"General, Commander Du is calling, the 232nd Regiment is only half an hour away from us, let's hold on for another half hour!" A communications officer reported to Major General Shi Deyou with a telegram on his face.

"Are reinforcements finally coming? Great, go and sue the sù brothers, hold on for another half an hour, and we will win! Major General Shi Deyou's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise. His eyes were red, and he had not rested for two days and two nights since the start of the attack on Puebla on April 26, and at the same time he was under tremendous pressure, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and his face was full of fatigue. Fortunately, now that the reinforcements are finally coming, he has successfully completed the task assigned by General Du Qizheng, and the only regret is that in this battle, the losses are too great. There are more than 10,000 people in total, and only about 3,000 are still intact so far.

"Brigade commander, the Americans have retreated! They all retreated! At this moment, a captain officer rushed into the headquarters and shouted loudly. He was covered in gunsmoke, and his clothes were stained with dried blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or the enemy's.

"The Americans retreated? What's going on? Major General Shi Deyou suddenly stood up from the stool and asked in surprise. After a night of hard fighting, these Americans are actually retreating now, have they already given up?

"I don't know, but the Americans have really retreated. The Americans in the north have all retreated, and the Americans in the south have also retreated! It seems that they knew that our reinforcements were coming, so they retreated! The captain company commander said.

Major General Shi Deyou nodded, and now it seems that the Americans are about to dawn in the sky. Thinking that he could not recapture Tepesi, he simply retreated. But this made Major General Shi Deyou very puzzled, are the Americans going to give up the hundreds of thousands of American troops south of Tepesi? Even if it requires a strong man to break his wrist, such a loss is inevitably too heavy!

"Brigade Commander, shall we launch a pursuit? Now is the time to beat up the reservoir dogs! "The captain and company commander were a little eager to try. His company had a total of 200 men, but after a night of fierce fighting, the strength was now a little more than a platoon, which shows how great the losses were.

Major General Shi Deyou shook his head, although now he was victorious. But that didn't make him get carried away by the victory. Now Tepesi's squadron is only three or four thousand people, and after a night of hard fighting, whether it is ammunition or fuel, it is almost consumed. There are not many tanks and armored vehicles left that can continue to operate. In addition, the soldiers were also very tired. In such a situation, go after the American army. Especially if the US military has enough superiority in troops, what is the difference between that and looking for death. If the U.S. military kills a horse pistol, not only will they be in danger of annihilation, but even Tepesi may be returned by the Americans more often. At that time, hundreds of thousands of American troops in the encirclement will take the opportunity to escape. If that were the case, he would be the sinner of the whole army, except to thank the world with his death. I guess there is no other way. Therefore, Major General Shi Deyou ordered all units to hold their positions and not to pursue until they received an order.

Six o'clock in the morning. The 232nd Army Regiment arrived in Tepesi. The arrival of an infantry regiment strengthened Tepesi's defenses. The arrival of the new force also allowed Major General Shi Deyou and their hard-fought troops to rest for a while.

The U.S. military has completely given up on retaking Tepesi. Admiral Pershing led the U.S. troops from Mexico City and around Mexico City toward the retreating U.S. troops from Cuernavaca. It is divided into multiple roads, leading to the Guò mountain road. Climb over the mountains west of Mexico City to evade the pursuit of the squadron. This war once again ended with the defeat of the US army. And in a very short period of time, the central defense line that the US military painstakingly built was destroyed.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese Air Force fleet arrived over Tepesi, but there was not a single American military in front of the position. Under the guidance of the ground army, the group continued to fly north, catching up with the retreating US troops, and once again inflicted heavy losses on the US troops. At the same time, when the group returned, it also found US troops all over the mountains. It's just that the squadron is very far away from these American troops, and at the same time, the mountain roads are relatively narrow, so it becomes very difficult to catch up with these American troops.

At 9 a.m., the 7rd and 23rd divisions of the 70th Army arrived in Tepesi. After the strength was strengthened, General Du Qizheng ordered the two divisions to begin to pursue the troops to see if they could bite the tail of the American troops and keep the American troops as much as possible. Regardless of fatigue, Major General Shi Deyou led more than 30 T4 'Wild Wolf' tanks and more than 20 Z4 wheeled armored vehicles that were still able to operate, and became the vanguard of the whole army to pursue the US troops along the road.

It's just that the speed of the US army's retreat is not slow, especially after abandoning a lot of heavy equipment, the US army's retreat is much faster than before. In addition, after the retreat of the American troops, the Mexicans who had fled to the north along the highway were also congested on the highway, which greatly delayed the pursuit speed of the squadron. Although, these Mexicans were very afraid of the squadron, and after seeing the tanks and armored vehicles of the squadron, they scattered one by one and fled for their lives, and even prayed to God in horror. The tanks and armored vehicles of the squadron, in the eyes of these ordinary Mexicans, are no different from defending against the devil inside. In particular, the dark appearance reminded them of some kind of legendary monster.

On the afternoon of April 28, Major General Shi Deyou had already led his army to capture Querétaro, an important town north of Mexico City. In fact, there is no longer half of the American army here, the American army has already withdrawn before the arrival of the squadron, and the local Mexicans have almost fled. The squadron occupied this important town without a single soldier.

When Major General Shi Deyou arrived in Querétaro, the commander of a tank company reported to Major General Shi Deyou that this time they had caught a big fish.

"Big fish? What big fish? Did you catch Admiral Pershing? Major General Shi Deyou asked in surprise. In his opinion, in the entire Mexican battlefield, it is estimated that only the highest-ranking generals like General Pershing can be regarded as big fish.

"Brigadier, don't be sarcastic. We wanted to catch that old fellow Pershing, but that old boy was faster than a rabbit, and we chased it for so long that we didn't even find a single hair, let alone catch it! The commander of the tank company said with some frustration.

"Tell me, who did you catch? Lieutenant general of the US military? Or a major general? Major General Shi Deyou said with a smile.

"Hey, brigade commander, we captured the president of the Mexican government, that guy from Madero. There are also two ministers, namely Secretary of Commerce Taylor and Secretary of the Treasury Karls. In addition, we seized a large amount of gold and jewels from their carriages. According to preliminary estimates, there must be at least 100 tons of gold! The tank company commander said.

"What? Hundreds of tons of gold and jewelry? Major General Shi Deyou can't be calm at this time. Hundreds of tons of gold are worth tens of millions of dollars! With the other jewels, it's a priceless thing! Now that the empire is at war, the military expenditure every day is like running water, and being able to catch so much loot is of great help to alleviate the tension in military spending.

"Take me there. In addition, I ordered people to guard all these things, and no one was allowed to keep them private without my orders, and these belong to the state! Major General Shi Deyou said sternly. These booty, according to the regulations, will be handed over to the state treasury. Of course, after the end of the war, His Majesty the Emperor would also give some rewards to the soldiers.

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The commander of the tank company hurriedly said.

After seeing the gold and preparations in person, Major General Shi Deyou specially sent several tanks and armored vehicles to guard them, and sent a telegram to General Du Qizheng, asking General Du Qizheng to take charge of these things. As for the Mexican Government, Madero and the two ministers, no one paid attention. These traitors, without thinking about it, know that they will not end well. China has never been soft on traitors.

After seeing the Chinese general, Mexican President Madero wanted to explain something, but Major General Shi Deyou could not hear Spanish, and directly asked all these Mexican government officials to be taken under guard. After seeing the reaction of the Chinese general, Mexican President Madero was heartbroken. The Chinese side did not even give him a chance to explain, so one can imagine what kind of treatment he will receive.

After capturing Querétaro, Major General Shi Deyou prepared to continue the pursuit north. See if you can catch up with the U.S. military. Anyway, behind them, the main forces of the 7th Army were heading north, and they were not afraid of a counterattack by the American army. However, a telegram from the Mexican Battlefield Command forced him to stop the pursuit.

The supreme commander of the squadron in the Mexican battlefield, Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit, and Major General Shi Deyou and the troops who arrived behind were responsible for the defense of Querétaro. Other units were responsible for encircling and annihilating the U.S. forces in the encirclement. As for the offensive into northern Mexico, it has been put on hold for the time being. Such an order made the generals on the front line very puzzled. Seeing that the U.S. military has been severely damaged, and there are not many troops left, now is a good opportunity to crush the U.S. military in one fell swoop, and even invade the U.S. mainland! Why stop the pursuit?

Of course, there are still hundreds of thousands of American troops resisting in Cuautra, but it is enough to solve it with the squadron there and the mercenaries of Japan and North Korea. With the strength of the two group armies commanded by General Du Qizheng and General Xie Dingkun and the strength of 20 infantry divisions, it is enough to launch another fierce attack on the heavily damaged US army!
