Since the students eat only half of the original food in a day, reducing exercise as much as possible can slow down the speed of food digestion and delay it for more time. At the same time, because Liu Jintang has not yet figured out a way to solve Grant without a frontal attack. After all, there are no guns, so the two sides can only fight hand-to-hand when they get close.
If Liu Jintang had a gun in his hand and asked his students to make a surprise attack and surround Grant, he could easily achieve his goal. But with only daggers, shovels and other tools in his hand, it was impossible to surround Grant and complete it.
Liu Jintang only sent people to keep an eye on Grant to prevent him from disappearing from sight.
After nightfall, Liu Jintang closed his eyes and took a nap.
Platoon leader John came to Liu Jintang, squatted down, and whispered: "Brigade commander, after a day of rest, the students under my command have recovered their spirits and can continue to harass."
Joseph, the third platoon leader, came over and said, "Brigadier, it's time for us to go."
Robert, the leader of the second platoon, said quickly: "In terms of order, it should be the second platoon."
Liu Jintang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Don't harass Grant tonight, stay and rest. Grant has already taken precautions and may even set a trap for you. It won't be of much use. Besides, if Grant thinks our people will If he goes to harass him, he will definitely put people on guard. No matter what, it will be difficult for him to rest well."
John nodded, but felt quite regretful. It would be more comfortable if he could continue to harass.
Robert changed the subject and said seriously: "Brigadier, because one day's food was divided into two days, the brothers could still bear it yesterday. After all, they were full before coming here, but today they supported half of the food, and now they are all hungry. of."
Liu Jintang's expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word: "It's just a half reduction in rations. I haven't left you without food for a day. Isn't this unbearable? If anyone is not convinced, you can come and talk to me, and I will take care of you." Educate him carefully. Anyone who can't endure this difficulty should get out of here as soon as possible. I look down on such people."
"clear."
Robert smiled and did not dare to mention this matter again.
Third platoon leader Joseph said: "Although we are a little hungry for the time being, think about Grant's students. After today, they will only have one day of food left. After tomorrow, Grant's people will face food problems, but , we still have four days of food, and it will be much easier to defeat Grant by then."
Liu Jintang nodded, with a smile on his face.
He looked at John, the leader of the first platoon, Robert, the leader of the second platoon, and Joseph, the leader of the third platoon, and whispered: "When Grant's people run out of food, they will definitely separate. When the time comes, we will do this... as long as Grant's If people are scattered, they will definitely be attacked. You three platoons can make meritorious deeds and win this confrontation."
"yes."
The three of them responded, extremely excited.
They did not have a food crisis because they still had food, but Grant was different.
…
Military academy, reception room.
Li Zhen, Lincoln, and Delafield gathered together again to listen to the news from the front.
Delafield sighed softly, scratched his head and said: "Today is already the third day of the battle. After today, the people led by Grant and Brigadier Liu will have no dry food. The battle will be more fierce. I don't know what the situation will be like on both sides. Sample."
Li Zhen said: "Grant is in danger, and the outcome will be determined soon."
Lincoln frowned and asked: "President Lee, where do you get your confidence?"
Delafield looked like the outcome was undecided, and said seriously: "I also think the outcome is undecided. It may not necessarily be Liu Jintang who wins, but it may be Grant who wins. After all, Grant has been to the mountains and is familiar with the situation."
Li Zhen calmly said: "We'll see."
…
Three days passed by in a flash.
By this day, Grant's students had no food and the water they brought had been used up.
"Colonel Grant, what should we do now that we have no food and water?" a student asked.
Grant thought for a moment and said: "The scope of this battle is ten miles in radius, so we must find sufficient water sources within ten miles. Similarly, the people under Liu Jintang's command also face the same problem. They will also look for water sources and food. During this period , there will definitely be an opportunity to annihilate the opponent, and we must seize it."
"Mr. Colonel, how do we divide the personnel?"
Grant said: "Twenty people are divided into five groups. Among them, two groups are responsible for finding water sources, and the remaining three groups are responsible for finding food. Remember, each group must be kept within two miles. , cannot be too far apart. Once you encounter the students under Liu Jintang's command, if the opponent's number is small, annihilate them immediately. If the opponent's number is large, immediately approach the nearby teammates, combine the power of two or even three groups, and annihilate the opponent's effective strength. "
Immediately, Grant dispatched his men.
In the evening, Grant's men gathered together. After counting, everyone was extremely disappointed because the prey captured was not much, not enough to feed a hundred people.
On the fourth day, Grant once again assigned his men.
At the same time, Grant also went hunting.
To this day, the students under Grant's command are a little depressed. After all, they did not have a good rest in the field and were still hungry. They are very uncomfortable. Grant can only try his best to encourage and stabilize morale. Fortunately, the students who were sent out found the water source. We also hunted a few animals, but because of the cold weather and the lack of prey, we also had a lot of prey.
At the end of the day, the students were still hungry and their spirits were getting worse and worse.
During this period, Liu Jintang's people were silent and seemed to have disappeared. Granger couldn't care less. He thought that Liu Jintang's people were also hungry and looking for food, but the people on both sides had not met yet.
Day five, noon.
It was time for Grant's men to assemble, but not all of them arrived.
There was one less group of hunting people, and one less group of people searching for water sources. Two groups of people were missing in total. Grant noticed an unusual smell, and it seemed that Liu Jintang had started to take action. Liu Jintang had been silent for the past four days, and now Suddenly two groups of forty people were missing, almost half of the personnel were missing, which made Grant feel nervous.
Grant then thought that there might have been a conflict that prevented him from rushing back. Immediately, Grant ordered a group of people to disperse to find out the news. However, after this group of people went out, they were confused again.
Thus, Grant only had forty people left.
Even if the personnel of both sides were to go head-to-head, Grant would definitely lose.
Grant did not give up, and gathered forty people together and never dispersed again, fearing that problems would arise again. Nothing unusual happened in the following time. After the day passed, Grant fell asleep exhausted, and late at night, When Grant was sleeping, Liu Jintang and his students approached him. With a violent impact, Grant's men were dispersed and Grant was captured.
Liu Jintang said with a smile on his face: "Colonel Grant, you lost."
