The anti-tank units of the US army inflicted heavy damage on the armored units of the Chinese army, and this rumination was immediately sent to the United States. When the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Leonard. After receiving the telegram, Admiral Wood immediately sent the news to the Secretary of War, Elihu. Rout made a report. In this regard, Eli Hugh. Rout was also very happy, and immediately took Leonard with him. Admiral Wood went to the White House and asked Theodore. President Roosevelt made a debriefing.

"Your Excellency, the anti-tank weapons we have developed have been very effective, and in the attack launched by the Chinese armored forces this morning, our anti-tank units destroyed hundreds of Chinese tanks and armored vehicles. Our anti-tank guns have proven in real combat to destroy light tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese with lightness. If it hits the side or back of a Chinese medium tank, it can also be destroyed. Therefore, it can be concluded that our anti-tank weapons can already restrain the armored forces of the Chinese! "Elihu. Minister Root said.

"Haha, that's great, there's finally good news!" Theodore. President Roosevelt smiled happily. The successive defeats of the U.S. military made him very passive. Even if Woodrow. The Democrats led by Wilson did not get angry because of the defeat of the US military, but the pressure from all walks of life has always been difficult for him to bear. The Chinese Army's armored forces have always made the US Army frightened. I am afraid that their defense line will break through again and again than the squadron, and then attack the US mainland. If the U.S. military is unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army, perhaps the United States will lose this war. Now there is finally good news, the anti-tank weapons of the US army have proven to be a very effective weapon against the armored forces of the Chinese army.

"Your Excellency, I have ordered the arsenal to step up the production of these anti-tank weapons and send them to the front. And improvements were made against the shortcomings of the current anti-tank weapons. I believe that it will not be long before we will be able to have anti-tank guns capable of penetrating the Chinese's medium tanks head-on. Then we will no longer have to worry about the armored forces of the Chinese! "Elihu. Minister Root said.

"So, Your Excellency Minister Root, can we hold the Mexican line?" Theodore. President Roosevelt asked suddenly. If the battlefield could be controlled in Mexico instead of the United States, it would be of great benefit to the U.S. government.

At the very least, he can save the country from war, so that the people will not blame the government and him for it.

"This, General Wood, what does the Army Staff think about this?" Elihu. Rutte hurriedly asked.

"Your Excellency the President, it is very difficult, or impossible, to hold the line of defense in Mexico!" Leonard. Admiral Wood said. As Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, he was more aware of the situation on the front. Although the American troops at the front, relying on anti-tank units, repelled the offensive of the Chinese Army. But if you want to hold the line whimsically because of this, it is simply impossible.

"Why? We can now restrain the Chinese's armored forces, can't we resist the attack of the squadron? "Theodore. President Roosevelt asked. He wasn't angry, it was just an idea that struck him. If it succeeds, it will be great. But he won't let that make it difficult for the army.

"Your Excellency the President, we have only a million people on the front line in Mexico. And the Chinese have more than two million people, plus those mercenaries, the strength is 2.5 times that of ours! In addition, in terms of heavy equipment, we are far inferior to Chinese, and the Chinese of heavy artillery is twice as large as ours. Now the air supremacy on the battlefield in Mexico is still in the hands of the Chinese, and the Chinese can arbitrarily dispatch the air force to bomb our troops. Although the anti-tank unit repelled the attack of the Chinese, its own losses were not small, and they had already lost almost a third of their equipment and personnel. If the squadron continues to attack, our anti-tank units will eventually be depleted. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the front line to withstand the attack of the Chinese! "Leonard. Admiral Wood said. From these accounts of him, it has been shown that the US army is already at an absolute disadvantage on the battlefield in Mexico, and it is simply impossible to resist the attack of the squadron.

"Hmmm! It's a nuisance. What if we immediately sent the air force to the Mexican battlefield and transported a batch of anti-tank weapons? "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. Clearly, he hadn't completely given up on the idea.

"Your Excellency, this will take time. Even if anti-tank units were to be sent to the front from the Rio Grande front, it would take at least a week. And the Chinese will definitely launch an onslaught within this week. It's hard to say whether Admiral Davis will be able to hold out for a week. As for air superiority, it is very difficult for us to compete with the Chinese now. Yesterday morning, the Chinese army launched a large-scale bombing, and nearly 200 fighters we sent to the Mexican battlefield were almost completely destroyed, and hundreds of pilots were killed and wounded. At present, the army aviation has less than 500 pilots, and we must use them carefully. Now the 'Hurricane', [type fighter, we are not able to match the Chinese' FB' Haidongqing, fighters, therefore, the army aviation built yì, before the 'Hurricane, Pipa fighter' into service, to avoid a large-scale battle with the Chinese Air Force, in order to preserve strength! "Minister of War Elihu. Rout also said. In terms of aviation, the gap between the US military and China is too great, and the number of fighters can be easily compensated, but the pilots are not so easy to replenish. Therefore, the US military needs to economize on the use of pilots, and cannot afford to waste the slightest bit.

"Okay, I see. In that case, let Admiral Davis delay as much time as possible! In addition, let Admiral Pershing step up the construction of the Rio Grande defense line, I hope to be able to resist the invasion of the Chinese and keep them out of the territory of the United States! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said he had only now given up on those unrealistic ideas.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, we promise to keep the Chinese out of the United States!" Elihu. Minister Root and Leonard. Admiral Wood hurriedly said, Theodore. President Roosevelt gave up on the unrealistic idea of keeping the battlefield in Mexico, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, there is no need to waste the already modest strength of the US Army.

The U.S. War Department and Army General Staff commended the U.S. Army for being able to repel the attack of the Chinese Army's armored forces, and hoped that they would continue to maintain and resist the attack of the squadron. These verbal commendations made Admiral Davis and Lieutenant General Cole a little dissatisfied, and at the same time, it also showed that the U.S. military was still focusing on the Rio Grande defense line in the north. The line of defense they held on to was still secondary, just to buy time for the Rio Grande line.

On the morning of August 25, the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army resumed its attack on the US forces. This time, in addition to the 2nd Army's armor, infantry and artillery, the Air Force will also cooperate with their offensive throughout the entire process. Through the coordinated operation of many arms of the army, break through the defense line of the US army.

From 7 o'clock in the morning, the artillery of the 2nd Army and the artillery of the 8th Army began shelling the positions of the American troops. During the hour-long shelling, the forward positions of the US troops were repeatedly shelled, as if they had been ploughed several times with a plowshare. Although after the end of the squadron's attack yesterday, the US troops used the remaining time to strengthen their positions. But at this moment, the large-scale shelling still destroyed the fortifications they had worked so hard to build, and even some anti-tank fire points made of reinforced concrete were blown up in the shelling.

An hour of heavy shelling was so long for the American troops hiding in the anti-artillery holes. Whenever a large-caliber shell exploded around the anti-artillery hole, the anti-artillery hole would vibrate, which made the US officers and men hiding inside very frightened, and they were deeply afraid that the anti-artillery hole would collapse. If the anti-gun hole is blown down, they will be buried alive inside.

After the hour-long shelling ended, more than 100 fighters of the Chinese Air Force had flown over the US positions. It's just that these planes did not attack immediately, but circled high in the air. Among the hundreds of aircraft, except for the twenty FB' Haidongqing, fighters, the rest were HB' Hongyan, bombers and FHB' Falcon, dive bombers. In yesterday's battle, the US military took the risk of using heavy artillery units to bombard the armored units of the Chinese Army, and although it did not cause much damage to the armored units, it also aroused the vigilance of the Chinese side.

This time, dozens of HB' Hongyan, bombers, were prepared to suppress these heavy artillery units of the American army. As long as the heavy artillery units of the US army dare to take the lead, these hb'hongyan, bombers will be able to bomb them intensively. And dozens of other FH5' Falcon, dive bombers, were intended for the anti-tank units of the US army. After the offensive of the armored forces, they will bombard the anti-tank fire points of the American army, pulling out these nails.

At 8 a.m., the armored brigade of the 2nd Army attacked again. This time, in addition to the remaining forty or so TB' Cheetahs and medium tanks, another TP' Wolf, light tank battalion and one armored vehicle battalion were replaced. In addition, a regiment was drawn from the 14th Infantry Division to fight with the armored forces. This time the offensive took air-ground coordination and infantry and tan coordinated operations!
