Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Marshal, a breakthrough! News just came from the frontline troops that we have driven the Americans out of Chilpancingo city!" General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, said excitedly.  Although the 6th Group Army suffered considerable losses in this battle, overall, they still achieved a considerable victory and finally avenged their previous humiliation, which made General Gao Chang very satisfied.

    "Very good! Order the troops to pursue them, bite the Americans hard, and don't let them slip away!" Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.  As the war progressed, Marshal Zhao Bowen also moved his headquarters from Tierra Colorada to Mazatlan in order to be able to understand the dynamics of the front line in a timely manner.

    "Yes, Marshal!" General Gao Chang immediately accepted the order.  After taking Chilpancingo, this means that the US military's defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur has been penetrated by the Chinese army.  From Chilpancingo to the east, there are low hilly areas, which will no longer hinder the Chinese army's offensive.  The Chinese Army can march straight into Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and make those shameful traitors pay a heavy price!

    At the same time, in the U.S. military headquarters, General Davis, the acting commander of the U.S. front line in Mexico, was also making final deployments.  Chilpancingo has been captured by the Chinese, and the entire defense line has been breached. If the US military does not want to be completely wiped out by the Chinese, it must immediately abandon the defense line and retreat eastward.  But at the same time, the retreat of millions of US troops also requires orderly organization and sufficient time.  Otherwise, the retreat is likely to turn into a rout as the Chinese Army pursues them.  Therefore, the US military needs to leave a force behind to buy enough time for the main force to retreat.  And this unit is the direct line unit of General Davis, the 16th Infantry Corps of the US Army.

    When Chilpancingo was captured by the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries, General Davis summoned the chief of staff and four division commanders of the 16th Army. He explained to them the crisis currently facing the US military and the need for the 16th Army.  All officers and soldiers of the military have made sacrifices for the U.S. military.  Although this is a bit cruel to the officers and soldiers of the 16th US Army.  But the chief of staff and several division commanders of the 16th Army all chose to obey General Davis's orders.  They assured General Davis that they would hold out for more than two days at Sunpango, a riverfront east of Chilpancingo, to buy enough time for the main force of the U.S. military to retreat.  Of course, they all know how dangerous it is to stay and break up.  The Chinese Army will certainly not watch the main force of the US military slip away, and they will face the most violent attack from the Chinese Army.  After two days, no one knows how many troops the US 16th Army will have left, and it is even possible that the entire army will be annihilated here.

    "Thank you. I will ask the staff to take credit for you. After two days, you can choose to retreat or surrender to the Chinese depending on the situation!" Admiral Davis said with red eyes.  The 16th Army was his direct unit. It was impossible to say that he was not sad when he watched his men die.  However, he is now not only the commander of the 16th Army, he is also the commander of the US military on the Mexican front line. He must consider the overall interests.  Someone must make sacrifices for this, and the 16th Army is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

    After General Davis explained all this, he immediately retreated eastward.  More than 50,000 men from the US 16th Army entered the fortifications that had been built in Sunpango on the riverside.  It is not impossible to rely on the strong fortifications here to resist the attack of the Chinese Army.  Riviera Sunpango is located east of Chilpancingo, still in the valley.  It's just that the mountains on both sides are not as steep as Chilpancingo.  As early as the battle of Chilpancingo, the US military had already built fortifications here.  At that time, General Pershing had already regarded this place as a place where the remaining troops could rely on the defenses here to complete the task of blocking the enemy in case the US military reported a war and needed to retreat eastward.

    During the retreat, General Davis did not forget to send a telegram to the U.S. Army Staff describing the dangers he was facing.  The defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur has been breached by the Chinese. In order to preserve his strength, he certainly has the right to issue orders that are beneficial to the US military.  However, the U.S. Army General Staff was thrown into confusion by the sudden battlefield situation.  Although they were very dissatisfied with General Davis's order to retreat, they could only admit it with their noses pinched.  Now it's a done deal, and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

    After capturing Chilpancingo on the afternoon of March 30, the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries did not stop there but continued to pursue the US military.  At this time, the US military is retreating, which is a great opportunity to pursue the US military.  If the tactics are appropriate, it will definitely be able to cause heavy damage to the US military.  You know, these all mean military achievements!  The commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Oshima Yoshimasa, even beat his chest loudly, assuring Marshal Zhao Bowen that the Japanese mercenaries would definitely hold back the U.S. troops and create an opportunity for the main force to annihilate the enemy on a large scale.  Zhao Bowenyuan agreed to let Japanese mercenaries serve as the main attackers.  Under the command of General Oshima Yoshimasa, four divisions of Japanese mercenaries launched a fierce pursuit of the U.S. military. In the eyes of these Japanese mercenary soldiers, those U.S. troops who were running away and had lost the courage to continue fighting were completely  It means military merit!  After gaining military merit, they can get more rewards and live a better life after the war is over.

    "Charge! Charge! Catch those white ghosts, don't let them escape!" The Japanese mercenary soldiers, like wild wolves in heat, howled and chased the retreating US troops.  However, when they chased Sunpango on the riverside, they bumped into the 16th Infantry Corps that was behind the U.S. Army. Their heads were badly bruised and bleeding, and they had to ask for support from China.

    Of course, the Japanese mercenaries were not willing to watch their huge military achievements slip away. They launched several fierce attacks on the 16th Army of the US Army.  However, they were all resisted by the US military who relied on strong defenses.  The Japanese mercenaries did not have heavy weapons, so they had to temporarily stop their advance.

    After receiving the news from the front line, the Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa once again asked to see Marshal Zhao Bowen.

    "Marshal, the Americans are so despicable. They built strong fortifications in Sunpango, and left elite troops to defend. We cannot break through the US military's defenses in a short time!" General Oshima Yoshimasa's face turned pale.  reported to Marshal Zhao Bowen.

    Marshal Zhao Bowen frowned. He knew that the US military would definitely leave behind troops to cut off the rear, but he did not expect that the troops left behind by the US military to cut off the rear would be so powerful. He knew that if they were not really in trouble, the Japanese mercenaries would not take the initiative.  Requesting support.

    "General Oshima, please rest assured, I will send the artillery to provide support for you immediately. In addition, the Chinese Air Force fighter planes are also on their way. When the time comes, they will provide fire cover for you!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

    "Yes, Marshal!" General Oshima Yoshimasa left happily.

    After General Oshima Yoshimasa left, General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Army, walked in and delivered the latest intelligence.

    "Marshal, our fighter jets have detected the movements of the US military. Now the main force of the US military has arrived in Huichuk, a hundred kilometers away. It seems that the Americans have long expected that they will not be able to resist our attack in Chilpancingo  Yes, we have secretly withdrawn the elite troops!" General Xie Dingkun said.

    "It seems that the bastard Yankee is not a fool after all!" Marshal Zhao Bowen couldn't help but cursed.  Although breaking through the US military's defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur was already a great achievement for them.  However, seeing that they could inflict heavy damage to the US military, but now they are watching the US military escape, this is undoubtedly watching the military exploits slip away!  For Marshal Zhao Bowen and other commanders of the Chinese army, this is unacceptable.

    "Send a telegram to the Air Force and bomb the retreating U.S. troops with all your strength. We cannot let them evacuate so easily!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  If the U.S. military continues to retreat eastward, perhaps by tomorrow, the main force of the U.S. military will have escaped the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets. Today and tomorrow morning will be the only chance for the Chinese Air Force.

    "Yes, Marshal!" General Xie Dingkun said.

    In the sky, a group of more than a hundred fighters, bombers and dive bombers were flying eastward quickly.  Originally, they planned to bomb the US military at Sunpango on the riverside, but after receiving the order midway, they changed their combat plan and continued flying eastward.  At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Air Force fleet caught up with the retreating main force of the US military.

    FB'Haidongqing, the fighter jets roared down and fired at the retreating US troops. The bullets fired by the aircraft machine guns were enough to easily cut the human body in two. Many US soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

    HB'Hongyan, the bomber, flew over the heads of the US military and dropped all the bombs it carried.  Although the bombing accuracy of Hongyan bombers is not high, the U.S. military is concentrated in the valley at this moment, making it undoubtedly the best target.  Coupled with the 'Hongyan', the bomber can carry one ton of bombs and twenty 50 kilogram aerial bombs. Among the dense US military teams, it will undoubtedly be able to achieve great results.

    As for the FH5 Falcon, the dive bomber is even more of a nightmare for the US military.  Every dive can make the US military tremble with fear. Many US troops directly abandon the road and flee into the mountains and forests on both sides.

    When the U.S. military withdrew from Chilpancingo, its morale was already extremely low. After being bombed by the Chinese Air Force, it collapsed in an instant.  A large number of American troops abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions.  This gradually spread to the entire retreating US military!
