Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 12 The Battle Begins
"Shengji, do you see that? Liangshuidong is ahead. All the soldiers of our battalion, after arriving at Liangshuidong, it will be noon soon. We can take a good rest in this place before we continue our march north!"

Han Battalion Commander Lee Doo-hyun sat in the co-pilot seat of an open-top jeep, looking at a large valley five miles ahead with a binoculars in his hand, and faced the combat staff officer Kim Sung-gil who was driving the car with both hands holding the steering wheel, Said in a relaxed tone.

The combat staff officer in charge of driving this convertible jeep, Kim Sung-gil, first slapped the steering wheel hard, and cursed without hesitation: "This damn weather, it has snowed heavily for several days in a row.

"The Yankees let our Han army be at the forefront and continue to march northward in such bad weather, but the Yankees are walking slowly behind. This is too unfair."

After hearing Kim Sung-gil, the combat staff officer in his battalion, complained about the U.S. troops participating in the war, Lee Doo-hyun, the battalion commander, immediately criticized and educated him: "Sung-gil, this kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable. He landed in Incheon to join the war to help our country unify the Korean peninsula."

"And you were also invited by General Syngman Rhee. You will not be allowed to say such things in the future. If other soldiers in our camp hear this, what will they think?
"Also, Captain Thomson, the U.S. military adviser, is leading a company of U.S. soldiers to fight with our battalion. If they hear about this, they will definitely report you to the South Korea-U.S. Joint Operations Command. At that time, we will Even if a battalion commander wants to protect you, there is nothing he can do."

After the criticism and education was completed, Battalion Commander Lee Doo-hyun turned his face sideways, glanced at Kim Sung-gil, an old subordinate who had followed him for three years, and reminded in a concerned tone: "As your old boss, at the same time, I also As your good friend, Senge, it is necessary for me to remind you.

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

For the care and reminder of the battalion commander who is five years older than himself, the young and vigorous Kim Seong-gil is naturally awake, and he immediately replied: "I heard it all, battalion commander, don't worry, I am just in front of you." I'm just whining in front of my battalion soldiers and Yankees, I wouldn't say those things."

After nodding his head, Lee Doo-hyun stretched out his hand, patted Kim Seung-gil on the shoulder lightly, and reminded again in a serious tone: "Sung-gil, it's best to say these words that are not conducive to unity in front of me in the future. As soon as someone with a heart listens to it, both of us will be overwhelmed. You can drive your car properly."

The South Korean army with a battalion strength, and the U.S. army with a company strength, all the soldiers were sitting on military trucks, and the platoons took a truck, and the officers above the company commander were all driving open jeeps.

In addition, they were also equipped with an artillery squadron, with a total of more than 50 vehicles of various types, marching mightily to the north five miles away, a valley called Liangshuidong.

In addition to the large number of vehicles, the total strength of this unit is more than 600, almost catching up with the strength of more than half of the regiment, and they are all equipped with American weapons.

It's just that the American soldiers in this company led by Captain Thomson are equipped with the latest weapons of the American army, while the Korean troops in the battalion led by Lee Doo-hyun are equipped with weapons that the American army has finished fighting. After World War II, the old weapons and equipment that were eliminated.

Even if the United States and South Korea are fighting together, judging from the weaponry of the soldiers of the respective countries, the method of favoring one over another can be seen by a discerning eye.

Moreover, on the way northward, there was no resistance from the fleeing Korean People's Army on the way. Thomson's American company was responsible for breaking the rear, while Lee Doo-hyun's Korean battalion was in the lead, and the artillery squadron was driving in the middle.

But even so, for the third company of the Volunteer Army, which has about [-] troops to lay an ambush in Liangshuidong, it is far behind in terms of the number of troops, weapons and equipment, and marching methods. This one of the US-South Korea joint combat force in Shuidong.

Because their third company is the "Sharp Knife Company" of the whole regiment, most of the guns they use are from the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, captured from the little devils and the national army.

In the eyes of the U.S. military and the Korean army, these weapons that have been eliminated long ago are just like burning sticks. If they learn about them, they will definitely sniff their noses and laugh out loud.

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. When the worn-out [-] cover or the official rifle in his hand is finished, he will use the bayonet to engage in close-range hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

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

For Liangshuidong, which is five miles away, a valley area with tens of meters of altitude on both sides, they are not at all vigilant, and they did not send scouts to investigate ahead, and drove the troops directly. .

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who was lying on the hill on the left side of the valley, took a telescope and looked towards the south, and found that there was indeed a group of Han troops in various vehicles heading towards the ambush circle they had set up in advance. rushed over.

When the troops coming from the south were about 500 meters away from where their third company was, Zhao Yifa, the company commander with a telescope, made a major discovery.

That is, the Korean army with about a battalion strength was at the front, a squadron-sized artillery was in the middle, and a company of American troops was at the end. Suddenly, he was very excited.

From his point of view at this time, the Korean Army, which was beaten by the Korean People's Army and scattered to the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula, is no match for their volunteers at all, but what is the strength of the US military in the last company? There is no bottom line, which makes him a little bit guilty.

After all, he had fought little devils before, as well as the puppet army and the national army. This was the first time he had fought a direct battle with the US army. It made him a little inexplicably excited and excited, but also a little bit worried.

When the company commander Zhao Yifa saw that the troops marching from the south to the north were less than 200 meters away from them, he quickly put down his binoculars, took out his pistol, and pointed in the direction of the vanguard of the Korean battalion, " "Bang" shot.

In this way, the encounter between the two water caves began!
