When I arrived at the shore, I raised my hand and let the troops stop.
"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will asked breathlessly: "Why stop, the submarine is there, don't let them run away!"
Instead of answering Major Will's words, I loudly ordered the soldiers: "Be ready for battle!"
"Yes!" Scar responded and soon set up machine guns, sniper rifles and mortars on the shore.
I don’t know why, but the British soldiers were very consciously obeyed my orders and set up various guns on the shore with the Chinese soldiers.
Maybe this is because they know in their hearts that we can injure this Argentine submarine entirely because of my command. Maybe they would still think in their hearts: If I had listened to Major Will's idiot's order just now, I'm afraid I'll be afraid
The Argentine submarine had already slipped away under their noses.
It is precisely because of this that they would rather obey my orders now.
The facts also proved that my choice was correct, and soon the British soldiers discovered that Major Will had just asked a very stupid question...
You should know that the temperature on this South Georgia island is several dozen degrees below zero. Although the submarine was stranded in the shallows, it is at least more than 200 meters away.
Moreover, these more than 200 meters are half a person high sea water... If we rush to the vicinity of the submarine, it is very likely that we would not capture the Argentine soldiers but would freeze ourselves to death. In the sea water of tens of degrees below zero, it would be
Not a joke.
On the other hand, do we still need to worry about the escape of Argentine submarines or sailors?
First of all, the submarine is obviously unable to move, so it is only a matter of time before we become our captive.
Secondly, the sailors in this submarine... the submarine is only more than 200 meters away from us. The assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles and mortars in our hands are enough to cover the entire sea without any cover. Unless the Argentine sailors
The choice to jump into the sea and was frozen to death. Otherwise, there is only one choice to surrender to us.
Besides, if we rush up and surround the submarine, it means we are standing in the cold water that cannot even lie down without any cover, while Argentine soldiers can use submarines as cover, and even on the submarines
There is an anti-aircraft machine gun. If there is a desperate Argentine soldier who grabbed the gun and fired at us... then we will all be finished.
It is precisely because of this that Tom whispered to other British soldiers: "I believe that if Major Will commanded us to the battlefield, we would most likely have to sacrifice our lives for the country!"
Major Will obviously realized this, and in order to cover up his mistakes, he loudly ordered the British soldiers to prepare.
Then Major Will picked up the horn and shouted at the Argentine submarine, which meant that the Argentinians in the submarine raised their hands and came out to surrender, otherwise we would have to open fire! But after shouting for a long time, he didn't see any reaction in the submarine.
.
"Sir!" Tom couldn't help but shout to Major Will: "I think they don't understand English!"
"Oh!" Only then did Major Will react and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Does anyone know Spanish?"
But it’s useless to ask this question. This is the army, except for the Chinese, there are British people. Who can learn Spanish after having enough food and have nothing to do?
This made Major Will and a group of British soldiers stumped. He stared at him and didn't know what to do.
"Wait for the Navy!" Major Will said: "I think there should be someone of them who knows Spanish!"
"No need to be so troublesome!" As I said that, I raised my head toward the scar next to me: "Get a few shots at them, be careful not to hit the submarine!"
"Yes!" Scar responded. He commanded several mortars and exploded several high water columns around the submarine.
This is undoubtedly the best threat. Submarines do not have as strong protection as tanks or warships. What's more, such a large target is so close that we can use mortars to destroy it.
.
So soon the cap of the submarine opened, and a white flag was stretched out inside, and then an Argentine sailor raised his hands and shouted while slowly coming out.
Although we don’t understand what he is saying, we can guess that it means “don’t shoot, we surrender.”
I am still very relieved about the surrender of Argentine soldiers, because I know that these white people, including the British, will not make unnecessary sacrifices if they realize that resistance is useless.
This is different from the Chinese and Vietnamese. It is precisely because of this that many tragic scenes appear on the Vietnam battlefield... Many times resistance is meaningless, but the soldiers still hold explosives bags.
, grenades rushed towards the enemy.
Sometimes I don’t know whether this is good or bad. From the perspective of humanitarianism or respect for life, there is indeed no need to sacrifice like this. But from the perspective of war, although it has no substantial significance,
But spiritually, it can shock the enemy and inspire comrades.
As I imagined, the Argentine sailors did not make any dying struggles, nor did they, like on the Vietnam battlefield, commanders would draw their guns and use death to threaten soldiers not to surrender.
They slowly climbed out of the submarine and lined up on the deck. When they walked out of the hatch, they threw the guns into the water one by one, so that we could rest assured, and then shouted at us a few more times...
At first we didn't know what they were shouting, but later when we saw them opening the life raft in slow motion, we realized that they were worried that we would open the fire and explained.
It should be said that they were over-concerned... At this time, we were not worried that they could still escape. You should know that this is South Georgia. Not to mention the fire blockade of our infantry company, we just say that there are British everywhere around them.
If warships and submarines were able to escape on a few life rafts, then Britain, the former empire of the sun never set, would be in vain.
There are seven life rafts in total, each carrying seven or eight Argentine sailors, which means that we have captured more than fifty Argentine sailors in one go.
This made Major Will so happy. He ordered his British soldiers to search the Argentine soldiers again and then take them into custody.
It was not until then that two warships and three helicopters rushed over from the sea. The British army on the helicopter poked their heads out and looked at the scene below in disbelief... An infantry company actually grabbed the submarine in front of them.
.
"This battle was very good!" Zhao Jingping sighed when he returned to the battalion headquarters: "This can also be said that we are lucky. We were able to find a submarine at this time. This made us a big shot.
*The team is so majestic!”
"Yes!" Scar nodded and said, "Look at those British guys, they looked down on us at first! Now they are all obedient to us!"
"I'm afraid it's not just the British guys we trained!" Liang Lianbing interrupted and said, "I think this matter is, I'm afraid the entire British team will spread all over!"
"That's not, we captured a submarine!" Zhao Jingping said: "Do you know how difficult it is to capture a submarine? This thing hides under the water all day long, and even if it is found, it is often bombed.
Destruction, few people were captured alive like this, especially at this time, the British needed to know some information about Argentine submarines!"
"Um!" I think it's true that Zhao Jingping said this. The British army's war on the attack on the Horse Island has not started for a long time. It was because we didn't know the situation of the Argentine submarine that we drove the fleet to the deep sea to hide. In other words, we
Now that a submarine is captured, it is just a timely help.
"Battery Commander!" At this time, Liang Lianbing came up to ask me: "You said... the submarine we captured should be worth a lot of money!"
"How do I know!" I replied angrily. When was it time? Liang Lianbing still had money in his head.
"Values of 200 million US dollars!" Lin Xia continued on the side: "I heard from Xu Jianping. He said that our Chinese advisory group has made great contributions this time!"
"Two million... or US dollars?" Lin Xia's words stunned the first person in the camp.
After a long time, Liang Lianbing said, "Then... the British guy will get a point, let's have a little bit!"
"What are the points!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but curse: "I'm Comrade Liang Lianbing, what are your thoughts? We are the army. Do you think this is the King of Mountain..."
Then there was a lot of bars and bars. I naturally didn’t care about all this, I only cared about one thing...that is how much impact this matter would have on the British fleet and how much attention would it attract from the top leaders.
I think no matter what, the British senior officials will meet me as a hero after this incident!
As expected, not long after, Major Will walked in with Xu Jianping in with a spring breeze on his face, and held my hand excitedly and said, "Comrade Battalion Commander, you're doing a pretty job! Do you know? We captured the Argentine submarine.
This incident has spread throughout the British fleet and even to Britain, and the entire fleet is cheering for us. Brigadier General Clap will meet us in person for this matter!”
"When?" I asked.
"Now!" said Major Will: "Prepare, the Navy's helicopter will come to pick us up soon!"
Actually, I don’t need to prepare anything at all. For those who are in the army, there is nothing except a few guns and a military uniform.
If I really want to say something to prepare, then I think I should think about saying something to this brigade general to attract his attention. This may be my only chance.
If I fail to seize this opportunity, my trip may just be successful in completing the training task. (To be continued...)
