PS: The third update is here! Ask, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you for the reward of the command gun of the book friend party! Thank you for the monthly pass of zhyyy3168!

San Antonio was captured by the squadron, and it was never possible for the U.S. military to recapture it, which dealt a heavy blow to the U.S. military. *.com* Especially in Laredo and McCarron on the Rio Grande Line, the U.S. Army is still struggling to resist the attack of the squadron. But the lair has been captured by the squadron, and from now on, they will no longer be able to get any logistical supplies. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the more than two million US troops on the defensive line. Without ammunition and food, even if they have a great advantage in strength, they can only be defeated by the squadron. The collapse of the Rio Grande defense line is just around the corner!

"Anthony and Billy, those two guys! They only lasted three days before they gave up San Antonio! I'm going to have them court-martialed! And those guys, it took a whole week to get to San Antonio, and they completely delayed the battle and sent them all to court-martial! "Inside the command, located on the Rio Grande Line, Admiral Pershing roared angrily. He had no idea that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. After San Antonio was captured by the Squadron, the Rio Grande defense line could no longer be maintained. And now, it's just November. If you want to hold on until the end of the year, there are still nearly two months to go. Will the United States be able to hold out for so long?

Inside the office of Admiral Pershing, Adm. Davis and Chief of Staff Peyton. Lieutenant General March also had a gloomy face. Like Admiral Pershing, they served as senior commanders of the U.S. Army's Rio Grande Line, after the Rio Grande Line was breached. They're certainly not going to end well. The ideal outcome is forced retirement. If it's not handled well. Maybe he will be tried by a military court.

"General, according to the information we have received, Anthony and Billy have not blown up the military supply warehouse in San Antonio when they are retreating. That is to say, the food, weapons and ammunition that we stored there have now all fallen into the hands of the Chinese. With abundant resources, the logistical pressure on the Chinese will be much reduced. The superiority of our home combat will be neutralized. Want to stop the Chinese attack on the American hinterland. It's already very difficult! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March was as depressed as if he had died of an old lady. He has completely lost confidence in the future war situation, and in his opinion, this war will directly cause heavy losses to the US Army, and the United States will also be completely finished. Of course, America's last hope is the Navy. But even if the Navy wins, I'm afraid the U.S. Army will not have enough strength to drive the squadron away from the U.S. mainland. In the end, the United States still has to taste defeat again!

"Son of a bitch, those two guys are simply committing a crime. Send a telegram to the 72nd and 75th armies at once, arrest them! Admiral Pershing scolded. All the time. The U.S. Army is inferior to the squadron in terms of combat power, but neither General Pershing nor the top brass of the U.S. Army have ever given up hope. Compared with the Chinese Army. Although there is still a big gap between the US military in terms of tactics and weapons, they have a great advantage in terms of troops. At the same time, it is a local battle, and it is easier to get supplies. The supply of the squadron needs to travel thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean. However, after the capture of San Antonio, this problem has been greatly alleviated. Even if rifle and light machine gun bullets on both sides cannot be used universally, artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets can be used universally. Most critically, the U.S. military has stockpiled a large amount of food in San Antonio. Although these grains are basically flour, Chinese who are accustomed to eating rice do not have a problem eating bread. After obtaining food from San Antonio, it was enough for the squadron to last for three months or more. If the Chinese were more ruthless, they could even collect grain from the Americans around them, so that the Chinese would no longer have to transport grain from the country. And the excess capacity can be used by the Chinese to transport more weapons and ammunition, and even send more troops to the United States. If the U.S. Army wants to turn the tables, it will be even more impossible. The capture of San Antonio by the Chinese is likely to lay the foundation for victory in this war. At least a victory in the North American theater. And the United States will once again be a loser!

"General, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to solve the current problem. We've amassed too many troops in Laredo and McCarron. The amount of supplies that these troops need to consume every day is an astronomical amount. Without supplies from San Antonio, we wouldn't have lasted much longer! We've got to figure it out in advance! Admiral Davis reminded. Although he is also very angry in his heart, it is not possible to solve the problem by getting angry now, and he has to come up with a countermeasure earlier!

"General March, how long can we hold out with all kinds of supplies now?" Admiral Pershing asked.

"General, our current food, weapons and ammunition can last for half a month at most. Half a month later, if we can't retake San Antonio, or get logistical supplies, then all the food, weapons and ammunition we have in store will be used up! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March said. However, even he himself will not believe that the current US military is still capable of retaking San Antonio! The U.S. military of the squadron that captured San Antonio has been identified, and it is the 2nd Army and the 6th Army of the Chinese Army, both of which are elite units of the Chinese Army. In addition, the Chinese Air Force is also stepping up its deployment to San Antonio, and if the US military wants to recapture San Antonio, it may have to gather more than a million troops. And that doesn't necessarily work.

"Can only last for half a month? How can such a little time be? Admiral Pershing asked in surprise. In his mind, although San Antonio was an important storage center for the U.S. military, there were still a lot of military supplies deployed on the front line. Even if San Antonio is captured by the ** team, it will not only last for half a month!

"General, in recent times, the Chinese have intensified their attacks on Laredo and McCarron, and if we want to hold our positions, we will have to pay a huge price. Whether it is the casualties or the consumption of materials, they are much larger than before. Therefore, the current supplies can only last for half a month! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March explained.

"So, do you think we can be sure that in half a month's time, we can defeat the squadron attacking Laredo and McCarron?" Admiral Pershing asked. Now for the US army, only by defeating the squadron that attacked the Rio Grande defense line head-on could the US army turn the tide of the war. Only, is this possible?

"General, this is completely impossible. The Chinese have invested more than 1.5 million troops on the frontal battlefield, and there are still hundreds of thousands of reserve troops that have not yet been put into the battlefield. The forces we are now massing in Laredo and McCarron are just over 2.4 million men. Although we have a great advantage in troops. But in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops, we can no longer compare with the Chinese. Coupled with the fact that San Antonio has already been captured by the Chinese, there are already big problems with our logistical supply. If you want to defeat the Chinese in half a month, you can't do it unless there is a manifestation of God! Admiral Davis shook his head.

"Since we cannot defeat the Chinese, we can only admit that this battle has failed again. In order to preserve strength, we must retreat. Otherwise, once our troops deployed on the Rio Grande defense line are annihilated by the Chinese, we will no longer be able to fight the Chinese! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March also built a yì road.

"San Antonio is occupied by the Chinese, and our way to retreat north has been cut off. In addition, if we retreat now, the Chinese will definitely launch a pursuit. At that time, I am afraid that it will cause a great rout of the troops! Admiral Pershing said with some concern. If the retreat fails, but instead causes a major rout, then the losses of the American army will be even heavier!

"General, now we can only break the wrist of the strong man! Leaving enough troops to hold off the Chinese, the rest of the forces retreated eastward, from the Gulf Coast to the American hinterland. The Navy can be requested to provide us with protection. If the Navy's battleships can reach the Gulf Coast, then we can retreat along the coast. No matter how tough the Chinese are, it is impossible to risk the threat of the main guns of the battleship to stop us! Admiral Davis said. It was the best he could think of. Retreat directly to the north, because San Antonio has already been captured by the squadron, which is no longer possible. Well, all that remains is to retreat to the east, and then to the American hinterland under the cover of the Navy. As long as the main force of the U.S. military can escape back, it will rely on the rivers in the United States to make up for it, such as the Colorado River, the Brazos River, and even the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River in the rear, and so on. Even if it loses a large part of its territory, the United States will be able to hold on. It is still unrealistic for the squadron to destroy the United States in a short period of time. What's more, the United States still has a navy, and if the navy can win, even if it cannot completely defeat the Chinese, it can at least strive for a decent peace for the United States.

Admiral Pershing nodded, acknowledging it. Although this will be a great blow to the United States, it is already the best way for the United States. If the main force of the US Army can retreat, then the United States can still hold on, and if the main force of the US Army is eliminated, then the United States will lose! (To be continued......)
