Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Frank died. He maintained his dignity by committing suicide.

    When the news reached Don Tanner¡¯s ears, the American general just sighed softly and didn¡¯t say much.  Maybe it won't be long before I meet General Frank.  Of course, it's in a place I don't want to go.

    The battle outside the Southampton City Hall was very fierce. The attacks of the Axis forces were getting higher and higher. The U.S. military was resisting very tenaciously. Although they knew that failure was only a matter of time, as long as that minute was not  When it comes, they will always fight tenaciously to the end.

    This is a soldier's responsibility and honor.

    After annihilating the Canadian 52nd Infantry Division, the Axis forces began to shrink, and a large amount of force was used on the front line of the city government building.  Their commander, General Jonnar, also had a phone call with Don Tanner and proposed surrender, but Don Tanner rejected it without hesitation.

    "A Canadian can use his own life to safeguard the honor of the military, let alone an American like himself?"  No matter what, you can't let those enemies underestimate you.

    From this moment on, Don Tanner was also prepared to die.  If only from this point of view, Don Tanner is still worthy of respect.

    Nearly all of Tangner's power was used on the frontal battlefield, and there was only one company of troops left by his side.  But Don Tanner doesn't care. If the outside can't withstand it, can a city government building alone stop the enemy from occupying this place?

    In this regard, Don Tanner is still very smart.

    Starting from the afternoon, the Axis army's offensive has obviously strengthened. Their armored vehicles have been spitting out fierce firepower to suppress the US military, but their soldiers don't seem to be in a hurry to capture this place immediately.  The enemy's intention has been very obvious, and they want to use a powerful artillery offensive to completely psychologically destroy the US military.

    Don Tanner was not idle either. He kept shaking his subordinates, even concocting false information to deceive his subordinates, even though he knew that sooner or later he would be exposed if he did so.

    But, now he can no longer take care of this.  It would be good for him to delay for one more minute.

    At 15:00, two armed helicopters appeared in the sky above the city government building. They fired a dense barrage of bullets at the ground without mercy, and even launched a missile, causing the death and injury of dozens of US soldiers on the spot.

    To be fair, Don Tanner didn't know where to vent his anger. Since when did the US military become so weak that it could be slaughtered by others?  Once upon a time, every American firmly believed that they were the masters of this land, and no one could challenge their authority.  But now everything has changed.

    Tang Tanner sighed deeply. In this case, let God judge everything.

    "It's a pity that the God that Don Tanner expected never appeared. What appeared was the soldiers of the most powerful German SS Skeleton Division!

    The Axis forces finally put their ace troops on the battlefield, and this also meant that the final general offensive was about to begin.  In his report to General Gandra, Don Tanner carefully described everything that happened in Southampton and carefully told them the truth on the battlefield. Then he said to General Gandra:

    "I hope you can take good care of my wife and children. I know what to do when this finally comes. Mr. Commander, maybe I should say goodbye to you in advance. No, I think the most accurate thing to say is that I should  Say goodbye to you in advance. £®

    The phone was hung up, and General Gandra put down the phone after a long time: "I have known Don Tanner a long time ago. He is a brave and loyal soldier. When he said that the war was no longer possible,  When it comes to reversal, then none of us can do anything.¡±

    The senior officials of the Fenton government looked at each other in confusion. They knew very well what would happen to London if Southampton was lost.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Is there really no room for redemption?" Fenton asked cautiously.

    General Gandra shook his head in despair: "Unless a miracle happens, but I don't think miracles will happen at any time. Mr. President, I think we should prepare for the worst."

    Fenton was still a little unwilling: "Where are the two US armored divisions that have newly arrived in the UK? Can't they be sent for emergency response?"

    "Them?" General Gandra smiled bitterly: "They will be used as London's final defensive operation. Moreover, nearly half of their equipment has not arrived. If they are sent out rashly, I'm afraid Southampton will have a long time ago."If they lose it, they will be surrounded by enemies.  "

    Just when the British and Americans were helpless, Prime Minister Wilkins' assistant came in and said a few words in his ear. Prime Minister Wilkins changed his mind and immediately turned on the radio.  A man's deep and powerful voice said:

    "Soldiers of England, citizens of England, I am Ernst Brahm, and many of you like to call me Baron Alexson. I am in Southampton, and I am watching the brave in this city.  Her Majesty's soldiers, the brave German soldiers, and the equally brave people of England fought for freedom. . No, it may only take less time.  Flying in Southampton, the final attack on London will soon break out. Now, what is ringing in my ears is 'God Save the Queen', that loud song makes me boil, and makes everyone here boil.  . We long for victory, and what we long for even more is the return of freedom and glory to this land. Now, I ask every one of you: the British soldiers who are still fighting for the Fenton government, take up your arms and fight for the victory.  Your recent enemies. . Your Majesty, the citizens of England who are still in confusion, love you.  Everyone, she is more eager than anyone to set foot on this land again in your cheers. Now, it is time for you to make a choice. Freedom and honor belong to England, to Germany, to us.  Holy Alliance!"

    When the words "Holy Alliance" were spoken, no sound could be heard in the conference room.

    It was him, it was him - the person who was most feared in everyone's hearts finally burst out with a cry on the land of England.  The Fenton government was already shaky. At this time, Her Majesty's call and Baron Alexon's reputation will completely ignite the emotions of the entire country.

    No one can stop them, no one can stop them from moving forward.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "I think that in addition to war accidents, we should also be prepared to retreat." After a long time, General Gandela finally said: "We have already formulated a retreat plan before, and it is time to implement it, Mr. President, Prime Minister  Sir, Mr. Minister, I will order the plane to be on standby 24 hours a day. Once the situation becomes unmanageable, you will leave London as soon as possible."

    No one said anything. Of course they could leave London, but what next?  Will it also become a government-in-exile?  Just like Queen Elizabeth?  No, the treatment they will receive in the future cannot be compared with Her Majesty the Queen. They are just a group of poor lonely ghosts.

    However, at this point, who can come up with a better solution?  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    What General Gandra remembered at this time was what "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol" said to him that day: "You will come to me again, and you will come to me on your own initiative."

    At that time, General Gandra dismissed such words, but at this moment, he knew that maybe he had to think about these words.  He could find a way to evacuate the senior officials of the Fenton government, but what about so many American soldiers?  Should we just let them fend for themselves here?

    No, a general would not do this in his conscience.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Just when the Fenton administration was paralyzed by the dire situation, Don Tanner also understood that the final moment had arrived.  The enemy has issued an order to resolve the battle within 24 hours, and Don Tanner knows very well that they have the ability to do this.

    Maybe, they can resolve the battle in less than 24 hours.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The battle ahead was very difficult, and bad news kept reaching Don Tanner's ears, but the once high-spirited general was helpless. He had no more tanks, no more cannons, and no more guns.  More soldiers can be dispatched.

    What else can he do?

    Under the fierce attack of the enemy, Don Tanner appeared on the front line several times in person. To his shock, he saw that his troops were collapsing.  A large number of troops were destroyed, and the enemy had advanced very close to the city hall building.  Maybe next time they can appear in front of him with just one charge.

    "General, where are the reinforcements? Where are our reinforcements?" The one who shouted was Colonel Depra, a very brave officer.  But Depra, who was now standing in front of Don Tanner, looked very embarrassed.

    Don Tanner did not blame Colonel Depra for being rude, because he personally promised them that reinforcements would arrive soon, but now he saw that the enemy was about to overwhelm the defenses here.It was over, but the reinforcements had no sign of coming.

    Don Tanner knew that there were no reinforcements and that they would never arrive before they failed.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Colonel Depra, I have to tell you some truth, but I hope you will not spread this information." Don Tanner lowered his voice: "There are no reinforcements. All the reinforcements have been destroyed by the enemy and guerrillas."  Contained."

    Colonel Depra was stunned.  No reinforcements?  No reinforcements!  Damn it, there are no reinforcements!  So many soldiers are still persisting in such a passive situation because they still have a trace of illusion in their hearts, thinking that reinforcements will arrive as long as they persist a little longer. But now they actually heard this from General Don Tanner's mouth.  news.

    How can I talk to the soldiers who are still fighting bloody battles?  How can I face those subordinates who fight to the end?

    "Colonel Depra, please keep your calm." Don Tanner sighed: "Actually, General Frank and the troops commanded by him are the last reinforcements we can get. But the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers cannot be affected by this.  Extinguish it. Colonel, I hope you can understand my difficulties. I hope you can understand that many things are forced. What I hope even more is that you can maintain your honor as a soldier under such a request."

    Honor?  Colonel Depra smiled coldly in his heart.  What is honor?  Is it the so-called honor to let everyone die here?  Those are all lives, and they have persevered until now in lies for the honor of the military.

    What do you want them to do?  Will you continue to die in lies for this hopeless war?  Is this fair to those soldiers?

    "I'm not afraid of death, General." Colonel Depra tried hard to contain his anger: "I was ready to die from the first minute of the battle, but not in this way. Soldiers should not continue  Blinded, their fate and future should be theirs to choose: fight, die, or surrender."

    "No, you have no right to do this!" Don Tanner shouted angrily.

    Colonel Depra smiled coldly: "I have the right to do this. You can ignore the deaths of the soldiers, but I can't. I must let them know the situation they are facing. They have their own wives and themselves  Children, none of them want to die here. Yes, they are just a group of ordinary soldiers, but they also have the right to know the truth. General, you can arrest me now, or even shoot me now, but.  You can't hide the truth forever."

    After saying that, he strode away from here without looking at Don Tanna again.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Don Tanner's hand reached for the gun, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't have the courage to pull out his gun.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Perhaps Colonel Depra was right and the soldiers should not continue to be deceived.  They should have their own choice.

    In the sky, light rain has been falling continuously.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Not surprisingly, when they heard that they were actually a group of abandoned people, all the American soldiers stopped fighting. They couldn't believe what they heard. Just like Colonel Depra, their inner shock could not be expressed in words.  Express.

    ¡°They feel like a bunch of fools, living a terrible lie when they have been completely abandoned by the government.  Many of their companions have fallen, leaving their lives behind in this land that actually has little to do with them.  But what did they get?  sell!  Besides betrayal, betrayal!  Why does this happen?  Why do we allow such tragedies to appear again and again?

    "You can choose your own path." Colonel Depra's tone sounded so heavy: "I will not force you to do anything, let alone die in vain. I can tell each of you frankly  , there is no hope for the war in Southampton. We will fail within 24 hours. Opposite us are enemies that are far more powerful than us. They can easily break through and kill what they can see.  Every American. General Don Tanner did not give us a chance to choose, and General Gandra also did not give us a chance to choose. However, I can give you such a chance, life or death. "

    The soldiers were silent, no one spoke.

    Colonel Depra smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is what we are facing now. Tragedy, and also very ironic. Our faith has suffered a devastating blow, and everything we thought we had suddenly  It collapsed. What can we say? Gentlemen, take your pick."

      The soldiers continued to maintain a terrible silence.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Suddenly, a soldier stood up and stood up like this. Maybe there was an enemy sniper hiding somewhere at this time. Bullets would hit his head anytime and anywhere, but he didn't care at all: "Colonel, now  We already know the truth, and we will feel very honored if we continue to fight for you. However, I cannot continue to fight under such lies. I want to put down my weapons. I still have my father and mother waiting for me to go back.  ¡±

    "I respect your choice, soldier." Colonel Depra nodded: "You can put down your weapon."

    The soldier put down the gun in his hand, then took out a white handkerchief and waved it away from the position. He didn't feel any regrets, and he was sure that Colonel Depra would not shoot him in the back.

    Then, another soldier stood up, and then another.

    In less than ten minutes, more than two-thirds of the American soldiers chose to give up. Even the soldiers of the Axis forces did not know what was going on.

    Colonel Depra just watched his soldiers leave, and Don Tanner also watched his soldiers leave.  What more can be said?  He couldn't say anything more.  From this moment on, he knew he had lost everything.

    It¡¯s like he¡¯s about to lose Southampton.  He glanced back at the city hall building, which seemed to be laughing at him.  Tang Tanner smiled bitterly, what could be more sad than this?

    Wang Weiyi also saw what happened in front of him. He didn't think there was anything strange about it. When a soldier or an army completely loses their faith, this will be the inevitable result.

    And the tragic battle that took place in Southampton can finally truly end at this time!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
