"Marshal, according to the information we have now, there are still about 430,000 American troops in San Luis Potosí and the surrounding positions. The U.S. military has built strong fortifications in and around San Luis Potosi, and has strengthened the defenses of these places after the frontline positions have been broken through by us, and now it seems that the U.S. military intends to defend San Luis Potosi! General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Army, said. Now, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army, the commander of the 8th Army, and the commander of the Japanese mercenaries have come to the headquarters of Marshal Zhao Bowen. According to the plan, an attack on San Luis Potosi will be launched tomorrow.

"San Luis Potosí, around this city, we have fought with the Americans several times. This time, we will put an end to the fate of Americans in Mexico once and for all. Although the U.S. military still has a large number of troops in San Luis Potosi, it does not have any advantage for us at all. In addition, the Air Force and artillery will fully support the forces attacking San Luis Potosí. I hope to be able to capture San Luis Potosí within a week and annihilate as many American troops as possible. Every time we let go of an American soldier, it will increase the difficulty of us to defeat the United States! Marshal Zhao Bowen looked at the map and said. After this battle, the squadron will move north to attack the continental United States. Therefore, if you can kill and injure as many living forces as possible in the Mexican battlefield, there is no reason to let it go.

"Yes, Marshal! San Luis Potosí has high mountains to the east and west. To the south, there is only one canyon more than 10 kilometers wide. The forward position of the American troops in San Luis Potosí is in a small town called Jesús Maria in the canyon. After we broke through this line of defense. You will be able to enter the city of San Luis Potosí. Other than that. I sent a troop to make a detour northwest of San Luis Poto. Block the retreat of the American troops to the north so that we can encircle and annihilate the American troops here! General He Bingju, commander of the 2nd Army, said.

Marshal Zhao Bowen nodded, there will be no problem in defeating the American troops in San Luis Potosí. Then, if you want to encircle and annihilate the US troops here, you have to put more thought into it.

"Marshal, the task of blocking the way for the retreat of American troops to the north will be left to us! The 2nd Army is guaranteed to be able to complete this task! General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Army, said. In the previous battle to break through the lines of the American army. Although the 2nd Army won the battle, its armored brigades suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Marshal Zhao Bowen replaced the main forces attacking San Luis Potosí with the 8th Army.

"Yes! The headquarters of the 2nd Army, plus the 141st to 150th Infantry Divisions, made a detour northwest of San Luis Poto to block the path of the American retreat to the north. If the U.S. forces break through to the north, be sure to fend them off! Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

"Yes, Marshal! I promise that I will block the retreat of the US military! General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Army, said. The 2nd Army, plus ten infantry divisions, had a total strength of more than 370,000 troops, such a huge force. A direct attack on San Luis Potosí and the US military are sure of it. Not to mention just blocking the retreat of the US military.

"Well, tomorrow's attack on San Luis Potosí will be completed by the 8th Army and Japanese mercenaries! I hope to be able to see our flag flying in San Luis Potosí as much as possible! Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

"Yes, Marshal!" Both the commander of the 8th Army and the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Yoshimasa Oshima, replied. Although the street fighting is destined to be very fierce, with absolute air and artillery superiority, there will be absolutely no problem in attacking San Luis Potosí, which is held by the North American army, with superior forces. At most, the casualties will be a little heavier. Of course, with Japanese mercenaries as cannon fodder, the losses of the squadron will definitely be much smaller. In the past year, the Japanese mercenaries have been very outstanding on the battlefield in Mexico, and the casualties have exceeded 700,000, but now the 50 divisions are full. The Chinese General Staff has already planned to send 50 divisions of Japanese mercenaries into the United States again after attacking the US mainland to assist the squadron in fighting in the United States. In addition, the operations against India and Australia that are being prepared will involve a considerable number of Japanese mercenaries. These Japanese mercenaries, who are obedient to China's orders, bear hardships and stand hard work, and have fierce combat effectiveness, are very good candidates for cannon fodder. Mercenaries have become the first choice of Japanese youth, and they have become the pillar industries of the Japanese economy, surpassing the two traditional industries of dispatching laborers to China and women. After all, the salary received by every Japanese mercenary, as well as the captures on the battlefield, and even the pension after the death in battle, were a lot of wealth for poor Japan.

On August 26, the battle of the squadron against San Luis Potosí officially began. From half past seven in the morning, the artillery brigade of the 8th Army and the artillery battalions of the divisions below, with a total of more than five hundred heavy guns, began a heavy shelling of the American line at Jesús Maria. Jesús Maria is a ten-kilometer-wide town in a valley southwest of San Luis Poto, where the U.S. Army has built a line of anti-tank trenches and trenches that crisscross it. However, the anti-tank units of the US army have been completely lost in yesterday's battle, and they seem to have no other way than to use anti-tank trenches to intercept the armored units of the Chinese army. In the case of not being able to suppress the armored forces of the Chinese army, the difficulty of trying to hold the position can be imagined. In fact, the commander of the US army, Admiral Davis, did not expect the US army to hold out for long in Maria Jesús, and he only deployed one corps and 50,000 troops on this line of defense.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells fell on the positions of the American troops, bursting out in clusters of orange-red fireballs, devouring the surrounding lives, and prefabricated fragments shot away, harvesting the lives around them. When the squadron began to shell, the American troops had already taken refuge in the anti-artillery holes in time. The U.S. military's anti-artillery shelters were built fairly well, barely able to withstand the heavy artillery of the Chinese army. However, if an anti-artillery hole is hit continuously, it will only be bombarded. Then, the US officers and soldiers hiding inside will suffer!

The artillery of the 8th Group Army of the Chinese Army shelled for only half an hour, and after the shelling was over, the positions of the US troops were already in shambles. A large number of trenches were blown down, and many of the fire points of civil structures were destroyed in the shelling.

"Buzz!" As if the sound of a large swarm of bees flying, hundreds of fighters of the Chinese Air Force appeared over the positions of the US military. Immediately after that, dozens of H5 'Hongyan' fighters began to lower their altitudes and dropped a large number of aerial bombs at an altitude of 1,000 meters from the US position. Dozens of tons of bombs turned the US position's position into a sea of fire, and after the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, huge craters appeared on the US position. Many of the US army's anti-artillery shelters and bomb shelters were also blown up during the bombing, and the US officers and men inside were buried alive.

Anti-aircraft fire from the positions of the American troops also began to shoot into the sky at this time. It's just that as soon as they started shooting, the FH5 'Falcon' dive bombers hovering in the sky began to dive and drop bombs. These dive bombers, with a sharp whistling sound, accurately dropped heavy aerial bombs on the US air defense positions, turning the US air defense positions into a sea of fire.

After the artillery and air force performances were over, it was the turn of the army to go out. The 8th Panzer Brigade of the Eighth Army began the offensive. A T5 Cheetah medium tank battalion rushed to the front, flanked by a T4 Wolf light tank battalion, and behind it was a mechanized infantry battalion equipped with Z4 wheeled armored vehicles. In addition, the 8th Infantry Division of the 10th Army also participated in this offensive, sending two infantry regiments to follow the armored forces to attack. Once the armored forces have broken through the American lines, they will be responsible for widening the gap and opening the way for subsequent non-reading. In addition, in order to fill the anti-tank trenches dug by the US military, hundreds of trucks loaded with sand and gravel are also ready to go.

"Squeak! Creak! The sound of tank tracks crushing the ground echoed through the valley. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles converged into a torrent of steel and rushed towards the American positions.

On the positions of the US military, and even at the height of San Luis Potosí, there are still dozens of Chinese space planes circling. Although the heavy artillery units of the American army suffered heavy losses, there were still a lot of heavy artillery left. If these heavy artillery attack the armored forces of the Chinese army, then the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces will not be able to withstand these heavy artillery. Therefore, a very important task of the Air Force is to destroy the heavy artillery units of the US army in time and provide protection for the armored units after they appear.

It's just that until the armored units of the 8th Army rushed in front of the American positions, the American artillery did not appear. Obviously, the U.S. military took the last remaining heavy artillery as treasures and hid them, for fear of being destroyed by the squadron.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the positions of the US troops, some mortars and mountain artillery began to shell Chinese armored units. It's just that these small-caliber grenades can't penetrate the thick armor of the tank at all. On the contrary, after the artillery was fired, their position was exposed, they were bombarded by tanks of the Chinese armored forces, and suffered heavy losses.

In less than twenty minutes, the armored units of the 8th Group Army of the Chinese Army approached the positions of the American troops and began to suppress the positions of the American troops! (To be continued......)
