Two kilometers south of Verhochingo, on the flat ground on both sides of the road from Puebla to Mexico City, black steel monsters were parked there, and the white moonlight shone on these steel monsters, leaving a faint shadow on the ground.

These tanks belong to the reconnaissance battalion of the armored brigade of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army, which has a tank company equipped with 18 T4 'Wild Wolf' light tanks, two mechanized infantry companies equipped with 9 wheeled armored vehicles each, and an artillery company with 4 infantry guns and 4 120 mm heavy howitzers, plus other troops, the entire reconnaissance battalion has a total of more than 1,000 people. However, unlike other infantry units, this reconnaissance battalion is equipped with a large number of trucks, and the march is all by truck, which is much faster than traditional infantry.

After the main forces of the 2nd Army arrived in Vekhodingo, this reconnaissance battalion was sent to the south to be on alert, to report to the main forces immediately if they encountered American troops, and at the same time to be able to intercept American troops for a while.

"Battalion commander, the Americans are coming! There are at least tens of thousands of people in the endless queue! A young soldier ran down a hill next to the road and reported to the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Major Li Yuxian.

"It's good to come! Get the artillery ready! As soon as my order is given, open fire! All tanks and armored vehicles are also ready, and as soon as the shelling begins, charge at the enemy! Major Li Yuxian ordered. At this moment, his spirit was a little excited, although there were tens of thousands of American troops who were coming, and his reconnaissance battalion was only a thousand in total. But he wasn't scared. On the contrary, I was a little excited. The main task of reconnaissance units in peacetime is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and they rarely have the opportunity to participate in large-scale operations. And this time, it's their chance. Although the number of American troops was large, Major Li Yuxian believed that he would suddenly attack the American troops under the cover of night. With the power of tanks and armored vehicles, it is quite possible to crush the American army!

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The signal corps immediately went down to deliver the order. In the entire team, a pre-war depression began to permeate.

In the distance, a group of American troops was marching north, led by hundreds of cavalry. Behind the cavalry, trucks loaded with large quantities of war materiel and dragging artillery. On either side were infantry with rifles. These troops are none other than the 75th Infantry Division of the US Army. They were ordered to be the first to march north from Puebla and serve as the order to open the way for most of them. Most of the soldiers had a little tiredness on their faces. Originally, this time. It was supposed to be time to rest, but now they had to hurry. However, no one complained, although it was harder, but it was much better than being caught up by the Chinese and killing them all.

The 75th Infantry Division was a descendant of Lieutenant General Richard, having previously fought in the Battle of the Southern Sierra Madre Line. The damage was relatively minor. The 75th Infantry Division was also the first to be replenished and strengthened with anti-aircraft equipment following the arrival of reinforcements from within the United States. Lieutenant General Richard had high hopes for all the divisions under his 19th Army. This time, the evacuation of Puebla before the Chinese chased after it was also to preserve strength to the maximum. Lieutenant General Richard thought that he would be able to escape before the squadron arrived, but he never expected that the squadron did not put all its strength in Atlisco, and had already let the main force of the US army slip away.

"How long will it take to get to Verkhodingo?" A Brigadier General on a warhorse asked. He was Brigadier General Wayne, commander of the 75th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. He worked as a cowboy when he was younger, and he didn't like to ride in a car, but found it comfortable to ride a horse.

"General, we are now only three kilometers from Verkhodingo. However, the soldiers were already very tired. Isn't it possible for us to take a break in Verkhodingo! "said the chief of staff of the 75th Infantry Division, Colonel Allen.

Brigadier General Wayne hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! After getting to Verhochingo, we can rest for half an hour! "The rush from Puebla was really tiring.

Brigadier General Wayne's agreement to take a break from Vehochingo made the American soldiers cheer. Officers can travel in cars, or at least, ordinary soldiers can only travel on two legs. Being able to take a break is something that everyone is looking forward to. However, they did not know that he would never be able to reach Vekhotingo again.

At 9:15 p.m. on April 26, the reconnaissance battalion of the Armored Brigade of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army and the 75th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army encountered each other and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, kicking off the Battle of Puebla.

"Fire!" When the vanguard of the American army entered the distance of less than 800 meters, Major Li Yuxian gave the order to open fire. The artillery battery, deployed on a hill next to the road, began to fire artillery at the American troops at the maximum rate of fire. At the same time, tanks and armored vehicles were launched, making a rumbling sound.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The cannon exploded in the ranks of the American troops, and the flames flew everywhere. A truck loaded with cannons was hit, triggering a detonation, and an orange fireball looked so brilliant under the night sky.

The U.S. military was completely confused by this sudden blow, and the night gave the squadron a good cover, and the U.S. military did not expect the squadron to ambush here. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Brigadier General Wayne didn't expect it, he subconsciously thought that the squadron might be rushing from Atrisco to Puebla, but he didn't expect that the squadron had already appeared here.

"How could the Chinese be here? Has the road to Mexico City been cut off? Brigadier General Wayne thought with a pale face.

"Enemy attack! Take cover! Get ready to fight back! "The U.S. military was a little flustered by the surprise attack, but the officers played a big role at this time, ordering the troops to disperse and organize a counterattack.

A large number of U.S. soldiers ran to the flat ground on both sides of the road, looking for shelter. Machine gunners and mortars also began to be erected, ready to return fire. The artillery of the American army also took action, and they braved the fire of the squadron, unloaded the artillery from the back of the truck, and prepared to launch an artillery attack on the squadron. The artillery of the squadron opened fire on the hill, and the shining fire from the muzzle of the gun was also very clear at night.

"The scale of the Chinese is not huge! Colonel Allen, order the 1st Regiment to attack and break through the enemy's positions! Brigadier General Wayne ordered. The artillery bombardment of the squadron was not fierce, and he could see from this that the army that appeared in front of the 75th Infantry Division was nothing more than a small force. Brigadier General Wayne believes that in order to block the retreat of the American troops, the Chinese sent such a small force on a long journey to Vekhotingo before the American troops. As long as the Chinese interception is broken, the road to Mexico City can be opened. This is also the task of the 75th Infantry Division of the US Army.

While the artillery bombarded the US troops, other units of the reconnaissance battalion of the Chinese army were not idle. Major Li Yuxian knew that his troops were weak, and if he waited for the U.S. troops to react and be prepared, it would not be so easy for him to defeat the U.S. troops.

Therefore, as soon as the artillery began to shell, Major Li Yuxian gave the order to attack!

Eighteen T4 Wolf light tanks and 18 Z4 wheeled armored vehicles began to move towards the positions of the American troops. Despite the fact that it was night, the vicinity was all flat, suitable for armored units to fight. At the same time, the fire that broke out when the US army counterattacked also gave them guidance.

Eighteen T4 Wolf light tanks rushed to the front, and the 37mm tank guns on them began to open fire, bombarding the gathered American troops with high explosives. Although the 37mm tank gun is not very powerful, it is still a life-harvesting weapon against infantry without any protection.

The U.S. military, which was organizing a defensive line, also found tanks in the squadron. The blackened tanks, illuminated by the white moonlight, were like hell like dragons crawling out. In particular, the tank guns and machine guns that were constantly firing were like flames spewing out of the dragon.

"Oh God! What is this? The hell dragon summoned by the Chinese? "It was the first time that the U.S. troops deployed in Puebla had seen tanks of Chinese armored forces, and it was still at night, because the light was too dark to see clearly. They quickly took these tanks and armored vehicles as the hell dragons of the story.

The tanks drove towards the American positions with the sound of rumbling motors and creaking tracks crushing the ground. The panicked US troops scattered and fled, and few people had the courage to confront the tanks of the squadron.

"General! Chinese weapons. The soldiers are already too timid to fight, what should we do now? Colonel Allen asked in horror. They had just been attacked by a surprise attack, and in the face of such a blow, it was already difficult for the troops to stabilize themselves.

"Bastard! The number of Chinese is not very large. Order the troops to stabilize the line of defense! Block the Chinese! Brigadier Wayne snarled in exasperation. Although it was night, I don't know how many people there are in the squadron. But in his experience, this army must have been just a small one. His 75th Infantry Division, with more than 12,000 people, can't it beat a small force of the Chinese?

In fact, it is. How does flesh and blood fight the Iron Monsters? The defensive line formed by the U.S. troops in a hurry was lightly run over by the Chinese tanks, and the heavy machine guns and tank guns on the tanks wantonly slaughtered these U.S. troops. Behind the tank, armored vehicles followed above. The soldiers inside, through the firing holes on both sides of the guò armored car, opened heavy fire on the American troops, causing great casualties to the American troops! To be continued.
