    "General, the 147th Division was surrounded by the Chinese and suffered heavy losses. Owen will ask for support!" A staff officer hurriedly rushed into the headquarters and reported to Major General Donald.

    "Damn it! I don't have a reserve team anymore? How can I support him?" Major General Donald cursed.  Although the US 147th Infantry Division is no more than 500 meters away from Major General Donald's headquarters.  However, the U.S. military suffered heavy losses on all fronts, and all of Major General Donald's troops were dispatched.  Faced with the request for help from Brigadier General Owen, commander of the 147th Infantry Division, he was really helpless.  At the same time, this also means that the Chinese army is very close to his headquarters. After the Chinese army eats the 147th Infantry Division, it will be able to easily launch an attack on the block where his headquarters is located!

    "General, what should we do now? Atlisco has been surrounded by the Chinese. Our army has suffered heavy losses, and the remaining army does not have much combat effectiveness!" The staff officer looked at Major General Donald with eyes.  Full of prayers and longing for life.  There is no doubt that no one wants to die in a war. Even if they had extremely lofty ideals when they joined the army, everything can be abandoned in the face of life.

    Major General Donald also hesitated. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army completely exceeded his imagination.  It is completely unimaginable that three armies, with a strength of 150,000, would be annihilated by the Chinese in just half a day.  There are only two ways in front of Major General Donald, either to continue fighting, and in the end all American troops will be killed by the Chinese.  Either surrender now and save everyone's lives.  For them, they have tried their best. It is not that they are greedy for life and fear of death, but that the Chinese army is too powerful!

    At this moment, the fierce gunfire suddenly stopped.  This surprised Major General Donald.

    "Could it be that reinforcements are coming? Or is there something wrong with the Chinese? So the attack was stopped!" Major General Donald guessed secretly.  If this is really the case, then they still have a chance to escape Atlisco.

    "Go and see what happened? Why did the Chinese stop attacking!" Major General Donald ordered.

    The staff officer quickly left the headquarters and went out to inquire for information.  However, a few minutes later, he returned to the headquarters with an expression of joy on his face.

    "What's going on? Are our reinforcements coming?" Major General Donald asked quickly.  If possible, he certainly wouldn't want to die for his country.  It would be best if reinforcements could come to meet them and allow them to break out of Atlisco.

    However, he seemed to have forgotten that in the face of the powerful Chinese army, Lieutenant General Richard, the commander of Puebla, would never have the courage to send troops to meet them.

    "General, the Chinese sent envoys to negotiate with us and demand that we surrender to them immediately. They only gave us twenty minutes. If we don't respond within twenty minutes, they will attack again and not  Will accept our surrender again!" After the staff officer finished speaking, he looked at Major General Donald, hoping to get a positive result from Major General Donald.

    When Major General Donald heard what was going on, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.  However, it was somewhat impossible for him to order the surrender to the Chinese army.  His troops had only been in the Mexican battlefield for less than a month, and they were about to surrender to the Chinese. This was really embarrassing for him.  Of course, if there was really no other way, he had no choice but to save everyone's lives.

    ¡°Where is the Chinese envoy?¡± Major General Donald asked.  If surrender is necessary, he hopes to negotiate terms with the Chinese side and try his best to obtain more conditions for the US military.

    "The Chinese envoy left after leaving a message. General, the Chinese only gave us twenty minutes. Now eight minutes have passed and we have twelve minutes left!" the staff officer urged anxiously.  Obviously they didn't want to miss this opportunity.  Although it is somewhat shameful to surrender to the Chinese.  But in order to survive, everyone doesn¡¯t care so much.  No matter what, saving your life first is the most important thing!

    Major General Donald opened his mouth, wanting to reprimand the staff officer, but in the end nothing came out.  He looked around the entire command post. The other officers had also stopped what they were doing and looked at Major General Donald pitifully.  In their eyes, Major General Donald saw the desire to survive.  In their opinion, the US military has completely failed in this battle. They have tried their best and completed their mission.  Now, they should save their lives and wait until the war is over before starting a new life.

    "Give the troops on the front line an order to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese!" Major General Donald seemed to have exhausted all his strength before saying just a few words.  Just?, after Major General Donald gave the order, the officers in the headquarters cheered happily, which shocked Major General Donald deeply!

    With ten minutes left before the final reply from China, the US military had already ordered its surrender.  The American officers and soldiers fighting on the front line had no objection to this order.  Even after the order was given, they rushed to put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender to the Chinese army.  They now have no courage to continue fighting the Chinese army.  The previous attack by the Chinese army's armored forces had completely frightened them.

    Half an hour later, Major General Donald met with the commander of the Chinese army, General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Army.  Major General Donald handed his gun to General Xie Dingkun, which represented the formal surrender of the U.S. military in Atlixco to the Chinese army.

    General Xie Dingkun accepted the surrender of Major General Donald and said that these American officers and soldiers will receive the treatment they deserve.  Of course, the premise is that these US officers and soldiers must cooperate.  If they surrender and still want to cause trouble to the Chinese army, the Chinese army will not be lenient.

    More than 70,000 U.S. troops surrendered, some of whom were wounded.  The faces of these surrendered American soldiers were pale and somewhat depressed, but mostly they were filled with joy after the disaster.

    After the U.S. military surrendered, the Chinese army immediately began cleaning the battlefield. Those U.S. soldiers who surrendered were also asked to do the work of moving and burying corpses.  At the same time, the Chinese army also began post-war rest and recuperation and counted battle losses.  In addition, the damaged tanks have also begun to be repaired. Every tank is an important weapon. If it can be repaired, none of them will be abandoned.  At the same time, the remaining tanks must also begin immediate maintenance to ensure that these tanks can participate in the next battle in the best condition.

    At 6:30 pm, General Xie Dingkun received the battle damage report.  In the battle of Atlixco, although the Chinese army wiped out 150,000 enemies, its own losses were less than 3,000.  However, the losses of tanks were quite high, which made General Xie Dingkun feel a little distressed.  When they invaded the city of Atlixco, the three armored brigades lost a total of more than 20 tanks, most of which were T4 'Wild Wolf' light tanks.  During the battle in Atlixco City, only TB

    ¡®Cheetah, medium tanks join the battle.  During the battle, a total of more than 30 tanks were lost.  Fortunately, very few of these tanks were destroyed. Most of them malfunctioned or had their tracks blown off, and could still be used after repairs.  However, this also shows that in this battle, the Chinese army's armored forces lost almost a battalion of tanks.  In Puebla behind, there are more US troops, and the losses will probably be greater.  In addition, after capturing Puebla, the Chinese army had to take a 120-kilometer detour to block the retreat of the US military in Mexico City.  Along the way, there will definitely be many tanks and armored vehicles suffering non-combat losses.

    General Xie Dingkun ordered the repairmen to repair these tanks as much as possible, and then the baggage troops replenished supplies and ammunition for the various ministries, and at the same time replenished the tanks, armored vehicles and trucks with fuel.

    It is now more than an hour before dark, and it is impossible to rush to Puebla.  In addition, after a day of fierce fighting, most of the soldiers were very tired.  Therefore, General Xie Dingkun ordered the 2nd Army and part of the 7th Army, as well as the medium tank battalions and mechanized infantry battalions of the three armored brigades to stay and rest, and then rush to Puebla early tomorrow morning.  As for the task of intercepting Puebla, it was handed over to a part of the 7th Army led by General Du Qizheng, the commander of the 7th Army, another 20 infantry divisions and the light tank battalions of three armored brigades.  If no accidents occur, this force is fully capable of intercepting the five US military armies in Puebla.

    When Major General Donald ordered the surrender again, he also sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Richard stationed in Puebla, telling Lieutenant General Richard of his decision to lead his army to surrender.  At the same time, in the telegram, he also described the strength of the Chinese army and suggested that Lieutenant General Richard lead his army to retreat and preserve its strength!

    After Lieutenant General Richard received a telegram from Major General Donald and learned that the main force of the Chinese army was attacking Atlisco, he was also shocked. On the one hand, he reported the situation to General Pershing and asked General Pershing for help.  On the other hand, Puebla's five armies were ordered to enter the position to prepare for the Chinese attack.

    However, as the U.S. forces at Atlixco were quickly defeated, Lieutenant General Richard became increasingly uneasy after learning about Atlixco's battle situation.  However, before receiving a reply from General Pershing, he had no authority to order a retreat and abandon the strategic location of Puebla!
