Chapter 1120: I Can't Hold On

In the narrow streets of San Luis Potosí, two tanks were moving forward, one behind the other, their tracks creaking over the rubble and bricks on the ground. These two tanks, the one in front is the TB' Gepard, a medium tank, and the one in the back is the TP' Wolf, a light tank. The tanks of the 8th Panzer Brigade, all dispersed, acted alone or several together. After all, the city is not like the plains, where hundreds of tanks can go on a rampage.

Around these two tanks was a platoon squadron and a squadron of 140 Japanese mercenaries. They are responsible for clearing a street about half a kilometer long. During yesterday's battle, the U.S. military deployed a lot of troops on this street, and at the same time built a lot of solid firepower points, which made the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries responsible for attacking here pay a lot of price.

Tanks are most vulnerable to enemy infantry in street fighting, whether they are using anti-tank weapons, explosive packs or cluster grenades, etc., as long as the tactics are right, they can destroy tanks. In the narrow streets, the tanks of the squadron were also not easy to dodge the attack. Therefore, the soldiers of the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries were scattered on both sides and behind the tank, always vigilant around, and once they found the American troops, they immediately launched an attack to protect the tank as much as possible. In addition, this is also the fact that the anti-tank weapons of the US army have been lost almost before, so the tanks of the 8th Armored Brigade dared to drive into the city of San Luis Potosi to assist the squadron in clearing the US troops in the city. Otherwise, with the strength of San Luis Potosí's defenses, it would have been very difficult for the 8th Army to take the entire city in the remaining five days.

The TB' Cheetah, numbered 8106, was a medium tank that drove on the streets, and the medium tank had thicker armor than the light tank, so it became a target for attracting American fire and a shield to protect the light tanks and infantry behind. As long as it is not fired at close range by the US anti-tank guns, the US military has no good way to destroy this thick-skinned tank.

But even so, the 8106 tank was very careful, and the turret kept turning back and forth

Aim for suspicious places. Once there is a suspicion that there are US troops hiding, artillery will be fired to ensure everyone's safety.

"Captain, what should I do? The Chinese tank is such a big guy, we can't deal with it! "Two U.S. officers, hidden behind the ruins of a destroyed house, looked at the approaching tanks in the distance, their faces worried.

"Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, if I had a 37mm anti-tank gun in my hand, two guns would be able to take out the Chinese tank!" An American captain said with great regret. The U.S. military had not invested much in anti-tank weapons on the Mexican battlefield in the first place.

Because on the first day of the battle, the anti-tank units of the US army won a heavy victory, which made the commanders of the US army think that they could effectively resist the attack of the armored forces of the squadron by relying on anti-tank weapons, so they sent all the anti-tank units to the front line in order to ensure that the front line would not be broken through by the squadron. As a result, I never expected that in the next day's battle, the situation would be reversed, the anti-tank units of the US army were all wiped out, and even the defense line was broken through by the squadron. This also directly led the US army to be powerless in the face of the squadron's armored forces in the next battle. Although the U.S. military's fortifications in San Luis Potosi are very strong, if the squadron's armored units are involved, the advantage of the U.S. military may not be maintained.

"Captain, what do we do now? Want to retreat? The lieutenant officer next to him said. They had only one company on this street, and a strength of one hundred and twenty men. But

With the several firepower points they have built, they can completely withstand the attack of hundreds of people. But now, with two more tanks, they have no confidence at all.

"No, you can't just retreat. Order the brothers to do something, leave the two tanks alone, and attack the Chinese hiding around and behind the tanks. After we finish out those Chinese, those two tanks will be useless! The captain officer said.

"Okay, Captain!" The lieutenant officer nodded.

"Da Da Da!" Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the streets. The TB' Cheetah, who was walking in the front, the soldiers near the tank, fell to the ground in an instant under the dense rain of bullets, and the soldiers behind were all lying on the ground.

At this time, the T5 'Cheetah, the tank also reacted and began to search for traces of the enemy. The machine guns written on the tanks also began to fire, firing at the American troops. In addition, the 57mm tank gun also found its target, which was a firing point hiding in a dilapidated house.

"Boom!" A 57-mm armor-piercing projectile was fired from a tank gun, and in an instant that fire! The force was destroyed.!

It's just that more and more American troops are popping up from both sides of the street to attack this unit. The TP' Wolf, the light tank, seeing the urgency of the situation, also hurriedly saw the front, and TB

'Cheetah, medium tank together against the enemy. The street was just over seven meters wide, and two tanks were in front of it, blocking almost the entire street. The dense bullets hit the steel plates of the tank with a crisp sound, but they could not kill or injure the Chinese soldiers and Japanese mercenary soldiers who were hiding behind.

"Mortar! Get ready to attack and take out those Yankees! The attacked squadron and Japanese mercenary soldiers reacted, relying on the two tanks in front of them, and launched a confrontation with the American troops. At the same time, weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns were added, and with the help of two tanks, the tide of the battle was quickly reversed.

Tanks are constantly advancing, oppressing the living space of the US military. And one by one, they destroyed the firing points of the American army. The squadron and the Japanese mercenaries hid behind the tanks, followed the tanks forward, and as soon as they seized the opportunity, they fired a dense rain of bullets at the American troops. This style of play has helped protect its own security, and at the same time has dealt a great blow to the US military. The U.S. military's plan, which originally hoped to rely on the fortifications in the city of San Luis Potosí to inflict heavy damage on the squadron, obviously could not succeed.

"Captain, we can't stop it, the Chinese have tanks to help in the war, we can't deal with them at all!" In less than 20 minutes of fighting, a company of the US army lost more than half, and the losses of the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries were obviously smaller than theirs.

"Damn! Come on, blow up the Chinese tank for me! The captain company commander gritted his teeth and said. He knew that if he wanted to hold his position without destroying the tanks of the Chinese, it would be impossible. It's just that if you want to destroy a large number of tanks protected by infantry, it is completely impossible. Unless the U.S. military has specialized anti-tank weapons, it simply cannot be done by the way death squads throw explosive packages.

After the order of the captain and company commander was given, several American death squads jumped out from behind the rubble next to the street with explosives bags and rushed towards the two tanks of the squadron. However, before they could rush in front of the tank, they were shot by the infantry protecting the tank.

Unable to destroy the enemy's tanks, their own fire points were destroyed one after another, and the casualties were increasing, which made the American troops have to choose to retreat. Otherwise, they will all be wiped out here.

The same scene is played out in the streets of the southern part of San Luis Potosí. With the assistance of the tank troops, the squadron continued to encroach on the positions of the US troops, seized the positions controlled by the US troops at a very small cost, and at the same time dealt a great blow to the US troops. After a day of fighting, the U.S. military lost more than 20 percent of the city. Together with the city area captured yesterday, a third of the entire San Luis Potosí is already in the hands of the squadron.

The commander of the 8th Army, General He Bingju, was very satisfied with this progress, and if it continued like this, he would be able to capture the whole of San Luis Potosí in two more days. Moreover, the losses are a little smaller than yesterday. Although, the 8th Armored Brigade also lost several tanks and armored vehicles in today's battles. But such a loss is completely acceptable.

The squadron's attack was very smooth, but this caused great losses to the U.S. military. The continuous loss of positions and the increasing casualties of the troops not only greatly affected the combat strength of the US troops, but also greatly damaged the morale of the troops.

In the absence of anti-tank weapons, they can only use flesh and blood to fight the tanks of the Chinese. How can a fragile human body fight steel? Even in order to defend the United States, to defend their homeland, these American soldiers are willing to pay with their lives. But only if they are rewarded for their efforts. Holding explosive packs or cluster grenades, they fearlessly rushed at the Chinese tank, but they could not blow up the Chinese tank, but put their lives into it. Once there are more such situations, the rest of the US military is not willing to do such stupid things anymore. This directly led to a smoother attack by the squadron, and the resistance of the American army became weaker and weaker.

During the battle on August 29, it often happened that once the tanks of the squadron appeared in a certain block, the American troops in charge of defending it immediately fled, even at the cost of injuring themselves, so that they could flee the battlefield. This shows that many US troops have no confidence in continuing the battle, and this directly leads to the defeat of the US military in the battle. The collapse of the US army in this battle is just around the corner!
