My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 444
The 72nd Brigade was besieged on a highland of more than 300 meters in the lower reaches of the Nandu River. On the right was an endless virgin forest, and on the left was a rushing river. There were enemies in front and behind. The encirclement had been shortened to a range of three kilometers. The only way out was to run south along the river bank, but that position had long been targeted by the Artillery Regiment of the Third Division, and as long as the Japanese made a slight move, they would immediately be bombarded like raindrops.

In less than a week, their rations had bottomed out, and the little devil had to pick things from the dead, and even searched all the edible food on the mountain. It's just that where on the top of the mountain that is only a few kilometers away can they find something that can sustain thousands of dollars? People eat and drink food.

More than 1000 wounded soldiers of the Japanese army could not receive medical treatment. The wounds gradually began to suppurate and infect, and the high fever persisted. Almost every day, many seriously wounded lost their lives due to the deterioration of their injuries.The siege is still going on, and the Huaxia people are not in a hurry to attack, the purpose is to consume them to death.

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

……

The head of the brigade, Chiba Jubei, with a samurai sword in his hand, sat on a big rock and listened quietly to the report of the communicator.

"Reporting to the head of the brigade, the Guangkou Regiment and the Beicun Regiment have arrived in the Naona area, 30 kilometers away from us, but the Huaxia people set up an ambush halfway, and they have been fighting for several days. If it is too big, I have to retreat fifteen kilometers."

"Commander Matsusaka ordered us to hold our ground and wait for support. Mandalay has organized a second reinforcement force. The Fourth and Fifth Divisions from Siam will arrive on the battlefield in a few days. By then The day of counterattack..."

Chiba Shibingwei, who was originally sad, sneered instead, glanced to the south, and said sarcastically to himself: "Counterattack? These red deer said it lightly! They still want to bloom in the center, so what are they going to do now?"

"Qianye-kun, didn't Siam also call in reinforcements, as long as we hold on, we should..."

The chief of staff comforted him softly, but seeing the hungry and emaciated soldiers around him, he became less confident as he spoke.

"How do you persist? The Fifth Division is just a new recruit now, and you don't know the virtues of the Fourth Division. You expect those healthy red deer to come to support you? I'm afraid they will collect the corpses for us!"

The Chiba Ten Soldiers didn't attack one place, so couldn't they explain the situation right now?From the attitude of the reinforcements, it can be seen that the higher-ups probably want to give up on them, and they are basically at a dead end.

Now the army is frugal, and everyone only eats one meal a day, but even so, the last remaining food can only last for another 3 days. The soldiers are so hungry that they start looking for wild vegetables and roots all over the mountains and plains. If they don’t break through, they may end up peeling the bark I have no strength left.

Thinking of this, Chiba Jubingwei couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked around. The hungry soldiers with sunken eyes looked at him expressionlessly, their eyes full of fear and confusion.

We can no longer sit still, or everyone will die!

"Even all the food, let them have a full meal in the evening, and in the middle of the night, they all disperse and break through."

Chiba Jubingwei put his heart on the line, gritted his teeth and said immediately.

"Chiba-kun..."

The chief of staff hesitated to speak, he knew very well that half of the people would die on the way out of the siege if he did so.

"As much as you can run, it's better than staying here and starving to death!"

Chiba Jubingwei remained unmoved and insisted on his own opinion: "The 326th Regiment broke through to the east, the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters left from the southwest along the river bank, and the 327th Regiment... went south, and they took the lead in launching the attack !"

Going south is the fastest route back to Mandalay, and it is also a position heavily guarded by the Huaxia people. The reason why Chiba arranged this is because most of the 327th Regiment were wounded and suffered the heaviest losses. Let them go south to break through... To put it bluntly The only thing is to attract firepower to cover the large troops.

In the current situation, cutting off the tail to survive is also a last resort. In order for the large army to break out as much as possible, only a part of them can be sacrificed.

Chiba Jubingwei drew out his samurai sword, looked at the shining sword god and fell into deep thought, even if he did so, the whole brigade might be able to break through the encirclement successfully, perhaps very few.

"Brigade Leader..."

"Execute the order, everyone get ready to throw away the useless debris, and may God Amaterasu bless you tonight, gentlemen! Martial luck lasts forever!"

"Hey! Martial luck lasts forever!"

……

On the other side, on the forward position of the 200th Division, Gao Jiren and Long Wenwen were patrolling the front line with their guards. The two sat in the jeep talking and laughing, discussing some military affairs.

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

"Yeah, counting today it's just been around for half a month, hehe, let's talk about it... just fuck it, don't mess with this group of melons." Gaoji said carelessly, wanting to put those people on the opposite side very much. The little devil was wiped out.

"Don't worry, they will take the initiative to come out if they can't hold back, let the troops take precautions, especially at night, hmph... I will wait for these grandsons to fall into the trap!" Long Wenwen smiled wickedly, at least he had good things in his mind. Several ways to play the dead little devil.

"That's fine, but when the time comes, you have to give the front line the main attack and let Chen boy take the lead. Those Japanese are all good!" Gao Ji replied indifferently, and joked casually
To say that after joining the army, he has fought with the little devil for so many years, and this is the first time he has been able to enjoy himself so freely. It all started when he joined Liao Mingyu's command.

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

"It's very good, it's very good...it's all you." Long Wenwen said with a smile, learning Shaanxi dialect, but his eyes gradually looked away.

Looking at the lush hill covered by big trees, a playful smile appeared on his face.Think about it in another way, if your own Japanese were besieged for half a month without food or reinforcements, it would be time to go all out by now.

……

At around three o'clock in the morning, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no moonlight tonight. Unlike the noisy artillery fire during the day, the land at this time was silent and eerily quiet.

Under this silent jungle, there was a group of figures moving quietly, and countless little devils pressed their feet and cautiously came down from the mountain.

"Stop!"

Chiba Juhei looked at the watch on his hand, it was seventeen past three...

In front is the east bank of the Nandu River. Many Japanese soldiers couldn’t help becoming restless when they saw it, because as long as they walked south along the river bank for about ten kilometers, they could cross the river westward and enter the Mandalay area without ever escaping. .

The opposite bank is where the Huaxia artillery is deployed. The reason why they didn't put the artillery on the east bank is because they are worried that the distance here is too close to the original brigade position.

It seems that the east bank is the weakest part of the encirclement, but if all of our own sides break out from here, the east bank will instantly become the killing zone of the opponent's artillery, and the Chinese army blocking the road in the south can completely encircle it. Ye believes that the enemy on the other side can also cross the river to attack at any time.

At that time, the price of fighting will be high. If you lose the cover of the hilltop position and fight the enemy in such a flat area, the probability of being re-encircled is too high, or you will be completely wiped out.

That's why Chiba Ten Soldiers chose the routine of attacking east and west, making the illusion that the large troops broke out to the south and southeast, while he and the brigade head waited here quietly, taking advantage of the other party's attention to be fully attracted, and then from here to West fled.

According to the plan, at 327:326, the 10th Wing will take the lead in opening fire in the south to attract enemy firepower, and the [-]th Wing will break through in the other direction [-] minutes later.After they all exchange fire with the Huaxia people, the brigade can act directly under the brigade.

"Qianye-kun, it's already 25:[-], why is there still no movement over there?" The chief of staff stared at the night sky in the south, always feeling that something bad would happen.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, let the people below calm down." Chiba Shibingwei ordered calmly, but his palms were sweating, obviously very uneasy.

boom!boom!
Several explosions suddenly came from a distance, followed by rapid and noisy gunshots, and finally the south side was on fire.

Qianye finally breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the hands of the watch, and began to count the time.

The battle in the south broke the silence of the night. The defensive positions of the three regiments were filled with flames, and several flares were fired into the air. In an instant, a large area below was as bright as day.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

"what!"

puff...

I saw hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushing towards the defense line without regard for their lives. They seemed to have forgotten life and death, and there was a smell of burning jade and stone. Afraid of death, he rushed into the trench and pulled the fuse, just to pull a few enemies to die together.

"Don't panic, don't get entangled with each other! Quickly leave the forward position and make room for the machine gunner behind!"

On the ground, the platoon leader loudly issued instructions to his subordinates, and at the same time, he did not stop his movements. The submachine gun kept spraying fire snakes, sweeping down the little devils who rushed over one by one.

"Onboard!"

A Japanese soldier sneaked up nearby, saw the opportunity, jumped up, and strangled the upper body of the platoon leader.

"Ah!?" The platoon leader turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to break free from the opponent, he heard a creepy puff.

This little devil was holding a grenade in his hand, and pressed it tightly against the platoon leader's chest. The grenade was still emitting green smoke. Life for life.

At this moment, the platoon leader could no longer hesitate for a moment. He dropped the submachine gun, grabbed the opponent's arm with his backhand, and pressed the little devil to the ground with force under his legs.

"The platoon leader!"

boom! !

At this last moment, a flash of determination flashed in the platoon leader's eyes, he could only make these few actions in just a few seconds, before he even had time to speak, the grenade exploded between the two of them!

The huge kinetic energy blasted the two of them into a bloody mess, and the platoon leader's body was even blown upside down. Fortunately, it exploded in the trench, and the shrapnel did not have much impact on other soldiers around.

This tragic scene made people cry. The soldiers in the platoon didn't care about the sadness, and quickly retreated according to the order of their commander.

On the defensive line, the soldiers of the three regiments were indeed a little overwhelmed by the suicide attack, but they did not retreat, but quickly stabilized the front line under the command of their respective officers, and taught the little devils a lesson with the weapons in their hands .
