Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 35 Continue to Retreat
"No, absolutely not. Brother Shengji, if we retreat in the direction of the Qingchuan River from here, if we want to completely get rid of the siege and interception of the Chinese army, then we need to give up the heavy weapons we carry and retreat to the opposite side of the Qingchuan River upstream. Row.

"In this case, we will not only lose a lot of weapons and equipment, but also, once the Qingchuan River does not freeze, we will have to brave the severe cold to reach the opposite side by swimming. In the process, we will definitely lose troops.

"What's more, I promised in front of Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. company, that as long as I don't use their U.S. company soldiers and give me the wartime command here, I will be able to pass the rout here. We Korean soldiers unite.

"I can assure you that it will take less than an hour to drive back this small group of Chinese troops on the high ground on the south side, 200 meters away from us.

"It was hard to gather the soldiers who fled here, and just launched a fierce fire attack on the small group of Chinese troops on the high ground on the south side. How could I announce the abandonment of the attack at such a critical moment? Choose to change the direction of retreat."

Lee Doo-hyun, the commander of the [-]rd Battalion of the Korean Army, clenched his teeth, was leaning against the slope behind a hill. After listening to the good words of Kim Sung-ki, the combat staff officer who squatted beside him and gave him a simple bandage for the gunshot wound on his left arm, he couldn't help it. Shaking his head constantly, he said the reason why he didn't want to give up.

Hearing that Lee Doo-hyun, the battalion commander, expressed his unwillingness to retreat to the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River, in the view of Kim Sung-ki, the combat staff officer, his old chief was aloof in his bones.

It is precisely because of this that Lee Doo-hyun has worked as the commander of the third battalion of the Korean Army for three years. After the outbreak of the Korean War, a large number of battalion commanders who joined the army with Lee Doo-hyun, most of them are now in the regiment long.

Looking at the multiple armies in South Korea, Lee Doo-hyun is the only battalion commander who has been brave and resourceful in fighting, and he is the only one who has not been promoted for a long time.

At the same time, as a subordinate and a good brother for many years, Jin Shengji suddenly thought of this at this time, and he couldn't help sighing softly, and once again persuaded his old chief Li Doo-hyun: "I said, my Da Li Major Battalion Commander, please stop being stubborn, okay?

"Do you know that during the period when you were shot in the arm just now, more than a dozen lieutenant platoon leaders and several captain company commanders on our side were all shot by snipers from the Chinese army on the high ground on the south side? Shot and killed.

"What's even more frightening is that among the platoon and company commanders who were shot, almost all of them were shot to the head and killed with a single shot. If I'm not wrong, Battalion Commander, if you didn't accidentally I used my left arm to block it. It is estimated that you, the battalion commander, will be killed by the Chinese army on the opposite side.

"One more thing, I forgot to tell you, Battalion Commander, the captain of the American company named Thomson you mentioned. This Yankee was also shot by the Chinese army's shooter on the opposite side.

"Unfortunately, although he was hit in the chest, he was not hit in the right place, and his heart was not injured, but he also left a lot of blood, and he is now unconscious.

"Now, Captain Thomson, the captain of the American company, is undergoing hemostasis treatment by the team doctor of their American company. I heard that this Yankee's injury is very serious. If the surgical treatment cannot be completed within five hours If he did, he would probably die.

"In the current situation where we have lost so many soldiers and generals, as the battalion commander with the command authority in wartime, you should make a decision immediately, and you can no longer hesitate. Let's retreat in the direction of the Qingchuan River."

Ten minutes ago, after Lee Doo-hyun was shot and injured in the left arm, he was unable to move, and kept hiding behind the hill, let alone letting him move, he did not dare to take the risk of showing his face again, naturally I don't know anything about the situation that Jin Shengji reported just now.

After Lee Doo-hyun listened to Kim Sung-ki's report, he felt that even Thomson, the captain of the U.S. Army company, who was always blowing his beard and staring in front of him, was shot in the chest and chest, and now he is in a state of confusion. , but his wartime commander did not have to worry about his life, which made him feel that this was his luck among misfortunes.

After thinking about this, Lee Doo-hyun weighed the pros and cons secretly before making a decision, and said to Kim Seong-ki who was squatting next to him, "Well, since the current situation is very bad for us. The Chinese army fighting condescendingly on the opposite side continues to entangle. If the Chinese army chases us from the direction of Wenjing in the north, then our losses from the front and back attack will be even more serious.

"Brother Jin Shengji, I am inconvenient to move now, so you can pass on my order to let everyone stop attacking the Chinese army on the opposite high ground, and quickly retreat to the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River not far away. As for the American company's side , You also go to inform, whether they want to retreat with us, let their US company block the decision."

Jin Shengji, who was waiting eagerly, only waited for Li Douxuan's words to fall, and he immediately responded: "Battle Commander, you are indeed wise, I will pass on your order."

Within 5 minutes, the Korean soldiers hiding behind dozens of hills, large and small, on the north side all received the retreat order from Kim Sung Ki.

The Korean soldiers who had no intention of desperately fleeing here had just received the order to retreat, and they discarded the heavy weapons they carried as required by the order, and only took the guns and ammunition they carried with them. Make a big retreat in the direction of the upper Qingchuan River.

The soldiers who saw the Korean army all retreated one after another. The members of the American company who originally wanted to stay, after learning that their captain, Captain Thomson, Kumagi was shot and unconscious, needed to go to the field hospital for surgery in time. In the end, they had no choice but to use a stretcher to carry Thomson, who had just stopped bleeding, and withdrew from the combat position behind the Korean soldiers who were desperately fleeing, and headed towards the Qingchuan River.

"Hey, these Korean devils are really strange. Just now, they fought against us with all their blood. Now why are they all retreating diagonally backward like dogs in mourning?"

Deng Sanshui, who was lying on the high ground in the south, poked out half of his head under the bright moonlight. After discovering this situation, he looked at a loss, so he scratched the back of his head, turned his head, and looked at the tight Sun Lei, who was next to him, asked in a curious tone.
