    On the evening of February 29, the gunfire in San Luis Potos¨ª had stopped. Except for the sounds of some burning trees and collapsed houses, everything seemed particularly quiet.  If it weren't for the blood and broken limbs that could be seen everywhere in the city, it wouldn't have looked like a war had broken out here.

    Even though the Chinese army has stopped attacking, the performance of the Chinese army today has taught the US military a good lesson.  Originally, the US military thought that it had already built defenses that were enough to withstand the Chinese army's attack.  In street fighting, they will definitely be able to use these advantages to inflict great damage on the Chinese army.  However, everyone never expected that even if they were on the unfavorable side, the Chinese army's excellent tactics and almost perfect coordination would still severely damage the US military, which had taken a huge advantage.  After a few hours of fighting, the US military had suffered enough. The outer urban areas to the east and south of San Luis Potosi had fallen into the hands of the Chinese army.

    The generals of the regiment and above of the US military were summoned to the headquarters by John Bates, and the small conference room of the underground headquarters was suddenly filled with people.  Coupled with the fact that some people were smoking and the exhaust system was not very good, the entire conference room seemed very dull.

    John Bates¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good either. He was frightened by the powerful strength of the Chinese army in the street fighting.  If the Chinese army still displays such strong combat power in the next battle, he has some doubts whether Major General Pershing can hold San Luis Potos¨ª before he destroys the Chinese army's logistics supply base!

    "Everyone, I am very dissatisfied with today's battle. Although the strength of the Chinese army exceeded our expectations. However, we have countless defenses, but we still fight like this. This is very disappointing. If this is the case  , Can we still hold San Luis Potosi? Once we are defeated, I am afraid we will be driven out of Mexico!" Lieutenant General John Bates said with a dark face.

    "General, the Chinese are much better at street fighting tactics than we are. Their skilled coordination and combat skills leave us with no ability to counterattack!" Brigadier General Quincy, commander of the 26th U.S. Division, argued.

    "I don't want to worry about this, I only care about the final result! We must hold San Luis Potosi before reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, everything will be over!" Lieutenant General John Bates said angrily.

    "Yes, General!" All the officers replied, but they seemed a little downcast.  Obviously, these officers.  I have lost some confidence in this war.

    Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General John Bates frowned.  If even these officers have lost confidence, how about the soldiers below mustering up the courage to fight the Chinese?

    "Cough!" Lieutenant General John Bates coughed.  After attracting everyone's attention, he then said: "Don't be pessimistic. Although the current battle situation is very unfavorable, we do not have no hope of winning!"

    Everyone looked at Lieutenant General John Bates inexplicably, wondering where he came from.  To know.  The current war situation is already terrible.  Although the US military still has a huge strength advantage, the initiative on the battlefield has been completely controlled by the Chinese army.  If a miracle didn't happen or God showed up, they would definitely lose this battle.  However, it seems that in every war between China and the United States, God is on the side of the Chinese. This makes these devout believers feel so embarrassed!

    "Does anyone know what Major General Pershing did?" Lieutenant General John Bates asked.

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but shake their heads. Only then did the group recall that Major General Pershing seemed to have never shown up during today¡¯s battle!

    "Let me tell you! Major General Pershing has led people to sneak attack on the Chinese logistics supply base. As long as it succeeds, the Chinese will lose their logistics. In this way, they will become a tiger without teeth. We will eventually be able to  Winner!" Lieutenant General Bates said!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up. Most people didn¡¯t know that the US military actually had such a plan.  However, this plan does give them some hope.  A large part of the reason why the Chinese army is powerful is based on its powerful firepower.  If they lose their supplies, they might actually have a chance to turn defeat into victory.  No one likes to lose, and neither do these U.S. military officers.  As long as there is a possibility of winning, they will definitely work hard to win!

    ¡°However, the prerequisite is that we must defend San Luis Potosi before Major General Pershing destroys the Chinese logistics supply base!Otherwise, everything will be empty talk!  One day has passed now, and there are still three days at most.  As long as we persist these three days, victory will be ours!  " Lieutenant General Bates said.

    "Yes, General, we will definitely defend San Luis Potosi!" The morale of the US military officers rose a lot for a while!

    In the next two days, the Chinese Army¡¯s 3rd Marine Division and the 11th Army Division took turns to launch fierce attacks on San Luis Potosi.  In street fighting, the US military is no match for the Chinese army.  However, they fought very tenaciously, and the Chinese army even had to compete with the US military for control of every house and ruin.  Although the Chinese army's attack caused great casualties to the US military, their progress was also greatly affected.  Two days have passed, and the Chinese army has only occupied half of the urban area of ??San Luis Potosi. It seems that it will take two days or more to completely drive the US military out of San Luis Potosi!

    At this time, a huge army was marching rapidly on the Mexican plateau, with cavalry constantly galloping past this army.  This army, led by U.S. Army Major General John Pershing, set out from San Luis Potosi to prepare for a sneak attack on the Chinese army's logistics base.  Those cavalry were the American cavalry who were conducting reconnaissance around the marching route. They not only had to play the role of opening the way, but they also had to seal off the confidence tightly to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed.  Major General Pershing knew that if he wanted to destroy Ocampo, he had to launch a surprise attack. Once the Chinese army was prepared, it would not be that easy for them to capture Ocampo!  Therefore, all Mexicans encountered along the way were secretly dealt with by the US military. Although this method was somewhat cruel, it had to be done in order to keep it secret!  No one can guarantee whether there are spies bribed by the Chinese among these Mexicans.  Anyway, in a war, human life is inherently worthless, let alone the weak Mexicans!

    On March 2, Major General Pershing led his army to a valley, which is only fifteen kilometers away from Ocampo. If you go further, you will encounter Chinese army scouts.  Therefore, Major General Pershing is going to rest here for a night to let the soldiers recover their strength, and then launch an attack tomorrow morning, trying to capture Ocampo at once and destroy all the Chinese army's logistics supplies.  At the same time, he was still waiting for information from Ocampo. Before his plan began, some Mexicans bribed by the United States had already infiltrated into that town!

    Without letting Major General Pershing wait, he got the news from Ocampo that night.  To Major General Pershing's great joy, this time, God seemed to be on the side of the Americans.  The Chinese army's baggage brigade has just escorted a batch of weapons and ammunition to the front line of San Luis Potosi today. In Ocampo, only one battalion of troops was left for defense.  Now, the main force defending here is the two armies of the new Mexican government.  Major General Pershing did not pay attention to the troops of the new Mexican government at all!

    Immediately, Major General Pershing summoned the commanders of the 28th Division, the 43rd Division, and the commanders of the four cavalry regiments!

    "Everyone, our mission this time is very clear to everyone, which is to destroy the Chinese logistics base in Ocampo. Once this is destroyed, the Chinese army on the front line will lose supplies, and we will win the war.  , it¡¯s very easy. Now, according to the latest news we got, the army defending Ocampo only has one battalion of the Chinese and two infantry divisions of the new Mexican government. For us, this will be  An excellent opportunity! I believe we will be able to succeed!" Major General Pershing said excitedly, as if victory was right in front of him!

    Others were also happy. They originally thought that attacking Ocampo would be a tough battle, but they didn't expect it to be like this.  The troops of the new Mexican government were not taken seriously by them at all. Although the Chinese army was a little more difficult, it only had one battalion, and they were completely capable of winning the final victory.

    "Now I order that at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, four cavalry regiments will launch a surprise attack on the Mexican division north of Ocampo and defeat them in the shortest possible time! Two infantry divisions will follow closely to attack the Mexican division.  Campo attacks. Success or failure depends on this!" said Major General Pershing.

    "Yes, General!" the officers replied loudly.

    On the morning of March 3, before dawn, four US cavalry regiments with nearly 5,000 cavalrymen set off.  They came to two kilometers north of the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army, and then launched an attack on the 2nd Division of the New Mexican Government Army.

    The sudden attack by the U.S. cavalry caused the unprepared 2nd Division of the new Mexican government army to collapse in an instant. No one even thought of notifying the defenders of Ocampo!
