Chapter 175 Surrender
"David, tell me about your current situation!" Moritz Drew, the top director, said. The main problem now is how to solve the situation facing the Aobo area.
David Thompson paused and organized his words: "The army of Tianyu Xinghai is expected to arrive at Aobo in 3 hours. At present, the situation is not good. I am not very sure that I can defend it!"
David Thompson's underlying meaning is that Aobo can't defend it. Either give up or send people to support it.
And who can come to support it? Only Raytheon, which is also in Ganguo, but the Naku area where Raytheon is located is nearly 1,800 kilometers away from here, so only the air force can be sent.
Hearing that David Thompson couldn't defend it, a hot-tempered director finally started to spray: "David Thompson, you are a waste. You have to bear all the losses of our company!"
David Thompson's face suddenly became ugly. No matter what, he is a well-known figure. How can he be abused in front of so many people?
However, he still forced himself to resist the counterattack. He took a deep look at the director who sprayed him.
"We can't bear to lose the SJM area. David Thompson, hold on and don't retreat. I'll find a way to get you reinforcements!" Moritz Drew finally decided to keep SJM.
He didn't care whether David Thompson died or not. What was important was the mine there!
"Okay, I'll stick to it!" David Thompson didn't even call Moritz Drew this time. He was determined to live and die with SJM and didn't want to do some superficial work.
After hanging up the video call, David Thompson asked his secretary to gather all his men and prepare to arrange the final defense.
Because there are many hills and trees in the SJM area, there are basically no large cities here, only small villages and tribes.
This was also David Thompson's intentional guidance before. After all, villages and tribes are easy to attack. There are no decent fortifications, and cannons can hit them accurately.
The scattered villages and tribes led to the dispersion of Westland's power in the SJM area, and soldiers needed to be stationed everywhere.
Now, after the battle with Tianyu Xinghai, there are only about 500 soldiers left. David Thompson also made a prompt decision to call back these soldiers scattered around the mine area and prepare to fight Tianyu Xinghai for the last time.
Soldiers were called back one after another, and the number returned to more than 1,000, and began to build fortifications around the mine area.
"General, why don't we just give up here!" Chief of Staff William looked at the fortifications that were built at the last minute and whispered to David Thompson.
As someone who just ran back from the battlefield of Kigani, he naturally saw that SJM couldn't defend Tianyu Xinghai!
"William, we have no way out! If we run again, will we run back to the country? The directors of the company will not forgive us!"
"But, we may not die, right? The main thing is that we really can't win!"
"Don't say it, the company has sent people to find Raytheon to rescue us, we just have to hold on for a while!" David Thompson interrupted William and continued to defend SJM.
William looked at David Thompson's decadent face, his expression was not very good, and he said nothing in the end.
The armored troops on Ma Tian's side also did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding situation while rushing on the road.
The drone had already taken off for warning, always paying attention to the surrounding situation, especially to prevent ambushes on both sides of the road.
Facts have proved that they thought too much. David Thompson's arrangement was to concentrate on defending the most important mining area, and he never thought of harassing Tianyu Xinghai's troops.
After all, not every force has the experience or idea of "sparrow war".
All the way to the most central mining area, the armored troops stopped and began to make the final preparations for the war through the situation checked by the drone.
The drone began to fly to the opposite position like a bee to check the situation, and the opposite air defense also began to shoot at the drone.
Although many drones were shot down, some drones survived, and some pictures were taken before they fell and began to be transmitted to the engineers on the display end.
After a while, a 3D map began to appear in front of Ma Tian, with landmarks of enemy fortifications and corresponding firepower marked on it.
"Commander, we are ready, please give us the next instructions!" Engineers at the front line were on standby with Ma Tian in the wireless communication.
"Stand by and wait for my order!" Ma Tian simply replied, and began to analyze the best attack route according to the map.
In his mind, like a sophisticated computer, he began to frantically calculate the match of the firepower of each coordinate of the opposite side, as well as the impact points of his own artillery and the various situations of the terrifying hell robot dog's surprise attack.
After a long time, he came back to his senses in thinking and began to sit in front of the computer to draw an offensive rhythm chart.
"The first team's T-X1 multi-purpose vehicle optimizes the target selection to attack A1, A2...A6, and conduct firepower coverage."
"The second team's T-X1 multi-purpose vehicle optimizes the selection of B1, B2...B5, and conducts firepower coverage."
...
"Before the second round of coverage, the terrifying hell robot dog follows the red line I drew. At this position, the 4 good type 1 ones fire the 12 zodiac bombs on their bodies!"
"The terrifying hell robot dog with smoke bombs comes to this position for me, and shoots the smoke bombs at the enemies in this ravine!"
...
Ma Tian issued the orders one by one over the wireless communication. After each team understood their attack route, the battle began.
The surface-to-air missiles on the T-X1 multifunctional vehicle first targeted Westland's position with fire coverage.
At the same time, the terrifying hell robot dog was also touching it at full speed...
On the Westland position, the soldiers buried their heads deeply in the makeshift trenches and plugged their ears tightly with their hands.
They had no choice but to hide in the makeshift fortifications dug by Tianyu Xinghai's firepower, not even daring to probe.
When the artillery fire finally stopped and the survivors just poked their heads out, the terrifying hell robot dog was less than a few dozen meters away from them.
The machine gun on the terrifying hell robot dog is still on fire, and combined with the aiming algorithm, it is like a harvest of leeks.
After a while, there were no more ones showing up.
Leng Feng and the others finally began to be useful. After they waited for the terrifying hell robot dog to pass, they began to pounce on them and clean up the surviving soldiers hiding in the fortifications.
Pull them out one by one and either shoot them or take them prisoner.
After a while, the defensive hilltop in front of the mining area was captured by Tianyu Xinghai, and behind the mountain was the mining area guarded by Westland.
Next to the mining area are the last three lonely houses in Westland. In front of the houses, there are some symbolic fences and some fortifications.
"Commander, there are only the last few houses left on the opposite side, please ask for next instructions!" Deep in the front line, Rao Shanhai, the temporary captain, reported to Ma Tian via wireless communication.
"Get a loudspeaker to persuade them to surrender!" Ma Tianxia ordered.
At this point where he must win, Ma Tian also wanted to minimize the loss of money and not go too far. There must be senior generals in the last house opposite, and the heads of these "big fish" must be valuable.
The frontline engineer did as he was told, tied a loudspeaker and used a drone to fly over the house, shouting:
“People inside, listen, you are surrounded by us, please put down your weapons and surrender, and we will spare your life!
There's no point in resisting. Think of your families! Think about your mother..."
"Think about the children you have never met. If you die, your wife will be someone else's wife, and your baby will be beaten by another man!"
"They sleep with your wife and beat your baby!"
…
The loudspeaker attached to the drone was broadcasting loudly, and the engineers who knew English were already laughing.
Leng Feng and the security team couldn't understand, but when the engineers translated, they all smiled widely.
Who on earth thought of the words of surrender.
The people in Tianyu Xinghai were laughing, but David Thompson in the house was already furious.
"Fake! Bichi! Houli Bengxuete!"
This Tianyu Xinghai is really nothing, and it actually disturbs the morale of his troops.
Also, are the soldiers in the front positions eating shit? How long did this last? A quarter of an hour? He was beaten here, what a waste!
The more David Thompson thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but look at his subordinates around him. His anger suddenly disappeared and he was stunned because he saw that his subordinates were all looking at him expectantly.
"General, why don't we surrender? I think Tianyu Xinghai is right. If we die, our wives will be advantageous to others!"
"General, there is an old saying in China: If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Now is the age of peace, and Tianyu Xinghai may not necessarily kill us!"
…
A group of people in turn began to persuade David Thompson. After all, there was artillery fire in Tianyu Xinghai, and everyone knew that holding on to the house would mean death.
If you can live, why should you die?
William, who was closest to David Thompson, even had a fierce look in his eyes. He was a man who was determined to surrender to save his life and would not accompany David Thompson to death.
And he had already said that he would escape by helicopter, but now it’s fine, and he can’t escape even if he wants to! If David Thompson refused again this time, he had secretly decided to capture David Thompson first and surrender directly.
David Thompson in front of him didn't know that his subordinates had other intentions, and he listened to his subordinates' words to persuade him to surrender.
His first thought was to curse the men who persuaded him to surrender. He said righteously that Tianyu Xinghai would not be so kind and that anyone who said anything that undermined the morale of the army would be shot.
But when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them.
He didn't say anything, just picked up the satellite phone and called Moritz Drew at the headquarters.
"Hey, Chairman, I would like to ask when our support will arrive?" David Thompson got straight to the point. The only hope now is support.
Moritz Drew was also heartbroken when he heard David Thompson's inquiry, and replied: "I discussed it with Raytheon an hour ago. Their plane should take off, right? You can hold on for another two hours. That’s it!”
David Thompson was speechless when he heard this. He persisted for 2 hours, and after 2 hours, the ashes were raised. He probably couldn't last even 30 minutes.
And even if they persist, are you sure that Tianyu Xinghai will not cover them with a round of firepower before leaving?
David Thompson didn't think his house was strong enough to be hit by a missile from Tianyu Xinghai's unknown car.
After hanging up the phone, David Thompson also made a decision in his heart and said to his chief of staff William:
"William, as an envoy, go talk to them and try to test what will happen if we surrender!"
William nodded and did not refuse.
Waiting to die here is also death. Being a messenger of surrender may give him a glimmer of hope. He had no reason to refuse.
Holding a white flag from nowhere with a wooden stick, William walked out of the house, shouting:
"We surrender, we surrender, don't shoot!"
"Go straight ahead and come to the intersection!" Rao Shanhai's voice came from the loudspeaker on the drone, and William did it.
Then he was detained and searched by the security team in the blind spot of the intersection and brought to Rao Shanhai, who was in temporary command.
Rao Shanhai frowned at William, the foreigner, and asked, "What are you doing here? If we surrender collectively and throw away our weapons, it will be a big deal. Are you surrendering alone?"
William waved his hand and denied, "No, no, no, I am not the only one surrendering. We surrender collectively. They sent me as a representative to ask how you will deal with us if we surrender!
You know, according to international conventions and humanitarianism, prisoners need to be treated well!"
Rao Shanhai looked at William, observing his expression to determine whether what he said was true or false.
During the wireless communication, Ma Tian, who heard William's words through the on-site microphone, also twisted his neck. This war can be declared over.
"Tell them that they will not be killed if they surrender, and as long as they are obedient, they will be guaranteed to be safe!" Ma Tian replied.
Rao Shanhai repeated what Ma Tian said, and William did not doubt it. After all, to put it bluntly, they did not seem to have caused any major losses to Tianyu Xinghai, and Tianyu Xinghai did not need to torture them to death.
Once again, if Tianyu Xinghai really wanted to kill them, there would be no need to go to great lengths to persuade them to surrender. A firepower coverage would be enough.
Tianyu Xinghai should not lack this little money for artillery shells.
William hurriedly thanked Rao Shanhai, racking his brains to say lifelong praise and flattery.
"Go, tell your people to put down their weapons and walk out in turn with their hands on their heads!" Rao Shanhai said. This was the most proud day for him in Ganguo. Listening to William's flattery, his expression could not help but become radiant.
William did as he was told, and hurried back to the house to relay Tianyu Xinghai's words to David Thompson, and the others also listened attentively.
Hearing that Tianyu Xinghai was not going to kill them, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and were ready to surrender their weapons according to the instructions.
William looked at David Thompson, and the surrender must have been led by General David Thompson.
David Thompson had a bitter face, so he could only throw down the gun in his hand, hold his head and lead the way out of the house.
Soon, hundreds of people began to walk out of the three houses one after another, holding their heads and standing in front of the houses one by one!
Leng Feng and his men carefully followed the terrifying hellhound with guns, surrounded and captured everyone.
And the fighter jets of Raytheon Company were still on the way...
