Chapter 1056: Food-Induced Failure

The next day, Liu Jintang did not take action.

All the students are spiritual.

Since the students eat only half of the original food in a day, try to reduce the speed of food digestion and delay more time by minimizing exercise. At the same time, because Liu Jintang has not yet come up with a way to solve Grant without attacking head-on, after all, there is no gun, and the two sides can only fight hand-to-hand after getting closer.

If there is a gun in his hand, Liu Jintang will let the students under his command raid and surround Grant, and it will be easy to achieve the goal. But with only daggers, shovels and other tools in his hands, it is impossible to surround Grant and complete it.

Liu Jintang only sent someone to keep an eye on Grant and prevent Grant from disappearing from sight.

After nightfall, Liu Jintang closed his eyes and took a nap.

The platoon commander John came to Liu Jintang's side, squatted down, and said in a low voice: "Brigade commander, after a day's rest, the students under my command have already recovered their spirits and can continue to attack." ”

The third platoon commander, Joseph, came over and said, "Brigade commander, it's time for us to go." ”

Robert, the leader of the second platoon, hurriedly said: "In terms of order, it should also be the second platoon." ”

Liu Jintang shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Don't harass Grant tonight, stay and rest." Grant is already on guard, and may even set a trap for you, so it's not much use to go. Besides, if Grant thinks that our people will attack him, he must be on the alert, and he will not be able to rest well no matter what. ”

John nodded, but regretted that if he could continue to disturb him, it would be comfortable.

Robert changed his words and said solemnly: "Brigade commander, because one day's food is divided into two days. Yesterday the brethren were able to bear it, after all, they had eaten well before they came. But half of the food that was supported today is now hungry. ”

Liu Jintang's expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word: "It's just that the rations have been reduced by half, and you haven't eaten for a day, can't you stand it?" If anyone is not convinced, they can come and talk to me, and I will educate him well. People who can't persist in this difficulty, get out of here as soon as possible, I don't look down on such people. ”

"Understood!"

Robert smirked, never daring to mention it again.

Joseph, the leader of the third platoon, said: "Although we are a little hungry for the time being, think about the cadets under Grant's command. After today, they only have one day's worth of food left. After tomorrow, Grant's people will face the problem of food. However, we still have four days of food, and it will be much easier to defeat Grant by then. ”

Liu Jintang nodded, a smile on his face.

He looked at the first platoon leader, Robert, the second platoon leader, and the third platoon leader, Joseph, and whispered, "When Grant's men run out of food, they will definitely separate." When the time comes, we'll do it...... As long as Grant's people are scattered, they will be hit. The three of you platoons can make meritorious contributions and win this confrontation. ”

"Yes!"

The three of them should get down, and they were very excited.

They don't have a food crisis, because there is still food, and Grant is different.

……

Military Academy, Meeting Room.

Li Zhen, Lincoln, and Drafield gathered together again, listening to the news that had come back from the front.

Drafield sighed lightly, scratched his head and said, "Today is the third day of the battle, and after today, the people led by Grant and Brigade Commander Liu will have no dry food, and the battle will be even more fierce." I don't know, what is the situation on both sides? ”

Li Zhen said: "Grant is in danger, and the victory or defeat will come out soon." ”

Lincoln frowned and asked, "President Lee, where do you get your confidence?" ”

Delafeld looked like the winner was undecided, and said seriously: "I also think that the outcome is undecided, not necessarily Liu Jintang wins, it is likely that Grant wins." After all, Grant had been to the mountains and was familiar with the situation. ”

Li Zhen was calm and calm, and said: "Wait and see!" ”

……

Three days passed in a flash.

By this day, Grant's cadets had run out of food and had run out of water.

"Colonel Grant, there is no food and water now, what should I do?" One of the trainees asked.

Grant thought for a moment and said, "The scope of this battle is ten miles, so we must find sufficient water sources within ten miles. Similarly, the people under Liu Jintang face the same problem, they also look for water and food. During this period, there will definitely be an opportunity to annihilate the other side, and we must seize it. ”

"Mr. Colonel, how do you divide the personnel?"

"Twenty people in a group of five," Grant said. Of these, 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 of each other and not too far apart. Once you encounter the students under Liu Jintang's command, if the number of the other party is small, they will be annihilated immediately. If there are many people on the other side, immediately approach nearby teammates and combine the forces of two or even three groups to annihilate the opponent's living force. ”

Immediately, Grant assigned his men to his command.

In the evening, Grant's men gathered, and after the count, everyone was disappointed, because there was not much prey hunted, not enough for a hundred people to eat.

On the fourth day, Grant once again assigned his men.

At the same time, Grant also goes hunting.

To this day, the students under Grant's command are a little sluggish, after all, they have not rested well in the field, and they are still hungry, which is very uncomfortable. Grant could only encourage as much as possible to stabilize morale. Fortunately, the assigned trainees found a water source and hunted a few animals, but because of the cold weather, there were few prey, and the prey they hunted was also more monks and less porridge.

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 did not move, as if they had disappeared. Gran couldn't care so much, he thought that Liu Jintang's people were also hungry and looking for food, but the people on both sides hadn't met yet.

Day 5, noon.

Grant's men arrived at the time of assembly, but the men did not arrive.

There is one less group of hunters, and one less group of people searching for water, for a total of two groups of people. Grant sensed a hint of an unusual smell, and it seemed that Liu Jintang had started to do something. In the first four days, Liu Jintang had not moved, but now there were suddenly two groups of forty people, almost half of the personnel, which made Grant nervous.

Grant thought about it, maybe there was a conflict, so he didn't rush back. Immediately, Grant ordered a group of people to disperse to find out the news, but after this group went out, it was mud cows into the sea again.

As a result, there were only forty people left with Grant.

Even if the personnel of the two sides are hard-hitting, Grant will definitely lose.

Grant did not give up, gathered forty people, and never dispersed again, fearing that there would be another problem. For the rest of the day, nothing was out of the ordinary, and the day passed, and Grant fell asleep exhausted. In the middle of the night, when Grant was asleep, Liu Jintang took the student to touch him, and with a violent impact, he directly broke up Grant's people and grabbed Grant.

Liu Jintang smiled and said, "Colonel Grant, you lost!" ”
