Chapter 660: The Governor Surrenders

Generally speaking, on the European battlefield, there are very few brutal battles, if you win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will surrender, as a soldier is not ashamed, this is already a consensus, if you run out of the prisoner of war camp, go back, it will be more glorious.

It is said that when the Spanish soldiers stormed the Doge's Palace, the people in the Doge's Palace should have surrendered, and there has been no brutal street fighting in the European battlefield until now! There has never been such a brutal battle as the clearing of floors.

Now, too.

However, the British actually did not surrender.

They were dressed in crisp uniforms, and they carried Lee-Enfield rifles with shiny bayonets on them, while in the middle of them, the British Governor, Eddy, had drawn his saber.

"Come, Spaniards, let's have a fair fight!" Brigadier Addie shouted to the other in Spanish.

Holding the machine gun, Colonel Piment first froze, and then reacted: "Okay, British, it's interesting, who is afraid!" 262 regiment, on bayonets! ”

This is a gentleman's battle, since the other party wants to engage in white-knuckle combat, then he will accompany him!

Colonel Piment wanted to put the machine gun aside and take a bayonet from his men, as a soldier who had come from that civil war, he was not afraid of white-knuckle combat at all, and even had a yearning.

Watching his bayonet plunge into the opponent's chest, especially the moment he drew the bayonet, the sight of blood rushing to his face, he will never forget, he likes the smell of blood.

One by one, he unbuttoned himself and prepared to do a big job.

"Stupid, the other party is obviously out of bullets, we obviously have bullets here, why do we have bayonets with them?" Just as Colonel Piment was about to make a move, a voice came from beside him.

The advisor came over, and when he saw the confrontation between the two sides, the advisor immediately became angry, isn't this nonsense?

If there is a bullet, who wants to fight for a bayonet?

Hearing the other party's words, Eddie was stunned for a moment.

Yes, they ran out of bullets.

Their military preparations are very sufficient, but their main preparations are in the rock mountain fortifications, the governor's palace here, at most the task of security in peacetime, and there is not much force in the guards under his command at all.

Rifle and machine gun bullets are universal, in order to prevent the other party from rushing in, they almost all the bullets are evenly distributed to the machine gun, each person only has a magazine, ten rounds only.

So, they simply had no choice, loaded with bayonets, and prepared for the most glorious moment of their lives, and the Spaniards, to die here!

The Spaniards on the opposite side actually got on the trap, and they also put on bayonets, ready to fight the British soldiers with bayonets.

The soldiers of these guards have a very solid military quality, and if they fight with bayonets, at least they will not suffer losses, one is enough to die, and two will earn one!

Eddie also wielded his command knife, hoping that he would be able to kill a Spaniard and make a name for himself as the governor of Gibraltar.

But now, the words on the other side suddenly shocked him, and someone actually saw through their tricks!

"Pick up your machine guns, and if they don't surrender, fire at once!" The advisor said impatiently.

When he saw Colonel Piment, who was kicking the door, he was stunned, and the adviser thought it was a big deal, and he had been fighting for a bayonet for a long time.

You have bullets, why do you have to fight with the other side with bayonets? Aren't you stupid?

Pick up your machine gun! The other party is now standing in line, waiting for the shot, and the other side will fulfill them!

"Yes." Colonel Piment came to his senses and picked up his machine gun again: "British, surrender immediately, or we will shoot!" ”

A few machine guns are pointed at them, and with a snap of a finger, they can wipe out all these Britons!

Eddie's heart was shattering, and he wanted to use his command knife to hack a few Spaniards to death, but now, if he rushed forward, he would be beaten into a hornet's nest by machine guns!

Right under the banner of the British Empire, they had intended for a hearty battle, but now, they only felt sweat on their backs and chills all over their bodies.

"Still not surrendered? Shoot it. When the voice came out, Eddie's hand weakly dropped the command knife.

"We surrender, I am the Governor of Gibraltar, and I demand to be treated as a prisoner commensurate with my status." Brigadier General Eddie Walter said.

If he died in battle, he could still accept it, but now, he was at risk of being slaughtered, so he had no choice but to surrender.

"Victory!" Suddenly there was a shout.

Countless hands brandished weapons, creating a forest of guns in the square, and several Spanish soldiers quickly ran over and lowered the British flag and raised it.

Brigadier Addie was taken away, and he turned his head to watch the rice flag slide down, and he couldn't help it, and his nose was sore.

The British Empire has entered the twilight!

"The main reason for the fall of Gibraltar is the betrayal of the French Navy!" In the parliament, Churchill stood at the front and shouted loudly to those in front: "I had long expected that the French Navy would become an accomplice of Germany, but I did not expect that they would come so quickly!" ”

The fall of Gibraltar, in addition to the loss of a colony, had an even more terrible meaning for Britain: the door to the Mediterranean was closed by the Germans!

From then on, Britain will not be able to go directly to the Mediterranean, and the supplies of the Middle East colonies need to make a detour to the southern tip of Africa, and the fall of Gibraltar will hit Britain even harder.

In this way, it will be more difficult for Britain, after all, Britain now needs those supplies from the colonies even more!

At this time, in Parliament, Churchill was still speaking his opinion solemnly: "In fact, even if Gibraltar is in our hands, we cannot guarantee the safety of navigation in the Mediterranean, and German fighters can take off from France and Spain and attack our merchant ships at any time, so we can no longer maintain the Mediterranean route after the loss of superiority on the European continent." ”

Churchill's remarks, of course, are trying their best to downplay the impact, whether they fight or not, they are all the same result, and the British merchant ships must go far away.

"Now, we must see that there will definitely be a war in North Africa, in Egypt, and I suggest that we immediately form a legion to support Africa and try to protect our colonies." Churchill continued to speak.

Now, just to cope with the possible cross-sea landing of the Germans, it is already stretched thin, and to organize the North African Corps? There was a burst of conversation.

"We don't see any hope of fighting now, so we might as well sign a peace agreement with Germany." Just then, a voice came from below. 8)
