After the U.S. forces in Salt Lake City were encircled and annihilated, the U.S. High Command considered that the long defensive line was unfavorable to command, so it established the Southern Front Defense Command to effectively command the defensive operations on the Southern Front. Han Ruowei, chief of the general staff of the US-British coalition forces, was once again ordered to command all troops on the southern front. With the British troops in action, it was most appropriate for him to serve as commander of the Southern Front. The Southern Front Command was located in Austin, and at this moment Han Ruowei stared at the military map and was silent. He sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Commander, it has been 5 days since a division of the enemy launched a strong attack on Granzi, but no enemy troops have been found on both flanks, which seems to be a little abnormal." Han Ruowei said: "5 days of strong attack, but there is no progress, is the 32nd Army Corps a solid defensive force?" The chief of staff was an American and replied: "I also feel strange that the enemy has not even occupied a surface position." The 32 Corps had previously been stationed in Mexico and had not experienced brutal fighting, which is also where I was confused. ”

Han Ruowei subconsciously looked at Tucson and asked, "How is Tucson?" Although the enemy intensified the attack, General Michael, the commander of the Tucson defense, judged that the enemy was under the influence of Salt Lake City, and his morale was greatly boosted, so he stepped up the offensive. General Michael told him that he was confident in a solid defense. Han Ruowei asked, "If the enemy army puts up a maze array on the second line of Gran, what will be the outcome of its main force going south?" "You mean that the enemy army is feinting on the Grant front, and the main enemy army is heading south, aiming at Tucson?"

Han Ruowei said decisively: "There is no doubt that the enemy army launched a feint attack in Grantz. Its main force must have moved south. Han Ruowei walked to the map and said, "General Michael's defense is under great pressure and cannot retreat quickly. If the order to retreat is given now, the defending forces will immediately collapse. A force must be dispatched to meet the situation, which can ensure the safe retreat of the Tucson defense forces in the event of a critical situation. General Michael was ordered to reinforce the northern garrison and to retreat as soon as enemy forces were discovered. The Royal 15th Army was ordered to send a division to seize Mount Kent. ”

The Royal 15th Army was stationed at Deming on the eastern side of Kent, about 80 kilometres from Mount Kent. The British Royal 15th Army received an order to send the 43rd Division overnight, and the British arrived on the east side of Kent Mountain in a truck. Mount Kent runs north-south and is about 2,000 meters above sea level. When the British troops arrived, they began to climb slowly to the top of the mountain, in the eyes of the British commander. The Kent Hills are uneventful. It happened that in the early morning, the 10th Division also rushed to the west side of Kent Mountain and began to climb the mountain. Both sides have no idea what is going on with each other, and an encounter is inevitable.

If you look down from the air, you can clearly see soldiers from both sides reaching the summit at the same time. The British army was very slow. They carried backpacks and were loaded with guns and ammunition, so they couldn't go fast at all. The officers and men of the 10th Division of the Expeditionary Force were lightly armed, so the ascent to the summit was fast. The soldiers climbed up the hill. They also help each other. A soldier was the first to reach the top of the mountain. Before the celebration was celebrated, the British army was the first to be discovered, and suddenly the battle broke out. The soldiers of the expeditionary force were shocked to find the enemy and desperately climbed to the top of the mountain. The British army did not show weakness and accelerated the speed of reaching the summit.

The battle started locally, and then began to expand. In terms of combat effectiveness, the British army is inferior to the American army. In less than an hour of fierce fighting, the British army crawled back. When Han Ruowei received a report that there were enemy troops in Kent Mountain, his head immediately became big. He ordered the British 43rd Division to launch a fierce attack and recapture Mount Kent. At the same time, the entire Royal 15th Army was ordered to go out to support the operation. In addition, he ordered General Michael to immediately prepare for a breakout. A battle of encirclement and annihilation began in a hurry. But for the US military, it was a disaster.

On the march, Shao Bo received a telegram from the 10th Division that he had encountered British troops at Mount Kent. At present, the department has occupied Kent Hill. Shao Bo said decisively: "Order the 3rd Army to rush to Mount Kent at dusk." The 4th Army was ordered to quickly outflank Tucson to the north, and the 5th and 6th Armies were ordered to quickly outflank Tucson from the north. In addition, Wang Huzi was informed to immediately launch an offensive in the south to prevent the US troops from escaping...... "It seems that the US troops have guessed our intentions, but unfortunately they are one step late." If the British army wants to break through the defense of the 10th Division, it must not put wings in it. The chief of staff said lightly.

"I'm not worried about the British attack, I'm worried about the US military breaking through in a big way. Now it's up to who's fast. As soon as Shao Bo's voice fell, a communications officer Pegasus rushed to report: "Report, the 7th Corps has called, and the two armies under its command have launched an offensive in the south. "Great, I'm afraid it's no fun for the U.S. military to retreat." "Wang Huzi is moving so fast, it seems that his troops have moved to the south in advance, this kid is very shrewd!" "Don't look at his five big and three rough, when I was in the military school, I often teased him that he would live, this kid is very good at calculations, so it is not surprising that his two armies quickly appeared on the south side."

"It turns out that you are alumni, no wonder Wang Huzi gave you face." "At the beginning I was in Army Group Center, he was in the Eastern Front. When forming the Australian Front, I met him unexpectedly. This kid is a steady man, so he has risen through the ranks. Commander Ha made a good impression of him, especially when it came to the capture of Australia, this kid fought several good battles. "Report, 4th Army report, encountered U.S. forces southeast of Tucson!" Shao Bo was stunned for a moment, immediately checked the map, patted his thigh, and said: "The US commander has a water in his head, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that our encirclement has not been formed and escape in the direction of Santa Fe." ”

"It's easier now, it's easier for us to destroy U.S. troops in the field. The 5th and 6th armies were ordered to outflank to the east, and the 4th army was to defend on the spot. In addition, Wang Huzi was informed that the Tucson American troops were to flee to the northeast and asked him to intensify the attack. Shao Bo seemed to be confident after speaking, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face. Shao Bo glanced down at his watch, the hour and minute hands pointed to 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and said: "Order the headquarters to stop advancing, if nothing else, the battle will be over by this time tomorrow, let's wait for the good news of victory!" ”

In the morning, Commander Michael was startled when he received an order from Han Ruowei, and the enemy army appeared in Kent Hill, which meant that the escape route to the east was blocked. In a trance, Michael remembered the scene in Salt Lake City, and his head immediately sweated. He then drew his troops and prepared to quickly attack Kent Hill, and join up with the British army to break out. Michael was dispatching troops, and one of his subordinates made an urgent report: "Report to the commander, the enemy's two corps have suddenly launched a major attack in the south!" Michael was a little dumbfounded. The chief of staff said: "The enemy forces are intent on holding us back so that we cannot break through. At present, the north has not yet formed a situation of encirclement, perhaps a glimmer of hope. ”

"Report, Commander Han Ruowei called, the British Royal 15 Army rushed to support Kent Mountain, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the afternoon. He ordered us to immediately organize forces to flank Mount Kent. "This is the scene in Salt Lake City, and we can't sit still. The combat effectiveness of the British army did not dare to compliment, and relying on the British to save their lives was only to wait for death. I decided to break through to Santa Fe in the northeast before the enemy could complete the encirclement, which was our first chance of survival. But where did Michael think that at this time, the 4th Army was outflanking in the northeast, and the two sides met unexpectedly and collided.

Less than 5 kilometers out of the city, Michael led his headquarters to receive a report from the forward troops that they had encountered a large number of enemy troops. In desperation, it was impossible for Michael to withdraw to Tucson. The covering troops had lost their will to fight, and the two corps of the 7th Corps broke through the U.S. defense line from southern Tucson, and the U.S. covering force collapsed immediately. Receiving reports of the collapse of the covering force, Michael hurriedly turned northeast and ordered the forward force to attack to the death and tear a gap. However, this was just wishful thinking, and with the 5th and 6th armies pressing from the west, Michael had no way to return to heaven.

The battlefield unfolded in the wilderness, and the American troops soon lost their unified command and fought separately. More than 100,000 soldiers from the two major corps surrounded the United States, and the American army was surrounded by regiments in an area of less than 5 square kilometers northwest of Tucson. At this time, Michael regretted it, but there is no regret medicine sold in the world. At midnight, the soldiers of the expeditionary force stopped their attack, and after dawn began a major attack. Michael is crying every day, crying is not working, and 100,000 American troops are in a catastrophe.

Han Ruowei received a report of Michael's unauthorized retreat to the northeast, and appeared to be sitting in a chair with a black ass in front of him. "Michael, this bastard, has disobeyed military orders, and the court-martials will never forgive him," the chief of staff roared. Han Ruowei looked up to the sky and sighed: "He has no chance to go to court-martial, and soon he will become a prisoner of war." The Royal 15th Army was ordered to stop the attack and retreat, and immediately report to the High Command. Han Ruowei leaned back in his chair weakly, and the harsh reality teased him once more. The repeatedly defeated general was once again on the list, and Han Ruowei was discouraged and had the idea of leaving.

The battle was not fierce, and the bloody American generals were spontaneously resisting. The U.S. forces were almost shattered, and the battle continued until the afternoon of the next day, when, as Shao Bo had predicted, the U.S. troops surrendered in their formations of defensive weapons. Originally, Michael wanted to commit suicide, but the desire to survive prevailed over death, and in the end he ordered the guards to surrender. On the battlefield, two military jeeps were parked next to each other from different directions. "Haha, Brother Shao, your wonderful combination punch is too high, I didn't expect the ending to be like this." Wang Huzi was elated.

"Wang Huzi, it's not that I can pinch it, it's that the commander of the U.S. military is too stupid." As soon as Shao Bo's words fell, a subordinate Pegasus rushed to report: "Report, the commander of the US military has brought it." Shao Bo and Wang Huzi got out of the car, only to see Michael and a group of generals being brought over in a dejected manner. Shao Bo and Wang Huzi saluted with the demeanor of soldiers, and Michael was a little shocked and reluctantly returned the military salute. Shao Bo said: "General Michael, it's not that you are incompetent. I can officially tell you that the fate of American soldiers was sealed from the moment the imperial army set foot on American soil. ”

Michael seemed thoughtful, and for a moment he was dumbfounded, moving slowly, his tall body very obscene. "Immediately report to the headquarters of the expeditionary force to completely annihilate two corps and one artillery division of the U.S. army in Tucson." Shao Bo announced loudly, and a tsunami-like shout came out of the battlefield.

As soon as Han Ruowei took office, he was hit head-on. In this regard, Han Ruowei was very wise and asked the US-British Allied Forces Command to resign from all military posts and return to his hometown. Before leaving, Han Ruowei said to the chief of staff: "There is no hope for the United States, and that day will come soon!" (To be continued......)

PS: Before taking a breath, the U.S. military was hit again.
