    Two kilometers south of Hueyochingo, on the plains on both sides of the road from Puebla to Mexico City, black steel monsters are parked there. The pale moonlight shines on these steel monsters.  Leaving a faint shadow on the ground.

    These tanks belong to the reconnaissance battalion of the 2nd Group Army Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army. This reconnaissance battalion has a tank company equipped with 18 TP'Wildwolves and light tanks, and two mechanized infantry units equipped with 9 wheeled armored vehicles each.  company, and an artillery company with 4 infantry guns and 4 120mm heavy howitzers. Together with other troops, the entire reconnaissance battalion has a total of more than 1,000 people.  However, unlike other infantry units, this reconnaissance battalion is equipped with a large number of trucks, and all marches are by trucks, which is much faster than traditional infantry.

    After the main force of the 2nd Army arrived in Huehochingo, this reconnaissance battalion was dispatched to the south to guard. If it encountered the US military, it would immediately report to the main force and at the same time be able to intercept the US military for a period of time.

    "Battal Commander, the Americans are here! There is an endless queue, at least tens of thousands of people!" A young soldier quickly ran down a hill next to the road and reported to Major Li Yuxian, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.  .

    "Well done! Get the artillery ready! Fire immediately after my order is given! All tanks and armored vehicles are also ready. After the artillery bombardment begins, charge to the enemy immediately!" Major Li Yuxian ordered.  At this moment, he was a little excited. Although there were tens of thousands of American troops arriving, his reconnaissance battalion only had a few thousand people in total.  However, he was not afraid at all, but rather excited.  The main task of the reconnaissance troops in peacetime is to detect the enemy's situation, and they rarely have the opportunity to participate in large-scale operations.  And this time, it was their chance.  Although the number of U.S. troops is large, Major Li Yuxian believes that using the cover of night to suddenly attack the U.S. troops, with the power of tanks and armored vehicles, it is very possible to defeat the U.S. troops!

    "Yes, battalion commander!" The signal soldier immediately went down to deliver the order.  The entire team began to feel a sense of depression before the war.

    In the distance, a group of U.S. troops was marching north. At the head were hundreds of cavalry. Behind the cavalry were trucks carrying a large amount of combat supplies and towing artillery.  On both sides were infantrymen carrying rifles.  These troops are the 75th Infantry Division of the US Army.  They were ordered to lead the advance north from Puebla, serving as command to clear the way for the greater part.  Most of the soldiers looked a little tired.  Originally, this time should have been time for rest, but now they had to rush.  However, no one complained. Although it was harder, it was much better than being caught up by the Chinese and killing them all.

    The 75th Infantry Division is the direct unit of Lieutenant General Richard. It has participated in the battle of the Southern Sierra Madre Defense Line before and suffered relatively minor losses.  After the arrival of reinforcements from the United States, the 75th Infantry Division also took the lead in receiving reinforcements and strengthened its air defense equipment.  Lieutenant General Richard has high hopes for the divisions under his 19th Army.  This time, evacuating Puebla before the Chinese came after them was also to preserve their strength to the greatest extent.  Lieutenant General Richard fully thought that he could escape before the Chinese army arrived. He never expected that the Chinese army did not devote all its strength to Atlixco and had already let the main force of the US military slip away.

    "How long will it take to get to Huehochingo?" asked a US brigadier general on a war horse. He was Brigadier General Wayne, the commander of the US 75th Infantry Division.  He worked as a cowboy when he was young and didn't like riding in cars. Instead, he felt more comfortable riding a horse.

    "General, we are only three kilometers away from Huehochingo now. However, the soldiers are very tired. Can we take a rest in Hueyochingo!" said Colonel Allen, chief of staff of the 75th Infantry Division.

    Brigadier General Wayne hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! We can rest for half an hour after arriving in Huejochingo!" Coming all the way from Puebla really made everyone very excited.  exhausted.

    Brigadier General Wayne¡¯s agreement to rest for a while after arriving in Huehochingo made the US soldiers cheer.  Officers can travel by car or at least, but ordinary soldiers can only travel on two legs.  Being able to take a break is undoubtedly what everyone is looking forward to.  However, they didn't know that he would never reach Wehochingo again.

    At 9:15 pm on April 26, the reconnaissance battalion of the Chinese Army¡¯s 2nd Group Army Armored Brigade encountered the U.S. 75th Infantry Division, and a fierce exchange of fire began, kicking off the Battle of Puebla.

    "Fire!" When the leading troops of the US military came within 800 meters of them, Major Li Yuxian gave the order to fire.  The artillery battery deployed on the hill next to the road began to fire artillery shells at the U.S. military at the maximum rate of fire.  At the same time, tanks and armored vehicles also started up, making a rumbling sound.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom""The artillery shell exploded in the middle of the U.S. military's queue, with fire splashing and shrapnel flying. A truck filled with artillery shells was hit, triggering an explosion. An orange-red fireball looked so bright under the night sky.  brilliant.

    The US military was completely confused by this sudden attack. The night provided a good cover for the Chinese army. The US military did not expect that the Chinese army would ambush here.  Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Brigadier General Wayne did not expect it. He subconsciously thought that the Chinese army might be rushing from Atrizco to Puebla, but he did not expect that the Chinese army had already appeared here.

    "Why are the Chinese here? Has the road to Mexico City been cut off?" Brigadier General Wayne thought with a pale face.

    "Enemy attack! Hidden! Prepare to fight back!" After being suddenly attacked, the US military seemed a little panicked, but the officers played a great role at this time. They ordered the troops to disperse and organized a counterattack.

    A large number of U.S. soldiers ran towards the flat land on both sides of the road, looking for shelter.  Machine gunners and mortars also began to set up, preparing to return fire.  The US artillery also took action. Braving the Chinese army's artillery fire, they unhooked the cannon from the back of the truck and prepared to launch artillery attacks on the Chinese army.  The Chinese army's artillery fired on the hill, and the muzzle of the artillery fire was very clear even at night.

    "The scale of the Chinese is not large! Colonel Allen, order the 1st Regiment to launch an attack and break through the enemy's position!" Brigadier General Wayne ordered.  The Chinese army's shelling was not violent. From this, he could see that the army that appeared in front of the 75th Infantry Division was just a small force.  Brigadier General Wayne believed that in order to block the US military's retreat, the Chinese sent such a small force to travel a long distance and arrived at Huehochingo before the US military.  As long as the Chinese interception is broken, the road to Mexico City can be opened.  This is also the mission of the US 75th Infantry Division.

    When the artillery bombarded the US military, other units of the Chinese Army's reconnaissance battalion were not idle either.

    Major Li Yuxian knew that his troops were weak. If he waited for the US military to react and be prepared, it would not be so easy for him to defeat the US military.

    Therefore, when the artillery had just started shelling, Major Li Yuxian issued the order to attack!

    18 TP'Wildwolves, light tanks and 18 armored vehicles began to drive towards the US military position.  Although it was night, there was flat ground nearby, suitable for armored troops to fight.  At the same time, the fire that erupted when the US military counterattacked also gave them guidance.

    18 TP'Wildwolves, light tanks rushed at the front, and the 37mm tank guns on them began to fire, bombarding the gathered U.S. troops with high-explosive shells.  Although the 37mm tank gun is not very powerful, it is still a weapon that can harvest lives when dealing with unprotected infantry.

    The US military, which was organizing a defense line, also discovered tanks of the Chinese army.  The pitch-black tanks, illuminated by the pale moonlight, looked like dragons crawling out of hell.  Especially the tank guns and machine guns that kept firing were like the flames they were spitting out at the evil dragon.

    "Oh God! What is this? The hell dragon summoned by the Chinese?" This was the first time that the US military deployed in Puebla saw the tanks of the Chinese armored forces, and it was still at night because the light was too dark.  Can't see clearly.  They quickly regarded these tanks and armored vehicles as the hell dragons in the story.

    With the sound of rumbling motors and the sound of squeaking tracks crushing the ground, the tank drove towards the US military position.  The panicked American troops fled in all directions, and few had the courage to confront the Chinese army's tanks.

    "General! The Chinese's new weapons. The soldiers have become timid and do not dare to fight. What should we do now?" Colonel Allen asked in horror.  They had just encountered a surprise attack, and faced such a blow, it was already difficult for the troops to stabilize.

    "Asshole! There are not many Chinese. Order all ministries to stabilize the defense line! Stop the Chinese!" Brigadier General Wayne roared angrily.  Although it was night, I didn¡¯t know how many people there were in the Chinese army.  But based on his experience, this army must be just a small force.  His 75th Infantry Division has more than 12,000 people. Can it still be unable to defeat a small Chinese force?

    ??Actually, this is indeed the case.  How does a flesh-and-blood body fight against a steel monster?  The hastily formed defense line by the U.S. military was easily run over by Chinese tanks. The heavy machine guns and tank guns on the tanks slaughtered these U.S. troops wantonly.  Behind the tanks, armored vehicles followed.  The soldiers inside fired violently at the U.S. military through the shooting holes on both sides of the armored vehicle, causing huge casualties to the U.S. military!
