    "General, should we launch a tentative attack on the Chinese? Perhaps the reason why the Chinese have delayed launching an attack on Chilpancingo is because they encountered some trouble. For example, there was a problem with logistical supplies?" David  Lieutenant General Si suggested.  If that is the case, this is an excellent opportunity for the US military, and it can even defeat China.

    A flash of excitement flashed in General Pershing's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace.  He knows that the Chinese are not fools. Even if there are problems with the Chinese army's logistics, the Chinese army must have left enough combat supplies to protect itself.  The morale of the US military is now low, and the defense is somewhat reluctant. If it takes the initiative to attack, once it suffers a disastrous defeat, the morale of the US military will fall to the bottom.  This is also very detrimental to the subsequent defensive operations.  General Pershing did not dare to take this risk.  The United States requires him to drag the Chinese army in Mexico as much as possible, but does not require him to defeat the Chinese army.  Of course, the U.S. government also considers that it is currently impossible to defeat the Chinese army, and does not force it to do so.  If anything goes wrong because of the proactive attack, General Pershing will not be able to complete the domestic tasks assigned to him.

    "Forget it, Davis, our most important task now is to defend Chilpancingo and delay the Chinese advance to central and northern Mexico as much as possible. Moreover, after the Chinese rest and recuperation is over, their attack will  It will definitely be very violent. We must further strengthen Chilpanzingo's defense!" General Pershing said.

    Lieutenant General Davis nodded. Although his suggestion was not adopted, he could understand General Pershing. The current situation was very unfavorable to the US military. If the risk failed, failure would be waiting for the US military.  General Pershing's caution is undoubtedly more in line with the current status of the US military.

    "Order the other armies to hold their positions. In addition, how long will it take for the four armies that have withdrawn from the north to reach Chilpancingo?" General Pershing asked.  Now, after the arrival of reinforcements from ten US armies, the US army in Chilpancingo has once again increased to 800,000 people.  However, General Pershing still did not have enough confidence and ordered the four corps originally prepared to support the Balsa River to return to Chilpancingo.  After the Balsa River defense line was breached by the Chinese army, General Pershing believed that it was no longer necessary to hold on there.  Anyway, the entire southwestern region of Mexico is densely forested and the traffic conditions are poor. It is impossible for the Chinese army to outflank the US military's retreat.  Once such a crisis is discovered, General Pershing can order the US military to abandon the defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur to preserve its strength.

    "General, they will arrive in Chilpanzingo in three days at most. When this army arrives, our army in Chilpanzingo will increase to one million. Chilpanzingo cannot accommodate it at all.  So many people, we had to put these troops in the area east of Chilpancingo!" said Lt. Gen. Davis.  Chilpancingo, built in the valley, can only be regarded as a small city. Although it is larger than Tierra Colorada, its size is limited. Even though all the Mexican civilians in the city have left, it still needs to be accommodated in this small city.  One million troops is still impossible.  What's more, the Chinese occupied the sky, and the Chinese Air Force's bombing was very powerful. Too many American troops gathered together, which only made the Chinese Air Force's results even greater.

    "It doesn't matter, all these troops can be deployed east of Chilpanzingo, as long as they can quickly support Chilpanzingo after the battle begins!" General Pershing said nonchalantly.  There is no doubt that if the US military wants to hold Chilpancingo or delay the Chinese army here as much as possible, it will also need to use human lives to fill it.  Fortunately, the terrain of Chilpancingo allows the US military to complete the defense without deploying too many troops. Similarly, the Chinese army cannot deploy too many troops.  Therefore, millions of American troops were invested in the Battle of Chilpancingo. Even if they were used as cannon fodder, they would be enough to last for a long time.  In addition, U.S. military reinforcements also brought a large number of artillery, bringing the number of U.S. heavy artillery with a caliber above 5 mm in Chilpanzingo to 2,000, fully twice that of the Chinese Army.  This will greatly enhance the defense capabilities of the US military.  Of course, the prerequisite is that the US military's artillery must be able to withstand the bombing of the Chinese Air Force!

    The Chinese army¡¯s combat preparations lasted until March 6.  The warehouse built on the seaside of Acapulco is filled with various weapons and ammunition.  At the same time, on the road from Acapulco to Tierra Colorada, there was a constant flow of transport vehicles carrying heavy troops.

    On the evening of March 6, Chinese Army Minister Marshal Zhao Bowen held a pre-war meeting at the frontline headquarters in Tierra Colorada.

    In addition to the commanders of the 2nd, 6th and 7th armies, the meeting was also attended by the Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa. The Japanese mercenaries performed very well in previous battles.  Of course, there were also heavy casualties.  Japanese mercenaries in HaltianIn the Battle of Guise and the Battle of Tiela Colorada, a total of nearly 200,000 people were lost, and many divisions were crippled, even to the point of being abolished.  However, although the Japanese mercenaries were a little distressed by such casualties, that was all.  In Japan, there are still a large number of Japanese young people waiting to join mercenaries!  These lost troops can be replenished quickly.  It is expected that by next month, a group of trained Japanese mercenary soldiers will arrive in Mexico. They will join the divisions that have suffered serious losses and restore the combat effectiveness of these divisions!

    "Everyone, in the previous stage of the battle, we achieved great results. However, it is undeniable that our enemy is still very powerful. According to the intelligence we have received, the US military has once again assembled in Chilpancingo  We have an army of millions of people. This is a huge challenge for us. However, I am still confident of defeating the Americans. Because today's wars are no longer decided solely by the number of troops.  . We have powerful air superiority, and our fighter planes and airships will destroy the defenses of the Americans, break their will to resist, and let those American soldiers who have only conducted recruit training for a few months experience the cruelty of war and let them know  We Easterners are so awesome! Let me tell you some good news. The number of fighter jets deployed by the Air Force to Mexico has reached 120, and there are also 80 bombers. In addition to the original more than 40 airships, our air combat  The force has more than doubled than before! Moreover, the transport ship brought tens of thousands of tons of aerial bombs, enough to blow the entire Chilpanzingo into rubble!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

    Everyone had smiles on their faces. Although they had waited for so many days, the wait was not in vain.  When swarms of planes fly over the heads of the Americans, dropping bombs, destroying the Americans' defenses and will to resist, the scene must be very exciting!

    Especially the Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa, whose old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.  He is very clear about the positioning of Japanese mercenaries, which is Chinese artillery fire on the battlefield.  Although he didn't care about the casualties of ordinary soldiers, he would still be very happy if the losses could be reduced a little.  In the battle of Tiela Colorada, the performance of the Chinese Air Force shocked him very much.  Without the bombing by the Chinese Air Force, the casualties paid by the Japanese mercenaries would probably have doubled.  The US military's defense in Chilpancingo is even tighter, which will undoubtedly mean that more Japanese young people will fall on this strange land forever.  However, the Chinese Air Force's powerful bombing was able to reduce the casualties of Japanese mercenaries to a great extent.  At the same time, General Oshima Yoshimasa also deeply realized the power of China. In the past, China's army and navy were stronger than Japan, but this is understandable.  But now, China still has a powerful air force, and Japan can only look up to this new weapon.

    In the view of General Oshima Yoshimasa, Japan is destined to never be able to escape the shadow of China. It can only develop by following China's ass.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, please give the order when to launch the attack on the Yankees! We Japanese mercenaries will definitely let these white ghosts know how powerful we yellow people are!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said immediately.

    "Haha! Okay, General Oshima, you have such confidence, which is very good. The performance of the Japanese mercenaries is also very good, and I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, during this attack on Chilpanzingo,  Japanese mercenaries will definitely have a chance to perform!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said!

    General Oshima Yoshimasa was very happy to be praised by Marshal Zhao Bowen. It would be even better if Marshal Zhao Bowen really reported it to His Majesty the Emperor of China.  At least General Oshima Yoshimasa knew that this time on the Mexican battlefield, the Japanese mercenaries performed much better than the Korean mercenaries.  Although they are both China's lackeys, Japan's lackey is ranked first!

    "Everyone, our strategic supplies have been stocked, and our ministries are almost ready for rest. Starting tomorrow, we will launch an attack on Chilpancingo, where the US military is defending. General Gao Chang, your 6th Group Army will serve as the vanguard and take the lead.  Launch an attack. Take Mazatlan first, and then wait for the next order!" Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.

    "Yes, Marshal!" General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, said in a deep voice!
