"Marshal, can you know the performance of the anti-tank weapons of the Americans?" Episode 6: General Gao Chang, the commander of the troubled army, asked. Now the armored forces have become the most powerful fist of the group armies, and if the armored forces are restrained, the combat effectiveness of the squadron will definitely be greatly affected. The trench warfare in Europe had already put the Germans and the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front in Europe, and they did not want the war in North America to be like this.

"There's no way to know yet. However, when the day after tomorrow is launched, you will know. However, I hope that even if the armored forces are not able to exert their maximum combat effectiveness, our attacks will not be affected much. In the absence of armored forces, we are still invincible! Marshal Zhao Bowen said. Although there are no armored units, they will pay more casualties when breaking through the American defenses. However, this does not mean that without armored units, the squadron will not fight.

"Yes, Marshal!" Everyone shouted back to the Tao. It's just that everyone's originally relaxed mood has disappeared. Originally, I thought that this time I would be able to easily break through the defense line of the US army and advance the front to the territory of the United States. But now it seems that the Americans are not completely unprepared!

"Next, let me talk about the battle plan this time. The U.S. defensive line, with San Luis Potosí at its core, is bordered by the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Panuco River to the east and the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Santiago River to the west. The terrain here is not suitable for launching large-scale operations, not to mention us, who have armored forces and a lot of heavy equipment. Therefore, the target of our attack is the area west of the U.S. line, the area around the San Luis Potosi class. According to the information we have received, the U.S. military has deployed more than 700,000 troops in and around San Luis Potosi, with a large number of trenches, anti-tank trenches, and fixed fire points. In addition, the US military has built a large number of airfields northwest of San Luis Poto, which the Americans have jointly developed with Britain and France

'Hurricane, the fighter has already begun mass production. Therefore, when the Air Force carried out bombing, it had to be equipped with fighter planes to compete with the Americans for air supremacy. The offensive on San Luis Potosí was carried out by the 2nd Army and Japanese mercenaries. In addition, the 7th Army and Korean mercenaries set out from León to attack Aguascadates. The 6th Army and the 131st to 131st Infantry Divisions, were responsible for defending the transport line from Puerto Vallarta to the front. Now that our logistics have been transferred to Puerto Vallarta, there are still quite a few American troops in the Sierra Madre Occidental to the north. Once the battle begins, they will certainly attack Puerto Vallarta or our transport lines. It is especially important to defend this transport line and ensure the supply of supplies to the front line, and I don't want to be like the Central Campaign again. As for the 8th Army and the rest of the troops, as reserves. Marshal Zhao Bowen said. The U.S. military has only deployed a million men along the entire defense line, and there are only 700,000 people near San Luis Potosi, which is the main attack. In this battle, it is also necessary to find out how powerful the US military's anti-tank weapons really are. This will have a great impact on the use and tactics of armored forces in the future.

"Yes, Marshal!" Everyone replied. Originally, General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that the 6th Army was responsible for guarding the logistics and transportation lines. But Marshal Zhao Bowen's stern expression and words made him have to pay attention to it. During the Battle of Central Mexico a few months ago, the squadron had planned to attack north and break through to the border between the United States and Mexico immediately after breaking through the American defenses. However, because of logistical problems, Marshal Zhao Bowen had to change the battle plan, wasting several months. Logistical support is equally important in this battle, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"So, so be it! The attack began at 8 a.m. on August 23.

At that time, the artillery and air force will first shell and bomb the US defense line. After that, the army launched another attack. In the event of an attack, especially the anti-tank weapons of the little Americans! Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

After the meeting was dismissed, the commanders of the various group armies returned to their respective headquarters and began to make adjustments according to the orders of Marshal Zhao Bowen. The armored forces were still the protagonists of the attack, but all officers and men of the armored forces were asked to be especially careful with the anti-tank weapons of the Americans after the attack began.

Originally, the squadron's combat materiel center on the battlefield in Mexico was Acapulco. As the war progressed northward, Acapulco was no longer fit to serve as a distribution center for war supplies. The squadron needs to re-select a seaport in the northern region of Mexico's west coast. Puerto Vallarta is the best choice. After the attack of light warships and submarines of the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet has basically been resolved! The country's upper transport lines are back in full swing, bringing all kinds of war materiel to Puerto Vallarta, from where they reach the front line by trucks to ensure the offensive of the front.

As time went by, the atmosphere on the Mexican plateau became more and more tense, and almost everyone could feel that the battle was about to start again. Perhaps tomorrow morning, after dawn, millions of troops on both sides will be engaged in fierce battles on the Mexican plateau.

This time, the commander of the American army in northern Mexico was Admiral Davis, and although the American defense line in central Mexico suffered a crushing defeat, the main responsibility for the defeat was placed on the Chinese. Because of the cunning of the Chinese and the introduction of new weapons on the battlefield that the US military has never seen before, it led to the collapse of the US defense line. Therefore, John. Admiral Pershing and Admiral Davis were not punished, but were reprimanded by the War Department. Now, Admiral Davis is the commander of the American forces in northern Mexico, and Admiral Pershing is preparing the Rio Grande Line. Everyone knows that the Rio Grande Line is the focus, and Admiral Davis's defensive line is just to buy time for the Rio Grande Line as much as possible. However, Admiral Davis also does not know how long he will be able to hold out. He was greatly shocked by the powerful attack power displayed by the squadron in the battle of central Mexico.

San Luis Potosí, an important city in northern Mexico, has been the battleground of several battles. Since China's overthrow of Mexico's Díaz government, China and the United States have engaged in fierce battles in San Luis Potosí. After that, the U.S. military attacked the Chinese army in Mexico, and it became the main battlefield. Now, the squadron has regained the initiative on the battlefield in Mexico and will also capture San Luis Potosí to break through the American defenses.

"General, intelligence from the country is expected that the Chinese will attack us in two to three days! The War Department and the Army Staff asked us to be combat-ready! A lieutenant general officer said to Admiral Davis, Admiral Cody, Admiral Davis' deputy, who is now Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army on the battlefield in Mexico. It's just that the current U.S. military in Mexico only has a total of a million people on this defensive line that they have deployed.

"I see, General Cole, put the troops on maximum alert at once, and all the officers and men are put in combat readiness. Anti-tank forces, in particular, need to be paid special attention. At the time of the defense line in central Mexico, we were defeated by the Chinese armored forces. This time, we need to pay special attention to the armored forces of the Chinese! Admiral Davis said. Now he remembered that the squadron had broken through the defensive line painstakingly built by the US military in just two days, and he was still a little apprehensive. Even if the U.S. military is now equipped with some anti-tank weapons, these weapons have not been tested on the battlefield, and he is not sure how effective they can be.

"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Cole nodded, turned and left the command. After the order of Admiral Davis was given, the American troops along the entire line of defense moved into action and began to make final preparations before the battle.

Admiral Davis stood in front of the wall of his office, with a large map of Mexico, a few hundred kilometers north of San Luis Potosí, the United States. Admiral Davis did not want to see the flames of war spread to the United States. However, he knew that from now on, the possibility was already very small. The line of defense he is responsible for can't resist the attack of the squadron at all, and the key depends on the Rio Grande defense line that General Pershing is in charge of. In addition, he also has some expectations for the anti-tank weapons that the US military has begun to equip, hoping that these weapons will perform well and make the Chinese armored units hit their heads and bleed on the US defense line.

After the U.S. military used armored units in the squadron, it immediately began to study countermeasures. At present, several anti-tank weapons have been developed, including the PZ1 anti-tank robbery, the PT1 anti-tank gun, and the anti-tank mines. In addition, digging anti-tank trenches up to three meters wide in front of the trenches has also become the most advantageous tactic for the US military, and the trenches up to three meters wide cannot be crossed by tanks equipped with armored units of the squadron.

The PZ1 anti-tank gun, with a caliber of 127 mm, a bullet muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second, and the ability to penetrate 5 mm of steel plates within 200 meters, is already capable of posing a serious threat to the ZH armored vehicles equipped by the Chinese armored forces.

The PK1 tank gun, with a caliber of 37 mm and a muzzle velocity of 700 meters per second, is capable of penetrating 50 mm of steel plates within 100 meters and 30 mm of steel plates within 200 meters, which has great lethality for both tanks equipped by the Chinese armored forces!
