The landing area is open. The whole area is covered with white snow. It's wide enough for a helicopter to swoop down and pick up soldiers. The landing site was about 300 meters from the shelter where the soldiers were hiding, and about 500 meters from the landing site. Next to it was a tree with bright, straight trunks. The peak is completely covered with white snow.
As a result, none of the soldiers patrolling could see the enemy standing silently behind the trunk. of the lilac tree waiting for the opportunity to take the life of a brave soldier at that time....except for one new South Korean soldier. who joined in this deadly mission as well But he was in a state of fear and excitement, trembling, his throat constricted, unable to speak….
The sound of the helicopter's engine rotor grew louder and louder from the south. It made every soldier filled with hope. And it was so loud it almost shattered my eardrums as it soared over the landing area. which has a clear sign of readiness to land with gray smoke It was hovering and hovering in the courtyard.
As soon as the clearing signal was received from the ground forces, ...Ah..It was a suitable target position for the enemy's shooting range. Just right.... South Korean soldiers were inexperienced. Gather as much mindfulness and physical strength as you can to suppress fear. Shouting and warning fellow Filipino soldiers.
Türkiye and fellow Thai soldiers on the battlefield, the first three soldiers waiting for the moment to move out of cover. Clear the area and ran with his body bent down as fast as possible Heading towards the helicopter that Hoff was descending in front of right now....
“..Ya... Cha.... slow ka.n...mu.n. ! His fear spell was effective.. A loud cry Escaped from the throats of South Korean soldiers with difficulty.. Alas..it was too late...the shouts were not as fast as the soldiers' movement. The two guests, whose minds were now drifting back to their base.
They ran out of cover one after another as fast as mercury. He didn't mind the cries and shouts in Korean from his fellow soldiers. They were passing into open space. which is covered with white snow Head towards the hovering helicopter. Rappelling down the office
Ah... no matter how fast they ran, It could not be any faster than the rifle bullets of the Red Chinese soldiers who were now revealing themselves from The trunk of the tree that hides itself Aim the gun and wait for the fatal moment when the target enters the killing area.
Screech, screech!!..the sound of the explosion in the chamber of a rifle made in Russia. Loud in harmony with the sound of death-defying bullets. It pierced into the temples of the two unlucky soldiers in precise order. Their heads were taken aback. Their brains were hit by bullets that exploded with a loud noise. Pho. Pho!! It was like a watermelon being smashed.
The bodies of the two soldiers were bounced in different directions by the force of the bullet impact. Red blood mixed with brain fragments Splashes on white camouflage uniforms Some of it splattered the white snow all over the area where the two soldiers had fallen. Wriggling without a cry, moaning, suffocating, still at a time when gathered together just two blocks away from the plane waiting to pick them up....
Amidst the astonishment of his fellow soldiers, every soldier in the shelter saw his friend. The unlucky person died horribly before their eyes..not even the pilot who forced them to head puppet Lift your body up to avoid disaster in that emergency moment, feeling frightened...
But the Thai soldiers stopped as if they understood the meaning of the warning shouts. Turned into a regular rifle that was supported by America's major ally. Aiming at the source of the bullet following the instincts of a professional warrior. Perhaps the enemy snipers also miscalculated the number of allied soldiers....
Puk Puk ! A loud explosion sounded. Send the bullet in the chamber. Through a soundproof threaded barrel Charged straight into the enemy sniper's skull. In that moment, it was like a ghost had taken hold. A loud noise sounded like a coconut shell breaking.... and saw in the distance the head of the murderous Red Chinese soldier bouncing up.
Scarlet blood splattered out in a long stream, contrasting the white snow that covered the area. The body bounced out of the shelter of the shooting arch as if it had been pulled by the force of an elephant. It fell backwards, blood red, and it writhed and died instantly....
Thai soldiers were silent for a moment, patrolling security. Then lower the personal gun in the position of aiming from the shoulder. ...suddenly turned around and shouted insults and insults. with the southern Korean soldiers still in a state of shock, trembling, expressions showing signs of dazedness I don't understand the meaning of the dead Thai soldiers yelling at me...
“Dammit! You can speak Thai, but I won't tell you...."
Note: This story is based on a true story, but the author has added style. Storytelling style creates excitement and fun. In the South Korean language, the word “cha gamman” comes from the full word “cha gamman yo,” which has the same meaning as the word “slowly or wait a moment” in Thai. When spoken quickly, it will be heard as “chagamun.”
which has an accent similar to the Thai word "slow down..you" which has exactly the same meaning. The Thai soldier heard a voice shouting in Korean distorted into Thai, "Don't...slow down" (Ya...slow down..muen. means "Hey, slow down first"), so he stopped and did not run after the two foreign soldiers. from cover
and turned to return fire at the enemy when his two fellow soldiers were shot following the instincts of professional warriors, causing himself and the remaining soldiers to return home alive. This Thai soldier was therefore awarded the Silver Star Medal of Honor. be praised Honoring the reputation of South Korean soldiers for their ability to understand You can speak Korean very well even after spending only a few days together.
We would like to honor the bravery of Thai soldiers, Captain Pin Sukkha of the Little Tiger Battalion, Combined Regiment 21, brave soldiers in the Korean War here.
