Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 17 Responsible for the Queen
"Battalion Commander Lee Doo-hyun, what is going on with your subordinates? Who gave the order for all the soldiers of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army to retreat? I told your combat staff about ten minutes ago. Second Lieutenant Kim Sung Gil.

"Let him pass on my order to you as quickly as possible. As the vanguard, you, the Third Battalion of the Korean Army, don't get entangled with the Korean People's Army ambushing in this ghost place. Continue to advance northward according to the original plan and rush to China and North Korea as soon as possible. border, to achieve full occupation of the northern mountainous area of ​​the Korean peninsula.

"I would like to ask, Battalion Commander Li Doo-hyun, didn't your combat staff officer, Second Lieutenant Kim Seong-gil, tell you exactly what I ordered?"

Captain Thomson, who was driving a brand new convertible jeep, intercepted Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army who was leading his troops to retreat, on the way.

After listening to Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. Army, questioning him, Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army with the rank of major, felt that a majestic major officer of the U.S. Army was actually confronted by a captain and junior officer of the U.S. Army in front of him. He reprimanded in front of so many soldiers under his command.

Immediately, he felt a little ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. He really didn't have any face to face his group of brothers who had followed him through life and death.

However, Lee Doo-hyun is a calm, experienced and hidden person, even now he is extremely angry deep in his heart.

But on the surface, he didn't show it, he just continued to put on a pleasant face like a normal person.

After he had settled down, he put on a smirk, and laughed aloud: "Oh, Captain Thomson, I remembered. My combat staff officer, Second Lieutenant Kim Sung-gil, hasn't As for the person who found me, the road ahead has already been bombed with more than [-] big holes by the hateful Korean People's Army.

"If we continue to go northward by vehicle, it is already impossible, so I quickly ordered all the soldiers of our third battalion to retreat quickly. After withdrawing from the narrow and long valley of Liangshuidong, another Just look for a road that can go north and go forward.

"No, in the process of retreating back just now, I met Second Lieutenant Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer of our third battalion, and he told me everything you said just now.

"But the problem is that this is the end of the matter. As the vanguard, all the soldiers of the third battalion of the Korean Army retreated back. It has become a fait accompli. The road ahead was indeed bombed and destroyed. We can only retreat further. Just think of another way.”

For Li Doo-hyun's long speech, in Captain Thomson's view, it is clearly arrogance.

Moreover, Captain Thomson also believes that this is just one side of Li Doo-hyun's words, and he will definitely not believe them lightly.

It happened that Kim Sung-gil, the combat staff officer of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army who was in charge of delivering the message just now, was also here. Captain Thomson felt that he should ask Kim Sung-gil face to face.

"Second Lieutenant Kim Sung Gil, you must have heard what Major Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army, said just now. Then please tell me, is what Major Lee Doo-hyun said true?"

Captain Thomson rushed forward with two strides and stood in front of Kim Sung-gil. While staring at him with wide blue eyes, he questioned Kim Sung-gil in a serious tone.

Kim Sung-gil, the combat staff officer of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army, who was already a bit guilty, became trembling and trembling when faced with the questioning of Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. company, and his legs trembled constantly. it is good.

Because Kim Sung-gil wanted to come at this time, he didn't want to offend the domineering American company captain Captain Thomson, and at the same time, he didn't want to betray his old boss and good friend Major Lee Doo-hyun, commander of the Korean Army's [-]rd Battalion, which made him hesitant.

Lee Doo-hyun, who was standing aside, saw his old subordinate Kim Seong-gil's frowning and indecisive look, so he was so angry that he walked up the mountain without saying a word, kicked his foot in the air, and made a "bang" , and it was firmly carried on Kim Sung-gil's ass.

"Second Lieutenant Kim Seong-gil, why are you in a daze, Captain Thomson is asking you something, answer quickly, don't act like a fucking girl." Lee Doo-hyun hurriedly urged Kim Seong-gil after kicking .

Just now Kim Sung Gil was in a dilemma, but after being kicked hard by Lee Doo Hyun, he let go of his worries and burdens.

He pretended to be firm, and replied: "Report, Captain Thomson, what our battalion commander, Major Li Doo-hyun, said just now are all facts, there is no half lie, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

Even if Kim Sung-gil said this, Captain Thomson, who was studying at the West Point Military Academy, still had some doubts about it. He secretly speculated that this Korean battalion commander named Lee Doo-hyun must have colluded with this combat staff officer named Kim Sung-gil to deliberately deceive him. of.

After thinking about it for a while, Captain Thomson, who was steadfast on the matter, was about to continue asking questions when suddenly he heard Lieutenant Bruce, the vice-captain of their American company, speaking out of breath. The voice of the report: "Tang, Captain Thomson, big, something is wrong.

"We, our US company, were also attacked by the Korean People's Army ambushing on the high ground on both sides of this narrow and long valley.

"Already, it has been 5 minutes since the exchange of fire, because this attack was too sudden, and the firepower of the Korean People's Army ambushing on the high ground on both sides is too strong and violent. We, our US company have so far , more than a dozen team members were killed and injured.

"I, I just looked around for you, and there was no sign of anyone. Oh, thank God, I finally saw you here. Captain Thomson, now, what should we do now? We have to move on, Or retreat immediately?"

After listening to the report by Lieutenant Brook, the deputy captain of the U.S. military company, Captain Thomson, who was aggressive towards Lee Doo-hyun and Kim Sung-gil just now, panicked, turned around immediately, and asked with some concern: "What the hell is this place? There is such a huge Korean People's Army hiding, could it be their main force?
"Lieutenant Brooke, let me ask you, judging from your personal point of view, should we continue to move forward, or retreat immediately?"

Lieutenant Brook, who ran all the way in a panic, panted heavily, and then replied in a worried tone: "Captain Thomson, thank you for giving me such a chance to express my opinion." .

"I think it's impossible to go any further now that the front is blocked by the Korean People's Army and the road has been blown up.

"Moreover, our U.S. military company, as the rear troops, was also violently attacked by the Korean People's Army. Judging from the current situation, if we don't retreat further, it is estimated that Lu behind will be blocked. At that time, We will be besieged here, waiting to be beaten to death by the Korean People's Army."

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Captain Thomson no longer insisted on going his own way. He bit his lip hard and said unwillingly: "Well, Lieutenant Brooke, your analysis makes sense. Now, I will Taking your suggestion, our American company, artillery squadron, and the third battalion of the Korean army all retreated back.

After saying this, Captain Thomson walked up to Li Doo-hyun, smiled slightly, and said in an aggressive tone: "Major Li Doo-hyun, but what I need to emphasize is that your third battalion of the Korean Army will be the rear guard this time." The last to withdraw. Do you agree with my offer?"

Now that things have happened, Lee Doo-hyun can't help but refuse to agree. With a helpless face, he could only grit his teeth and reply: "Okay, Captain Thomson, you are our military advisor for the US-Korea coalition forces going north, and I agree with your proposal." .”

Before leaving, Captain Thomson stretched out his big white-gloved hand, patted Lee Doo-hyun on one side of the shoulder lightly, and said proudly: "Since, Major Lee Doo-hyun, you agreed to my proposal, it is not appropriate." It’s too late, please execute it quickly.”

After watching Captain Thomson drive the brand new convertible jeep and leave with Lieutenant Brooke, the combat staff officer Kim Sung-gil who stood aside immediately took the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army to fight for the injustice and said: "Batalion Commander, why are these Yankees following all the way? The officers and soldiers of our third battalion couldn't make it through.

"When marching northward, let our brothers from the third battalion take the lead, and when we encounter the Korean People's Army who are chasing and intercepting us, let us continue marching northward despite the hail of bullets.

"Now, we are about to retreat, and the Yankee called our brothers from the third battalion to the rear, and asked them to retreat in front of the American company and the artillery squadron that fell to the Yankee, and let us stay behind to be scapegoats. Helping the Yankees is abhorrent."

Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the third battalion of the Korean Army who endured the humiliation, naturally had exactly the same thoughts as the combat staff officer Kim Sung-gil, except that he was dumb and ate coptis—it was hard to say.

Because before leaving for the north, the higher-ups made repeated orders, and their three battalions must cooperate with the work of the US company, and there must be no mistakes.Otherwise, he, the battalion commander, would have to be dealt with military law.

Considering that his wife and daughter are still far away in Seoul, if he disobeys the order of Captain Thomson, the captain of the US company, then once he is reported to the US-Korea combat command headquarters in the rear, his personal safety will come second. What he fears is that his wife and son may be arrested by the military.

For Lee Doo-hyun at this time, he had no choice but to obey Captain Thomson's orders unconditionally.

"Oh, okay, okay, brother Senge. We need help from the Americans right now, so let's not put up with it. The most urgent task right now is to minimize the casualties of our battalion.

"Hurry up and let us know. Our third battalion is the rear of the army. It's best to cover the retreating American companies and artillery squadrons. When necessary, use firepower to support them. Wait until they withdraw from this place called Liangshuidong." After the narrow valley, let's evacuate quickly."

After sighing for a long time, Lee Doo-hyun first raised his head and glanced at the direction of Seoul. Then he gritted his teeth and gave the combat order pretending to be relaxed while expressing relief to the disgruntled combat staff officer Kim Sung-gil.
