Is that a war crime? It was to my understanding that if a soldier does not follow a lawful order on the battlefield that his commanding officer can execute him.
If they were told to fall back, and they ignored the order and said "we're surrendering to the enemy" then yeah, getting a bullet in the back would not be unheard of. But this is a short video with no context.
