The commander of the Korean battalion, Lee Doo-hyun, waited until the soldiers of the Korean army in the battalion he led had drunk a drop of all the whiskey distributed to them, he went to the soldiers to check it out, and glanced down at the watch on his left wrist.

What he never expected was that the time was already 9:50 in the morning, that is, there were only ten minutes left before the attack time given to him by the commander of the American Army, Colonel Madeep.

Originally, it was thought that the ten artillery runs would come in handy, and they would use the artillery runs to bombard indiscriminately before attacking the slopes of the mountain, which were about 200 meters high, a kilometer to the south of them.

At that time, he thought that after half an hour of artillery bombardment, it would definitely be possible to wipe out the living force of the small force of less than 200 Chinese volunteers who had fallen on the hillside, and then he sent two main companies to charge the hillside.

It can be said that he felt that if this plan could be successfully implemented, he would win this battle, and even annihilate the small force of the Chinese Volunteers on the hillside, which had less than 200 men, he was still very confident in himself, and it could be said that he would win the battle.

But the problem is that the situation is very different now, after observing the terrain, he found that the terrain within a radius of more than ten kilometers is high in the south and low in the north, only the hillside is about 200 meters high, and the terrain on the east, north and west sides of the hillside is all plains and hilly areas, and the height of the highest hill is less than 50 meters above the ground.

If the height is not reached, the effect of using artillery to run away is naturally very bad, so Lee Doo-hyun had no choice but to give up the plan to bombard the southern hillside with those ten mortars and find another way.

Without waiting for him to think of other ways, a large package suddenly appeared in the middle, and it contained fifty bottles of whiskey, under the strong desire of the soldiers, in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, he distributed these fifty bottles of whiskey to all the officers and soldiers of the battalion, at least so that every Korean soldier can drink a sip of whiskey, in order to satisfy their hunger at the same time, hoping to achieve the effect of boosting morale.

Just as Lee Doo-hyun was struggling with how to attack the hillside one kilometer away on the south side in ten minutes, the voice of Colonel Madip, the commander of the US Regiment, came from the walkie-talkie he was carrying: "Major Lee Doo-hyun, there is not much time left for you to attack, there are less than ten minutes left, you can report the exact location of your battalion now, I need to know the situation of your entire battalion." ”

As soon as he heard the voice of Colonel Madip, the commander of the American Army, from the walkie-talkie, it made Lee Doo-hyun angry, especially at this time, he took the trouble to remind and urge him, which naturally made him even more angry.

Even though his heart was on fire, the commander of the Korean battalion, Lee Doo-hyun, obediently replied through the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Report to Your Excellency Colonel Madip, our battalion is located one kilometer north of the hillside, and preparations are being made for an attack in ten minutes. Please rest assured that at 10 minutes in the morning, our battalion will attack on time. ”

For Li Doo-hyun's answer, it was obvious that Colonel Madip could not satisfy him, no, his impatient voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Major Lee Doo-hyun, I must remind you now that there are still eight minutes before ten o'clock in the morning, and your battalion has more than a thousand soldiers, five or six times the strength of the small unit of the Chinese Volunteers on the hillside.

"Moreover, I have specially equipped your battalion with ten mortars and fifty machine guns, and there are so many bullets that you can't run out. Major Lee Doo-hyun don't delay the fighter. In any case, I hope that at ten o'clock in the morning you can hear the sound of your gunfire. ”

After saying this, the commander of the American Army, Colonel Madip, hung up, and no longer talked to Major Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the Korean battalion, who Ling Tan felt a little disappointed, but sat in the barracks office in the lower corner, continued to smoke his cigar, continued to drink his coffee, anyway, he didn't have much hope for Lee Doo-hyun's attack.

It's just a good thing, that is, the commander of the American regiment, Madip, thinks that even if the battle in the morning is lost, or even the entire battalion of Korean troops is wiped out, after leaving the Korean soldiers of that battalion in Xiajieyuli, at least a lot of food and supplies can be saved.

After the voice of Colonel Madip, the commander of the US Army in the walkie-talkie, Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the South Korean army, felt that he now had to rely on his numerical superiority to launch a strong attack on the hillside one kilometer to the south, and he had no other choice but this.

In desperation, Li Doo-hyun, the commander of the Han army battalion, hurriedly called his very trusted combat staff officer Li Doo-hyun to Dalian and admonished: "Shengjijun, now, I order you as the battalion commander. Now immediately lead the soldiers of the two main companies and charge the hillside a kilometer to the south! ”

Regarding the order issued by Lee Doo-hyun, Kim Sung-gi did not hesitate for half a second, and immediately replied: "Okay, Your Excellency Battalion Commander, I will immediately carry out the combat order you gave immediately." ”

After finishing speaking, Kim Sung-gi first gave a military salute to Lee Doo-hyun who was standing in front of him, then turned around and trotted away, gathering the Korean soldiers of the two main companies together in less than a minute, and leading the team to run towards the hillside a kilometer to the south, without looking back.

After the combat staff officer Kim Sung-gi disappeared from his sight with the Korean soldiers of the two main companies, Lee Doo-hyun glanced down at the watch on his left wrist.

At this moment, the time displayed on the watch is 9:59:30 a.m., which means that there are only 30 seconds left until 10 a.m. to attack.

Then, the commander of the South Korean battalion, Lee Doo-hyun, turned around and gave an order to the gunners of the ten mortars lined up next to him: "The artillery company has all the gunners, listen to my command, aim at the top of the hillside one kilometer ahead, and load the shells into the barrel." ”

With the order of the commander of the South Korean battalion, Li Doo-hyun, the gunners standing behind the ten mortars took out a shell from the big wooden box next to them, put it into the barrel with a "clang", and closed the chamber with a "clang".

"Listen to me, ten...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven...... Six...... Five...... Four...... Three...... Two...... One....... Ready, launch! Li Doo-hyun, the commander of the Han army, said in a very rare voice with a loud voice, almost word by word.
