Chapter 662 The Governor Surrenders

Generally speaking, on the European battlefield, there are very few brutal battles. If you win, you will fight. If you don't win, you will surrender. It is not shameful to be a soldier. This is already a consensus. If you escape from the prisoner of war camp, go back If so, it will be more brilliant.

It is said that when the Spanish soldiers rushed into the Governor's Palace, the people in the Governor's Palace should surrender. Until now, there has been no brutal street fighting in the European battlefield! There has been no such brutal battle as a floor-to-ceiling scavenging.

Now, too.

However, the British did not surrender.

They were dressed in neat uniforms, they carried Lee-Enfield rifles with shining bayonets, and among them, the British Governor, Eddie, had drawn his saber.

"Come on, Spaniards, let's have a fair fight!" Brigadier General Eddie shouted to each other in Spanish.

Holding the machine gun, Colonel Pimente was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Okay, British, that's interesting, who's afraid! Regiment 262, get the bayonet!"

This is a gentleman's battle. Since the other party wants to engage in hand-to-hand combat, then he will accompany him!

Colonel Pimente wanted to put the machine gun aside and took a bayonet from his subordinates. As a soldier who came from that civil war, he was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all, and he even had a yearning.

Watching his bayonet pierce into the opponent's chest, especially the moment he pulled out the bayonet, the sight of blood rushing into his face, he will never forget it, he likes the bloody smell.

One by one, he unbuttoned his own buttons, ready for a big fight.

"Idiot, the other party is obviously out of bullets. We obviously have bullets here, why do we have to fight with them?" Just when Colonel Pimente wanted to do something, a voice came from beside him.

The consultant came over. After seeing the confrontation between the two sides, the consultant was immediately angry. Isn't this nonsense?

Who wants a bayonet if there are bullets?

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

Yes, they are out of bullets.

Their military preparations are very sufficient, but their main preparations are in the rocky mountain fortifications. The Governor's Palace here is usually only a security task at most. There is not much force in the guards under his command.

Rifle and machine gun bullets are common. In order to prevent the other party from rushing in, they almost gave all the bullets to the machine gun. Each person only has one magazine and ten bullets.

Therefore, they have no choice at all, put on the bayonet, and prepare to usher in the most glorious moment in their lives, and fight the Spaniards and die here!

The Spaniards on the opposite side were actually caught, and they also used the bayonet, ready to fight the bayonet with the British soldiers.

The soldiers of these Guards have solid military qualities. If they fight with bayonets, at least they won't suffer. Killing one is enough, and if you kill two, you will earn one!

Eddie also waved his command knife, hoping that he could kill a Spaniard. As the governor of Gibraltar, he can also be famous in history.

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!" said the advisor impatiently.

When Colonel Pimente, who was kicking the door, was stunned, the consultant thought it was a big deal.

You have bullets on your side, why do you have to fight bayonet with the other side? Isn't it stupid?

Get your machine guns up! The other side is standing in line now, and when they are shot, their side will fulfill them!

"Yes." Colonel Piment came back to his senses and picked up his machine gun again: "Brit, surrender immediately, or we'll shoot!"

Several machine guns are pointed at them, and all these British people can be wiped out by just clasping their fingers!

Eddie's heart is collapsing. He really wants to use his command knife to hack a few Spaniards to death, but now, as long as he charges forward, he will be machine gunned into a hornet's nest!

Right under the flag of the British Empire, they were going to have a lively battle, but now, they only felt sweat on their backs and chills all over.

"Don't surrender yet? Just shoot." When this voice came out, Eddie's hand threw the command knife weakly.

"We surrender, I am the Governor of Gibraltar, and I demand prisoner treatment that matches my status," said Brigadier General Eddie Walter.

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

"Victory!" There was a sudden cry from here.

Countless hands waved their weapons, forming a forest of guns on the square. Several Spanish soldiers ran over quickly, lowered the British flag and raised the Spanish flag.

Brigadier General Eddie was taken away. He turned his head and watched the rice flag slide down. He couldn't help it, and his nose became 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 the people in front: "I had long expected that the French navy would become an accomplice of Germany, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly!"

The fall of Gibraltar, for the United Kingdom, in addition to losing a colony, also has a more terrifying meaning: the gate of the Mediterranean Sea was closed by the Germans!

From then on, Britain will not be able to go directly to the Mediterranean Sea, and the supplies of the Middle East colonies need to detour to the southern tip of Africa. The fall of Gibraltar will hit the United Kingdom even more.

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

At this time, in the parliament, Churchill was still expressing his views in a righteous manner: "In fact, even if Gibraltar is in our hands, we cannot guarantee the safety of navigation in the Mediterranean. Spain takes off and attacks our merchant ships at any time, so we are unable to maintain the Mediterranean route after the loss of advantage on the European continent."

Churchill's remarks are of course trying to downplay the impact. Whether they fight or not, the result is the same. British merchant ships must be avoided.

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

Now, just to deal with the possible cross-sea landing of the Germans, it is already stretched, but also to organize the North African Army? The following was a burst of chatter.

"We can't see any hope of the fight now, so we might as well sign a peace agreement with Germany." At this moment, a voice came from below.
