Chapter 994: The Goal of the U.S. Army

"According to the information we have received, the U.S. troops are now gathered around Mexico City in a team of 150 people, a total of 30 corps, but the morale of these troops is relatively low, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly affected. In addition, reinforcements from the navy are also on the way, and it is estimated that there will be 20 armies and about 1 million people. Our logistical preparations are not expected to be completed until the end of this month. Therefore, the time for launching an attack on the US military is tentatively set around 25 rì of this month. Marshal Zhao Bowen said. The reason why the attack was postponed again was on the one hand to make preparations more thorough, but on the other hand, there was also a reason why the first battle established the absolute superiority of Mexico on the battlefield.

In the previous battles, the losses of the U.S. military were already very large, if they could swallow more than two million U.S. troops in the area around Mexico City, then the United States would be in big trouble, and the U.S. military would have little effect if it wanted to establish a defense line against the squadron in northern Mexico. Of course, if you want to eat the US army in one bite, it is not ordinary, even with the assistance of armored forces, it is the same. After all, the U.S. military in the area around Mexico City will increase by about 2.5 million troops.

The Chinese Army, on the other hand, is three fully replenished group armies, plus an unsubdued group army and 40 infantry divisions, with a total strength of more than 1.4 million troops, plus 500,000 mercenaries and 200,000 Korean mercenaries, and the total strength is only 2.1 million, which is hundreds of thousands less than the US army. Although the combat effectiveness of the squadron is stronger, and there is also the support of armored forces and the air force, it is still very difficult to completely annihilate the US army.

In addition, Mexico City is surrounded by high mountains, although it is conducive to encircling the US military, but if the US army breaks through these high mountains, it will be very difficult for the squadron to intercept it. Marshal Zhao Bowen hoped that in this battle, the main force of the American army could be left behind and annihilated, and this was enough. This is relatively less difficult for the squadron.

After listening to Marshal Zhao Bowen's narration, the generals couldn't help but nod their heads, and the time of the attack was set at 25 rì, which could make their preparations more sufficient. When breaking through the defense line of the US army in the South Madre Mountains, all units paid a certain price, and the soldiers were also very tired, so they could use this time to rest and recuperate, and those newly recruited recruits could also run in with the troops for a longer period of time, which was conducive to the combat effectiveness of the troops. As for the fact that the US military has more troops, this does not worry the generals. The outcome of the war is no longer determined by military strength, and the Chinese Army is fully capable of defeating the more superior US forces.

"Judging from the information we have received so far, the main forces of the US military are mainly in Cuernavaka and Cuautra. Now the U.S. military has deployed more than 15 corps in these two locations and has begun to build a strong defensive line. It can be expected that when the main force of the US army arrives, they will deploy more troops here! In addition, there were five corps in Puebla. The rest of the troops were deployed around Mexico City. In general, there are high mountains to the west, southwest, south, and southeast of Mexico City, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the U.S. military only needs to deploy a small number of troops to be able to stop our attack! The command's plan was to send a part of its forces to attack Cuautra and Cuernavaca, pinning down the main forces of the American army. Then, with the main force of armored forces, bypassing the high mountains of southern and southeastern Mexico, a direct attack on Puetra. After taking here, it quickly advanced to the east and north of Mexico City, and surrounded all the main forces of the American army here to find a way to encircle and annihilate it! Even if you can't wipe out all the U.S. troops here, you have to find a way to eat their main force! Marshal Zhao Bowen said. In the whole plan, time is very important, and it is necessary to block the main force of the US military in Mexico City before the US military feels the crisis. This requires a strong assault force, and the arrival of the armored forces has greatly strengthened the assault force of the squadron, and it is very simple to break through the traditional fortifications built by the US army!

Several commanders were discussing, and they were also shocked by the plan proposed by Marshal Zhao Bowen, who originally thought that with the assistance of armored troops, they could easily break through the defense line of the American army, and then continue to advance the battle line. But he didn't expect Marshal Zhao Bowen's appetite to be so big, and he actually wanted to swallow the troops deployed by the US army in Mexico in one bite. However, if this plan can really be completed, it will also be of great benefit to the squadron. At that time, on the Mexican battlefield, all the units of the U.S. army will be wiped out, and the squadron can achieve a decisive advantage on the Mexican battlefield. Moreover, even if the US military is frantically expanding its forces, the loss of hundreds of troops is enough to make the United States break its muscles and bones, and this will also be very beneficial to the complete defeat of the United States in the future.

"Marshal, this plan is too big? Compared with the US military, our strength is not superior, can we really swallow so many US troops in one bite? General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army, asked.

"It's a bit difficult to get rid of all the U.S. troops. I never expected that. Still, it is possible to encircle the main forces of the American army in Mexico City and then take them out. For example, the total strength of the US army in Mexico City will reach 50 armies, 2.5 million people, and we only need to eat 1.5 million of them! This is very beneficial for us in the future battle! Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

Everyone nodded, and although these commanders were no longer young, their faces were still flushed with excitement at the moment. Although in the battle in the Sierra Madre do Sul, the squadron also annihilated almost 150 American troops. But that was done after two months of fighting, and several campaigns were launched. This time, the Chinese and American sides will gather more than 5 million troops around Mexico City, which can be called the largest battle in history, and if it can really eliminate 150 or more American troops in one fell swoop, this battle will undoubtedly become a classic battle and be written into the history of world warfare. These generals will also go down in history because of this. Every Chinese has this kind of plot that hopes to be passed down through the ages, and for soldiers, if they can open up their territory and expand their territory, and at the same time leave a heavy mark in the history books, no one can refuse such a yòuhuò!

"Well, that's all for today's meeting! Let's go back and get ready! Remember, in the event of an attack, it is necessary to have as much supplies as possible, especially for the armored forces, and to ensure that they are sufficient. In addition, pay attention to secrecy, information about armored forces, must not be penetrated! Marshal Zhao Bowen advised. The armored forces are the key to the success of this plan, and ensuring the supply of the armored forces is the key to ensuring the victory of this battle.

"Yes, Marshal!" After the generals saluted Marshal Zhao Bowen, Yuguan walked out of the headquarters. Their hearts are very moving, and being able to participate in this big battle is also a huge credit for them. Maybe when the war is over and they retire, they will be able to be promoted to field marshal by virtue of these achievements.

After that, Marshal Zhao Bowen submitted the battle plan to the General Staff, and after the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Cai Yun, reported to the Emperor Wang Yuze, he passed Guò the battle plan submitted by Marshal Zhao Bowen. Wang Yuze and Cai Yun also saw that if this battle is won, it will definitely be able to play a decisive role.

On April 13, Admiral Pershing arrived in Mexico City and took over the supreme command of the US military in Mexico. He was accompanied by the ten armies of the U.S. Army. Admiral Pershing adjusted the deployment of American forces along the defensive line, focusing on strengthening the strength of American forces in Cuautra and Cuernavaca, increasing the total strength of the two cities from 5 to 22 corps, and Puebla from 5 corps to 8 corps. The remaining 20 corps are deployed south of Mexico City and can support Cuautra and Cuernavaca at any time. General Pershing also believes that the main direction of attack of the squadron will be here. After all, the terrain here is not good for the squadron on the attacking side, but it is much better compared to the Sierra Madre do Sul. This is also the closest line to Mexico City, as long as the U.S. defense line is broken, the squadron can go straight to Mexico City.

"General, can we resist the attack of the Chinese?" Admiral Davis asked with some suspicion.

Admiral Pershing shook his head, and then said: "I have never had the luxury of resisting the attack of the squadron, and everything I have done is to buy enough time for the United States." We held out for two months in the Sierra Madre do Sul defensive line, and if we can hold out here for three months or more, our mission will be accomplished! ”

Admiral Davis couldn't help but be silent, although Admiral Pershing's words were a little frustrating to hear, but it was the truth. The U.S. Army, to be precise, is too far behind the U.S. Army and the squadron, and it is very difficult to defeat or resist the attack of the squadron. Even if the U.S. military has a huge superiority in numbers, it will be difficult to win. The main goal of the U.S. Army is to buy enough time, enough time for the Navy, but also for its allies in Europe. As long as the Navy can win, or the allies in Europe can win, there is hope for the United States!
