Chapter 32: Unite
"Regiment commander, on a high ground more than 200 meters away from us, there are many people who have shot at us in ambush. Although it seems that the firepower is not very fierce, but only ten minutes have passed, and at least hundreds of soldiers who retreated south with us have been shot and killed here.
"If I guess correctly, the person who is ambushed on the high ground on the south side should be the Chinese army mentioned by the regiment commander in your mouth, called the Chinese Resident Volunteer Army." Only they can rely on not advanced weapons and equipment to play the demeanor of a strong man.
"Now, what are we going to do, Captain?" Kim Sung-ki, the combat staff officer of the 3rd Battalion of the ROK Army, hid behind a hill and asked Major Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the ROK Army, with a solemn face next to him.
In Li Doo-hyun's opinion at this time, even if the combat staff officer Jin Shengji, who had been with him in life and death, did not tell him, he could guess that on the high ground more than 200 meters away in the south, the person who blocked their retreat to the south was none other than the unit of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army that entered the DPRK to fight.
As for how many Chinese troops are in the middle of them, this Li Doohyun has no bottom in his heart, and just now he heard Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer next to him, say this, which made him even more anxious.
Even for Lee Doo-hyun, who had participated in the fight against the invasion of their territory on the Korean Peninsula, he thought that this Chinese army, which was inferior to them at that time, was very brave in the battle in the Liangshuidong area yesterday morning.
In particular, when he fought with the bayonet of the third battalion of the ROK army, he was even more fearless of life and death, and killed a company and a platoon of the 3rd battalion of the ROK army.
Because according to his careful observation, Lee Doo-hyun did not see the firepower of the army ambushed on the southern highlands, and it should only be the establishment of a company, which suddenly made him think that the Korean troops who had withdrawn from Onjeong in the north to the south had at least a thousand troops.
If he could unite the more than 1,000 South Korean soldiers who had retreated to the south against the Chinese army, which was ambushed by only one company on the southern level, he would have a 100 percent chance of victory and would be able to resolve the battle and win the battle in less than an hour.
After some careful consideration, Li Douxuan turned his head to Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer who was lying next to him and was frightened, and said thoughtfully: "Shengji, come and see, if we unite the soldiers who are retreating to the south and jointly attack the Chinese army on the high ground more than 200 meters away from us, what are our chances of winning?" ”
Hearing the sound of gunshots ringing everywhere and the wailing of some South Korean soldiers who had been shot not far away, Kim Sung-ki, the combat staff officer of the third battalion of the South Korean army, who had almost peed his pants, heard the question of his old superior, Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the third battalion of the South Korean army, and made him feel that this part-time job was in the Arabian Nights.
"Regiment commander, although the soldiers who are retreating here to the south now are conservatively estimated to be as many as thousands, but because of the hasty retreat, they did not carry heavy weapons at all, and each of them had at most a gun in his head.
"With a gun in our hands and a few bullets, we launched an attack against the condescending Chinese army on the opposite side, so aren't we equivalent to moths to the fire? In the humble view, our odds of victory will not be very great. Kim Sung-gi just thought about it for a moment, and then said with a pessimistic and disappointed mood.
In his opinion, the brave and fearless combat staff officer Kim Sung-gi who used to fight against the Korean People's Army retreating north no longer exists, and the Kim Sung-gi who appeared in front of him at this time is a coward without courage.
After a light sigh, Lee Doo-hyun felt that he was talking to the loser Kim Sung-gi next to him, which was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, so he decided to ask his new partner, Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. Army, before implementing this plan.
At this time, Captain Thomson was hiding behind a hill at the back, more than a hundred meters away from where Lee Doo-hyun was.
However, Lee Doo-hyun had already made up his mind to take the initiative to attack, so he didn't even say hello to Kim Sung-gi next to him, and bent down from behind the hill, risking being killed by the continuous bullets fired from the south, and he kept running north.
"Captain Thomson, I now have a bold idea to destroy the enemy at the southern altitude a few hundred meters away from us, and I have come to consult with you beforehand, hoping to obtain your consent."
Braving the rain of bullets, Lee Doo-hyun ran all the way north to the back of a hill at the end, and after finding the embarrassed Captain Thomson, he didn't say much nonsense, and directly stated his intention.
After listening to his words, Captain Thomson also said bluntly: "Major Lee Doo-hyun, I am very happy that you can have a bold way to get rid of the enemy who is blocking our retreat to the south.
"However, I must make it clear here that no matter how bold your idea is, you must not involve the soldiers of our American company. In addition, whatever you want to do, I can promise you unconditionally. ”
At this time, Li Douxuan thought that on the way to the end, he also thought that if Captain Thomson led hundreds of soldiers of their American company to participate in this active attack, if the Chinese People's Volunteers on the southern high ground only had about one company of troops, then they could win a complete victory in less than an hour.
But at this time, when he heard Captain Thomson's refusal to let hundreds of soldiers from the U.S. company participate in his bold idea, Lee Doo-hyun was immediately disappointed.
And, let him feel secretly annoyed: Why every time you encounter a strong enemy attack, you Americans always hide at the back, and let our South Korean soldiers rush to the front to block the guns for you, this time, Lao Tzu will let you see, without you Americans participating in the war, we South Korean soldiers can still fight a beautiful victory together.
"Well, Captain Thomson, this bold idea of mine does not include your American companies in the first place. If you agree with my battle plan, then I will give the order to go down and attack the enemy on the high ground to the south. ”
After gritting his teeth, Lee Doo-hyun had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, but he pretended to smile and said.
