    Marshal Zhao Bowen looked at the Americans on the other side of the Rio Grande taking on Igor Pass, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

    Yes, this is the real main attack direction of the Chinese army. When the main force of the US military was attracted to Laredo and McAllen, the Chinese army secretly dispatched the 2nd Army and the 6th Army to Piedras  .  These two armies, with a total of more than 280,000 troops, plus ten additional infantry divisions, will cross the river from here, quickly defeat the U.S. troops on the opposite side, and then use powerful armored forces to clear the way to San Antonio, an important base behind the U.S. military.  Launch an assault.  As long as San Antonio can be successfully captured, then the victory of this battle will be determined!

    "Have you found out how many troops there are on the opposite side of the U.S. military? If we launch an attack, how long will it take to eliminate the U.S. troops on the opposite side? In addition, how long will it take to assault from here to San Antonio?" Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.  road.  In order to avoid the US military reconnaissance personnel, the 2nd Army and the 6th Army have been moving by day and night.  Although it is a lot of hard work for the soldiers.  But the effect was very good. At least the US military's attention was really focused on Laredo and McAllen.  Moreover, the U.S. military continues to reduce the strength of the Rio Grande defense line and dispatches a large number of troops from the rear to reinforce Laredo and McAllen. This undoubtedly gives the Chinese army a very good opportunity.  If we can win, then this battle will completely disintegrate the main force of the US military!  In fact, the overall situation of the entire North American war has been decided!

    "Marshal! There is only one US infantry division stationed in Igor Pass on the other side of the river. In addition, only the 16th Army of the US Army is stationed in Igor Pass and the hundreds of kilometers of defense lines on both sides. Originally, there were a total of  There are three armies, but now the other two armies have been transferred to Laredo. After the attack begins, with the support of the air force, we are sure to defeat the American troops on the opposite side within half a day. By the afternoon, the main force of the group army will be able to  Cross the Rio Grande. The armored forces will begin their assault on San Antonio. Igor Pass is only two hundred kilometers away from San Antonio. And the road conditions are very good. At the speed of the armored forces, it will take at most one and a half to two days.  We can reach San Antonio in less time! However, the US military has two armies of defenders in San Antonio. We must mobilize two to three more infantry divisions to defeat the US military and occupy it!" No. 2  General Xie Dingkun, commander of the group army, replied.  During the Battle of San Luis Potos¨ª in the northern battlefield of Mexico, the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 2nd Army suffered heavy losses.  But fortunately, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were shipped from China during this period. Now the 2nd Armored Brigade has been replenished, the soldiers have also been run-in, and their combat effectiveness can basically be exerted normally.  For General Xie Dingkun, this battle is undoubtedly a battle of revenge, so he also attaches great importance to it.

    "So now it seems that the US military on the other side of the river is not afraid at all. Then our biggest problem is to reach San Antonio in the shortest possible time and capture it! Although the main force of the US military has been transferred to Laredo and McAllen  The troops in the rear are also rushing towards those two places. But we have to admit that the US military still has a great advantage in strength. In this battle, only the 2nd Army and the 6th Army can be relied on, and the other ten  The infantry division is just a supplement! Tomorrow is October 25th. After launching the attack, I hope that the troops will be able to arrive in San Antonio on the 28th of KO and launch an attack on San Antonio! We must win before October 31st  San Antonio! As for the combat supplies stored by the US military in San Antonio

    If you can capture it, that would be the best thing. If you can¡¯t capture it, then destroy it all!  Nothing can be left to the Americans!  Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.

    "It's Marshal!" General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Group Army, and General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, both replied.  The 6th Army still has only three infantry divisions, and the other three infantry divisions are deployed in Alaska, the former United States, and now the Icefield Province of China.  Originally, the Chinese Army was preparing to attack Canada from the Icefield Province, but the road facilities there were too poor, and the swamps scattered all over were not conducive to the Chinese army's heavy equipment march.  In addition, the Canadian government did not build good roads in the area, which made the Chinese army's operations very unsmooth.  In the end, the Chinese army had to stop the combat plan.  Now, the General Staff Headquarters has planned to transfer those three divisions to the North American battlefield and allow the 6th Army to restore its original structure.  After the strength of the 6th Group Army is restored, it will be able to undertake more important combat tasks instead of just playing a supporting role on the battlefield as before!

    At 7 o'clock in the morning on the 25th of KO, the defense line of the 64th Infantry Division under the US 16th Army was quiet.  When the Chinese army launched large-scale offensives in Laredo and McAllen, almost! All US military generals regarded Laredo and McAllen as the key targets of the Chinese army's attack.  Although this makes life very difficult for the U.S. troops on the defense line, it also makes life difficult for the U.S. troops guarding other areas.For the military, this is very good news.  At least they don't have to face the vicious Chinese.  Some people who are greedy for life and fear of death even thank God for his blessing.

    The US 64th Infantry Division only deployed one regiment of troops on the defensive line of Igor Pass, and the remaining troops were stationed in the city.  It is already autumn, and it is definitely more comfortable to live in the city than to garrison the defense line outside.  This would definitely not work if the battle had just begun.  But now, no one cares so much.  In the subconscious mind of the officers of the US 64th Infantry Division and even the entire 16th Army, they believed that this would not be the main direction of attack of the Chinese army.  Even if the entire Rio Grande defense line is broken through by the Chinese army, they can retreat northward calmly without having to fight the Chinese army like other troops.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just after 7 o'clock in the morning, many officers and soldiers of the US 64th Infantry Division had just gotten up and were preparing to get breakfast after washing up.  But at this time, there was a sharp whistle in the sky.

    "Damn it! Shelling! This is Chinese shelling! Go back to the artillery cave!" Some experienced officers immediately understood what the sound was. It was clearly the sound of heavy artillery bombardment.

    Before the panicked U.S. troops had time to retreat into the artillery caves, artillery shells exploded around them.  American soldiers were thrown high one by one. When they fell back to the ground, they had become a pile of minced meat.

    The U.S. military, which was completely unprepared for combat, was caught off guard.  When they came to their senses, the entire U.S. defense line was enveloped in artillery fire.

    "General, we have been violently attacked by the Chinese. They have concentrated at least 500 heavy artillery pieces! Please give us support quickly, otherwise, we will not be able to withstand their attack at all!" Commander of the US 64th Infantry Division  Immediately request support from Major General Cameron, commander of the 16th Army.

    From the artillery used by the Chinese army, he could deduce that the Chinese army must have assembled heavy troops on the other side of the river. This was simply not something that his division of only more than 12,000 people could resist.

    "What? The Chinese are attacking Igor Pass, how is this possible?" Major General Cameron, commander of the 16th US Army, did not believe that this was the case at all.  In his subconscious mind, he also believed that the Chinese army would not launch an attack on their defense lines.

    "General, this is true. Can you listen to the sound of artillery outside?" The commander of the US 64th Infantry Division pointed the phone's microphone out the window!

    Major General Cameron's face on the other side of the phone line suddenly changed. He was very clear about the current configuration of the US military. If the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack in Igor Pass, he would not get any reinforcements at all.  , it is estimated that the nearest reinforcements will not arrive until two days later.  This means that he needs to independently resist the huge Chinese army.

    "Damn it, hold on to your position, I'll report to General Pershing right away, we've all been fooled by those damn yellow-skinned monkeys!" Major General Cameron roared.  He suddenly realized that the Chinese army's fierce attacks in Laredo and McAllen were simply to attract the attention of the US military and lay a trap for the US military.  And the US military foolishly jumped into the trap prepared by the Chinese.  Once the Chinese capture Igor Pass and rapidly advance northward, the Rio Grande defense line constructed by the US military will be ineffective.

    Because the U.S. military did not deploy many troops in Igor Pass, the artillery of the Chinese Army's 2nd Group Army and 6th Group Army only prepared firepower for fifteen minutes before they began to extend back and focus their artillery attacks.  In the urban area of ??Igor Pass.  At this time, the 141st Regiment of the 14th Infantry Division under the Second Army also began to cross the Rio Grande.  More than 4,000 people took more than 400 small boats that had been prepared and sailed to the other side of the river.

    The troops on the U.S. defense line had just experienced a horrific bombardment and emerged from the bombholes to prepare to resist the Chinese army's attack. However, at this time, Chinese Air Force fighter jets had already flown over the U.S. military.  One after another, FB'Haidongqing, fighter jets strafed the US military, and HB'Hongyan, bombers dropped a large number of bombs on the US military's position, turning the US military's position into a sea of ??fire.  The FH5 Falcon dive bomber accurately dropped the heavy aerial bombs mounted under the belly onto the US military's firepower points and artillery positions!
