On the night of February 29, the gunfire in San Luis Potosi had stopped. Except for the sounds of some burning trees and collapsed houses, everything seemed extremely quiet. If it weren't for the blood and gunfire that could be seen everywhere in the city,
With all the limbs and arms broken, it doesn't look like a war has broken out here at all.
Even though the Chinese army has stopped attacking, the Chinese army's performance today has taught the US military a good lesson. Originally, the US military thought that it had already built defenses that were enough to withstand the Chinese army's attack.
.In street fighting, they will definitely be able to use these advantages to inflict great damage to the Chinese army.
However, everyone never expected that even if they were on the unfavorable side, the Chinese army's excellent tactics and almost perfect coordination would still severely damage the US military, which had taken a huge advantage. After a few hours of fighting, the US military had enough.
Unfortunately, the outer urban areas to the east and south of San Luis Potosi have fallen into the hands of the Chinese army.
The generals of the regiment and above of the US military were all summoned to the headquarters by John Bates. The small conference room of the underground headquarters was immediately filled with people. In addition, some people were smoking and the exhaust system was not very good. The whole meeting was filled with people.
Indoors, it seemed very dull.
John Bates's face didn't look good either. The Chinese army's powerful strength in the street battles frightened him. If the Chinese army still showed such powerful combat power in the following battles, he would be a little worried.
I doubt whether Major General Pershing can hold San Luis Potosi before he destroys the Chinese army's logistics supply base!
"Everyone, I am very dissatisfied with today's battle. Although the strength of the Chinese army exceeded our expectations. However, we have countless defenses, but we are still fighting like this. This is very disappointing. If this is the case,
, can we still hold San Luis Potosi? Once we are defeated, I am afraid we will be driven out of Mexico!" Lieutenant General John Bates said with a dark face.
"General, the Chinese are much better at street fighting tactics than we are. Their skilled coordination and combat skills leave us with no ability to counterattack!" Brigadier General Quincy, commander of the US 26th Division, argued.
"I don't want to do this, I only care about the final result! We must defend San Luis Potosi before reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, everything will be over!" Lieutenant General John Bates said angrily.
"Yes, General!" All the officers replied, but they looked a little downcast. It was obvious that these officers had lost some confidence in this war.
Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General John Bates frowned. If even these officers had lost confidence, how could the soldiers below muster the courage to fight the Chinese?
"Ahem!" Lieutenant General John Bates coughed. After attracting everyone's attention, he then said: "No need to be pessimistic. Although the current battle situation is very unfavorable, we are not without hope of winning!"
Everyone looked at Lieutenant General John Bates inexplicably, wondering where he got his confidence. You know, the current war situation is already terrible. Although the US military still has a huge advantage in strength, it still has the initiative on the battlefield.
, has been completely controlled by the Chinese army
Under control. If no miracle happened or God appeared, they would definitely lose this battle. However, it seems that in every war between China and the United States, God is on the side of the Chinese, which makes these pious people
Believers, how embarrassing it is!
"Does anyone know what Major General Pershing did?" Lieutenant General John Bates asked.
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. Only then did the group recall that Major General Pershing seemed to have never shown up during today's battle!
"Let me tell you! Major General Pershing has led people to sneak attack on the Chinese logistics supply base. As long as it succeeds, the Chinese will lose their logistics. In this way, they will become a tiger without teeth. We will eventually be able to
Victory!" Lieutenant General Bates said!
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. Most people didn't know that the US military actually had such a plan. However, this plan did give them some hope. A large part of the reason for the strength of the Chinese army is the establishment of
In terms of firepower, if they lose supplies, they may really have a chance to turn defeat into victory. No one likes to lose, and the same goes for these US military officers. As long as there is a possibility of victory, they will definitely work hard to win.
!
"However, the prerequisite is that we must defend San Luis Potosi before Major General Pershing destroys the Chinese logistics supply base! Otherwise, everything will be empty talk! One day has passed now, and there are still three days at most.
.As long as we persist these three days, victory will belong to us!" Lieutenant General Bates said.
"Yes, General, we will definitely defend San Luis Potosi!" The morale of the US military officers increased a lot for a while!
In the next two days, the Chinese Army's 3rd Marine Division and the 11th Army Division took turns to launch fierce attacks on San Luis Potosi. In street fighting, the US military was no match for the Chinese army. However, they
The fighting was also very tenacious. The Chinese army even had to compete with the US military for every house and every ruin.
Although the Chinese army's attack caused great casualties to the US military, their progress was also greatly affected. Two days later, the Chinese army only occupied half of San Luis Potosi.
It's just an urban area. It seems that it will take two days or more to completely drive the US military out of San Luis Potosi!
At this time, a huge army was marching rapidly on the Mexican plateau, with cavalry constantly galloping past this army. This army was led by U.S. Major General John Pershing, who came from San Luis Potosí.
Set off to prepare for a sneak attack on China
The troops at the army's logistics base. Those cavalry are the American cavalry who are conducting reconnaissance around the march route. They not only have to play the role of opening the way, but also have to seal the confidence tightly to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed. Major General Pershing knew that he wanted to destroy
Okan
If they want to attack Ocampo, they must launch a surprise attack. Once the Chinese army is on guard, it will not be so easy for them to capture Ocampo! Therefore, all the Mexicans they encounter along the way are secretly dealt with by the US military.
Although this method is a bit cruel, it has to be done in order to keep it secret! No one can guarantee whether there are spies bribed by the Chinese among these Mexicans. Anyway, in war, human life is inherently worthless.
, let alone the weak Mexicans!
On March 2, Major General Pershing led his army to a valley, which was only fifteen kilometers away from Ocampo. If you go further, you will encounter Chinese army scouts. Therefore, Major General Pershing prepared to
Rest here for a night to allow the soldiers to regain their strength, and then start tomorrow
He launched an attack that morning, trying to capture Ocampo in one fell swoop and destroy all the logistics supplies of the Chinese army. At the same time, he was still waiting for intelligence from Ocampo. Before his plan began, some Mexican soldiers who had been bribed by the United States
People have already blended into that small town!
Without letting Major General Pershing wait, he got the news from Ocampo that night. What made Major General Pershing very happy was that this time, God seemed to be on the side of the Americans. The Chinese Army's Baggage Brigade
, just escorted a batch of weapons today
The ammunition went to the front line of San Luis Potosi, leaving only one battalion of troops to defend Ocampo. Now, the main force defending here is the two armies of the new Mexican government. As for the troops of the new Mexican government, Major General Pershing basically
I didn’t take it seriously!
At that moment, Major General Pershing summoned the commanders of the 28th Division, the 43rd Division, and the commanders of the four cavalry regiments!
"Everyone, our mission this time is very clear to everyone, which is to destroy the Chinese logistics base in Ocampo. Once this is destroyed, the Chinese army on the front line will lose supplies, and we will win the war.
, it is very easy. Now, according to what we get
The latest news is that the army defending Ocampo only has one Chinese battalion and two infantry divisions of the new Mexican government. This will be an excellent opportunity for us! I believe that we will be able to
Success!" Major General Pershing said excitedly, as if victory was right in front of him!
Others were also happy. Originally, they thought the attack on Ocampo would be a tough battle, but they did not expect it to be like this. The troops of the new Mexican government were not taken seriously by them at all. China
Although the army is a little more difficult, there is only one battalion, and they can definitely win the final victory.
"Now I order that at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, four cavalry regiments will launch a surprise attack on the Mexican division north of Ocampo and defeat them in the shortest possible time! Two infantry divisions will follow closely to attack the Mexican division.
Campo launches an attack. Success or failure depends on this!" Major General Pershing said.
"Yes, General!" the officers replied loudly.
On the morning of March 3, before dawn, four US cavalry regiments with nearly 5,000 cavalry had already set off. They arrived two kilometers north of the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army, and then attacked the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army.
The 2nd Division launched the attack.
The sudden attack by the U.S. cavalry caused the unprepared 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army to collapse in an instant. No one even thought of notifying the defenders of Ocampo!
