    In the headquarters of the U.S. military in San Luis Potosi, the clicking sound of the telegraph machine and the ringing of the telephone were intertwined, making the entire headquarters seem as noisy as a vegetable market. After the Chinese army launched an attack, the U.S. military  Entering a state of combat, news from the front line continued to reach the headquarters, and was finally summarized in front of the commander, General Davis.

    Although the headquarters was very noisy, General Davis seemed to have become accustomed to this atmosphere. He stood in front of the wall of the war room, and hanging on the wall was a large map of northern Mexico.  Every moment, a staff officer would mark the latest developments on the battlefield on the map.  The red arrow representing the Chinese army is rapidly advancing northward.  The two arrows were like the open mouth of a ferocious beast, trying to swallow the American troops in one gulp.

    "General, the Chinese are advancing too fast. The troops we deployed on the front line cannot delay them at all. They often collapse at the first touch. They have already retreated before the Chinese even come to attack!" Chief of Staff Cole  complained the Lieutenant General.  This was his first time fighting against the Chinese army. The Chinese army's rapid attack greatly surprised him.  At the same time, the rapid collapse of the US military also made him very dissatisfied.

    "Chief of Staff, this is understandable. The Chinese army's armored forces assault very quickly. Without solid defenses and a large number of anti-tank weapons, infantry alone cannot stop their advance!" Davis  The admiral said calmly.  As early as the Battle of the Central Line of Defense in Mexico, he had already seen the terrifying assault speed of the Chinese army. If General Pershing had not reacted in time and asked the US troops around Mexico City to retreat first, maybe all the US troops would have been killed at that time.  was surrounded by Chinese troops.

    "The general has anticipated this, so he only deployed a few divisions of troops on the front line?" Lieutenant General Cole asked.

    "Yes, since we are destined to be unable to resist the Chinese, there is no need for us to waste our troops. Our troops are not large to begin with, only less than 40% of the Chinese. Even if we have a military advantage  , cannot defeat the Chinese. Not to mention the current situation. Our main task is to delay time and buy enough time for General Pershing." Admiral Davis said.  He is very clear about his mission.  The U.S. Army no longer has much confidence in defeating the Chinese army.  Now they just hope to keep the Chinese army out of their homeland.  It would be best to enter a stalemate stage like the European war.  Then the navy and the Chinese navy will have a decisive battle. When the navy defeats the Chinese navy, it will be time for the US military to counterattack.  If the Chinese army wants to launch an attack on the United States across the Pacific, its long logistics supply line needs to rely on the protection of the navy.  Once the U.S. Navy wins, it will be able to easily cut off the Chinese army's logistics supply line.  Although the Chinese army is powerful, as long as it loses its logistics, it will only be at the mercy of the US Army.

    ??Although, there has been a huge conflict between the U.S. Army and Navy over competition for military spending.  But in the current situation they have to cooperate.  Otherwise, once the U.S. army and navy are defeated by China, the United States will never have a chance again.

    In U.S. President Theodore.  Under Roosevelt's coordination, the U.S. Army and Navy were finally united. This can be seen from the U.S. West Coast Fleet's previous attacks on the Chinese army's logistics supply lines regardless of casualties.  The main task of the U.S. Army now is to prevent Chinese troops from crossing the border.  The bet that determines victory or defeat is placed on the Navy.  The Rio Grande Defense Line has become the last barrier for the US military, and the US Navy has become the last hope for the United States.  Originally, the United States expected Britain, France, and Russia to quickly defeat the Allies and then gather the strength of the Allies to deal with China, but now, it seems impossible.  The United States was shocked by the disastrous defeat of the combined British and French naval fleets in the Mediterranean.

    On the one hand, the navy's fighter planes are equipped with anti-aircraft firepower, and on the other hand, the development of bombers is also increased.  After the disastrous defeat of the British and French naval fleets, this undoubtedly strengthened the Allies' determination to persist in the fight. With China providing blood transfusions to the Allies through the Baghdad Railway and the eastern Mediterranean route, it is no longer possible for Britain, France, and Russia to defeat the Allies as soon as possible.  Therefore, the United States now only relies on itself.  Fortunately, the U.S. Pennsylvania-class battleships performed very well in the North Sea Battle, which gave the U.S. Navy great confidence in defeating the Chinese Navy.  After all, the number of battleships in the Chinese Navy is not as large as that of the United States.  The Chinese Navy's most powerful Tang-class battleships only have four, while the U.S. Navy has six Pennsylvania-class battleships.  And the subsequent battleships are also being built overtime. As long as the battle can be delayed until the end of next year, the U.S. Navy will gain a decisive advantage.  This is also where America¡¯s confidence lies.  !

    "General, the country has rejected the request to send aviation troops to us immediately. Nearly two hundred fighter planes and hundreds ofThe loss of pilots greatly dissatisfied the War Department and the Army Staff.  Lieutenant General Cole said. After the airport near San Luis Potosi was bombed by the Chinese Air Force and all US military fighter planes were lost, Lieutenant General Cole immediately requested domestic support. However, the United States rejected their request.

    "Hmph! This is to be expected! Those guys have been frightened by the Chinese. Our 'Hurricane' fighter jets were originally inferior to the Chinese FB' Haidongqing fighter jets, and now they are suddenly losing money.  They have lost so much, especially the loss of hundreds of pilots. It is even more unacceptable to them. I think we can no longer get support from the aviation force," said General Davis.  Although the United States has strong industrial strength and lost fighter jets can be quickly replenished, those pilots are not so easy to replenish.  The performance of the Chinese Air Force has made senior officials of the U.S. government and military fearful. They no longer want to invest their precious aviation forces in the Mexican battlefield.  This means that General Davis and the troops under his command can only rely on air defense forces to deal with the Chinese Air Force.  Even though the US air defense force is equipped with many new air defense weapons, it is simply impossible to resist the attack of the Chinese Air Force with such passive defense, and at the same time, it may pay a huge price!

    "General, the Chinese have stopped attacking. Now they are only ten kilometers away from our defense line!" At this time, a staff officer walked into the war room and reported to General Davis and Lieutenant General Cole.

    "Has it stopped? It seems that the Chinese will not launch a large-scale attack today! The real test will be tomorrow!" Admiral Davis said.  The strong defense line built south of San Luis Potosi has become General Davis's last resort. This is also his last resort to resist the armored forces of the Chinese Army.  If this line of defense cannot withstand the Chinese Army's armored forces, then there is nothing he can do.

    "General, do you think we can withstand the Chinese army's attack?" Lieutenant General Cole asked.  Although, technical experts sent by the Army Staff claim that several anti-tank weapons they have developed can effectively deal with Chinese armored forces.  However, this has not been truly tested on the battlefield. It is difficult to say whether it is effective, or how effective it is.

    "Chief of Staff, we have no other choice now but to believe that our anti-tank weapons can work!" General Davis said.  He hopes that this time it will succeed. If it succeeds, then the US military will not only be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese army, but also find a favorable tactic to deal with the Chinese army's armored forces.  This is extremely important for the US military, which has suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Chinese Army's armored forces.  Once these anti-tank weapons are proven effective, the United States will be able to rely on its strong industrial strength to quickly field these weapons.  The northern Rio Grande defense line will also be impregnable as a result.

    "Come on! You yellow-skinned monkeys, we are ready, just waiting for you to hit your head and bleed!" Admiral Davis said through gritted teeth.

    The armored units of the Chinese Army¡¯s Second Group Army stopped advancing 25 kilometers away from San Luis Potosi and only ten kilometers away from the US military¡¯s defense line.  The 14th Infantry Division of the 2nd Army and ten divisions of Japanese mercenaries began to build a defensive line.  The follow-up main force of the 2nd Army and other units of Japanese mercenaries are also arriving one after another.  Today's assault is just a small test, tomorrow will be the real bloody battle.  The defense line that will be attacked tomorrow is a defense line that the US military has carefully constructed for several months.  Moreover, the U.S. military will definitely not be defeated at the first touch like it is today.

    "How is the status of the troops?" At 7 o'clock in the evening, General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Group Army, rushed to the front line and rushed to the armored brigade camp as soon as possible to inquire about the situation of the armored brigade.  The armored brigade is the main force of the attack!

    "Commander, the situation of the troops is not bad. During today's assault, only a dozen tanks and armored vehicles broke down. Moreover, the repairmen have repaired the faults and can continue fighting tomorrow!" said Major General Fan Zhihua, commander of the Armored Brigade of the 2nd Group Army.  He is very satisfied with the newly installed tanks.  During the Battle of the Central Mexican Defense Line, the tanks and armored vehicles of each armored brigade suffered heavy losses, many of which were scrapped during the march.  After several months of rest, the armored brigades have been fully replenished again!
