At two o'clock in the afternoon of February 29, after the squadron arrived in San Luis Potosí, preparations for the operation began. One cannon after another has been pushed to the top of the artillery position, the hideous muzzle of the cannon, obliquely pointing at the sky, and the air seems to be filled with a smell of slaughter!

In the previous battle to attack the St. Louis Valley, the squadron lost dozens of cannons, but it successfully suppressed the American artillery and almost crippled the non-artillery. Otherwise, in the battle in the St. Louis Valley, the squadron will have to pay even greater losses. The god of war is still the master of the battlefield, which is why Wang Yuze established artillery!

In San Luis Potosí, U.S. troops are also preparing for battle. Except for the senior generals, the rest of the American officers and soldiers didn't know John at all? Major General Pershing had already taken two divisions and 4 cavalry regiments to the logistics base of the raid squadron. The American officers and soldiers who remained to defend San Luis Potosí had been told that in five days reinforcements would arrive, and that they would have to hold out for more than five days. If they fail, the squadron will kill them all after capturing San Luis Potosí.

I have to admit that China and the squadron in this era, in Western society, have a bad reputation, and they are almost synonymous with the devil. This is also inseparable from the long-term demonization of China by Western countries. Therefore. The American officers and soldiers guarding San Luis Potosí, after learning about the specific situation. The determination to resist to the end was born, which raised the morale of the US military a lot.

John? Lieutenant General Bates, led by a group of generals, appeared on the front line. Major General Pershing had already set out with his army, so he had to take on the duty of guarding San Luis Potosí. If San Luis Potosi had been breached before Major General Pershing had breached the logistics base of the squadron, it would have been all over. Lieutenant General Bates knew. This time, I'm afraid I'll have to do my best. The troops withdrawn from the Third Army, except for the 43rd Division, which was taken away by Major General Pershing, were basically remnants of the defeated army, and if they wanted to hold San Luis Potossi, they had to rely on the troops of the Second Army. Although, the elite 28th Division of the Second Army was also taken away by Major General Pershing. But the other three infantry divisions have always been at full strength. Coupled with the defeat of the remnants of the Third Army, the total number of American troops defending San Luis Potosí was more than 50,000 people, which was more than the total strength of the current squadron. Lieutenant General Bates also did not expect to defeat the squadron with his army, but it should still be no problem to hold San Luis Potosí. Not to mention. Three days later, five days at most, Major General Pershing will launch an attack on Ocampo, and if successful, the American army will be able to turn over. Other than that. Although the speed of the march of the First Army was delayed, it was getting closer and closer to San Luis Potosí. Overall, Lieutenant General Bates feels that the odds of winning this battle are still very good!

"Hide all the artillery! We don't have many cannons left, these cannons are all treasures, and we are not allowed to fire them until we have to! "John? Lieutenant General Bates ordered. In his opinion, the only thing that the US army is worse than the squadron now is probably artillery. However, San Luis Potosi has a lot of buildings, and if the Chinese artillery wants to destroy San Luis Potosi, I am afraid it will take a few days to do it, which is very beneficial to the US military!

"Yes, General! General, it looks like the Chinese are about to start attacking, it's too dangerous here, you better go back to the headquarters first! A middle-aged man said. He was Brigadier General Quincy of the 26th Division under the U.S. Army's Second Army. The first line of defense in San Luis Potosí is currently being defended by his division.

John? Lieutenant General Bates nodded, the forward position was indeed very threatening, or the headquarters he secretly built underground was safer. When he came to inspect the forward positions, he was just trying to make a show and play a role in boosting morale. Now that the appearance is done, it is better for him to return to a safe place as soon as possible!

"Whew!" At this time, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

"Shelling! Lie down! The officers around immediately shouted, and at the same time looked for a place to hide. John? Lieutenant General Bates, who was also thrown to the ground by his guards, fell a dog eating.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense explosions sounded on the forward positions of the US troops, and a ball of crimson fireballs rose up, leaving large craters on the positions!

The artillery of the squadron, although it also lost dozens of cannons. However, the lost artillery is basically 105 mm caliber light howitzers, 155 mm caliber heavy howitzers and heavy cannons, because of the backward arrangement, except for a few that can no longer be used because of malfunction, the rest of the heavy artillery can continue to slaughter the US army.

"Quick! Get out of here! "John? Lieutenant General Bates shouted with a bit of a wolf. He didn't expect at all that the squadron would suddenly attack at this time, and if a shell happened to explode next to him, wouldn't he be dead? The thought of this made his face pale.

Soon, John? Lieutenant General Bates and his entourage withdrew through the guò communication trench, and the American position was already shrouded in gunsmoke. The American soldiers on the positions were either hiding in the anti-artillery holes, or at the bottom of the trenches, or hiding in some buildings that looked relatively strong. They can only pray that God willing, not to be hit by Chinese shells. Otherwise, it would be difficult for these fortifications to save their lives, and even if they were solid anti-artillery holes, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the heavy artillery of the Chinese artillery!

In the process of Chinese artillery shelling, the artillery of the US army has been in silence. There seems to be no sign of firing at all, which makes more Chinese artillery join the shelling of American positions! The positions of the American army are as if they have been plowed several times!

After half an hour of shelling, the 3rd Marine Division attacked. In the previous battles in the St. Louis Valley, it was almost always the Army's 11th Division attacking. Now, it's their turn to strike. Although they are marines, in addition to being good at landing operations, they are also unambiguous in storming and street fighting, at least much stronger than the US army on the other side!

The 3rd Marine Division, with two regiments thrown at once, launched an offensive from the southwest and east of San Luis Poto. The west and north of San Luis Potosí, both backed by Monte San Pedro, are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is no need to commit troops there. The squadron originally had no advantage in terms of strength.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps, under the cover of artillery, lined up in a skirmish line and launched an attack on the positions of the American troops. The 26th Division of the U.S. Army can be regarded as the elite army in the U.S. Army, but the previous artillery bombardment has already dizzy them. In the face of the onslaught of two regiments of marines, their line was broken through after holding out for less than half an hour.

The commander of the American army, Brigadier General Quincy, commander of the 26th Division, gave the order to retreat with a somewhat ugly face. Fortunately, the main defensive position of the U.S. military is inside the city of San Luis Potosí, and there is only a simple line of defense outside the city, and their main purpose is to fight street battles with the squadron!

After the positions on the outskirts of San Luis Potosí were breached, all American troops retreated into the city of San Luis Potosí. After resting for two hours, the squadron attacked again.

The artillery was constantly firing, looking for targets of relatively high value. The infantry, on the other hand, was dispersed into small units of company and platoon, and broke into the city to engage in a fierce battle with the American army. The city of San Luis Potosi is not large, but the American army has built countless defensive positions here, and in every street and alley, barricades have been built, and among the buildings on both sides, there are many hidden individual fire points.

At 5 p.m., the squadron had broken into San Luis Potosí to fight the city with the American army. It's just that on the defensive side, the US military always has to take a big advantage. They can use pre-constructed firing points to attack Chinese soldiers, and Chinese soldiers will have to take a big risk to compete with the American army.

Fortunately, the squadron has a lot of experience in street fighting, and in the daily training of the troops, they often train street fighting. The squadron has summed up a set of methods for fighting street battles. The firepower composition of each infantry squad can also be brought into full play in street fighting.

In street fighting, the sniper and machine gunner play a very large role, the machine gunner will be the fire support of the whole class, and the sniper, relying on accurate shooting, will clear the most threatening enemy and provide fire cover for other comrades. The rest of the infantry, using rifles and grenades in their hands, gradually cleared the enemy. Because they are not familiar with the road, when they encounter a wall blocking the way, the squadron will directly use explosives or grenades to blow through the wall and advance in a straight line. In order to avoid falling into the trap built by the enemy, this also makes many arrangements of the US military not be able to play an effective role. If you encounter a strong fortress or barricade, you will need to call in artillery support. Company and platoon mortars, battalion infantry guns, are all sharp weapons against barricades and bunkers in street fighting.

Under such tactics, even if the U.S. military is protected by fortifications, it will not be able to take advantage of it at all in the process of fighting with the squadron. On the contrary, they were beaten and retreated, and before nightfall, although there were not many urban areas in San Luis Potosí, which were controlled by the ** team, they could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold!
