Text Chapter 1018 The Great Siege

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the battle in Cuautla is still fierce, there is no doubt that the Chinese army will win the final victory.  Major General Haines, head of the German Military Observer Mission, did not pay attention to the war between China and the United States.  He returned to his residence, personally drafted a report of more than ten pages, and sent it back to the country.

    The theme of Major General Haynes¡¯s report is that the German Army must build its own armored force. Whether it is purchasing tanks or technology from China or developing it itself, it must possess such powerful weapons as soon as possible.  If Germany builds its own armored forces, the German Army can quickly defeat the British and French forces and win the European battlefield.  And, more importantly, Germany will also have the power to counterattack when facing the armored forces of the Chinese Army in the future.  As the head of the military observation mission sent by Germany, Major General Haynes gained a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of the Chinese Army.  Based on this, he came to a pessimistic conclusion. With the continuous emergence of various new weapons of the Chinese army, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is rapidly surpassing that of Germany.  If Germany cannot catch up, even if it defeats the Allies in the future, Germany will not be able to compete with China for world hegemony.  In this case, it would be meaningless for Germany to exhaust its national power to fight this world war.

    This report sent back to Germany by Major General Haynes attracted the attention of the top brass of the German Army.  General Falkenhayn, the Chief of the German General Staff, met with Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the two talked secretly all night in Kaiser Wilhelm II's study.  Although no one knew what they were talking about, the next day, the German government sent people to contact China, hoping to introduce tank production technology from China.  At the same time, the Equipment Procurement Department under the German General Staff also convened several major German military industry giants to conduct research on Chinese tanks, hoping to develop more advanced tanks belonging to Germany.

    It¡¯s just that this time China will no longer easily sell tank production technology to Germany.  Germany is very dissatisfied with China's perfunctory treatment of Germany.  But they had no choice but to negotiate with China while stepping up collection of relevant intelligence and developing tanks on their own.

    The direct negotiations between China and Germany did not have any impact on the Mexican battlefield.  In order to annihilate the main force of the US military, the Chinese army is still working hard.  In Cuautla, the main force of the Chinese Army's 8th Group Army, with the cooperation of the armored brigade, easily broke through the U.S. military's obstruction, detoured behind the U.S. military, and surrounded hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops in the city.  Although the Chinese army in Cuautla only has an 8th Group Army and ten infantry divisions with a total strength of less than 400,000, the US military still has more than 500,000 troops in Cuautla. How can 400,000 people surround 500,000 people?  It seems impossible.

    "However, when the morale of the US military is low, the Chinese army has easily accomplished this.

    After surrounding the U.S. military, Marshal Zhao Bowen summoned the Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa and the North Korean mercenary commander General Kim Soon-hwa. Marshal Zhao Bowen pointed out that in view of the current lack of strength of the Chinese army, they should invade the city of Kuautra and eliminate them.  The task of the US military in the city was handed over to Japanese and North Korean mercenaries.  General Oshima Yish¨­ and General Kim Soon-hwa have no doubts about this.  Both of them were also very shocked by the performance of the Chinese Army's armored forces.  At the same time, they also firmly believe that the Chinese army is powerful and invincible. They have no other way but to follow the orders of the Chinese army.

    Starting at 4 p.m., Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries gathered a large number of troops, entered the city of Cuautla, and started a fierce street battle with the US military.  The artillery unit of the Chinese Army's 8th Group Army and the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets provided fire cover for them.  Both Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries wanted to show themselves in front of the Chinese army, and they fought extremely hard.  This is causing great harm to the US military.  The U.S. military tried to break out of the encirclement several times and fled toward Mexico City, but they always ran into the defense line of the Chinese army, which was waiting for them. After the collision, their heads were bruised and bleeding, and they had to retreat.  Surrounded outside and fiercely attacked by Japanese and Korean mercenaries inside, the U.S. troops in Cuautla were annihilated. There was no doubt that they were annihilated.

    After surrounding the U.S. troops in Cuautla, the 8th Army's armored brigade quickly marched toward Cuernavaca.  At this time, the main force of the Chinese Army's 6th Group Army was confronting the US military in Cuernavaca with the cooperation of ten infantry divisions.  However, the main force of the Chinese army launched an attack on Cuautla and easily broke through the US military's defense line, encircling the US military behind Cuautla.  General Pershing immediately ordered the U.S. military in Cuernavaca to leave a small number of troops in defensive positions, and the main force immediately evacuated to Mexico City to ensure that the main force was not surrounded by the Chinese army.  However, General Pershing's order was issued too late. Another unit of the Chinese army was almost blocking the US military's retreat.

    Mexico¡¯s capital, Mexico City, the largest city in Central America, is now in chaos.  Lots of mexicanPeople are fleeing from the city one after another, and the city has become a paradise for thugs.  The ten US military armies stationed in Mexico City have completed their withdrawal, and now the ten US military armies stationed in southern Mexico have also begun to leave.  The U.S. troops retreating northward stretch along the road like a long dragon.  Because of the strength of the US military, the highway has been requisitioned by the US military. A large number of Mexicans can only march towards the north of Mexico in the wild fields on both sides of the road. The speed is much slower than that of the US military.  Although this made the Mexicans complain a lot, facing the guns of the US military, they could only bury their complaints deep in their hearts!

    "Davis, how long until we can complete the evacuation?" General Pershing asked.  He felt a little anxious. The U.S. troops in Cuautla had been surrounded by the Chinese, and these hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops had stopped coming out.  The US troops in Cuernavaca are retreating, and they don't know if they can escape the pursuit of the Chinese.  This battle still caused heavy losses for the United States.

    "General, it is estimated that all twenty armies around Mexico City can be evacuated by around 8 p.m. However, the troops retreating from Cuernavaca are likely to be intercepted by the Chinese. I suggest that if the retreat is then  If they are really cut off, they can climb over the mountains west of Mexico City and retreat on foot!" Admiral Davis said.  The mountains to the west of Mexico City have an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. You can imagine how difficult it is for large troops to retreat from these high mountains.  However, there is no other way, it is better than being captured by the Chinese army.

    General Pershing nodded. There is no doubt that the US military suffered a disastrous defeat again this time.  The number of troops lost is at least over one million, and may even increase further.

    Such heavy losses are enough to devastate the U.S. military.  However, the current US military has no solution.  If you don't retreat, you may lose more troops.  What General Pershing has to do is to reserve as many seeds as possible for the US military so that the US military will not lose the ability to fight the Chinese army.

    "General! The Chinese have appeared! They are ten kilometers south of Mexico City. At their speed, they will be able to reach Mexico City in about an hour!" A low-level officer rushed into the headquarters in panic and asked Pan  General Xing and General Davis reported.

    "What? The Chinese will come so fast?" General Pershing stood up from his chair with a sudden sound, shocked.

    "General, Mexico City is very dangerous now. We must retreat immediately," General Davis said.  If the Chinese appear in Mexico City, the US military's retreat will most likely be cut off, which is undoubtedly fatal to the retreating US military.

    "Order the 12th Army and the 13th Army to block the Chinese and buy time for the evacuation of each department!" General Pershing ordered.

    "Yes, General!" General Davis took the order.  However, if he encounters Chinese armored forces, he does not think that only two armies can withstand the Chinese attack.

    South of Mexico City, a Chinese army is marching rapidly. This army is entirely composed of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks.  This army consists of two light tank battalions and two mechanized infantry battalions from the 26th and 7th Group Armies of the Chinese Army, as well as an infantry regiment from the 7th Group Army, with a total strength of approximately 10,000 people.  They were ordered to rush to Mexico City as quickly as possible to intercept the fleeing US troops.  However, even though they were traveling at high speed, bad traffic still limited their speed.  At 4 p.m., they had not yet arrived in Mexico City.  In addition, the high-speed march caused serious damage to the troops' tanks and armored vehicles.  By the time we arrived ten kilometers away from Mexico City, one-third of the tanks and armored vehicles had broken down on the road.

    The person responsible for commanding this unit is Major General Shi Deyou, commander of the Armored Brigade of the 7th Group Army of the Chinese Army.  Although a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were damaged due to malfunctions, this did not affect the morale of the troops.  Everyone knows that tens of millions of U.S. troops are in Mexico City and south of Mexico City. As long as the U.S. military's retreat is blocked, these U.S. troops will be unable to fly.

    When the scouts reported that a large number of U.S. troops appeared ahead, Major General Shi Deyou did not let the armored troops in his hands fight the U.S. troops head-on. Instead, he chose to take a detour and use the powerful maneuverability of the armored troops to bypass the U.S. intercepting troops.  At 6:30 in the afternoon, Tepesi, a small town north of Mexico City, was captured, closing the door for the US military to flee north!
