Chapter 983: The Great Rout

"Marshal, break through! The front-line troops have just received news that we have driven the United States out of the city of Chilpancingo! General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, said excitedly. Although, in this battle, the losses of the 6th Army were not small, but on the whole, they still achieved a lot of victories, and they were finally disgraced, which made General Gao Chang very satisfied.

"Excellent! Order the troops to launch a pursuit, bite the Americans to the death, and don't let them slip away! Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered. As the war progressed, Marshal Zhao Bowen also moved his headquarters from Titra Coroda to Mazatlan so that he could keep abreast of the dynamics of the front line.

"Yes, Marshal!" Admiral Gao Chang immediately received the order. After taking Chilpancingo, this means that the US army's defense line in the Sierra Madre do South has been penetrated by the Chinese army. To the east from Chilpansingo, there are low, hilly terrain that will no longer be an obstacle to the Chinese army's offensive. The Chinese army can march straight into Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and make those shameful traitors pay a heavy price!

At the same time, in the command headquarters of the US army, Admiral Davis, the acting commander of the US front in Mexico, was also sitting in the final deployment. Chilpancingo was captured by the Chinese, the entire defense line has been broken through, if the US army does not want to be completely wiped out by the Chinese, then it must immediately abandon the defense line and retreat eastward. But at the same time, the retreat of millions of American troops also needs to be organized in an orderly manner and have enough time. Otherwise, the retreat is likely to turn into a rout under the pursuit of the Chinese Army. Therefore, the U.S. military needs to leave a force behind to buy enough time for the main force to retreat. And this unit, even if it is Admiral Davis's descendant unit, the 16th Infantry Corps of the US Army.

When Chilpansingo was captured by the Chinese Army and the mercenaries, Admiral Davis summoned the chief of staff and four division commanders of the 16th Army, and he explained to them the crisis facing the American army, which required all the officers and men of the 16th Army to make sacrifices for the sake of the American army. Although this is a bit cruel to the officers and men of the 16th Army of the United States. But the chief of staff of the 16th Army and several division commanders all chose to obey the orders of Admiral Davis. They assured Admiral Davis that they would hold out for more than two days at Sunpango on the riverside east of Chilpancingo to buy enough time for the main American forces to retreat. Of course, they also know how dangerous it is to stay and break off. The Chinese Army will certainly not watch the main force of the US military slip away, and they will face the fiercest attack of the Chinese Army. After two days, no one knows how many troops will be left of the US 16th Army, and it is even possible that the entire army will be wiped out here.

"Thank you, I'll ask the staff for your honor. After two days, you can choose to retreat or surrender to the Chinese, depending on the situation! Admiral Davis said with red eyes. The 16th Army is his descendant unit, and it is impossible to say that he is not sad to see his men go to their deaths. However, he is now not only the commander of the 16th Army, he is also the commander of the American forces on the Mexican front, and he must think about the interests of the whole. Someone had to make a sacrifice for this, and the 16th Army undoubtedly became the most suitable candidate!

After Admiral Davis had given this explanation, he immediately retreated eastward. More than 50,000 men of the 16th Army of the U.S. Army entered the fortifications that had already been built by Sun Pango on the riverside. It is not impossible to rely on the strong fortifications here to withstand the attack of the Chinese army. Riverside Sunpango is located east of Chilpansingo, still in the valley. It's just that the mountains on either side are not as steep as Chilpancingo. As early as the time of the great battle in Chilpansingo, the American army was already building fortifications here. At that time, Admiral Pershing had already regarded this place as a report of war for the American army and needed to retreat to the east, and the remaining troops could rely on the fortifications here to complete the task of blocking the enemy.

During the retreat, Admiral Davis did not forget to send a telegram to the U.S. Army General Staff, describing the danger he was facing. The Southern Madre defense line has been broken through by the Chinese, and in order to preserve his strength, he certainly has the right to give orders in favor of the American army. It's just that when the U.S. Army General Staff was confused by this sudden battlefield shape. Although they were very dissatisfied with Admiral Davis's order to retreat, they could only pinch their noses and admit it. Now that it's done, there's no way they can stop it.

On the afternoon of March 30, after the capture of Chilpancingo, the Chinese army and the mercenaries did not stop there, but continued to pursue the American troops. At this time, the U.S. troops were retreating, and it was a great opportunity to pursue the U.S. troops. If the tactics are appropriate, they will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the US military. You know, these all mean military exploits! The commander of the mercenary army, General Yoshimasa Oshima, was even more shocking, assuring Marshal Zhao Bowen that the mercenaries would definitely drag the American army and give the main force a chance to destroy the enemy on a large scale. Zhao Bowen Yuan agreed to have the mercenaries take the lead attack. Under the order of General Yoshimasa Oshima, the mercenaries of the four divisions launched a fierce pursuit of the American troops, and in the eyes of these mercenary soldiers, those American troops who were fleeing and had lost the courage to continue fighting completely meant military merit! After gaining military merits, they will be able to receive more rewards, and they will be able to live a better life after the war.

"Rush! Come on! Catch those white ghosts and don't let them slip away! The soldiers of the mercenaries, like wolves in heat, howled and chased after the retreating American troops. However, when they chased Sunpango Binhe, they crashed headlong into the 16th Infantry Corps after the US army, and the head was bleeding, and they had to ask the Chinese side for support.

Of course, the mercenaries did not want to watch the huge battle achievements slip away, and they launched several fierce attacks on the American 16th Army. However, they were all fended off by the American army, which relied on strong fortifications. The mercenaries had no heavy weapons, so they had to stop their advance for the time being

After receiving the news from the front, the commander of the mercenary army, General Yoshimasa Oshima, once again asked to see Marshal Zhao Bowen.

"Lord Marshal, the Americans are too despicable, they have built strong fortifications on the banks of Sun Pango, and left Jīng Rui troops to defend it. We will not be able to break through the defenses of the US army in a short time! General Yoshimasa Oshima reported to Marshal Zhao Bowen with a blue face.

Marshal Zhao Bowen frowned, he knew that the U.S. Army would definitely leave the troops behind, but he didn't expect that the U.S. Army would leave the broken troops so powerful, he knew that if it wasn't really in trouble, the mercenaries would not take the initiative to ask for support.

"General Oshima, don't worry, I'll send the artillery to support you at once. In addition, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force are also on their way, and they will cover for your firepower when the time comes! Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

"Yes, Marshal!" General Yoshimasa Oshima left happily.

After General Oshima left, the commander of the 2nd Army, General Xie Dingkun, walked in and delivered the latest information.

"Marshal, our fighters have detected the movement of American troops. Now the main forces of the American army have reached Vichuko, a hundred kilometers away. It seems that the Americans have long expected that they will not be able to resist our attack at Chilpancingo, and have secretly withdrawn the Jīng Rui troops a long time ago! Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"The Yankees of the dog rì don't seem to be stupid!" Marshal Zhao Bowen couldn't help but scold. Although breaking through the defense line of the American army in the Sierra Madre do Sul is already a great achievement for them. However, seeing that the US military can be inflicted heavy losses, and now watching the US troops flee, this is undoubtedly watching the war exploits slip away! For Marshal Zhao Bowen and the other squadron commanders, it was unacceptable.

"Send a telegram to the Air Force and bomb the retreating US troops with all their might, we can't let them evacuate so lightly!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said. If the US military continues to retreat eastward, perhaps by tomorrow, the main force of the US military will escape from the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force's fighters, and today and tomorrow morning will already be the only chance for the Chinese Air Force.

"Yes, Marshal!" Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

In the sky, a group of more than 100 fighters, bombers, and dive bombers was flying rapidly eastward. Originally, they planned to bomb the American troops on the riverside Sunpango, but after receiving orders halfway, they changed their battle plan and continued to fly east. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Air Force group caught up with the main force of the US army, which was retreating.

The fighter jet roared down and swept towards the retreating American troops, and the bullets from the aviation machine guns were enough to break the human body in two, and many American soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

HB' Hongyan, the bomber, flew over the head of the American army and dropped all the bombs it carried. Although the bombers' bombing accuracy was not high, the American troops were concentrated in the valley at the moment, and they undoubtedly became the best targets. In addition, the bombers can carry a ton of bombs and 20 50-kilogram aerial bombs, which will undoubtedly be able to exert great results in the dense ranks of the US military.

As for the FH5' Falcon, the dive bomber, it is even more of a nightmare for the US military. Every dive can make the US troops tremble, and many US troops directly abandon the main road and flee to the mountains and forests on both sides.

The withdrawal of the US troops from Chilpansingo, the morale of the US troops was extremely low, and after being bombed by the Chinese Air Force, it collapsed in an instant. A large number of U.S. troops abandoned their weapons and fled. This has gradually spread to the entire retreating US army!
