Blitzkrieg, also known as lightning war, was a tactic used by Germany during World War II, created by the famous German General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian.
It fully utilized the fast advantages of aircraft, tanks, and chanized troops, achieving victory through surprise attacks, and aid to rapidly cut through enemy lines to reach the anticipated effect.
Its core elents were speed, surprise, and concentration.
It was both strategy and tactics.
Strategically, it was holistic and globally coordinated; tactically, it was ingeniously unique and highly adaptable.
Nature's alpha wolf could not possibly explain the essence of this tactic to its pack by scraping a blackboard with claws, but solely through instinct, it excelled in achieving this goal, maneuvering among the cals, using its smaller size and agility to try to isolate the smallest cal.
This bears an uncanny resemblance to Blitzkrieg.
Although this particular cal was clearly not fully grown and quite smaller, it still weighed several hundred kilograms, enough to provide a feast for these dozen or so African wolves, sparing them from hunting for at least a few days, and possibly even helping to unite a larger wolf pack, creating a war advantage.
"In 2012, also in the Sahara Desert of Africa, 12 African wolves launched a 'Blitzkrieg' against five cals, employing a divide and conquer tactic, successfully separating a young cal from the flock."
"Adult wild cals are tough to deal with, so when wolf packs hunt, they target the recently postpartum mother cals and the young calves."
"The survival rate of young cals in the wild in ngxin territory is less than 10%, precisely because they are preyed upon by packs of wolves."
"Mother cals that have recently given birth must live near water sources on the edge of the desert, leaving them unable to seek refuge in the vast desert from predators, resulting in low defense capabilities and frequently becoming targets for wolves."
"In such situations, when mother cals are alard, they lack the strength to resist and often can only abandon their young to escape, although sotis there are instances of a cal drawing the wolves away to protect the whole herd."
[Indeed, there are differences among cals.]
[Animals too can be great.]
Perhaps due to their nature, but as a professional, Bi Fang felt more that this was the herd instinct of these creatures coming into play.
When facing danger, in order to better ensure the survival of the species, wild animals strive to minimize harm, even if it ans sacrificing themselves.
Bi Fang kept a close watch on the wolf pack, observing the struggle as if witnessing a highly technical, professional hunt.
These animals, guided purely by instinct, had beco outstanding tacticians; it was truly awe-inspiring.
"Now there are more wolves, and with only three targets, there's no reason not to attack, and the Desert Wolf is the only predator group that can pose a threat to cals."
"Of course, desert lions as well, but those are in South Africa and there are only about a hundred of them; we won't encounter them."
Cals are virtually perfect creatures with powerful attacks, terrifying speed, and biting power.
Their defense is just as strong with thick fur and tough skin, reminiscent of natural armor; ordinary animal teeth can hardly pierce it, unable to inflict serious harm.
Moreover, cals primarily inhabit desert and gobi areas—environnts that are extrely harsh and relatively devoid of water and vegetation, so places even lacking grass.
In such harsh environnts, only cals can adapt, and large carnivores rarely venture there due to the lack of a supporting food chain at the lowest level; the desert is hell for them. Hence, it's rare to find carcasses of cals that have been preyed upon in the wild, making Bi Fang all the more interested in lying down to observe.
Moreover, he had no intention of interfering with this natural phenonon and was even interested in acting as a comntator on the battlefield.
"One interesting point is that African wolves are generally nocturnal, but sotis they are also active during the day. After all, the Sahara Desert is too barren; for the sake of food, they can't be concerned with their habits, showing a sort of corporate worker's deanor."
[For the sake of food, it's so realistic.]
[Talking about it brings tears to my eyes.]
[Continuous shifts, rotating doubles, must be overti madness, right?]
"I volunteer for work (ignore the handcuffs on my hands)."
At this mont, the Desert Wolves were still trying to isolate a young cal. After just over a minute, the largest male cal started to grow restless, suddenly opened its mouth, but instead of trying to bite the Desert Wolves, it violently spewed out a large amount of yellow, viscid substance.
This action ca without warning, and one of the Desert Wolves couldn't dodge in ti, getting drenched from head to toe in the yellow-white sticky substance.
Luckily, Bi Fang was a hundred ters away at that mont. Had he been a bit closer, perhaps he would have been able to sll that intense, soul-penetrating stench of rot.
Even though he didn't actually sll it, Bi Fang felt as if the stench were filling his nostrils, and he explained, buzzing his nose:
"This is a defense chanism of cals, by spitting out partially digested food from their stomachs, they emit a strong stench of rot to drive off enemies."
"Oh! (A robust man shakes his head)"
"This is a biological weapon!"
"Although it's sowhat dishonorable, the effect is very good."
The Desert Wolf that got drenched couldn't bear such an intense sll. With their keen sense of sll, the odor went straight to the brain, and the wolf imdiately beca dizzy. Seizing the opportunity, the cal bit the wolf's head.
By this ti, two small drones had already approached the battlefield, and everyone clearly heard the sound of bones breaking. Eventually, the cal twisted its neck snake-like and violently threw the Desert Wolf aside, where it tumbled across the ground kicking up dust and sand, before lying still.
This sudden turnaround seed to signal that the battle had entered an intensely heated phase.
The Desert Wolves no longer used continuous interweaving intimidation but sporadically coupled their assaults with bites or claw scratches. Several of them leaped, attempting to attack the young cal's hindquarters, but the large cals provided good protection.
"Desert Wolves are very adept at ambush tactics and like to use pack hunting to attack cals. Through fearless attacks, they exhaust the cals' stamina, and they even adopt the hyena's tactic of targeting the anus, attacking the cal's vulnerabilities, rendering it defenseless."
No matter how fierce the cals fought, they could not withstand the wolves' siege. Their stamina was limited, and the pack of wolves was relentless until, finally, the young cal couldn't take it anymore and took advantage of a breach in the defense line to run straight out!
Done for!
Now, without Bi Fang's comntary, the audience knew what was going to happen next.
With the young cal's escape, the pack beca thoroughly excited and ran wildly after it. Without the protection of the adult cals, the young one had no idea how to defend itself and was quickly covered in Desert Wolves, followed by its fur becoming stained red.
"Too tender,"
sighed Bi Fang.
Before the adult cals behind him could catch up, the young one had already collapsed, powerless to get back up.
At this point, there was no need for a rescue.
Even after the two adult cals caught up, the wolves simply scattered, not entangling themselves with them further, pacing around the cals.
The young cal was already a al on the plate, no rush for the mont.
Once the adult cals had accepted reality, the alpha wolf gave the signal, and they attacked again. This ti, the two cals did not stand their ground but fled towards the distance, while the pack began to enjoy the hard-earned feast, sending out excited howls of joy.
"All right, it's our turn now,"
said Bi Fang, getting up from the ground and following in the direction the cals had fled.
Speaking of which, it might be devious, but Bi Fang was prepared to launch an attack while the cals were still recovering.
"Wu Hu, ready to scrape up the leftovers"
"To be honest, at first, I thought Old Fang was going to rescue the family of cals, and then in gratitude, they'd willingly submit to the reins."
"Read fewer novels."
