Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, since you're confident, let's get some rest!"
We'll set off early tomorrow morning, and we probably won't be back at this forward base for a while!

Let's set up another temporary camp near the core mission area!

Number One nodded: "Okay!"
Based on the supplies and physical reserves we currently carry, even without the personnel from this forward base, it won't affect our long-term survival on the mountain!
We have plenty of confidence in our ability to survive in the wild!

Hearing Number One's attitude, Yue Feng nodded: "That's enough. They're on guard outside. Let's all get some rest and conserve our energy so we can set off early tomorrow morning!"

At this moment, Number One, who had not yet refuted Yue Feng's arrangements, hesitated before saying, "Leader, I have a small personal opinion!"

"you say!"

"The five of us can take turns keeping watch at night to ensure we have the energy for the day! Let's arrange a night watch shift!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng knew that Number One had also noticed something amiss. He didn't delve deeper into the discussion, but nodded and whispered, "Alright, then you guys arrange your schedules and stay in the tents to keep watch at night. We can discuss everything else after we set off!"

When Yue Feng finished speaking about other things, he made a gesture of craning his neck to look outside, which clearly indicated that he was wary of the logistics support team outside.

Number One reacted quickly, nodding: "Okay!"
It's 8:30 PM now. From 9 PM until 4:30 AM tomorrow, there are seven and a half hours. Starting from the 5th, everyone will be on night duty for one and a half hours!

"Yes!" the soldiers all responded immediately.

After a brief arrangement, everyone quickly settled into a resting state.

Nothing happened that night; nothing occurred at the camp.

At 4:30 the next morning, everyone got up on time.

Outside, the logistics soldiers responsible for making breakfast were also preparing breakfast in advance.

The field pot contained compressed rations and canned food, along with some fresh roe deer meat and wild vegetables.

Breakfast was basically the same as yesterday's dinner, except that there was a lot more compressed food and the aroma of grains was stronger.

During the meal, Li Fei asked, "What are the plans for the next few days, boss?"

While eating, Yue Feng said, "We can just stay put at our forward base!"

Let's go explore the surrounding area first. If we wander too far, we might have to spend the night in the mountains. We're not in a hurry to come back!

Upon hearing this, Li Fei continued, "So what's the approximate schedule? How many days will you be staying outside?"

The more the other party inquired, the more wary Yue Feng became: "I can't say for sure. It might be a day or two if it's short, or three to five days, or even ten days or more if it's long!"
I know Captain Li is worried about our safety, but you don't need to worry about that at all!

We are professional forest hunters who make a living by hunting in the autumn and winter!

In addition, there are several soldiers transferred from the Air Force ground crew, all carrying guns! Even if we encounter a mountain tiger with its claws, we won't be afraid!
During our time away, my instructions to you are to take good care of the home and safeguard our supplies.

If we run out of supplies while out there, we'll come back to replenish them! Or, we'll return to regroup after we've completed our mission!

Li Fei wanted to try to get something more, but Yue Feng had made his task very clear. After hesitating for half a second, Li Fei nodded to indicate that he would obey the order.

"it is good!"

"That's settled then. We'll set off after we've eaten our fill! We'll await our triumphant return!"

"Be sure to stay safe! The forward base will be on standby until you return!" Li Fei reminded him again.

"Ok!"

After Yue Feng and the rest of the team filled their stomachs, they took their luggage from the tent, led their dogs, took off their falcon hats and released them into the air to follow them, thus embarking on their journey.

After Yue Feng and his group of seven left, a soldier who had been staying next to Li Fei came into Li Fei's tent.

"Boss, what's next? Plan A failed. They brought their own security personnel, but didn't use any of ours!"

Li Fei took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stubbed it out under his shoe: "Judging from what Yue Feng said, these people should be air force ground crew temporarily transferred from the base. They shouldn't be a threat."

Xiao Hu, you two take Xiao Lin and follow behind their hunting party. Be careful not to be spotted. Once you've located their camp, one of you keep watch while the other returns immediately to report!

If they find out, don't confront them directly.

The official explanation is that they were secretly protecting them, fearing for their safety! The rest, leave it to me!

If they really find the legendary hanging sheep in this vast mountain forest, they will definitely have to rely on helicopters to get it out as quickly as possible!
As long as we hold this position at the forward base and don't fall out with Yue Feng and his men, we'll definitely be able to complete the mission assigned by our superiors!

Xiao Hu: "Yes!"

……

On the other side, Yue Feng followed behind the group of soldiers, quickly traversing through the mountains and forests.

In the first hour or so after dawn, everyone had plenty of energy and set off at a relatively fast pace.

Especially these five soldiers, each carrying an oversized backpack, still moved very fast as they traversed the mountains and forests.

As the sun slowly rose, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao were getting tired, so they called everyone to stop, have a drink of water, and rest for a while.

"Let's take a break, I'm a little out of breath!" Yue Feng said, leaning against the tree trunk and panting heavily.

Number One, without changing his expression or panting, said: "Okay, take a five-minute break!"

I suspect they might have sent people to follow us, so my advice is to march as fast as possible, increase the distance between us and our pursuers, and shake them off!

"You also think they might have a problem?" Yue Feng asked in a low voice.

Number One said with great certainty, "When the higher-ups assigned us the mission, they didn't mention any arrangements for an forward base or logistics team members!"
Moreover, judging from the looks and attitudes of Li Fei and his group, it's clear they've been hiding some information from us!

In addition, I made Number Two go out of the tent to pee in the middle of the night last night, but he deliberately went into the wrong tent.

Xiao Er discovered that a shortwave radio was hidden in Li Fei's tent!

"A radio station? They didn't see you go in, did they?" Upon hearing this, Yue Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Yesterday, he did inquire about the specifics from Li Fei, the squad leader of the forward base.

Li Fei said at the time that if there was an emergency, he could send someone down the mountain to deliver a message. The nearest village was more than 30 kilometers away from the mountain.

With a radio station, there's no need to send someone down the mountain to deliver messages. This guy is playing dumb with Yue Feng, pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"Yes, a radio! A portable military shortwave radio! Based on the location of the forward base and the surrounding environment, the communication range is at least one hundred kilometers!"
Xiao Er went unnoticed, and during the sleepiest time of the night, the soldiers on guard fell asleep.

Several of us have received training in this area and are proficient in using these military communication devices!

When selecting supplies to carry before departure, I asked my superiors whether to bring a radio. The reply was that the core mission area was less than a day's journey from the nearest village.

If the mission is successfully completed, someone can be sent to the nearest village to deliver a message via the village's landline telephone!

"Huh? That's not as convenient as carrying a radio, is it?" Xiao Tao scratched his head after hearing this explanation, feeling that it didn't make sense.

Number One explained, "My personal guess is that it might be for security reasons! The specific reason is unknown!"

According to Number One, this is understandable.

Jun-ge secretly arranged for Yue-feng to help with this, definitely not wanting anyone else to know. If he brought a radio, it was uncertain whether the relevant information could still be kept secret.

After all, with five elite soldiers as companions, the hunting team's safety in the mountains is guaranteed. In this case, the consideration of secrecy may be even more important.

Yue Feng nodded: "Alright, I understand! We've rested enough, let's continue on our way! Listen to Number One, let's shake off any potential pursuers first!"

Next, another frantic, headlong sprint ensued.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise; you can't argue with that.

The five soldiers were carrying packs weighing dozens of kilograms each, but after several hours of forced marching, they showed no signs of exhaustion.

This frantic run left Yue Feng and Xiao Tao exhausted. Their personal belongings had been taken by several soldiers, and even their weapons were being carried by others. They were basically marching empty-handed, but they still had to stop and start frequently to keep up.

When the sun was high in the sky, around 10 a.m., No. 1 finally stopped for a moment.

"We should shake them off! We can rest for half an hour!"

Yue Feng asked, "Approximately how far have you gone?"

Number One calmly replied, "The straight-line distance is about fifteen kilometers. We walked a long stretch along the old Chaiji Road."

There are no signs of haste along this stretch of road, so if someone were to follow, they would most likely lose track of them!
Instead of walking to the end of the forest before entering, I changed my location beforehand!

"How far is it from the core area?" Yue Feng asked again.

Number One: "The straight-line distance is still about fifteen to eighteen kilometers! In order to shake off the pursuers, I deliberately took a detour!"

If we move a little faster, we should be able to reach our destination before dark!

“Okay! But there’s something. The eagles haven’t been fed since this morning. If we keep traveling, I’m afraid they’ll get too hungry and stop hunting for food!” Yue Feng pointed out a small detail.

"That's easy. Xiao San and Xiao Si, you two go around the area and bring back some meat to feed the eagles. Don't use guns!"

The third and fourth mistresses nodded: "No problem, how much meat is enough?"

Yue Feng replied, "Just enough to fill my stomach, one pheasant should be enough to make me feel more than half full!"

"it is good!"

The two brothers responded, pulled out two rubber slingshots made of wooden forks from their bags, and quickly turned and disappeared into the woods.

In no more than ten minutes, the two mistresses returned.

One person was carrying two sand chickens, and the other was carrying a wild rabbit weighing about three pounds.

"Was that hare also killed with a slingshot?"

Yue Feng was clearly shocked to see that the two brothers had brought back food for the eagles in such a short time, especially a wild rabbit.

Yue Feng could accept using a slingshot to shoot small birds, half-grown chickens, or even pheasants, but using a slingshot to shoot rabbits was clearly beyond his capabilities; the power was insufficient, making it difficult to catch them.

Number Four grinned slightly: "Actually, you can kill a rabbit with a slingshot, but you just need to aim carefully. Behind the ear, one pellet is enough to take it down!"

Yue Feng nodded after listening. No wonder Number One said before that he could survive in the mountains for a long time.

With their efficiency in acquiring prey, they can not only survive for a long time, but also live a life of luxury.

With the eagle food sorted out, Yue Feng didn't waste any more time. He put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.

The next second, two falcons, one black and one white, heard their master's whistle, folded their wings and swooped down from the sky, landing directly on Yue Feng's arm.

This sudden move clearly stunned the soldiers.

"Holy crap, this works? Your eagle is really obedient!"

Number One looked at Yue Feng's two eagles, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Haha, these eagles have become quite intelligent after being raised for a long time! Compared to your skills, this is a piece of cake!"

Yue Feng muttered something modestly, then patted the eagle's head, put the two eagles on the ground, and they quickly started eating.

The two falcons, who had been starving since morning, didn't hold back. They quickly plucked the feathers from their prey and then used their sharp beaks to gnaw on the flesh and bones, making a crunching sound from time to time.

The two sand pheasants were devoured in less than half a minute, with the remaining bones and meatless remains being discarded.

The big black eagle wasn't full, so it looked up at Yue Feng. Yue Feng used his leg to cut open the rabbit's skin, and the big black eagle immediately jumped on it without hesitation and continued to feast.

When Little White Spear saw his boss start eating rabbit, he was a beat behind and followed suit.

Two eagles, facing a rabbit, begin another round of devouring.

By the time the two eagles' crops were bulging, the meaty parts of the rabbit had been mostly eaten away.

“Boss, these two falcons of yours are no ordinary ones! I’ve seen other people’s eagles, and they only eat two or three ounces of meat per meal before they’re full!” Number One shifted his gaze from the big black eagle and took the initiative to discuss it with Yue Feng.

Yue Feng smiled and said, "There are different kinds of eagles. The big eagles you mentioned are usually used to catch rabbits and pheasants! These two eagles of mine are the main force for this trip into the mountains!"

"Huh? Using a falcon to catch a hanging sheep?" Upon hearing this, Number One forgot all about keeping quiet and his eyes were filled with deep confusion.

In Number One's mind, although Yue Feng's two eagles were handsome and slightly larger, they were clearly not qualified to deal with the legendary Hanging Sheep.

To catch a ram, you need at least a large bird of prey like a golden eagle to have any chance!
Yue Feng grinned and touched the bits of meat stuck to the big black eagle's beak hook: "Haha, you'll see when the time comes! There are different ways to kill a pig!"
My eagle has caught roe deer, sika deer, and even red deer more than once or twice in the previous two hunting seasons! Even if it encounters a tiger, it dares to fight!

"Wow, that's awesome! No wonder the boss emphasized that we must obey your commands when he was giving us a pep talk!"

Number One didn't doubt this statement much; on the contrary, he immediately believed it.

After all, a hunter trusted by his superiors must possess unique qualities; otherwise, with several elite soldiers like them, there would be no need to specifically trouble Yue Feng. (End of Chapter)
