Five minutes passed quickly, and there was still no movement on the Argentine army.
At this time, I could see Major Hill and Major Will's faces full of disappointment, but I was still unwilling to give up and asked the guide to finally shout at the Argentine army: "Time is up, I'm sorry we didn't reach a consensus, we
I have to continue to treat you as enemies..."
"No, no..." Before the guide could finish his speech, Ajun responded: "We surrender, but you must ensure our safety!"
"Of course!" I replied.
In fact, at this time, we have no ability to ensure their safety at all. We, who have no more bullets, cannot even protect ourselves.
But of course I wouldn't answer like this. After a glance at the two majors beside me, I asked the guide to respond: "You can rest assured about this, you also know that the UK is a very prestigious internationally
Great powers, so it is obvious that if we do not abide by the Geneva Convention, it will definitely affect our international image. What's more, we don't have to do this, right? There is not much hatred between us!"
Ajun was silent for a while, and then someone replied: "Okay, I am Lieutenant Colonel Rosas, don't shoot, we're coming out!"
At this time, Major Will also became smarter and deliberately gave the order "Don't shoot" loudly to his subordinates.
After a while, two people crawled out of the bunker with guns, and then more and more people followed them in a not-too-neat formation.
Major Hill did not dare to neglect at this time. With a wave of his hand, he led two teams of sas with guns to surrender. Several of them could not even wait for the Argentine soldiers to put down their weapons. He directly pulled them from their chests.
Leaving the magazine.
I can understand the urgent mood of these sas players. You must know that what we lack at this time is ammunition. If something happens at this time, such as some of these prisoners and some people repent or a new army appears around us
It's not easy to deal with, so the most important thing is to replenish yourself with ammunition.
But I think they are doing something stupid, because this is clearly telling these Afghans that we were not inadequate in ammunition.
So when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but be shocked by their actions... If the surrendered Japanese devils are the ones who have surrendered, I think I will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. You must know that the gun is still in their hands now
And we are very close to each other, and after a charge, it will be a hand-to-hand combat.
Fortunately, what we are facing is not the Vietnamese Japanese, but the Argentine soldiers who are determined to go home to meet their relatives... Soldiers who have no intention of fighting are basically harmless on the battlefield, not only harmless. If anyone wants to
If they want to do something, they will even take the initiative to help us successfully complete the surrender for their own safety reasons.
For example, Major Hill noticed that several Ah Jun lowered his voice and argued, and for safety reasons, he immediately asked the sas team members to bring those people out of the team.
Of course, this approach is very necessary... Most of us don't understand Spanish. If these soldiers use this to discuss with each other how to do badly or incite collective riots, it would be bad for us.
It's right.
But after we found a guide and translated their words, we realized that this was a misunderstanding.
The reason for their dispute was that one of them secretly hid the bayonet... The reason for his doing this was just a stupid thing he did without a sense of security. When his comrades found out, they immediately advised him not to do this.
Because it could kill them all.
So the surrender work went smoothly. After more than ten minutes, piles of rifles and ammunition were piled up in front of us, and more than 400 prisoners were taken to the side of the road and squatted by the sas team members.
"It's incredible!" Major Will shook his head and said, looking at his subordinates who were busy replenishing ammunition, "I can't believe that all this is true, Colonel. You are simply a magician, a magic on the battlefield
division!"
"Colin!" Major Hill walked up to me and nodded: "It's hard to imagine that you have succeeded. We sas have always claimed to strive for the greatest victory at the smallest price, but you taught us a lesson today, a wonderful class.
In class, you let us understand what is really 'struggle for the greatest result at the lowest cost', well done!"
"What should we do now?" Major Will raised his head to the black prisoners squatting beside him, and then asked in a low voice: "We can't get to our destination as fast as possible with them!"
I know what Major Will is referring to. It is of course a good thing to recruit these more than 400 Argentine soldiers, which makes us not only not have to fight with them but also easily replenish ammunition from them.
But the problem is... our plan is to cross the Afghan artillery position and then rush to the coastline within the designated time to escape. Now we are escorting so many prisoners, let alone rush to the coastline on time, and want to get rid of other Afghans.
It's difficult to chase and kill.
"This..." I felt embarrassed by Major Will's words. I didn't expect this problem just now.
"Let them go!" Major Hill suggested.
"But..." Major Will opposed: "We were just ensuring their safety. If they were left, do you think they would be safe?"
Major Will is right, you should know that this is a battlefield, and it is very likely that he will be dealt with by military law when he refuses to let go of the enemy without taking off his gun. Therefore, it is really unreasonable to release these prisoners at this time.
"What else can it be done?" Major Hill replied: "We have our own tasks now, we have to do it, otherwise we will die with them!"
Major Hill is right. In this case, of course, it is necessary to save yourself first. Moreover, even if we stop or walk with our prisoners, it will not solve the problem, because the result of doing so will eventually fall into it.
Our lies will soon be broken in the hands of the Argentine army.
So it is obvious that the prisoners’ decision to surrender before was wrong. They believed our lies and now they have to pay the price for their wrong decisions.
Although I didn't want to do this, I nodded in agreement with Major Hill's statement.
However, just as Major Hill led his guide to announce this cruel decision to the captives, a few more Spanish sounds suddenly came from the darkness: "Don't shoot, we are here to surrender!"
The guide's translation made us stunned, and this accident also stopped Major Hill from walking.
What surprised us even more was that there were few people who came to surrender this time, with two companies.
It turned out that when the more than 400 Afghans, Lieutenant Colonel Rosas, surrendered, some of the Afghans who had not made up their minds left the army and ran towards Port Stanley. Before they could run back, they encountered it.
The Ah Jun, who was used as a reserve team, finally explained the situation on the front line... The Ah Jun, who had no intention of fighting, decided to surrender voluntarily after discussing it.
I can understand this, because if the situation is really as we said, Port Stanley has been surrounded and the British army has launched a general attack, Port Stanley is in danger.
From the standpoint of the Argentina, their situation is quite serious: the island of Horse Island is more than 500 kilometers away from Argentina, and the British special fleet also won a comprehensive victory in the sea and air battle around the island of Horse Island, which means that the horse
The island has become an isolated island, and the Afghan army stationed here will not have any reinforcements. Until now, it is difficult to obtain even supplies, because it turns out that the British Harrier has been dispatched at night.
Therefore, for the Ajun, the earlier they surrender, the safer they mean, or it can also be explained that if they stay in Port Stanley, there will be no meaning except that they cannot live with their own lives.
So now we are having a big time. In a short while, the captives changed from more than 400 people to more than 700 people. What surprised us even more was that the number of people was still growing...
Later, when I remembered this battle, I realized that Ajun on the Horse Island was actually a frightened bird.
In fact, this cannot be said to be entirely because of the fault of these soldiers. You must know that they are all young people who have never been on the battlefield, and they are young people who are excited after being inspired by the Afghan government.
I have been on the battlefield for so long and I know very clearly that soldiers who go to the battlefield due to encouragement should join the war immediately... The reason is that such morale is temporary. If you don't join the battle immediately, then
It won't take long for the enthusiasm to fade away, the mind will be clear, and then you will start to regret it.
However, these young Argentine soldiers on the Cavalier Island were stationed on the Cavalier Island for two months, and they watched their navy and air force be defeated by the British.
So it's natural that the will to combat has been wiped out so little that they heard that the British army had surrounded Stanley Port and launched a general attack, and in the end, they came to surrender from all directions.
live.
"What should I do now?" Major Will asked us with a wry smile: "Are you going to let the prisoners go?"
"Of course not!" Major Hill replied, looking at the piles of captives that were growing, "If we do this, obviously there will be no more captives to surrender!"
I nodded: "We should report this situation to our superiors. The original breakthrough plan now seems to be changing into an offensive plan!"
This was really beyond my expectations. I really didn't expect that the lie I used for emergency response triggered the surrender of teams of Ah Jun.
And foreseeable, I think this will be the battle I have captured the largest number of prisoners. (To be continued...)
