The first thousand one hundred and fifty-eight chapters cut off the back road
San Antonio, within the command of the US military. The commander of the 72nd Army, General Anthony, and Major General Billy, commander of the 75th Army, faced a telegram with a frown. After the Chinese Army's armored forces arrived at the periphery of San Antonio, the two immediately followed this situation to the
General Pershing made a report. General Pershing immediately sent a telegram asking them to stick to San Antonio and told them that reinforcements were already on the way. They could come to reinforce them in only three days at most.
.
San Antonio is an important center in the southern United States and is also the rear of the US military's defense line in the River Grand. Since the US military began to build a defense line along the River Grand, the US military has hoarded its main combat materials in San Antonio. After all, San Antonio is away from Grand
The river exceeds 200 kilometers, far from the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force, can effectively prevent the bombing of the Chinese Air Force. Moreover, in order to strengthen the defense here, the US military deployed five defenders in San Antonio. However, because of the Grand River, the Grand River
The situation of the defense line is getting worse and worse. The US military began to draw a large number of troops from the rear to reinforce the front line, and the San Antonio garrison was also within the range of the transfer. Now, there are only two troops left in San Antonio.
Originally, all the US generals, including General Pershing, believed that since the Chinese Army launched an attack at the same time in Laredo and McAllen, the main attack direction of the Chinese army must be these two places. This makes the US military feel at ease.
Boldly mobilized troops from the rear to strengthen the defense of Laredo and McAllen. However, the Chinese army unexpectedly launched an attack from Igorpass, and it was the main force. This is undoubtedly the most important thing in the US
The deadly part launched an attack. Once San Antonio was captured by the Chinese army, millions of US troops in the forefront would lose their logistics supplies. This is definitely an unprecedented defeat for the US military. The main force of the US Army may even be in this way.
It will be completely destroyed during the war. At that time, it will be impossible for the US military to resist the attack of the Chinese army.
After learning that the Chinese army began to march towards San Antonio and that the armored forces were attacking San Antonio from Igorpass, General Pershing ordered the US 72nd Army and the 75th Army to defend San Antonio to the death, and at the same time, the troops were drawn from various places to reinforce.
San Antonio. However, the troops around San Antonio have been drawn out. No matter which direction the US military is dispatched, it will take several days. This undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the US military to defend San Antonio. If reinforcements cannot
If you arrive in time, it is impossible to rely solely on the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people of the US 72nd Army and the 75th Army to defend San Antonio.
"Damn it, General Pershing actually asked us to defend San Antonio! We only have two armies, how can we defend it?" Major General Antonio, the commander of the 72nd Army, said angrily. He had previously sent the 287th Infantry Division to block the Chinese army.
, but under the attack of the Chinese Army's armored forces, the 287th Infantry Division was defeated in more than an hour, which shocked him and did not have much confidence in defending San Antonio.
"Anthony, didn't General Pershing tell us that the reinforcements were already on the road? At most, three days will arrive. There are only more than 30,000 Chinese outside the city, and even if they are armored troops, we have 100,000.
It should be fine if the human force lasts for three days!" said Major General Billy, the commander of the 75th Army. Although he knew that the current situation was very bad, what else could he do as an American soldier?
?There is only the only way to fight with the Chinese army! He is very clear about the importance of San Antonio. All the US military's defense line on the Grande River were stored here. If the place is occupied by the Chinese or those materials are destroyed, then this
The battle against the United States is completely over!
"Hmph! Billy, wake up! General Pershing said reinforcements will arrive in three days. In my experience, this is simply impossible. I bet those guys will take at least five days to get there.
When they arrived, they would probably be able to collect our bodies! Don't forget that the Chinese are also marching from Igorpass to San Antonio. The Chinese are marching much faster than ours, so maybe
If the Chinese main force will arrive in San Antonio earlier than our reinforcements. You don’t think we have the ability to defeat the Chinese main force, right? In addition, don’t underestimate the Chinese army outside the city, although they only have more than 30,000 people,
But they have hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles! If we want to resist their attack, it is impossible!" Major General Anthony once participated in the Mexican battlefield and knew the power of the Chinese Army's armored forces. Two armored ones
The brigade's attack power is enough to surpass several US troops!
"Even if the Chinese armored troops are powerful, we also have a lot of anti-tank weapons. I have ordered people to move out all the anti-tank weapons in the warehouse, and we can deploy thousands of anti-tank guns in the city.
In Chinatown, we will destroy all the Chinese tanks and armored vehicles! Only when we can persist until the reinforcements arrive, there will be no problem!" Major General Billy said eagerly. San Antonio stored a large number of US weapons.
There are also many anti-tank weapons. Originally, these anti-tank weapons were sent to the front line. But now that the Chinese soldiers are coming to San Antonio, these weapons cannot be transported away. The US military guarding San Antonio can use these weapons.
Come and fight back against the Chinese army. Although the US military is not an opponent of the Chinese army in field battles, the role of these anti-tank weapons can be fully utilized in urban street fighting!
Major General Anthony nodded. The battle situation has developed to this state, and he has no other way. He has no other way except to defend San Antonio according to General Pershing's order. The only thing he hopes for now is probably
The reinforcements promised by General Pershing can really arrive in three days. Otherwise, it would be harder than climbing to the sky if the US military wanted to defend San Antonio!
On the 27th of KO, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 6th Armored Brigade, the 111th Regiment, the 112th Regiment, the 211th Regiment and the 212th Regiment, a total of more than 33,000 people began to attack San Antonio. The US military in San Antonio
The periphery only built simple fortifications, and it was hastily built after the Chinese army launched an attack on Igor Pass. It is simply impossible to rely on these hastily built fortifications to resist the attack of the Chinese army.
In just half a day, with the assistance of the armored forces, the Chinese army cleared the fortifications outside San Antonio.
Starting from the afternoon, the Chinese army launched an attack on the US troops in the city. However, during the attack, they encountered trouble. In order to make up for the shortage of infantry forces, the armored troops also attacked the city. However, in the fierce street fighting, the
The tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces cannot withstand the attacks launched by the US military from close range with anti-tank guns. When fighting in the field, the Chinese Army's armored forces can also intentionally control the combat distance between the two sides, and the US military's anti-tank guns
Operations outside the effective range to destroy the US anti-tank weapons. However, in street combat, it is not that easy. Narrow streets are not conducive to the rotation of tanks and armored vehicles, and are often deployed by the US military on the corners of the street or on both sides of the street.
The anti-tank guns in it were destroyed. Once the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, the infantry behind were exposed to the dense firepower of the US military, which caused great casualties to the Chinese army.
Even though the Chinese army sent a large number of infantry to protect these tanks and armored vehicles, it was still inevitable to be hit by the US military. The US army always hid anti-tank guns until the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese army's armored troops were less than 100 meters away from them.
Fire again. At this distance, even the TB Cheetah, the armor of the medium tank cannot withstand the shooting of the US anti-tank guns, not to mention the much weaker TP Wolf, light tanks and armored vehicles.
However, even though the Chinese army suffered considerable casualties, their attacks were still very fierce. The US military suffered a lot of losses, and the Chinese army began to occupy part of San Antonio's urban area one after another.
This battle is a tough battle for both the Chinese army and the US military that is defending San Antonio. Even if the US military can use hidden anti-tank weapons to cause great casualties to the Chinese Army's armored forces, this
It cannot make up for the gap between the two sides. Whether it is children who have not yet grown up or middle-aged soldiers, they cannot compare with Chinese soldiers who have experienced many battles in combat.
After the casualties grew, these US soldiers could no longer support them. Faced with the fierce attack of the Chinese army, many US soldiers with mental collapse began to escape. The power of role models was endless. When deserters appeared in the team, the US army was in the army.
The morale can be imagined. If you want the remaining people to persist in fighting, it will be fine unless God appears!
The resistance of the US military is getting weaker and weaker, which undoubtedly gives the Chinese army a better opportunity. The Chinese army immediately increased its attacks, which also made the US military retreat faster and faster.
By the afternoon of October 28, the Chinese army had occupied most of the urban area. At this time, the 141st Regiment of the Chinese Army was the first to arrive on the battlefield. The addition of the new force made the Chinese army's offensive more fierce, while the US reinforcements were delayed.
The inability to arrive caused a huge blow to the morale of the San Antonio defenders.
By October 29, the Chinese army had completely captured San Antonio, while the US military withdrew from the city and retreated to the north of the United States!
