Chapter 1121: Preserving Strength

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The medium-sized grenades exploded in San Luis Poto. The flames generated by the shell explosion were clearly visible at night. The Chinese Air Force fighter jets are not able to carry out night bombing yet, so at night

, artillery can only be used to strike the US military. In order to prevent the US military from launching another attack on the Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries' defensive positions at night, the heavy artillery units of the 8th Army of the Chinese Army launched shelling the US military's controlled areas at any cost.

The most likely possible eradication of the active forces of the US military.

After the battle on August 29, 70% of the city of San Luis Potosi had fallen under the control of the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries, with only a few square kilometers remaining under the control of the US army.

The US troops defending San Luis Potosi also lost more than 100,000 people in the battle in the past few days. The remaining troops, in addition to being deployed east of San Luis Potosi, extending to the foothills of the Eastern Madre Range, are

There are almost 100,000 people in the city of San Luis Potosi. However, these US troops have become turtles in the jar. The 2nd Army of the Chinese Army has gone to the northwest of San Luis Poto, blocking the US troops' retreat to the north.

.The East Madre Mountains to the east cannot march with large troops, so the main force of the US military is already hard to fly!

More than 100,000 people are crowded in a narrow area of ​​several square kilometers. Even though the US military is like a rat, many tunnels, artillery shelters, air raid shelters, etc. are built under the ground. But so many people gather together, it is still

The best target. The intensive bombing of heavy artillery by the Chinese Army caused great casualties to the US military. At the same time, it also further reduced the morale of the US military.

The U.S. military command was lifeless, far from the excitement and excitement that was when the battle began. As the city of San Luis Potosi was continuously occupied by Chinese and Japanese mercenaries, the U.S. military would be left shortly after

They were driven out. Once the fortifications in the city were lost, they would probably be destroyed soon under the attack of Chinese planes, tanks and cannons.

Admiral Davis seemed to have grown a lot in just a few days. Although his actual age was less than fifty years old, the days of war were not going well, which made him completely lose confidence.

Originally, he wanted to use the complete fortifications of San Luis Potosi to severely damage the Chinese army. But now it seems that all this is simply delusion.

Admiral Davis felt very frustrated. Although the US government no longer paid attention to their troops, the US military's main energy was also focused on the defense line of the Grand River in the north. However, Davis was on

He was still very careful in preparing for this battle. He hoped to win the reputation of the Americans in this battle. However, he did not expect that in a few days, the US military would be defeated.

Admiral Weiss thinks all this is really unfair. The Chinese army is much stronger in all aspects. Although the United States has become more powerful in individual equipment and artillery through its strong industrial strength, it is no less than the Chinese army.

But the Chinese army immediately took out new weapons such as planes and tanks, which once again widened the distance between us, making it more difficult for the United States to withstand China's attack. If the weapons of both sides were similar, Dai

Admiral Weiss was confident that he could withstand the attack of the Chinese army and even win the war.

However, there was never any fairness in the war. In the late Qing Dynasty, Western powers used strong ships, powerful guns, to deal with the Qing army that were only equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows. Why didn’t they feel unfair? Instead, they regarded China at that time as a

It is a place where people fall behind and ignorant. Now, everything has changed. The Chinese army has begun to use advanced weapons to collect debts from Western powers. However, the United States unfortunately became China's first target. When the United States fell

After that, it's Europe's turn. In this war, the only advantage of the Americans is probably the military strength and geographical advantage. When they fight locally, it's easier for logistics supply to be replenished.

Apart from that, they have no advantage!

"General, today's battle is very bad. Our troops can't resist the attack of the Chinese. The firepower points we have carefully built cannot withstand the bombardment of the Chinese tanks. And we have no way to deal with these tanks.

.” Lieutenant General Cole looked frustrated.

"If we had known it, we would have left some anti-tank guns. If we had deployed some anti-tank guns in the city, it would not have been the turn of the Chinese tanks to be so arrogant!" Admiral Davis said hatefully.

. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. At that time, he thought he could block the Chinese army from the US military's defense line, so he deployed all the anti-tank troops. Unexpectedly, he was finally given a slap by the Chinese army.

It's right.

"General! The army now doesn't mean these useless things. What should we do now? San Luis Potosi must be unable to defend it. Now we have lost most of the defense zones, and the Chinese are still bombarding us indiscriminately.

The morale of the soldiers was also very low, and they had no courage to face the Chinese tanks again!" Lieutenant General Cole said. In today's battle, many US troops took the initiative after the Chinese army launched an attack.

Give up their positions. They had no effective means to deal with the tanks of the Chinese army, so everyone chose to save their lives

"What else can I do? Keep defending myself! The country will not agree to our retreat. Besides, even if I want to retreat now, there is no place to retreat! Chinese people also appeared in the north, and they have blocked our retreat route.

, We are now like beasts locked in cages, or injured beasts, and we can only wait for death slowly!” Admiral Davis said in great depression.

"No, general, we cannot give up hope. Although the roads in the north have been blocked, we can still leave from the east. Cross the Eastern Madre Mountains and go to the Gulf of Mexico. If the Chinese want to pursue us, they have to cross the Eastern Madre.

Only mountains can do it. The powerful assault power of their armored forces is useless in climbing the mountains. We can throw away the Chinese, and then the Navy will send ships to pick us up and leave this ghost place!" Lieutenant General Cole said. He is really

They didn't want to stay in this place at all. In his opinion, it was impossible for them to continue to persevere. If they continue to persevere, they would be dead. It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity now and escape quickly.

"General Cole, the Eastern Madre Mountains? There are only some small paths there. We still have so many troops, and it is impossible to evacuate from the Eastern Madre Mountains!" said Admiral Davis.

"General, we can't take care of that much now. Now, in the city of San Luis Potosi, plus the defense zone on the east side, there are more than 200,000 people. It is impossible to evacuate them all.

Removal as many people as possible!" Lieutenant General Cole said. Although he said it very tactfully, his meaning was very clear. That is, ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to control so many. How much can they escape?

Most of the people will definitely stay, be killed or captured by the Chinese army. The commanders of these army will definitely escape first.

Admiral Davis's face was a little unfavorable, although in the US military's combat thinking, the commander would definitely evacuate first when the situation was irreversible. However, it was still difficult for him to abandon so many troops like this.

Despite this, they have done a lot before.

"So, how should we explain to the country? If we leave the troops and flee back to the country, the President will definitely not let us go!" Admiral Davis said with some concern. At that time, Theodore.

President Roosevelt directly ordered them to defend San Luis Potosi

"General, we have tried our best! The Chinese are too strong and are beyond the scope we can deal with. Therefore, we have to evacuate! I think, Your Excellency the President will definitely understand us!" Lieutenant General Cole said. He

It is obvious that Admiral Davis is already a little moved by his proposal. After all, everyone has the desire to survive, which is human instinct

"Yes, it's not that we don't work hard, but that the Chinese are too strong. The Chinese have much more troops than us and their weapons and equipment are much more advanced than us. We can't resist their attacks. This is natural.

!” Admiral Davis murmured, as if he was convincing himself. Perhaps this would make him feel better.

"Yes! General, we have fulfilled our obligations. The Chinese are too strong to fight with them. We are now withdrawing from the United States to preserve our strength. After all, although we were defeated on the battlefield in Mexico,

But the war is not over yet. After we return to our country, we can continue to lead the troops to fight against the Chinese until we defeat them!" Lieutenant General Cole continued.

This is how people are. Once they find an excuse, they can forgive themselves. Admiral Davis also does not want to die in a war with the Chinese, nor does he want to be captured by the Chinese army. At the same time, he does not want to ruin his military brigade.

He still wants to continue serving in his career. Therefore, he must return to the United States and live!
