When Lee Doo-hyun led a company of ROK soldiers and drove more than a dozen military trucks to park at the airstrip on the outskirts of Hajayu-ri, he waited for two hours from about six o'clock in the evening to see a large transport plane with the Star-Spangled Banner on its shell descending from the sky, which immediately made him breathe a sigh of relief.

I have to say that during the more than two hours of waiting, for Lee Doo-hyun, who is the commander of the Korean army, it is simply a pain for him.

You must know that when he received the order of Colonel Madip, the commander of the US Army stationed in the military fortress of Xiajieyuli, Lee Doo-hyun had been hungry for a whole day, and he and the Korean soldiers of his battalion were drinking the northwest wind for these three meals in the morning, noon and evening.

However, the ROK soldiers of their battalion could only stand aside at the three meals of breakfast and lunch, watching the US soldiers of that regiment eating delicious canned beef and sandwiches, as well as drinking coffee or whiskey, which made their mouths water.

Moreover, the most complaining thing about the South Korean soldiers of their battalion was that the American soldiers of that regiment were eating food that seemed delicious to them, and at the same time scolded and said that the rations were really unpalatable.

At this moment, if you want to describe the situation of the South Korean army and the US army stationed in Xiajieyu, it is: A full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry.

Lee Doo-hyun, who had not eaten anything for three meals, was in the office of the US Army Headquarters, after listening to the orders of Colonel Madeep, the commander of the US Army, and he had been whispering in front of the US soldiers, but at this time, he finally mustered up the courage and decided to put forward a condition for him and the ROK soldiers of the battalion he led.

After thinking for a moment, Li Douxuan immediately straightened his waist and said confidently to Madip, who was standing in front of him: "Colonel Madip, I received an order from my superiors to assist you in defending this military fortress in Xiajieyuli, and did not let us go to help you go to the temporary airfield in the suburbs to receive food and supplies.

"Although you are a colonel of the U.S. Army, and I am just a major of the South Korean Army, I should obey your orders and arrangements, but unless there is an order from my superiors. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do the extraordinarily important thing you just arranged for me. ”

Originally, Madeep thought that he would accept such an easy job for the battalion commander of the South Korean army, after all, they American soldiers looked down on South Korean soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

You must know that the U.S. Marines who participated in the Korean War were invincible in the Pacific theater in World War II, not only experienced in combat, but also well-known.

Before the U.S. troops landed at Incheon, the South Korean troops were defeated by the North Korean People's Army and had no power to resist, and it was the U.S. Marines and other allied troops, under the banner of the United Nations Army, with their huge air superiority and sophisticated weaponry, that brought the North Korean People's Army, which was about to liberate the entire Korean Peninsula, back to the Yalu River.

What made the commander of the US regiment, Colonel Madeep, feel even more contempt for the ROK troops who came to assist them in defending the battalion was that among the ROK soldiers in the battalion led by Lee Doo-hyun, most of them were just improvised strong men, and they had never participated in a battle before, and many of them could not even shoot a gun.

In fact, Madip was the headquarters of the United Nations forces that refused to defend at the beginning, and sent this battalion of ROK troops to assist in the defense and reinforcement of them, in his opinion, not only will this not enhance their combat effectiveness, but I am afraid that it will become a big burden that they cannot shake off.

However, the military order could not be violated, and Colonel Madeep had no choice but to let the South Korean troops of Lee Doo-hyun's battalion enter the lower corner and provide them with food to eat at the lowest standard of living, at least not to make them hungry.

Under the current food shortage, Colonel Madeep had no choice but to keep the food for the American soldiers of his regiment, and let the Korean soldiers of Lee Doo-hyun's battalion go hungry for the time being.

After all, once a war starts, it still depends on the American soldiers of their regiment, and the Korean soldiers of that battalion cannot be counted on at all.

Knowing that the United Nations Army Headquarters in the rear had sent a large transport plane to the garrison in Xiajiayuli to deliver military supplies and food that could last for half a month, Madip thought that it would be better to let the soldiers of the South Korean army in the battalion who had nothing to do go to the airfield in the suburbs to carry these necessary materials and food, and let the American soldiers of his regiment stay in the fortress in Xiajiayuli to rest in place, and called it a beautiful name: recuperate and recharge.

What Madip never expected was that the battalion commander of the South Korean army actually raised objections to his own arrangement, in his opinion, it was simply incredible, because before that, the other South Korean army units that assisted them in the defense, even the brigade commander of the South Korean army, did not even dare to breathe in front of him, only obeyed orders, and did not dare to protest to him in person.

It can be said that today, Lee Doo-hyun, who is the commander of the South Korean army battalion, is still the first person to protest and not cooperate in front of the US army commander Madip.

"Major Lee Doo-hyun, if you don't obey my arrangement, then I have nothing to say, I respect the wishes of you and the soldiers of the South Korean army led by you." Colonel Madip, the commander of the American Army, shrugged his shoulders after muttering for a long time, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and said calmly.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Li Doo-hyun who was standing in front of him to speak, he deliberately paused for about five seconds, and suddenly changed his words, spread his hands, put on a look of indifference, and continued in an aggravated tone: "However, Colonel Lee Doo-hyun, let's talk about the ugly things in front."

"You just kept saying that the United Nations Command Headquarters in the rear just asked you to be responsible for coming to assist in our defense. Well, I can tell you right now that the United Nations Command Headquarters did not say that we should provide you and your battalion of ROK soldiers with accommodation and rations.

"If you don't take your men and go to the airport in the suburbs to carry the military supplies and food delivered by our US military transport plane, as I just instructed, then you and the soldiers of your battalion will continue to be hungry. and I will take back your barracks.

"Major Lee Doo-hyun, I'll give you five minutes. Whether you are going or not, please give me an accurate answer. I hope that the answer you give me in the end will not disappoint me. ”

As soon as Colonel Madeep's words fell, Li Doo-hyun didn't think for even a second, and immediately relented and replied: "Your Excellency Colonel Madeep, if what I said just now angers you, I hereby ask for your understanding. As you have just been told, I will do it right now. ”
