    The horses galloped, and the sound of horse hooves resounded loudly. When they gathered together, it was like thunder!  The US 15th Division, which was suddenly attacked, was simply unable to organize a powerful counterattack.  //Visit to download txt novel//A few minutes later, the Chinese cavalry broke into the US military camp. The sabers emitted a cold white light under the moonlight!

    "Kill!" The U.S. military camp built a crude defense line on the outside.  But at this time, a large number of U.S. troops were still in panic. There were only a pitiful few U.S. troops entering the position to block the Chinese cavalry.

    "Tap!" A light machine gun was set up and fired at the galloping Chinese cavalry. The two cavalry in front were shot and fell to the ground in an instant.  However, before the machine gun had finished firing a round of bullets, the Chinese cavalry who came around from the side waved the saber in their hands and easily beheaded the American machine gunner with the help of the power of the horse.  !

    The small amount of American resistance was crushed in less than a few minutes.  At this time, the artillery battalion belonging to the cavalry brigade also stopped shelling.  At this moment, the U.S. military camp was already ablaze.  There were constant explosions. This was a US military ammunition depot that exploded amid the fire.  At the same time, these soaring fires also pointed the way for the Chinese cavalry's assault!

    Although, with the increase of automatic weapons, the lethality of cavalry is no longer as great as before.  But, at certain times.  The cavalry's assault can still exert great power.  And at this moment.  This is exactly the situation of the US 15th Division!

    After the Chinese cavalry broke into the U.S. camp, they were like tigers rushing into the sheep. They continued to use the sabers in their hands to harvest the lives of these U.S. soldiers.  The tall and tall American soldiers looked so weak at this moment.  Facing the assault of the Chinese cavalry, the US military was simply unable to resist!

    "The first battalion is heading east, the second battalion is heading west. The third battalion is charging due north!" The three battalions broke into the US camp from the front. After attacking, they were divided into three arrows, which seemed to pierce the US camp.  Outside the camp, the fourth and fifth battalions of the cavalry brigade were still making a circuitous route.  Brigadier General Gong Zhiqiang, the commander of the cavalry brigade, was determined to take advantage of this opportunity this time.  The 15th Division of the US Army was crippled!

    "Kill!" The panicked American soldiers ran around the camp like headless flies, while the Chinese cavalry followed behind them and killed these American soldiers with sabers.  even if.  Some American soldiers surrendered to the Chinese cavalry, but in this melee, how could they accept their surrender?  With the same slash, a head flew up high!

    David Smit is a U.S. Army lieutenant platoon leader and one of the survivors of this battle.  It's just that this time the battle is.  But he took away his right hand.  This may be why he survived that chaotic night.  After the war, David Smit recounted the melee that night.

    After a day of rapid marching, David Smit and his comrades had an early dinner and then got into the tent to rest.  They still had more than 150 kilometers to reach San Luis Potos¨ª, so they had to walk for at least four days.  During such a long march, it is very important to maintain physical strength.

    While sleeping until midnight, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the camp.  And David Smit was also awakened.  The word "enemy attack" immediately flashed through his mind.  He got up at once, woke up his comrades around him, grabbed his gun and rushed out.  After rushing out of the tent, he found that the entire camp seemed to be in a sea of ??fire.  There were panicked American soldiers everywhere, and a large number of tents were set alight during the shelling.

    At this time, a sound like muffled thunder came from the distance.  But David Smit is an experienced veteran, and he understood what this was the first time.  During such chaos, being attacked by the Chinese cavalry again would undoubtedly be a disaster for the 15th Division of the US Army!  In fact, just as David Smit expected, the panicked US military could not resist the Chinese cavalry's vomiting blood. The Chinese cavalry was like a devil crawling out of hell, quickly harvesting lives!

    At that time, David Smit immediately led dozens of his soldiers and relied on the rocks near the tent to prepare to resist the attack of the Chinese cavalry!

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Their firing killed several Chinese cavalry, but attracted more Chinese cavalry to retaliate.  Soon, David Smit's platoon was annihilated in the Chinese cavalry attack.  And he himself had an arm cut off.  However, it was precisely because of this that he saved his life!

    There are many low-level officers in the US 15th Division, all likeDavid Smit also organized soldiers to resist, but their bravery could not save the defeat of the US 15th Division.  More than half an hour after the Chinese cavalry invaded the US camp, the commander of the US 15th Division, seeing that the situation was over, issued an order to disperse and break out.  His original intention was to hope that the American soldiers could use the cover of night to escape back and join the main force.  However, it was this order that caused the US 15th Division to completely collapse.

    After receiving the order from the division commander, some soldiers of the US 15th Division turned around and fled, while other soldiers were at a loss.  This once again plunged the soldiers of the US 15th Division into chaos.  The Chinese cavalry took this opportunity to kill American soldiers wantonly.

    Although it was only a short ten kilometers from the camp of the 15th U.S. Division to the main force of the U.S. First Army, it was chased by Chinese cavalry all the way. The entire road was almost covered with the corpses of U.S. soldiers.  .  The Chinese cavalry pursued them all the way outside the camp of the U.S. First Army before turning their horses.

    The killing continued until dawn.  The Chinese cavalry completed their mission and retreated calmly.  Only the devastated U.S. military barracks were left.  According to post-war statistics, the US 15th Division suffered more than 12,000 soldiers and more than 7,000 casualties during the battle that night. Among them, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and among the remaining ones, 80% were seriously injured.  Most of them were injured, but only a small number were slightly injured.  In addition, many U.S. soldiers were lost after being chased by the Chinese cavalry. When the U.S. First Army finally gathered the troops of the 15th Division, there were less than 3,000 soldiers left.  The US 15th Division was completely disabled!

    When the Chinese cavalry launched a surprise attack on the US 15th Division, the main force of the US First Army ten kilometers away received the news not long after.  However, what is strange is that they did not send troops to support the 15th Division, but sat back and watched as the US 15th Division was severely damaged by the Chinese cavalry.  After the war, Major General James Bell, commander of the U.S. First Army, said during an investigation that it was already midnight and the U.S. military did not have many cavalry. He did not know how many troops the Chinese had invested or whether there were other traps.  Therefore, in order to avoid greater losses, he did not send troops to rescue the 15th Division, but ordered all ministries to strengthen defenses.  Major General James Bell's answer did not satisfy the investigation team.  As a result, Major General James Bell had to retire early after the war, and his military career ended!

    The cavalry brigade of the Sixth Army suffered very slight losses in this battle. The casualties of the entire brigade were less than 200.  Less than a hundred people were killed or seriously injured, and the rest were only slightly injured.  This victory of the cavalry brigade greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese army.

    In the ensuing battle, the cavalry brigade continued to block the US First Army. During the march of the US military, Chinese cavalry always attacked them and adopted a hit-and-run strategy, which caused extremely serious damage to the US military.  casualties, and at the same time, successfully delayed the advance of the US military.  Later, the U.S. First Army could only advance about ten kilometers at most every day. The road that originally needed to be covered in a few days took more than ten days.  Moreover, by the time the U.S. First Army arrived in San Luis Potosi, the climax of the war was over.

    General Gao Chang received the good news from the cavalry brigade on the morning of February 28th. The good news from the cavalry brigade finally made the Chinese army feel proud after its offensive had been frustrated for two consecutive days.  Morale, which was originally a bit low, has also recovered.

    Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army immediately launched an attack on the U.S. Third Army in the San Luis Valley. The U.S. Army also received reports that the First Army was attacked by Chinese cavalry. An infantry division was crippled, and it took more time to reach San Luis Po.  News from Tosi.  This shocked the commander of the US military, Lieutenant General John Bates.  Although he strictly ordered the news to be kept secret, the news eventually spread, which seriously affected the morale of the US military.

    Although, after the U.S. military was defeated by the Chinese army last time, the Army began to expand its troops, strengthen training, and add heavy equipment.  However, these cannot change the U.S. Army within a certain period of time.  The U.S. Army has not fought a major battle since the Civil War.  In the war, although the US military achieved victory, its own casualties were also high.  The subsequent war with China was a complete failure.  Therefore, the U.S. Army's fighting will, overall, is far inferior to that of the Chinese army.  If you have the upper hand, you may not be affected at all.  But once you are at a disadvantage, it becomes a serious problem.

    On the contrary, the Chinese Army has been at war since the Western Sichuan era.  After the empire was established, it fought several major battles in succession. Both the commander's ability and the individual fighting will were far stronger than those of American soldiers!  (To be continued.
