    People under the eaves have to bow their heads!  Brigadier General Quincy is in this situation now. The US military in San Luis Potosine no longer wants to fight anymore.  Therefore, they have no choice but to accept China's conditions.

    "General Gao, I need to go back and report to Lieutenant General Bates. The final result will be decided by Lieutenant General Bates!" Brigadier General Quincy said.

    "Okay! But we won't wait too long! If you haven't surrendered in one hour, we will launch the attack again and no longer accept your request for negotiation!" Admiral Gao Chang pressed further.  road.

    Brigadier General Quincy opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He nodded and led the people away from the headquarters of the Sixth Army and returned to the U.S. military headquarters in San Luis Potosi.  Here, Lieutenant General Bates has already been waiting for the results of their negotiations!

    "General, the Chinese only gave us one hour. After one hour, they will launch the attack again and will no longer negotiate with us!" Brigadier General Quincy reported to Lieutenant General John Bates.

    When Brigadier General Quincy reported the conditions proposed by the Chinese to Lieutenant General Bates, Lieutenant General Bates fell silent.  Although the interests of the officers will be guaranteed after the surrender, ordinary soldiers will undoubtedly be very miserable.  This makes it difficult for him to make a decision!

    "General, we can't hesitate any longer. We don't have much time. In addition, Chinese reinforcements will arrive in Mexico soon. We have no chance of victory in this war!" Brigadier General Quincy urged.  He is inclined to accept China's conditions!

    "It seems that we are indeed losing this battle. The gap between us and the Chinese is still too big! It will take a lot of time to catch up with the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Bates sighed.  .  Although the industrial strength of the United States is already the first in the world.  But in terms of military strength, compared with powerful countries like China, there is still a big gap, and it will take a lot of time to catch up!

    "General, after we surrender, all this will have nothing to do with us!" Brigadier General Quincy reminded.

    Lieutenant General Bates fell silent for a moment, after surrendering to China.  Even if he can return to the United States after the war, he may have no choice but to leave the army. The military gap between the United States and China is naturally not his concern.

    After a long time, Lieutenant General Bates made the final decision.  "Brigadier General Quincy, go tell the Chinese. I accept their conditions. I will lead all the American soldiers stationed in San Luis Potosi to surrender to the Chinese army!"

    "Yes, General!" A smile appeared on Brigadier General Quincy's face.  Although.  The war was lost, but at least life was saved!

    That day at five o'clock in the afternoon.  One by one, American soldiers, led by officers, walked out from behind the fortifications and handed over their weapons to the Chinese army.  The faces of these American soldiers were a little confused, but most of them were still happy.  Being able to save a life in a cruel war is already very good.  What's more, the American soldiers did not feel anything shameful about surrendering to the Chinese.  Anyway, they are used to it. The US military surrendering to the Chinese is no longer a once or twice thing!

    Nearly 30,000 U.S. troops surrendered to the Chinese army, half of which were wounded.  It can be seen that in the past few days of war, the US military also suffered extremely heavy losses. If they did not surrender, they would not be able to hold on to the reinforcements and rush back.

    Similarly, in order to win the Battle of San Luis Potosi, China also paid a heavy price.  The destruction of the Ocampo logistics base suddenly increased the logistical pressure on the Chinese army to a very terrifying level.  At the same time, heavy losses were also suffered in terms of military strength.  The Army's 11th Division, which was the main force in the attack on San Luis Potosi, suffered almost half its casualties.  The 3rd Marine Division also lost a regiment of troops.  The cavalry brigade also lost nearly a thousand people in the battle that delayed the U.S. First Army.  However, overall, they caused casualties to the US military several times their own, which is already very good given the serious shortage of troops!

    "Order all ministries to rest and recuperate immediately. Tomorrow morning, set off from San Luis Potosi and prepare to work with the cavalry brigade to encircle and suppress the US military led by Major General Pershing!" General Gao Chang ordered.  According to the intelligence they received, the U.S. military that raided Ocampo began to retreat north after destroying the Chinese army's logistics base.  The guard battalion of the baggage brigade stationed in Ocampo sent many people to follow them from a distance.  At the same time, the cavalry brigade had given up its delay against the US First Army and moved south quickly, preparing to intercept this force.  Although, take it??Luis Potosi is already a victory for the Chinese army.  But for the US military led by Major General Pershing, the Chinese army very much hopes to get rid of them!  This is not only revenge, but also the best opportunity to weaken the US military.

    "Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming said.  Although the continuous fighting caused heavy casualties to the Chinese army, the troops were also very exhausted.  But if you persist a little longer, it's not impossible.  The Chinese people's ability to withstand pressure has always been relatively high!

    The Chinese Army General Staff far away in Beijing was also in a panic.  The logistics base in Ocampo was destroyed, and the Sixth Army Headquarters sent a telegram to the General Staff!  It was already 10pm Beijing time on March 3rd.

    However, this change immediately made the General Staff busy. Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu rushed to the General Staff from home again, and the Minister of Army, Navy and Defense also came to discuss countermeasures.

    Originally, everyone believed that although the war situation in Mexico was difficult, it was still under China's control.  But Ocampo was raided, which immediately plunged the Chinese army into crisis.

    Xiong Wu, the chief of general staff, immediately ordered the Army's 12th Division, which was heading to Mexico, to speed up and arrive at the front line within a week.  To do this, they would no longer land at Acapulco in the south, but directly in Mazatlan in the north, and then push directly toward San Luis Potosi.  In this case, you can save a lot of time.

    At the same time, in order to cope with the possible expansion of the war, Xiong Wu also ordered to deploy two divisions from the troops directly under the General Staff to the Hawaiian Islands to enhance China's strength on the east coast of the Pacific!

    Subsequently, the General Staff received Lieutenant General Gao Chang's next plan. Lieutenant General Gao Chang proposed a plan to continue attacking San Luis Potosi and annihilate the US military. After discussion, the General Staff approved it.  They also know that if they want to continue to gain the initiative on the battlefield, it is very necessary to implement Admiral Gao Chang's plan.

    The Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze also received the report, along with the General Staff¡¯s handling of the matter.  Now that the General Staff has taken care of it, Wang Yuze won't say anything more.  He believed that his generals would handle it well.

    Sure enough, on the morning of March 4th, Beijing time, they received news of the surrender of the US military!  This was a relief to everyone!

    There is no doubt that although Ocampo was raided, the situation of the Chinese army became very bad.  But they captured San Luis Potosi in one day and annihilated the US military here, returning the initiative on the battlefield to the Chinese army once again.  The surrender of the US military allowed the Chinese army to save a large amount of weapons and ammunition, which was enough to support them in continuing to fight.  And this is not good news for Major General Pershing, who succeeded in the raid on Ocampo, and the nearly 30,000 American troops he led.

    At 4 pm on March 3, Major General Pershing led his army to retreat from Ocampo to Ojuelos in the north, preparing to return to San Luis Potosi via the original route.  It's not that he has never thought about returning from the San Luis Valley, but considering that the Chinese army has obtained a batch of supplies, weapons and ammunition, and the Chinese army's combat power is far stronger than that of the US military, if he takes the San Luis Valley, he may be attacked by the Chinese army.  A powerful strike from the army.  Therefore, he decided to take a detour and return!

    On the way back, Major General Pershing continued to receive urging telegrams from Lieutenant General Bates!  This made Major General Pershing a little uneasy. The reason why he was able to lead his army to attack Ocampo was entirely because the main force of the Chinese army was dragged in San Luis Potosi.  Originally, he thought that after learning that Ocampo was attacked, the Chinese would stop their attack on San Luis Potos¨ª and wait for reinforcements in order to save weapons, ammunition and supplies.  In that case, the initiative on the battlefield will be controlled by the US military.  After he led his army back to San Luis Potosi and the First Army arrived, he had sufficient strength to launch a counterattack against the Chinese army!  However, he did not expect that the Chinese army's response was completely beyond his expectations. Not only did the Chinese not stop the attack, but they intensified the intensity of the attack.  This made Major General Pershing realize that the defense of San Luis Potosi would be much more difficult.  Whether he can rush back before San Luis Potosi is captured by the Chinese is a question.  Based on the time it took him to arrive, it would take him at least three days to return to San Luis Potosi.  And can Lieutenant General Bates last three days?  He was very suspicious!

    Sure enough, at four o'clock in the afternoon, he received a telegram from San Luis Potos¨ª, Lieutenant General Bates led the US military to surrender to the Chinese army.  Major General Pershing strongly opposed this, but his objections could not change Lieutenant General Bates's decision at all!  Because Major General Pershing's reinforcements could not arrive before San Luis Potosi was captured, Lieutenant General Bates had no choice but to surrender if he did not want to die!

    The surrender of Lieutenant General Bates made PershingThe victory of the raid on Ocampo has become meaningless. The initiative on the battlefield is still in the hands of the Chinese army!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
