we going to be afraid of these few wild wolves?" Dong Li Mao didn't turn his head, encouraging Li Yuanyuan, he didn't dare to turn his head, fearing that if he did, the wolves would pounce on them.

  Xu Hongming's voice trembled as he said, "Yuan Yuan sister, don't...don't worry, I'll protect you. They're just like dogs, not that scary..." He had learned from his father that Li Yuanyuan was half a year older than him, and at this critical moment, he no longer called her Miss Li, but instead called her Sister Yuan.

  Gao Hao was different, he seemed very calm, waving the machete in his hand, and coldly laughed at the wolf pack in front of him: "Come on! You little rascals, I'm itching for a fight, I'll cut your throats open like I did to those Japanese devils. Want to try it out? Come on over! If you don't come, you're just a coward..."

  A few minutes of silence made Dong Li Mao's heart even colder, he became somewhat anxious and wanted to take the initiative to attack.

  "Don't move!" The bald man grabbed Dong Li Mao's hand: "Calm down! They're going to attack! As long as we show a weakness, the lead wolf will give the signal to attack, its signal is howling, and then the wild wolves will come at us in an organized manner, regardless of life or death!"

  Guang Tou Ma didn't say anything wrong, one of his subordinates who was leading the way shuddered with fear, and the torch in his left hand fell to the ground. He quickly squatted down to pick it up.

  At this moment, a wolf, also known as the head wolf mentioned by Bald Horse, let out a loud howl towards the sky. This howl was so captivating that it made Dong Li Mao's heart beat faster and his blood flow quicker, as if he was warming up for the wild wolves to come and feast on hot blood.

  "Everyone, get in formation!" Dong Li Mao also let out a loud roar like the leader of the pack of wolves, and after shouting this sentence, he seemed to be less afraid. A surge of heroic spirit rushed to his head, his right hand tightly grasping the chopping knife, his left hand holding the military sword horizontally.

  The pack of wolves, upon hearing the howl of the lead wolf, seemed to have received a command to fight to the death, and they charged from the thicket towards the people standing in a circle.

  Almost at the same time, nine people swung their knives towards the first wild wolf that pounced on Chao.

  The wild wolf that pounced on Dong Li Mao was not large in stature, and was even a bit thin, but it was extremely agile. The knife in Dong Li Mao's right hand aimed at its throat and chopped down, but the wolf dodged it in mid-air and snapped its jaws towards Dong Li Mao's left neck. Dong Li Mao's eyes moved quickly, and his left hand stabbed forward with his military knife, just in time to pierce the wolf's chest. The wolf's fangs almost touched Dong Li Mao's skin, and he felt a hot, bloody spray on his face. He didn't even have time to pull out the knife that had pierced the wolf's chest before another wolf pounced. Dong Li Mao's right hand swept from left to right, and the sharp blade of his knife sliced open the wolf's belly, accompanied by a bloody smell and the stench of the wolf's internal organs and unexpelled feces. At the same time, his left hand also pulled out the knife, and the two wolves went from attacking to being killed by Dong Li Mao in less than three seconds. The speed was so fast that anyone who hadn't seen it would have a hard time imagining it.

  The first wave of wolf attacks ended with a dozen dead wolves, but Dong Li Mao and his men also had two people bitten by wolves. Both were members of the assault team, one was injured on the calf and the other on the arm, neither was seriously hurt.

  "Brothers! Cheer up! Their second wave of attack will be more ferocious than the first one! Keep our formation tight, we must not let them break through our defense line!" Dong Li Mao shouted loudly, he was no longer afraid now, after the first battle, he thought that the wolves were nothing to be feared, compared to the Japanese devils, they were far inferior.

  That wolf howled again, but its voice was different from before, intermittent.

  Everyone thought the wolf pack was going to pounce again, and they all took their positions, waiting. After a few minutes of waiting, however, the wolf pack did not pounce, but instead adjusted its position.

  "What are they doing?" Dong Li Mao curiously asked the bald-headed Ma beside him.

  "Deploy the troops! Send the strong wolves to the front, and withdraw the injured or weak ones to the back." Bald-headed Ma held a torch in his left hand, while the machete in his right hand was still dripping with blood.

  "Just now you knocked down several wolves?" asked Dong Li Mao.

  "Killed one, injured two." Bald Horse grinned and replied: "This is the first time in my life I've fought wolves, didn't think killing these beasts would be harder than killing those Japanese monkeys."

  "I roughly estimated that there should be about twenty or thirty of them. As long as we can withstand this round of attack, we should be able to scare them off," said Dong Li Mao.

  "Otherwise, let the brothers open fire and shoot, I see these beasts are planning a new way of attack." Bald Horse said.

  "No, the gunfire at night will alert the Japanese army at the checkpoint below the mountain. They will not only strengthen their defenses but may even use mountain cannons to bombard us, making it difficult for us to pass through the blockade line tonight and in the future. Dong Li Mao also wanted to shoot these beasts with his gun, and he even thought of using hand grenades to blast them away, but thinking about the consequences, he had to give up."

  "I didn't expect Dong Lianchang's skills to be so impressive, it really makes me, Bald Horse, admire him!" Bald Horse had just seen Dong Limao take down the wolf and was about to lend a hand, but it turns out he wasn't even needed.

  "Jia Cheng, look, it seems like the wolf pack is gathering to the right." Li Yuanyuan noticed something was off and immediately reminded Dong Limao.
