At 10 a.m. on April 27, on the improvised road from Vehochengo to Mexico City, the squadron in dark green combat uniforms was moving quickly on the road, like a long green dragon winding and circling on the ground.

In front of the entire contingent, there were three armored brigades of light tank battalions and mechanized infantry battalions. In order to rush to Mexico City as soon as possible, the commander of the 7th Army, General Du Qizheng, specially asked the armored forces to set off first. In addition, in order to equip these armored units with supporting infantry, Admiral Du Qizheng transferred more than 200 trucks from the baggage troops and transported an infantry regiment to accompany them.

Admiral Du Qizheng knew that once the American troops in Mexico City knew that Lieutenant General Richard had led his troops to surrender, they would definitely retreat from Mexico City. And their task is to keep the main force of the US military as much as possible. After all, it is a hundred kilometers from Verhochengo to Mexico City. If Admiral Pershing had noticed that something was wrong and had already retreated, they would not have been able to catch up. Fortunately, there are two million U.S. troops in Mexico City and the area south of Mexico City. Even if Admiral Pershing ordered a retreat, so many troops would not be able to move in a moment. Marshal Zhao Bowen also asked General Du Qizheng to keep the main force of the US army as much as possible.

"General, call from the command!" A war horse caught up with Admiral Du Qizheng's car and forwarded a telegram from the headquarters to him.

Admiral Du Qizheng took the telegram and read it, and then his face became very stern. The telegram was sent by Marshal Zhao Bowen, informing him that the American army had begun to withdraw from Mexico City. In order to stop the US troops, Marshal Zhao Bowen had already ordered the fighters of the Air Force to bomb the retreating US troops. Marshal Zhao Bowen asked General Du Qizheng to rush to Mexico City before dark to plug this gap and block more American troops!

"Someone. Give orders to the armored units on the front line to speed up, be sure to reach Mexico City by 6 p.m., and choose a favorable terrain to deploy a blocking position to block the way of the Americans' retreat! After General Du Qizheng put away the telegram, he gave the order. At the moment, they were still 70 kilometers away from Mexico City, and they had to cover 70 kilometers in eight hours, and they had to choose favorable terrain to build a blocking position. This means that the armored units at the front must increase their speed to more than ten kilometers per hour.

"Yes, Commander!" The herald quickly conveyed the order. After receiving the order, the armored troops in front of the entire team accelerated again, and slowly shook off the infantry units behind them, and quickly rushed towards Mexico City.

The maximum road speed of the T4 Wild Wolf light tank is thirty km/h. The off-road speed is ten kilometers per hour. The road from Verhochengo to Mexico City is an easy one, but it's a lot more than the wilderness. The T4 Wolf light tank could move at a speed of about twenty kilometers in less than an hour. It's just that after 70 kilometers, I don't know how many tanks will be left to continue fighting. The Z4 wheeled armored vehicles are a little faster, but they will act together as a supporting force for the tank. There were also soldiers of an infantry regiment loaded in trucks in the back. In order to avoid the destruction of tanks and armored vehicles as much as possible, the armored troops controlled the speed of the advance to 15 kilometers per hour. If nothing happens, they will arrive in Mexico City in 5 hours.

The decisive retreat of the American troops. The squadron had to speed up the progress of the war, otherwise, it was very likely to watch the US troops slip away, which was not what Marshal Zhao Bowen and the other generals of the squadron wanted to see. For this campaign. They had been preparing for a long time in order to keep the main force of the American army in Mexico City and annihilate it. If the main forces of the U.S. army withdraw, it will be all in vain! Once the campaign is successful. After the main force of the United States is eliminated in Mexico City, it is also very advantageous for the squadron to win the next war.

For this. In addition to ordering Admiral Du Qizheng to speed up the pursuit, the Air Force group also launched an attack on the retreating US troops. At 11:40 a.m., a fleet of more than 200 Air Force planes flew north of Mexico City and launched an attack on the U.S. troops who were withdrawing from the Guò road. The F5 'Hai Dongqing' fighter plane circled over the US military contingent and attacked the US troops with bombs mounted on its wings and aviation machine guns in the nose. The U.S. military, which marched intensively on the highway, undoubtedly became the best target. Often a volley of bullets hits, and a long line of American troops falls in a pool of blood!

The advantage of the H5 'Hongyan' bomber's large bomb load was brought into full play at this moment. Each H5 'Hongyan' bomber can carry one ton of aerial bombs, and if all of them carry 25 kilograms of aerial bombs, they can carry 40 aerial bombs. When these bombs fell on the heads of the American troops intensively, it was enough to cause great damage to the retreating American troops. The FH5 "Falcon" dive bomber put the main target of attack on the US military convoy, whether it was a truck loaded with military supplies or a truck towing artillery, it became the target of their attack. Whenever the FH5 'Falcon' dive bomber dived and dropped bombs, the sharp whistling sound emitted made the US officers and soldiers below cover their ears and scatter and flee. Truck after truck was blown up, clogging the road. In particular, after some trucks loaded with artillery shells were blown up, the US officers and men in the surrounding area caused great casualties. The Mexican government troops and Mexicans marching in the fields on both sides of the road were even more stunned. They frantically fled into the surrounding mountains and forests, so as not to be affected by the pond fish!

"Bastard! Stand up the anti-aircraft machine guns and knock down the Chinese planes for me! The officers of the U.S. Army shouted angrily when they saw their soldiers being ravaged by Chinese Air Force fighters.

"Da Da Da!" Soon, the heavy machine guns of the US military began to fire, and the dense rain of bullets seemed to form a network of fire, trying to envelop the fighters of the Chinese Air Force inside. However, the fighters in the sky are like nimble birds, passing through the fire net lightly. And an attack was launched on the anti-aircraft machine guns of the American army.

The bombing by the Chinese Air Force lasted less than half an hour before it ended, but it caused huge casualties to the US military. The roads and on both sides of the roads were littered with corpses, many mutilated. There are even some bombed-out truck wreckage still burning on the road.

After the end of the air raids by the Chinese Air Force, the American soldiers, under the orders of the officers, began to clear the obstacles on the road and the bodies of their fallen comrades, and then began to continue their retreat north. Everyone knew that the Chinese air force was only attacking to slow them down. As long as they can escape, before the main Chinese army catches up, they are safe.

On the battlefield of Cuautra, the battle continues. On the morning of April 27, North Korean mercenaries were still responsible for the attack. With the support of the artillery of the squadron, the North Korean mercenaries finally captured the first line of defense of the American army on the periphery of Cuautra after paying tens of thousands of casualties. It's just that in front of them, there are two carefully constructed lines of defense by the US military.

Just as the commander of the Korean mercenaries, General Kim Soon-hwa, was preparing to launch an attack on the second line of defense of the American army on the outskirts of Kuautra, the commander of the squadron, Marshal Cho Bowen, stopped him.

"General Kim, the North Korean mercenaries only need to hold the front line of defense. From the afternoon, the attack will have us carried out. This time, we will break through the American defense line in one go and enter the city of Cuautra. When the time comes, the North Korean mercenaries must be ready to fight in the streets! Marshal Zhao Bowen said. Now that the U.S. forces have begun to retreat, the attack on Cuautra cannot just be a show, but must quickly break through the U.S. defense line and drag the main force of the U.S. army.

"Yes, Marshal!" Admiral Kim Soon-hwa commanded. However, he didn't believe Marshal Zhao Bowen's statement that he would enter the city of Cuautra this afternoon. In order to seize the first line of defense of the US army, the North Korean mercenaries paid the price of nearly 30,000 casualties in these two and a half days of fighting. The squadron had to break through the two lines of defense of the US army in one afternoon, and also enter the city of Cuautra, which in the eyes of Admiral Kim Soon-hwa was completely bragging. It's just that he didn't dare to have the slightest expression.

"General Oshima, your Japanese mercenaries have already rested, right?" Marshal Zhao Bowen asked. The Japanese mercenaries fought and were not afraid of death, and in order to break through the defense line of the US army in the shortest possible time and annihilate these US troops, the Japanese mercenaries were an indispensable combat force.

"Marshal, please rest assured, the Japanese mercenaries have completed their rest and are ready to go into battle at any time!" General Yoshimasa Oshima puffed up his chest and replied loudly. In the past two days, the appearance of the North Korean mercenaries made him scoff. He stubbornly believed that if it was their Japanese mercenaries, they would have already entered the city of Cuautra!

"So be it! At half past one in the afternoon, the general offensive of the American troops on Cuautra officially began! This time, there will be the main attack of the 8th Group Army of the Chinese Army! Marshal Zhao Bowen said. The armored brigade of the 8th Army stayed, did not participate in the detour, in the battle of Mexico City, in order to be able to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of American troops in Cuautra with the fastest speed and minimum casualties, and then quickly attack Mexico City, trying to drag the American army in Cuernavaca, so that they do not have a chance to escape!
