    "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, in fact, we have no chance of winning! It's just that if we do this, we will take a little risk!" Major General John Pershing said with a smile.  Since the beginning of the battle, although the fighting in the San Luis Valley has been very brutal, Major General Pershing has been looking for opportunities to defeat the Chinese army.  In this regard, he had already thought of a plan, but without the support of Lieutenant General John Bates, his opportunity would be difficult to implement.  And now, this opportunity seems to have come!

    "Oh? What can we do?" Lieutenant General John Bates suddenly became energetic.  He will not let go of any chance to win. This victory is very important to him!

    "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, if we don't get the support of the First Army, it will be difficult for us to defeat the Chinese. And now it seems that the First Army has no hope for the time being! Therefore, we can only make dangerous moves.  "Major General Pershing said.

    "Your Majesty, Major General, tell me your plan!" Lieutenant General John Miserable asked.  As for taking risks, there is no war without taking risks.  As long as the probability of winning is high, even taking some risks is completely worth it.

    "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, a large part of the reason why the Chinese are strong is because of their powerful firepower. Not only artillery fire, but when they attack, their machine gun firepower and infantry support firepower are also very powerful. This is why we are stronger than them.  One reason for the weakness!" Major General Pershing analyzed!

    Lieutenant General John Bates nodded, regarding Major General Pershing¡¯s analysis.  He agreed very much.  However, this is the same as defeating the Chinese.  does it matter?

    "According to the information we received, the Chinese have established their front-line supply base in the small town of Ocampo. All the Chinese military supplies have to be transported from Acapulco on the Pacific coast to Mexico City, and then to Mexico City.  Transported from Mexico City to the front line. The entire supply line is more than 700 kilometers long. In order to maintain the operation against San Luis Potosi, the Chinese have stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Ocampo!" said Major General John Pershing  .

    "What do you mean? We attack Ocampo? However, the Chinese will definitely take strict precautions against such an important logistics base. In addition, once the Chinese discover our intentions, they will definitely send troops to return. We want to attack  It will be very difficult to destroy the Chinese logistics base!" Lieutenant General John Bates frowned.  Although, he admitted.  This plan proposed by Major General Pershing, if successful, may be able to defeat the Chinese.  But at the same time, it is not that easy to succeed!

    "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I think that now our opportunity has come. According to the intelligence we have received, what is defending this logistics base in Ocampo is a Chinese baggage brigade. Although there are more than 8,000 people, the equipment is  They are basically light weapons. In addition, there are two infantry divisions of the new Mexican government. As for the infantry divisions of the new Mexican government, you should also be very clear about how bad their combat effectiveness is. We only need to invest more than two infantry divisions.  Army. They will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese and Mexican new government troops defending Ocampo. Apart from that, the only Chinese cavalry brigade that can cause trouble to our operations has left. Therefore, the Chinese want to return to aid Ocampo.  Campo, it's not that easy. We have enough time to destroy it!" Major General Pershing said.

    Lieutenant General John Bates nodded, but he still hesitated.  If we take a detour from San Luis Potosi to Ocampo, it will be hundreds of kilometers, and if we march in a hurry, it will take three days.  It is difficult to guarantee whether there will be any changes during these three days.

    "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, after we give up the defense line in the San Luis Valley, the Chinese will definitely attack San Luis Potosi. As long as we hold on here and make it impossible for the Chinese to break through. Then the Chinese will invest more and more troops.  This will create favorable conditions for us to attack Ocampo!" Major General Pershing continued.

    "Okay, I agree in principle with this plan. However, should we report it to the country?" Lieutenant General John Bates said.  Although this plan has a high probability of success, it may also fail.  If the matter is reported to the country in advance, even if it fails, he will not have to bear much responsibility.

    "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the opportunity is fleeting and we must seize this opportunity. If you agree, we will immediately order the Third Army to withdraw to San Luis Potos¨ª, and then I will personally lead two divisions and rush to Ocan.  Wave, attack there." Major General Pershing said excitedly.  If it were reported to the country, God only knows how long the bureaucrats in the staff department would delay it.  Once the Chinese army reaches the city of San Luis Potosi, it will not be so easy for the US military to dispatch a large-scale attack on Ocampo.

    Lieutenant General John Bates thought about it and it was the same reason.  If you lose this opportunity, it may be really difficult to win.  Therefore, he agreed to the plan proposed by Major General Pershing.

    "Your Majesty, Major General, which two divisions do you plan to take?" Lieutenant General John Bates asked.  He knows that thirdSeveral divisions of the army, except for the 43rd Division, which is in slightly better condition, the other divisions have suffered heavy losses, especially the 41st Division, which has been disabled.

    "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, I will lead the 43rd Division to implement this plan. Another division needs to be transferred from the Second Army. In order to win this battle, I hope it will be an elite unit!" Major General Per Xing said seriously.  The 43rd Division is his old unit, and he knows its combat effectiveness very well. It is considered an elite unit in the US military.

    "Let the 28th Division go! The combat effectiveness of the 28th Division is also at the forefront among the U.S. Army!" Lieutenant General John Bates said.

    "Okay, Lieutenant General. In addition, I need to take away all the cavalry troops! On the one hand, if the attack does not go smoothly, the cavalry can be used to delay the Chinese from returning to aid Ocampo, just like they delayed the first  Just like the army! In addition, you will inevitably pass through many places where Mexicans live along the way. Use cavalry troops to keep alert and keep your whereabouts secret!" said Major General Pershing.  If their whereabouts were caught by Mexicans, then they would have to control the freedom of these Mexicans, or even directly end their lives.  In war, no woman's kindness can exist!

    "Okay, just do what you want! I hope that the attack on Ocampo can be successful. I will defend San Luis Potosi!" John Bates said.  For the sake of victory and his own future, he can only take this gamble!

    "Yes, Lieutenant General, I will definitely win and will not let you down!" Major General Pershing said excitedly.  He knew that if he won this battle, he would become the most dazzling presence among the generals of the US Army!

    That night, the U.S. military began taking action.  First, the remaining troops of the Third Army stationed in the second line of defense in the San Luis Valley secretly withdrew to San Luis Potosi.  At the same time, before dawn, Major General Pershing, with the 28th and 43rd Divisions of the US Army and four cavalry regiments, secretly left San Luis Potos¨ª under the cover of night and headed north.  They will bypass the San Pedro Mountains, attack Ocampo, and destroy the Chinese army's frontline logistics base in one fell swoop to interrupt the Chinese army's attack on San Luis Potosi.  At the same time, after losing their logistical supplies, no matter how powerful the Chinese are in combat, it will be difficult for them to unleash their power.  At that time, it will be their time to win!

    On the morning of February 29, after a night of rest, the Chinese army prepared to continue attacking the US military.  The offensive in the past few days has almost collapsed the US military. Everyone in the Chinese army believes that breaking through the US military's defense line in the San Luis Valley is just around the corner.

    However, what is strange is that this morning, the US military's defense line was quiet.  Some officers used binoculars to observe, but they didn't see even a single figure. This surprised the Chinese side?

    "Did the Americans abandon this place and retreat?" The frontline officer immediately lined up a squad of soldiers to investigate.

    When the soldiers of this class carefully climbed onto the US military defense line, they found that there was no US military defense here.  On the position, there were scattered supplies and ammunition everywhere.  It seems that the US military retreated in a very hasty manner.  However, they were able to retreat directly at night without disturbing the Chinese army, which was considered a very good idea.

    The front line immediately reported the situation. General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Group Army, learned of the situation at 7 o'clock in the morning.  The active withdrawal of the US military was unexpected by him, but it seemed to have no harm to the Chinese army.  After the US military retreats, the Chinese army can march straight in and directly attack San Luis Potos¨ª without losing troops by breaking through the US military's defense line in the San Luis Valley.  Although the US military will strengthen the defense of San Luis Potosi after its withdrawal, the Chinese army is not afraid.  The Chinese army is very good at street fighting. It is simply impossible for the US military to defeat the Chinese army in street fighting!

    No wonder General Gao Chang thinks so. The current war situation is indeed very unfavorable for the US military.  The First Army was delayed by the Chinese cavalry, and the Third Army was about to fail.  Retreating to San Luis Potosi and relying on this city to fight street battles with the Chinese army seemed to be the last option.

    General Gao Chang immediately ordered the 11th Infantry Division to cross the San Luis Valley and approach San Luis Potosi.  The Third Marine Division, following the weather, is approaching San Luis Potosi, striving to start attacking San Luis Potosi this afternoon!
