"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the morning of March 3, the guns of San Luis Potosí had already sounded, and they had already controlled the squadrons in the east and south of San Luis Potosí and launched an attack on the American troops who were finally entrenched in the west and north of San Luis Potosí. This time the attack was even more fierce than in the past few days, and both the 11th Division of the Army and the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps had already invested all their strength, and even the guard battalions and reconnaissance battalions directly under each division were thrown into battle. Again, this is not the US military, which brings great pressure!

To the north of the center of San Luis Potosí is a church that is said to be decades old, called the Church of San Luis. It has also become a support point in the US military defense line. In this small church, the American army deployed two companies and more than 200 people. The walls and minarets around the church were full of machine-gun fire points of American troops.

In charge of attacking here was the guard battalion of the 11th Division of the Army. They were ordered to break through from here and then go straight behind the flanks of the American troops. However, now it is blocked by the defense line of the American army!

"Battalion commander, the division commander has given an order that we must take here within two hours!" A signal corpsman reported to the commander of the guard battalion. Obviously, after receiving the order from General Gao Chang, the 11th Division also put pressure on the troops on the front line!

"Dog's Day, this church is not big, but it is furnished like a fortress by the Yankees. The walls of the church and the houses. All of them are made of granite rocks. Light artillery can't gnaw at all! The battalion commander, Major Li Yu, said with a frown. He tried firing with infantry guns and heavy mortars from artillery platoons. But there is no damage to this church!

"Send a telegram to the division headquarters asking the artillery of the division headquarters to support us!" Major Li Yu said. Now, we can only try whether the 105-mm light howitzer or the 155-mm heavy howitzer of the division headquarters is useful!

"Battalion commander, the division headquarters replied, our traffic here remains the same, and heavy artillery can't be transported in at all!" The signal corps replied quickly. The 105-mm light howitzer weighs more than a ton, and the 155-mm heavy howitzer weighs more than two tons. You need to use a horse or a car to tow it. The roads in the city of San Luis Potosí were completely destroyed by fierce battles, and the light artillery may not be a problem in guò, but the heavy artillery is simply unable to move an inch inside the city, and can only be deployed on the positions outside the city, according to the instructions in the city, fire at some targets, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent accidental injury to one's own people!

"Holy shit, heavy artillery can't come. Just use the explosives pack! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that this turtle shell can't be broken! The artillery platoon was prepared, and the mortars and heavy machine guns of the various company platoons were all assembled. Demoman prepare, blow up this church for me! Major Li Yu said fiercely.

Soon, more than a dozen mortars and heavy machine guns of the battalion were assembled, along with six infantry guns, all of which came close to the church and opened fire. Suddenly, the dense firepower suppressed the American troops in the church, even if the American troops inside could fire through the shooting hole prepared in advance, but after all, they could not completely stop the attack of the squadron on the church!

Two demomen, leaping out from behind the position, bent on their waists, rushed towards the church. They carried two explosive packs weighing 15 kilograms, each containing 10 kilograms of TNT explosives, which was powerful enough to rival the shells of a 105-mm light howitzer!

After approaching the church, they were spotted by the defending American troops. Suddenly, a dense burst of bullets swept towards the two Demomen, forcing them both to crawl on their stomachs on the ground! The Chinese soldiers in the back, seeing this situation, were heartbroken.

The snipers were also constantly firing at the church, and all the American soldiers who dared to take the lead were all shot. However, the snipers were also helpless against the American troops hiding behind the shooting holes. If you want to shoot the American troops behind you through a small shooting hole, it is simply impossible!

"Da Da Da!" A volley of bullets swept in, and a Demoman rolled on the ground and was about to dodge. However, in the end, he was not able to dodge. A bullet hit him in the skull, leaving a bloody hole.

The other Demoman, after glancing at his comrades, did not have time to be sentimental, and immediately accelerated forward. If you want revenge, you can only blow up the church.

After a few minutes, dodging the hail of American bullets, the Demoman finally made his way to the bottom of the wall. Once the pack is secured, the Demoman runs behind him as soon as he pulls the fuse. At this time, a bullet fired from the machine-gun fire point of the American army on the spire hit him in the back of the heart, and he fell to the ground at once. However, on his face, there was a smile all the time.

"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out, and the explosive pack exploded, creating a large hole in the wall of the church.

"Fire cover, charge, rush in, kill the Yankees inside!" The battalion commander, Major Li Yu, immediately ordered.

Hundreds of Chinese soldiers, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed towards the church under the cover of mortar and heavy machine gun fire. In just 500 meters, dozens of people fell, but many more took the opportunity to rush into the church.

After that, it was a hand-to-hand battle, and bayonets and pistols became the easiest weapons. Even if the American soldiers are tall and tall, they may not be able to catch up with the Chinese soldiers in terms of their ability to fight bayonets! Although weapons are becoming more and more advanced, stabbing has always been a subject in the training of Chinese soldiers, and it is not a problem to defeat American soldiers with mutual cooperation.

Twenty minutes later, the American soldiers guarding the church were annihilated, and all but less than fifty surrendered were shot. After pulling out this nail, the guard battalion continued to rush forward.

Under the strict orders of the headquarters, the squadron that attacked San Luis Potosí made very fast progress. The U.S. army's defense line was frequently breached, and they could only keep retreating. And there is not much territory in their hands, and when there is no way back, there is only a dead end!

Within the command of the US military, John? Lieutenant General Bates was frowning, and a telegram had been sent from Major General Pershing that he had successfully destroyed the squadron's logistics base. But he couldn't be happy at all. He didn't believe that the squadron had not received the news that the logistics base had been destroyed, but instead of stopping, the squadron's attack became more violent, which made him already have a bad premonition in his heart!

"Damn, how can this be? The logistics base was destroyed, shouldn't the squadron retreat? "John? Lieutenant General Bates roared unwillingly like a beast on the verge of death!

"General, the Chinese definitely want to wipe us out before they run out of ammunition. Otherwise, after the rest of our armies are assembled, the Chinese will not be our opponents! Brigadier General Quincy replied worriedly. Now the shape of the front line is very unoptimistic, the US army is losing and retreating, and it will not last much time!

"How long can we hold out now?" John? Lieutenant General Bates asked with red eyes.

"General, the Chinese's attack is very fierce, our Second Army has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the remnants of the Third Army have also suffered heavy casualties. If the Chinese continue to maintain such attacks, I am afraid that we will not hold out tomorrow! Brigadier General Quincy said dejectedly.

"How so? To James? Major General Bell and John? Major General Pershing sent a telegram asking them to hurry back to San Luis Potosí! Lieutenant General Bates ordered.

"General, it's useless, whether it's Major General Bell or Major General Pershing, it will take at least three days to get back to San Luis Potosí. And we, at all, will not hold out on to their return! Brigadier General Quincy said.

"And, General, I think that Major General Pershing may have expected this qiē a long time ago, so he led his army to sneak attack the Chinese's logistics base, and let us resist the fierce attack of the Chinese!" Brigadier General Quincy hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Why? Why did he do it? Lieutenant General Bates' eyes shone horribly.

"General, you think, we are here to fight hard with the Chinese, and he led the elite troops to sneak attack the Chinese's logistics base. By the time we are wiped out by the Chinese, the Chinese will definitely have heavy casualties, and at the same time, the logistics base of the Chinese will be destroyed, and there will definitely not be much of their supplies and ammunition left. At that time, Major General Pershing will lead the army to attack the Chinese, and there will definitely be a great possibility of defeating the squadron. And at that time, he will be able to become a hero who defeats the Chinese, and we, I'm afraid, have already been killed by the Chinese! Brigadier General Quincy analyzed.

"That bitch guy, I knew he had bad intentions! So what do we do now? Lieutenant General Bates asked hatefully. Now, he no longer has any delusions about defeating the squadron and then becoming the chief of staff of the US Army. He had to save his life first! Otherwise, it's all empty talk!

"General, there is no possibility of victory in this battle, and if we continue to resist stubbornly, we will only have a dead end. Instead of using our blood to earn merit for others, it is better to save our own lives! Brigadier General Quincy said.

"What do you mean? Are we going to surrender to the Chinese? Lieutenant General Bates frowned. Although, for Westerners, it is not a shame to surrender to the enemy as a last resort, Lieutenant General Bates was somewhat reluctant. If he surrenders to the Chinese, even if he can return to the United States after the war, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue serving in the army! (To be continued......)
