Chapter 101: Surrender
After the avalanche, everything became silent, the gunfire of Miller's rifle stopped, the grenade explosion stopped, the roar of MG08 stopped, even the wind seemed to stop, and the white clouds in the sky silently watched the snow-white valley.
The snow and fog had sunk, and the valley was flat, with no moving figures in sight, for the young beings had been frozen forever under the icy snow, and perhaps their desperate and helpless faces would not be revealed until the snow melted next year.
There was no need to continue this battle, and all the fighters put down their weapons and stood silently, whether they were the survivors of the Revolutionary Army or the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion.
The forces of nature made both sides of the undying world feel powerless, especially Lieutenant Colonel Horay.
The 3rd Company was finished, and the 2nd Company prepared for the starting position was estimated to have suffered heavy losses, and looking at the snow and fog that was still permeating in the distance, Lieutenant Colonel Horay knew that the 4th Company of the detour was estimated to be difficult to spare.
When he came, he was in high spirits, and more than 600 elite soldiers who were brave and good at fighting were now estimated to be no more than one-third left, and such losses could be said to be the first time since the establishment of the Iron Wolf Division.
Lieutenant Colonel Horay was tempted to pull out his pistol and aim it at his temple, because it was really hard for him to accept such a defeat.
Non-battle defeat, if this is a defeat to the opponent in a duel, he Lieutenant Colonel Horay has nothing to say, but it is clear that victory is in sight, as long as he is given 1 hour, no, maybe only half an hour, then his troops are estimated to have stood in front of the enemy and cheered at this time.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
"It's my fault, I ignored the impact of the environment on the battle, I should have thought that on the snowy mountains, the biggest enemy is not the opponent, but the avalanche. The victories that have been all the way have made me ignore the military regulations and forget the teachings of the old-timers. ”
"I deserve to die, I should be buried under the snow waves, not these fearless children."
"But can I die? What about the rest of the children? I brought them out, but ......"
Lieutenant Colonel Horay's hand on the holster trembled and hesitated.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has made a move."
At this time, the commander of the 3rd Company first spotted the enemy who was operating rapid-fire weapons on the opposite side and began to move again, if they still stood like this, it is estimated that as soon as the gunfire on the opposite side rang out, few of the remaining soldiers would survive.
"Raise the white flag, we have failed, let the children surrender with dignity!"
Following the instructions of the commander of the 3rd Company, Lieutenant Colonel Horley also saw the revolutionary army on the opposite hill beam, and he knew that there was no other way for them but surrender or death.
Perhaps he could flee back with the rest of the warriors, after all, with the speed of their march, the people on the opposite side simply could not catch up.
But will he be able to bring these remaining warriors back to the Empire?
No, because they failed, not only was it a shameful non-battle defeat, but the military order they made before their departure made them unable to turn back.
Returning to the Empire, what awaits these remnants of the defeated army is not sympathy or consolation, but the trial of the Imperial Military Tribunal.
Those high-ranking people of the empire, those nobles, and those military judges couldn't let go of their losers for any reason.
What's more, Lieutenant Colonel Horley knows one thing better, that is, the banner of the "Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion".
The reason why this team, which should have been deleted by the Imperial battle sequence, can still exist in this name is that it has been victorious.
But now that they have been defeated, they have been so shamefully defeated, even if the military judges let them go, and the result that awaits this team is that it will be decommissioned, and the banner will be ruthlessly thrown into the furnace.
What is the meaning of the existence of the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion, it is the inheritance of this team, and if this inheritance is lost, these iron-blooded warriors will lose their souls, even if they leave this body to drive the shell, what is the use.
What is the meaning of a warrior's life, what is the meaning of a warrior's battle, not money, not power, but the honor of blood, but when this team is crossed out of the battle sequence, then the shame will always be engraved on these warriors.
If it weren't for this reason, not to mention that there was still a chance to escape back, as long as the empire did not cancel their establishment, even if the fighters of the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion fought to the last man, it would be impossible to surrender.
Two hours later, Lieutenant Colonel Horay surrendered with the rest of the fighters, and during the negotiations, Lieutenant Colonel Horay did not ask for any good treatment, but only said a word to Major General Opral, who had come to surrender.
"Your Excellency, I have only one request, and that is not to let my soldiers lay down their weapons, even if they will turn their guns on their former colleagues in the future, as long as the banner of the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion does not disappear, I guarantee that the children will definitely obey your orders."
Lieutenant Colonel Horay's request was excessive, but it was also very tempting, because it was rare for the surrendering team to keep their weapons, but according to Lieutenant Colonel Holey's final meaning, they did not surrender, but surrendered, although there was only a word difference, but the meaning was completely different.
"I promise you, Lieutenant Colonel. Because I was also a member of the Invincible Iron Wolf Division, because I also made compromises in order to keep this banner. ”
Looking at the officers and soldiers in front of him, who were still standing straight despite the messy organization and had accepted defeat, Major General Oprah handed back the command knife that Lieutenant Colonel Holley had given him just now.
"What, Your Excellency Major General, you are also ......"
Major General Oprah's words surprised Lieutenant Colonel Horay, not only because the Major General accepted his request, but also because the Major General actually said that he was also a member of the Invincible Iron Wolf Division.
"Yes, my full name used to be Pumi. Jones. Opral. ”
Major General Oprah knew why Lieutenant Colonel Horray was confused, because the name he used to have had since he left the Invincible Iron Wolf Division.
"Ah, you're the blood wolf Pumi. Salute, junior Horay. Douglas salutes Lieutenant Blood Wolf. ”
"Salute, junior salute Lieutenant Blood Wolf."
The voice of the major general who said his full name was not very loud, but in this silent environment, the officers and soldiers of the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion in front of him could hear it clearly, and when this name reached everyone's ears, all the officers and soldiers of the pioneer battalion had shocked looks on their faces, and they all raised their guns with Lieutenant Colonel Holley solemnly saluted Major General Oprah.
Lieutenant Blood Wolf, this title is hung high on the wall of the Pioneer Battalion's secret honor room, except for those legends of the Miller the Great's era, this is the last legend of the Invincible Iron Wolf Division.
Looking at the tall old man with gray hair in front of him, although he couldn't be connected with the immortal legend in his mind at all, everyone knew that there was no need for the other party to impersonate at this time.
"Yes, Blood Wolf, this title that has been with me for many years has always been the most glorious and painful mark in my memory."
Looking at these officers and soldiers who were looking at him with reverence, Major General Oprah said a contradictory sentence with emotion.
