Chapter 992: Armored Brigade
Admiral Davis arrived in Mexico City only on the night of April 2rì, of the American army! The old force retreated northward in an orderly manner. Davis took a company of jǐng guards, and the speed was naturally much faster. By the time he arrived in Mexico City, however, the political situation in the United States had stabilized. Roosevelt had once again become president of the United States, and General Pershing had once again become the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield. This finally let go of Admiral Davis's heart that had been hanging. Although his acting commander on the Mexican battlefield has also come to an end, he is still quite satisfied with being able to serve as Admiral Pershing's deputy.
As soon as Admiral Pershing was reinstated, he sent a telegram to Admiral Davis, asking Admiral Davis to do his best to gather his troops. In addition, the US forces on the battlefield will be reorganized and strive to restore the US military's combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time. It's just that this task is very difficult. In fact, on the Mexican battlefield, the US military did not have a small number of troops. Before and after, the U.S. military has invested 3 million troops on the battlefield in Mexico, but the U.S. troops who were annihilated and captured by the Chinese Army accounted for half of the total, and the remaining U.S. troops were demoralized, and it was very difficult to get them back on their feet.
Fortunately, the Chinese Army did not immediately attack after breaking through the defense line of the American Army in the Sierra Madre do Sul, which gave the American Army a chance to breathe. In fact, the Chinese Army was forced to stop. After the battle of Chilpansingo, the strategic materials of the squadron were almost exhausted again, and the next big war had to be prepared for a period of time. In addition, the casualties of various departments also need to be replenished, especially the mercenaries, whose losses have already been half gone, and it is even more necessary to receive new recruits from the country. In addition, the reinforcements sent by the General Staff to the Mexican battlefield also took time to adapt. This made Marshal Zhao Bowen have to order the whole army to go on the defensive, and the whole army temporarily rested.
Upon his arrival in Mexico City, Admiral Davis immediately ordered the reorganization of the U.S. Army and the reorganization, and the remaining U.S. Army reorganized into 30 corps, all of which were given new designations. At the same time, the U.S. military's central defense line was centered on Mexico City, supported by Cuernavaca and Cuetra southwest of Mexico City, and Puebla in the south. Mexico City is surrounded by mountains to the west, southwest, south, and southeast, making it easy to defend. Therefore, as long as these key points are held, it is still very likely that the US military will be able to resist the Chinese Army.
Of course, after the battle between the defense line of the Sierra Madre do Sul and the squadron, the US military already had an understanding of the strength of the Chinese army and the rìben mercenaries. The terrain of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south was finally broken through by the Chinese Army, and now the mountains around Mexico City are much lower, and the generals of the American Army are unsure whether they can withstand the attack of the Chinese Army. Compared with the defense line in the Sierra Madre do Sul, the US military has a greater advantage in that the logistics supply line has been shortened a lot, while the logistics supply line of the squadron has been greatly lengthened, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of logistics support. In addition, the US military has developed a high-profile machine gun specially designed for air defense, and when facing the attack of the Chinese Air Force, they do not have to be beaten anymore, and at least have a certain amount of counterattack power, which has greatly improved the morale of the US military.
Admiral Pershing also set off from Washington and rushed to Mexico City. At the same time, the U.S. War Department will send 20 armies, or 1 million troops, to the Mexican battlefield in half a month. This has further boosted the confidence of the US military.
No sooner had Admiral Davis arrived in Mexico City than someone approached him. Mexican President Madero, Vice President Díaz, and several members of Mexico's cabinet came to Admiral Davis' headquarters. Although these people are not very welcome, now that the U.S. military is fighting on Mexican soil, there are many places where Mexico's cooperation is still needed, so Admiral Davis has to be patient to meet them.
"Your Excellency, and Excellencies, is there anything wrong with you coming to me so late?" Admiral Davis asked, looking tired, as he rushed from the Sierra Madre do Sul line to Mexico City with little rest along the way. Upon arriving in Mexico, he immediately began to reorganize the defeated American forces and deploy a new defensive line, which took too much of his strength. Now he has to deal with these politicians in Mexico, which makes him very tired.
"Admiral Davis, we wonder if your army has the strength to keep the Chinese south of Mexico City? Keeping Mexico's capital? Mexican President Madero asked. His face was anxious, he regretted his death in his heart, and he didn't know why he was so stupid in the first place, listened to the Gu huò of the Americans, and betrayed China. It was thought that the US military would be able to drive the Chinese out of North America so that he would no longer have to be a puppet. But I didn't expect that the Americans were so unbeaten, and millions of people still had a geographical advantage, but as a result, they were severely beaten by the Chinese, and they were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, not to mention heavy losses, and even the defense line was broken through! I am afraid that it will not be long before the Chinese will come to Mexico City. This is tantamount to a disaster for these high-ranking Mexican officials who have betrayed China, and there is no need to think about it to know that China will definitely not let go of these betrayers. Once caught by the Chinese, it is light to remove them from their posts, and if they are not good, they will be directly sent to the gallows. This made these usually high-ranking officials very frightened, and now it's too late to regret it, they just want to head Mexico City, although power is very important, but xìng's life is even more important!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please believe that the US military has enough ability to hold Mexico City, and we will definitely block the Chinese south of the defensive line." The United States has completed the transition, President Roosevelt is once again in power, and he will lead us to defeat the Chinese. In addition, the United States has once again sent millions of reinforcements, and by then we will have sufficient troops to deal with the attack of the Chinese. Therefore, Mexico City must be safe! Admiral Davis assured everyone. It's just that these high-ranking officials in Mexico don't believe his statement so much!
"General Davis, this is what your army promised us when it was in the defense line of the Sierra Madre do Sul! But in just two months, the defense line of the Sierra Madre do South has been broken through by the Chinese! A high-ranking official in Mexico debunked mercilessly.
Suddenly, Admiral Davis's face looked a little ugly. The defense line of Sierra Madre do Sul was broken, and the American troops suffered heavy losses, but it was not something that these Mexicans could blame. Although the U.S. military is not the opponent of the squadron, if it wants to deal with these Mexicans, it is still easy to capture. It's just that the war is still going on, and Admiral Davis doesn't want to create another enemy for the United States, even if this enemy is very rubbish. A troubled Mexico is clearly not in the interests of the United States.
"Your Excellency, if you don't believe us, then I have no other way. However, the US military will do its best to resist the Chinese. After all, if the defense line is broken through by the Chinese again, there will be no benefit to the United States at all! Admiral Davis suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
President Madero nodded, if Mexico City was captured by China, it would certainly be a disaster for them, the high-ranking officials of Mexico. But for the United States, it is not a good thing either. Once the squadron breaks through to northern Mexico, it will be able to pose a direct threat to the U.S. mainland.
"General, after our deliberations, we intend to move the Mexican zhèngfǔ to San Luis bōtosi." President Madero said. The senior officials in Mexico are not very optimistic about the US military and are unwilling to accompany the US military into the crisis.
"No, if Mexico evacuates Mexico City, it will shake the hearts of the people. We hope that the Mexican zhèngfǔ will stick with us until the last moment! Admiral Davis flatly refused.
"Why? We are not military and now that Mexico City is so dangerous, why stop us from leaving? The high-ranking officials of Mexico suddenly stopped doing it and shouted one after another.
In the end, Admiral Davis had to assure them that if the U.S. military could not hold the defense line in central Mexico, the senior Mexican officials could evacuate as soon as possible, which was already the biggest compromise the U.S. military could make. When the high-ranking officials in Mexico saw Admiral Davis's toughness, they had no choice but to agree. They just don't want to die in the war, as long as they can evacuate before the squadron breaks through Mexico City and not be caught by the Chinese, it will be enough.
While the U.S. military was preparing for war and building a defense line in central Mexico, the squadron was also preparing for war. Truckloads of military supplies such as munitions, oil and food arrived in Acapulco by sea. It was then transported by guò truck to Chilpansingo and other areas of the front. The preparation work of the squadron is also being carried out in an orderly manner. The arrival of a large number of recruits allowed the units lost on the battlefield to be replenished. In addition, reinforcements from 20 divisions dispatched by the General Staff are also about to arrive. This will allow the squadron to be further strengthened on the battlefield in Mexico.
On April 8, Marshal Zhao Bowen personally arrived in Acapulco. Because, today, a group of the most important reinforcements will arrive. But the navy's transport ship came to the harbor, and a 'wolf', light tank in mí painted paint first drove off the transport. This tank belongs to the armored brigade under the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army!
