    San Antonio was captured by the Chinese army, and it was never possible for the US military to recapture it! This dealt a heavy blow to the US military.  Especially at Laredo and McAllen on the Rio Grande defense line, the US military is still struggling to resist the attack of the Chinese army.  But the old nest has been captured by the Chinese army. From now on, they will no longer be able to receive any logistical supplies.  This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the more than two million American troops on the defense line.  Without ammunition and food, even if they have a greater military advantage, they will only be defeated by the Chinese army.  The collapse of the Rio Grande defense line is right before our eyes!

    "Those two guys, Anthony and Billy! They actually gave up to San Antonio after only holding on for three days! I must send them to a military court! And those guys, it took a whole week to get there.  San Antonio, they are completely delaying the war, send them all to court-martial!" General Pershing roared angrily in the headquarters located on the Rio Grande defense line.  He didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.  After San Antonio was captured by the Chinese army, the Rio Grande defense line could no longer be maintained.  And now, we have just entered November.  If you want to persist until the end of the year, there are still nearly two months left.  Can the United States persist for such a long time?

    In General Pershing¡¯s office, General Davis and Chief of Staff Payton.  Lieutenant General March also looked gloomy.  Like General Pershing, they were the senior commanders of the U.S. Army's Rio Grande Defense Line. After the Rio Grande Defense Line was breached, they would certainly not end well.  The most ideal result is to be forced to retire. If it is not handled well, you may be sent to a military court for trial.

    "General, according to the information we received, when Anthony and Billy retreated, they had not blown up the military supplies warehouse in San Antonio. In other words, all the food, weapons and ammunition we stored there have now fallen into the hands of the Chinese  With abundant resources, the logistical pressure on the Chinese will be greatly reduced. Our advantages in local operations will be offset. It is already very difficult to prevent the Chinese from attacking the hinterland of the United States!"  pause.  Lieutenant General March was as depressed as his dead mother.  He has completely lost confidence in the future war situation. In his opinion, this battle will directly cause the US Army to be severely damaged, and the United States will be completely finished.  Of course, the United States' last hope is its navy.  But even if the navy wins, I am afraid that the U.S. Army will not have enough strength to drive the Chinese army away from the United States.  In the end, the United States will have to taste failure again!

    "Son of a bitch, those two guys are simply committing a crime. Send a telegram to the 72nd Army and the 75th Army immediately to arrest them!" General Pershing yelled.  The U.S. Army has always been unable to match the Chinese army in terms of combat effectiveness, but General Pershing and the top brass of the U.S. Army have never given up hope.  Compared with the Chinese Army, although there is still a big gap in the tactics and weapons of the US Army, they have a great advantage in strength.  At the same time, it is a local battle, making it easier to obtain supplies.  The supplies of the Chinese army require thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean.  However, after the Chinese army captured San Antonio, this problem has been greatly alleviated.  Even though the rifle bullets and light machine gun bullets of both sides cannot be used interchangeably, the artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets can be used interchangeably.  The most critical thing is that the US military has stored a large amount of food in San Antonio.  Although these grains are basically flour, Chinese people who are accustomed to eating rice do not have a problem eating bread.  After obtaining the food in San Antonio, it was enough for the Chinese army to last for three months or even longer.  If the Chinese were more ruthless, they could even collect food from the surrounding Americans. In this case, the Chinese would no longer have to transport food from the country.  The Chinese can use the extra transportation capacity to transport more weapons, equipment and ammunition, or even send more troops to the United States.  If the U.S. Army wants to make a comeback, it will be even more impossible.  The Chinese capture of San Antonio is likely to determine the outcome of this war.  At least it was a victory in the North American battlefield.  And the United States will once again become the loser!

    "General, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to solve the current problem. We have assembled too many troops in Laredo and McAllen. The supplies these troops need to consume every day are astronomical figures. If there is no more  If we get supplies from San Antonio, we won't be able to hold on much longer! We have to think of a way in advance!" Admiral Davis reminded us.  Although he was very angry in his heart, the problem could not be solved by getting angry now. He had to come up with countermeasures earlier!

    "General March, how long can our current supplies last?" General Pershing asked.

    "General! Our current food, weapons and ammunition can last for at most half a month! After half a month, if we cannot recapture San Antonio or obtain logistical supplies, thenAll the food, weapons and ammunition we have stored up will be used up!  Lieutenant General Peyton March said. However, even he himself does not believe that the current US military is still capable of retaking San Antonio! The US military that captured San Antonio has identified the number of the Chinese army and it is the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army.  and the 6th Group Army, both are elite units of the Chinese Army. In addition, the Chinese Air Force is also stepping up its deployment to San Antonio. If the US military wants to retake San Antonio, it may have to gather more than one million troops. And it may not be successful.  .

    "You can only hold on for half a month? How can you do it in such a short time?" Admiral Pershing asked in surprise.  In his impression, although San Antonio is an important military material storage center for the US military, a lot of military materials are still deployed on the front line.  Even if San Antonio is captured by the Chinese army, it won't be able to hold on for only half a month!

    "General, in recent times, the Chinese have stepped up their attacks on Laredo and McAllen. If we want to hold our position, we have to pay a huge price. Both the casualties and the consumption of materials are greater than before.  A lot. Therefore, the current supplies can only last half a month!" Payton.  Lieutenant General March explained.

    ¡°So, do you think we are sure to defeat the Chinese army attacking Laredo and McAllen within half a month?¡± General Pershing asked.  Now for the US military, only by defeating the Chinese army that is attacking the Rio Grande defense line head-on can the US military reverse the situation.  But, is this possible?

    "General, this is completely impossible. The Chinese have invested more than 1.5 million troops on the frontal battlefield, and there are still hundreds of thousands of reserve troops that have not yet been deployed on the battlefield. We are now gathering in Laredo  McCarran's troops only have more than 2.4 million people. Although our troops have a great advantage. But in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops, we can no longer compare with the Chinese. Add  Upper San Antonio has been captured by the Chinese, and we have already had a big problem with our logistical supplies. If we want to defeat the Chinese within half a month, unless God appears!" General Davis shook his head.

    "Since we cannot defeat the Chinese, we can only admit that this battle has failed again. In order to preserve our strength, we must retreat. Otherwise, once our troops deployed on the Rio Grande defense line are annihilated by the Chinese,  We will no longer be able to fight the Chinese!" Payton.  Lieutenant General March also suggested.

    "San Antonio is occupied by the Chinese, and our way to retreat north has been cut off. In addition, if we retreat now, the Chinese will definitely launch a pursuit. I am afraid it will cause a major rout of the troops!" General Pershing  Said somewhat worriedly.  If the retreat fails and results in a great rout, then the losses of the US military will be even more severe!

    "General, now we can only cut off our strength! Leave enough troops to stop the Chinese, and the rest of the troops will retreat eastward, from the Gulf Coast to the heart of the United States. We can ask the Navy to provide us with protection. If the Navy's battleships can arrive  If it's the Gulf Coast, then we can retreat along the coast. No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they can't risk the threat of the battleship's main gun to stop us!" Admiral Davis said.  This was the best he could think of.  Retreat directly north, as San Antonio has been captured by the Chinese army, which is no longer possible.  Then, all that's left is to retreat eastward, and then retreat to the heart of the United States under the cover of the navy.  As long as the main force of the US military can escape back, it will rely on the replenishing rivers in the United States, such as the Colorado River, the Brazos River, and even the Arkansas River, Mississippi River, etc. in the rear.  Even if it loses a large amount of territory, the United States can still persevere.

    It is still unrealistic for the Chinese army to destroy the United States in a short period of time.  What's more, the United States still has a navy. If the navy can win, even if it cannot completely defeat the Chinese, it can at least strive for a decent peace for the United States.

    General Pershing nodded and acknowledged this.  Although this will cause a huge blow to the United States, it is already the best way for the United States.  If the main force of the U.S. Army can retreat, then the United States can still persist. If the main force of the U.S. Army is eliminated, then the United States will lose!
