About eight kilometers east of Hartiangis, Lieutenant General Clark, commander of the US 16th Army, was leading the retreat of more than 40,000 troops of the 16th Army, along with more than 20,000 remnants of the US 25th Army. It's just that, compared with the 16th Army, which still retains great combat effectiveness, the 25th Army has already suffered heavy losses in the continuous battles. This time, Lieutenant General George did not let them break off, so the 25th Army retreated with the 16th Army. Now the fool knows that staying in Hartian Gis will definitely not end well, and it is better to withdraw to Tiela Coronada as soon as possible.

"General Clark, the latest intelligence, Lieutenant General George is surrounded, the squadron has cut off their rear road, and has blocked the defenders who remained in Hartiangis!" The commander of the 25th Army of the United States Army said to Lieutenant General Clark.

"Damn! How did that guy George do it, didn't I tell him to retreat immediately if he couldn't resist the attack of the Chinese? Lieutenant General Clark couldn't help but curse. Once surrounded by the squadron, the outcome can be determined.

"General, what should we do now? Do you want to go back to the rescue of Lieutenant General George! The commander of the 25th Army of the US Army said. It's just that when he said this, his voice was a little quiet. It is clear that he was reluctant to go back to the rescue of Lieutenant General George. If you go back now, it's a dead end. finally escaped, and he was absolutely unwilling to go back to die.

Lieutenant General Clark took a deep look at the commander of the 25th Army, and then said: "Forget it, the Chinese offensive is very fierce, and with our tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to break the blockade of the Chinese." It's better to retreat! ”

Hearing Lieutenant General Clark say this, the commander of the 25th Army of the US Army finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lieutenant General Clark would ask to go back to rescue Lieutenant General George and others. Although he is also a military commander, he is only a major general, while Clark is a lieutenant general, and he is also a capable subordinate of General Pershing, so his status is naturally much higher than that of other army commanders.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! At this time, several shells fell in the ranks of retreating American troops, and several American soldiers were killed on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ground. U.S. soldiers who were raided. Suddenly, like a frightened bird, they scattered and fled.

"What's going on? Where did the shelling come from? Lieutenant General Clark hurriedly asked.

"General, Chinese, Chinese are chasing!" A junior officer said with some panic.

"How many Chinese are chasing?" Lieutenant General Clark asked. It stands to reason that the squadron is encircling and annihilating the American troops in Hartiangis. It is unlikely that too many troops will be sent to pursue them.

"Many, everywhere, our troops are fending off their offensive. But the Chinese's attack is very fierce, and we will almost be unable to support it! The junior officer said.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant General Clark hesitated, but gave up on meeting the squadron. In the unlikely event that the squadron was the main force coming to pursue, his 16th Army and the 25th Army, which had lost their fighting spirit, would not be the opponent of the main force of the squadron. After all. The squadron, together with the Japanese mercenaries, had gathered nearly 700,000 men in Hartiangis, and had sufficient forces to launch a pursuit. If it weren't for the terrain of the Sierra Madre do Sul, they might have broken through the American defenses long ago.

"You lead your people to stay behind and stop the Chinese. Buy an hour for the main forces! Lieutenant General Clark said to the commander of the 25th Army of the United States.

"Ahh The commander of the 25th Army of the US Army suddenly turned green. The Chinese are launching a fierce attack, and now let him lead the army to stay and stop the Chinese, isn't that looking for death? He didn't want to die like that.

"Listen, Your Excellency. Execute the order! Lieutenant General Clark said loudly.

"Alright, Your Excellency Lieutenant General!" The commander of the 25th Army of the U.S. Army said bitterly. What can he do? The official level crushes people to death! Lieutenant General Clark insisted that he lead his army to block the attack, what else could he say?

Soon, the troops of the U.S. 16th Army withdrew, and the remaining 20,000 men of the 25th Army formed an improvised defensive line on the road to Tierra Coroda to block the squadron's attack.

At Hartiangis, the squadron's assault was already coming to an end. Not only the remnants of Lieutenant General George's 11th Army were to be blocked two kilometers east of Hartiangis. More than 30,000 men of the 23rd Army of the U.S. Army were also intercepted in the process of rout. On the outskirts of Hartiangis, two encirclements were formed, and the remnants of the two armies of the American army, more than 50,000 people, were all surrounded here.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese mercenaries launched an attack on the encircled American troops, and after the encirclement, the American army's will to fight declined to the extreme. In particular, the 23rd Army, in the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese mercenaries, was quickly defeated. In order to save everyone's lives, the commander of the 23rd Army of the US Army chose to surrender. Despite this, the murderous Japanese killed many American soldiers who surrendered, hoping to avenge the death of their compatriots in battle. It was only after the squadron stopped them that they stopped killing prisoners.

"Protest, I want to protest to you, we have surrendered and we deserve to be treated as we deserve. You uncivilized barbarians dare to kill prisoners of war, this is a violation of international conventions, and you are condemned by the whole world! An American military officer was very dissatisfied with the killing of Japanese mercenaries and protested loudly.

"Smack!" A lieutenant slapped him in the face, then grabbed him by the hair and said in English: "Honestly, now you are just prisoners of war. In addition, these Japanese are mercenaries, and they are exempt from international conventions. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I replace all the people guarding the prisoner of war camp with Japanese mercenaries! ”

The threat of the lieutenant made the American officers and other American prisoners of war shiver, and if the prisoners of war were guarded by these murderous Japanese, then they would definitely have disastrous consequences. Although the Chinese are not easy to mess with, they are much better than those Japanese mercenaries, and they don't have to worry about being killed casually. Therefore, for a while, those American prisoners of war were all honest!

The officers and men of the 23rd Army of the US Army chose to surrender, while the 11th Army of the US Army chose to resist to the end. Lieutenant General George already knew that this time it was a complete defeat, but he was not willing to surrender to the squadron, but chose to resist.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells fell on the positions of the 11th Army of the US Army, more than 20,000 people were crowded in a narrow area of less than two square kilometers, and almost every shell fell and took several lives. The resistance of the American troops, under the fierce attack of the squadron, also appeared to be weaker and weaker.

"How's the situation at the front?" The squadron commander, General Zhao Bo, ascended to the No. 1 heights and watched the battle on the front line with a telescope from the heights. The surrender of the 23rd Army of the United States made the scale of the battle much smaller all of a sudden, and more squadrons and Japanese mercenaries, under the order, attacked eastward to pursue the fleeing American troops.

"My lord, the 23rd Army of the US Army has surrendered to us, but the remnants of the 11th Army of more than 20,000 people have chosen to resist stubbornly." Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"Oh? Are there still Americans who are not afraid of death? Admiral Zhao Bo was surprised. These Americans, in desperate situations, often choose to save their lives, rather than often die like the Chinese.

"The commander of the 11th Army of the United States, Lieutenant General George, was the commander of the American Army in the battle of Hartiangis. Probably because of the fiasco, I can't let go of my face! Admiral Du Qizheng said. In this battle, although the final results have not yet come out, it must be very rich, which makes the generals of the squadron very happy.

"Send someone to contact the U.S. military and get them to surrender! They don't have any way to live. Admiral Zhao Bo said.

Ten minutes later, a Chinese second lieutenant waving a white flag walked up to the position of the US troops, brought them a letter of persuasion from the Chinese side to surrender, and claimed that if the US troops did not surrender, the Chinese side would drop its heavy artillery and bombard the US troops, blowing them all to pieces.

Soon, the officers on the American forward positions sent the letter of surrender to Admiral George. Admiral George didn't even read it, and directly tore the letter of surrender to shreds.

"Sue those despicable Chinese, we are beauty, we have our glory, we will never surrender to them!" Lieutenant General George said loudly.

However, Lieutenant General George's actions made the other US officers very dissatisfied. Lieutenant General George doesn't want to live anymore, but they still want to live!

"General, we have no way to retreat now, and if we continue to fight, there is only a dead end. For the sake of everyone's lives, we are like Chinese surrendering! A brigadier general persuaded.

"No way!" Lieutenant General George flatly refused.

Half an hour later, the squadron, which had not received a reply, launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the American positions, and a dense number of shells fell, killing a large number of American troops. The besieged U.S. troops also had a strong desire to survive at this moment, and at the instigation of some officers, the U.S. troops mutinied. The mutinous soldiers surrounded the headquarters, arrested Lieutenant General George, and then gave the order to surrender to the squadron on the orders of Lieutenant General George. And Lieutenant General George chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun at that moment.

Lieutenant General George and his troops, who were praised by the President of the United States, turned out to be such a result. When all countries in the world learned of the war, US President Taft's face was like being slapped hard!
