Chapter 966 The war starts again
"General, should we launch a tentative attack on the Chinese? Maybe the reason why the Chinese have been slow to launch an attack on Chilpansingo was because they encountered some trouble. For example, there was a problem with logistics supply?" Lieutenant General Davis suggested. If that is true, this would be a great opportunity for the US military, and it could even defeat China because of this.
A hint of excitement flashed in General Pershing's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace. He knew that the Chinese were not fools. Even if the logistics supply of the Chinese army was problematic, the Chinese army would definitely leave behind combat materials that could protect themselves. Now the US military is depressed and its defense is a bit reluctant. If it takes the initiative to attack, if it is defeated, it will cause the morale of the US military to fall to the bottom. This is also very unfavorable for the subsequent defensive operations. Admiral Pershing dares not take this risk. The United States requires him to drag the Chinese army to Mexico as much as possible, but does not require him to defeat the Chinese army. Of course, the US government also considers that it is impossible to defeat the Chinese army at present and there is no difficulty for the force. If something goes wrong because of the active attack, then General Pershing will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the domestic authorities.
"Forget it, Davis, our main task now is to defend Chilpansingo and delay the Chinese as much as possible to march into central and northern Mexico. Moreover, after the Chinese rest is over, their attacks will definitely be very fierce. We must further strengthen Chilpansingo's defense!" General Pershing said.
Lieutenant General Davis nodded. Although his suggestion was not adopted, he could understand General Pershing. The current situation was very unfavorable to the US military. If he failed to take the risk, the one who waited for the US military would be defeated. Admiral Pershing was more cautious, which was undoubtedly more in line with the current situation of the US military.
"Order the other troops to hold their positions. In addition, how long will it take for the four troops withdrawn from the north to reach Chilpansingo?" asked General Pershing. Now, after the reinforcements of ten US troops arrived, the US troops in Chilpansingo once again rose to 800,000. However, General Pershing still did not have enough confidence and ordered the four troops who were originally ready to support the Barsa River to return to Chilpansingo. After the defense line of the Barsa River was broken by the Chinese army, General Pershing thought there was no need to stick there anymore. Anyway, the entire southwestern Mexico was covered with mountains and forests and poor transportation conditions, so it would be impossible for the Chinese army to encircle the US military's retreat. Once such a crisis was discovered, General Pershing could order the US troops to abandon the defense line of the South Madre and preserve its strength.
"General, they will arrive in Chilpansingo in at most three days. When this army arrives, our army in Chilpansingo will increase to one million. Chilpansingo cannot accommodate so many people at all, and we have to deploy these troops in the area east of Chilpansingo!" Lieutenant General Davis said. Chilpansingo, built in the valley, can only be regarded as a small city. Although it is larger than Tierra Corolado, it is also limited in size. Even if all the Mexican civilians in the city have left, it is still impossible to accommodate one million troops in this small city. What's more, the Chinese occupy the sky, the Chinese Air Force bombing is very powerful, and too many US troops gathered together, which will make the Chinese Air Force's results even greater.
"It doesn't matter. You can deploy all these troops east of Chilpansingo. As long as the battle begins, they can quickly support Chilpansingo!" General Pershing said indifferently. There is no doubt that if the US military wants to defend Chilpansingo or drag the Chinese army as much as possible, it will also require human life to fill it. Fortunately, the terrain of Chilpansingo allows the US military to complete defense without deploying too many troops, and the same Chinese army cannot carry out the same
Too many troops were driven. Therefore, millions of US troops were invested in the Battle of Chilpansingo, and even if they were consumed as cannon fodder, it would be enough to support a long time. In addition, the US reinforcements also brought a large number of artillery, which made the number of heavy artillery in Chilpansingo with a caliber of more than 5 mm to 2,000, which is twice that of the Chinese Army. This will greatly enhance the defense of the US military. Of course, the prerequisite is that the US artillery must be able to withstand the bombing of the Chinese Air Force!
The Chinese army's combat preparations lasted until March 6. The warehouses established by the seaside of Acapulco were filled with various weapons and ammunition. At the same time, on the road from Acapulco to Tiela Colorada, there were endless transport vehicles of the baggage troops.
On the evening of March 6, Marshal Zhao Bowen, the Minister of the Chinese Army, held a pre-war meeting in the front line command of Tira Colorada.
In addition to the commanders of the 2nd 6th and 7th armies, the Japanese mercenary commander, Yoshima Oshima, also performed very well in the previous battles. Of course, the casualties were also very large. The Japanese mercenaries lost nearly 200,000 people in the Battle of Haltiangis and the Battle of Tiela Cororada, and many divisions were crippled, even to the point of abolishing the establishment. However, although the Japanese mercenaries felt a little distressed about such casualties, it was nothing more. In Japan, there were still a large number of Japanese young people waiting to join the mercenaries! The lost troops will be replenished soon. It is expected that by next month, a group of trained Japanese mercenary soldiers will arrive in Mexico. They will join the division with serious losses to restore the combat effectiveness of these divisions!
"Everyone, we have achieved great results in the previous stage of the battle. However, it is undeniable that our enemies are still very powerful. According to the information we have obtained, the US military has once again assembled an army of millions of people in Chilpansingo. This is a huge challenge for us. However, I still have the confidence to defeat the Americans. Because the current war is no longer determined by the number of troops. We have a strong air superiority, and our fighter jets and airships will destroy the Americans' defenses.
Defeat their will to resist, let the American soldiers who have only been trained for several months experience the cruelty of the war, and let them know the power of our Eastern people! Let me tell you good news, the number of fighter jets deployed to Mexico by the Air Force has reached 120, and there are 80 bombers. With more than 40 airships, our air combat power has increased by more than doubled compared to before! Moreover, the transport ship has transported tens of thousands of tons of aviation bombs, which is enough to blow the entire Chilpansingo into ruins!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.
Everyone smiled on their faces. Although they had been waiting for so many days, they were not in vain. When groups of planes flew over the Americans' heads, dropped bombs, destroyed Americans' fortifications and resistance, such a scene must be very exciting!
Especially the commander of the Japanese mercenary, General Yoshima Oshima, had an old face and smiled like a chrysanthemum. He was very clear about the positioning of the Japanese mercenaries, which was the artillery fire of the Chinese on the battlefield. Although he didn't care about the casualties of ordinary soldiers, he was still very happy if he could reduce the losses. During the Battle of Tiela Cororada, the performance of the Chinese Air Force was very shocked. Without the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the casualties paid by the Japanese mercenaries would probably increase.
Double the defense of the US military in Chilpansingo is more stringent, which will undoubtedly mean that more Japanese youth will fall on this strange land forever. However, the strong bombing of the Chinese Air Force can greatly reduce the casualties of Japanese mercenaries. At the same time, General Yoshima Oshima also deeply realized the strength of China. In the past, the Chinese army and navy were stronger than Japan, but this is understandable. But now, China still has a strong air force, and Japan can only look up to this new weapon.
In the view of General Yoshima Oshima, Japan is destined to be unable to escape the shadow of China forever, and only by following China's butt can it be developed.
"Marson, when will you launch an attack on the Americans? You can give orders! Our Japanese mercenaries will definitely let these white ghosts know the power of our yellow people!" General Yoshima Oshima said immediately.
"Haha! Okay, General Oshima, you have this confidence, it's very good. The Japanese mercenaries performed very well, and I will report to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, in this battle to attack Chilpanxinggo, the Japanese mercenaries must have a chance to perform!" said Marshal Zhao Bowen!
After receiving the praise from Marshal Zhao Bowen, General Yoshima Oshima was very happy. If Marshal Zhao Bowen really reported to the Emperor of China, it would be even better. At least, General Yoshima Oshima knew that this time, the performance of Japanese mercenaries in the Mexican battlefield was much better than that of North Korean mercenaries. Although they were both Chinese lackeys, the Japanese lackeys ranked first!
"Everyone, our strategic materials have been reserved, and the rest and rest of each unit is almost done. From tomorrow, we will launch an attack on Chil Pansingo, who is defending the US military. General Gao Chang, your 6th Army serves as the vanguard, and take the lead in launching the attack. Take down Mazatlan first, and then wait for the next order!" Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.
Chapter completed!
