On the battlefield, if the chief defected to the enemy, could the soldiers resist the military orders?

When the two armies confronted each other, many generals led their divisions to surrender. So, should their soldiers obey or refuse their military orders? Seeing this problem, I can't help but see such a scene in my mind. On the parade ground, a general solemnly warned the soldiers: "Remember, soldiers must obey orders as their first duty!" However, when the general left there, he was whispering in his heart: "People are scattered, and the team is not easy to take! "

Different sentences show that soldiers may not really be able to resolutely obey their own officers, let alone officers who want to lead the masses to surrender. So, does not accept military orders to surrender mean death?

In fact, on the battlefield, even if the chief is willing to defect, all his subordinate soldiers may not be willing to follow. Isn't this always the case? Many generals often hold a meeting of soldiers before formal surrender, saying, "I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices, so I decided to lay down my arms and join the other side's camp." I welcome those who are willing to follow, and those who are unwilling can go home or find their own way. " Therefore, it is not a dead end not to surrender to the chief.

What's more, after the officer announced his surrender, the soldiers refused to implement it. I remember such an incident happened during World War II. It was the summer of 1940, and in June of 14, the Germans entered Paris. /kloc-in June of 0/7, then French Prime Minister Jean-Claude Peiping announced to the French people on the radio: "French, President People's Republic of China (PRC) asked you, today I imagine the direction of the French government ... I announced with a heavy heart that we must stop fighting."

Did the French soldiers immediately lay down their weapons? To Petain's great annoyance, the next day, Vice Minister of Defense Charles de Gaulle appealed to the French from the radio station in London: "The victory or defeat of this war does not depend on the situation on the French battlefield. This is a world war ... No matter what happens, the flame of resistance in France should never be extinguished, nor will it be extinguished! "

Although the Petain government immediately declared Charles de Gaulle a traitor to the French government, the French soldiers rejected Petain's orders with practical actions.

In Somir, students from the cavalry school guarded the bridge over the Loire River until they ran out of ammunition. As the German officer later described, the French soldiers kept pace despite their rags and even blood stains. They walked across the bridge quietly, and the air was filled with firm determination.

The whole world joked that the impregnable Maginot line was just like the deaf's ears, which was useless. Who knows that the heroic French people once firmly defended the sovereignty of the motherland here, even though the French government has announced its surrender? Maginot line's 400,000 defenders rejected all surrender orders, and only some bunkers were captured by the Germans. In Thule, behind maginot line, the 227th Corps continued to fight for a long time after the French surrendered.

Speculative Italians also joined the war against France in June 10, and they also wanted a piece of the French battlefield. Surprisingly, the Italian army met with the tenacious counterattack of the French army on the Riviera. Four French divisions faced the attack of 28 Italian divisions on a 2-kilometer-long front, only 8 people died, while the Italian side paid about 5,000 casualties. The helpless Italians can only ask the German transport plane to operate one behind the French front to declare Italy's victory. Even Italy's allies are blushing for this. German Hald once shouted: "This is a scam. I won't let my name get mixed up with this kind of thing. "

Although it took a week for the heroic French army to surrender because of lack of ammunition, they did refuse the surrender order issued by the Petain government at first. Their behavior was also respected by their opponents, the Germans, who played the music of military bands for these prisoners of war.
