Chapter 130: Attack (4)
"And then there's the sir. After your surrender. You may not be able to keep that wealth. The lieutenant said again:
"Second Lieutenant Calles, I know this, I'm not the pedantic kind. This time, as long as I can survive safely, all the things outside my body will be given to these. Nothing here is as valuable as life, and my wealth in the country is enough for me to eat for a lifetime. Hearing the meaning of Captain Wang's words, the commander did not hesitate, and immediately said loudly, dispelling the concerns in the second lieutenant's heart.
"Okay, I'll take a few soldiers to negotiate with the other side. I don't think it's a big problem. We were the first stop on the other side's attack. The other side must also treat us well for the sake of future battles. The second lieutenant said again:
"Okay, from now on, I'll leave this matter to you. It's up to you for more than a hundred lives here." As he spoke, the commander stood up and took out his hand and handed it to the second lieutenant.
Soon the second lieutenant was accompanied by two soldiers. Wearing a white flag made of white shirts, he walked out of his position and walked towards the area controlled by the African People's Army. When they stepped out of their positions, they were spotted by the warriors.
This is a soldier who hurriedly ran to the temporary station of the battalion commander and said: "Report to the chief, the Portuguese in the opposing position are coming here like us with a white flag. The company commander asked me to ask you. What to do? ”
"What can I do, let him escort the man who flew the white flag to me. I personally interrogated me. The two asked the troops to pause the offensive. But always be vigilant. As soon as the opponent breaks through, he immediately attacks. Anyone who resisted at that time was killed. The battalion commander said:
Then the second lieutenant was escorted to the battalion commander's headquarters, and the battalion commander said straight to the point: "I don't know what your Excellency has come to me for. Surrender as soon as possible. If it's something else, you can go. ”
"Returning to Your Excellency Major, my general is willing to surrender, but I hope that your army can abide by the Geneva Treaty, and after we surrender, they will not abuse us, kill us, and humiliate us." When the second lieutenant heard the battalion commander say that he was going to surrender, he was secretly glad in his heart, but he said uneasily:
After listening to the second lieutenant's words, the battalion commander said angrily: "You can rest assured, we blacks will not be as cruel as you whites." Engage in racial discrimination and killing of people of color at every turn. After you surrender, we will abide by the Geneva Conventions. Keeping you safe. You will be released as soon as the war is over. Go back and tell your general. ”
Soon the second lieutenant passed the battalion commander's words to the commander as they were, and the commander took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Surrender to all. Everyone did their best. ”
Soon the commander surrendered before the battalion commander and was escorted to Durabo, who saw him and said, "Your Excellency, please order all the soldiers who are still resisting in your unit to surrender." ”
"What if I don't." The commander said:
"Then I have the right to send you to the battlefield again. We refuse to surrender alone to generals who do not value the lives of their soldiers. You can consider put. Durabo said:
"Well, I take your advice. But my radio station has been damaged by your artillery fire, and I can't notify the rest of the troops. The commander put on an innocent look and said:
"This is easy to do, as long as you can recite your radio password, our army has a radio station. I hope you don't play tricks, that we will never tolerate that. Durabo added:
"Don't worry, I'm already a prisoner. If you dare to play tricks, take me to your confidential room, and I'll inform them. The commander was very cooperative and said:
As the commander's coded telegram was sent, some of the Portuguese troops who were still resisting laid down their arms and surrendered to the nearest African People's Army when they saw that their supreme military commander had surrendered. Then the whole of Milepa stopped resisting, and the African People's Army successfully took control of the city of Milepa without any problems.
Milepa was given a week of resistance by the Portuguese governor in Mozambia, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. But in less than a day it was captured by the African People's Army. The top military and political leaders have become prisoners of war of the African People's Army. A large amount of subsistence has fallen into the hands of the African People's Army.
In this battle, the African People's Army destroyed 1,850 enemies and captured 532 prisoners. More than 2,100 rifles of various types were seized. More than 150,000 rounds of bullets of various calibers. 3,700 tons of grain were seized. 37 million yuan of the Portuguese currency escudo was seized. (1.02 million yuan and non-yuan) for the rest of the materials.
Durabo then ordered a battalion to enter the city of Milepa to take over the city's defence and reconstruction. And he rushed straight to the next target, Evenmari County. Intelligence officers told Durap that a Portuguese regiment and a servant regiment were stationed in the area, numbering about 5,000 men. But wait for Durabo to arrive. The entire Evenmaray County is already empty. Leave a mess for yourself.
In the end, Durabo, who saw that there was no one here, scolded wryly: "Gutless rats." Then he gave the order and continued the previous march in two directions, and continued the march directly south to Mataka. The other march was westward. The ultimate goal was Licoma County, which is close to Lake Malawi. And he led the main army to the south. After taking control of Licoma County, the Western Route forces turned east to attack Cabo Delgado Province. Drink horses there in the Indian Ocean.
Durab, who then marched towards Mataka, thought that there might be a fierce battle in Mataka. So the whole army marched with extreme caution. Fear of being attacked by the other side. But when Durabo approached Mataka, it turned out to be the situation in Evenmari County. No one is there. Eventually, Durabo found that it was five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. The whole army had been fighting for two days and one night in a row, and it was already sleepy and tired. So Durabo ordered the whole army to rest here for the night and continue the march tomorrow. But at the time of the rest of Durabo. The Portuguese, for their part, began to gather forces at Lumiar, 48 kilometres from Mataka, in preparation for a decisive battle with Durabo. At this time, 50% of the Portuguese forces were massed here. Among them were the forty killer weapons of the British-made MK1 howitzer. Therefore, the long-awaited battle of the conference is slowly moving closer to him.
