"Whew! Shout! Shout! The shrill whistling sound was very harsh, and the American soldiers on the battlefield who were attacking the squadron's defense line raised their heads blankly, not knowing what was happening. However, the faces of some officers and veterans turned pale in an instant. This kind of shrill whistling sound is clearly the sound produced by the friction between large-caliber artillery shells and air at high speed.

"Shelling! Get down! Get down on my stomach! Some officers and veterans immediately stirred up and took the lead in lying on the ground, holding their heads tightly with their hands and their mouths wide open to reduce the damage caused by the impact of the shell explosion. However, many more U.S. soldiers have yet to react. Although, they have been through quite a few fierce battles before, they rarely encounter such a situation. The Sixth Army of the Chinese Army started from San Luis Potosí, and even if it retreated all the way, this made these American GIs who had just joined the army already over-inflated their self-confidence. And this time, it's time for them to suffer!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! With a violent explosion, orange fireballs rose on the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield who were fighting only felt that the mountains were shaking. Some of the American soldiers were directly thrown away by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and by the time they fell to the ground, their bodies had become pieces of minced meat. The prefabricated fragments in the shells are scattered in all directions, wantonly harvesting the lives of American soldiers!

The battleships "Emperor Guangwu" and "Wang Qian" on the sea constantly bombarded the American soldiers attacking Acapulco with high-explosive shells. After the shell exploded, it left a huge deep crater in the ground. Within a radius of ten meters, there was not a single living thing on the base, and the American soldiers who died in the shelling were not able to leave a single corpse on the base.

The entire battlefield, under the heavy shelling of the two warships of the Pacific Fleet, turned into a Shura hell for a long time. The U.S. officers and soldiers who came to their senses immediately turned around and ran back, even taking out the strength to feed, in order to run faster. They even threw away all the guns and ammunition on their bodies. However, even so, many American soldiers were still killed in the shelling.

On the other side, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Group Army of the Chinese Army, who were struggling to resist the attack of the US army, saw the US army fleeing in wolves. They cheered. These days, in order to take Acapulco before the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, the U.S. army launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties, and the battle was very fierce, even if the Sixth Army held Acapulco, but its own casualties were not small. However, they managed to make it to the end. Reinforcements from the Navy have arrived, and it is already impossible for the US troops to take Acapulco with the support of the Sixth Army with naval artillery!

"Haha! Send a telegram to the High Commander, thanking them for arriving in time! Other than that. Send them the coordinates of the artillery positions of the Americans. Ask the Navy to destroy the artillery of the Americans! General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, said excitedly.

"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming, chief of staff, finally breathed a sigh of relief. For the artillery of the Americans, the entire Sixth Army was deeply hated! In previous battles, the artillery of the American army had a decisive advantage. In the artillery battle, the artillery of the Sixth Army was completely at a disadvantage. Almost lost in the fierce battle. And a large part of the casualties of the Sixth Army were caused by American artillery. Therefore, the Sixth Army had a great hatred for American artillery.

According to the coordinates sent by the Sixth Army, the battleships 'Emperor Guangwu' and the battlecruisers 'Wang Qian' on the sea immediately adjusted the direction of the shelling. At the same time, light cruisers and destroyers, which protected these two battleships and battlecruisers, also joined in the shelling. Although light cruisers and destroyers had smaller calibers, naval guns were much more powerful than the cannons used by the army at the same caliber.

Under the fierce shelling of the Pacific Fleet, the US artillery positions, which were originally firing at the Sixth Group Army of the Chinese Army, suddenly turned into a sea of fire. A large number of American soldiers were killed in the shelling, the artillery was blown up, and the shells piled up on the artillery positions caused even more martyrdom, causing even greater losses. The artillery of the American army had to urgently shift positions, which avoided causing even greater losses.

In less than an hour, the U.S. military went from imminent victory to crushing defeat, as if it was still in heaven in the last second, but in the blink of an eye, it was transferred to hell. This made the entire US military very frustrated, and Admiral Pershing was even more angry. Seeing that they were about to drive the Chinese into the sea and annihilate them all, but by this time, all the achievements were lost.

"General! The Chinese navy arrived, and on the sea there were at least two powerful battleships and several light cruisers. The Chinese have received fire support from the navy, and if we want to take Acapulco, I am afraid we will have to pay even more casualties! Major General George, commander of the 11th Army of the US Army, said. His words have been said very tactfully. Acapulco is on the seashore, and the attack of the US military is completely within the range of the naval guns of the Chinese Navy, and attacking Acapulco in this situation is no different from looking for death!

"Order the whole army to retreat, retreat to a distance of twenty-five kilometers from the sea, and suspend the attack on Acapulco!" Admiral Pershing did not lose his mind and gave the order to retreat. In this case, he did not want to continue to do useless work and continue to waste valuable troops. It's just that the low-hanging fruit victory slipped away like this, which still makes him feel regretful.

The U.S. military chose to retreat, all the way out of range of the Chinese Navy's naval guns. At this time, the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army was also unable to launch an attack on the US forces because of heavy losses, and was only able to hold Acapulco with the fire support of the navy. However, the Seventh Army will arrive in two days, and when the reinforcements come ashore, it will at least be able to stabilize the current situation and gradually regain the initiative on the battlefield!

On 13 October, the 23rd Division, the vanguard of the Chinese Army's Seventh Army, arrived at Acapulco and, after a brief rest, took over the line from the defenders of the Sixth Army. The Sixth Army suffered heavy losses, the original strength of more than 100,000 people, by the time reinforcements arrived, there were only more than 50,000 people left, and several main combat units, the 11th Division, the 12th Division, the 68th Division, and the Cavalry Brigade, all suffered heavy casualties, especially the 68th Division and the Cavalry Brigade, which had already suffered more than half of the casualties!

Five days later, all the units of the Seventh Army landed at Acapulco. In the past few days, the U.S. military has never launched an attack on Acapulco, but has begun to build a defensive line, with great plans to block the squadron near Acapulco.

After the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, the second batch of eight armies of the U.S. army to fight in Mexico also arrived at the front line one after another. This increased the number of troops in the hands of General Pershing to eighteen corps, totaling more than 700,000 men. However, Admiral Pershing had no intention of attacking Acapulco at all. Because on the sea, the capital ships of the Chinese Turkish Fleet have all gathered here, and if the US forces dare to attack Acapulco, the terrifying firepower of more than a dozen battleships from the sea will be enough to send them all to hell.

Therefore, Admiral Pershing's best option was to build a defensive line outside the range of the Chinese Navy's naval guns to prevent the squadron from attacking the heart of Mexico. However, Admiral Pershing knew very well that with the continuous flow of squadrons from Turkey to Mexico, the strength of the two sides would slowly change, and the squadron would definitely continue to attack at that time. Therefore, Admiral Pershing repeatedly urged the country to send more troops into Mexico, and at the same time demanded that additional troops be sent to make up for the losses suffered by the first ten armies in the battle!

The only thing Admiral Pershing can rely on is that even if China is separated from the United States and Mexico by a vast Pacific Ocean, it will be more than ten times more difficult for China to mobilize troops in Mexico than for the United States, and at the same time, it will be much more difficult for China to supply the troops fighting in Mexico than for the United States. In addition, with China's shipping capacity, it can only ensure that at most a million troops can fight in North America, and according to the ratio of the combat strength of the two sides is about 1 to 2 or 1 to 3, the US Army needs about 2 million to 3 million men to be able to resist the attack of the squadron. Moreover, as the battle line becomes longer and longer, the logistical pressure on the squadron will increase, which is quite powerful for the US military.

China, is also constantly sending troops to Mexico, in addition to the first arrival of the Seventh Army, there are also the follow-up Eighth Army, as well as the original deployment in Japan of the Second Army, now Japan, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang has mastered the overall situation, and the Japanese Japanese King Jiaren also returned to the West because of a sudden illness, the current Japanese King is the son of the Emperor Wang Yuze and the daughter of the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, Xionji Masako, China has completely surrendered to Japan, so the second army of hundreds of thousands of elite troops, there is no need to stay in Japan anymore, It can be liberated and used on other battlefields.

In addition to these two veteran group armies, 20 of the 40 divisions that have been upgraded from reserve brigades to divisions will also be sent to Mexico, bringing the number of Chinese troops in Mexico to more than 800,000. This is already the maximum logistical force that China can guarantee without requisitioning merchant ships from private companies. Of course, this number could be doubled if private companies were requisitioned for merchant ships, but that would have a serious impact on China's current economy.
