"Chief of the General Staff, warn others that from now on, they are not allowed to spread remarks that are not conducive to unity, otherwise they will be punished for shaking the morale of the army!" Wang Yuze said with a cold face.

"Yes, Majesty, I see!" Chief of General Staff Cai Yun nodded, he knew that Wang Yuze was really angry this time.

Foreigners often say that the Chinese are good at internal fighting, and all their ingenuity is used in internal fighting, so that in external aspects, they have been suppressed by foreign countries. Wang Yuze also often heard such remarks before he was reborn, what 'a Chinese is a dragon, a group of Chinese is a group of worms'. Therefore, Wang Yuze will never allow infighting to occur in the army. Especially when a world war is going on.

"Admiral Zhao Bo, what is their specific plan? Let me elaborate! After getting angry, Wang Yuze asked after he calmed down. The squadron was blocked by the American defense line in the Sierra Madre do Sul, which made him very call-in. It is too difficult for the army on the front line to consume thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of supplies every day to cross the Pacific Ocean to replenish. If it continues to drag on, it will also be very detrimental to China.

"Your Majesty, the tactics this time were proposed by Admiral Xie Dingkun. In the battle of Hartiangis, they found that the Americans were very determined to hold Hartiangis, and after the occupation of Heights 1 by our troops, the Americans launched a fierce attack on Heights 1 for several days, completely without counting casualties. Therefore, Admiral Xie Dingkun and the others plan to take advantage of this opportunity to kill and injure the living forces of the US army as much as possible and create convenient conditions for subsequent operations! Chief of the General Staff Cai Yun said.

"Oh? Are Americans so stupid? Will they cooperate with us? Also, do we have large casualties? Wang Yuze asked. If that's the case. There was nothing wrong with the tactics implemented by Admiral Zhao Bo.

"At least so far, the Americans have not stopped fighting for Heights 1. In the past few days, they have left more than 20,000 corpses under Heights 1. And from what we've got, it seems that the U.S. government is also complacent about keeping us west of Sierra Madre do Sul. Cai Yun said with a smile. Although the current war situation seems to be very unfavorable to China, in fact, it is the US military that has really suffered a big loss. When the main forces of the American army were lost in the battle for the attack on Heights 1, the squadron was able to take Hartian Geis at minimal cost. At the same time, the heavy losses of the U.S. military are bound to affect the defensive operations in Tierra Cororada.

"Very well, send a telegram to the front. I support their tactics, as long as they are conducive to this war, there is no need to be afraid of other things, I have their back! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Here's what happened. Admiral Zhao Bo and a few of them can finally rest assured! Cai Yun said with a smile.

On February 4, Mexican time, the Chinese and American sides stopped fighting after a day of fierce fighting after the sun went down. For several days, the two sides seemed to have reached a consensus, and the fighting stopped as soon as the sun went down. In the fierce battle, the US army once again suffered heavy losses. The U.S. military also thought of taking advantage of the night to sneak up on Heights 1 so that they could capture Heights 1, which was occupied by the squadron, by means of a surprise attack like guò. However, the squadron was very well defended. Even at night, they don't let up. When the U.S. forces launched a night attack, the squadron's dense firepower gave them a head-on blow, leaving corpses on the ground. After that, the U.S. military abandoned this style of play. Zhengda and the squadron compete for the No. 1 high ground.

And the onslaught of the Japanese mercenaries on the No. 2 heights continued. It's just that in order to paralyze the U.S. military, the Japanese mercenaries did not do their best every time, and almost broke through the U.S. defense line several times. Drive the American troops off the high ground. But at the critical moment, the sun retreated. This made the arrival of the US military somewhat inexplicable. However, the U.S. military didn't think much about it, and it was always good to be able to hold the position. In fact, the main reason why the U.S. troops have not withdrawn from Haltiangis is that Heights 2 has always been under the control of the U.S. Army, which makes Lieutenant General George feel that as long as they can recapture Heights 1, then their defenses will not be porous, and they can use the two heights to suppress the squadron's attack on Haltiangis. This caused a large number of American troops to fall on the way to attack Heights 1.

Admiral Zhao Bo, who remained in Acapulco, also arrived at the Hartian Guiis front, and although he was far away in Mexico to command the battle, he also had his own channels of knowledge of the situation at home. When he heard that many people in the country were very dissatisfied with the squadron's offensive, he was also under a lot of pressure. It's just that he didn't change his tactics, because, overall, the current tactics are the most beneficial for the squadron!

"How's the battle going today?" Admiral Zhao Bo asked.

"My lord, Heights 1 is still under our control, and the Americans have lost at least 5,000 men in today's battle. However, compared with the first two days, the offensive of the US army seems to be weakening! Admiral Xie Dingkun replied. He also knew that the country was skeptical about them, and he was also under great pressure when he proposed the battle plan this time.

"That's good! The Americans are not stupid either, sooner or later they will understand our intentions. When the time comes, they will definitely change their tactics! Admiral Zhao Bo said. What the squadron has to do is to inflict as much heavy damage on the U.S. military as possible while the U.S. military has not yet reacted.

"My lord, according to the information we have received, it seems that the Americans have arrived with reinforcements in Hartiangis. There were only four armies stationed here, but the fierce fighting for several days caused the American army to lose tens of thousands of people and wounded even more. The U.S. military had to draw an army from Tirea Corolada to supplement the fighting here! Admiral Du Qizheng also said.

"Isn't that what we want to see? The Americans are constantly transferring troops from Tierra Colorada to Hartiangis, and this style of play will not help the current war situation at all, but will make the strength of the US military weaker and weaker. At that time, it will be easier for us to break through the defense line of the American army! Admiral Zhao Bo said.

"But, sir. This will make our battle in Hartian Geis take more time, and your reputation will not be terrible for your lords! Admiral Xie Dingkun said with some concern.

"It's okay, I'm sure His Majesty the Emperor will understand our tactics!" Admiral Zhao Bo said firmly.

"How much do we lose these days?" Admiral Zhao Bo then asked.

"My lord, in the past few days, the 2nd Army has paid the price of more than 3,000 soldiers killed, more than 2,000 soldiers seriously injured, and more than 4,000 soldiers slightly injured. There was hardly a division. In addition, the losses of the Japanese mercenaries were not small, and since the 28th of last month, their attacks have been very fierce, and they have fought white-knuckle battles with the Americans several times. The number I got from Yoshimasa Oshima was that more than 30,000 Japanese mercenaries had been killed, and there were no seriously wounded, and more than 20,000 were lightly wounded! Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

Admiral Zhao Bo nodded, although this loss is not small, it is also acceptable compared to the losses paid by the Americans. Although there is no exact number of U.S. casualties, it is speculated that the number of U.S. soldiers killed and seriously wounded should be between 30,000 and 40,000, and even more lightly wounded. The U.S. forces that were originally stationed in Hartie Angis had lost almost two corps of troops, and if it hadn't been for the redeployment of an army from Tierra Coronada to join the battlefield, the U.S. Army would have collapsed long ago.

"General, a telegram from the Chief of the General Staff!" At this time, a communications officer walked into the headquarters, his face full of joy, and it was obvious that he had read the contents of the telegram first.

Admiral Zhao Bo took the telegram and read it, the telegram was very short, only two lines of words, but after reading it, Admiral Zhao Bo let out a long breath, and a big stone in his heart was finally put down.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Admiral Xie Dingkun asked.

"The Chief of the General Staff said that His Majesty the Emperor already knew our tactics and recognized the tactics we had adopted. And encourage us to continue to fight according to our ideas! Admiral Zhao Bo said.

"Haha! I knew it would be like this, how could the emperor be deceived by those villains? Admiral Xie Dingkun laughed. This made his long-standing worries disappear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have the support of His Majesty the Emperor, we don't need to worry so much. Fighting bravely to kill the enemy and completely defeat the Americans is what we should pay attention to! Admiral Zhao Bo said.

"Yes, sir! I'm going to arrange tomorrow's defense, and I'm sure the Americans will be bleeding when they hit each other under our lines! Admiral Xie Dingkun said with all his might, Wang Yuze's statement undoubtedly gave them no worries.

At the same time, Lieutenant General George and Lieutenant General Clark, commander of the 16th Army, who had arrived from Tiora Corolada, were also frowning at the headquarters of the American forces east of Hartiangis. In front of them was a report of the battle damage of the week since the start of the war. It is clearly written that in this week's fighting, the US military killed 24,589 people, seriously wounded 23,454 people, and slightly injured 53,245 people, with a total of more than 100,000 casualties. Among them, the 24th Army had completely lost its combat effectiveness and withdrew to Chilpancingo to rest and recuperate, the 11th and 25th armies also lost more than half, but the 23rd Army, which defended Hartiangis, suffered little losses.

"George, it seems that we have fallen into the pit dug by the Chinese! These Chinese are too cunning and despicable! Lieutenant General Clark said!
