Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "According to the intelligence we have received, the number of U.S. troops gathered around Mexico City is 150, and there are 30 armies in total. However, the morale of these troops is relatively low, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly affected. In addition,  Reinforcements from the Navy are also on the way, estimated to be 20 troops and about one million people. Our logistical preparations are not expected to be completed until late this month. Therefore, the time for launching an attack on the US military has been initially determined.  Around the 25th of this month." Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  The reason for delaying the attack again was, on the one hand, to make preparations more complete, but on the other hand, it was also because one battle established Mexico's absolute advantage on the battlefield.

    In previous battles, the losses of the US military have been very heavy. If more than two million US troops can be swallowed up in the area around Mexico City, then the US will be in big trouble. The US military wants to establish another military base in northern Mexico.  The defense line against the Chinese army will also be ineffective due to lack of troops.  Of course, it is not that difficult to eat up the US military in one bite, even with the assistance of armored forces.  After all, the number of U.S. troops in the areas surrounding Mexico City will increase by about 2.5 million.

    The Chinese Army has three fully staffed group armies plus one understaffed group army and forty infantry divisions, with a total strength of more than 1.4 million people, plus 500,000 Japanese mercenaries and 200,000 North Korean mercenaries.  The total strength of the U.S. military is only 2.1 million, which is hundreds of thousands less than the U.S. military. Add in the hundreds of thousands of Mexican government troops, and the disparity in strength between the two sides will reach about one million.  Although the Chinese army has more powerful combat capabilities and is supported by armored forces and air force, it is still very difficult to completely annihilate the US military.

    In addition, Mexico City is surrounded by high mountains. Although it is conducive to encircling the US military, if the US military breaks through these mountains, it will be very difficult for the Chinese army to intercept it.  Marshal Zhao Bowen hopes that in this battle, the main force of the US military can be retained and annihilated. This is enough.  For the Chinese army, this is relatively less difficult.

    The generals couldn¡¯t help but nodded after listening to Marshal Zhao Bowen¡¯s narrative. Setting the attack time on the 25th would make their preparations more complete.  When breaking through the US military's defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur, all units paid a certain price, and the soldiers were very tired. They could just use this time to take a rest, and the new recruits could also run in with the troops for a longer period of time.  Conducive to the display of combat effectiveness of the troops.  As for the greater U.S. military presence, that doesn't worry the generals.  The outcome of the war is no longer determined by military strength. The Chinese Army is fully capable of defeating the U.S. Army, which has greater military strength.

    "Judging from the intelligence we have received so far, the main force of the US military is mainly located in Cuernavaca and Cuautla. Now the US military has deployed more than fifteen corps in these two places and has begun to build a solid defense line.  . It can be expected that after the main force of the US military arrives, they will deploy more troops here! In addition, there are 5 troops in Puebla. The remaining troops are deployed around Mexico City. Overall,  There are high mountains in the west, southwest, south and southeast of Mexico City. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The US military only needs to deploy a small number of troops to block our attack! The command's plan is to send some troops to Cuautla  and Cuernavaca launched an attack to contain the main force of the US military. Then, with armored forces as the main force, they bypassed the mountains in southern and southeastern Mexico and directly attacked Puertra. After taking this place, they quickly advanced towards and blocked the  Live in the east and north of Mexico City, surround the main force of the US military here and find a way to encircle and annihilate them! Even if you can't wipe out all the US military here, you must find a way to eat their main force!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  In the entire plan, time is very important. The main force of the US military must be blocked in Mexico City before the US military feels that the crisis is coming.  This requires a strong assault force, and the arrival of the armored forces has greatly strengthened the assault force of the Chinese army. It is very simple to break through the traditional defenses built by the US military!

    Several commanders started talking, and they were also shocked by the plan proposed by Marshal Zhao Bowen. Originally, they thought that with the assistance of armored forces, they could easily break through the US military's defense line, and then continue to advance the front.  But I didn't expect that Marshal Zhao Bowen's appetite was so big that he actually wanted to swallow up the US military troops deployed in Mexico.  However, if this plan can really be completed, it will be of great benefit to the Chinese army.  By then, all US troops will be killed on the Mexican battlefield, and the Chinese army can gain a decisive advantage on the Mexican battlefield.  Moreover, even if the US military is frantically expanding its troops, the loss of hundreds of troops is enough to make the United States crippled. This will also be very beneficial to completely defeating the United States in the future.

    "Marshal, isn't this plan too huge? Our soldiersCompared with the US military, it does not have an advantage. Can it really swallow so many US troops in one go?  asked General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army.

    "It would be a bit difficult to get rid of all the U.S. troops. I have never expected that. However, it is still possible to surround the main force of the U.S. military in Mexico City and then kill it. For example, the total number of U.S. troops in Mexico City is  The strength will reach 50 armies, 2.5 million people, and we only need to eat 1.5 million of them! This will be very beneficial to our future battles!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

    Everyone nodded. Although these commanders were no longer young, their faces were still flushed with excitement at this moment.  Although during the battle in the Sierra Madre del Sur, the Chinese army also wiped out almost 150 US troops one after another.  But that was achieved only after two months of fighting and several battles.  This time, the troops gathered by China and the United States around Mexico City will exceed five million. It can be called the largest battle in history. If one hundred and fifty or more US troops can be eliminated in one fell swoop, this battle will  It will undoubtedly become a classic battle and be written into the history of world wars.  These generals will also be famous in history.  Every Chinese has this kind of plot that hopes to be remembered throughout the ages. For soldiers, if they can expand their territory and leave a heavy mark in the history books, no one can refuse such a thing.  Tempting!

    "Okay, that's it for today's meeting! Everyone, go back and prepare! Remember, before launching an attack, you must reserve as much supplies as possible, especially the fuel for the armored forces, which must be sufficient. In addition, pay attention to confidentiality,  Information about the armored forces must not be disclosed!" Marshal Zhao Bowen warned.  The armored force is the key to the success of this plan. Ensuring the supply of the armored force is the key to ensuring the victory of this battle.

    "Yes, Marshal!" After the generals saluted Marshal Zhao Bowen, they filed out of the headquarters.  They were very excited. Being able to participate in this battle was a huge credit to them.  Maybe when the war is over and they retire, they can be promoted to field marshals based on these merits.

    Afterwards, Marshal Zhao Bowen submitted the battle plan to the General Staff Headquarters. Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, reported to Emperor Wang Yuze and approved the battle plan submitted by Marshal Zhao Bowen.  Wang Yuze and Cai Yun also saw that if they win this battle, it will definitely have the final say.

    On April 13, General Pershing arrived in Mexico City and took over the highest command of the US military in Mexico.  What followed him there were the ten armies of the US Army.  General Pershing adjusted the deployment of US military forces on the defense line, focusing on strengthening the US military forces in Cuautela and Cuernavaca, increasing the total strength of the two cities from 5 corps to 22 corps.  In addition, Puebla's military strength has also been increased from 5 corps to 8 corps.  The remaining 20 corps are deployed south of Mexico City and can support Cuautla and Cuernavaca at any time.  General Pershing also believes that the main direction of the Chinese army's attack will be here.  After all, although the terrain here is unfavorable to the Chinese army on the offensive side, it is much better than the Sierra Madre del Sur.  This is also the closest route to Mexico City. As long as it breaks through the US military's defense line, the Chinese army can march straight into Mexico City.

    "General, can we withstand the Chinese attack?" General Davis asked with some confusion.

    General Pershing shook his head, and then said: "I never expected to withstand the attack of the Chinese army. Everything I did was to buy enough time for the United States. We held on to the defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur for two  If we can persist here for three months or even longer, our mission will be completed!"

    General Davis couldn't help but fell silent. Although General Pershing's words were a little depressing, that was the fact.  Compared with the U.S. Army, the gap between the U.S. Army and the Chinese Army is too big. It is very difficult to defeat or resist the attack of the Chinese Army.  Even if the US military has a huge strength advantage, it will be difficult to win.  The main goal of the U.S. Army is to buy time, buy enough time for the Navy, and buy enough time for our European allies.  As long as the navy can win, or its European allies can win, there is hope for the United States!
