Night was about to fall, and Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the Korean army battalion stationed in the military fortress in Xiajieyuli, after eating the large bowl of white rice that had been distributed to him, only took a few bites of a bottle of canned beef in his hand, and did not continue to eat, but sealed the lid and prepared to stay on his body for a rainy day.

Because after eating that bowl of rice, he received a notice from the logistics quartermaster of a regiment of the US army, who was also stationed in Xiajieyuli, that is, starting tomorrow morning, all of them should be prepared to go hungry, and all the food has been eaten.

You must know that even the soldiers of the US regiment have nothing to eat, let alone the soldiers of the South Korean army in their battalion, so they can only starve.

As soon as the logistics quartermaster of the US Legion informed him of the news, Lee Doo-hyun was alone in his barracks, eating canned beef with relish, and suddenly he felt tasteless and tasted like chewing wax.

After seeing off the logistics quartermaster of the American Legion, Lee Doo-hyun was in no mood to continue eating, but froze in place for about ten minutes before turning around and sealing the lid on the canned beef that he had just eaten a few bites of, and putting it in the pocket on the side of his pants.

At this moment, Lee Doo-hyun heard the sound of footsteps from far and near outside the barracks where he lived, and when he turned around and looked at the door of the barracks, he saw that Kim Sung-gi had not knocked on the door, so he walked in in a hurry.

"Battalion commander, have you been notified? I have heard that the Yankees have given our camp an ultimatum today, saying that the food rations for this military fortress called Xiajieyu that we are stationed have run out, and that from tomorrow morning, all the people in our camp will be hungry here. Kim Sung-gi walked up to Lee Doo-hyun and immediately said in an angry tone.

After listening to the impassioned statement of the combat staff officer Kim Sung-ki, Li Doo-hyun, as the battalion commander, sighed lightly, patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and said: "Alas, Sung-ki-kun, don't be so angry, this is also a helpless thing, even a regiment of the US army has nothing to eat, and the soldiers of our battalion naturally won't eat anything, and if you want to be hungry, the big guys are hungry together, what do you have to be angry about." ”

When Lee Doo-hyun said the above words, Kim Sung-gi muttered in a low voice: "It would be good if it was really said to the Yankees, I'm afraid that the Yankees Ruyi said this to the outside world, so that we will not have a big protest about starving and having nothing to eat from tomorrow, and the Yankees must have something to eat, the Americans have a strong logistics supply system, how can they make the American soldiers who come from afar to fight have nothing to eat, even if there is nothing to eat for a meal, it is impossible." ”

Lee Doo-hyun didn't hear these words that Kim Sung-gi whispered, so naturally he didn't know what he was talking about, and after sending Kim Sung-ki, who came to complain to him, out of the barracks, Lee Doo-hyun closed the door of the barracks and prepared to lie down on the bed to sleep.

Although the strength of a battalion of their South Korean army came to help defend the military fortress of Xiajieyuli, after they came here, they did not do anything for a few days, and they only slept except eating and drinking every day.

Whether it was responsible for the defense or vigilance of Xiajiayuli, it was all left to the soldiers of the US army, and there was nothing to do with the ROK troops of their battalion.

Of course, as the battalion commander, Li Doo-hyun had already tasted the bitterness of fighting with their enemy, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and their South Korean army, not to mention a battalion, was the strength of a regiment, and to deal with a company of volunteers, it was not anyone's opponent at all.

If it weren't for being a professional soldier, Lee Doo-hyun would have wanted to escape from the battle a long time ago, but his only stumbling block was the temperament and daughter who were detained in Hancheng, and for the sake of the safety of the lives of the two of them, he had no choice but to continue to serve in the Korean army.

At about seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Doo-hyun was still awakened by the sound of "clang" slamming on the door, yes, it was not a knock on the door, but a slam on the door, and there were still dozens of fists slamming the closed door of the barracks where Lee Doo-hyun lived.

Lee Doo-hyun, who was woken up, thought something was wrong, and he slept in his clothes, put on military boots, got out of bed in a daze, and yawned while opening the door of the barracks from the inside.

"It's early in the morning, what is the noise, I haven't woken up yet, why are you slamming the door of my barracks with so much force?" After opening the door of the barracks from the inside, Lee Doo-hyun first rubbed his sleepy eyes, and after seeing that the people standing outside the door were more than 20 Korean soldiers under him, he asked angrily.

Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer who took the lead, immediately complained to him loudly: "Battalion commander, we were deceived by that group of Yankees yesterday, and the rations here have not been exhausted at all.

"The people in their logistics department said that they would not give food to our brothers in this battalion for a day, saying that they would wait until tonight, when the US military transport plane would deliver a batch of food airdrop to the sky above Xiajieyuli, and then inform me to eat.

"Isn't it unfair for these fucking Yankees to treat us inappropriately, they eat and drink spicy food themselves, but they want to starve our brothers in this battalion for a day. You, as the battalion commander, should take the lead in protesting to the Americans. ”

In fact, yesterday, Lee Doo-hyun secretly thought to himself that the American soldiers of this regiment would definitely not go hungry, and it would be impossible to even have a meal, so it was very likely that the Korean soldiers of their battalion would be hungry.

Lee Doo-hyun, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, saw Kim Sung-gi with more than two dozen Korean soldiers looking excited, so he had to take out the box of canned beef that he had secretly hidden.

So, Lee Doo-hyun stuffed the open box of canned beef into Kim Sung-ki's hand, and persuaded him with kind words: "Okay, Sun-ky-kun, now, we need to rely on the US military for both weapons and equipment and rations." Let's not annoy the Americans. Otherwise, it is estimated that the hungry will last longer.

"Okay, I only have this box of canned beef that I just opened here, you can take it and share it with a few of them, and each of them will eat a mouthful, so as to satisfy your hunger." Let's starve for a day, and when we wait until the evening, won't we have food to eat again, you hurry up and disperse with everyone, if we make a big fuss, we won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

For a day today, the soldiers of the South Korean army stationed in the battalion stationed in Xiajieyuli were hungry, and on the hillside five kilometers south of Xiajieyuli, the soldiers of the three companies of the Volunteers' sharp knife company would eat a pine nut when they were hungry.

However, both of them eagerly hope that the US military transport plane can drop food as soon as possible, so that they will no longer have to worry about starvation.
