Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters counterattack
After the second attack by the US military on San Luis Potosi failed, Moon Shaozhe paused the attack and prepared to let the soldiers take a break and continue the attack after lunch. However, with a letter from Lieutenant General Pershing.
Telegram forced him to stop this suicide attack. In the telegram, Lieutenant General Pershing ordered him to stop this stupid attack, retain his strength, and wait for the arrival of the 11th and 13th Army to attack San Luis Potosi.
.
After reading the telegram, Major General Moon was embarrassed and angry. Major General George, the commander of the 11th Army, won the victory and was approaching St. Louis Potosi, but he was bleeding from his head in St. Louis Potosi.
, Doesn’t this mean that he is not as good as Major General George?
The angry Major General Moon found Major General Duncan, the commander of the 5th Army, just like a furious lion!
"It's you, you told the general, right?" Major General Moon roared angrily at Major General Duncan.
"General Moon, I just did what I should do!" Major General Duncan said with a calm expression!
"Okay, very good! You will pay the price for your despicable behavior today!" Major General Moon threw down a harsh words and slammed the door and left.
Major General Zanken shook his head helplessly. He knew that Major General Mun was vengeful and this time he had completely offended him. However, he had no choice but to let him go because of Major General Mun's random command.
Let's go to die? You know, in the battle this morning, Major General Mun sent all the troops under the 5th Army, and Major General Mun's own direct troops were not used. Major General Mun's doubts
If he doesn't find a way to stop Major General Moon's behavior, his 5th Army might have fought all of them here. Compared with Major General Moon, Major General Duncan is not the direct descendant of Lieutenant General Pershing, and it is also not worthy of being used.
It's natural. But this does not mean that Major General Moon can suppress him wantonly!
Lieutenant General Pershing ordered Major General Moon to stop his large-scale attack on San Luis Potosi, which made Major General Moon very angry. Although the losses were very large in the morning, he believed that war was going to kill people. A little bit of loss was also a little bit.
What is it? Although the US military has suffered a great loss, the Chinese will definitely suffer a lot. The US military has sufficient military strength to supplement it, but the Chinese die one less. Even if two US soldiers are replaced by one Chinese, then
The US military also took advantage of it. But he never expected that Pershingzhong would scold him for this, which made him very dissatisfied, but he had to stop his large-scale attack on San Luis Potosi. During the afternoon attack, Moon
The major general only sent troops at the regiment level to conduct tentative attacks. Moreover, these troops did not use the troops of the 15th Army anymore, they were all direct troops of the 12th Army!
After the sun set, the attack of the US military completely stopped. However, even so, the US military's losses today were around 15,000 people. The casualties paid by the Chinese defenders were less than 2,000. In comparison,
, The damage rate of this battle is already amazing!
In the evening of that day, after General Gao Chang, the commander of the Sixth Army in San Luis Potosi, received the battle report, his face was very serious.
"Commander, we have lost less than two thousand popular people, but the Americans have lost at least tens of thousands of people. This is a big victory!" said Lieutenant General Yang Ming, Chief of Staff.
"I know! But now it's not up to me! On the Eastern Front, the US military has two more armies advancing towards San Luis Potosi. Those rabble-men who rely on the Mexican government forces can withstand them for at most two or three days. They will
Arrived in San Luis Potosi.
At that time, we will be besieged by four US troops, and the situation will be very critical!" General Gao Chang said.
"Commander, if we really arrive at that time, won't we just need to retreat? The Seventh Army has set out from Hawaii and will arrive in Mexico in about ten days. I think if the US military wants to annihilate us within ten days, then it will be basically
It's unlikely!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming said with a smile. He was very optimistic. Although the current situation is more dangerous, he has always been convinced that the final victory must belong to the Chinese army!
"With that being said, if we retreat from the front line and allow the US troops to attack the heart of Mexico, there will be a series of chain reactions. First, the Mexican government forces' will to resist will be further reduced, and even in the subsequent battles
There is no use at all. In addition, the Madero government is also swaying. Although we firmly believe that we will win in the end, as long as we lose, the Madero government will definitely be shaken. In addition, even if reinforcements arrive, we must
It may take several days to arrive at the front line. And during this period, many variables will definitely occur!" General Gao Chang said with some concern!
"Commander, what you mean is that if the war on the front line is not going well, will the Mexicans betray us?" Lieutenant General Yang Ming's face also became serious!
"It is very likely. Maderan is the president of Mexico now, but the government's power is basically controlled by us. If the Americans use this as bait, Madero is likely to betray China and throw himself into the arms of the Americans!"
General Chang said!
"Aren't they afraid that we will settle the score with them? Once they betray the Empire, the Empire will defeat the Americans by then, and they will obviously not let them go!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming said in surprise.
"Madero is a typical politician. For the sake of his interests, he will definitely take risks. If the Americans support him in unifying Mexico, he might really turn to the Americans!" General Gao Chang guessed.
"But, haven't the Americans always supported Dias? If they support Madero's unification of Mexico, Dias will definitely object!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming said.
"Chief of Staff, Dias is just a pawn in the hands of the Americans. His attitude is not important! In the face of sufficient interests, if the Americans want to give up this pawn, Dias will not have any
Solution!" said General Gao Chang.
Lieutenant General Yang Ming thought about it, it was indeed the case.
"Commander, what are you going to do? I fully support you!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming said.
"I want to launch a counterattack against the Americans before retreating and hurt the Americans. After that, we will take the initiative to retreat, so that the Mexican government forces can see our strength and strengthen their will to resist!" said General Gao Chang.
.
"Counterattack against the Americans? Although it is a bit risky, it may not be feasible if planned well! Commander, when are you going to launch a counterattack?" said Lieutenant General Yang Ming. Although the US military has two armies with nearly 100,000 people, it is China.
Nearly twice the defenders. But if a sudden attack is launched, there is a great possibility of success!
"No further ado, just tonight! I am going to let the 11th Division and the Cavalry Brigade be the main force, tear open the US defense line. Then use the divisions of four Mexican government forces to expand the results!" General Gao Chang said.
"Mexicans? Are they okay?" Lieutenant General Yang Ming curled his lips disdainfully. He was very skeptical of the combat effectiveness of the Mexican government forces!
"Don't worry! Although these Mexicans have poor combat effectiveness, as long as we can tear open the Americans' defense line, they will be very encouraging. Maybe they can bring us a surprise!" General Gao Chang said.
Said affirmatively.
"Okay, Commander, just do what you said!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming completely agreed with General Gao Chang's strategy.
At this moment, the defenders of San Luis Potosi became busy.
The 68th Division took over the front line's defense line, and the 11th Division and the Cavalry Brigade gathered together. General Gao Chang told the 11th Division's commander Major General Zhou Hao and the brigade commander of the Cavalry Brigade Brigade Brigade Brigade Brigade Commander Brigade Brigade.
Both agreed with this plan and assured General Gao Chang that they would break through the US military's defense line once they could. In order to enhance the suddenness of the raid, the time of the raid was located at 1 a.m. At the same time, the artillery brigade would also
Two battalions were drawn to provide fire support for them. When launching an assault, the artillery brigade would provide them with twenty minutes of artillery preparation.
After the night general, the 11th Division of the Sixth Army secretly left San Luis Potosi and hid in the forest three kilometers away from the US position. The Cavalry Brigade also hid in a valley on the other side, waiting for
The general attacker’s order!
Time passed slowly and it was soon 1 a.m. At this time, the moon had already set in the west, and the faint moonlight was shining on the ground. Although it was not very bright, it could basically see the road.
The two battalions of the Artillery Brigade also left to a place only five kilometers away from the US military's position. One of these two battalions is the 155mm heavy howitzer battalion, and the other is the 155mm heavy cannon battalion. The targets they shelled will not
It is the frontier position of the US military, but after the Chinese army launched a counterattack, it shelled the core area of the US military's base, causing chaos for the US military.
When the pointer of the watch pointed at 1 o'clock, the 11th Division and the Cavalry Brigade of the Sixth Army launched an attack at the same time, and the two troops launched an attack from both north and south respectively. Although the US military deployed on the fortifications in front
The troops, but they had no idea that the Chinese defenders would dare to launch an attack.
For a moment, the US military seemed a little panicked. By the time they realized it, the cavalry brigade of the Chinese army had rushed to the front, and the sound of horse hooves like thunder made the earth tremble as if it was trembling. A sharp sabre,
Under the cold moonlight, there is a white light shining.
"Enemy attack! Get ready to open fire!" The officers on the front line of the US military kicked the soldiers who were sleeping. The sleepy American soldiers had not yet come back to their senses!
