"Report to the Major Commander, we have encountered a barricade set up by the enemy in front of us, and as far as the eye can see, it is more than two hundred meters, and a large number of stones and tree trunks have been piled up on the road, and a large number of mines and bombs have been planted in the snow covered by the road.

"If the entire engineering company were to be dispatched to clear the roadblocks, I estimate that it would take at least four hours to complete. Ask the Major Principal for instructions on the next steps. ”

Park Jung-tae, the South Korean captain company commander in charge of the temporary command of the vanguard, reported to Thomas, the commander of the US military major battalion who was following the team, through the walkie-talkie he was holding, and said in broken English.

After listening to the report of South Korean Captain Company Commander Park Zhengtai, Thomas, the commander of the US military major, suddenly became furious and anxious; in his opinion, the unit of the US-South Korean coalition army led by him had been driving eastward along the road from the direction of Guitoudong for more than two hours, and had not encountered the encirclement and interception of the Chinese army, which seemed a little abnormal.

Suddenly, at this time, they found that a roadblock with a length of more than 200 meters was set up on the road ahead, and a large number of mines and bombs were also placed under the road, so that they could not remove the roadblock in a short time, which showed that its purpose was to drag them here.

Not to mention that if they stay here for four hours, even if they stay for even another hour, they will probably be caught up by the main force of the Chinese army that has captured Guitoudong, and at that time, they will probably be unable to escape.

When Thomas, the battalion commander of the US military major, who was in deep thought, took a long time before he used the walkie-talkie in his hand to say to Park Jung-tae, the commander of the South Korean Captain Company who had just reported to him, with some concern: "Four hours is too long, you should stay in place first, and I will give you an answer later." ”

Less than a minute after he finished talking to South Korean Captain Company Commander Park Jung-tae through a walkie-talkie, he suddenly heard a violent gunfire from the rear of their US-South Korean coalition team, which made him shiver in fear while sitting in a military jeep.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

"Boom Boom ......"

Before Thomas, the battalion commander of the US military major, who was shocked into a cold sweat, took the initiative to ask, and the walkie-talkie in his hand came with an urgent report in broken English spoken by Choi Yanjun, the South Korean captain company commander in charge of the palace: "Report, report to the major commander, here, a hundred meters away from the rear of our team, there is a large number of Chinese soldiers chasing from the direction of Guitoudong.

"Now, right now, this Chinese army is attacking us. I, I am leading a company of troops in the rear of the palace to return fire on this Chinese army that is catching up, and ask for operational instructions from the major commander. ”

For this team of the US-South Korean coalition army, there are roadblocks in front of them that are difficult to clear and remove in a short period of time, and there are fierce pursuers behind them, so they are selected into a dilemma.

After a long sigh, Thomas, the battalion commander of the US Army Major, whose emotions had become a little out of control, immediately rushed to the walkie-talkie in his hand and ordered loudly: "Captain Cui, I now order you, with the strength of your company, to launch a fierce counterattack on the spot against the Chinese troops who are catching up, and you are not allowed to retreat half a step back without my order." Anyone who disobeys orders will be shot. ”

The captain and company commander of the Korean army, who was trembling with fright, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, Major Commander, I, I will carry out your order immediately." ”

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Thomas, the US military major battalion commander with a sad face, felt that the strength of the South Korean company in charge of the rear of the palace might be difficult to stop the fierce attack of the Chinese troops chasing from behind, and it was necessary to send more men and more troops.

Anyway, in the opinion of Major Thomas at this time, even if it is a battle to the death with the Chinese army that is catching up here, then the troops on the south bank must be put at the forefront, and the strength of a battalion of American troops led by him will retreat to the second line, and thus look for an opportunity to get out at any time.

After thinking for a moment, this Major Thomas hurriedly used the walkie-talkie in his hand to order the South Korean captain company commander Park Zhengtai in a serious tone: "Captain Park, the rear of our team has been attacked by the Chinese army, and now, I order you to bring the strength of your company and go to support the troops behind the palace. ”

Park Jung-tae, the company commander of South Korean Captain Captain Park Jung-tae, who was on standby, listened to the order given by Major Thomas from his walkie-talkie, and he did not hesitate at all, and replied in a firm tone: "Okay, Major Thomas, I will carry out your order and go to reinforcements." ”

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, South Korean captain and company commander Park Jung-tae hurriedly gathered the South Korean soldiers of a company of the vanguard unit, carried their various weapons and equipment, and rushed to the rear of the US-South Korean coalition force in the form of running forward for reinforcements.

In addition, Major Thomas then sent almost all of the South Korean soldiers in their US-South Korean army to the back of the line to fight back against the Chinese troops who were catching up.

Needless to say, this Chinese army, which had caught up all the way, naturally captured the Chinese People's Volunteers at the cost of very few casualties a few hours ago.

They relied on walking all the way through the mountain roads and shortcuts, and only at dawn did they catch up with the US-South Korean coalition troops who had fled here, which had a full regiment, and launched a fierce attack.

When Major Thomas sent all the South Korean soldiers to the back of the line to fight back against the large force of volunteers who were catching up, he called Jackson, the commander of the American Captain Company, to him and ordered: "Captain Jackson, you have heard it now, the fierce Chinese army that captured Guitoudong has caught up, and I have ordered almost all the South Korean soldiers to fight back against this Chinese army that is biting us to death."

"However, you must also know that the South Korean army is no match for the Chinese army at all, not to mention that the South Korean army that fled with us all the way is only half a regiment of troops, and their counterattack will not last long, and our US military will have to rely on itself if they want to get out.

"Now, I order you, with me, to lead a company of troops to occupy the north and south slopes of the road, and when that group of stupid South Korean soldiers is defeated, we will rely on our condescending superiority to flank the Chinese army advancing to the north and south of the road. Give them a little bit of the color of our U.S. military.

"Even if we don't have any advantage in numbers, at least we can take advantage of the location. If we can't defeat this Chinese army that is not afraid of death, we can also escape from the two slopes in the north and south. Do you understand what I said? ”

Standing in front of the military jeep, Captain Jackson, the commander of the U.S. Army, first gave a military salute to Major Thomas, who was sitting in the car, and then he replied loudly: "I understand, Major Commander, I strictly follow your orders." ”
