Chapter 767： surrender

"Boom boom, boom boom." The diesel engine made a loud roar, and the tracks of the Panther 3 tank rolled over the city that had become ruins and moved forward.

Unlike the last rush, the German North African Army has come to Tubrug neatly. Next to each tank, there is an infantry squad to accompany and protect the infantry. The infantry is holding the latest German The submachine gun followed the tank step by step, preparing to continue to eliminate the remaining enemies.

"Boom!" The tank stopped, followed by a huge firing sound, a flame from the muzzle burst out, and a grenade flew to the opposite half of the wall.

There may be an enemy hidden there, it is safer to knock it down!

Street fighting in the city should be done in this way, like a bulldozer, pushing it all the way! Let the other party not have any hiding place, and see how the other party conducts a sneak attack!

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

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

The tank continued to rumble in the past, past the wreckage just now, the infantry stopped and looked at the costumes of the killed soldiers, which belonged to the Australian Army again!

These Australians, the will to resist is really strong!

As opponents, German soldiers also admire these Australians, 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 battling step by step, pushing forward steadily.

Throughout the city, gunshots and artillery sounded one after another. In front of the powerful German tanks, all resistance was destined to be tragic suicide attacks.

Two hours later, the white flag shook on the opposite side.

"Listen to the person on the other side. I am Klopp, commander of Tobrug Fortress. On behalf of Tubrug's defenders, I have decided to surrender to you. Please give us normal prisoner of war treatment!"

The commander of the fortress, Klopp, had a white cloth wrapped around his head, and blood was constantly oozing out of it. At this time, he stood up and walked towards the German tank on the opposite side.

They surrendered. As the British, they were not ashamed of this defeat. They had worked hard, but the Germans' firepower was too powerful.

If you continue to resist, you can only be wiped out by the opponent, and it won't help.

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

shore.

The sea was still beating against the shore, and in an inconspicuous corner of the harbor, an inconspicuous rubber boat was being gently drawn out.

In the rubber dinghy, there are a few people sitting, the one headed is a one-eyed, it is Wavell.

There was no longer a fight here, and he had to surrender. Klopp had to endure the humiliation and lead his subordinates to surrender to Germany as Tubrug’s commander. 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 so corrupted that even the highest commander of the Middle East has been captured. What hope is there?

Therefore, he can only escape.

The Germans were besieged from three sides on land, but there was no defense at sea, because their fleet existed at sea!

At this time, the sun had gradually set west, and it was about to enter the night. It was a good time for them to leave. The Italian warship appeared in the distance, hoping that they would not notice their small rubber boat!

The assistant was sliding the oars gently, and did not turn on the tail engine, for fear that the sound of the engine would disturb the warship in the distance. They were like a leaf on the sea, floating and swimming gently.

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

The oarsmen paddled gently. As they gradually moved eastward and gradually moved away from the Italian warship, the mood of several people gradually improved. To the west, the sun was about to go down. Once night fell, it was easier for them to leave here. .

All people are in a heavy mood. As a commander, throwing away their troops and rushing away from the enemy's encirclement in a small boat, this is simply a shame for the soldiers!

Even if they can safely return to the command post, they will no longer be able to command troops, and they will lose face.

"I heard that London will send Montgomery over. When he comes, I will resign from all positions." The one-eyed Wavell said, at this time, his mood was very depressed.

If the Strait of Gibraltar is still under our control, it would be too easy to deploy troops to the Middle East But now, it is impossible for British merchant ships to take huge risks to enter the Mediterranean from Gibraltar, even if Gibraltar can Afterwards, the entire Mediterranean Sea was not safe. The French fleet and the British were at odds, and they could intercept them at any time along the way.

Therefore, Montgomery’s troops, in boats, had to make a detour around the southern tip of Africa and make a big circle before they could come. In terms of time, it was only recently, right?

As soon as Montgomery arrived, he resigned from all positions!

Hearing Wavell’s words, Cunningham on the side said, “No, General, you are the backbone of our Egyptian Legion, you can’t leave. It’s better for me to take 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, the roar of the engine came from a distance, and all of them were shocked instantly.

Seaplane!

The cross sign on the fuselage indicated that it was a German seaplane, and the Germans were so careful!

This is an accident.

The German Ar196 seaplane was used to provide sighting and sighting missions for artillery. It is said that after the bombardment was completed, it had 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. It hurt. He tried to keep himself silent. At the same time, the pilot in front was flying to the hospital on land.

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

Almost subconsciously, the pilot pushed the control stick, the seaplane dived down, and then, aiming at the rubber boat, the pilot pressed the red button on the control stick without hesitation. 108
