San Antonio, inside the command of the U.S. military. General Anthony, commander of the 72nd Army, and Major General Billy, commander of the 75th Army, exchanged a telegram with sad faces. As soon as the Chinese Army's armored units arrived on the outskirts of San Antonio, the two men reported the situation to Admiral Pershing. Admiral Pershing immediately sent a telegram demanding that they must hold on to San Antonio, and that reinforcements were already on their way. It only takes three days at most to be able to rush to reinforcements.

San Antonio is an important city in the southern United States and the rear of the U.S. Army's defense line on the Rio Grande. Ever since the U.S. military began building a defensive line along the Rio Grande, the U.S. military has stockpiled major war materiel in San Antonio. After all, San Antonio is located more than two hundred kilometers from the Rio Grande and is far from the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force, which can effectively prevent the bombing of the Chinese Air Force. And, in order to strengthen the defense here, the U.S. military deployed five corps of defenders in San Antonio. However, as the situation of the Rio Grande Line became worse and worse, the American army began to draw a large number of troops from the rear to reinforce the front line, and the garrison in San Antonio was also within the scope of the transfer. Now, San Antonio has only two corps left.

Originally, all the US generals, including General Pershing, believed that since the Chinese Army launched an attack at the same time in Laredo and McCarron, then the main direction of attack of the squadron must be these two places. This allows the U.S. military to confidently and boldly withdraw troops from the rear to strengthen the defenses of Laredo and McCarron. But the squadron unexpectedly launched an attack from Igor Pass, and it was still the main force. This is undoubtedly tantamount to launching an attack on the deadliest part of the US military. If San Antonio is captured by the squadron, the millions of American troops in the forward will be deprived of logistical supplies. This is definitely an unprecedented fiasco for the US military. The main forces of the U.S. Army could even be completely destroyed in this battle. When the time comes, if the US military wants to resist the attack of the squadron, it will be impossible.

After learning that the squadron began to march towards San Antonio, and that it was the armored forces that made a rapid assault all the way from Igor Pass to San Antonio, Admiral Pershing ordered the US 72nd Army and the 75th Army to defend San Antonio, and at the same time sent troops from all over the country to reinforce San Antonio. It's just that the troops around San Antonio have already been exhausted, and no matter which direction the U.S. military moves from, it will take several days. This undoubtedly makes it much more difficult for the U.S. military to hold San Antonio. If reinforcements could not arrive in time, it would have been impossible to hold San Antonio by relying solely on the old, weak, sick and disabled of the US 72nd and 75th armies.

"Damn, Admiral Pershing actually told us to defend San Antonio! We only have two armies, how can we hold it? Major General Anthony, commander of the 72nd Army, said angrily. He had previously sent the 287th Infantry Division to block the ** squadron, but under the attack of the armored forces of the Chinese Army, the 287th Infantry Division was defeated in more than an hour, which shocked him and at the same time, he did not have much confidence in holding San Antonio.

"Anthony, didn't General Pershing tell us that reinforcements are already on the way? It will be there in three days at most. There are only more than 30,000 Chinese outside the city, even if they are armored troops, but with 100,000 troops, it should be no problem for us to hold on for three days! Major General Billy, commander of the 75th Army, said. Although he knows that the current situation is very bad, as a beauty, what else can he do? It's only hard work with the squadron! He knows very well the importance of San Antonio, all the supplies of the American army in the Rio Grande defense line are stored here, if this place is occupied by the Chinese, or those materials are destroyed, then the war is completely finished for the United States!

"Humph! Billy, wake up! General Pershing said that reinforcements would arrive in three days, which in my experience was simply impossible. I'm willing to bet it will take at least five days for those guys to arrive, and when they do, they'll probably only be able to collect our bodies! Don't forget that the Chinese are also marching from Igor Pass to San Antonio, and the Chinese are marching much faster than us, and if it is not good, the main forces of the Chinese will arrive in San Antonio before our reinforcements. You don't think we are capable of defeating the main forces of the Chinese, do you? In addition, don't underestimate the squadron outside the city, although they only have more than 30,000 people, they have hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles! If we want to fend off their attacks, it is simply impossible! "Major General Anthony has participated in the battles of the Mexican battlefield and knows the power of the armored forces of the Chinese Army. The attack power of two armored brigades is enough to surpass several armies of the US army!

"Even if Anthony has strong armored forces in the Chinese, we also have a lot of anti-tank weapons. I have ordered all the anti-tank weapons in the warehouse to be removed, and we can deploy thousands of anti-tank guns in the city. As long as China Town is in charge, we will destroy all the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese! Major General Billy said eagerly. San Antonio has a large stockpile of weapons and ammunition for the US military, as well as quite a few anti-tank weapons. Originally, these anti-tank weapons were to be sent to the front line. But now that the Chinese are in San Antonio, these weapons cannot be transported. And the U.S. troops guarding San Antonio can just use these weapons to counterattack the squadron. Although the U.S. military is not the opponent of the squadron in the field battle, the role of these anti-tank weapons can be fully played in the urban street fighting!

Major General Anthony nodded, the situation of the battle had developed to the current state, and he had no other way but to defend San Antonio according to Admiral Pershing's orders. His only hope now was probably that the reinforcements promised by Admiral Pershing would actually arrive in three days. Otherwise, if the U.S. military wants to hold San Antonio, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky!

On March 27, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 6th Armored Brigade, the 111th Regiment, the 112th Regiment, the 211th Regiment and the 212th Regiment of the Chinese Army, totaling more than 33,000 people, began to attack San Antonio. The U.S. military built only improvised fortifications on the outskirts of San Antonio, and it was hastily built after the squadron launched an attack on Igor Pass. It is simply impossible to rely on these hastily constructed fortifications to resist the attack of the squadron.

In half a day, with the assistance of armored troops, the squadron cleared the fortifications on the perimeter of San Antonio.

From the afternoon, the squadron launched an attack on the American troops in the city. It's just that in the process of attacking, there was trouble. In order to compensate for the lack of infantry forces, armored troops also stormed the city. However, in the fierce street fighting, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored units could not withstand the attacks of US anti-tank guns from close range. When fighting in the field, the armored units of the Chinese Army can also deliberately control the engagement distance of the two sides and fight outside the effective range of the US anti-tank guns in order to destroy the US anti-tank weapons. But in street fighting, it's not that easy. Narrow streets are not conducive to maneuvering of tanks and armored vehicles, and are often destroyed by anti-tank guns deployed by U.S. forces on street corners or in buildings on both sides of the streets. Once the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, the infantry behind them was exposed to the intensive fire of the American army, which caused great casualties to the squadron.

Even though the squadron sent a large number of infantry to protect these tanks and armored vehicles, it still could not avoid being attacked by the American army. The U.S. military always hid their anti-tank guns and waited until the tanks and armored vehicles of the squadron's armored units were less than 100 meters away from them before firing. At this distance, even the armor of the TB' Cheetah, a medium tank, could not withstand the fire of the American anti-tank guns, let alone the much weaker armor of the TP' Wolf, light tanks and armored vehicles.

However, even though the squadron paid a lot of casualties, their attack was still very fierce. The losses paid by the U.S. military were not small, and the squadron began to occupy parts of San Antonio one after another.

This battle was a tough battle for both the squadron and the U.S. troops who held on to San Antonio. Even if the U.S. military can inflict heavy casualties on the Chinese Army's armored units with hidden anti-tank weapons, it will not make up for the gap between the two sides. Whether it is those children who have not yet reached adulthood or those middle-aged soldiers, they cannot be compared with the experienced Chinese soldiers in terms of combat quality.

After the casualties grew, these American soldiers could not hold on to it at first. In the face of the fierce attack of the squadron, many American soldiers who had a nervous breakdown began to flee. And the power of example is endless, when there are deserters in the ranks, the morale of the US military can be imagined. If you want the rest to keep fighting, you can't do it unless God has a manifestation!

The resistance of the US army is getting weaker and weaker, which undoubtedly gives the squadron a better chance. The squadron immediately intensified its attack, which also made the U.S. military retreat faster and faster.

By the afternoon of October 28, the squadron had occupied most of the city. At this time, the 141st Regiment of the Chinese Army was the first to rush to the battlefield. The addition of the new force made the squadron's offensive more fierce, and the reinforcements of the American army could not arrive for a long time, which made the defenders of San Antonio suffer a huge blow in morale.

By October 29, the squadron had completely captured San Antonio, while the American troops withdrew from the city and retreated to the American hinterland in the north!
