    "Marshal, do you know the performance of American anti-tank weapons?" Gen. Gao Chang, commander of the Nao Army, asked in Episode 6.  Now the armored forces have become the most powerful fist of each group army. If the armored forces are restrained, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army will definitely be greatly affected.  Trench warfare in Europe has caused the German army and the British and French forces to enter a stalemate on the western front of Europe. Every attack will cost huge casualties. They do not want the war in North America to become like this.

    "There is no way to know yet. However, we will know when the attack is launched the day after tomorrow. However, I hope that even if the armored forces cannot exert their strongest combat effectiveness, our attack will not be greatly affected. In  Without armored troops, we are still invincible!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  Although there are no armored troops, greater casualties will be incurred when breaking through the US military's defense lines.  However, this does not mean that without armored forces, the Chinese army will not fight.

    "Yes, Marshal!" everyone shouted back.  However, everyone's original relaxed mood has disappeared.  It was originally thought that this time it would be easy to break through the US military's defense line and push the front into the United States.  But now it seems that the Americans are not completely unprepared!

    "Next, let me talk about the battle plan this time. The US military's defense line is centered on San Luis Potosi, with the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Panuco River to the east, and the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Santiago River to the west. The terrain here is different.  It is suitable for launching large-scale operations, not to mention that we have armored forces and a large amount of heavy equipment. Therefore, the target of our attack is the area around the Hexi of the US military's defense line and the San Luis Potosi level. According to the intelligence we have received, the US military  More than 700,000 troops have been deployed in and around San Luis Potosi, equipped with a large number of trenches, anti-tank trenches, fixed firepower points, etc. In addition, the U.S. military has also built a large number of airports in the northwest of San Luis Poto.  jointly developed by the British and French

    ¡®Hurricane, the [type fighter] has begun mass production and service.  Therefore, when the Air Force conducts bombing, it must equip fighter jets to compete with the Americans for air supremacy.  The attack on San Luis Potosi was completed by the 2nd Army and Japanese mercenaries.  In addition, the 7th Army and North Korean mercenaries set out from Leon to attack Aguascalientes.  The Sixth Army and the 131st Infantry Division were responsible for protecting the transportation line from Puerto Vallarta to the front line.  Now our logistics distribution center has been moved to Puerto Vallarta, and there are still many US troops in the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains to the north.  Once the fighting begins, they will definitely attack Puerto Vallarta or our transportation lines.  It is particularly important to protect this transportation line and ensure the supply of materials to the front line. I don't want a situation like the Central Battle to happen again.  As for the 8th Army and the remaining troops, they serve as reserves.  "Marshal Zhao Bowen said. The US military deployed only a million people on the entire defense line, and there were only 700,000 people near San Luis Potosi where the main attack was. Arrange two armies for the main attack, and then let 700,000 mercenaries  Cooperation is completely enough. In this battle, we must also find out how powerful the US anti-tank weapons are. This will have a great impact on the use and tactics of armored forces in the future.

    "Yes, Marshal!" everyone replied.  Originally, General Gao Chang, the commander of the 6th Army, felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard that the 6th Army was assigned the responsibility of protecting logistics transportation lines.  But Marshal Zhao Bowen's stern expression and words forced him to pay attention.  During the battle in central Mexico a few months ago, the Chinese army originally planned to attack north immediately after breaking through the U.S. military's defense lines and rush to the border between the United States and Mexico in one fell swoop.  However, due to logistical problems, Marshal Zhao Bowen had to change the battle plan, wasting several months.  Logistics support in this battle is equally important, and there is no room for sloppiness.

    "So, that's it! The attack started at 8 a.m. on August 23.

    When the time comes, the artillery and air force will first shell and bomb the US military's defense lines.  The army then attacked again.  When attacking, especially the little American anti-tank weapons!  Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

    After the meeting, the chief officers of each group army returned to their respective headquarters and began to make adjustments according to the orders of Marshal Zhao Bowen.  The armored forces are still the protagonist of this attack, but all officers and soldiers of the armored forces are required to be especially careful with American anti-tank weapons after the attack begins.

    Originally, the Chinese army¡¯s combat material center on the Mexican battlefield was Acapulco.  As the war progressed northward, Acapulco was no longer suitable as a distribution center for combat supplies.  The Chinese army needs to choose a new seaport in the northern part of the west coast of Mexico.  And Puerto Vallarta has become the best choice.  After the attacks by the light warships and submarines of the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet were basically resolved, China's upper transportation lines were back in full operation.Various combat materials are continuously transported to Puerto Vallarta, and from here they are transported to the front line by trucks to ensure the front line offensive.

    As time goes by, the atmosphere on the Mexican plateau becomes more and more tense. Almost everyone can feel that the battle will start again.  Perhaps after dawn tomorrow morning, millions of troops from both sides will fight fiercely on the Mexican plateau.

    This time, the commander of the US military in northern Mexico was General Davis. Although the US military suffered a disastrous defeat on the central Mexican defense line, the main responsibility for the failure was attributed to the Chinese.  Because of the cunning of the Chinese and the introduction of new weapons on the battlefield that the US military had never seen before, the US military's defense line collapsed.  Therefore, John.  Generals Pershing and Davis were not punished, but were reprimanded by the War Department.  General Davis now became the commander of U.S. forces in northern Mexico, while General Pershing was preparing the Rio Grande Line.  Everyone knows that the Rio Grande defense line is the focus, and the defense line that General Davis is responsible for is just to buy as much time as possible for the Rio Grande defense line.  However, Admiral Davis himself did not know how long he could persist.  He was greatly shocked by the powerful offensive power displayed by the Chinese army in the battle of central Mexico.

    San Luis Potosi, an important city in northern Mexico, has become an important battleground between the two sides in several battles.  Ever since China overthrew the D¨ªaz government in Mexico, China and the United States have been engaged in fierce fighting in San Luis Potosi.  After that, the US military launched a massive attack on the Chinese army in Mexico, and this became the main battlefield.  Now, the Chinese army has regained the initiative on the battlefield in Mexico and will also break through the US military's defense line by capturing San Luis Potosi.

    "General, intelligence coming from the country predicts that the Chinese will launch an attack on us within two to three days! The Department of War and the Army Staff require us to prepare for battle!" a lieutenant general said to General Davis.  It was Lieutenant General Cody, the deputy of General Davis, who is now the chief of staff of the US Army in the Mexican battlefield.  However, the U.S. military in Mexico now only has a million people on the line of defense they have deployed.

    "I understand, General Cole. Immediately put the troops on the highest alert, and all officers and soldiers are on combat readiness. Especially the anti-tank troops need special attention. When we were on the defense line in central Mexico, we were easily defeated by the Chinese armored troops.  Defeated. This time, we need to pay special attention to guarding against the Chinese armored forces!" General Davis said.  Now that he remembered that the Chinese army had broken through the defense line that the US military had painstakingly built in just two days, he still felt a little frightened.  Even though the US military is now equipped with some anti-tank weapons, these weapons have not been tested on the battlefield, and he is not sure how effective they can be.

    "Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Cole nodded, turned and left the headquarters.  After General Davis's order was issued, the US military along the entire defense line took action and began to make final preparations before the war.

    General Davis stood in front of the wall of his office. There was a large map of Mexico hanging on the wall. The United States is a few hundred kilometers north of San Luis Potosi.  General Davis did not want to see the war raging into the United States.  However, he knew that from now on, this possibility was very slim.  The defense line he is responsible for cannot withstand the attack of the Chinese army at all. The key depends on the Rio Grande defense line responsible for General Pershing.  In addition, he also has some expectations for the anti-tank weapons that the US military has begun to equip. He hopes that these weapons will perform well and allow the Chinese armored forces to smash their heads against the US military's defense lines.

    After the Chinese army used armored forces, the U.S. military immediately began research on countermeasures weapons.  Now, several anti-tank weapons have been developed, including PZ1 anti-tank gun, PT1 anti-tank gun, anti-tank mines, etc.  In addition, digging anti-tank trenches up to three meters wide in front of the trenches has become the most advantageous tactic for the US military. The tanks equipped by the Chinese army's armored forces cannot cross trenches up to three meters wide.

    The PZ1 anti-tank gun has a caliber of 127 mm. The bullet has a muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second and can penetrate a 5 mm steel plate within 200 meters. This can already pose a serious threat to the ZH armored vehicles equipped by the Chinese armored forces.

    The PK1 tank gun has a caliber of 37 mm and a muzzle velocity of 700 meters per second. It can penetrate 50 mm steel plates within 100 meters and 30 mm steel plates within 200 meters. It is very effective for the two tanks equipped by the Chinese armored forces.  The lethality!
