"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense shells fell into the city of Chilpansingo and were blown up. The entire city was turned into ruins under the fierce shelling of the Chinese army, and the defensive offensive built by the US military was also destroyed.
A lot of them were destroyed. However, a large number of US military officers and soldiers fought against the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries in such ruins. Although the US military had suffered heavy losses in the early battles, they were still working hard to fight against the Chinese Army.
And Japanese mercenaries compete for every position in the city, even every house that has become ruins. Relying on the forces deployed on the mountains on both sides of the Chilpansingo city, the US military has repelled the Chinese army and
The Japanese mercenaries attacked. Although they suffered heavy casualties and their morale became increasingly sluggish, they were still defending their positions until the order to retreat was issued.
"Hehe!" In the sky, FHB's Falcon, dive bomber, was hovering down, and a huge 500-kilogram aviation bomb fell from the belly of the aircraft, hitting a US artillery position straight. After the aviation bomb exploded,
A pyrophoon-red fireball rose. The hot waves swept across the artillery positions. The several mountain cannons and mortars deployed here were all destroyed, and hundreds of American artillery soldiers were even left untouched during the explosion.
This is a position deployed by the US military on the mountains on both sides of the Chilpansingo city. Before the battle began, the US military deployed a large number of positions composed of mountain cannons, mortars and heavy machine guns on the mountains on both sides. These positions were
, can provide strong fire support to the defenders in Chilpansingo's urban area. The failure of several attacks by the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries is largely due to the fact that the US military deployed its positions on these two mountains.
Fortunately, these two mountains are relatively steep and the US military's heavy artillery cannot be deployed on the mountain. Otherwise, this will cause greater trouble to the Chinese Army.
The Chinese Army continuously used artillery to launch artillery bombardment on US military positions, but the effect was not great. Many of the US military positions were built at dead corners where cannons could not be bombarded. At this time, dive bombers came in handy.
These dive bombers carrying 500 kilograms of aviation bombs have become completely a nightmare for the US military. The sharp screams made by the FHB's dive bomber whenever the FHB's dive bomber dives have become the minds of countless US military officers and soldiers.
A lingering nightmare.
One position after another was destroyed by the Chinese Air Force's dive bombers, and the US resistance gradually became increasingly fragile. This was because the Chinese Air Force only sent a large group of dive bombers on the Mexican battlefield, forty dive bombers.
Among them, five of them had been damaged in the previous battles. However, they were all damaged due to mechanical failures, and none of them were shot down by the US military. If the number of dive bombers in the Chinese Air Force doubled, maybe the US military would
All the defensive positions built painstakingly have been destroyed. Even so, the US military's defensive positions will not last long. Once all the US military positions on the mountains on both sides of the Chilpansingo city are destroyed, it will be the Chinese Army and Japan's labourers.
The time for the army to launch a general attack on the US military. It is obviously unlikely that the US military, which has lost the defense line on both sides, will resist the attack of the Chinese army!
On the evening of March 22, General Pershing was firing in the US military command center. US Army Chief of Staff Leonard.
Admiral Wood is very dissatisfied with the increasingly heavy US military's war losses in recent times. The US military's daily losses are now more than two divisions. Such heavy losses, even if the US military has already driven enough horsepower to mobilize troops,
That can't hold on. Therefore, the US Army Chief of Staff Leonard.
Admiral Wood strongly asked General Pershing to find ways to reduce the losses of the troops. But at the same time, he also had to resist the attack of the Chinese Army. These two requirements are undoubtedly contradictory. Faced with the powerful Chinese Army, they are losing.
With air supremacy, if the US military wants to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army, it will have to pay a heavier price. This is completely impossible. Chief of Staff Leonard.
Admiral Wood's request was completely a forceful person. No wonder General Pershing immediately roared like an angry lion after receiving the telegram.
"Damn it, those guys who only know how to sit in the office don't understand the situation on the front line, and don't know how terrible our enemies are. We also want us to resist the Chinese attack, and we also want us to try our best to do so.
The loss reduction is simply impossible!" Admiral Pershing roared loudly with anger on his face.
"General, what should we do now? Today, more than ten positions were destroyed by Chinese Air Force fighter jets. If this continues, we will probably lose both wings in less than a week.
Without the threat of the two wings, the Chinese could unscrupulously attack the city of Chilpansingo. With no firepower and military strength, we could not resist the Chinese attack at all!" Dai
Lieutenant General Weis asked anxiously. Although the defenders took a lot of advantage in street fighting. However, facing the experienced troops of the Chinese Army, the Chinese Army received support from powerful artillery and air force.
There is basically no possibility of defeating the Chinese army in street fighting. The defense system of Chilpansingo is generally very strong, especially the firepower positions built on the mountains on both sides of the city, which are sufficient
Considering the location of the Chinese Army's powerful artillery positions, the location of these positions has been carefully considered and can avoid the Chinese Army's artillery bombardment. In this way, it can provide strong fire support for Chilpansingo, which is enough to make an attempt to attack.
Chilpansingo's Chinese army paid a heavy price. However, the attack of the Chinese Air Force, this method of attack falling from the sky, made the US military unable to defend at all. With the destruction of the two wings, the US military's defense system became irreparable.
There is a loophole.
"When will the special anti-aircraft machine gun that the country promised us to be delivered?" said General Persian. In some ways, the failure of the US military this time can be said to be due to the Chinese Air Force. The group of Chinese Air Force
The fighter jets made the defensive offensive that the US military had originally carefully constructed became fragile and unwilling to see. Otherwise, General Pershing would be completely confident that he would turn Chil Pansingo and even the entire defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains into a covered Chinese army.
corpse in the cemetery.
"General, the news from the country will not be mass-produced by our anti-aircraft machine guns at least next month. If they are to be sent to the front line of Mexico, they will probably have to wait until late next month!" Lieutenant General Davis said. In the new style
Before the fighter jets could be seen, anti-aircraft machine guns have become the only weapon that the US military can use to counter the Chinese Air Force.
"Damn it, don't they know that we will pay a heavy price for every day of delay?" General Pershing said with extreme dissatisfaction.
"General, what should we do now? If we continue to defend Chil Pansingo, we may only be able to last for half a month at most. And we will also pay at least a few hundred thousand people." Davis was in the middle of the
Will say.
Admiral Pershing nodded, he thought so. He understood Lieutenant General Davis's meaning. Since he was destined to be unable to withstand the Chinese attack, it would be better to retreat as soon as possible. Retreat to the hinterland of Mexico and rebuild a new one.
The defense line blocks the Chinese army. In this way, it is equivalent to using space to exchange time. At the same time, it can further expand the logistics supply line of the Chinese army and effectively weaken the combat power of the Chinese army. Admiral Pershing is also very inclined to do this.
, but he was sure that the Army General Staff would not agree to such a plan. Even the Department of War and the US government would never accept the voluntary retreat of the US military.
"Davis, I also know the current crisis, but I cannot order the troops to retreat. Admiral Leonard Wood will never agree to our plan," said Admiral Pershing.
"General, those guys who only know how to sit in the office and command blindly have no idea about the specific situation on the front line. They are just considering their own status and interests, and have not taken into account the vast number of ordinary soldiers. What they do
, there is no doubt that it will harm the interests of the United States. Once we suffer heavy losses here, we will not have enough troops to stop the Chinese attack. The Chinese can even drive straight into northern Mexico, threatening the United States.
Local!" Lieutenant General Davis said excitedly.
Is General Pershing also aware of these situations? Although he was the supreme commander of the US military in Mexico, he arbitrarily abandoned the major military plan for the Battle of the Sierra Madre defense line, which obviously needed approval from the Army General Staff and even the Minister of War.
Otherwise, what awaits him will be the trial of the military court. Admiral Pershing undoubtedly hopes to continue to fight for the future of the United States in the army. If he is tried by a military court, his military career will undoubtedly be here.
The end, that's not what he wants to see.
"Davis, I will send a telegram to the Army Staff to state our combat plan, but it is unknown whether it can be passed. However, I will do my best!" said Admiral Pershing.
The life and death of the 100,000 US troops and his own career made it difficult for General Pershing to make a decision. He hoped that the Army General Staff could approve his plan. But he also knew that this seemed unlikely.
Lieutenant General Davis nodded. He also knew the difficulties of General Pershing. It was already very rare to be able to send a telegram to the Army General Staff to request a retreat and abandon the defense line of the Sierra Madre!
