Chapter 716: How Did You Know I Was Going to Kill Him?
After that, under the cover of the ferocious German artillery, only a few British officers and soldiers remained, who were either killed in battle or killed and wounded.
When he saw that the situation of the war was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, Chief of Staff John was also extremely depressed.
"How many troops do we have left?"
Then Chief of Staff John asked with a resolute expression towards Viscount Gort.
"Less than a platoon!"
Viscount Goth is also low-spirited, and irritable and frustrated.
"Let's surrender!"
Looking at Viscount Gott's annoyed and low-willed expression, Chief of Staff John was even more determined.
"Hmmm! Then let's kill one more German soldier later! ”
Hearing this, Viscount Goth felt as if he had been shocked by an electric current, and immediately said in frustration.
But he still acted according to the orders of the chief of staff, John, of course, he could oppose and not carry it out, but for this defeat, even if he could return to Britain safely and unharmed, he would not escape Churchill's punishment.
Therefore, for him, who pays more attention to his reputation, he would rather die on the battlefield than let his family be disgraced by his defeat and be ridiculed by other nobles.
Soon Viscount Gott gave the order to surrender, and also told the soldiers to lay down their weapons and equipment, so that the Germans could surround them.
When they were all disarmed, the commander-in-chief of the Brandenburg Special Division, Theodore von Shipper, the division commander LeBron James and the division commander Ernst, and the division commander of the German 1st Airborne Division, Richard Heydrich, also arrived in front of Viscount Gott and Chief of Staff John to accept the surrender of the other side.
Of course, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Airborne Assault Regiments, commanded by Colonel Karl, Colonel Hermann, Colonel Erich, and the 1st Airborne Machine Gun Battalion, commanded by Major Werner Schmidt; The commander of the 1st Airborne Armored Destroyer Battalion, Major Gerhard Brückner, and other high-ranking officers of the 1st Airborne Division, also followed the division commander Richard Heydrich for protection.
"You are the highest-ranking commander of the British army in the Channel Islands?"
Heydrich of the 1st Airborne Division asked as soon as he saw the chief of staff, Johann.
"Yes!"
Chief of Staff John replied without any concealment.
"What is your official position?"
Division Commander Richard continued to ask.
"Chief of Staff!"
Chief of Staff John agreed coldly.
"That's all you have left?"
Division Commander Richard glanced at the remnants of the British army that had been surrounded.
"Yes!"
"I hope you'll let them go!"
"If you are not satisfied, you can ask me for revenge!"
Chief of Staff John said with a sharp gaze at Division Commander Richard.
"I can let you go, but I need to be clear about your deployment in the English Channel, as well as the deployment of troops in the British mainland!"
Division Commander Richard also looked back sharply at Chief of Staff John and responded.
"Yes!"
"But you won't hear my report until you go to hell!"
Chief of Staff John stared, then quickly pulled out a sharp knife from his military uniform; Quickly attack the division commander Richard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang......"
It's just that before he could attack the side of the division commander Richard, the chief of staff, John, was shot by the officers behind the division commander Richard.
"How could this be, how would you know that I was going to kill him!"
Chief of Staff John was shot bloodied and puzzled.
"Because we have undercover agents in you, we know that you and Viscount Goth are just fake surrenders and want to kill us!"
Division Commander Richard said in a cold tone.
Then, with murderous eyes, he quickly drew his pistol and coldly pointed it towards Viscount Gott, who was preparing to sneak attack.
"Bang!"
As soon as a shot rang out, Viscount Goth immediately lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, slumped in a pool of his own blood, and cut off his breath.
"The men who left us, and a few officers and soldiers who were willing to tell us about the deployment of the British army, all the others were killed!"
Division Commander Richard then gave the order.
The order was given, and before the panicked British officers and soldiers could react, they were drowned out by the sound of rapid shooting.
When the gunshots passed, blood flowed all over the ground......
