The signing of the book of surrender went very smoothly.
According to the provisions of the surrender, all Armenian troops stationed in the Malvinas Islands will go to the location designated by the British army to hand over their guns, ammunition, various weapons, and various war tools designated by the British army.
Of course, all Armenians will also be treated gloriously and enjoy all rights stipulated in the Geneva Convention.
The agreement officially came into effect at 23:59 on June 14th, and local time was 20:59. It is applicable to Argentine garrisons deployed around the Port of Stanley, east, west Malvinas and other outer islands.
Then, then
So that night, when the time pointed to 20:59, the entire British fleet was in full bloom.
"victory!"
"Long live Britain!"
...
"Finally..." Clap poured a glass of wine into my glass and said, "We have won, respect the UK, respect the friendship between China and Britain, respect the great Chinese people!"
"Welcome to everyone who has lost their lives in this war!" I raised my glass.
Clap couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded and said, "Treat to everyone!"
After taking a sip, Clap shook his head and smiled bitterly and said to me, "Col. Do you know? When signing the surrender letter, Major General Moore told Argentina's commander of the island of Zhuma in fact, your total strength was only more than 400.
When he is a human being, he will not believe this fact, and even thinks that we are intentionally insulting them."
I smiled distractedly. It is normal for Ajun to have this reaction, because no one wants to believe that his team of more than 7,000 people will be defeated and surrendered by more than 400 people. Believing this fact is equivalent to
Accepted the shame.
"But when Major General Moore told them our entire plan, they had to accept this fact." Clap said: "At the same time, the Argentine side also knew that there was someone like you. The commander of the garrison wanted to see you."
Sorry, we can't agree!"
"Yeah!" I nodded to express my understanding.
This is still a problem in international disputes, and it is even better for us to disappear if we can, because this is a war between Britain and Argentina and has nothing to do with our country, and we don’t want to be involved.
On the other hand, it doesn't make any sense to me when I see you. It's just that the commander of A's garrison wanted to see who was the one who defeated him.
"I have to tell you something." Clap continued: "Originally, the Prime Minister planned to invite you to follow our fleet back to England. She hopes that you will come to England to enjoy the honor of returning triumphantly and express your gratitude to you personally, but
…It’s obvious that your superiors don’t agree with this.”
"Oh!" I asked: "Is there any news from China?"
"Yes!" Clap nodded: "We just received an order forwarded by the British government and arranged for you to return home immediately. There is a saying in China that is... I'm right!"
"No!" I was quite surprised that Clap could also know our Chinese idioms.
"So!" Clap said with a smile: "Of course, your country will not give up any time that can be used by someone like the Colonel, and I would not!"
"Thank you!" I said, "Is there any time to be sure we will return home?"
After a while of silence, Clapper continued: "From General Woodward, I know that the colonel is not willing to stay in England and continue to serve as a consultant. In fact, from the beginning, I guessed that the reason why an excellent soldier is excellent
.It is because they will never betray their country at any time, so I respect your choice. But Colonel, if you have the chance to come to England one day, please remember that I am a friend, okay?"
"Of course!" I replied: "One day, if you have the chance to come to China, you must remember that you have me as a friend!"
"Of course!" Clap said: "At the same time, please believe that we will fulfill our promises to you before, just regard them as the British thank you!"
"Thank you!" I shook Clap's hand heavily. This sentence was what I wanted to hear the most. With the equipment given to us by British aid, I would not be in vain.
The next morning we boarded the helicopter back home. What surprised us was that there were so many British soldiers who came to see him off spontaneously, which made us unimaginable. The entire British army of the warship stood on the aisle and waited for
We shook hands, and even the British soldiers from other warships stood in rows of ships facing us, saluting us.
As for the training company we trained, let alone the entire company sent us to the helicopter. After we invited us to take a photo and asked us to leave the address, we reluctantly let us go.
We got on the helicopter, and then we lined up in an orderly formation before the helicopter was lifted off and greeted us and watched us leave.
"Damn it!" Liang Lianbing couldn't help but curse: "We still have ideas when we came. When we left now, we still don't want to leave!"
"Isn't it all the soldiers like this?" Scar tightened his coat: "After fighting a few battles, I naturally share life and death. How can I not have any feelings?"
Scar is indeed an explanation, but I know that this is not the only reason.
Just as Liang Lianbing said, they had thoughts about the British devils before they came, that is, they have always regarded the United States and Britain as enemies as imperialism, but they did not expect that after spending more than a month, they found out that Britain was actually
The soldiers were not what they thought, so this strong contrast formed a contradiction in their minds.
What they don't know is that the people of most countries are actually innocent and kind, and those who need to be responsible for historical mistakes are often those politicians with ulterior motives.
There was nothing to say along the way, just like when we came, we finally returned to Beijing after several twists and turns.
Although this is not the first time we have gone abroad to fight, when we stand down on the territory of our country, we still feel a sense of inexplicable reassurance in our hearts... Everyone may say the same sentence in their hearts.
Finally came back alive.
To be honest, this time going abroad should be the least dangerous one, such as the previous self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and the fight against the Soviet devils in Afghanistan... These two times can be said to be threatened by life almost every day, and
During this time when we went to Argentina as consultants, the only ones that were really dangerous was actually the last few days. At other times, even if the warships were bombed by the Afghan Air Force, there was no danger. You should know that the British army only had the entire Cabernet War.
There were 255 people dead, and the few of us, the twenty-somethings protected by the British army, were too few to die.
However, although the danger is small, life is only once. Whether it is a bullet or a small fight, as long as it is a threat to life, it will make people feel like walking in front of the gates of hell, let alone the battle in Port Stanley
It really made me, the veteran, nervous for a while.
"You boy!" When Commander Zhang saw me, he couldn't help laughing: "I just sent you to see the details, and you really brought the British to fight, and you took a company to do it.
You can capture more than 7,000 enemies, you are there!"
"Not that great!" I replied modestly: "That's all because the British devils won the battle, and the Argentines became frightened birds, otherwise I would not have the ability to take more than a hundred people to capture them.
More than seven thousand people!"
"Wait and talk!" Commander Zhang laughed, and casually invited me out of the office with a document from his hand.
While walking, he said, "Everyone is waiting for you, but finally I've waited for you!"
"Wait for me?" I couldn't help but feel a little confused when I heard this.
What are you waiting for me? And who are these guys?
But I soon thought that what Commander Zhang said was probably a senior cadre of a level like Commander Zhang. The reason for me was to hear me tell the battle situation on the Horse Island in detail.
My guess is half right. These "everyone" are indeed correct, but they didn't want to hear me tell the details of the battle situation on the Horse Island.
In fact, our country's emphasis on the Falklands War can be said to be that except for Britain, Agriculture, the United States and other countries that directly and indirectly participated in this war, almost no country can compare to us.
There is no need to say much about the reason. Just as Commander Zhang said before, the Battle of the Horse Island can almost provide us with a practical military exercise to regain Taiwan, and it is also an excellent reference for developing arms.
It is precisely because of this that in fact, when I was still fighting on the Malay Island, domestic senior cadres had already learned about the battle situation on the Malay Island as much as possible through various channels.
So when it comes to the battle situation on the island of Mount Hokkien, they know not much less than me.
As expected, things were as I thought. The jeep drove all the way to the Jingxi Hotel. The commanders, commanders and staff members in the conference room had long been red in their faces of debate.
When everyone saw me walking in, they couldn't help but stop arguing and greeting me:
"Comrade Xiao Yang is back. This battle was fought beautifully!"
"Good job, Captain Yang, this time, it's the most people among us who have a face!"
"Yes, I'll show the majesty of the most of us!"
"The British government praised you very much, and immediately agreed to sell gun-aising radar and ship-air missiles to us!"
...
As for me, although these leaders are familiar with each other, they have seen them several times in the venue, but they have long forgotten all the names and so on, so they have to call out "Chief" in embarrassment
", Anyway, I was still a battalion commander at this time, and the people here are really my commanders. (To be continued...)
