"Damn, that old fellow Bates, how could he order surrender to the Chinese? He made our hard-earned victory completely useless! I will definitely appeal to the Army Staff! Major General Pershing cursed viciously. John? After the surrender of Lieutenant General Bates, they could no longer return to San Luis Potosí. At the same time, their 30,000 U.S. troops did not have the strength to defeat the squadron, which made Major General Pershing very angry.

"General, what should we do now? San Luis Potosí is already occupied by the Chinese and we can't go there anymore! Brigadier General Davis, commander of the 43rd Division, said.

"To James? Major General Bell sent a telegram asking him to join us. Now, only when our two armies are united will we be able to confront the Chinese! Major General Pershing said. Before he knew it, he had put himself in the driver's seat. Anyway, Lieutenant General Bates has surrendered, and now among the American troops, only him and James are left? Major General Bell, the two commanders, it's just that Major General Pershing thinks that he successfully attacked Ocampo, which is much better than the First Army, which did not play a role in this battle, and now the American ** team in Mexico should be commanded by him. It's just that Major General Pershing didn't realize that his approach had caused James? Major General Bell was disgusted. In the U.S. Army, seniority is also emphasized. How can the young Major General Pershing command the more senior Major General Bell?

Really. James? After receiving the telegram from Major General Pershing, Major General Bell cursed a few words with great dissatisfaction. It's just that, because one division of the First Army had already been routed by the Chinese cavalry before, in order to avoid arousing the bad opinion of the Army Staff, James? Bell agreed to join Major General Pershing. However, the meeting place was chosen by them as Ojocaliente, northwest of San Luis Potosi. The First Army was less than twenty kilometers away, without the lag of the Chinese cavalry. It took them half a day to get there. And Major General Pershing's army is at least **ten kilometers from here. Meanwhile, James? Major General Bell also sent Major General Pershing a message free of charge that the Chinese cavalry had given up their delayed action against the First Army and was heading far to the southeast!

"Damn, the Chinese cavalry is targeting us!" After receiving James? After the telegram sent by Major General Bell, Major General Pershing's face suddenly changed drastically. He was sure. The Chinese cavalry gave up the attack on the First Army, and the target must have been their army, which had attacked Ocampo! Even, the squadron that captured San Luis Potosí must have been on its way. In the face of the attack of the squadron, the army of Major General Pershing will be in a very difficult situation!

"Send a telegram to Major General Bell. The meeting point cannot be Ohocaliente, but Pinos in the north! Major General Pershing ordered. Pinos was just over thirty kilometers from where he is now, almost at the midpoint between the two sides. Treat this site as a meeting place, for both sides. All very advantageous!

It's just that Major General Pershing's request was blocked by James? Major General Bell refused. Major General Bell claimed that the First Army suffered heavy casualties and that the material consumption was too high to reach Pinos, and that they would wait for Major General Pershing in Ohocaliente.

Major General Bell's reply made Major General Pershing angry, but he didn't have anything to do. He was the commander of the Third Army, Major General Bell was the commander of the First Army, and with only one infantry division left in his Third Army, he was not qualified to command the First Army at all! Even if Major General Pershing sent a telegram to the Army General Staff, it was not so simple to use the Army Staff to persecute Major General Bell. Major General Bell is perfectly free to delay.

As a last resort, Major General Pershing had no choice but to order the troops to continue their journey and rush towards Ohocaliente. If he is surrounded and intercepted by the squadron, what will happen to his army, which makes Major General Pershing unimaginable!

On the morning of March 4, the reconnaissance cavalry reported that scouts of the Chinese cavalry had been spotted in front of them. Scouts from both sides engaged in a brief exchange of fire, with no casualties on the Chinese side, while the scouts of the American cavalry left several corpses behind. The appearance of the Chinese cavalry suddenly made Major General Pershing feel a great crisis. The most direct thing is that the speed of their march will be greatly affected, and the squadron from San Luis Potosí will most likely catch up with them. When the time comes, they will not be able to fly. If you speed up, you are worried about being raided by the Chinese cavalry, and what happened to the 15th Division of the First Army is a lesson from the past!

"Order the cavalry troops to guard the perimeter and try to avoid fighting with the Chinese cavalry, we need to get to Ohocaliente quickly!" Brigadier General Pershing gave the order! Major General Pershing had four cavalry regiments, and after the first battle of Ocampo, there were nearly 4,000 cavalry left, but the cavalry brigade of the Sixth Army was more than twice as strong as theirs. Coupled with the difference in combat power between the two sides, if there is a battle, the cavalry of the US army will not have any advantage at all! Therefore, the cavalry of the American army could only escort around the main force, and did not dare to meet the Chinese cavalry!

Less than three kilometers away from Major General Pershing, Brigadier General Gong Zhiqiang, commander of the Chinese Cavalry Brigade, was also observing the US ** team with a telescope. After receiving the order of General Gao Chang, they immediately broke away from contact with the First Army of the US Army, and this morning, they finally discovered the traces of the US troops. It's just that the tactics that the U.S. military is now showing are a little tricky for him. The U.S. cavalry flanked the infantry and was supported by the infantry. If you attack, you will be hit by heavy fire from the infantry. Therefore, it is not easy to delay the actions of the US military!

"Brigade commander, why don't we wait until the evening and find another opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the American army! Defeat them like the 15th Division that defeated the U.S. Army before! "The commander of a battalion of the cavalry brigade built a yì road. The cavalry brigade's surprise attack on the 15th Division of the US Army made the cavalry brigade very satisfied with the defeat of a full-strength infantry division of the US Army in one night, which can be called a classic combat example!

"The same tactic cannot be used twice, the Americans must have taken precautions! Forget it, don't think about defeating this American army with our strength, we just need to delay their actions. The divisions took turns to send out battalions to harass the US troops and force them to reduce the speed of their march! We just have to wait until the main forces arrive, and we win! Brigadier General Gong Zhiqiang said.

Subsequently, the cavalry brigade launched a harassing attack on the American troops, and a battalion of cavalry launched a surprise attack on the American troops, which made the American troops have to stop and prepare for defense. However, when these cavalrymen rushed to the maximum range of the heavy machine guns of the American troops, they immediately changed direction and swept by, not giving the American troops a chance to engage at all.

The five cavalry battalions of the cavalry brigade were dispatched in turn, which greatly slowed down the march of Major General Pershing's army. Major General Pershing had sent a cavalry regiment to attack in an attempt to crush the harassing Chinese cavalry. However, after the American cavalry attacked, several other cavalry battalions of the Chinese cavalry brigade immediately joined the battle, and the American cavalry regiment was defeated and suffered heavy losses before fleeing. This also made Major General Pershing dare not fight back lightly!

On the night of March 4, after the U.S. troops set up camp, the Chinese cavalry also launched several harassment attacks, which forced the U.S. troops to strengthen their defenses and did not sleep well for almost the entire night. By the next day, all the American soldiers had big dark circles under their eyes!

Although the soldier's body is very good, he can't withstand such a toss from the Chinese cavalry!

By 6 March, Major General Pershing's army was still ten kilometers away from Pinos, but two days of harassment and attacks had made them very tired. In addition, there is also bad news that the main force of the squadron chasing from San Luis Potosí is already less than ten kilometers away from them!

"General, what should we do now? With the Chinese cavalry in front and the Chinese pursuers behind, it will be difficult for us to reach Ohocaliente safely! Brigadier General Davis said.

"Damn James? Bel! If the First Army could move south in time, we would not have encountered such a predicament, and after getting rid of this predicament, I must appeal to the Chief of Staff! Major General Pershing said viciously. It's just that he has to get through this difficulty first, otherwise, it may not be easy for him to return to the United States safely!

"Order the troops, stop advancing, build fortifications, prepare to fight the Chinese! At the same time, send a telegram to the General Staff and the First Army, informing them of our predicament, and asking the First Army to come to our rescue immediately! Major General Pershing ordered. Since he couldn't get rid of the encirclement and interception of the squadron, he could only fight with the squadron. However, Major General Pershing not only had no superiority in troops, but also did not have any superiority in weaponry and combat effectiveness. In order to sneak up on Ocampo, they only carried some light artillery. And in the pursuing squadron, there is likely to be heavy artillery! The Chinese artillery dragged the cannon with trucks, and the march was faster than the American artillery!

"General, now our situation is critical. I build yì you lead the cavalry to break through and rush to Ohocaliente. Only if you go in person, James? General Bell might just send troops! Brigadier General Davis said.

"But I'm leaving, who will defend this place to?" Pershing was a little moved by Brigadier Davis's mention!

"Don't worry, general, just leave the defense here to me, and I will hold out until reinforcements arrive!" Brigadier General Davis said firmly!

Major General Pershing hesitated, but nodded. At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, he led the cavalry regiment to break through to the north, perhaps, it would be more appropriate to describe it as fleeing! (To be continued.)
