Chapter 191: Counting Packages
Among the dozen or so crew members on this transport plane, McDough, as a pilot, has the highest military rank, and only he has the rank of captain, and among the other dozen or so, there are either lieutenants and ensigns, and no one can surpass him.
Therefore, after Captain McDough received an official document from Major Lee Doo-hyun, he opened it first, checked it carefully, and felt that there was no problem, it was indeed from Colonel Madeep, so he continued to check the remaining dozen crew members standing next to him one by one.
According to the regulations and requirements of the time, only when the entire crew had read the official documents handed over and ensured the authenticity of the official documents, could the military supplies piled up in the cabin of the transport aircraft be handed over to the people who came to greet them.
"Your Excellency Major, this official document of yours is true and credible, now, you can take your people into this transport plane behind me and remove all the packages stacked in the cabin." McDoug saw the other dozen or so crew members standing next to him and nodded at him, and then he looked at Lee Doo-hyun standing in front of him and said with a smile.
Li Dooxuan, who was anxiously waiting in place, waited for almost five minutes, and after getting permission, he quickly responded politely: "Okay, Your Excellency Second Lieutenant, I will take my people and board the plane to carry supplies." ”
Immediately afterwards, Lee Doo-hyun turned half sideways and said loudly to the soldiers of the South Korean army who were still sitting on the fifteen military trucks more than ten meters away from him, and said in a commanding tone: "The people in the automobile company have listened to me, now get out of the car quickly and enter the cabin of this transport plane with me to carry the materials." ”
Just waiting for Lee Doo-hyun's order, the South Korean soldiers of this company who were staying on the military truck jumped out of the car one after another, and they all scrambled to stand behind Lee Doo-hyun.
In less than half a minute, the South Korean soldiers of this company were assembled, and Lee Doo-hyun waved his hand and rushed to the transport plane that had opened the cabin with the South Korean soldiers of the company behind him.
However, before starting to move, Li Doo-hyun first personally counted all the packages in the cabin carefully, after all, this is not a trivial matter, in case something goes wrong, when he returns to the military fortress in Xiajieyuli, I am afraid that the unkind American commander Colonel Madip will rebuke him, this is not the situation he wants to see.
After Li Doo-hyun carefully counted it, he frowned slightly, and quickly found Captain McDoug standing next to him, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Your Excellency, I don't know anything now, I hope you can give me an answer."
"Before I come, according to the letter which Colonel Madeep has handed me and which is now in your possession, there must be one hundred and fifty packages on board the transport plane that you have flown in at this expense.
"However, I have just counted all the packages in the cabin no less than three times, and I have found that there are only one hundred and forty-five packages. May I ask Your Excellency, Captain, what's the matter with the five packages missing? Can you explain it to me? Otherwise, I will not be able to account to Colonel Madeep when I return. ”
In the face of the question raised by the commander of the South Korean military battalion, Lee Doo-hyun, as the pilot who flew the transport plane this time, Captain McDough naturally knew where the missing five packages went, because those five packages were dropped by airdrop on the hillside five kilometers south of the place where they were while the other crew members were sleeping in the cabin.
After thinking about it for a moment, McDoug felt that he still needed to explain, so he told Lee Doo-hyun, who was standing in front of him, about the cause and consequences of airdropping five packages on a hillside five kilometers south of him, hiding from the rest of the crew.
After listening to McDough's explanation, Li Douxuan took a cool breath, and with his acumen as a professional soldier, he secretly concluded in his heart that the small unit of the South Korean Army that McDoug had just described was the vanguard of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army that was elusive on the Korean battlefield, and suddenly he couldn't help but shudder.
This is because before that, Lee Doo-hyun led his battalion of the vanguard of the Korean army, and more than a month ago in the Wenjing and Cheongcheon River areas, he had fought against a small force of the Chinese People's Volunteers who were more than ten times less than them.
The final result was that Lee Doo-hyun led his battalion of the vanguard of the South Korean army, which was originally a mechanical unit in various military vehicles, but was eventually beaten to pieces and fled.
If Lee Doo-hyun hadn't run too fast on the north bank of the Cheongchon River at that time, and without the relay help of his combat staff officer Kim Sung-ki, it is estimated that he would have been killed in the icy Cheongcheon River or become a prisoner.
It can be said that Li Doo-hyun personally had a head-to-head confrontation with the Chinese People's Volunteer Army units that he considered to be very powerful on the battlefield, and although he had been receiving treatment in the field hospital in the rear for more than a month, he had heard many news that the Chinese People's Volunteers had achieved fruitful results by using small units to intersperse the rear of the US-ROK coalition forces to carry out surprise attacks.
At this moment, after listening to McDough's account, he immediately raised his vigilance, feeling that this matter was not trivial, and he must report the matter to the American Commander Madip as soon as he returned to the military fortress in Xiajieyuli.
In order to prove that the five large packages had nothing to do with him, Lee Doo-hyun also took out a pen and paper and asked McDoug to explain in black and white, and after McDoug signed and drew the pledge, he also asked more than a dozen other crew members to vouch for the matter.
Of course, in order not to make McDoug and the other dozen or so crew members worried, Lee Doo-hyun did not get to the bottom of the matter, but lied that he just knew about it.
Anyway, the dozen or so crew members, including McDough, all proudly felt that this battalion commander of the Korean Army Major would not do anything to them, anyway, after they finished carrying the packages in the cabin, they set off to return, even Colonel Madeep pursued the matter, and it was estimated that the whip commander could not reach it.
After this was done, Lee Doo-hyun commanded the South Korean soldiers of his company, and it took about half an hour to carry all the 145 packages in the engine room to the 15 military vehicles they parked outside.
