Eight hundred and thirty-seven.(3/3)
God, what is there something even more terrible than this? The airport fell into the hands of the Germans. Now, Commodore Dolby has completely blocked the retreat route.
He thought it was a tragedy, a real tragedy, and now he had to face the most terrible thing that was about to happen.
The loyal Major Howell has always been with him. Although he doesn't know how to comfort the brigade general, he can at least fulfill his responsibilities as an adjutant when he is by his side.
"How is the street fighting going on, Major?" asked Brigadier General Dolby reluctantly.
"The situation is not particularly optimistic," Major Howell said truthfully: "We lack experience in street combat defense, and the enemy's offensive is too fierce, so I think it's hard for us to continue to stick with it."
Commodore Dolby nodded and suddenly said, "Do you know a man? This man was born in Virginia. He performed outstandingly in the American-Mexico War and suppressed the armed riots of John Brown in 1859. In the American Civil War, he was the commander-in-chief of the Confederacy. In the Civil War, he won a great victory in the Battle of Bull Creek, Fredericksburg and Chanthallesville. His name is the one that all Americans remember."
"You are talking about General Robert Lee, are you?" Major Howell guessed immediately.
Commodore Dolby said with a expressionless face: "Yes, General Robert Lee, a great general in American history. After the Union Army was exhausted by the battle for several months, a federal army successfully captured Petersburg on April 2, 1865. General Lee gave up defense against Richmond and attempted to join forces in North Carolina with General Joseph Johnson. His troops were besieged by the Federal Army and surrendered at the Court of Appomatox on April 9, 1865. Several officials proposed
Refusing to surrender to allow some small units to penetrate the encirclement and enter the mountains to carry out long-term guerrilla warfare, which was rejected by General Li. After the war, General Li applied for a post-war pardon from the official, but he had not received any Huai. After the application was sent, he submitted it to Secretary of State William Henry Siwald's table. He thought it was a copy submitted by someone else after the matter was completed and filed it. It was discovered again in his drawer decades later. General Li would not respond and should be the government reserved the right to prosecute him. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Speaking of this, he was silent: "General Lee applied for amnesty to set an example, encouraging many former American Union troops to accept being citizens of the United States of America again. He failed and surrendered, but this did not prevent him from becoming a great man respected and admired by almost all Americans...."
Major Howell understood what the brigade general meant: "Are you going to give up on fighting?"
Brigadier General Dolby's words were bitter: "Yes, I think I'm ready to surrender too. The battle is over. At least our battle is over. I don't expect to be a great figure like General Li, but at least I don't want my soldiers to lose their lives in the war in vain."
Major Howell nodded silently. Who would die?
Brigadier General Dolby answered the phone with the Allied Command: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, Hanover has no hope anymore. We are failing quickly. For the lives of the remaining soldiers, I will order everyone to put down their weapons and surrender. Yes, all this responsibility will be borne by me. Thank you for your understanding and good luck to you and the Allies!"
