Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the European battlefield was in the cold winter, the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers stopped their large-scale attacks and began to curl up and lick their wounds. The clouds of war over Mexico were getting thicker and thicker. China and the United States, as well as their slave countries,  More than four million troops have been assembled on the front line of the Sierra Madre del Sur, and the war is about to break out.  Both China and the United States, and even European countries that have stopped large-scale wars, have focused their attention here.  The upcoming Battle of Sierra Madre del Sur will become an important battle that changes the battlefields of North America and even the world.  If China wins, it will be able to push into the hinterland of Mexico and threaten the United States from south to north.  And if the United States wins, China's threat to the United States will be eliminated.  Therefore, both China and the United States are desperately trying to win this war!

    Judging from the current comparison of military strength between the two sides, the coalition formed by the US military and the Mexican government has an absolute advantage. The US military has assembled 2.2 million people on the front line of the Sierra Madre del Sur, and the Mexican government, which unified the north and the south, has also sent 300,000 troops.  The army made John.  The total strength of the army commanded by General Pershing reached 2.5 million men.  In addition, the US military on the defensive can use the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains to build strong defensive positions and use the fortifications to attack the Chinese and China's slave countries, occupying a favorable situation on the battlefield.

    On the other hand, the Chinese army has only three fully-staffed group armies and one group army lacking three infantry divisions. Together with 20 newly formed infantry divisions and 700,000 mercenaries, the total strength is only 1.7 million people.  , compared to the United States, there are 800,000 fewer people.  Although the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is more powerful, and the combat effectiveness of Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries is much stronger than that of the Mexican army, the defense fortifications built by the US military have well offset these gaps.  Therefore, even though the generals of China and the United States are very confident in their respective armies, they are not sure that they will be able to win the war.

    The headquarters of the U.S. Army is located in Chilpancingo, John.  General Pershing was the top commander of the U.S. military in Mexico. However, after the total strength of the U.S. military exceeded two million, the U.S. Department of the Army sent him a chief of staff to assist him in commanding the army.  This person is Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees, a famous general in the U.S. Army.

    "Bang bang!" in John.  While General Pershing was reading a report, there was a knock on the office door.

    "Come in!" General Pershing raised his head and said, then his attention returned to the report in his hand.  This report is a report on the analysis of the strength of China in Acapulco and its slave states.  It¡¯s just John.  Admiral Pershing believed that the report was not comprehensive.  In the report, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army was completely underestimated. After several battles with the Chinese army, John.  General Pershing has a deep understanding of the strength of the Chinese army.  As for this time, he previously commanded 500,000 US troops to attack 100,000 Chinese troops. Although he successfully drove the Chinese troops from San Luis Potosi on the back of Mexico to Acapulco in the southwest, tens of thousands were wiped out.  Chinese army, but the US military itself also suffered relatively heavy losses, especially the Chinese counterattacks against the US 12th Army and the 5th Army, which caused heavy losses to the US military.  This makes General Pershing still lack confidence in this war even though he has more than two million troops under his control!

    Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees opened the door and entered the office. He came to General Pershing and said: "Your Excellency, the Army Staff has rejected your request.

    Both the Secretary of War and the Chief of Staff believe that the United States has deployed enough troops in Mexico, and the Sierra Madre del Sur should be able to stop the Chinese from advancing.  Therefore, they refused to send more troops to Mexico!  "

    "Damn it! They don't understand the situation at all. We have to face millions of Chinese troops and 700,000 vicious Japanese and Korean mercenaries. With our current strength, even if we can temporarily block the Chinese attack, we will not be able to stop the Chinese attack temporarily.  You won't be able to hold on for long! Those guys who only know how to sit in the office and read reports have no idea about the real situation on the front line!" John.  General Pershing cursed.

    "Your Excellency, there is no way to do this! Although the U.S. Army has mobilized four million troops, half of the troops have been sent to Mexico. In addition to the Mexican battlefield, there are other fronts that need to be defended. Therefore, the war  The Secretary and Chief of Staff are understandably reluctant to send more reinforcements to Mexico!" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees said.

    "Other fronts? The west coast defense line? The navy has built so many fortresses on the west coast. Unless the Chinese are brain-locked, they will definitely not touch the west coast defense line. As for the east coast, the military strength of the -  The Chinese will not launch an attack on the Mexican battlefield when theThe most important battlefield, once we are defeated here, the Chinese will march straight in and directly attack the hinterland of the United States. This will be a disaster for the United States!  General Pershing complained.

    Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Bliss shrugged helplessly. He knew General Pershing's temper, but there was nothing he could do about this matter.  In addition, he also believed that it was impossible for the Chinese to break through the defensive line of the Sierra Madre del Sur, which was heavily defended by the US military.

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we should recommend to the War Bar and the Army Staff to continue mobilizing and adding more army troops. The current four million army is simply not enough, and it must be at least doubled. Although the Chinese only  Mexico sent one million men, but they continued to mobilize and sent more troops to Mexico. We need more troops to hold the line of defense!" General Pershing said.

    "Doubling the size again? General, this will have a serious impact on the U.S. economy!" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees exclaimed.

    "If we are defeated, no matter how good the economy is, it will be useless! The Chinese not only want to defeat us this time, they want to completely destroy the United States. Otherwise, they will not let go of the near future.  Don't care about India and Australia, which are just around the corner, they will attack us across the vast Pacific Ocean!" Admiral Pershing affirmed.  I have to admit that his prediction was still very accurate.

    "Okay, General, I will make suggestions to the War Office and the Army Staff in the name of both of us, but it is hard to say whether they can accept our suggestions!" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees said.  At least in his opinion, their suggestions would most likely be rejected!

    "Chief of Staff, let's not talk about this issue. According to the intelligence we have now, the Chinese war preparations are almost completed. It is said that the Chinese Minister of Army has rushed to Acapulco to personally direct this battle. It can be seen that  They attach great importance to this battle. However, where will the Chinese attack from? The Barsa River in the north? Or directly attack the Sierra Madre del Sur and confront us head-on?" Admiral Pershing guessed!

    "Your Excellency, Admiral, I think it will be the Balsa River in the north. The Balsa River is not wide. With the Chinese naval strength, they can easily cover their crossing. Therefore, I think we should strengthen the defense on the Balsa River.  . Although we have deployed ten armies there, it seems not enough! I suggest adding five to six more armies!" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees suggested.

    General Pershing nodded, and then said: "Four armies can be transferred to Decatalan as a reserve force for the defense line of the Barsa River. Once the Chinese's main attack direction is there, reinforcements can be understood. However, I still  I think the main direction of the Chinese attack will be Tierra Colorada, which is the most convenient way to advance to Mexico City, and the Chinese will not give up here and bypass the Sierra Madre del Sur!"

    "What? Your Excellency, General, I think it can't be here. We have deployed 500,000 troops in Tierra Colorada and built a strong defense line. There are 500,000 reinforcements in Chilpancingo behind at any time.  Reinforcements can come up. If the Chinese attack here, they will be beaten to death!" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees shook his head. He did not think the Chinese would be so stupid.

    "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, although our troops are strong, our defense line is too long. There are many places to defend. But the Chinese can concentrate their forces to attack one point. Although we have built strong defenses in Tierra Colorada,  The Chinese have enough heavy artillery and elite soldiers. Even if they have to pay a huge price, as long as they are determined to break through Tierra Colorada, it will be difficult for us to defend it!" General Pershing said.

    "Your Majesty, General, what should we do?" Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Bliss said with a frown.

    "There is no other way, we can only defend here. However, we have strong defense support, and the casualties may not be as big as the Chinese. In this fierce battle, it depends on who can't hold on first."

    If the Chinese give up because of excessive casualties, this will be the best result for the United States!  "General Pershing said. There is no doubt that this will be a tough battle. Although the battle has not yet begun, General Pershing seems to have smelled the smell of blood.

    Tuckers.  Lieutenant General Brees nodded. Although Europe has been the main battlefield since the start of the world war, a war more tragic than the European War is about to break out in Mexico. Millions of troops from China and the United States will fight in a bloody battle here.  !
