Chapter 769 Surrender (Plus 10)

"Boom, boom." The diesel engine roared loudly, and the tracks of the Black Panther 3 tank rolled over the ruined city and moved forward.

Unlike the last rash advance, now, the German North African Corps has come to Tubrugg in an orderly manner. Next to each tank, there is an infantry squad accompanying and protecting them. The infantrymen hold the latest German The submachine gun followed the tank step by step, ready to continue to clear the remaining enemies.

"Boom!" The tank stopped, followed by a loud firing sound, a flame emerged from the muzzle, and a grenade flew towards the opposite half of the wall.

There may be an enemy hiding there, but it's better to knock it down!

Street fighting in the city should be done in this way, just like a bulldozer, pushing it all the way! Let the other party have no hiding place, and see how the other party conducts sneak attacks!

Sure enough, at the moment when the artillery hit the opponent, the commander saw a few people running out from behind the half of the wall.

Then, the machine gun in front of the tank rang, and in the chi chi sound like a chainsaw, several soldiers on the opposite side were hit and fell one after another.

The tank continued to rumble over and over the wreckage just now. The infantry stopped and looked at the clothes of the soldiers who were killed. They belonged to the Australian Legion again!

These Australians have a really strong will to resist!

As opponents, the German soldiers also admire these Australians, and because of admiration, they will be completely wiped out on the battlefield!

In the three directions, the German army is advancing steadily, step by step, step by step, they are marching forward steadily.

Throughout the city, gunshots and cannons rang out one after another. In the face of powerful German tanks, all resistance was destined to be a tragic suicide attack.

Two hours later, the white flag was waved on the opposite side.

"Listen to the person on the opposite side, I'm Klopp, commander of the Tobrug Fortress. I am now representing Tobrug's defenders and I have decided to surrender to you. Please give us the normal treatment of prisoners of war!"

The commander of the fortress, Klopp, had a white cloth wrapped around his head, and blood continued to seep out of it. At this time, he stood up and walked towards the German tank opposite.

Surrendered. As British soldiers, they fought this defeat. They are not ashamed. They have worked hard, but the firepower of the Germans is too powerful.

Continue to resist, only to be eliminated by the other party, it will not help.

The German tankers here stopped advancing, and in the open space in front, the British surrender ceremony was scribbled.

shore.

The sea was still lapping the shore, and in an inconspicuous corner of the port, an inconspicuous rubber boat was being gently rowed out.

There were several people sitting in the rubber boat. The one at the head was a one-eyed, and it was Wavell.

It was no longer possible to fight here, and could only surrender. Klopp had to endure the humiliation and burden. As Tobrugg's commander, he led his subordinates to surrender to Germany. At the same time, Wavell took several senior officers and left in the chaos.

Even if he commits suicide, Wavell cannot surrender. If he is captured, it can be said that it will bring a great shock to the United Kingdom. It almost indicates that the situation in the Middle East has been corrupted beyond control. Even the Supreme Commander of the Middle East has been captured. So what hope is there?

So, he could only run away.

The Germans were besieged from three sides on land, but the sea was not fortified, because their fleet existed at sea!

At this time, the sun has gradually set in the west, and it is about to fall into the night. It is a good time for them to leave. The Italian battleship appears in the distance. I hope they will not notice this little rubber boat!

The assistant was gently sliding the oars, but did not turn on the engine at the rear. For fear that the sound of the engine would disturb the distant battleship, they were like a leaf on the sea, floating gently and swimming.

Sure enough, there was no response from the other side.

The oarsmen rowed gently, and as they gradually moved eastward, they gradually became farther away from the Italian battleship, and the mood of several people gradually improved. In the west, the sun was about to go down, and it was easier for them to leave here once the night fell. .

Everyone's heart is heavy. As a commander, throwing away his own troops and rushing away from the enemy's encirclement in a small boat is simply a disgrace to the military!

Even if they were able to return to command safely, they would no longer be able to command troops, and they would be shameless themselves.

"I heard that in London, Montgomery will be sent over, and when he arrives, I will resign from all positions." The one-eyed Wavell said, at this time, his mood was very low.

If the Strait of Gibraltar is still under its control, it would be too easy to dispatch troops to the Middle East, but now, it is impossible for British merchant ships to take a huge risk to enter the Mediterranean from Gibraltar. Even if Gibraltar can come, the entire Mediterranean will be It is not safe anymore, the French fleet is at odds with the British and can be intercepted at any time along the way.

Therefore, Montgomery's troops, by boat, have to detour to the southern tip of Africa and make a big circle before they can come over. According to the time, it is the closest, right?

As soon as Montgomery came, he resigned from all his positions!

Hearing Wavell's words, Cunningham said, "No, General, you are the backbone of our Egyptian Legion, you can't leave. It's better for me to take over the responsibility."

As the commander of the Eighth Army, Cunningham was also quite depressed. He also lost his troops. This responsibility is up to him!

Just as he finished speaking, there was the roar of the engine in the distance, and in an instant, several people were shocked.

Seaplane!

The cross mark on the fuselage indicates that it is a German seaplane, and the Germans are so careful!

This is an accident.

The German Ar 196 seaplane is to perform the task of providing sighting to the artillery. It is said that after the shelling is completed, it has already returned.

However, at this time, a sailor had an accident on the German battleship and needed to be sent to land for treatment. At this time, the seaplane became a temporary taxi.

In the back seat, the sailor was clutching his stomach, and it was very painful. He also tried his best not to make a sound. At the same time, the pilot in front was flying to the hospital on land.

As a result, not long after takeoff, a rubber boat was found on the sea!

Almost completely subconsciously, the pilot pushed the lever, the seaplane dived, and then, aiming at the rubber boat, the pilot pressed the red button on the lever without hesitation.
