"Parking! Nine o'clock! Fire! "A T5 'Gepard' medium tank came to a halt with its muzzle spinning rapidly, aiming at a point of heavy machine gun fire that was firing.

"Boom!" An armor-piercing shell burst out of the 57mm tank gun, and in the blink of an eye, the heavy machine gun fire point was blown into the sky. After that, the tanks continued to advance, crushing through the barbed wire fence set up by the American troops in front of the defensive line, and drove towards the American positions. The whole process takes less than thirty seconds. The muzzle of the tank is constantly rotating, looking for valuable targets. The machine guns on the tanks were used to kill the American troops exposed to the fortifications. One by one, American soldiers fell under the machine-gun sweeps of the tanks. The tracks ran over their corpses, leaving a long trail of blood.

The three armored brigades of the Chinese army launched a siege on Atlisco, and although the American army still had more than 100,000 troops here, they could not resist the attack of the Chinese armored forces at all, and they retreated all the way. In less than half an hour, Atrisco's perimeter defenses were all gone. At 4 p.m., the squadron entered Atlisco and began to clear the city of American troops.

In street fighting, both tanks and armored vehicles need to be protected by infantry, otherwise they are vulnerable to enemy attacks. Even if there are no weapons that are now not designed to deal with tanks and armored vehicles, the human imagination is limitless. Even if there is no way to destroy the tank directly, there is no problem with heavy damage.

During the attack of the Chinese Army's armored units, an American soldier tied more than a dozen grenades together. He hid on a street corner. When the tanks of the Chinese Army passed by. He threw a grenade onto the tracks of the tank. These strapped together after the grenade exploded. Although it did not have the armor that was able to destroy the tank, it blew up the tracks of the tank. The tank could not move forward and could only be used as a stationary battery.

Although the infantry who arrived later killed the American soldier, such a method of dealing with tanks spread, and many American officers and soldiers began to attack Chinese tanks. As a result, the armored forces had to send more troops to coordinate the tank attack.

"Da Da Da!" On top of a two-story building. A U.S. machine gun swept the street, killing several Chinese soldiers who had no time to dodge, but many more hid on either side of the street or on the other side of the tank. Dense bullets hit the armor of the tank with a clanging sound. The muzzle of the tank quickly turned, and after aiming at the enemy, it immediately opened fire. "Boom!" With a bang, a ball of fire erupted on the two-story building, and the American soldiers and machine guns that fired at the squadron had disappeared without a trace.

Several of the main infantry divisions of the Chinese Army, together with armored units, launched an attack on the American forces holding Atlisco, and began to gradually clear the American forces in the city. With the assistance of armored units, the Chinese Army's street fighting capability has been greatly improved. Although the narrow streets inside are not conducive to the movement of tanks. But the thick armor was more than enough to withstand most attacks. It is also capable of providing defense for the infantry in the rear. Coupled with the ferocious firepower of the tank, there is basically no stronghold or fire point that can withstand the bombardment of the armor-piercing shells of the tank gun. Under such a blow. The U.S. forces were still losing ground in the city of Atlisco.

To deal with tanks, it is better to use anti-tank guns, and this kind of straight fire can easily penetrate the armor of the tank. And mortars, such curved artillery, could hardly hit the vital points of the tank. In particular, the T5 'Cheetah' tank has frontal armor up to 57 mm thick, and unless it is directly hit by a large-caliber mortar, there is no need to worry about being destroyed. Of course, the US military can also bombard with large-caliber howitzers, but unless it hits a large number of large-caliber howitzers and the distance between the two sides is far enough. Under such circumstances, it is natural that the US military will not be able to withstand the attack of the armored forces of the Chinese Army.

Atlisco was originally a small city, with a permanent population of less than 50,000. After the U.S. military built the central defensive line, the Mexicans here basically fled, and there were not many residents left in the city. Therefore, when the Chinese army attacked, it could use artillery without hesitation, and even in the neighborhood where the US military met fierce resistance, it called in large-caliber artillery to carry out a destructive strike, blowing the entire neighborhood into ruins. Of course, even if there are Mexicans, in order to protect their soldiers, the commanders of the squadron will probably give an order to agree. The so-called non-self people will have different hearts, and no one will sacrifice their own soldiers to protect those outsiders.

The Chinese Army has completely taken the initiative in the battle to attack Atlisco, and one building after another has been gradually cleared and destroyed, and the American officers and soldiers inside have either been killed or surrendered. Slowly, after the streets were captured by the Chinese army, the casualties of the US troops were getting bigger and bigger, and the area of control was also shrinking rapidly. An hour later, the squadron had captured half of the city of Atlisco.

"Commander, the attack in the city has been very smooth, and now we have captured nearly half of the city. It is expected that the battle will be over before dark and that Atlisco will be captured! A staff officer excitedly reported to Admiral Xie Dingkun. It is also the first time for the Chinese Army to be able to capture a city with 150,000 U.S. troops in one day and completely annihilate these U.S. troops, and its own casualties are still very small.

"Very good, but do the Americans still have the courage to continue fighting? Let the front-line troops stop attacking for the time being and give the Americans a chance to surrender! Admiral Xie Dingkun said. Although, compared to the huge casualties of the US army, the losses of the squadron are relatively small. But if the U.S. military can surrender on its own initiative, it will always be able to reduce the casualties of the squadron. What's more, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 US troops in the war, and if the US military continues to resist stubbornly, there will be great variables. Although Admiral Xie Dingkun did not know the losses of the front-line troops, he knew that the armored troops must have paid a certain amount of casualties in the battle for the attack on Atlisko. Those tanks may not have been destroyed, but there are certainly many tanks that have been damaged due to breakdowns or whose tracks have been blown up. There is also the most important reason, Atrisco is only 30 kilometers away from Puebla, it is only 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the end of April is already dark and late, after the rapid end of the battle of Atrisco, the main force of the Chinese army still has a chance to rush to Puebla to cut off the retreat of the American army to escape back to Mexico City.

"Yes, Commander!" The staff officer nodded, and was about to leave. At this time, Admiral Xie Dingkun continued.

"Sue the Americans, they only have twenty minutes. After that we will no longer accept their surrender! Admiral Xie Dingkun added.

"Yes!" The staff officer saluted and quickly left.

"Someone! An order was given to the light tank battalions of the armoured brigades to rush to Puebla at once and block the way for the American troops to flee back to Mexico. Let the twenty infantry divisions from the 131st Infantry Division to the 150th Infantry Division cooperate with them. There is no need to launch an attack on Puebla, just block the Americans and wait for the big forces to arrive! Admiral Xie Dingkun ordered. Light tank battalions of 3 armored brigades, a total of several hundred tanks, plus twenty infantry divisions. These forces were enough even for the American troops to attack Puetra, let alone cut off the retreat of the American troops to escape back to Mexico City.

"Yes, Commander!" The signal corps immediately received the order and gave orders to the troops as quickly as possible.

In less than twenty minutes, six light tank battalions and twenty infantry divisions began their march eastward. The U.S. army only has 8 corps in the entire Puebla region, and except for 3 corps deployed to Atlisco, there are only 5 corps and 250,000 men left here in Puebla. Although the T4 "Wild Wolf" light tank has weak armor and is not suitable for street fighting, it is definitely not something that the US military can deal with in field warfare. The reason why Admiral Xie Dingkun made such an arrangement was obviously to eat all the hundreds of thousands of American troops and not give them a chance to escape. The only thing General Xie Dingkun was worried about was whether the commander of the American army would abandon Puebla and flee back to Mexico City because Atlisco was quickly taken down by the squadron. It's just that this may be very small. After all, if the fortified city garrisoned by hundreds of thousands of American troops was given up lightly, then how could he explain to Admiral Pershing and the United States.

In the city of Atlisco, the positions defended by the US army were constantly seized by the squadron, and their defense area was getting smaller and smaller, and at the same time, morale was also declining rapidly. In the face of the squadron's tactics of tank and infantry coordinated operations, in the absence of effective countermeasures, the US military has no way to resist at all.

The headquarters of the U.S. military is the basement of a warehouse in the city. The commander of the US army, Major General Donald, was frowning at the moment. Every once in a while, an officer would report to him that a certain street was occupied by the Chinese again, how many troops they had lost, and so on. Such a battle report made Admiral Donald very angry, but more helpless.

There is no doubt that Atlisco can no longer hold on, and Major General Donald did not have the luxury of expecting a miracle. However, he had thought that he would be able to hold out at least until tomorrow, so that he might be able to buy more time for Puebla's allies. But judging from the battlefield situation of the war, it is likely that the squadron will capture Atlisco before the sun sets. When the time comes, they, the generals of the US army, will either die in battle or become prisoners of the squadron! )
