Mexico. 【 I want: super fast update 】

70 km south of Nogales, on the banks of the Sonora River.

Under the setting sun, two reconnaissance air force-type Hummingbird long-range reconnaissance planes, after circling twice along the dry ancient river channel on the west side of the river bank, slowly lowered their wheels in alignment with the runway temporarily drawn with lime powder in the middle, spread their wings like two homing eagles, and landed steadily in the field airfield.

At the airport, dozens of rookies carefully selected by the Mexican military to learn to fly here gathered around, staring at the pilots emerging from the hummingbird with wide eyes and envy, dreaming of the moment when they soared into the blue sky.

As part of the alliance agreement, like the Japanese and North Korean pilots of the year, they will receive a six-week training of Chinese instructors; although the air force belongs to an industry with highly sensitive technology export restrictions, China can almost meet its needs in pilot training; because of China's superiority and combat experience in the air force, there are currently as many as several hundred pilots from Asian and South American countries learning to fly in China alone.

Special tents resembling makeshift hangars cover the entire riverbed, and even the Air Force brass admits that the desert salt lake terrain of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico is ideal for field airfields compared to the rainforests of Panama.

As before, field airfields were often home to the army headquarters, so the headquarters of the Third Army was located here.

When Shoushan walked into the tent, the staff officer immediately handed over the battle report: "General, General Nagayama has led the infantry division to help Mexico stabilize the defense line of Monterey Mountain in the east, and in addition, the Ninth Special Service Regiment has also arrived. ”

"Are the commanders of all divisions here?"

"It's all here, it's in the conference room."

Shan nodded, pinched the battle report and walked to the spacious big tent next to him with the staff officer, and immediately saluted when he saw the soldiers standing guard outside Shoushan. Inside the tent, dozens of division commanders were pointing at the map, and everyone stood up and greeted him when they saw him.

"It's all here, sit down."

The main composition of the Third Army is the original Northwest Army and Panama Group Army, and it is also a real coalition army, of which Japan and Korea each have 5 divisions, 1 South American mixed division, and the rest are all Chinese divisions, of which 2 are mechanized infantry divisions, 3 infantry divisions and 2 marine divisions, and are also equipped with an armored regiment, 4 divisions of the Air Force and 6 divisions in transit. Except for Nagayama's infantry division and 1 Korean division that went east to help Mexican troops stabilize the defensive line, and 2 Marine divisions and 1 Japanese division were cooperating in Tijuana to attack San Diego, almost all the remaining officers at and above the regimental level came here.

Obviously, there's a big task!

The commanders of all divisions are gearing up, and even the commanders of the DPRK divisions, who have poor combat effectiveness, are eager to try, and you must know that the United States is not a barren Panama, and if you can do a good job, maybe everyone can make a lot of money.

It is normal for soldiers to seize some private "trophies" in the course of fighting with their lives, and as long as they do not hide the special "contraband" that is not specified, they will not interfere, but also use transport ships to carry soldiers to bring the booty back to China, which not only ensures morale, but also greatly promotes the development of the postal industry, and even special postal planes have appeared in China recently.

Therefore, every time they go out on a big mission, the officers are very active, especially Japan and North Korea, not to mention that they have now avoided the rainforest area with complex terrain and difficult terrain, even if the North Korean army is worse, it is still not weak to fight the US army under such conditions.

Shoushan was very satisfied with everyone's state, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that the morale is good, and they are all ready to enter the United States." ”

"Lieutenant General, please give the order!"

"We're ready!"

“……。”

Hearing that everyone was full of momentum, Shoushan was not in a hurry, and said: "Staff Officer Chen, let's tell you about the situation first." ”

Mou walked to the map, picked up the baton and said: "At present, after the capture of Los Angeles by our Second Army, its main 7 divisions have moved to San Francisco to the north, and the forward has arrived in Santa Clara (near San Jose) outside San Francisco, which is less than 60 kilometers away from San Francisco, and the other 3 divisions are advancing towards Sacramento, and the US troops stationed there have become frightened birds, and reconnaissance shows that they have begun to withdraw troops to Oregon in the north last night.

Thirteen divisions of the First Army have already arrived, of which seven infantry divisions are cooperating with our three divisions in the attack on San Diego, and the remaining seven divisions will all arrive in seven days.

In addition, the Korean Fifth Army and the Japanese Sixth Army had already set off two days earlier, and the first batch of 10 divisions was expected to arrive in Los Angeles in 15 days, and the Fourth Army was currently being assembled, and all of the above units would arrive later than the end of February. ”

"The above is our situation, now I will talk about the US military in front of us." The staff officer moistened his throat and continued: "After the Los Angeles miss, half of the American troops fled back to San Diego, but due to the lack of naval support, after the San Diego fortress was unable to hold, they are accelerating the retreat to Arizona, judging from the aircraft reconnaissance, most of them are concentrated on the Phoenix railway line, plus the 4 armies deployed here before, the US troops gathered in Phoenix have reached 6 armies, about 1.1 million, if San Diego is all withdrawn, the total is expected to reach 8 armies."

In addition, there has been a change in the five corps stationed in the State of Mexico, one of the three corps that attacked Mexico has been retracted, and the other two corps have begun to move closer to the Arizona border, and the British North American Expeditionary Force previously stationed in Colorado has also begun to be transferred by rail, and we expect that they will probably come to Arizona or the State of Mexico as well.

There is also an important situation, the U.S. War Department has reactivated Joseph Pershing, according to intelligence, he has now arrived in Dallas, which has become the headquarters of the U.S. Southwest Theater of Operations, and the U.S. Army's abandonment of the California retreat this time is also led by him! ”

"So the theater command has decided to completely encircle and annihilate the US troops currently gathered in Arizona." After hearing what the staff officer said, Shoushan also stood up, and after signaling to distribute the battle plan he had just obtained to the commanders of the divisions, he continued: "From a geographical point of view, the north of Arizona is a plateau, the air is thin and the terrain is deserted, and there is no railway, so it is impossible for the main force of the US army to pass through there, so the remaining troops must also go to Phoenix.

In addition, we can't give the U.S. troops stationed in Texas and Mexico a chance to support Phoenix, so in addition to cooperating with the First Army to encircle Phoenix, we must also move north along the Rio Grande River to quickly occupy Albuquerque and cut off the connection with the U.S. forces! ”

"Do you have any questions?" After Shoushan finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and asked.

"General, the plan is feasible, but at present, Juarez is in the hands of the US military, and if we attack Juarez by force, it will inevitably cause concern to the US military, maybe it will scare away the US troops in Phoenix, or it will accelerate the US troops in the State of Mexico to the west."

"You can rest assured that we will not attack Juarez, the troops are divided into two parts, one part will break through the border from Nogales to cooperate with the attack on Phoenix, and the other part will move east along the border, and cut off Demin and go directly north to the Rio Grande."

"General, Albuquerque is 300 kilometers from Deming, and if we want to cut it off quickly, our logistics and transportation capabilities may not be able to keep up. And there will be at least 2 armies intercepting them along the way, and we must move them away first. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Shoushan nodded: "We don't have much time, and the command requires us to occupy Albuquerque within 4 days and cut off the US army!" So I need the troops to take all their breath this time, I will send all the trucks to help with the transportation, and the Mexicans will also provide 3,000 wagons!

As for the interception force, you can rest assured that my infantry division will act as the vanguard to protect your flank, and the armored division of the First Army has already set off, and they will attack to distract the American troops! ”

"General, you said that the armored division set off from Los Angeles and crossed California and Arizona to distract the attention of the American army?!" Shan Ye, who was sitting next to him, suddenly understood, but his eyes widened in surprise, this road is at least 600 kilometers, not to mention how many enemies intercept along the way, I'm afraid that the gasoline alone will have to be replenished several times, isn't this too crazy? However, he must also admit that if there is really an armored division interspersed back and forth in the heart of Arizona, I am afraid that the US military will not be able to concentrate too many troops to intercept its own side.

"Yes, so whether it can succeed depends on how many American troops they can attract, but we can't put all our hopes on them, we have to have enough ourselves!" After Shoushan finished speaking, he immediately shouted: "Major General Shanye, Major General Jing Chengen." ”

"Hi (yes)."

"600 trucks and 60 armored vehicles just arrived yesterday, and 500 Lewis machine guns and ammunition from Australia, and you can bring them all back in a moment to strengthen the mobility of the troops."

"Give it all to us?" Hearing Shoushan's words, the two almost couldn't believe it, you must know that although everyone is a coalition army, Hua has also provided some assistance, but the main equipment and weapons need to be purchased from China or made by themselves, due to the poor economic strength of the two countries, even machine guns and artillery are very few after meeting the guns and ammunition, not to mention luxury trucks and armored vehicles, so the firepower and mobility of the troops are not one or two levels worse than Hua.

After being shy in the pocket, the troops of the two countries often stared at the machine guns and artillery left by the US military in looting the trophies, anyway, China did not need it much, but after Panama, it saved a lot, and the trucks also had more than 300 captured American cars, but compared to so many divisions, it was still a drop in the bucket, and the US military trucks were slow, and it was difficult to maintain because of the lack of accessories, so I was very happy to hear that this aid was full of 600 trucks and 60 armored vehicles.

What's more, there are 500 Lewis machine guns captured in the Australian battlefield, which will greatly enhance the firepower of their troops, so the two of them were excited, and immediately patted their chests and promised: "General rest assured, with trucks and armored vehicles, we will definitely be able to complete the mission!" ”

"Very good, let's go back and prepare, the attack will start tomorrow morning!"

"Yes."
