    About eight kilometers east of Hartianjis, Lieutenant General Chang Ke of the US 16th Army was leading more than 40,000 people from the 16th Army to retreat. Also retreating were more than 20,000 people from the 25th US Army.  Remnant of the army.  However, compared with the 16th Army, which still retains great combat effectiveness, the 25th Army has already suffered heavy losses in the consecutive days of fighting.  This time, Lieutenant General George did not let them cut off the rear, so the 25th Army retreated with the 16th Army.  Now all fools know that staying in Haltiangis will definitely not end well, so it is better to withdraw to Tiela Colorada as soon as possible.

    "General Clark, the latest information is that Lieutenant General George is surrounded. The Chinese army has cut off their retreat and has blocked the defenders staying in Hartianjis!" the commander of the 25th US Army told  Lieutenant General Clark said.

    "Damn it! What did that guy George do? Didn't I tell him to retreat immediately if he couldn't withstand the Chinese attack?" Lieutenant General Clark couldn't help but curse.  Once it is surrounded by the Chinese army, the outcome will be certain.

    "General, what should we do now? Should we go back to rescue Lieutenant General George?" said the commander of the 25th US Army.  However, when he said this, his voice was a little soft.  Obviously, he was unwilling to go back to rescue Lieutenant General George.  If we go back now, there will only be a dead end.  After finally escaping, he was absolutely unwilling to go back and die.

    Lieutenant General Clark took a deep look at the commander of the 25th Army, and then said: "Forget it, the Chinese offensive is very fierce. With tens of thousands of us, it is impossible to break the Chinese blockade or retreat.  Very good!"

    Hearing what Lieutenant General Clark said, the commander of the 25th US Army finally breathed a sigh of relief.  He was afraid that Lieutenant General Clark would ask to go back to rescue Lieutenant General George and others.  Although they are both military commanders, he only has the rank of major general, while Clark has the rank of lieutenant general and is also General Pershing's capable subordinate. His status is naturally much higher than that of other military commanders.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this time, several artillery shells fell in the retreating US military queue. Several US soldiers were killed on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ground.  The American soldiers who were attacked suddenly fled in all directions like frightened birds.

    "What's going on? Where did the shelling come from?" Lieutenant General Clark asked quickly.

    "General, the Chinese, the Chinese are coming!" A low-level officer said in a panic.

    "How many Chinese are chasing us?" Lieutenant General Clark asked.  It stands to reason that the Chinese army is encircling and annihilating the US troops in Hartianjis, and it is unlikely to send too many troops to pursue them.

    "There are many, our troops are resisting their attacks everywhere. But the Chinese attack is very fierce, and we can hardly hold it anymore!" said the junior officer.

    "Damn it!" Lieutenant General Clark hesitated for a moment, but gave up his plan to attack the Chinese army.  If the main force of the Chinese army comes to pursue him, his 16th Army and the 25th Army that have lost their fighting spirit are simply no match for the main force of the Chinese army.  After all, the Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries have assembled nearly 700,000 people in Haltiangis, with sufficient strength to launch a pursuit.  If it weren't for the terrain of the Sierra Madre del Sur, they might have already broken through the US military's defense line.

    "Lead your people to stay to stop the Chinese and buy an hour for the main force!" Lieutenant General Clark said to the commander of the 25th US Army.

    "Ah!" The commander of the 25th US Army suddenly turned green.  The Chinese are launching a fierce attack. Now let him lead the army to stay to stop the Chinese. Isn't that asking for death?  He was not willing to die like this.

    "Listen, Commander, execute the order!" Lieutenant General Clark said loudly.

    "Okay, Lieutenant General!" the commander of the 25th US Army said bitterly. What can he do?  The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!  Lieutenant General Clark forcefully asked him to lead his troops to stop the attack. What else could he say?

    Soon, the troops of the US 16th Army evacuated the remaining 20,000 people of the 25th Army and built a simple defense line on the road to Tierra Colorada to block the Chinese army's attack.

    In Hartianjis, the Chinese army¡¯s attack is coming to an end.  Not only the defeated remnants of Lieutenant General George's 11th Army were blocked two kilometers east of Hartianjis.  More than 30,000 troops from the US 23rd Army were also intercepted during the rout.  On the outskirts of Hartianjis, two encirclement circles were formed, and the remaining more than 50,000 people from the two US military armies were all surrounded here.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese mercenaries launched an attack on the surrounded U.S. Army. After being surrounded, the U.S. military's fighting will declined to the extreme.  The 23rd Army, in particular, was quickly defeated in the face of the Japanese mercenaries' fearless attack.  In order to preserve everyone¡¯s sexuality??, the commander of the 23rd US Army chose to surrender.  Despite this, the murderous Japanese returned many surrendered American soldiers in order to avenge their compatriots who died in the battle.  After the Chinese army stopped them, the Japanese stopped killing prisoners.

    "Protest, I want to protest to you. We have surrendered and we should get the treatment we deserve. You uncivilized barbarians dare to kill prisoners of war. This is a serious violation of international conventions. You are condemned by the whole world.  Yes!" A US military officer was very dissatisfied with the Japanese mercenaries' killing of prisoners and protested loudly.

    "Pah!" A Chinese officer slapped him in the face, then grabbed his hair and said in English: "Be honest, you are just prisoners of war now. In addition, these Japanese are mercenaries.  They don¡¯t need to abide by international conventions. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I will replace all the people guarding the prisoner of war camp with Japanese mercenaries!"

    The threat from the Chinese officers made the US officers and other US prisoners of war shudder. If the prisoners of war were guarded by these murderous Japanese, then they would definitely have disastrous consequences.  Although the Chinese are not easy to mess with and are vicious, they are much better than those Japanese mercenaries since childhood, and there is no need to worry about being killed casually.  Therefore, all of those American prisoners of war became honest one by one!

    The officers and soldiers of the 23rd U.S. Army chose to surrender, but the 11th U.S. Army chose to resist to the end.  Lieutenant General George already knew that this time it was a complete failure, but he was unwilling to surrender to the Chinese army, but chose to resist.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dense artillery shells fell on the position of the 11th US Army. More than 20,000 people were crowded in a small area of ??less than two square kilometers. Almost every shell that fell would take away several lives.  .  The resistance of the US military has become increasingly weak under the fierce attack of the Chinese army.

    "How is the situation on the front line?" General Zhao Bowen, commander of the Chinese army, climbed to Highland No. 1 and watched the battle on the front line with binoculars.  The surrender of the 23rd U.S. Army made the scale of the battle much smaller. More Chinese troops and Japanese mercenaries were ordered to attack eastward to pursue the fleeing U.S. troops.

    "Sir, the 23rd Army of the US Army has surrendered to us, but the remaining 20,000 people of the 11th Army chose to resist." General Xie Dingkun said.

    "Oh? Are there any Americans who are not afraid of death?" General Zhao Bowen was greatly surprised.  These Americans, when in desperate situations, often choose to save their own lives, instead of dying to express their ambitions like the Chinese.

    ¡°The commander of the 11th U.S. Army, Lieutenant General George, was the U.S. commander in the battle of Hartianjis.

    Probably because of the disastrous defeat, I can¡¯t let go of my dignity!  "General Du Qizheng said. Although the final result of this battle has not yet come out, it will definitely be very rich. This makes the generals of the Chinese army feel very happy.

    "Send someone to contact the US military and ask them to surrender! They have no way to survive." General Zhao Bowen said.

    Ten minutes later, a Chinese second lieutenant, holding a white flag, walked up to the U.S. military's position, brought them a surrender letter from China, and claimed that if the U.S. military did not surrender, China would drop its heavy artillery to attack the U.S. military.  Perform a bombardment and blow them all to smithereens.

    Soon, the officers on the frontline of the US military sent the surrender letter to General George.  General George tore the surrender letter into pieces without even looking at it.

    "Tell those despicable Chinese that we are American soldiers, we have our glory, and we will never surrender to them!" Lieutenant General George said loudly.

    However, Lieutenant General George's actions made other US military officers very dissatisfied.  Lieutenant General George didn¡¯t want to live anymore, but they still wanted to continue living!

    "General, we have no retreat now. If we continue to fight, we will only die. For the sake of everyone's lives, we surrender like the Chinese!" a brigadier general persuaded.

    "No!" Lieutenant General George flatly refused.

    Half an hour later, the Chinese army, which had not received a reply, launched a violent bombardment of the US military positions. The dense artillery shells fell, killing a large number of US troops.  The besieged US military also had a strong desire to survive at this moment. Instigated by some officers, the US military mutinied.  The mutinous soldiers surrounded the headquarters, arrested Lieutenant General George, and then issued an order to surrender to the Chinese army on Lieutenant General George's order.  At that moment, Lieutenant General George chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

    Lieutenant General George and his troops, who were praised by the President of the United States, ended up with this result.  When countries around the world learned of the war, U.S. President Taft?¡¯s face felt like a slap in the face!
