Chapter 982 Breaking through the line of defense

On the afternoon of March 23, Chilpansingo, in the US military command, the atmosphere was very dull. The staff officers in the command center lowered their voices as much as possible, for fear that their care would arouse the commander's anger. You should know that an hour ago, after the communication officer sent the telegram to General Pershing's office, the angry roar came from inside.

At this moment, General Pershing's office had become a mess, with scattered documents and pieces of porcelain everywhere. Lieutenant General Davis, no, now he should be saying that General Davis was standing in front of General Pershing's desk, his face looked very ugly. He never expected that the telegram of General Pershing's request for retreat would lead to such consequences after he sent the Army Staff, which made General Davis feel very uncomfortable.

"General, how could those guys from the Army General Staff do this? If it weren't for you, we would have been defeated by the Chinese long ago. Maybe the Chinese had already attacked the United States! How could they remove your post for a suggestion and a legitimate suggestion? I will send a telegram to the General Staff, and I will not take over as the commander of Mexico!" said General Davis.

"Forget it, Davis. This order was not only issued by the Army General Staff, but also the signature of His Excellency Dickinson, the Secretary of War. Obviously, it was approved by the US government, and it was even likely that it was the intention of the US president." Admiral Pershing had a sarcastic smile on his face. He has always believed in the creed that soldiers should be pure and not interfere in politics. But now he discovered that these soldiers who are considering national interests are just tools for those shameless politicians to play with. When it is useful, you can be promoted. Once there is a conflict with their interests, you can hide you without saying a word. No wonder some people say that these politicians are all ruthless bitches!

"General, what should we do? The Mexican frontline cannot do without you!" said Admiral Davis. Although he hopes to be promoted, he definitely does not want to be promoted in this way. This is just like he climbing up on Admiral Pershing's shoulders. How can he, who has always respected Admiral Pershing, accept it?

"Davis, there is no need to say that these useless things are. The telegram has already made it very clear. In half a month, I must rush to the Army General Staff to report my duties. Otherwise, I will be sent to the military court for dereliction of duty. Unless I apply to retire, I must leave. Fortunately, you are the one who succeeds me, not the guys who only know how to sit in the office. Otherwise, this will be a disaster for the United States!" General Pershing said. It is impossible to say that he has no complaints in his heart. But he must face reality and can only bury all the complaints in his heart.

"General, I'm sorry, if I hadn't asked you to send a telegram to the Army Staff, there would have been no such thing!" Admiral Davis was a little guilty.

"Okay, Davis, I don't blame you at all. Now, I have to leave the front line of Mexico, and the millions of troops on the front line depend on you. I hope you can reduce our losses as much as possible and preserve our strength as much as possible. These are the seeds of resisting the invasion of the Chinese in the future." General Pershing said sincerely. He knew that the strength gap between the US and the Chinese Army was too big. In Mexico, the US military was no match for China at all. Sooner or later, China will invade the United States. At that time, the United States will still need these soldiers who have experienced the cruel war to continue fighting against the Chinese. General Pershing believes that the United States will not surrender easily, and the United States will not be defeated so easily. Even if the Chinese attacked the land, they will continue to fight, just like the United States that resisted the powerful Britain and fought for independence and freedom.

"Yes General! Please give me instructions on what I should do next?" said Admiral Davis. Although he will become the acting commander of the Mexican front, he knew that with his own talent, it would be very difficult to withstand the attack of the Chinese army. He could only do his best to implement it according to General Pershing's plan and act as an executor.

"Davis, we are now on the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains, and there are more than 1.5 million troops in total. Moreover, these troops are all low-morning troops. It is impossible to continue to resist the invasion of the Chinese. Now the positions on the two wings of Chilpancingo are about to be completely removed by the Chinese. Once the Chinese are ready, they will definitely launch a large-scale attack. At that time, it is impossible to continue to block the Chinese to the west of the Southern Madre Mountains. Therefore, we need to withdraw the main force to the central Mexico region according to the previous plan, and use the Mexican capital Mexico City and nearby cities as the support point to form the central Mexico defense line. At the same time, some small troops can be organized to stay in the Southern Madre Mountains to attack the Chinese supply line.

If the Chinese want to attack Mexico City, they have to cross the Madre vein of the South. Their supply line will be very fragile. If they can cut off the supply line of the BF, we may not have the chance to defend Mexico City!" Admiral Pershing said to Admiral Davis, looking at the large map of Mexico.

Admiral Davis nodded, abandoned the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains and extended the logistics supply line of the Chinese army. This was originally their established tactic. However, it is hard to say whether this will work, or how much effect it will be achieved. But Admiral Davis is willing to make a try. If he can win, perhaps they can really resist the progress of the Chinese army.

"Davis, you can slowly withdraw the troops on the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains to Sun Pango, Binhe Riverside, and Vichuko further east. Once Chil Paninggo cannot hold on, leave a small number of troops to block the Chinese, and the main force will immediately retreat eastward without any hesitation!" General Pershing reminded. He knew very well that once the defense line was broken, if he could not retreat in time, it would be difficult to escape after being caught up by the Chinese and entangled.

"Yes, General! Once the defense line of Chilpanxinggo is broken, I will ask the 16th Army to be responsible for blocking the Chinese!" General Davis said firmly. The 16th Army is his direct unit. He is able to make the 16th Army responsible for cutting off the rear, which undoubtedly shows his determination.

"I'm relieved!" General Penxing said with relief.

Early the next morning, General Pershing left Chilpansingo under the escort of a company. He needed to rush from Chilpansingo to Washington within half a month, and he had to hurry up. However, he firmly believed that he would return to Mexico one day to continue to lead the US military and the Chinese. Although the current President Taft was very dissatisfied with him, he knew that Taft's life was not easy. This year's election year, it was almost more difficult for President Taft to win than ascend to heaven. As long as President Taft failed in the election, it would be time for him to rise again. Although General Pershing was not interested in politics, he was also very clear about the domestic situation. In addition, he did not have any foundation in the US Army. Once the new president came to power and wanted to stabilize the situation, he would inevitably need his help. In addition, former President Theodore.

Roosevelt wanted to compete for the position of president, which was also good news for General Pershing. He and Theodore.

President Roosevelt's relationship is much closer than that with Taft.

"Hehe!" The Chinese Air Force's FH5 Falcon, dive bomber, hovered in the sky, discovered the target and immediately dived down, turning the US military's position into a sea of ​​fire.

The Chinese Air Force continued to launch attacks on the positions of Chilpansingo on both wings, and the US positions were destroyed one after another, making the support of the US wings weaker and weaker for Chilpansingo. This created an opportunity for the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries to invade Chilpansingo.

On March 26, the third day after General Pershing left Chilpansingo, the Chinese Army invaded Chilpansingo's urban area and began to compete with the US military for control of the urban area. Although the US military launched a desperate counterattack, with the cooperation of the Chinese Air Force and the Army's artillery units, the US military's counterattack was easily shattered.

The acting commander of the US military, General Davis, mobilized troops to reinforce Chilpansingo, while on the other hand, secretly transferred the main force to the eastern part of Chilpansingo, preparing to retreat east as soon as possible after the defense line was broken by the Chinese army.

On March 27, the positions on both wings of Chilpansingo were completely destroyed, and the Chinese Army's attack on Chilpansingo had no worries.

Starting from March 28, the main force of the 6th Army of the Chinese Army and the Japanese mercenaries launched a fierce attack on Chilpansingo. The Air Force and the Army's artillery units also supported it with all their strength. At the same time, two other armies of the Chinese Army also joined in and launched attacks on the US military in turn. If it weren't for the fact that Chilpansingo was located in the valley and too many troops could not be deployed, the US military's defense line would have been broken long ago. But even so, the US military would not be able to hold on for too long.

On March 30, after several days of hard fighting and paying more than 20,000 people, the Chinese Army completely drove the US military out of Chilpansingo. Of course, the losses of the Japanese mercenaries were not small, more than three divisions were crippled, and several divisions were severely damaged. The losses of the US military were even greater. In order to cover the main force of the US military's retreat to the east, at least two US troops lost the battle.
