Chapter 193: Opening the Package
"Since, on the hillside five kilometers south of where we are, there are only a small force of less than 200 suspected Chinese volunteers, do you think that if I send more than 1,000 troops to attack them, will I have a great chance of victory?"
Colonel Madip, the commander of the US Army who was sitting in the chair, spit out a large puff of smoke, stared at Major Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the Korean military battalion, who was standing in front of his desk, and asked in a serious tone.
For Li Douxuan, who had fought with a small group of volunteers who had raided in Wenjing and Qingchuan River before, his attitude was still very cautious, even if the Chinese volunteers had less than 200 people, and their weapons and equipment were not as good as their American and South Korean troops, and the logistics supplies had not been able to be supplied in time, and the combat effectiveness was indeed very amazing, but he had suffered a big loss in this area, and he almost took his own life.
For the sake of prudence, Li Douxuan pondered for a few seconds before replying: "Report to Your Excellency Colonel, in my personal opinion, we have now received instructions from the command of the Han United Nations Army, which is to stay in this military fortress called Xiajieyuli, and have not conveyed to us the order to take the initiative to attack, for the sake of safety and safety, it is best not to rashly launch an attack on a small group of Chinese volunteers with less than 200 people." ”
As far as Li Douxuan was concerned, his answer immediately made the commander of the American Army, Colonel Madip, very dissatisfied, and he immediately took the case, walked quickly to Li Douxuan, and scolded loudly: "Major Li, you didn't answer my question directly just now.
"I didn't ask you whether you wanted to go out and attack them on your own initiative, nor did I ask you if you received orders from the United Nations command, but I asked you that you think I would not be able to win the battle by sending more than 1,000 troops to attack a small force of less than 200 Chinese volunteers? Next, you have to answer my question head-on, don't play tricks with me, do you hear me? ”
Seeing that Madip was a little annoyed and angry, and scolded him for splitting his head and covering his face, Li Douxuan did not dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately replied positively: "Report to Your Excellency Colonel, I think that if you purely look at the number of people, if you send more than 1,000 troops to attack a small force of less than 200 Chinese volunteers, you will have an absolute advantage.
"In my opinion, if properly commanded, it is entirely possible to defeat this small force of Chinese volunteers, which is less than 200 men. If the performance of weapons and equipment is more sophisticated, I think it will be a sure victory. ”
Since landing at Incheon, a port in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, the Marines of this regimental combat unit led by Madeep have not yet fought against the Chinese Resilient Volunteer Army, which is heading south from the Yalu River Bridge at the northernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula.
Therefore, in the inherent impression of this US army commander, Colonel Madeep, he also thought that he was as easy as he had been dealing with the KPA going to North Korea, and greatly underestimated the extremely tenacious combat capability of the Chinese People's Volunteers.
After listening to Li Doohyun's answer, although Madip was not very satisfied, he felt that the South Korean army battalion commander Lee Doohyun's answer was not neat enough, and he also came up with several hypothetical premises, which were clearly to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, too indecisive and not resolute at all.
However, Madip still thinks that the answer is much better than the last time, at least Li Doo-hyun thinks that he has a great chance of sending more than 1,000 troops to attack the small force of the Chinese Volunteer Army, which is less than 200 troops, and he is still somewhat satisfied with this point alone.
After snuffing out the cigar that had been half-inhaled in his hand, Colonel Madip took a lunge forward, stood in front of Lee Doo-hyun, who was only one step away from him, and took advantage of his height advantage by a head higher, so as to look down on Lee Doo-hyun who was standing opposite him, and put on a condescending posture.
"Well, Major Li, since you said that I can send more than 1,000 troops to defeat the small force of the Chinese Volunteers of less than 200 people, this is very consistent with my own opinion." After thinking for a long time, Colonel Madip had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and after saying this, he suddenly changed his words and continued in a commanding tone: "Now, I order you, Major Li, to lead your battalion, a total of more than 1,000 men, to rush to the hillside about five kilometers to the south before ten o'clock in the morning, after eating at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and to destroy the small force of the Chinese Volunteers with less than 200 troops. ”
What Li Doo-hyun never expected was that he had dug a big hole for himself just now, and now he realized that Madip was waiting for him in this place, and he knew that the result would be to send him and his battalion of Korean troops to attack the small force of the Chinese Volunteers with less than 200 people.
Colonel Madip, the commander of the American Army, who was waiting for a long time, saw Lee Doo-hyun, who was standing in front of him who was taller than him, and stopped talking, waiting for about a minute.
Madip, who was waiting a little impatiently, immediately asked the silent Li Douxuan in an urging tone: "Major Li, do you carry out the combat order I just conveyed to you, do you carry it out or not?" Give me a good word, of course, Major Li, if you don't carry out the order I just gave you, the consequences will be very serious, I am not threatening you, give you another minute to think about it. ”
Although Madip's mouth is not a threat, in Lee Doo-hyun's view, this is clearly a threat to Chiluoluo.
Over there, in the military fortress of Xiajiayuli, the commander of the American Army, Colonel Madip, forced the commander of the South Korean army, Major Li Doo-hyun, to let Lee Doo-hyun have breakfast tomorrow and be sure to rush to the hillside about five kilometers south before 10 o'clock in the morning to launch an attack on the small force of the Chinese Volunteers with less than 200 people, and also demanded that they could only come back after they were eliminated.
In this compartment, the sharp knives that got five large packages of military supplies and food were connected three times, which immediately made all the volunteer soldiers explode, discussing how to distribute the contents of the five large packages.
However, it was not until Zhang Lei took his soldiers of the first and second squads of the third platoon to carry the five large packages into the trenches dug by their three companies of sharp knives, and called the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju to open the three large packages.
After Sun Lei opened all the five packages one by one, he looked at them one by one, he really didn't know if he didn't know it, and he was shocked when he saw the contents of these five packages, which must have stunned everyone including Sun Lei and everyone present.
