"The Chinese Empire is onboard! Kill all these white ghosts! "A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers broke through the positions of the American troops, armed with rifles loaded with bayonets, and killed the American troops, and engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle with the American troops.

A Japanese mercenary junior officer, with a katana in his hand, kept waving, cutting down one American soldier after another to the ground. The American soldiers were tall and tall one by one, but in hand-to-hand combat such as fighting bayonets, Gen was no match for the Japanese mercenaries. The ability of the Japanese to fight bayonets is considered first-class in the world.

After the 18th Division of the Japanese mercenaries attacked the positions of the American troops, the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Yoshimasa Oshima, once again sent a division into the battle. The reinforcements of the American army were intercepted by the artillery of the Chinese army, and when they passed through the barrage of shells, they suffered heavy casualties. Although nearly half of the U.S. troops successfully passed through the barrage, the U.S. military could not resist the tough Japanese mercenaries and the Japanese mercenaries who received reinforcements.

After an hour of fierce fighting on Heights 1, all the American troops on the heights were cleared, and only a few people managed to escape, and most of them died on the heights. Some people chose to surrender, but there were not many of them, less than a thousand. Of course, there were also some Japanese mercenary soldiers with a tyrannical temperament, and they also killed those American soldiers who surrendered.

"Yo Xi, the soldiers of the Japanese mercenaries are really good. Those white ghosts are just relying on their weapons to be better, so that they can fight the mercenary soldiers like real samurai. It must be them who fail! Seeing that the No. 1 high ground had been occupied, the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Yoshimasa Oshima, laughed excitedly. At the same time, he hurriedly rushed to the headquarters of the squadron and reported the good news to Marshal Zhao Bo. Marshal Zhao Bo is the Minister of War, and he, the commander of the Japanese mercenary army, of course has to work hard to stammer!

"Lord Marshal, we have already taken the No. 1 Heights, please give us instructions for the next step!" Yoshimasa Oshima bent over with a flattering smile on his face.

"Let your people guard the No. 1 heights, and you must not let the Americans snatch the No. 1 heights back! Our artillerymen will provide you with fire support! Marshal Zhao Bo said.

"Yes. Your Excellency Marshal, I'll make arrangements! I promise, I'll hold on to Heights 1! General Yoshimasa Oshima patted his chest and reassured. After getting Marshal Zhao Bo's instructions, he went to carry it out.

"Marshal, should we take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the other two heights of the American army and the city of Tira Cororada. Fierce battles these days. The U.S. military has already lost at least a hundred thousand people. Although they still have more than 300,000 troops, they will not be able to resist our attack at all when their morale is extremely low. General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army, said in a row.

After the squadron took high ground No. 1, Tierra Corolada was revealed in front of the squadron, and if the squadron wanted to, it could immediately attack here. However, Heights 2 to the east of Tierra Coroda and Heights 3 to the south are still under the control of the U.S. military. The city of Tira Coroda is also within the fire range of these two highlands, and if it launches an attack, it will definitely suffer heavy losses once it is hit by American fire.

"Marshal. We can take all the surrounding heights and then attack the city, as we did in the Battle of Hartiangis! In this case, we will pay much less casualties! General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army of the Chinese Army, said.

"The offense is definitely going to be attacking. Now air supremacy is back in our hands. The morale of the US military has fallen, and there is no longer any doubt about defeating the US army. Merely. I hope we can win at the lowest cost. And, I hope to get a big win! Marshal Zhao Bo said. The current shape is very unfavorable for the US military, and he is worried that the US military will take the opportunity to retreat. After all, there are still more than 300,000 U.S. troops here, and if these U.S. troops are allowed to retreat to Chilpansingo, plus Chilpancingo still has 300,000 U.S. troops, the squadron will have to pay a heavy price if it wants to break through the defense line of the American army!

"Does the marshal mean to block the retreat of the US troops and encircle and annihilate all the more than 300,000 US troops here?" Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

Marshal Zhao Bo nodded, and then said: "Only in this way can we inflict heavy losses on the US army!" The next attack on Chilpancingo will be even easier! ”

"Okay, marshal, the task of blocking the retreat of the American army will be entrusted to our 2nd Army! I promise not to let a single American soldier escape from our lines! Admiral Xie Dingkun said. The Second Army had lost some of its forces at the previous Battle of Hartiangis, but overall it was not wounded. However, the task of blocking the rear route of the US army is very arduous, and it will not only be attacked by the encircled US troops, but also by the US troops from Chilpansingo. After all, Admiral Pershing would not have watched more than 300,000 U.S. troops being encircled and annihilated by the squadron, and once these U.S. troops were surrounded and annihilated by the squadron, the U.S. Army's defense line in the Southern Madre Mountains would be shaken. It is conceivable that when the US troops in Tiela Corolada are surrounded, what a crazy counterattack the US army will launch!

Marshal Zhao Bo looked at General Xie Dingkun, and from his eyes, he saw a determined look, so he nodded: "Okay, the task of intercepting the US army and intercepting the reinforcements in the direction of Chilpancingo will be handed over to the 2nd Army, and I will let the Air Force provide you with support!" ”

"Please rest assured, the 2nd Army will definitely complete the task!" Admiral Xie Dingkun said firmly.

"Excellent! The 2nd Army moved this evening. After the 2nd Army blocked the rear roads of the American troops, we launched a general attack on the American troops. The 7th Army will be the main force. Although the Japanese mercenaries are strong in combat, their equipment is too far behind after all, and we can't rely on them completely! Marshal Zhao Bo said.

"Yes, marshal, the 7th Army is already ready for battle!" Admiral Du Qizheng also said.

Irona Corollada, the headquarters of the U.S. Army, Lieutenant General Clark is facing the map with a sad face. Heights 1 has been captured by the Chinese, which makes a huge hole in the defense line of Tiela Cororada, and the urban area of Tiela Corolada has also been exposed to the Chinese. Moreover, what is even more serious is that after losing air supremacy, the Chinese air force can bomb Tila Corolada with impunity, which will undoubtedly bring huge casualties to the US military and declining morale. Although the U.S. military still has hundreds of thousands of troops in Tierra Cororada, as the war progresses, the huge number of troops will be just lambs to the slaughter once they lose their fighting spirit. And if the US military wants to regain air supremacy, there is no possibility at all. After the appearance of the fighter unit of the Chinese Air Force, Lieutenant General Clark had already lost any hope. Although the United States can build more airships, it cannot come up with fighters that can compete with the fighters of the Chinese Air Force in a short period of time. This will make the sky dominated by the Chinese for a long time, and it is almost impossible for the US military to regain its inferiority.

"Damn, how could the Chinese have such a powerful fighter, it's just a rotten country! How could it have grown so strong in less than twenty years? Lieutenant General Clark scolded through gritted teeth. As long as he thought that the US airships were constantly being shot down by the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, his heart was filled with anger! In his mind, China is nothing more than a decadent feudal country, and the Chinese still have pig's tails behind their heads. Although China has defeated Western powers in wars in the past, Western countries often slander and slander China in the media, which makes China's image in the West very bad.

"Perhaps, it's time to give up on this place and retreat to Chilpancingo. Otherwise, it's too late! Lieutenant General Clark said. From today's squadron to seize the No. 1 heights, he felt a deep crisis. The Chinese seem unwilling to continue like this after half a month of stagnation in Irona Colorada. And this is an extremely dangerous signal for Lieutenant General Clark, with these American troops in his hands whose will to fight is almost broken, it is impossible for him to resist the attack of the squadron.

Lieutenant General Clark organized troops to defend the city of Tyrana Corollada, while holding on to the other two heights to prevent them from being captured by the Chinese. At the same time, a telegram was sent to Admiral Pershing, asking him to allow him to lead his army to retreat to Chilpansingo.

However, Admiral Pershing did not immediately give Lieutenant General Clark an answer. In fact, when Admiral Pershing learned that the US airship unit had been completely wiped out, he was completely stunned. In the battle of Tiela Corolada, he was very clear about how strong the Chinese who had mastered air superiority were. After the Chinese Air Force joined the battlefield, it had wiped out the advantage that the US military had in the Sierra Madre do Sul, and it was impossible to rely on this line of defense to resist the Chinese. However, Admiral Pershing has not given up his efforts, and he knows that once the defense line of the Sierra Madre do South is breached, the American army will not have any advantage on the battlefield. The initiative on the battlefield will also return to the hands of the squadron. Therefore, he did not immediately reply to Lieutenant General Clark's telegram requesting a retreat. And this has undoubtedly become an important reason for the destruction of Clark and more than 300,000 American troops!
