Chapter 100: Opportunity

When I got to the shore, I raised my hand to stop the troops.

"Comrade battalion commander!" Major Will panted and asked, "Why stop, the submarine is there, don't let them run!" ”

Instead of answering Major Will's words, I gave the fighters a loud order: "Get ready for battle!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered the call and quickly set up machine guns, sniper rifles, and mortars on the shore.

I don't know why, but the British soldiers were also very conscious, so they obeyed my orders and set up all kinds of guns along the shore with the Chinese soldiers.

Perhaps because they knew in their hearts that we were able to damage this Argentine submarine was entirely due to my command, or perhaps they would have thought in their hearts that if they had just listened to the orders of Major Weir's straw bale, they would have slipped away under their noses by this time.

That's why they're willing to obey my orders.

My choice proved to be correct, and it was not long before the British soldiers discovered that Major Will had just asked a very stupid question......

You must know that the temperature on this South Georgia island is dozens of degrees below zero, and although the submarine ran aground on the shallows, it was still at least more than 200 meters away from us.

And more than 200 meters of sea water is half a human high...... If we rush to the vicinity of the submarine, it is very likely that we will freeze to death without capturing the Argentine soldiers, and it is not a joke in the sea water of dozens of degrees below zero.

On the other hand, do we still need to worry about the escape of Argentine submarines or sailors?

First of all, the submarine is obviously no longer able to drive, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes our prisoner.

Secondly, the sailors in this submarine...... The submarine was only about 200 meters away from us, and we had assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, and mortars in our hands. This firepower is enough to cover the entire uncovered sea. Unless the Argentine sailor chooses to jump into the sea and freeze to death. Otherwise, there is only one option to surrender to us.

Besides, if we rush up and surround the submarine, it means that we are standing in the icy water without any cover or even lying down, while the Argentine soldiers can use the submarine as cover, and there are even anti-aircraft machine guns on the submarines, and if any of the Argentine soldiers who don't want to die grabs the guns and shoots at us...... Then we're all done.

That's why Tom whispered to the other British soldiers, "I'm sure it would have been Major Will who had commanded us to go into battle." We may well be going to die for our country! ”

Major Will apparently recognized this, and in order to cover up his mistake, he loudly ordered the British soldiers to get ready.

Then Major Will picked up the little horn and shouted at the Argentine submarine, meaning to make the Argentines in the submarine raise their hands and surrender, otherwise we will open fire! I just shouted for a long time, but I didn't see any reaction from the submarine.

"Sir!" Tom couldn't help but shout to Major Will, "I think they don't understand English!" ”

"Oh!" Only then did Major Will react, and then shouted to the soldiers around him, "Does anyone know Spanish?" ”

But this is a question and a vain question, but this is the army except for the Chinese is the British, who eat enough and have nothing to do will learn Spanish.

This stumped Major Will and the British soldiers, and they didn't know what to do.

"Wait for the navy to come!" Major Will said, "I think some of them will be able to speak Spanish!" ”

"Don't bother!" As I spoke, I raised my head at the scar next to me: "Shoot a few shots at them, be careful not to hit the submarine!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered. Commanding a few mortars, he "roared" and exploded several high water columns around the submarine.

This is undoubtedly the best threat, and submarines are not as protective as tanks or warships. What's more, such a big target is at such a close distance, we can casually use mortars to destroy it.

Soon the hatch of the submarine opened, and a white flag was stretched out from inside, and then an Argentine sailor slowly came out with his hands raised and shouting.

Although we couldn't understand what he was saying, we could guess what it meant by "don't shoot, we surrender".

I was relieved that the Argentine soldiers had surrendered, because I knew that these Caucasians, including the British, would not have made unnecessary sacrifices if they realized that resistance was useless.

This is different from our Chinese and the Vietnamese, and it is precisely because of this that there are many tragic scenes on the battlefield in Vietnam...... In many cases, there is no point in resisting, but the fighters will still rush at the enemy with explosive packs and grenades.

Sometimes I don't know if it's good or bad, but from a humanitarian point of view or respect for life, it's really not necessary to sacrifice like that. However, from the perspective of war, although it has no substantive significance, it can mentally shock the enemy and encourage the comrades-in-arms.

Sure enough, just as I imagined, the Argentine sailors did not do anything to the death, nor did the commander draw his gun and threaten the soldiers with death against surrender, as was the case on the battlefield in Vietnam.

One by one, they slowly climbed out of the submarine and lined up on deck, throwing their guns into the water to reassure us as they came out of the hatch, and then shouted at us a few more times......

At first we didn't know what they were shouting, but when we saw them open the life raft in slow motion, we realized that they were worried that we would open fire and were explaining.

It should be said that they are overly worried...... At this time, we are not worried that they can escape, you must know that this is South Georgia Island, not to mention the fire blockade of our infantry company, let's just say that there are British warships and submarines everywhere, if they can escape with a few life rafts, then the British empire that once the sun never sets will be in vain.

There were seven life rafts, and each life raft carried seven or eight Argentine sailors, which means that we had captured more than fifty Argentine sailors in one go.

This made Major Will very happy, and he danced and ordered his British soldiers to search the Argentine soldiers again and put them into custody.

It was only then that two warships and three helicopters arrived on the sea, and the British soldiers on the helicopters poked their heads out in disbelief to see what was happening below...... An infantry company got ahead of them and captured the submarine.

"This battle is well fought!" When he returned to the battalion headquarters, Zhao Jingping sighed: "This can also be said to be our good luck to be able to find a submarine at this time, which shows the prestige of our Chinese army!" ”

"yes!" Scar nodded and said, "Look at those Brits, they looked down on us at first!" Now they are all obedient to us! ”

"I'm afraid it's not just these Brits we trained!" Liang Lianbing interjected: "I think this matter, I'm afraid that the entire British army will spread it!" ”

"No, we've captured a submarine!" Zhao Jingping said: "Do you know how difficult it is to capture a submarine? This thing is hidden under the water all day long, and even if it is discovered, it is often blown up, and it is rare to be caught alive like this, especially at this time, when the British need to know some information about Argentine submarines! ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Jingping said this, I think it's true, the British army's war to attack the Falklands has not started for a long time, it is precisely because I don't know the situation of the Argentine submarine, so I drove the fleet to the deep sea to escape, that is to say, after we have captured a submarine, it is just a matter of charcoal in the snow.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Liang Lianbing came up to me and asked, "You say...... The submarine we captured should be worth a lot of money! ”

"How do I know!" I replied angrily, when is this, this Liang Lianbing is still thinking about money in his head.

"Worth $200 million!" Lin Xia said on the side: "I heard Xu Jianping say that this time our Chinese advisory group has made a great contribution!" ”

"Two hundred million...... Or dollars?! Lin Xia's words made the first person in the battalion headquarters stunned.

After a long time, Liang Lianbing said, "That'...... No matter what the British say, let's score something! ”

"What points!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help scolding: "I'll just comrade Lianglianbing, what kind of thinking are you, we are troops, do you think this is the king of the mountain......"

And then there's a lot of bar-la-la-la-la, and I naturally don't care about this qiē, I only care a little bit...... That is, how much impact this incident will have on the British fleet, and how much attention it will attract from the top. I think no matter what, after this incident, the British high-level will have to meet me as a hero!

Sure enough, as I expected, it didn't take long for Major Will to walk in with Xu Jianping with a spring breeze on his face, and excitedly shook my hand and said, "Comrade battalion commander, well done!" You know? The fact that we captured the Argentine submarine has spread throughout the British fleet, and even to England, and the whole fleet is cheering for us. Brigadier General Clapp also met with us to thank us in person for this matter! ”

"When?" I asked.

"Now!" Major Will said: "You get ready, the Navy's helicopters will come to pick us up soon!" ”

Actually, I don't need to prepare anything at all, as a soldier, I can say nothing except a few guns and a military uniform.

If there's anything to prepare, it's probably to think I'm trying to say something to the brigadier general to get his attention, and that's probably my only chance.

If I hadn't seized this opportunity, my trip might have been just a successful training mission. (To be continued......)
