【1387 Finale 09】
Daniel Lewis really made an attack all night. If he had not made a decisive tactical breakthrough before dawn tomorrow, he had not made a decisive tactical breakthrough, had not tear open the defense line of the Chinese army, and had no way to fight with the Chinese army in hand-to-hand combat, he would lead the team to surrender.
After the British general Daniel Lewis made up this idea, the British army became more tenacious.
Because the people below didn't know what Daniel Lewis was thinking, they thought that Daniel Lewis had changed his nature and wanted to fight the Chinese army to defend the honor of the Knights?
Wang Dashan has always stood on the position for two consecutive days, living and dying with the soldiers. This is the real life and dying together, not Daniel Lewis's slogans are trembling, but actually hiding on the innermost layer, and he also dug a small circle and trench for himself to hide.
This night was a torment, but there was no danger. Although the British attack was fierce, it did not tear the Chinese defense line. Once a wave of British troops rushed into the Chinese positions and was beaten by a bunch of Chinese soldiers tied with grenades and died with the enemy. They were defeated and retreated collectively.
When it was dawn, the British army was no longer able to stop a large-scale counterattack. Both armies were at the end of their strength, and the Chinese army's English-speaking agents began a new round of lobbying.
Daniel Lewis looked up at the sky in despair. It was clear weather and dry air, but he seemed to be soaked in the sea water, feeling wet and salty.
"Surrender, no more fighting, there is no food left." Even if there is no food left, he can still rush for another day or two. Moreover, the army that just left food left has a ruthless force. However, Daniel Lewis himself did not have this ruthless force, and he issued an order to surrender.
The officers and soldiers around Daniel Lewis did not say anything, but they all strongly despised Daniel Lewis. Yesterday was the loudest shouting, saying that he should protect the honor of the Knights, or use death to protect it. But now when he surrenders, he is so arrogant.
Daniel Lewis also blushed a little, closed his eyes, and thought to end all this quickly. As long as he does not die, there will be hope for people to live. He did not think so at the beginning.
Wang Dashan was closing his eyes and resting, and he was holding a cigarette butt that had not yet been extinguished in his hand.
"Good news, good news, general, the enemy surrendered, the British surrendered." Zhang Haobo gently shook Wang Dashan's arm.
Wang Dashan coughed and woke up, "Are the British surrendering?"
"Yes, the white flags have been hung out. British commander Daniel Lewis sent an adjutant to negotiate terms with the general." Zhang Haobo reported.
"You go and talk. There are no conditions to talk about, disarm and wait for the end. However, we can reiterate the Chinese army's policy of not abuse of prisoners to them again." Wang Dashan said.
"They offered to let them go back to the UK." Zhang Haobo said.
"No, they are prisoners of war. Now they surrender, they deserve to be judged by China. They told them that we will not kill prisoners of war, but as for how long they can return to Britain, it depends on their performance and how much blood of the Chinese army is stained on their hands." Wang Dashan said decisively.
Zhang Haobo was startled by a military salute, "Yes, General."
Another morning wasted, and in the end, Wang Dashan did not make any concessions. When the news of Daniel Lewis preparing to surrender spread, the British army had already lost its combat effectiveness. Now that Daniel Lewis wanted to fight again, it would be difficult for him to convince his subordinates. However, he got a fair news that his imprisonment period would not last half a year, because he led his troops to surrender and made great contributions. Otherwise, his crime would be at least enough for life imprisonment.
Daniel Lewis passively accepted the conditions offered by the Chinese army.
More than 147,000 British troops put down their weapons on the spot, and walked out one by one with ropes, spreading vastly and spectacular.
Wang Dashan is not tall and not short, but Daniel Lewis is tall, so Wang Dashan only reaches Daniel Lewis' shoulder position.
Wang Dashan looked up at Daniel Lewis, still majestic because he was the head coach of the victorious side. "Congratulations, sir, you made the wisest choice and saved the lives of these millions of people! This is a manifestation of humanitarianism."
Daniel Lewis held the watermelon hat in his hand dejectedly, and pressed the hat on his left chest, with his head slightly lowered, "Thank you for your magnanimity, I hope the general will fulfill his promise and not abuse our prisoners."
Wang Dashan laughed, "We Chinese spit out a spit and a nail, why don't we keep our word? Don't worry, take it away."
After Wang Dashan finished speaking, the two soldiers escorted Daniel Lewis down.
News that 147,000 British troops were captured quickly spread. After receiving the news, all surrendered immediately, and many people even cheered.
People are like this. Their colonial boss is British. They are dissatisfied with the British. When a new boss comes, he shows goodwill to the new boss, and on the other hand, he is full of expectations. He believes that no matter how bad the Chinese country is, it cannot be worse than the British. He should be better to them, right?
While counting the casualties and assembling all the surrendered troops, Wang Dashan immediately called Yekazelina Krimova and Vladimir Granath to report the results of the battle.
Yekazelina Krimova was so excited that she almost jumped up. She had a very cold personality. She did not have such a major victory, and she would not easily lose her composure.
"Great, great, Vladimir Granath, we succeeded, we won a great victory, I will tell His Majesty the news immediately." Yekazelina Krimova said to Vladimir Granath.
Vladimir Granath smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is a great victory. Our ammunition is insufficient. If the British hold on for a while, even for two days, let alone break through, Wang Dashan's ammunition will be exhausted and may even be anti-annihilated. I didn't expect that the British would be so weak in fighting will."
Yekazelina Krimova smiled and said, "Do you think every country can do this to China? We have the best army, the best people, the best logistics support system, the best military and industrial circulation system. The entire China is as precise as a machine. Even if our national strength is not as strong as the United Kingdom, our spirit is hundreds and thousands of times stronger than any country."
Emperor Hua soon received the news and smiled happily. That's all. Princess Katrina Kaifu thought Emperor Hua would cheer again.
"Your Majesty, aren't you very happy?" asked Princess Katrina Kaif, "Do you think Wang Dashan and the others have killed not many people?"
"No, this is exactly what I am most happy about. They won such a big victory this time, and captured millions of captives, but not many people died. This is very good." Emperor Hua smiled, "However, India has not taken it down yet. We don't know what the British will react next, so we cannot be proud of it, tell Yekazelina Krimova and Wang Dashan, immediately arrange a large army to advance south, take down the entire India, and order the 4th Chinese field division of Ashgabat to immediately assist the Chinese cavalry division transferred from Mongolia to advance westward and raid the Suez Canal for a long distance. You will announce to the international community now, claiming that the British colonization in Asia is unjust, and any act of helping the British is unjust, and justice may be late, but will never be absent."
Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, if we want to take down the Suez Canal, will we declare war on the Ottoman Turkish Empire first?"
"No, once your statement is out, if the Suez Canal passes through the British fleet, it means that the Ottoman Turkish Empire has joined the war. Our attack is justice. Remember, before the Chinese cavalry division arrives at the Suez Canal, the British will definitely increase troops to India once. For such a big thing, the British cannot remain indifferent. India is the most important colony of Britain overseas." The Emperor of China replied confidently, and at this time it was quite a bit like Zhuge Liang's plan and victory thousands of miles away.
