Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Acapulco, a city on the southwest coast of Mexico, has become a sea of ??people. China has gathered millions of troops here. At the same time, a large number of Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries are constantly arriving here.  Under the threat of the Chinese Navy's battleships, the US military has given up its offensive on the Acapulco front line and retreated to the east of the Sierra Madre del Sur. With the help of this mountain range, it formed a line to block the Chinese army in Acapulco and nearby areas.  line of defense.  On this line of defense, the US military deployed two million people and thousands of artillery pieces.  John.  General Pershing believes that once this line of defense can reach and withstand the Chinese army's attack, it will be enough to cause the Chinese to suffer a bloody blow here!

    Chinese Army Minister General Zhao Bowen has arrived in Acapulco and has become the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield. He is fully responsible for the operations of the Chinese army and mercenaries here.  Several armies of the Chinese army and the infantry divisions formed behind them have completed their rest and recuperation. After the Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries arrive, they will be able to launch an attack on the US military!

    General Zhao Bowen¡¯s headquarters is located in the port of Acapulco. He stood in front of the window of his office and looked at the transport ships waiting to enter the port. He felt very stressed.  This time the Battle of Mexico will be a test for him after he becomes the Minister of War. In the Chinese Army, not only is he qualified to become the Minister of War, but other generals are also qualified.  The reason why Wang Yuze made him the Minister of War was probably because he was the brigade commander of the 10th Cavalry Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, which was also the unit where Wang Yuze joined the army.  General Zhao Bowen also hopes to prove his ability through this battle in Mexico and let everyone understand that he did not sit on the position of Minister of War based on his so-called relationship with His Majesty the Emperor.

    "General, several generals have arrived in the conference room!" General Zhao Bowen's adjutant reported to him.

    "Yeah! I'll be there right away!" General Zhao Bowen nodded.  It is now January 14, 1912. There are not many days left to launch a counterattack against the US military. The preparations of the Chinese army are almost completed. At this time, General Zhao Bowen summoned the commanders of various group armies, as well as Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries.  The commander of the army is about to deploy a counterattack plan!

    A few minutes later, General Zhao Bowen appeared at the headquarters. General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Group Army of the Chinese Army, General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, General Du Qizheng, commander of the Seventh Army, and General He Bingju, commander of the Eighth Army of Japan.  Mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa, North Korean mercenary commander General Kim Soon-hwa, and Colombian commander Lieutenant General Manterres were all already waiting at the headquarters.  After seeing General Zhao Bowen, everyone stood up and saluted him.  Although Zhao Bowen is also a general, his position is China's Minister of Army and the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield!

    "Everyone, please take a seat!" General Zhao Bowen said after returning the gift.  He sat down at the top of the long table in the conference room. On his left were four Chinese generals, and on his right were the Japanese, Korean and Colombian commanders.

    "General Oshima, General Jin, when will your troops be assembled?" General Zhao Bowen asked.  Now, the Chinese army has basically completed preparations for combat and is already waiting for mercenaries.

    "Sir, it will take another week for all the Japanese mercenaries to arrive in Acapulco. As soon as they land, our soldiers do not need to rest and can launch an attack immediately!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said.  He succeeded Terauchi Masaki as the commander of the Japanese mercenaries after Masaki Terauchi retired in old age.  The sixty-one-year-old man had participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898 and served as the commander of the Third Division and a second-class viscount.  After Japan was defeated by China, he was decadent for a period of time, but later, he took the initiative to join Saionji Temple and expressed his allegiance to China.  During the Nanyang War, he and his army performed very well. Therefore, after Masaki Terauchi retired, he was able to become the supreme commander of the Japanese mercenaries.  In Oshima Yoshima's heart, the Japanese Empire has long gone. Japan can only survive by following China and acting as a lackey supported by China.

    And this time the battle against the United States is the best opportunity for Japan to show its loyalty to China. He has given death orders to the division commanders of the following divisions. During the war, no one is allowed to retreat without authorization, otherwise direct military law will be imposed.  Engage!

    "Well! I fully believe in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese mercenaries. You also performed very well in Nanyang. His Majesty the Emperor is also very optimistic about your performance in this battle. His Majesty the Emperor once said that in this battle  Japanese soldiers who perform well and gain military exploits can become second-class citizens of the empire!" said General Zhao Bowen.  Second-class citizens were established by China specifically to reward those who defected to China and other countries. In Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, some have become China's second-class citizens.??citizens, they enjoy the same rights and obligations as Chinese people, have also obtained Chinese nationality, and receive protection from China.  However, there are very few people who can become China's second-class citizens. For the Japanese and Koreans, becoming China's second-class citizens is already a very high honor!  In Japan and North Korea, many high-ranking officials are held by second-class citizens!

    "Yes, General, please tell His Majesty the Emperor that all officers and soldiers of the Japanese mercenary army will fight bravely to kill the enemy!" Oshima Yoshimasa said excitedly.  After he became the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, he also obtained Chinese nationality. He knew very well how crazy the officers and soldiers of the Japanese mercenaries would be after this news was announced.  However, this is what he hopes to see. The better the Japanese mercenary performs on the battlefield, the greater his contribution will be. After the war is over, he will definitely get a lot of rewards!

    "Sir, all the North Korean mercenaries will arrive in Acapulco within a week. The 200,000 North Korean mercenaries are already ready for battle. As long as you give the order, we can attack the Americans!  "Admiral Jin Shunhua also said quickly.  He didn't originally have this name, but he changed it to this name after joining the North Korean mercenary army.  Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries have always been secretly competing, but so far, North Korean mercenaries are still at a disadvantage.

    "Well! The performance of the North Korean mercenaries is also very good. I look forward to your performance in this war.

    If North Korean mercenaries perform well, they can also become second-class citizens of the empire and obtain imperial citizenship!  "General Zhao Bowen said.

    "Yes, sir, North Korean mercenaries will never let you down!" General Jin Shunhua bowed quickly and said. After that, he looked at General Oshima Yoshimasa provocatively, as if to prove to him that North Korean mercenaries  No worse than Japanese mercenaries, they are also valued by China!

    Admiral Oshima Yimasa curled his lips disdainfully. He looked down upon these Korean sticks very much. If the former queen of Joseon had not become the wife of the Chinese emperor, and even the current king of Joseon was a descendant of the Chinese emperor,  How can these North Koreans with rubbish fighting ability become mercenaries?  At least, the performance of these North Korean mercenaries on the battlefield is far inferior to that of Japanese mercenaries.  General Oshima Yoshimasa believes that in this battle, they will prove that Japanese mercenaries are the best mercenaries, and they cannot be compared with these Korean sticks!

    The Chinese generals present saw all this and smiled without saying a word.  Once upon a time, the Japanese were China's main enemies, but now, the Japanese have become one of China's most loyal lackeys.  Although the Japanese are naturally rebellious, they will never dare to rebel when their master is strong, and they are the best lackeys.  If you want the Japanese not to dare to rebel, if you do well, China will remain strong!

    The commander of the Colombian army, Lieutenant General Manterres, also watched all this with curiosity. On the Mexican battlefield, Colombia only had two divisions of the army, and their combat effectiveness was very poor. It is estimated that even a division of Japanese mercenaries or Korean mercenaries could  Nothing compares to the fact that they participated in this war just to make soy sauce!

    "The General Staff has agreed to our combat plan. The counterattack against the US military will begin on January 28, which is two weeks later. To the east of us, the US military has built military bases relying on the Sierra Madre del Sur and the Barsa River to the north.  A 500-kilometer-long defense line. However, although the Sierra Madre del Sur is not very high, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are not many places where we can break through head-on. The US military headquarters is located at the eastern foot of the Sierra Madre del Sur.  Chilpancingo. This is also the main passage through the Sierra Madre del Sur. Although the US military has deployed a large number of heavy troops here, we still only use this place as the main direction of attack. After the counterattack began, the Second Army and the Seventh Army  Mainly attacking the Chilpancingo front line, the Eighth Army moved towards the Barsa River. Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries cooperated in fighting. The remaining troops are waiting for the next order!" said General Zhao Bowen.

    "Yes, General!" everyone replied loudly.  Only General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, was a little unhappy.  The Sixth Army suffered heavy losses in previous battles. Although it has added many new soldiers, it is still in a running-in state.  Besides, there are still three divisions of the Sixth Army in the northern Icefield Province, and their combat effectiveness is only about 60%. In this counterattack, it is natural that they are not used as the main force!
