Chapter 192: Not Pursued
Previously, McDough also wanted to go to the military fortress of Xiajieyu to meet his former commander, Colonel Madeep, for a while, but when he heard Lee Doo-hyun say that after the packages in the cabin were moved, they could fly the transport plane back.
Just now, McDough was worried that he would be held accountable by Colonel Madip, who was the commander of the US Army, if he took the initiative to drop five packages to a small group of South Korean soldiers who were lying next to the pine forest.
Once this matter is not investigated, not only McDough, the US pilot who flew the transport plane, will be punished, but the dozen or so crew members who followed him will also be punished together.
After learning the news from Lee Doo-hyun's mouth, McDoug and the other dozen or so crew members were all greatly relieved, feeling that they were on a mission to deliver supplies this time, and although there was a small mistake on the way, they could finally set off and return without danger.
When the South Korean soldiers of the automobile company brought by Lee Doo-hyun took about half an hour to carry all the packages in the engine room to the 15 military trucks parked outside, he got up and covered his hands with McDoug and the other dozen or so crew members one by one and said goodbye.
Seeing Lee Doo-hyun and his subordinate South Korean soldiers, all of them walked down the cabin door of the transport plane one by one, one second, they just walked down, and the next second, the crew members who stayed in the cabin hurriedly closed and locked the cabin door from the inside.
When Lee Doo-hyun and his Korean soldiers were about 50 meters away from the transport plane, McDough, who was sitting in the cockpit, immediately started the transport plane and taxied quickly to take off.
As soon as Lee Doo-hyun and all the ROK soldiers of the car company he led sat in the cab, they saw that the large transport plane parked at a distance of only more than 100 meters from them flew into the night sky.
After he could no longer hear the roar of the large transport plane flying into the dark night sky, Lee Doo-hyun gave the order to let the fifteen military trucks he brought with him immediately start and set off back to the military fortress in Xiajieyuli.
After driving for about 20 minutes on the road covered with some thick snow, the fifteen military trucks led by Lee Doo-hyun slowly drove into the south gate of the military fortress in Xiajieyuli, which was guarded by American soldiers.
By the way, even less than five miles east of the military fortress of Xiajiayuli was the airstrip that had just been built and opened, and a company of American soldiers was stationed around it.
It's just that they are only responsible for the safety of the airport, and without the order of Colonel Madeep, the commander of the US Army, they will not be dispatched casually, and when Lee Doo-hyun and a company of ROK soldiers rushed to this cabin in 15 military trucks to carry the military supplies in the landing transport plane, the US soldiers of this company received an order from Madeep in advance and asked them to secretly observe and watch from the wall.
After returning to the military fortress in Xiajiayuri, Lee Doo-hyun had just stepped down from the cab of the military truck he was riding in, and immediately found Kim Sung-ki, who was following him, and instructed him to lead the Korean soldiers in the automobile company to carry all the military supplies on the fifteen military trucks, that is, the 14445 large packages, to the warehouse designated by Madip to be guarded by the US military.
And Lee Doo-hyun wanted to go to the office of Colonel Madeep, the commander of the American Army, by himself, to report to him.
After admonishing Kim Sung-ki, Lee Doo-hyun didn't dare to stop for a moment, and rushed to the office of Colonel Madip, the commander of the U.S. Army, but found that Madip was sitting in a chair, with his feet in military boots on the desk, holding a cup of freshly brewed and steaming coffee in his left hand, and a freshly lit cigar in his right hand.
"Major Lee Doo-hyun, you came to me in a panic, it can't be that there is something wrong with what I asked you to do, right?" Madip, who was leisurely and complacent, first took a sip of a slightly hot coffee, then took a long puff of his cigar, paused for a few seconds, and then exhaled the smoke he had inhaled before asking.
Li Dooxuan, who was standing in front of the desk, saw Madeep's graceful appearance, which really made him not know what to say, now that he was in the city, he still had the leisure to drink coffee and smoke cigars here, so he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and sighed softly several times.
In the face of Madeep's question, Lee Doo-hyun did not hide it, but presented to Madeep the explanation written by Captain McDough, the US pilot who flew the transport plane, and the signed guarantees of more than a dozen other crew members.
After placing the hot coffee in his left hand on the desk, Madeep put the cigar he had held in his right hand in his mouth and freed his hands to receive the signed guarantee letter presented by Lee Doo-hyun.
After submitting the signed guarantee, Lee Doo-hyun truthfully reported to Madeep what he had just discovered at the airport, and also informed Madeep of his own concerns, hoping to attract Madeep's attention and attention.
After listening to Lee Doo-hyun's report, Madip first muttered a few words to himself, complaining: "McDough, a careless guy, dared to airdrop five packages containing supplies and food without confirming whether they were Korean soldiers. ”
After saying this, Madeep sighed lightly, changed the conversation, and continued to talk to himself, relieved: "Cut on McDough, this kid is my former subordinate, besides, he was still very heroic on the battlefield at that time, and he also made many meritorious contributions. I'm not going to give him a little report to the joint command. It's not a lot to lose five packages, and the next time I return to the United States, I'm going to slaughter him well, and I'll have to ask him to treat me to a delicious meal. ”
After taking two puffs of cigar on his mouth, he asked Li Doo-hyun, who was standing in front of his desk, "Major Li, you just guessed that on the hillside about five kilometers south of us, the small unit of the South Korean army that Captain McDoug met was disguised by the volunteers.
"Well, let's talk about it, when Captain McDoug explained the cause and effect to you again, he didn't say anything, how many people did he look down when he was flying at low altitude?"
After a few seconds of recollection, Lee Doo-hyun replied, "Report, Your Excellency, if I am not mistaken, Captain McDoug said that the small force that fell on the hillside and pretended to be our Korean army was less than 200 men in strength. ”
