Yes eventually everyone has to fall back at the very least.

Two notable accounts that come to mind are at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea. This is when Chesty Puller refused to leave army dead and wounded and decided not to retreat but fight in another direction. and Marines in the Philippians during WWII. Not only did they retreat they surrendered. I believe it was 5th Marines. They surrendered after the Navy and Army surrendered and the Japanese either started executing POWs or threatened to. 5th Marines Colors after the surrender were permanently removed from active use due to this huge dishonor.
