    The U.S. anti-tank force severely damaged the Chinese Army's armored force, and this news was immediately sent to the United States.  When U.S. Army Chief of Staff Leonard.  After receiving the telegram, Admiral Wood immediately reported the news to Secretary of War Elihu.  Root made a report.  In this regard, Elihu.  Root was also very happy and immediately took Leonard with him.  Admiral Wood went to the White House to report to Theodore.  President Roosevelt made a report.

    "Your Excellency, the anti-tank weapons we have developed are very effective. During the attack launched by the Chinese armored forces this morning, our anti-tank forces destroyed hundreds of Chinese tanks and armored vehicles. Actual combat has proven that we  Anti-tank guns can easily destroy Chinese light tanks and armored vehicles. If they hit the side or back of Chinese medium tanks, they can also be destroyed. Therefore, it can be concluded that our anti-tank weapons can already  The Chinese armored forces have been restrained!" Elihu.  Secretary Root said.

    "Haha, this is really great, finally there is good news!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt smiled happily.  The successive failures of the US military made him very passive.  Even Woodrow.  The Democrats led by Wilson did not take offense because of the failure of the US military, but the pressure from all walks of life has been difficult for him to bear.  The powerful assault capabilities of the Chinese Army's armored forces have always frightened the U.S. Army.  They are afraid that their defense lines will break through again and again than the Chinese army, and then invade the United States.  If the U.S. military cannot withstand the Chinese Army's attack, the United States may lose this war by then.  Now there is finally good news. The US military's anti-tank weapons have proven to be a very effective weapon against the Chinese Army's armored forces.

    "Your Excellency, I have ordered the arsenal to speed up the production of these anti-tank weapons and send them to the front line. And we will make improvements to address the shortcomings of the current anti-tank weapons. I believe that it will not be long before we have medium-sized weapons that can penetrate the Chinese frontally.  Anti-tank guns for tanks. By then, we will no longer have to worry about the Chinese armored forces!" Elihu.  Secretary Root said.

    "So, Mr. Root, can we hold on to Mexico's defense line?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt suddenly asked.  If the battlefield can be controlled within Mexico rather than in the United States, this will be of great benefit to the US government.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "Well, General Wood, what does the Army Staff think of this?" Elihu.  Root asked quickly.

    "Your Excellency, it is very difficult, or even impossible, to hold on to Mexico's defense line!" Leonard.  Admiral Wood said.  As the chief of staff of the U.S. Army, he was more aware of the situation on the front lines.  Although the US military on the front line relied on anti-tank troops to repulse the Chinese Army's attack.  But if you want to defend the line of defense out of the blue because of this, it is simply impossible.

    "Why? We can now restrain the Chinese armored forces. Can't we still resist the Chinese army's attack?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt asked.  He wasn't angry, it was just an idea that came to him.  It would be great if it could succeed.  But he will not embarrass the Army because of this.

    "Your Excellency, we only have one million people on the Mexican front. The Chinese have more than two million. If we include those mercenaries, our strength is 2.5 times ours! In addition, we are far behind in terms of heavy equipment.  They are not as good as the Chinese, whose heavy artillery is twice that of ours. Now, the air supremacy on the Mexican battlefield is still in the hands of the Chinese. The Chinese can use their air force to bomb our troops at will. Although the anti-tank troops were beaten back  The Chinese attack, but its own losses are not small, almost one-third of the equipment and personnel have been lost. If the Chinese army continues to launch attacks, our anti-tank troops will eventually be consumed. By then,  It will be difficult for the front line to withstand the Chinese attack!" Leonard.  Admiral Wood said.  From his narrative, it has been shown that the US military is already at an absolute disadvantage on the Mexican battlefield. It is simply impossible to resist the attack of the Chinese army.

    "Well! This is a trouble. What if we immediately dispatch the air force to the Mexican battlefield and transport a batch of anti-tank weapons there?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said.  Obviously, he hasn't completely given up on the idea.

    "Your Excellency, this will take time. Even if the anti-tank troops are dispatched from the Rio Grande front line to the front line, it will take at least a week. And the Chinese will definitely launch a fierce attack within this week. Davis  It is hard to say whether the general can hold on for a week. As for air superiority, it is difficult for us to compete with the Chinese now. Yesterday morning, the Chinese army launched a large-scale bombing, and we sent it to Mexico.Almost all of the nearly two hundred fighter planes on the battlefield were destroyed, and hundreds of pilots were killed or injured.  Now, the Army Aviation Corps has less than 500 pilots, and we must use these pilots carefully.  The 'Hurricane' fighter jets we are currently equipped with are still unable to compete with the Chinese FB'Haidongqing fighter jets. Therefore, the Army Air Force recommends that before the 'Hurricane Pi' fighter jets enter service, large-scale outbreaks with the Chinese Air Force should be avoided.  Fight to preserve your strength!  "Secretary of War Elihu Root also said. In terms of aviation, the gap between the US military and China is really too big. The number of fighters can be easily made up, but pilots are not so easy to replace. Therefore, the US military needs to save pilots.  Just use it, don't waste it at all.

    "Okay, I understand. In that case, let General Davis delay as much time as possible! In addition, let General Pershing step up the construction of the Rio Grande defense line. I hope to be able to resist the Chinese.  Invade and keep them out of American soil!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said he was now giving up those unrealistic ideas.

    "Yes, Mr. President, we promise to keep the Chinese out of the United States!" Elihu.  Secretary Root and Leonard.  Admiral Wood said quickly, Theodore.  President Roosevelt gave up the unrealistic idea of ??controlling the battlefield within Mexico, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.  In this case, there would be no need to waste the U.S. Army's already weak military strength.

    The U.S. Department of War and the Army General Staff commended the U.S. military for being able to repel the attack of the Chinese Army's armored forces, and hoped that they could continue to resist the Chinese Army's attack.  These verbal commendations made General Davis and Lieutenant General Cole a little dissatisfied. At the same time, they also saw that the US military was still focusing on the Rio Grande defense line in the north.  The line of defense they held was still secondary, just buying time for the Rio Grande defense line.

    On the morning of August 25, the Chinese Army¡¯s Second Group Army resumed its attack on the US military.  This time, in addition to the armor, infantry and artillery of the 2nd Army, the air force will also cooperate with their attack throughout the entire process.  Through the coordinated operations of many arms, break through the US military's defense line.

    Starting at 7 a.m., the artillery of the 2nd Army and the 8th Army began shelling the US military positions.  During the hour-long shelling, the U.S. military's forward position was shelled repeatedly, as if it had been plowed several times with a plow.  Although after the Chinese army's attack ended yesterday, the US military used the remaining time to strengthen its positions.  But at this moment, they were hit by a large-scale shelling, which still destroyed the defenses they had worked so hard to build. Even some anti-tank firepower points made of reinforced concrete were blown up during the shelling.

    An hour of intense shelling was such a long time for the U.S. troops hiding in the bombholes.  Whenever a large-caliber artillery shell explodes around the bomb hole, the hole will vibrate, which frightens the U.S. officers and soldiers hiding inside, fearing that the hole will collapse.  If the shell-proof caverns were bombed, they would be buried alive inside.

    After the hour-long bombardment ended, hundreds of fighter jets from the Chinese Air Force had flown over the US military positions.  However, these aircraft did not launch an attack immediately, but hovered at high altitude.  Among the hundreds of aircraft, except for the twenty FB'Haidongqing fighter jets, the rest are HB'Hongyan bombers and FHB'Falcon dive bombers.  During yesterday's battle, the US military took the risk of using heavy artillery to bombard the Chinese Army's armored forces. Although it did not cause much damage to the armored forces, it also aroused China's vigilance.

    This time, dozens of HB Hongyan bombers were prepared to suppress the heavy artillery units of the US military.  As long as the US heavy artillery units dare to take the lead, these HB'swan geese and bombers will be able to carry out intensive bombing.  The other dozens of FH5 Falcons and dive bombers are prepared for the US anti-tank forces.  After the armored forces launch an attack, they will bomb the U.S. anti-tank firepower points to pull out these nails.

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, the armored brigade of the 2nd Army launched another attack.  This time, in addition to the remaining forty or so TB'Cheetahs and medium tanks, another TP'Wolf, a light tank battalion and an armored vehicle battalion were also replaced.  In addition, a regiment was also transferred from the 14th Infantry Division to fight with the armored forces.  This time the attack adopted air-ground coordination and infantry-tank coordination!
