The 72nd Brigade was besieged on a high ground of more than 300 meters in the lower section of the Nandu River. On the right is a continuous primitive jungle, and on the left is a rushing river water. There are enemies in front and behind. The encirclement has been shortened to a range of three kilometers. The only way out is to run south along the river bank, but that position has been aimed at by the artillery regiment of the Third Division. As long as the Japanese moves, they will be immediately bombarded with raindrops.

In less than a week, their military rations were at their bottom. The Japanese had to pick things from the dead. Even everything that could be eaten on the mountain was turned over. However, where can I find food on this few kilometers of mountain tops that could keep thousands of people eating and drinking?

More than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were not treated with medicine, and their wounds gradually began to become suppurated and infected. The high fever did not subside. Almost every day, many seriously injured people lost their lives due to the worsening of their injuries. The siege continued, and the Chinese were not in a hurry to attack, with the purpose of consuming them to death.

The fear of death gradually spread in the hearts of many people. Under the infection of this emotion, the morale of the Japanese army fell to the bottom, and they could no longer see any hope.

...

The brigade commander Chiba Shibuki, with a samurai sword in his hand, sat upright on a large stone and listened quietly to the communications soldier's report.

"Report to the commander of the brigade, the Guangkou United and the Beicun United have arrived in the Nauna area, which is still 30 kilometers away from us. However, the Chinese people set up an ambush halfway. They were unable to make a tunnel for several days when they fought. The Guangkou United had to retreat fifteen kilometers due to the great casualties."

"Commander Matsusaka's telegram ordered us to hold our position and wait for support. Mandalay has organized a second reinforcement force. The 4th Fifth Division, which came from Siam, will arrive on the battlefield soon. Then it will be the day to counterattack..."

Chiba Shibingwei, who was originally worried, sneered, glanced at the south, and said to himself: "Counterattack? These red deer are so light! You still want to bloom in the center, so what are you going to fight back now?"

"Qianyejun, haven't the reinforcements sent from Siam too? As long as we hold on, we should..."

The Chief of Staff comforted softly, but he saw the soldiers who were hungry and pale and thin, and he became less confident as he spoke.

"How to persist? The Fifth Division is now a recruit, and you are not unaware of the virtues of the Fourth Division. I hope those healthy red deer who are kept silent come to support us? I'm afraid they will collect the corpses!"

The Ten-Shibition of Qianye soldiers came to the scene without fighting. Can't we explain the situation at the moment? From the attitude of the reinforcements, we can see that the superiors probably wanted to give up on them, and they were basically dead ends.

Now the troops are frugal and each person only eats one meal a day, but even so, the last surplus grain can only last for another 3 days. The soldiers were so hungry that they began to look for wild vegetable roots all over the mountains to fill their hunger. If they didn't break through, they would probably not even have the strength to peel the bark in the end.

Thinking of this, Shibingwei Chiba couldn't sit still, so he stood up and looked around. The soldiers who were so hungry that they were starving at him with expressionless faces, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.

You can't sit still and wait for death, otherwise everyone will die!

"Enjoy all the food, let them have a full meal at night, and then all of them will break through in the middle of the night."

Chiba Shibingwei made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said immediately.

"Qianye Jun..."

The Chief of Staff wanted to speak but stopped. He knew very well that if he did this, more than half of the people would die on the way to break through.

"How much can you run is better than staying here to starve to death!"

Chiba Shibingwei was unmoved and insisted on his opinion: "The 326th Regiment broke eastward, and the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters left the southwest along the river bank, and the 327th Regiment... went south, and they took the lead in the attack!"

Going south is the fastest route to retreat to Mandalay, and it is also the position where the Chinese are heavily guarding. The reason why Qianye arranged this way is because most of the 327th Regiment is wounded and the losses are the most heavy, so they broke through the south... To put it bluntly, it is just to attract firepower to cover the large army.

In the current situation, surviving by cutting off the tail is a last resort. In order for the large army to break through as much as possible, only a part of the people can be sacrificed.

Chiba Shibuwei pulled out the samurai sword and looked at the shaking sword god and fell into deep thought. Even if he did this, the entire brigade could successfully break through.

"Brig Commander..."

"Execute the order, everyone will throw away the useless debris and prepare. May God Amaterasu bless you tonight, and you all! The martial arts fortune will last forever!"

"Hi! Wu Yun will last forever!"

...

On the other side, on the front line of the 200th Division, Gao Jiren and Long Weng were patrolling the front line with the guards. The two were sitting in the jeep talking and laughing, discussing some arms affairs.

"Old Gao, the Japanese have been hungry for five or six days, right?"

"Yes, I just spent half a month today, hehe, I'm going to say that... I'll just do it. Don't be cowardly with these melons." Gao Jiren said carelessly, wanting to destroy the Japanese on the opposite side.

"No hurry, they can't help but come out and let the troops be prepared, especially at night, hum... I have to wait for these grandsons to fall into the trap!" Long Weng smiled treacherously. At least there were several ways to kill the Japanese in his mind.

"That's fine, but then you have to give the power of the front line to the main attacker and let Xiaozi fight. Those Japanese are all right!" Gao Jiren replied indifferently, and even joked casually.

If we talk about the war with the Japanese since joining the army for so many years, this is the first time he has been so happy. All of this starts with his joining Liao Mingyu's command.

Although the 200th Division is a first-class elite unit in China, it is still quite difficult to fight with the Japanese army. The exchange ratio can only be said to be relatively close, so how can it crush the opponent like now?

"It's so good, so good... it's all you." Long Weng laughed in Shaanxi dialect, but his eyes gradually looked away.

Looking at the lush mountain covered with big trees, a playful smile appeared on his face. Thinking from the perspective of others, if his Japanese were besieged for half a month, without food and reinforcements, it would be time to fight to the death.

...

At around three o'clock in the morning, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no trace of moonlight tonight. Unlike the noisy sound of cannon fire during the day, the ground was silent and terrifyingly quiet.

Under this quiet jungle, a group of figures were moving quietly, and countless Japanese soldiers were pressing their steps and carefully touching them from the mountain.

"Stop!"
