Chapter 181 A box of canned food
Night was about to come. Li Douxuan, the commander of the Han army stationed in the military fortress in Xiajieyuli, finished eating the large bowl of white rice distributed to him, and just took a few bites of a bottle of canned beef on his hand. He did not continue to eat it, but sealed the lid and prepared to keep it on his body for emergency needs.
Because after he finished the bowl of rice, he received a notice from the logistics quarantine officer of a US military regiment stationed in Xiajieyu. From tomorrow morning, all of them had to plan to go hungry and all the food had been eaten.
You should know that even the soldiers of the US regiment have nothing to eat, let alone the Korean soldiers in their battalion, so they can only endure hunger.
As soon as the US Army Logistics Qualifier informed him of the news, Li Douxuan was eating canned beef with relish in his barracks. Suddenly, he felt tasteless and tasted like chewing wax.
After sending off the US Army Logistics Qualifier, Li Douxuan was in no mood to continue eating, but stood there for about ten minutes before turning around, sealing the canned beef that had just eaten a few bites, and putting it into the pocket on the side of her pants.
Just at this moment, Li Dooxuan heard the sound of footsteps from far to near outside the barracks where he lived. When he turned around and looked at the door of the barracks, he saw that Jin Shengji had not knocked on the door, so he walked in anxiously.
"Battery Commander, have you received the notice? I heard that the Americans gave our battalion a final ultimatum today, saying that the food and rations of the military fortress we stationed in Xiajieyuli have been eaten up. From tomorrow morning, all the people in our battalion will go hungry here." Jin Shengji walked to Li Douxuan and immediately said in an angry tone.
After hearing the passionate statements of the combat staff officer Kim Sung-ki, Li Do-hyun, as the battalion commander, sighed lightly, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said, "Oh, Sung-ki-kun, don't be so angry. There is nothing you can do about it. Even the people from the US military regiment have nothing to eat. Of course, the soldiers in our battalion will not eat anything. If you want to go hungry, they will be hungry together. What's the point of being angry about?"
After Lee Doo Hyun finished the above words, Kim Sung-ki muttered in a low voice: "It would be great if I really told the Americans like this. I'm afraid the Americans were talking to the public so that we would not have a big protest from tomorrow when we were hungry and had no food to eat. And the Americans must have something to eat. The Americans have a strong logistics supply system. How could it be that the American soldiers who came from afar had nothing to eat? Even if it was impossible to eat without food for a meal."
Li Douxuan didn't hear what Kim Sung-ki muttered quietly, so he naturally didn't know what he was saying. After sending Kim Sung-ki who came to complain to him out of the barracks, Li Douxuan closed the barracks door and prepared to lie on the bed to sleep.
Although the forces of their Korean army came to assist in the defense of the military fortress of Xiajieyuli, after they arrived here, they did not do anything within a few days, and they only had to sleep every day except for eating and drinking.
Whether it is responsible for defending or guarding Hajieyuli, all the work was left to the US soldiers, and there was no such thing as the Korean troops in their battalion.
Of course, Li Douxuan, as the battalion commander, had already tasted the pain of fighting against their enemy, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Their Korean army is not a match for the forces of a battalion, not to mention a regiment of troops, and to deal with a company of volunteers, they are no match for them at all.
If it weren't for a professional soldier, Lee Doo Hyun would have wanted to escape at the last minute. But his only bond was his temperament and daughter who was detained in Hancheng. For the sake of the safety of their lives, he had no choice but to continue to serve in the Korean army.
At around seven o'clock the next morning, Li Douxuan was still awakened by the sound of smashing the door with a "bangbang" sound. That's right, it wasn't knocking on the door, but smashing the door. Dozens of fists were constantly hitting the closed door of the barracks where Li Douxuan lived.
Li Douxuan, who was awakened by the noise, thought something was wrong. He slept with his clothes, put on military boots, got out of the bed in a daze, and yawned while opening the barracks door from the inside.
"It's such a big deal early in the morning. I haven't woken up yet. Why are you smashing the door of my barracks with such great force?" After opening the door of the barracks from inside, Li Douxuan first rubbed his sleepy eyes. After seeing that the people standing outside the door were more than 20 Korean soldiers under his command, he asked angrily.
The leading combat staff officer Kim Sung-ki immediately complained loudly to him: "Battery Commander, we were deceived by that group of Americans yesterday, and the food here was not exhausted at all. Early this morning, everyone in the US soldiers of their regiment had sandwiches and steaks to eat.
"Their logistics department said that they won't give our brothers from this battalion a day. They said they would wait until tonight when the US military transport opportunity would transport a batch of food to the airdrop over Hajieyuli, and then notify me of food to eat.
"Don't these fucking Americans treat us as human beings? They eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but they want to let the brothers in our battalion starve for a day. This is too unfair. As the battalion commander, you should take the lead in protesting to the Americans."
In fact, yesterday, Li Douxuan secretly thought that the American soldiers in this regiment would definitely not be hungry, and it was impossible to even have a meal. It was very possible to make the Korean soldiers in their battalion hungry.
Li Douxuan, who had been mentally prepared, saw Jin Shengji with more than 20 Korean soldiers looking excited, so he had to take out the box of canned beef that he had secretly hidden away.
So, Li Douxuan stuffed the canned beef in Jin Shengji's hand and persuaded him with kind words: "Okay, Shengji, now, we need to rely on the US military for supplies in both weapons and equipment, food and food. Let's not annoy the Americans. Otherwise, we will probably be hungry for a longer time.
"Okay, I only have the canned beef left here. You can share it with them. Each of them will take a bite and treat it as a filling of hunger. Let's endure hunger for a day, and wait until the night will be food again? Take the people away quickly. If things get bigger, we won't have any good results."
In just one day, the Korean soldiers stationed in the battalion of Xiajieyuli were hungry and held on their stomachs. On the hillside five kilometers south of Xiajieyuli, the soldiers of the Third Company of the Volunteer Army's Sharp Knife Company would eat a pine nut when they were hungry.
However, both of them eagerly hope that the US military transport planes can airdrop food as soon as possible, so that they can no longer worry about hunger.
