This night, we have never been so busy and so nervous.

Needless to say, the Argentine surrender army quickly developed from a dozen or dozens of troops to the surrender of an entire company, and the surrender army skyrocketed to more than 3,000 people in two hours. This led to the fact that all of us, including the officers, were busy receiving prisoners.

The reason for the nervousness is that at this time we can almost say that we have no defense.

You must know that we have only about 400 people in total, and there are more than 3,000 prisoners in need of guards, and the number is still growing. The most difficult thing was that it was still late at night, and late night meant that the visual distance was very short, so we had to arrange a large number of people to guard the prisoners, guard the guns and ammunition, and carry out the necessary search or placement of the prisoners.

At that time, our work was divided as follows: the training company, that is, more than 100 British troops led by Major Will, was used to guard the prisoners, SAS members were assigned more than 100 people to guard the guns and ammunition, and the search and placement work, and the remaining 100 people were responsible for defense.

In other words, there are only about 100 of us working on the defense, and I believe that this defense is not really useful at all.

The reason is very simple, more than 100 people in the training company guarded more than 3,000 prisoners, that is, an average of 20 per person, which can be said to be unimaginable in the dark night, even if we have automatic rifles in our hands, you must know that the British FN rifle has a shell capacity of only 20 rounds, which means that once the prisoners defect, we must ensure that each bullet destroys one and a half enemies.

It is precisely because we have to guard these prisoners that our forces are very scattered. At this time, if any Argentine army attacked us, causing a mutiny among the prisoners. Then the more than 400 of us will not make much use at all. Even if most of these 400 people are very good at military SAS.

In this state of high tension, we finally waited for the dawn, but the brightness of the sky did not make us feel relaxed, on the contrary, it became more nervous.

"How's it going?" Brigadier General Clapp asked me over the walkie-talkie.

"There are already more than 3,500 prisoners!" I replied, "This is beyond our control, and I'm not sure if there are any ill-intentioned people among these captives, so the general ......."

Then I lowered my voice and said, "If the Argentines find out that they have been fooled, we will be torn to shreds by them!" ”

"I know!" Clapp replied, "Colonel, if this happens, I allow you to use any means to control it. By any means! ”

I understand what Clapp meant, he just doesn't care about the Neizhwa Convention.

But the same cannot be said of the actual words, because if the captives mutiny, they will no longer be captives, so there is no question of whether or not to abide by the Geneva Conventions.

But the problem now is that even then we are in danger here, because we are now guarding more than 3,000 prisoners, and on the other side there are at least 4,000 heavily armed Afghan troops in Port Stanley who do not know if they will attack us......

Whether this "will" or "will not" depends entirely on whether this "general offensive" organized by Brigadier General Clapp can deceive the Afghan army.

"Woo" With the whistling sound of cannonballs, Port Stanley burst into flames again.

However, this time the bombardment was obviously not as strong as last night, because only three warships participated in the bombing...... At dawn, Crabp had to guard against the Argentine Air Force. Being able to dispatch three warships can already be said to be the limit.

However, the focus was not on the bombing of these three warships, but on the landing ships escorted by the warships. Like what was said before. These landing ships put on the appearance that they were going to land and fight.

Almost at the same time, rumbling artillery rang out from several other directions.

It sounded like a general assault on Port Stanley, but I knew that the sound of the cannon was still far away, especially to the north, and I almost wanted to rush over and catch the commander...... Don't they know that 100 mortars with a longer range can create such an atmosphere of soldiers coming to the city?!

Later I learned that it was the reason why the British commander in the north saved ammunition for 100 mortars, knowing that it was not easy to supply and transport on the Falklands, especially the shells of 100 mortars with a long range, and even they were reluctant to fight 82 artillery shells...... According to their thoughts, it was just a bluff anyway, and it was not enough to have the sound of artillery, so they bombarded it with 60 guns with a range of only more than 1,000 meters.

I almost vomited blood when I heard the sound of this cannon, and as long as a veteran with a little combat experience could quickly judge that the sound of this cannon was at least ten kilometers away.

But fortunately, not many of the Argentine soldiers would hear it, as can be seen in the panicked eyes of the Argentine captives.

I later learned that this was wrong, because the garrison at Port Stanley had retreating Albanian artillery, and it was not at all difficult for them to hear the name of the artillery.

But the problem was that the panicked Argentine soldiers simply did not listen to the explanations of the officers and artillerymen...... Even the Argentine soldiers would have thought that this was a trick by the officers and artillerymen to deceive them.

This may seem ridiculous, but it's understandable.

The reason for this came from two sources, one was that the officers had lost the trust of the Argentine soldiers, and they had even told them that the British could not travel long distances to fight on the Falklands, which was 13,000 kilometers away, but they were wrong. The officers had also told them that the Argentine navy and air force would send the British fleet back, but they were wrong.

Once trust is lost, it is difficult for soldiers to trust what the officers say.

Another reason is that the Afghan soldiers at this time are more willing to believe what they want to believe.

People have this inertia, once they have prejudice in their hearts, for example, the Afghan soldiers at this time actually wanted to surrender a long time ago, and this is a lie that we just gave them, that is, the British army launched a general attack on Port Stanley and the Afghan army could not hold it, then the Afghan soldiers are more willing to believe this view.

In short, because they were reluctant to fight, they preferred to believe that the British were on the ground and that defeat was assured.

It was not only the Afghan soldiers who thought this way, but also many middle and low-level officers, so when five Harriers and more than a dozen helicopters appeared in the sky to participate in the bombing, the Afghan army in Port Stanley completely collapsed.

"Colonel, look......" Just when I was still thinking about how the Afghan troops in Port Stanley would react, Major Will excitedly pointed in the direction of Port Stanley and shouted: "Look, they have surrendered, they have really surrendered!" ”

I raised my binoculars in the direction indicated by Major Will, and sure enough, I saw an Afghan soldier holding a white flag on the roof of a building on several floors, swaying desperately from side to side.

Only then did I finally let go of a large stone in my heart, and I was also relieved by the other warriors, and then soon a cheer rang out all around:

"Victory!"

"The war is over!"

"We can go home!"

……

"Colonel, incredible!" Major Will excitedly shook my hand and said, "You actually succeeded, you are a genius!" I've never seen anyone fight such a beautiful fight! ”

"Colonel!" Major Hill also shook my hand and said, "You were the one who ended this war, and I believe that you have saved many lives by doing what you did, both from the Argentine and British armies, and they owe it to you!" ”

"Colonel!" Angus also walked up to me and said, "Please accept my apologies, there is no doubt that you are a brilliant commander, and you have also made me realize that your head is the key to victory, and no one can compare to this!" ”

"Colonel, general's call!" The correspondent handed me the microphone.

"You did it, Colonel!" Clapp, who was on the microphone, said: "I just got news from the Air Force that the Afghan army in Port Stanley has raised the white flag to us. Colonel, congratulations, you have once again created a miracle, a port of stanley with more than a hundred people but able to take more than 7,000 enemy garrisons! And I still can't believe that this qiē is true, I can't believe that the victory came so suddenly, so easily, and this qiē is all thanks to you! ”

"No!" I said, "I'm just one of them, and the victory in this battle belongs to all the soldiers who participated in the battle!" ”

"You're right!" Clapp's voice was clearly forcibly suppressing his excitement: "I'm sorry, I have to report this to the Prime Minister, I'm sure she can't wait!" ”

No sooner had I put down the microphone than I was grabbed by a crowd of ecstatic British soldiers, and then thrown into the air again and again.

Of course, at this time, it cannot be said that the war is completely over, after all, Argentina still has combat effectiveness, and this combat effectiveness mainly comes from the air force.

But here's the problem......

The war between Britain and Afghanistan revolved around the Falklands, and now that the British army has obviously captured the Falklands and even surrendered most of the Afghan troops on the Falklands, then even if the Argentine Air Force is powerful, it will not help, and it can even be said that even if the Argentine Air Force can blow up the British aircraft carrier at this time, it will not change this fact, that is, the fact that the Falklands have fallen back into British military control.

In other words, at this point, it is really meaningless to continue the war...... Argentina's defeat is a foregone conclusion. (To be continued......)
