Chapter 660 The Governor Surrenders

Generally speaking, there are very few cruel battles on the European battlefield. If you win, you fight and surrender if you can't win. As a soldier, it is not embarrassing. This is already a consensus. If you run out of the prisoner-of-war camp and go back, it will be even more glorious.

In theory, when Spanish soldiers rushed into the Governor's Mansion, the people in the Governor's Mansion should surrender. Until now, there has been no cruel street fighting on the European battlefield! There has never been a layer of clearance, such the most cruel battle has occurred.

Now, the same is true.

However, the British did not surrender.

They were dressed in straight military uniforms, they carried the Lee Enfield rifle, with shiny bayonets on it, and among them, the British Governor Eddie, had drawn out his saber.

"Spanish, come on, let's have a fair contest!" Brigadier General Eddie shouted to the other party in Spanish.

Holding the machine gun, Colonel Pimente was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Okay, British, it's great, who's afraid! The 262nd Regiment, take a bayonet!"

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

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

He watched his bayonet pierce into the other person's chest, especially the moment he pulled out the bayonet, the scene of blood coming to his face made him never forget. He liked the smell of blood.

He unbuttoned his buttons one by one and prepared to do a big fight.

"Idiot, the other party obviously has no bullets. We have bullets here, so why should we fight with them for bayonets?" Just as Colonel Pimente wanted to take action, a voice came from beside him.

The consultant came over, and when he saw the confrontation between the two sides, the consultant was immediately angry. Isn’t this nonsense?

If there are bullets, who is willing to fight a bayonet?

When Eddie heard the other person's words, he was stunned.

Yes, they have no bullets.

Their military preparations were very sufficient, but their main preparations were in the Yanshan Fortifications. The Governor's Office here was usually just a security task, and there was not much force in his guards.

Rifles and machine gun bullets are common. In order not to let the other party rush in, they almost gave almost all the bullets to the machine guns. Each person had only one magazine and only ten bullets.

So, they had no choice but to put bayonets on, ready to usher in the most glorious moment in their lives, and died here with the Spaniards!

The Spanish on the opposite side actually got a trap. They also got bayonets and were ready to fight bayonets with the British.

The military qualities of these guards are very solid. If you fight for bayonets, you will at least not suffer any losses. One is enough to kill, and two are worth it!

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

But now, the words on the other side immediately shocked him, and someone actually saw through their tricks!

"Pick up the machine gun, and if they don't surrender, open fire immediately!" said the consultant impatiently.

When Colonel Pimente was stunned when he saw the kicking door, the consultant thought it was something big, and after a long time of doing it, he wanted to fight for a bayonet.

If you have bullets, why do you have to fight with the other party? Aren’t you a fool?

Hold the machine gun! The other party is now standing in a row and wait for the shooting, and you will help them!

"Yes." Colonel Pimente came to his senses and re-lifted the machine gun: "British, surrender immediately, or we will shoot!"

Several machine guns were pointed at them, and as long as QQ fingers were used, they could eliminate all these British people!

Eddie's heart was collapsed. He wanted to use his command knife to kill several Spaniards, but now, as long as he rushed forward, he would be shot into a hornet's nest by a machine gun!

Just under the flag of the British Empire, they originally planned to have a happy battle, but now they only feel sweating on their backs and chills all over.

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

"We surrender, I am the Governor of Gibraltar, and I ask for prisoner treatment that matches my identity." Brigadier General Eddie Walt said.

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

"Victory!" A shout came from here.

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

Commodore Eddie was taken away. He turned his head and watched the rice flag slide down. He couldn't help but feel sore.

The British Empire has entered dusk!

"The main reason for the fall of Gibraltar is the betrayal of the French Navy!" In the parliament, Churchill stood in front and shouted loudly to the people in front: "I had expected the French Navy to become accomplices of Germany, but I didn't expect that they would come so quickly!"

For Britain, the fall of Gibraltar was not only a colony, but also a more terrifying meaning: the gate to the Mediterranean was closed by the Germans!

From then on, Britain will not be able to go directly to the Mediterranean Sea. Materials from the Middle East colonies need to detour through the southern end of Africa. The fall of Gibraltar will have a greater blow to Britain.

In this way, Britain will be more difficult. After all, Britain now needs the supplies from the colonies more!

At this time, in the parliament, Churchill was still expressing his point of view righteously: "In fact, even if Gibraltar is in our hands, we cannot guarantee the safety of the Mediterranean navigation. German fighter jets can take off from France and Spain and attack our merchant ships at any time. Therefore, after the loss of its advantage on the European continent, we are no longer able to maintain the Mediterranean route."

Churchill's words were of course trying hard to downplay the influence. Whether to fight or not is the same. British merchant ships must take a long way.

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

Now, just dealing with the possible cross-sea landing of the Germans is already in a state of difficulty, and we still have to organize the North African army? There was a burst of conversation below.
