Chapter 200 Surrender

" Bang..."

An M2 infantry fighting vehicle that was desperately suppressing the Taliban was hit by an anti-tank missile suddenly fired from a surrounding civilian house. The steel monster was no longer spared because of its rough skin and thick flesh. It was blown into a huge fireball. The 25mm shell that was continuously firing in the chariot was detonated, including Two shells even hit an M2 chariot next to it.

The armor of the M2 chariot can withstand 12.7mm bullets at most. At this time, it was hit by two 25mm shells. At a distance of less than 10 meters, the armor was pierced through two bullet holes in an instant, and only a few screams of American soldiers inside could be faintly heard.

A captain officer hiding behind an infantry fighting vehicle saw that the other party had even taken out anti-tank missiles. If these tanks were still used as fixed turrets, sooner or later, they would be destroyed by the other side one by one.

As if he had made some determination, the captain dodged the stray bullets fired by the Taliban militants and deftly drilled into the reinforced concrete bunker.

"Your officer, you can't resist it outside. You should make up your mind!" As soon as the captain entered the bunker, he roared loudly regardless of the strict rank. The whole face was completely wrinkled, not knowing whether it was because of the officer's hesitation or the fierce anger of the Taliban outside.

Tony, sitting behind the desk, didn't seem to hear what his men said. Insoucially opened the cigar box on the table, took out the last cigar, and clicked it slowly.

Just as the captain was about to roar again, Tony glanced at his men and said faintly, "What's your mind? Air Force support will arrive in 7 minutes. Can't you resist even 7 minutes?

In this bunker, in addition to Tony, the commander of the aircraft battalion, there are several officers of the information center. They know everything about the captain and Tony's thoughts. However, at this time, no one wants to express any opinions.

At this time, Tony was gambling that when the air force arrived, the infantry battalion had not been annihilated by the Taliban. He has no way out now. This time, he was caught off guard by the Taliban, and the loss was huge. At least after the Vietnam War, the United States has not lost so many soldiers: the casualties of 400 soldiers, and Tony has seen himself standing in a military court and being sentenced.

If the last stronghold of the infantry battalion can still be maintained, Tony's crime will not be too serious after the Taliban forces are repulsed by the air force. On the other hand, Tony himself is a young officer. His revenge is far-reaching, but this battle has made Tony lose everything. He did not want to be the first officer to surrender to the Taliban. It's better to die in battle.

In the 21st century, the first American officer to surrender! Tony doesn't want to wear this title for a lifetime, and even if he dies, he will leave a curse in the history of the world military.

"But we have less than 100 soldiers who can fight now, and more than 100 people are injured. If they can't be treated immediately, some of the seriously injured soldiers will never be able to return to the United States! Some of the remaining soldiers will be disabled for life. Although the captain officer had a vague understanding of Tony's mind, he could not watch the familiar soldiers fall under the enemy's gunpoint one by one. Although he is a soldier, he is also a flesh-and-blood person!

" Bang... Bang!"

Two huge explosions came from outside again. The officers in the bunker trembled at the same time. No one even cares about the dust falling overhead. Now they understand one thing. The battle outside is getting more and more fierce.

The captain and officer couldn't stand Tony's hesitation. He tightened his body and looked at Tony like a wolf. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Please... allow... allow... we... put down... martial arts!"

"No way!" Tony vetoed without hesitation. He was still waiting for the support of the air force. How could he surrender? In particular, surrender to a group of guerrillas. The pride in his heart will not allow him to do so.

"They are all Americans, and they also have parents and wives. They can't die here. They are still young, and I will never watch them die in a foreign country!" At this time, the captain still stubbornly insisted on his opinion. And I hope that the battalion commander can agree to his suggestion and give those soldiers a way to live.

"Well, am I the highest officer here or are you? I said that the US [***] team will never surrender. You don't have to say these words anymore!" Tony was also angry and spoke without mercy.

The captain stared at Tony's unquestionable expression, thinking from the bottom of his heart whether he pulled out a pistol and hit him. However, the captain was not so irrational. He walked out of the bunker with a cold snort.

"Huda..."

"Let's go, kill the Yankees..."

"Ah...Americans, go to hell..."

Taliban militants outside saw the U.S. military's M2 infantry fighting vehicles destroyed one by one. All of them were like chicken blood, coming out of the windows, corners, sewers, and even ditches, like torrents, rushing to the last position of the U.S. military.

At this time, whether it is rifles, grenades, grenades, rocket launchers, or even Molotov cocktails, as long as they can quickly attack the enemy, the Taliban will take them out and sprinkle them on the desperate American soldiers.

20:26. The Taliban almost destroyed the last M2 infantry fighting vehicle of the U.S. military with people. More than 2,000 people left surrounded the last bunker.

In the bunker, Tony no longer had the plain mentality just now. The face is full of fear. There were waves of excited roars outside, like boulders hitting his heart. The last seven officers and 13 American soldiers in the bunker all looked at Tony. At this time, only Tony can save their lives. Otherwise, after the Taliban militants rush in, they will never shout to surrender and not kill.

The hatred between the Taliban and the United States has been accumulated in countless armed conflicts and is difficult to resolve. Now if they surrender, the Taliban militants may let them live for future propaganda. If they are still stubborn, their end will be sent out. The leaked bullets were shot into a pool of minced meat.

"Captain, I now allow you to take them out and surrender." Tony looked up and glanced into the eastern sky. It seemed that through the cement wall, he saw a group of U.S. fighter jets roaring in the sky more than ten kilometers away. But he can't resist even a minute now.

Tony's words relieved the soldiers in the bunker. The captain suddenly remembered that he did not mention himself in the officer's words just now. Could it be... "Sir, you are the supreme officer here. I ask you to take us out!" The captain can only use this reason to dispel Tony's purpose.

At the moment he finished speaking, Tony waved his hand and ordered with all his last strength, "Captain, I now order you to take them out and surrender!"

"I..."

"Get out!" Tony stared and shouted. "

The captain and other officers and soldiers knew in their hearts that Tony really made a decision. After saluting Tony at the same time, he walked out of the bunker empty-handed.

After watching the remaining officers and soldiers of the machine walking camp go out, Tony opened the drawer and took out a mahogany box from it. Open the box and there is a yellow pistol in it.

This is a copper version of 0.357 caliber desert eagle. Tony's boss, Brigadier General Stephen, the commander of the 4th Stepping Division, gave it to him when he was promoted to the commander of the 402nd Step Battalion.

Outside the bunker, the captain, with more than a dozen soldiers of the machine-walking battalion, surrendered to Nurzai, the captain of the Taliban armed Afghan Guard. Several Taliban militants with digital cameras filmed the scene completely.

Suddenly, there was a gunshot in the bunker. The Taliban outside were shocked. Is there anyone else in it?

Nurzai motioned to several soldiers to go in and search.

Less than a minute after the gunfire, there was a roar in the eastern sky.

After half an hour, Charles and David's two tactical teams finally arrived over Kandahar.

Eight F-16C fighters and four A-10 attack aircraft crossed the turbulent clouds and saw the lights of Kandahar.

Charles and David immediately set their sights on the southern suburbs of Kandahar. The fire there is still burning, and the picture transmitted from the satellite to the fighter monitor shows that the battle here seems to be over. Charles and David were shocked by the news and couldn't believe it.

Through the airborne communicator, Charles reported the situation here and General Freeman of Bagram Air Force Base.

David commanded the A-10 attack aircraft to lower the altitude and try to find the target around the machine camp.

"Damn it, where are the soldiers in the infantry battalion?" David roared in the communicator.

"Head, it seems to be finished below!" A pilot of the attack aircraft said in the communicator.

Whether it is a fighter pilot or an attack pilot, they all know the end of the pilot camp. But they couldn't believe it was true. Half an hour ago, Lieutenant Colonel Tony also asked for support from Bagram Air Force Base. Only half an hour later, was the infantry camp destroyed by the Taliban?

"Head, let's attack!" A pilot couldn't accept the result of the elimination of the pilot camp and proposed with a crying voice in the communicator.

As a member of the U.S. military, these pilots could not accept that a walking battalion was destroyed by the Taliban, and hundreds of American soldiers died at the gunpoint of the Taliban.

David did not answer, and he was also thinking about the feasible surname of this suggestion. If the infantry battalion below and the Taliban are still fighting now, then David will definitely not consider it and will issue an order to attack, but by this time, the battle is over. The machine walking camp can no longer be contacted. And the Taliban militants also disappeared without a trace. However, the pilots know that in such a short time, it is absolutely impossible for the Taliban to hide in the mountains and must be hidden in Kandahar.

David's silence did not frustrate the pilots. They have been fighting with David for a long time and are familiar with David's approach. Silence means acquiescence.

The pilots of the three A-10 attack aircraft roared, lowered the plane to an altitude of 300 meters to the limit, roaring around the walking camp.

Suddenly, a pilot observed an abnormal fluctuation in a small building in the southwest of the pilot's walking camp through an infrared night vision.

Without thinking about it, the pilot controlled the plane to circle to the appropriate position, aimed at the small building, and pressed the launcher of the Mavericks air-to-ground missile.
