Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In northern Mexico, at the junction of San Luis Potosi and Nuevo Enlai states, a large-scale US military is crossing the military demarcation line between the two sides and attacking in the direction of San Luis Potosi.  A company of Mexican government troops originally deployed here collapsed immediately after a round of shelling by the US military.  This allowed the US military to easily invade the state of San Luis Potosi!

    "Send a telegram to the general. We have broken through the enemy's defense line and are marching towards San Luis Potosi! The enemy is vulnerable. We will be able to reach San Luis Potosi in three days!" Major General Moon, commander of the 12th US Army, put down  With the telescope in his hand and a contemptuous smile on his lips, he ordered the communications officer.  The Mexican government troops in the distance are still fleeing, but the US military has not targeted them at all!

    "Yes, General!" After receiving the order, the communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.

    All the main forces of the Chinese Army's Sixth Group Army are concentrated on the rear defense line, and no heavy troops are deployed on the military demarcation line. This allows the US military to easily break through the military demarcation line between the two armies.  If Major General Moon, commander of the 12th U.S. Army, thinks that the Chinese army can be easily defeated, then he is totally wrong.  The US 12th Army and the 5th Army, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, were the main force in the attack on San Luis Potosi.  After the 11th Army and the 13th Army in the east capture Valles City, they will launch an attack on San Luis Potosi from the east.  John.  Lieutenant General Pershing's plan was to gather the main forces of four armies to besiege San Luis Potosi.  The Chinese army only has two infantry divisions and one artillery brigade in San Luis Potosi, as well as several Mexican government infantry divisions.  Lieutenant General Pershing believed that the U.S. military could easily conquer San Luis Potosi after undergoing arduous training.

    Valles City is only 40 kilometers away from Tamaulipas state. The 11th Army and the 13th Army of the US Army arrived here at 11 a.m. on the 21st.  Vallez City is housed by four infantry divisions of the Mexican government army, with about 50,000 people. Their strength is only half of that of the US military, and their weapons and equipment are much inferior to that of the US military.  The four divisions only had more than a hundred light artillery pieces.  General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army, did not expect them to hold on to Bayes City. He only asked them to delay the US military for three days.  However, General Gao Chang is not sure whether these Mexican government troops can do it!

    The U.S. military's attack began at one o'clock in the afternoon. Two U.S. military armies and more than 300 heavy artillery launched a fierce shelling on the Mexican government army positions in Valles City.  Mexican government forces immediately launched a counterattack.

    It¡¯s just that the artillery strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all. In less than an hour, the Mexican government army lost most of its artillery.  The commander of the Mexican government army had to order the artillery to move to preserve his strength!

    The U.S. military's artillery preparations lasted for a full hour. After the shelling ended, the Mexican government army's position looked like it had been plowed.  Mexican government soldiers on the battlefield

    It was even more of a heavy loss.  Some of the bombholes were bombarded, and entire companies and rows of Mexican government troops inside were buried alive.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, the US infantry launched an attack and the surviving Mexican government troops launched a counterattack.  The battle was very fierce.  At the beginning of the fighting, the Mexican government forces were still very determined to resist.  However, as casualties increase, the confidence of the Mexican government forces will inevitably be shaken.

    The fierce battle did not end until the evening. Almost all the positions outside Valles City were occupied by the US military. In this day's battle, the Mexican government forces paid a price of more than 10,000 people.  The American casualties were less than 2,000.  The commander of the US military, Major General George, commander of the 11th Army, even sent a message to Lieutenant General Pershing that the Mexican government forces were completely vulnerable. Only two US armies were enough to easily sweep all the Mexican government forces, and the other eight armies were  All can be used to attack the Chinese army!

    On September 22, the 11th Army and the 13th Army of the US Army launched a more violent attack on Bayes City.  After only two hours of fighting, the US military broke into the city.  Under the huge strength and equipment superiority of the US military, the Mexican government forces were retreating steadily.  By 4 p.m., the Mexican government troops, who had suffered more than half of their casualties, had to withdraw from Vallez City and retreat toward San Luis Potos¨ª.  In just two days, the U.S. military captured the city of Valles.

    After learning the specific situation, General Gao Chang ordered the Mexican government troops to resist continuously and delay the US military's attack on San Luis Potosi.

    On the afternoon of September 23, the US 12th Army and the 5th Army, which attacked from New Enlai State, arrived in San Luis Potosi.  The main force of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army responsible for guarding here is ready for battle.  That afternoon, the US military launched a tentative attack but was easily repelled by the Chinese defenders.  After that, the U.S. military did not launch another attack, but retreated to build defenses.

    At 9 a.m. the next day, the U.S. military once again attacked St. LouisSpotosi launched a fierce attack. Two US military corps focused more than 300 heavy artillery on San Luis Potosi and launched a fierce bombardment.  The Chinese defenders also fought back fiercely.  The artillery brigade of the Sixth Army and the artillery battalions of the 11th and 68th Divisions all participated in the artillery battle.  In terms of the number of artillery, the Chinese defenders are no less than the US military.  In terms of artillery performance and artillery level, it is even stronger than the US military.  This makes it impossible for the US military to take any advantage in the artillery battle.  After an hour of artillery battle, the US military lost more than 100 cannons, while the Chinese defenders only lost more than 50 cannons.

    The artillery was unable to win, which made the commander of the US military, Major General Moon, commander of the 12th Army, very angry.  Major General George in the east has captured Valles City and is marching towards San Luis Potosi. Major General Moon does not want to lose to Major General George.

    At 9:05 a.m., U.S. infantry launched an attack on San Luis Potosi under the cover of artillery fire.  Major General Moon committed two divisions and more than 25,000 troops in the first wave of attacks.

    A large number of U.S. troops lined up in skirmish lines and attacked the Chinese defenders' defense line.

    Except for part of the artillery of the Chinese defenders that continued to suppress the U.S. artillery, the other part turned to fire at the U.S. infantry.  Dense shells screamed down and exploded among the American soldiers.  The air wave formed after the explosion of the artillery shell threw the American soldiers away, but when they fell, the intact people had become broken pieces of flesh.  Scattered shrapnel wantonly harvested the lives of American soldiers.

    After finally getting through the artillery blockade of the Chinese defenders, the US military broke into an area less than 500 meters away from the Chinese defenders' position.

    "Fire!" As the frontline officers gave the order, the heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars of the Chinese defenders who had been prepared opened fire one after another!  Intense bullets were fired at the American soldiers, and rows of American soldiers fell to the ground like wheat.  The mortars on the front line were also firing at their maximum rate of fire. Although the mortars were not as powerful as the howitzers, they were a powerful weapon against the charging infantry.  As early as the Western Sichuan era, the Western Sichuan Army had already begun to use mortars, and now, this kind of weapon can be seen everywhere in the equipment of armies of various countries.  This has also changed the current tactics to a certain extent.  At least, the danger for soldiers hiding in the trenches has increased a lot, and mortars with direct fire can still launch shells into the trenches!

    "Mortar! Knock out the enemy's heavy machine gun!" a U.S. second lieutenant officer shouted loudly.

    A U.S. mortar was quickly set up, but before they could fire, a mortar shell fell from the sky, killing all the U.S. soldiers and the cannon.

    ¡°Son of a bitch!¡± the U.S. Army second lieutenant yelled.  But then, his eyes widened.  An robot that didn't know where it came from hit his heart and took away his life!

    Although the US military's attack was very fierce, it encountered the Chinese army with powerful firepower. Without the advantage of artillery fire, they were destined to have a bloody encounter in front of the Chinese defenders' defense line!  The U.S. military's attack lasted less than forty minutes before it stopped. In the face of huge casualties, the U.S. military's high fighting will was also rapidly weakening.

    "General, in the attack just now, we lost more than 6,000 people, most of whom were killed!" A brigadier general reported to Major General Moon.

    "Damn it! These Chinese sons of bitches are still so powerful!" Major General Moon said angrily.  A few years ago, he was just a division commander. During the war that broke out in San Luis Potosi, his division was almost crippled by the Chinese army's attack. This still remains fresh in his memory.  I originally thought that I could get revenge this time, but I didn't expect that I would be beaten to a bloody head under the defense line of the Chinese defenders!

    "We will attack again in half an hour!" Major General Moon ordered through gritted teeth.  He is unwilling to admit defeat just like this. His current strength is more than twice that of the Chinese defenders.  Of course, the Mexican government troops in San Luis Potosi were not included in his calculations at all.  He believed that with the two armies of American troops, they should be able to defeat the Chinese defenders!

    At 10:30 a.m., the U.S. military once again committed two divisions to attack San Luis Potosi.  However, this attack still did not achieve any results. Apart from leaving corpses all over the place on the way to the attack, the US military gained nothing!  Such a result made Major General Moon furious.  You know, in these two attacks, the US military has lost more than 10,000 people and one division is gone, but the Chinese defenders' defense line is still very stable!
