Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 40
More than 1000 Korean troops retreating towards the Qingchuan River, as well as the American company with almost no casualties, after discarding a lot of heavy weapons and equipment and bulky wooden ration boxes, they arrived quickly after half an hour. Qingchuan Riverside.

Because in this icy and snowy season, and at the coldest time of the day in the early morning, the temperature is close to minus [-] degrees. The surface of the river, which does not look very wide, is covered with a layer of ice, and many places are under the ice. It is also covered with a layer of snow.

Generally speaking, in this kind of severe cold weather, once the river surface is frozen, people can naturally step on the ice to pass through. As far as the eye can see, the width of the Qingchuan River is more than 200 meters, such a large width, There is simply no guarantee that the thickness of the ice on all the rivers can withstand a person stepping on it safely.

Kim Sung-ki, the combat staff officer of the 200rd Battalion of the Korean Army with a vanguard responsible for the reconnaissance mission, was more than [-] meters away from the Qingchuan River when he saw a lot of people gathered by the river in front of him. There were as many as a thousand people, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Because at first he thought that the more than 200 people gathered by the Qingchuan River more than 1000 meters ahead of him were the fast-moving Chinese army. After he was done, he took out a [-]% new American military binoculars and looked at it for a few times, which made him feel at ease, and all the worries just disappeared.

I really don’t know if I don’t look at it. I was shocked when I saw it.Jin Shengji, the combat staff officer of the third battalion of the Korean Army, carefully observed through a telescope. He found that more than 200 meters ahead, the more than 1000 people gathered by the Qingchuan River were all wearing military uniforms and equipped with weapons, but they were not the Chinese People’s Volunteers he had imagined just now. Troops, but the troops of their Korean army.

Moreover, according to his careful observation, he found that this South Korean army, which was hesitating at the Qingchuan River in front, belonged to the South Korean garrison stationed at Onjeong through the serial number on the uniform.

Moreover, it seemed that the more than 1000 Korean soldiers who stayed by the Qingchuan River were all disheveled, and mentally, they were also depressed, as if they had just lost a battle.

In this regard, Jin Shengji secretly concluded that Wenjing, which was in danger two hours ago, might have been captured by the powerful and ferocious Chinese People's Volunteers. will not appear here.

What's more, the Korean garrison regiment originally stationed in Wenjing, an important Zhanjue fortress located in the lower reaches of the Qingchuan River, has a strength of at least 3000 people in a reinforced regiment, and the more than 1000 people they escaped, plus the current Of the more than 1000 people, more than 2000 people escaped from the warm well. Naturally, the warm well was undoubtedly lost.

After learning about this situation, Kim Sung-ki led his reconnaissance team to rest for a while, and a large force of more than 1000 people led by Lee Doo-hyun, commander of the third battalion of the Korean Army, chased up from behind and merged with Kim Sung-ki's reconnaissance team. place.

"Battalion Commander, I have an urgent situation to report to you." After seeing Li Doo-hyun, Jin Shengji immediately said in an eager tone.

Lee Doo-hyun, who arrived here with a large force of more than 1000 people, is now preoccupied with crossing the Qingchuan River in front of him, and hastening to send Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. Army Company, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to the field hospital on the other side of the Qingchuan River. Perform surgery.

He didn't want an American company captain to die while walking with him. Once Captain Thomson died, he, the battalion commander of the major, would bear the blame.

Lee Doo-hyun, who ignored him, said in an impatient tone: "Brother Shengji, the most important task for the two of us now is to, in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, get the life-threatening Captain Thomson shot in the chest safely and smoothly." They were escorted to our field hospital on the other side of the Qingchuan River for treatment.

"If you have other things, if it's not important, just let it go. If you think it's very important, I can give you 1 minute. You'd better make a long story short. Don't delay the rescue of Captain Thomson The treatment time. Otherwise, both of you and I will be to blame."

Kim Seong-ki, who originally had no good impression of Captain Thomson, the captain of the U.S. military company who was fighting together, saw his old boss Lee Doo-hyun showing a look of impatience to him, which made him very angry, and expressed his anger towards him. Feel secretly annoyed.

However, Lee Doo-hyun was kind to him. If it weren't for Lee Doo-hyun's protection, the cowardly Kim Seong-ki would have been dealt with by the military law by Captain Thomson, the captain of the US company in charge of supervising the third battalion of the Korean army. He also didn't dare to make trouble in front of Li Douxuan.

After calming down, Jin Shengji suppressed the anger in his heart, and in less than a minute, he reported the actual situation he had just detected to Lee Doo-hyun concisely and truthfully.

After listening to Jin Shengji's report, his complexion became even uglier immediately. It's not that he blamed himself for the fall of Wenjing, because in his opinion, the combat capabilities of the Chinese People's Volunteers are really powerful. It is impossible to hold on to the warm well.

Since we can't hold the warm well, we might as well withdraw from the warm well early to preserve our strength, and it will not be too late to regroup and fight again after retreating to the rear.

What really worries Lee Doo-hyun is that on the Qingchuan River in front, the more than 1000 Korean soldiers who also escaped from Onjeong crossed the river quickly without the Chinese army chasing them, but gathered by the river to hesitate. not before.

In his opinion at this time, the biggest reason must be that the ice on the Qingchuan River, which is more than 200 meters wide, is not thick enough. The more than 1000 Korean soldiers waiting by the river did not dare to step on the ice to the other side of the river.

Just as Lee Doo-hyun was thinking hard about how to cross the Qingchuan River smoothly and safely, suddenly, he heard gunshots one after another hundreds of meters away.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da……"

When Li Douxuan, who was pretending to be calm, took a look back with the binoculars, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because a Chinese army that seemed to have hundreds of people was chasing up behind him, and they were flying towards their direction on the snow. Come.

At this critical moment, Lee Doo-hyun made a decisive decision and decided to try his luck this time. He shouted at the Korean soldiers gathered around him and said, "Listen everyone, now I order Everyone, headed towards the Qingchuan River more than 200 meters ahead at full speed, and rushed to the opposite bank through the frozen surface of the Qingchuan River."
