At four o'clock in the morning on April 28, Tepesi was still rumbling with artillery, and the U.S. troops were still desperately attacking the positions of the squadron in order to break through the interception of the squadron. In front of the positions on the north and south sides of Tepesi, a thick layer of corpses has already been piled up, and I don't know how many American GIs have lost their lives in front of the positions of the squadron.

U.S. Army General Davis set up his headquarters on a high ground less than eight kilometers from Tepesi. At night, Tepesi has already been bombarded into ruins by US artillery fire, and the orange-red fireballs are particularly eye-catching under the night sky. But even then, the US army was not able to break through the defenses of the armored forces of the Chinese Army, but suffered heavy losses.

"General, our offensive has failed again, the 59th Infantry Division at the front has collapsed, and the division commander has died!" A Major General officer of the U.S. Army reported to Admiral Davis. This is already the eighteenth attack launched by the US military this evening. But the final result, like the previous seventeen times, was repulsed by the armored forces of the Chinese Army.

"Damn! Let the 60th Infantry Division go up and attack in ten minutes! Our losses are heavy, the losses of the Chinese are not small, we will definitely be able to break through their defenses! Admiral Davis said harshly. After the armored forces of the Chinese Army occupied Tepesi, the U.S. troops were cut off, and the 12 U.S. armies trapped south of Tepesi had to break through to the north if they wanted to break through to the north. However, from 7 o'clock last night to now, a full 9 hours, the US military mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack in turn, and still failed to break through the defense line of the squadron, but caused heavy losses on its own. It's about to dawn. At that time, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force will definitely bomb the US military, and it will be even more impossible for the US military to break through the defense line of the squadron again.

"Yes, General!" The major general saluted and went to prepare. The current time is very precious for the US military, and Tepesi must be recaptured before dawn, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of US troops trapped in the south will be miserable.

It was at this time that a tall American, escorted by several guards, walked to the high ground, and Admiral Davis saw him. hurriedly greeted him and said, "General, why did you get to the front line?" "The person who came was none other than General Pershing, the supreme commander of the U.S. Army in Mexico.

"Davis, how's the battle on the front? Is it certain to break through the blockade of the Chinese? Admiral Pershing asked directly. There are still two hours to go, and it's about to dawn. If during this period of time, the US military will not be able to break through the blockade of the squadron. Then this attack can only end in failure!

"General, I have ordered the troops to prepare for the next attack! Although the Chinese resisted the attack in front of us, I think they will definitely not hold out for long, and the final victory will definitely be ours! Admiral Davis said. After all, according to the information obtained by the US military, the total strength of the squadron that occupied Tepesi was only more than 10,000 people. After 9 hours of hard fighting, the US military paid a heavy price. Obviously, the price paid by the squadron will not be small. It is very likely that the squadron that occupied Tepesi has also reached the end of its strong crossbow, and as long as the US military tries harder, it will be able to break through the blockade of the squadron. Open up the connection with the US troops in the south, and rescue the US troops trapped in the south!

Admiral Pershing nodded, but he was clearly not very optimistic about the battle ahead. The squadron ** team table xiàn out of the complete fighting spirit. He was very frightened. Although, the Chinese soldiers are thin and weak. They are far inferior to American soldiers, but their fighting qualities and skills, as well as their will to fight, are far from being comparable to American soldiers. Even with almost equal equipment, it is difficult for the US military to defeat the Chinese army, not to mention that they are now facing the ace troops in the Chinese army.

At this time, Tepesi has become a ruin, and the buildings in the town have almost been completely destroyed in the shelling of the American army, and tens of thousands of squadrons have fought against the American army in such ruins, repelling the American army's attacks again and again. The squadron guarding Tepesi originally reported six light tank battalions, six mechanized infantry battalions and one infantry regiment, and although half of the tank's armored vehicles on the road did not reach Tepesi due to malfunctions, the defenders here still numbered tens of thousands. But now, after 9 hours of fierce fighting, the squadron has also paid heavy casualties, more than half of the soldiers have been killed or wounded, and the ammunition and fuel are almost exhausted. Many soldiers even looked for weapons and ammunition from the bodies of American soldiers who died in battle, so as to achieve the purpose of saving ammunition.

Major General Shi Deyou, the commander of this squadron, was also full of anxiety at the moment, there were still two hours before dawn, and reinforcements were already on their way. An infantry regiment with a truck-out transport will be able to arrive in two hours at most. In addition, after dawn, Air Force fighters will also arrive to support. As long as they hold on to the two hours of the combination, they win. It's just that the last two hours are also the hardest time. The US military is not stupid, and they are well aware of the crisis they are facing, and they will definitely launch a more fierce attack in the last two hours. Major General Shi Deyou did not know whether he could withstand the attack of the US army. However, he has already made up his mind that even if everyone dies here, he must hold on to the end!

At 4:15 a.m., the U.S. Army once again mobilized an infantry division and launched an attack northwest of Tepe. At the same time, the U.S. forces southwest of Tepe, again dispatched an infantry division. Two infantry divisions and more than 20,000 American GIs, under the cover of heavy artillery, launched a fierce attack on the positions of the squadron. Affected by the terrain, on the defensive line with a width of only two kilometers, the US army's strength advantage could not be fully brought into play, which is also the reason why the squadron was able to hold on with a small number of troops!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Shells continued to explode on the positions of the squadron, splashing clusters of orange-red fire, lighting up the night sky.

"Flares, fire!" Less than a kilometer after the U.S. troops broke through to the defense line of the squadron, flares rose from the positions of the squadrons, illuminating the positions in front as if it were daylight.

"Fire! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! "The commander of the front shouted and gave the order.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "All sorts of artillery, mortars, infantry runners and tank guns, opened fire. Dense shells exploded in the ranks of the American troops, turning the American bombers on their backs.

"Da Da Da!" Light and heavy machine guns also joined the chorus, and the firing bullets were like a steel storm, tearing the fragile bodies of American soldiers to pieces.

The attacking American soldiers were heavily wounded and fell to the ground in rows and rows. However, more American soldiers were added and continued to advance. They are also getting closer and closer to the position of the squadron.

"Tanks! Armored vehicles! Advance! Kill all the Yankees! "In order to prevent the American troops from breaking through the position, the tanks and armored vehicles on the position took the initiative to attack. Tanks and armored vehicles, like monsters hidden in the darkness, rushed towards the American army with the sound of rumbling motors and creaking tracks. Although it was not the first time that the tanks and armored vehicles of the squadron had encountered them, the US army still had no resistance in front of these steel monsters, and the light ones were defeated.

Although, now the total number of tanks and armored vehicles that can be driven by the squadron is less than a hundred. But on the battlefield, it is still a force that can easily decide victory or defeat. The offensive of the American army was repeatedly crushed by the tanks and armored vehicles of the squadron.

The fierce fighting for Tepesi continues, but as time goes by, the chances of the U.S. military retaking Tepesi have become less and less likely.

At this time, on the field airfield in Iguala, although it was not yet dawn, it was already brightly lit. A large number of searchlights illuminated the entire field airfield as if it were daylight. Ground crews at the airport are busy, filling up fighter planes with fuel and loading bombs. After dawn, these warplanes will take off and head to Tepesi to support the hard-fought armored forces. The pilots were already ready, and they knew that the battle for Tepesi was very fierce, and the armored forces had suffered heavy losses under the attack of the American army, and they were in urgent need of support. After daybreak, they will fly their warplanes to reinforce Tepesi's friendly forces.

At half past five in the morning, a hint of fish belly white had appeared in the sky, and the light was about to dispel the darkness. And at this time, the US army was still unable to capture Tepesi. Moreover, the reinforcements of the squadron have arrived in Mexico City, and this news has caused some panic among the US troops.

"General, what should we do now? The Chinese are too tough, we will never be able to capture Tepesi! Admiral Davis said with some reluctance. To the southwest of Tepe, there are still twelve armies of American troops!

"There's no way around it now! Stop attacking! Let the soldiers from the south, discard all the rearmament, climb over the mountains to the west, and retreat north! It doesn't matter if the equipment is lost, as long as the person can escape the pursuit of the Chinese! Admiral Pershing said with a calm face.

"Alright! Checkmate! Admiral Davis nodded. No one knows how many of the hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the mountains west of Mexico City, which are more than 3,000 meters above sea level, will successfully escape back to northern Mexico!
