    "Dear Secretary Elihu Root, General Leonard Wood! The war situation in Mexico has been completely corrupted, and we can no longer resist the Chinese attack. Throughout San Luis Potosi and nearby areas, the Chinese have absolute  advantage. Our soldiers are enduring Chinese shelling and aircraft bombing every moment, and lives are lost every second. We can no longer see any hope here! For most people  For the sake of their lives, in order to preserve our strength and continue to fight, I implore the Department of War and the Army Staff to agree to our breakout plan and retain as many elite soldiers as possible for the United States so that they can fight against the Chinese in the future.  Play a more important role in the invasion. After all, the Chinese are too powerful. Our war with the Chinese will be a protracted war and will not end so easily. Save more seeds and use them in future wars.  , we also have more strength to persist. Therefore, I have decided to lead the army to retreat eastward this evening, cross the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains, and reach the Gulf Coast.

    I hope the navy can send a fleet to meet us!  "At five o'clock in the morning on August 30, General Davis, the commander of the US military in the Mexican battlefield, sent a telegram that he drafted personally to the War Department and the Army Staff. Now, he has made up his mind to retreat. In fact, he has made up his mind to withdraw.  , after the telegram was sent, he and Lieutenant General Cole withdrew from San Luis Potosi with some confidants and slipped away from the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains to the east. The troops below received orders to persist  to night, and then retreat in batches.

    After receiving the telegram from General Davis, the U.S. Department of War and the Army Staff had no choice.  They have also learned that the US military fought very hard in the battle of San Luis Potosi.  After the Chinese army dispatched armored troops to assist the infantry in clearing out the U.S. troops in the city, the U.S. troops simply could not withstand the Chinese army's attack and were defeated blindly.  It can be seen from this situation that the US military can no longer hold on for long.  Therefore, General Davis asked for a retreat, and they were unable to stop it.  They knew that even if they strictly ordered General Davis to continue, General Davis would definitely not do it.  Therefore, they can only ask General Davis to bring these American soldiers back to the United States as safely as possible.  After all, these soldiers have had experience fighting against the Chinese army. Although they lost the battle, after being tested on the battlefield, their combat literacy is much higher than that of the rookies who just came out of the new military camp.  As long as they are re-equipped with new weapons and restored to their combat power, they will definitely become the main force of each army.  As General Davis said, this war between the United States and China will be a protracted war, and they must preserve their strength as much as possible.

    ? 20 kilometers east from San Luis Potosi is the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains.  When the U.S. Army occupied San Luis Potosi, their fortifications extended from San Luis Potosi to the Sierra Madre Oriental.  It's just that the defenses here cannot be compared with those in the city.  The Chinese army has also regarded San Luis Potosi as its main attack target and has not launched an attack on this section of the US military's defense line for the time being.

    The altitude of the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains is mostly more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and the transportation facilities are very poor. There are no formal roads, only some small roads.  If the US military wants to break through from this direction, it will have to abandon all its heavy equipment.  Moreover, it is completely impossible for hundreds of thousands of American troops to retreat through the trails in the mountains.  Therefore, the Chinese army did not send troops to intercept the US military from this aspect.  And this undoubtedly gave them an opportunity to retreat.  However, even if this is the case, most of the US troops will not be able to withdraw.

    At 7 o'clock in the morning on August 30, the artillery brigade of the Chinese Army's 8th Group Army and the artillery battalions of each infantry division began artillery bombardment of San Luis Potosi.  Only a small area of ??the city currently occupied by the US military remains.  It is expected that after today's battle ends, the Chinese army will be able to completely occupy San Luis Potosi.  When the armored forces attack eastward, they can easily annihilate the main force of the US military and successfully complete this battle.  The time spent will definitely be within a week and will not exceed the deadline given by Marshal Zhao Bowen.

    Because the urban areas controlled by the US military are not very big anymore, a large number of US troops have gathered here, and almost every shell exploded by the Chinese Army's heavy artillery unit can achieve considerable gains.

    "Buzz!" As if a large swarm of wasps were flying, when this sound came, the American soldiers in San Luis Potosi looked at the sky in horror.  After these days of fighting, they already understood what the sound was.

    Hundreds of Chinese Air Force fighter planes appeared in the sky above San Luis Potosi and began to drop bombs on the control of the US military.  Dense bombs exploded on the US military position, turning the US military position into a sea of ????fire.

    8 o'clock in the morning, already prepared! An infantry division of the 8th Group Army and two divisions of Japanese mercenaries?, with the assistance of the 8th Armored Brigade, launched an attack on the last US military-controlled area.  The morale of the soldiers was high, and their continuous advances in the past few days made them believe that the Americans were about to be defeated.

    "General He, I think we can take San Luis Potosi within today. After that, northern Mexico will be undefeated. We can fight all the way to the Rio Grande in the north. After crossing the Rio Grande,  If so, it¡¯s the mainland of the United States!¡± Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa said.  He has been longing for the United States for a long time.  Mexico is a poor country with no oil and water at all, and it is not even as good as the Southeast Asian region.  The Japanese mercenaries have been fighting in Mexico for more than half a year, but they have gained nothing at all.  But the United States is different. The United States is a very wealthy country. Once it invades the United States, it will definitely gain huge gains through the use of Japanese mercenaries!

    "Haha! There is no problem in defeating the US military and regaining Mexico. However, it is not that easy to cross the Rio Grande and invade the United States! The Americans have put all their main forces there!"  General He Bingju said.  The US military is building the Rio Grande defense line, which is no longer a secret to the Chinese army.  However, the US military has built a lot of defense lines in the past year of war, but every time it was easily broken through by the Chinese army.  This time the Rio Grande defense line should have the same ending.

    "General Congratulations, no matter how strong the American defense line is, it will never be able to withstand Chinese tanks and aircraft. I believe that we can easily invade the United States by then!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said.  The war has progressed to this point. Although the Chinese army occasionally encounters some setbacks on the battlefield, overall it is still making great progress.  This also made the mercenary officers and soldiers such as General Oshima Yoshimasa full of admiration for China.  They firmly believe that this war will definitely end with China's victory.  And they, the Japanese, can also take advantage of China.  After all, China eats meat, so they, the younger ones, can always drink some soup!

    ¡°I am also looking forward to the day when we invade the United States. I believe that this day will not be too far away!¡± General He Bingju said.

    In this day¡¯s battle, the U.S. military¡¯s resistance was very weak.  By noon, after several hours of fighting, the 8th Army and Japanese mercenaries had captured the entire San Luis Potosi.  The American troops stationed here either fled or surrendered directly to the Chinese army.  The US military, whose morale was low, no longer had the courage to continue fighting.

    After learning of the capture of San Luis Potosi, Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Chinese Army and Supreme Commander of the Mexican Front, also rushed to the front line in person.  The 8th Army was able to capture San Luis Potosi at a relatively small cost and wipe out countless enemies, which made him very satisfied.

    "Marshal, the resistance of the Americans is not fierce. The 8th Army and Japanese mercenaries have launched an attack on the last line of defense of the US military. This time, the US military will be unable to fly even if it has wings!" said General He Bingju.

    "Well! Let the 8th Army guard the gap in the north and don't let the Americans escape!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  After annihilating this American army, the overall situation of the entire Mexican battlefield has been determined.

    At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly walked into the headquarters.

    "Marshal, there is news from the Air Force that reconnaissance planes over the Sierra Madre Oriental have discovered a large number of US troops fleeing eastward!" said the staff officer.  Originally, General Davis's order was to insist on retreating until night, but due to the unsatisfactory battle, General Davis and Lieutenant General Cole had already fled first.  Therefore, the commander below did not care about carrying out the order to persist until night, and directly led his troops to escape!

    "East? Eastern Sierra Madre Mountains? How is this possible?" General He Bingju was shocked.

    "Order all ministries to attack immediately! Eat the main force of the Americans!" Marshal Zhao Bowen issued the order directly.  Although we know that it is impossible for the main force of the US military to cross the Sierra Madre Oriental, in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, it is better to launch an attack immediately.

    After Marshal Zhao Bowen issued the order, the main force of the 8th Army and the main force of the Japanese mercenaries launched a fierce attack on the US military without any reservations.  Under such a blow, the already panicked US military could no longer hold on and surrendered to the Chinese army one after another.  By evening, most of the fighting was over.  The main force of the US military on the Mexican battlefield has been basically wiped out, and this also indicates that almost a year after the war between China and the United States, China has once again regained Mexico!
