    "Hold on! Hold on! It's going to be dawn soon, and by then China's air force! - After that, the Americans will retreat. As long as we hold on to the defense line, the Chinese army will definitely reward us greatly. Maybe it will give us  With a large bonus, when we return to Japan, we can buy a piece of land in the countryside and live for the rest of our lives. If we perform meritorious service, we may even be able to obtain Chinese nationality and become a master!" A Japanese mercenary  The major officer took advantage of the break in the battle to speak to his soldiers, hoping to encourage them.  It wasn't long before dawn. Although there were only less than two hundred people left in his team, they finally persevered and saw the dawn of victory.  And once they win, their gains will definitely be much greater than their losses.

    Although the remaining Japanese mercenary soldiers looked tired, their eyes were full of eagerness to try.  For ordinary Japanese mercenary soldiers, earning meritorious service in the war and receiving sufficient rewards are their only goals.  Most of these Japanese mercenary soldiers came from poor backgrounds. Working as soldiers to make money, and working for the Chinese has become their only way out.  Although the chance of death in battle is high, as long as you can persevere, you will eventually be able to earn enough money to buy a piece of land back in Japan and live a stable life.  As for obtaining Chinese nationality and becoming a master, this is simply not what they can hope for.

    The Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa also rushed to the headquarters of the Chinese Army¡¯s 6th Group Army and asked to see General Gao Chang.

    "General, it will be dawn soon. When will the Chinese Air Force fighter planes arrive? The Americans have not given up the attack yet. The pressure on the front line is very high!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said anxiously.  After a night of fighting, several Japanese mercenary divisions stationed on the front line of defense had been disabled.  With such a huge loss, even if General Oshima Yoshimasa no longer takes the lives of ordinary Japanese mercenary soldiers seriously, he still feels very distressed!  If the strength of Japanese mercenaries is weakened, his status will also be greatly affected.  Although Japan is continuously recruiting new soldiers, it will take a lot of time to transport them to the front line in Mexico.

    "General Oshima, please rest assured that our air force has made further preparations. The fighter planes will take off in half an hour, and it will only take an hour from the field airport in Acapulco to Chilpancingo. The last hour  , you must hold on!" General Gao Chang said.  So far, the performance of the Japanese mercenaries has satisfied him. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they have finally withstood the US military attack.

    "Yes, General, please rest assured, we will definitely crush the American attack!" General Oshima Yoshimasa assured.

    The U.S. military command headquarters, General Pershing and Lieutenant General Davis, also had bitter expressions on their faces.

    It will be dawn soon. Once the Chinese Air Force arrives, the US military will definitely suffer a heavy blow.  Therefore, in order to preserve its strength, the US military must withdraw from the battlefield before the Chinese Air Force arrives.  However, after a night of fierce fighting, the US military had paid a heavy price. Both the 37th Army and the 38th Army had been severely damaged and were on the verge of collapse.  Moreover, now there is only one line of defense guarded by Japanese mercenaries, and victory is already in sight.

    "General, what should we do now? It will be dawn soon, and the Chinese air force will arrive on the battlefield soon!" Lieutenant General Davis asked.

    General Pershing was very unwilling. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said: "Order the artillery to fire with all their strength and give them fifteen minutes to fire artillery shells at the enemy's position. Fifteen minutes later, the 39th Army immediately fired at the enemy's position."  The enemy attacks!"

    "Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Davis immediately issued the order without any hesitation.  He knew that General Pershing was unwilling and wanted to take advantage of the last moment to launch an attack.  There is still half an hour before dawn, and with the Chinese Air Force arriving from Acapulco, the US military still has about an hour.  This is also their last chance.  As long as the US military can regain its position before the Chinese Air Force arrives, this is a victory!  And this is exactly what General Pershing and the US military in Mexico need, and it is what the US government needs!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The U.S. military's running group opened fire. Thousands of large-caliber heavy artillery fired at the defense line held by the Japanese mercenaries according to the marked shooting elements.  Dense artillery shells fell, and balls of orange-red fireballs rose on the position.  The shock wave generated by the explosion of the artillery shell, as well as the shrapnel flying in all directions, wantonly harvested the lives on the position.

    The Japanese mercenary soldiers lay in the shallow trenches and silently endured the fierce shelling from the US military.  In the fierce fighting, the defenses on the defense line had long been destroyed, and a lot of sediment had accumulated in the trenches.  The Japanese mercenaries suffered heavy losses amid the fierce bombardment by the US military.

    Fifteen minutes of fighting, although not??, but in the eyes of the Japanese mercenary soldiers who were under bombardment, their days were like years.  After the US bombardment ended, the four infantry divisions of the US 39th Army, which had already been prepared, immediately launched an attack on the Japanese mercenary defense lines.  For an adult soldier, it only takes two or three minutes to cover the short distance of 500 meters.

    "Get up! Get up! The Americans are attacking, knock them down!" The Japanese mercenary soldiers, who had finally survived the US bombardment, came out of the trenches at the urging of their officers, controlled the weapons in their hands, and fired at them.  The U.S. military attacks.  Dense bullets and artillery shells fired at the American troops who came like a tide, knocking each American soldier to the ground.  However, more American soldiers launched a charge one after another. For a time, the defense line of the Japanese mercenary soldiers who suffered heavy losses became somewhat precarious.

    "Commander, the American offensive is too fierce, and the Japanese mercenaries will soon be unable to hold on!" A staff officer ordered to General Gao Chang.

    "Well! Order the 11th and 12th Divisions to enter the battle in ten minutes. After a night's rest, it's time for us to take action!" General Gao Chang said.  Although the current US military offensive is very fierce, in the view of General Gao Chang, this is the end of the war effort.  More importantly, the Chinese Air Force has begun to rush towards Chilpancingo, and the US military's attack will come to an end with the arrival of the Chinese Air Force.

    "Kill!" On the battlefield, the U.S. military has broken through the Japanese mercenary defense line, and tens of thousands of people from both sides are strangled together.  Fierce fighting took place on the battlefield, with soldiers on both sides constantly inserting bayonets into the enemy's body.  Although the Japanese mercenaries were better at bayonet fighting, they were tired and hungry and could no longer withstand the US military's attack when they were at a serious military disadvantage!

    At this time, the 11th and 12th Divisions of the Chinese Army's 6th Group Army joined the battlefield.  The addition of more than 30,000 fresh troops immediately changed the course of the battlefield.

    The US military's offensive was effectively contained. With the help of the two divisions of the Chinese Army, the Japanese mercenary soldiers gradually gained a foothold and assisted the Chinese Army in launching a counterattack.

    "General, the Chinese have sent reinforcements. Judging from the numbers of the troops, they are all elite troops of the Chinese Army. The Chinese air force is already on the way, and our attack will no longer be successful!" Davis  the lieutenant general said.

    General Pershing nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Order the frontline troops to retreat! In addition, all the artillery is also hidden to defend against air strikes by the Chinese Air Force!"

    Following General Pershing¡¯s order, the American soldiers who were fighting with the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries retreated one after another.  However, the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries got stuck in time.  The two sides have been locked in a criss-cross fight, and it is already impossible for the US military to retreat.  For a time, the American troops who wanted to retreat were defeated by the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries.  What was originally an orderly retreat suddenly turned into a rout.  A large number of American soldiers shouted that they were defeated and fled back frantically.  Then he was chased by the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries and beaten to the ground.

    At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Air Force fighter planes had arrived. Dozens of FB'Haitongqing fighter jets in the sky began to shoot and drop bombs at the defeated U.S. soldiers. This undoubtedly exacerbated the collapse of the U.S. military.

    The defeated U.S. Army was unable to withstand the Chinese Army's attack. Not only did they lose the defense line they captured, but the defense line they originally defended was also broken through by the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries.

    The situation is already very critical for the US military.  The defense line in front of Chilpancingo was obviously unable to hold under the fierce attack of the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries.

    Under such circumstances, in order to avoid suffering greater losses, General Pershing ordered the abandonment of frontline positions, and all U.S. troops retreated to the city of Chilpancingo and defended the city.

    At 8 a.m., all U.S. troops withdrew to Chilpancingo city.  The Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries launched a tentative attack, but were beaten back.  The U.S. military's defense in Chilpancingo is very strong, and it also has fire support from the mountains on both sides of the city.  It may not be so easy for the Chinese army to break through Chilpancingo defended by the US military.

    However, under the fierce bombing by the Chinese Air Force and the fierce shelling by the Chinese Army's artillery, the U.S. military's defense has become weaker and weaker, and its morale has been greatly affected. The U.S. military wants to continue to attack Qilpansing.  It has become very difficult for Ge to resist the attack of the Chinese army!
