At five o'clock in the morning, it is the coldest time of the day. Although the climate in the Mexican plateau in March is already relatively warm, the temperature is also relatively low at five o'clock in the morning. It is three kilometers north of Ocampo at the border.
The 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army has completely relaxed its vigilance. This division was reorganized from the original Peasant Rebel Army of Pancho Villa. Although it has new equipment, its combat effectiveness is still relatively poor.
Moreover, Ocampo has always been relatively safe these days, which also makes these Mexicans think that the battle between the Chinese army and the US military is taking place near San Luis Potosi, and Ocampo belongs to the rear and will not be in any danger. Therefore,
There are more than 10,000 people in this division. From the division commander to the soldiers below, no one was prepared for the sudden attack by the US military. So, when they were raided, the entire division fell into panic!
The tactics used by the US military are exactly the same as the cavalry brigade of the Chinese Sixth Army's assault on the 15th Division of the US First Army, except that the time of the attack is slightly different. Compared with the US 15th Division, the new Mexican government forces
The defense of the 2nd Division was even more lax. Even the sentries were curled up and taking a nap, so that they were easily killed by the US military in their sleep.
After that, four US cavalry regiments launched a surprise attack on the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army. The collapse of the unprepared 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army was a matter of course. From the time the US military launched the surprise attack to the end of the battle, it was just a matter of seconds.
In half an hour, more than 12,000 men of the 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army were completely defeated. Although not many Mexican soldiers were killed, the Mexican soldiers who were captured and escaped
After defeating the 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army, Major General Pershing immediately ordered an attack on Ocampo. The 28th Division and the 43rd Division of the US Army, with a total of more than 25,000 people, began
At this moment, there are only one battalion of Chinese troops defending Ocampo and more than 12,000 people from the 1st Division of the new Mexican government army. However, their combat effectiveness is extremely low and can almost be ignored.
!
The US military raided the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army. Although the raided Mexican army did not report to Ocampo, the flames soaring into the sky were still noticed by Ocampo's defenders! However, they did not expect that it was the US military who initiated the attack.
They thought something had happened in the Mexican army camp, such as a mutiny among the soldiers!
As soon as the scouts dispatched Ocampo, they encountered Mexican soldiers who had escaped back. At the same time, Ocampo's defenders also learned about the U.S. raid. For a moment, Ocampo's defenders became panicked.
"Damn it, why did the Americans show up here? They should be fighting fiercely with the Chinese in San Luis Potosi!" After being informed of the news, Pancho Villa, the Minister of War of the new Mexican government, immediately started from
He jumped up on the bed, his face full of panic. This time the Chinese army launched an attack on the US military. He led six divisions of the new Mexican government army to assist. However, because he knew
The Mexican army does not have much combat effectiveness, so China mainly tasks the Mexican army with protecting the logistics supply lines. Four divisions have been deployed along the way from Mexico City to San Luis Potosi, and the remaining two divisions have been placed in Austria.
Campo. However, no one expected that this division would collapse so quickly. At the same time, this also put Ocampo into an extremely dangerous situation.
"Come here, go find Battalion Commander Zhao immediately. The Americans are about to call. What should we do?" Pancho Villa shouted in panic. Although the new Mexican government had only been established not long ago, Pancho Villa
Joe Villa no longer has the courage he once had, and is even more yearning for a luxurious life. At the same time, he has become more greedy for life and afraid of death!
The Baggage Brigade of the Sixth Army had already transported a batch of supplies, weapons and ammunition to the front line of San Luis Potosi yesterday morning. The army fought very hard in San Luis Potosi, and weapons and ammunition were consumed relatively quickly. Therefore, the Baggage Brigade
Only one guard battalion was left to guard Ocampo. Their duty was more to supervise the Mexican army. However, no one could have imagined that such a thing would happen!
Major Zhao Bin, the battalion commander of the baggage brigade guard battalion, was also shocked after receiving the news. He immediately realized that the US military wanted to destroy Ocampo, but with the troops he had, he simply could not hold it.
.But even so, Major Zhao Bin still issued an order to prepare for battle, and at the same time reported the U.S. military's raid on Ocampo to the brigade headquarters and group army headquarters. In addition, he sent someone to supervise the Mexican army and prepare for battle!
"Battle Commander Zhao, the Americans are coming. There are tens of thousands of people. The 2nd Division has collapsed. We are no match for the Americans at all. We should retreat quickly!" Pancho Villa took the initiative.
He found Zhao Bin and expressed his opinion. In his opinion, since he couldn't hold on any longer, it was better to escape as soon as possible!
"No! My duty is to guard here. I have already sent a telegram to the brigade headquarters and the army headquarters. I will not retreat until I receive an order to retreat. Minister Villa, order your troops,
Enter the battle immediately!" Major Zhao Bin said coldly.
"Battle Commander Zhao, there are tens of thousands of Americans! We can't defeat them!" Pancho Villa said in a daze. He didn't expect that Major Zhao Bin would stay and die. His head was damaged.
Did the donkey get kicked?
"Hmph! Although the Americans are powerful, even if we die in battle, the Americans will still have to pay a sufficient price!" Major Zhao Bin said firmly!
"Crazy! You Chinese are all crazy! You are seeking death, and I will not accompany you!" After Pancho Villa finished speaking, he was about to leave alone, but the next moment, he had to stop.
The pistol was already pointed at his head, and the black muzzle was pressed against his temple. From the firm eyes of Major Zhao Bin, Pancho Villa believed that if he dared to leave, Major Zhao Bin would
Will definitely shoot!
"Captain Zhao, I am the Minister of War of Mexico, and you did not attack me with all your strength!" Pancho Villa shouted as loudly as if he were killing a pig. Now, the revolution has won, and as a 'revolutionary hero'
Pancho Villa cherishes his life very much!
"Minister Villa, in my eyes, there is no minister of war, only deserters! According to the military regulations of the Chinese army, deserters can be shot directly!" Major Zhao Bin said with a cold face.
"Captain Zhao, I didn't say I was leaving! I'm here to gather the troops to prepare for battle!" For the sake of his own life, Pancho Villa immediately changed his tune!
"Humph, you don't have to leave, just stay at my headquarters! I will command your army to fight. Come, watch Minister Villa!" Major Zhao Bin left the battalion headquarters after saying that.
Pancho Villa was guarded by two guards.
"Captain Zhao, you are illegally imprisoning me. I want to accuse you in front of General Gao!" Pancho Villa shouted very dissatisfied. But no one paid him any attention. He wanted to leave, but the two
The rifle in the guard's hand was pressed against his chest, forcing him to submit obediently!
Under the supervision of the Chinese army, the soldiers of the 1st Division of the New Mexican Government Army reluctantly entered the trenches to prepare to resist the attack of the US army. Although Zhao Bin was only a major battalion commander, the 1st Division
The senior officers of the division did not dare to disobey his orders!
When Ocampo's defenders were ready, the U.S. military had already launched an attack. The leading group was still four cavalry regiments. After defeating the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army in the north, they rushed towards Ocampo non-stop.
Come, I want to capture Ocampo's defenders here when they are unprepared. As for the remaining troops of the 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army, leave it to the infantry behind to deal with it!
"Charge!" Nearly five thousand American cavalry rushed towards Ocampo's garrison position. The cavalry was very fast, and it only took them a few minutes to cover a kilometer.
"Artillery fire! Heavy machine guns, light machine guns fire!" Major Zhao Bin, who arrived at the forward position, calmly gave the order!
"Boom!" The artillery platoon of the guard battalion, equipped with two infantry guns and two heavy mortars, immediately began shelling, pouring artillery shells at the U.S. military at the maximum rate of fire. In contrast, the new Mexican government forces
They are equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns, but their rate of fire is far inferior to that of Chinese artillery.
The artillery shells fell among the U.S. cavalry formations, killing many people. However, because the number of cannons was too small, they could not cause too many casualties to the U.S. troops, nor could they stop their advance.
"Click, click, click!" The 9 heavy machine guns and 27 light machine guns belonging to the guard battalion opened fire one after another. The dense bullets formed a defense line made of steel. After the American cavalry hit the defense line, they were immediately hit with a bloody head.
Flow. The twelve heavy machine guns of the 1st Division of the new Mexican government army have also begun to be designed. The powerful firepower is temporarily
The U.S. cavalry was prevented from charging. However, the U.S. cavalry, whose attack was blocked, did not give up, but began to take a circuitous route. They wanted to tear apart the Ocampo defenders' defense line from the weak point. At the same time, the infantry behind them quickly arrived.
, everyone believed that Ocampo could not defend against the U.S. military with huge military superiority!
On the morning of March 3, the Sixth Army headquarters established eight kilometers away from San Luis Potosi was already busy. The Chinese army had already controlled half of the city of San Luis Potosi. Today, the Chinese army will further compress the U.S. military.
Living space.
At this moment, a telegram from Ocampo was sent. After the communications officer translated the telegram, his expression suddenly changed!
