"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "After the armored brigade of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army broke through the positions of the American troops, it continued to eliminate threatening targets with tank guns. Machine gun fire points, artillery positions, these are all within clear range. The creaking sound of the tracks that accompanies the start of the tank makes people's scalps tingle. Soldiers from the mechanized infantry battalion also emerged from the armored vehicles, accompanying the tanks' armored vehicles to the left and right, using the tanks and armored vehicles as cover on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also responsible for clearing out the American infantry who wanted to attack the tanks and armored vehicles.

After a short period of exploration, the US military has already realized that in addition to large-caliber heavy artillery, the only thing that can pose a threat to the tanks of the armored corps of the Chinese Army is probably to bundle a large number of grenades into a bundle and use them to blow up the tank's tracks. After the armored units of the Chinese Army entered the positions of the US troops, many American GIs who were not afraid of death rushed towards the tanks of the Chinese Army with bundles of grenades. However, most of these American troops were wiped out by the machine guns on the tanks, and the few that survived were also cleaned up by the infantry who accompanied the fighting behind the tanks.

Under the blow of this tactic, the US army's counterattack was crushed lightly, and the US army, which was poor in donkey skills, had no choice but to retreat to avoid suffering a heavier blow. The infantry could flee quickly, but the heavy artillery was not something that could be walked away. The primary goal of the Chinese Army's armored forces was to clear the American heavy artillery and reduce the threat of American artillery to the Chinese defenders in Tepesi. While the armored units of the Chinese Army entered the artillery positions of the American army, the artillery of the American army was trying to find a way to move their positions.

"Da Da Da!" Machine guns rang out, and many American artillerymen fell in pools of blood. More U.S. artillery scattered and fled under the attack of the Chinese Army's armored units.

The Chinese infantry, who followed the tank battle, quickly used the shells left over from the position to blow up all the heavy artillery of the American army. After this qiē is done. The armored forces of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army retreated calmly. During this period, the U.S. military simply could not stop it.

After the heavy artillery of the American army was destroyed, the attack power was greatly weakened. Although, the other armies of the US army still have a lot of heavy artillery. But most of those forces have moved away from Tepesi, and it will take more time to regroup. This greatly reduced the attack of the US military.

U.S. forces flanked Tepesi from both the north and south, leaving the Chinese defenders in the area in a bitter battle almost from the start. If it hadn't been for the armored forces taking the initiative to attack several times, perhaps the defense line would have been broken through by the US forces long ago. But even then, the armored forces of the Chinese army paid a heavy price. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in the fierce fighting. Except for a small number that were destroyed by the U.S. military, most of them had to be abandoned because of a malfunction. At the same time, in order for the US military to transport the damaged tanks for study, the armored troops blew up all the damaged tanks and armored vehicles when they retreated. But even so. The U.S. military still transported back the wreckage of a lot of tanks and armored vehicles, hoping to find a way to counter the armored forces of the Chinese army. Another problem that has been reflected is that the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces of the Chinese army are still not reliable enough, and after fierce battles, many key parts will be damaged, and when there are no replacement parts, they can only be discarded.

U.S. troops want to be evacuated calmly. You have to break through Tepesi, who is guarded by the ** team. In order to be able to escape, the U.S. military amassed a large number of forces to launch an onslaught on Tepesi. In addition to the fact that the U.S. forces to the northwest of Tepe, which only had two corps, the U.S. forces to the southwest of Tepe, committed at least four corps, and this was before the main U.S. forces in Cuernavaca arrived in time.

In order to block the back road of the US military. The armored forces of the Chinese Army paid a heavy price. At the same time, other squadrons are also working hard. The commander of the 7th Army, General Du Qizheng, led the main force of the 7th Army and reinforcements of up to twenty infantry divisions were rushing to Mexico City overnight. Many of the soldiers fainted from exhaustion because of the long journey. Trucks and other equipment that were damaged due to the long march were even more lost. This war, in order to eliminate as many American troops as possible. The squadron still did its best.

In the direction of Cuautra, fierce battles continued. In the afternoon. Cuautra's outlying positions had all been lost, and hundreds of thousands of American troops were crammed into the city. The armored brigade of the 8th Army, having completed the encirclement of Cuautra, left the battle to the infantry behind and turned to the offensive against Cuernavaca. It was in this situation that the U.S. forces ordered the defenders of Cuernavaca to leave two corps to resist the squadron, and the rest of the main forces quickly retreated towards Mexico City. Admiral Pershing knew that if the retreat was not timely, it was very likely that he would not be able to pull it out!

The main forces attacking Cuautra have been replaced by Japanese and Korean mercenaries. The 8th Army and 10 infantry divisions of the Chinese Army were responsible for besieging Kuautra and preventing the American forces from breaking through. The task of attacking the city of Cuautra and destroying all the American troops fell to the Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries.

On the orders of Marshal Zhao Bowen, Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries launched attacks on the American troops in Cuautra from the east and west, respectively. This does not mean to put them in competition with each other. It is precisely because of this that both the Japanese mercenaries and the Korean mercenaries have worked hard to show that they are stronger than each other. And this makes it even more difficult for the US military to hold its position. After the outlying positions fell in less than two hours and at the same time were surrounded, the morale of these American troops in Cuautra was very low. Almost all the American troops already knew that it was impossible for them to break through from Cuautra. Left to them, there are only two choices, either die in battle or surrender, and there is no third way.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Marshal Zhao Bowen received a telegram from the front, which was the report of the Chinese army's armored forces occupying Tepesi and cutting off the American army. After receiving this battle report, Marshal Zhao Bowen's heart that had been hanging was put down. Although many U.S. troops have escaped, at least the main force has been left behind. After all these intercepted American troops were eliminated, the American troops in Mexico were also severely damaged. China will completely gain the initiative on the battlefield in Mexico, and the next step is to advance the front all the way to the northern part of Mexico, and even all the way to the United States!

"Someone, send a telegram to Major General Shi Deyou, commander of the armored brigade of the 7th Army. They were asked to hold Tepesi until reinforcements arrived, and not let the American troops escape from here. A telegram was sent to the commander of the 7th Army, General Du Qizheng, asking them to rush to Tepesi as quickly as possible to support Major General Shi Deyou and ensure the stability of the encirclement! Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered. The success of this campaign depends largely on whether or not Tepesi can be held. However, Marshal Zhao Bowen had confidence in Major General Shi Deyou. Although the total strength of the troops led by Major General Shi Deyou is only more than 10,000 people, they are all armored units except for the 231st Regiment. With the help of Tepesi's narrow terrain, it is not impossible to resist the attack of the American army.

Blocking the passage of US troops to the north is only the first step. Next, it is necessary to deal with all these American troops in order to achieve the final victory of the battle. Immediately, Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered all units to close the net according to the predetermined plan and eat all the American troops in the encirclement!

Cuautra became the main target of the squadron, hundreds of thousands of American troops were surrounded in this small city, and several breakthroughs failed to succeed, but suffered heavy losses, which further reduced the morale of the besieged American troops.

"Kill all the Yankees!" In the battle for the attack on Cuotra, the Japanese mercenaries invested ten divisions at one time. The same is true for North Korean mercenaries. Under the orders of Marshal Zhao Bowen, General Yoshimasa Oshima and Admiral Kim Soon-hwa have already taken out the strength to eat milk!

Cuautra was a small city, and the U.S. military began to fortify the city after using it as an important support point for the defense line in central Mexico. Strong barricades and fixed firing points were built on each street, and the streets on both sides of the street were lined with machine-gun firing points, and many soldiers were hidden in these buildings. After the enemy has entered Cuautra, they will launch a fierce attack on the enemy, causing the enemy to pay a heavy price under the layers of fortifications!

However, no matter how strong the fortifications are, they need to be supported. The U.S. forces defending Cuautra were demoralized after a crushing defeat, so don't expect them to be able to rely on these strong fortifications to show much combat effectiveness. Especially after organizing three breakouts, but they were all blocked by the squadron, this made many US officers and soldiers desperate. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the central defense line painstakingly built by the US military is completely like paper paste in front of the powerful Chinese army, and it will be broken with a light bucket, and the main forces of the US army have begun to retreat. Such news circulated among the US troops stationed in Kuautra, which greatly affected the US soldiers' will to fight. Everyone is thinking about how to escape from this ghost place and how to save their lives, not how to defeat the squadron. Perhaps, they don't have any confidence in this anymore. In such a situation, the defeat of the US army is already inevitable!
