Admiral Davis only arrived in Mexico City on the evening of April 2, and the US military was retreating north in an orderly manner. Davis brought a company guard, and the speed was naturally much faster.
But when he arrived in Mexico City, the political situation in the United States had stabilized, Theodore.
Roosevelt has once again become the president of the United States, and General Pershing has once again become the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield. This has finally let go of General Davis's heart. Although, he is on the Mexican battlefield.
The acting commander was over, but he was quite satisfied with being able to serve as a deputy to General Pershing.
After General Pershing resumed his post, he immediately sent a telegram to General Davis, asking General Davis to try his best to gather the troops. In addition, he reorganized the US military on the battlefield and strived to
The US military restored its combat effectiveness in the shortest time. However, this task is very arduous. In fact, the US military has not had a lot of troops on the Mexican battlefield. Before and after, the US military has invested 300 troops on the Mexican battlefield.
However, the US troops that were annihilated and captured by the Chinese army accounted for half of the total. The morale of the remaining US troops was low, and it was very difficult to revive them.
Fortunately, after breaking through the US military's defense line in the South Madre Mountains, the Chinese Army did not launch an attack immediately, which gave the US military a chance to breathe. In fact, the Chinese Army had to stop. After the battle of Chilpansingo,
The strategic materials of the Chinese army were almost exhausted again. To carry out the next war, it would take a period of time to prepare again. In addition, casualties in each unit also needed to be supplemented, especially Japanese employed, whose losses had already exceeded half.
The army also needs to accept new recruits from the country. In addition, the reinforcements sent by the General Staff to the Mexican battlefield also take time to adapt. This forced Marshal Zhao Bowen to order the entire army to enter defense and the entire army will temporarily rest.
After General Davis arrived in Mexico City, he immediately ordered the reorganization of the US military. The remaining US military was reorganized into thirty armies, and all of them were granted new numbers. At the same time, the central defense line of the US military was centered on Mexico City and took Mexico City.
Cuernavaca, Cuertra, and Puebla in the southwest are support points to build a solid defense line. The western, southwest, south and southeast of Mexico City are surrounded by mountains, which is conducive to defense. Therefore, just keep it
The US military is still very likely to resist these key points.
Of course, after the defense line of the Southern Madre Range fought against the Chinese army, the US military had already understood the strength of the Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries. The favorable terrain in the south of the Madre Range was eventually broken by the Chinese army. Now around Mexico City
The mountains are much lower, and the US generals have no idea whether they can withstand the attack of the Chinese army. Compared with the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains, the US military has a more advantageous advantage, which is probably that the logistics supply line has been shortened a lot, and China
However, the army's logistics supply line has been extended very much, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of logistics support. In addition, the US military has developed anti-aircraft machine guns specially used for air defense. When facing the attack of the Chinese Air Force, they no longer have to be beaten.
, at least it has a certain counterattack power, which has greatly increased the morale of the US military.
General Pershing also set off from Washington and rushed to Mexico City. At the same time, the US General of the War once again sent twenty troops, that is, reinforcements from one million troops, to the Mexican battlefield within half a month.
It further improved the confidence of the US military.
As soon as General Davis arrived in Mexico City, someone came to visit. Mexican President Madero, Vice President Dias and several cabinet members of the Mexican government all came to General Davis's command.
I don’t like these people very much, but now the US military is fighting on Mexico’s territory, and there are many places that require the cooperation of the Mexican government. Therefore, General Davis has to patiently meet them.
"His Excellency President, and you all, come to me so late, what's wrong?" asked Admiral Davis, his face full of fatigue, rushed from the defense line of the Southern Madre to Mexico City, and all the way
I haven't had much rest. After arriving in Mexico, he immediately began to reorganize the defeated US troops and deploy a new line of defense. This consumed too much energy. Now he has to deal with these politicians in Mexico, which makes him very
exhausted.
"General Davis, we want to know if your army has the strength to block the Chinese people south of Mexico City? Keep the capital of Mexico?" Mexican President Madero asked. He looked anxious and regretted it in his heart.
He didn't know why he was so stupid at the beginning. He betrayed China after hearing the American bewitching. He originally thought that the US military could drive the Chinese out of North America so that he would no longer be a puppet. But he didn't expect that the Americans would be so careless.
Millions of people still have the advantage of geographical advantage, but they were beaten up by the Chinese, looking for teeth. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but even the defense line was broken! I'm afraid that in a short while, the Chinese will be defeated by the city of Mexico.
.This is like a disaster for these senior Mexican government officials who betrayed China. You don’t have to think about it and know that China will definitely not let them go. Once caught by the Chinese, they will be removed from their posts.
They are all light, and they might even be sent to the gallows. This scared these high-ranking officials who were usually arrogant and regretful. It is too late to regret it now. They just want to be in Mexico City, although the power is very strong.
Important, but life is even more important!
"Everyone, please believe that the US military has enough ability to defend Mexico City, and we will definitely block the Chinese people south of the defense line. The US government has completed the transition, and President Roosevelt has come to power again. He will lead us to defeat the Chinese people.
.In addition, the US government has once again sent millions of reinforcements, and we have sufficient troops to deal with the Chinese attack. Therefore, Mexico City must be safe!" Admiral Davis assured everyone
But, these senior officials of the Mexican government did not believe what he said so much!
"General Davis, when your army was in the defense line of the Southern Madre, he promised us this way! But in just two months, the defense line of the Southern Madre has been broken through by the Chinese!" The Mexican government
A senior official ruthlessly exposes the truth.
Suddenly, Admiral Davis's face looked a little ugly. The defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains was broken. Although the US military suffered heavy losses, it was not something that these Mexicans could blame. Although the US military was not an opponent of the Chinese army, it had to deal with these Mexicans.
If so, it's still easy to win. However, the war is still going on, and General Davis doesn't want to establish another enemy for the United States, even if the enemy's strength is very trash. A turbulent Mexico is obviously not in the interests of the United States.
.
"His Excellency President, if you don't believe us, then I have no other way. However, the US military will do its best to resist the Chinese. After all, if the defense line is broken through by the Chinese again, there is no point in the United States.
The benefit!" Admiral Davis suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
President Madero nodded. If Mexico City is captured by China, it will certainly be a disaster for them, senior officials of the Mexican government. But it is not a good thing for the United States. Once the Chinese army breaks into northern Mexico
After that, it will be able to directly pose a threat to the United States.
"General, after our discussion, we plan to move the Mexican government to San Luis Potosi." President Madero said. Senior officials of the Mexican government are not optimistic about the US military and are unwilling to accompany the US military to fall into crisis.
"No, if the Mexican government evacuates Mexico City, it will cause the morale to shake. We hope the Mexican government will stick with us until the last moment!" Admiral Davis flatly refused.
"Why? We are not soldiers. Mexico City is so dangerous now. Why should we stop us from leaving?" Senior officials of the Mexican government immediately stopped and shouted.
In the end, Admiral Davis had to assure them that once the US military could not hold on to the central Mexico defense line, senior officials of the Mexican government could evacuate as soon as possible. This was the biggest compromise the US military could make.
After seeing General Davis' toughness, the senior officials had to agree. They just didn't want to die in the war. As long as they could evacuate before the Chinese army broke through Mexico City and not be caught by the Chinese, that would be enough.
While the US military was preparing for war and building the central Mexico defense line, the Chinese army was also preparing for war. Ships of arms, oil, food and other military supplies arrived in Acapulco by sea. Then they were transported by truck.
The preparations for the Chinese army are also proceeding in an orderly manner. The arrival of a large number of new recruits allows the lost units on the battlefield to be supplemented. In addition, the 20 divisions dispatched by the General Staff
reinforcements are about to arrive. This will further strengthen the Chinese army's strength on the Mexican battlefield.
On April 8th, Marshal Zhao Bowen arrived in Acapulco in person. Because, a group of the most important reinforcements will arrive today. But the navy's transport ship was approaching the port, a camouflaged wild wolf, lightweight
The tank first drove down from the transport ship. This tank belongs to the armored brigade of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army!
