"Shengji, do you see it, there is Wenjing in front of you, and the Qingchuan River is not far away. The officers and men of our whole battalion, when we arrive at Wenjing, it will be noon immediately, so we can have a good rest in this place, and then we will continue to march north!"

Lee Doo-hyun, commander of the ROK military battalion, sat in the passenger seat of an open-top jeep, looked at a large river valley five miles away with binoculars in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone to Kim Sung-gil, an operational staff officer who was sitting in the driver's seat next to him holding the steering wheel with both hands in his hands.

And Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer in charge of driving this open-top jeep, first slapped the steering wheel fiercely and cursed without scruples: "This damn ghost weather, it has been snowing heavily for several days in a row."

"The Yankees let our South Korean army be at the forefront and continue to advance north in such bad weather, but those Yankees are hurrying slowly behind, which is too unfair."

After hearing the words of Kim Sung-gil, the combat staff officer in his battalion, who had complained about the US troops participating in the war, Lee Doo-hyun, as the battalion commander, immediately criticized and educated him: "Sung-gil, this kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable, the Americans landed at Inchon to participate in the war because they were helping our country unify the Korean Peninsula. ”

"And I was also invited by General Syngman Rhee, and you are not allowed to say this kind of thing in the future. What would the other soldiers in our battalion think if they heard this?

"Also, Captain Thomson, the US military adviser, also brought a company of US soldiers to fight with our battalion, if they heard this, they would definitely go to the South Korea-US Joint Operations Command to sue you. When the time comes, I, a major battalion commander, just want to protect you, and I can't do anything. ”

After the criticism and education were completed, the battalion commander Li Doo-hyun turned his face sideways, glanced at the old subordinate Jin Shengji, who had followed him for three years, and reminded him in a concerned tone: "As your old boss, and at the same time, as your good friend, Shengji, I need to remind you."

"In the future, you have to control your mouth, what you shouldn't say, it's best not to say a word, we, as professional soldiers, just obey the orders of our superiors. Did you hear that?"

For the care and reminder of the battalion commander who was five years older than himself, the young and vigorous Jin Shengji was naturally awake, and he immediately replied: "I heard it all, battalion commander, you can rest assured, I am just complaining in front of you, in front of the soldiers and Yankees of our battalion, I will not say these words." ”

After nodding, Li Doo-hyun stretched out his hand, gently patted Kim Sungji's shoulder, and reminded again in a serious tone: "Sungji, in the future, it is best to say a lot of these words that are not conducive to unity in front of me, in case someone with a heart listens to it, the two of us will not be able to eat and walk around." You drive your car well. ”

The ROK troops, which are a battalion of troops, plus a company of US troops, all the soldiers sit in military trucks, and the platoon units ride in one truck, and the officers above the company commander are all driving open-top jeeps.

In addition to this, they were equipped with an artillery squadron, and the various vehicles together amounted to more than fifty units, and they marched five miles to the north, in a river valley called Wenjing.

In addition to the large number of vehicles, the total strength of this unit is also more than 600 people, which is almost equal to the strength of most of the regiment, and it is equipped with American-style weapons.

It's just that the U.S. soldiers in this company led by Captain Thomson are equipped with the latest weapons of the U.S. military, while the weapons of the South Korean army in this battalion led by Lee Doo-hyun are all old weapons and equipment that the U.S. military has eliminated after fighting World War II.

Even if the United States and South Korea are fighting jointly, judging from the weaponry of the soldiers of the armies of their respective countries, the way in which one person favors one over the other, a discerning person can know what is going on at a glance.

In addition, on this way north, there was no resistance from the Korean People's Army that had fled in all directions, Thomson's American company was responsible for breaking the rear, while the South Korean army of Lee Doo-hyun's battalion was in the lead, and the artillery squadron was driving in the middle.

However, even so, for the Third Company of the Volunteer Army, which had about 100 troops in an ambush at Wenjing, it was far behind the US-ROK joint combat force that was about to arrive at Wenjing, whether in terms of the number of troops, the weaponry or equipment, or the way of marching.

Because their third company was the "sharp knife company" of the whole regiment, most of the guns used were captured from the hands of the little devils and the national army in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.

In the eyes of the U.S. and South Korean armies, these weapons, which have long been eliminated, are like burning sticks, and if they learn about them, they will definitely scoff and laugh at their big teeth.

Therefore, since their third company has the excellent tradition of "sharp knife company", every veteran has a knife on his back, which is used to fight the enemy at close range.

And every recruit soldier in the third company must have a bayonet, and when the old 38 cover or medium formal rifle in his hand is finished, he will get on the bayonet and engage the enemy in a close-range white-knives battle.

Since, on the way north, this US-ROK joint combat force did not encounter any resistance, and they had a smooth and relaxed journey, they naturally relaxed their vigilance.

They had no sense of vigilance at all in the valley area of Wenjing, which was five miles away from the front, and they did not send scouts to the front to investigate, so they drove the troops over directly.

Zhao Yifa, the company commander lying on the hill on the left side of the valley floor, took a telescope and looked in the direction of the south, and found that sure enough, there was a group of South Korean troops riding in various vehicles, rushing towards the ambush circle they had set up in advance, and rushed over without fear.

It was only when this unit from the south was about 500 meters away from the location of their third company that Zhao Yifa, the company commander with a telescope, made a major discovery.

That is, at the forefront was the South Korean army, which had about a battalion of strength, a squadron-sized artillery in the middle, and a company of American troops at the end, which suddenly made him feel excited.

At this time, in his opinion, the South Korean army, which had been beaten by the Korean People's Army and scattered to the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula, was not the opponent of their volunteer army at all, but what was the strength of the American army in the last company, Zhao Yifa was bottomless in his heart, which made him somewhat mutter.

After all, he had fought little devils before, as well as the puppet army and the national army, and this was the first time he had fought a direct battle with the US army, which made him a little inexplicably excited and excited, and at the same time, he also had a trace of worry.

When company commander Zhao Yifa saw that the unit advancing from the south to the north was only less than 200 meters away from them, he quickly put down his binoculars, took out his pistol, and fired a "bang" shot in the direction where the vanguard of a battalion of the ROK army was located.

At this point, the battle of Wenjing began!
