At 8 o'clock in the morning on February 29th, the sun had risen, and the golden sunshine shone down to disperse the dense morning fog. The sound of gunfire in Tierra Colorada had stopped, if it weren't for the smoke still lingering in the air.
Considering the smell and the ruins that can be seen everywhere, no one would have known that a fierce battle had taken place here in the past half month. Nearly a million people from China and the United States had fought fiercely here. However, fortunately,
All this will come to an end for now!
The nearly 200,000 surviving American troops have all evacuated from the fortifications in the city of Tierra Colorada. They lined up in neat lines and stood outside the city of Tierra Colorada. Around them,
There was a mountain-like pile of weapons, various rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns. Mortars, mountain cannons and howitzers were also neatly parked in front of the team. Behind these American officers
The faces of the soldiers showed dissatisfaction with the frustration and loss of defeat, but at the same time, there was also the joy of surviving the disaster. Of course, there was also inevitable confusion about the future. Although China has promised to treat these American prisoners of war well, everyone is still worried about the future.
What kind of encounter they will have, I still secretly guess in my heart. However, compared to those comrades who have died on the battlefield, they are already much luckier!
Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Chinese Army, and General Du Qizheng, Commander of the 7th Army Group, attended the surrender ceremony. In order to prevent accidents, the Chinese army set up at least hundreds of light and heavy machine guns around the US military. On the high ground in the distance
There are also infantry artillery and mortars. In the sky, there are also Chinese Air Force airships parked on the heads of the surrendering US troops. There are also many fighter planes circling.
When the U.S. commander Lieutenant General Clark handed over his gun to Marshal Zhao Bowen, it represented the official end of the Battle of Tiela Colorada. In this battle, the U.S. military paid a heavy price. Although the Chinese Army won,
But it also paid a heavy price. Especially the Japanese mercenaries, once again in this battle
Nearly 100,000 people were lost. Including the more than 100,000 people lost in Hartianjis, the Japanese mercenaries had lost nearly 200,000 people. Compared with the losses of the Japanese mercenaries, the losses of the Chinese Army were
Much smaller. The 7th Army and the 2nd Army lost no more than 40,000 troops in this battle.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I would like to surrender to your army on behalf of the US military in Tierra Colorada. I hope your army can guarantee the treatment we deserve!" Lieutenant General Clark said after handing the gun to Marshal Zhao Bowen.
"General, please rest assured that our army will ensure the safety of your army and the treatment it deserves. However, there is still a problem that needs to be troubled. General, please send a telegram to Major General Powell and ask him to lead his army to surrender, so as not to
Let us both suffer more casualties!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said. Although the battle of Tiela Colorada has ended, the US military led by Major General Powell still has not given up its attack on the Chinese Army's 2nd Group Army. It seems that it has not yet
Abandoning hope of escaping back to Chilpancingo.
Lieutenant General Clark hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. The Chinese army has already won this battle, and there is no point in continuing the battle. The US military led by Major General Powell is also destined to be unable to break through the blockade of the Chinese army.
If Major General Powell refused to surrender, Major General Powell would not be able to escape until the rest of the Chinese Army surrounded him. For the sake of the lives of more compatriots, Lieutenant General Clark agreed to send a telegram to Major General Powell!
At this time, the two armies led by Major General Powell also suffered heavy losses. Although they also caused a lot of casualties to the Chinese Army's 2nd Army, they were ultimately unable to break through the Chinese Army's blockade and tried to escape back to Chilpancingo.
That is even more impossible.
After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Clark, Major General Powell hesitated for a few minutes and finally ordered a halt to the attack. Then he sent an envoy under a white flag to contact the Chinese Second Group Army about the surrender.
At 9:30 in the morning, Major General Powell also led nearly 70,000 defeated soldiers of the US 49th Army and the 50th Army to surrender to the Chinese army.
After the US Army Lieutenant General Davis, who was attacking the east of the Chinese Army's 2nd Army, learned of the news, he immediately led the US Army to retreat eastward, fearing that the Chinese Army's 2nd Army would take the opportunity to attack them. In fact, the Chinese Army
After a hard battle, the 2nd Army also needed time to rest and recuperate, and did not launch an attack on Lieutenant General Davis's troops.
The Battle of Tierra Colorada finally ended successfully, and the Chinese Army once again achieved victory. From the time the Chinese Army began to attack the Sierra Madre del Sur held by the US military to the present, it only lasted a month, but the number of US troops annihilated
It has reached 700,000 people. Combined with the results achieved on other fronts, the losses of the US Army have increased to over one million. The losses of the Chinese Army are not very large. In one! month of fighting
The total losses of the two armies of the National Army and the other 20 infantry divisions were about 120,000 people. The Japanese mercenaries lost about 250,000 people, and the Korean mercenaries also lost about 50,000 people. Although the losses were not high,
It is small but nothing compared to the results achieved. Moreover, the US military's successive defeats have caused many loopholes in the US military's defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur, creating opportunities for the Chinese army to break through the US military's defense line and enter the hinterland of Mexico.

After the victory of the Battle of Tiela Colorada was reported back to the country, it once again aroused the cheers of the people in the country. The previous victory in the Battle of Hartianjis had already ignited the enthusiasm of the people. This time the Battle of Tiela Colorada
The results of the war were greater, and the people of the empire were even more excited. Grand parades and celebrations were held in major cities across the country. Some people who were originally a little worried about this war also regained their confidence in the empire and the empire because of the continuous victories of the frontline troops.
The army is full of confidence.
The generals within the imperial military who were initially dissatisfied with Zhao Bowen's appointment as Imperial Army Minister or even his promotion to Field Marshal were all convinced now. If it were them, they might not be able to do better than Marshal Zhao Bowen. The army
Even in a highly hierarchical place, without outstanding talents, it would be very difficult to get promoted. However, Marshal Zhao Bowen once again proved his talents with great military exploits, proving that the choice of Emperor Wang Yuze was correct.
.
The Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze even ordered to commend the troops and generals on the front line, and also asked the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense to be responsible for replenishing combat materials and soldiers on the front line. After experiencing a tragic war, the Chinese Army's losses were not small, and it also needed
It took a period of replenishment and rest before the attack could be relaunched. In particular, the consumption of strategic supplies was extremely alarming, and the remaining combat supplies were no longer enough for the frontline troops to launch another large-scale attack. For example, the bombing of the airship force of the Air Force almost destroyed the entire fleet.
All the aerial bombs arriving at the front line were used up.
The fierce battle between China and the United States in southwestern Mexico attracted great attention from other countries besides the two parties involved. At this time in Europe, the ice and snow had not yet melted, and the war between Germany and Austria, Britain, France and Russia was due to the
It was unable to proceed due to the weather, so we had to focus on preparations for the battle.
At the same time, they are also very concerned about the war between China and the United States. Whoever wins the war between China and the United States will have a very big impact on the ongoing world war. However, at the beginning of the war, the United States relied on
The sudden attack gained the upper hand and gained the upper hand. However, as China's military strength
After continuous investment in Mexico, the initiative in the war seems to have slowly returned to the hands of the Chinese Army. This result has certainly made Germany and Austria very excited, but it has also made Britain, France and Russia nervous.
If China defeats the United States, once China's powerful military strength is invested in Europe,
So how can they resist? Therefore, Britain, France, and Russia kept urging the U.S. government, asking them to hold China back no matter what, at least not to lose the war until they defeated Germany and Austria-Hungary. At the same time, the Allies also strengthened their
The wooing of Italy was an attempt to further strengthen the strength of the Allied Powers.
General Pershing, the top commander of the U.S. military in Mexico, was undoubtedly the most frustrated. After Lieutenant General Clark surrendered, the defense line he had painstakingly established in the Sierra Madre del Sur was already crumbling. Because too many troops were lost, many problems appeared on this line of defense.
loopholes. General Pershing no longer has much confidence in holding this line of defense.
At the Barsa River north of the Sierra Madre del Sur defense line, the Chinese Army's 8th Group Army, with the assistance of 200,000 North Korean mercenaries, finally broke through the U.S. military's defense line. During this period, the Chinese Navy also played a big role. China
The navy's light cruisers and destroyers sailed directly into the Balsa River, suppressed the US artillery, and then exited
They moved transport ships and transported a large number of North Korean mercenaries across the river. Although the resistance of the US military was very fierce, the North Korean mercenaries who crossed the river paid a heavy price. However, in the end, the US military was still unable to persist. Especially when the US military was
The successive defeats of Haltiangis and Tiela Colorada greatly affected the morale of the US military.
On the afternoon of February 29, the U.S. military abandoned the Barsa River defense line and retreated eastward. The U.S. military abandoned the Barsa River defense line, which actually marked that the Southern Madre Mountains established by General Pershing had been broken through. It was just restricted.
Due to the barrier of the mountains, the Chinese army is temporarily unable to pose danger to General Pershing's main force. But for the president, the defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur is indeed on the verge of collapse!
