Admiral Davis looked gloomily at the Mexicans crowded on the road, and he had the impression that these Mexicans were timid, cowardly, poor, lazy, and useless. Although the Mexican government has formed hundreds of thousands of government troops, these Mexican government troops have not only not become a boost to the US military on the battlefield, but have become a burden. The U.S. military tried to get these Mexican government troops into battle, but as a result, a division of Mexican government troops could not withstand the attack of a battalion of squadrons, and when they were defeated, they also attacked the positions of the U.S. troops, causing a lot of damage to the U.S. troops. Since then, the U.S. military has never counted on these Mexican government forces to go to war, at most to protect logistical supply lines. I have to say that the Mexican government army is very good at dealing with civilians, and it has no mercy when it comes to its own people, and some Mexicans who want to fight the idea of logistical supplies for the US military have been slaughtered by the government army.
Now, Mexican government forces are joining in the rout, and on the congested roads, these Mexican government forces huddle together and grab the road to the north. Although these Mexican government soldiers are not good at fighting, they are much more powerful than ordinary civilians in rushing for roads. The roads are now congested, and a large part of the reason is that these Mexican soldiers did not follow the rules and tried to flee Mexico City as much as possible.
"Come on, order the 21st Army to clear the road, except for the American soldiers, no one else is allowed to pass through guò!" Admiral Davis finally relentlessly, if this congestion continues, the pace of the withdrawal of American troops will be dragged here. In case the Chinese catch up. Then they will not be able to fly. Therefore, he had to speed up his pace, and the best way to clear the Mexicans and Mexican government forces blocking the road was to clear them!
"Yes, General!" A major general of the U.S. Army immediately took the order.
Soon, the order was given. An army of U.S. soldiers began to drive Mexicans and Mexican government forces off the road, clearing the road so that the U.S. troops could quickly withdraw.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Otherwise, shoot on the spot! "The officers and men of the U.S. military brutally drove all the Mexicans and Mexican government forces under the road. Vacate the highway so that U.S. troops can quickly withdraw. In order for their own people to flee quickly, the U.S. military no longer intends to care about the lives of these Mexicans.
"Why? This is Mexico, not the United States? This is the highway of Mexico, why drive us? "Mexicans and Mexican soldiers who were driven under the road. Asked loudly. This is Mexican territory, and these roads were built by the Mexican government. But now they, the Mexicans, have been savagely driven off the road, which makes the Mexicans very angry. However, in the face of the black muzzle in the hands of the American soldiers, they were powerless to resist.
These arrogant American soldiers. The accusations of these Mexicans will not be heeded at all. In the face of the insults, the Mexicans responded to the clatter of the bolt of the gun. The U.S. soldiers had been ordered to shoot the Mexicans on the spot if they dared to resist.
"Damn. What the hell are these Yankees going to do? Do they want to leave us all to the Chinese? Secretary, you go and negotiate with the Americans at once, and let us go first! The retreat of Mexican President Madero was also driven to the grass next to the road, where thousands of presidential guards were protecting the convoy of dozens of wagons.
"Yes. Your Excellency, President! Although the secretary felt a little embarrassed, he did not dare to refuse President Madero's order. I had to bite the bullet and negotiate with the Americans. However, the result of the negotiation was very unsatisfactory.
Although the secretary identified himself and told the Americans, the Mexican president's motorcade was to leave first. However, it was still rejected. These Americans don't care if the Mexican president is not the president, in their eyes, all Mexicans are the same. Now that the U.S. military wants to use this road to evacuate, then everyone else has to get out of the way, whether it is the president of Mexico or civilians!
At this moment, a crisp rifle sounded. During the confrontation with the U.S. military, the Mexican soldiers acted aggressively, and the behavior did not cause casualties to the U.S. troops, but the Americans believed that their lives were threatened, so they opened fire. The gunshots seemed to give some kind of signal to the two sides of the confrontation.
"Bang bang! Da-da-da-da! The sound of rifle fire and machine gun fire mingled, and the Mexican government forces and U.S. soldiers on the confrontation, although they were not given the order to shoot, spontaneously fired bullets at the people on the other side. And so a scuffle broke out.
"Damn! Order the soldiers of the government army, stop shooting! President Madero ordered with a grim face. The Mexican government has betrayed China, and now it can only rely on the United States, and if it offends the United States, when China occupies Mexico, they will not even have a place to go into exile. It's just that both the U.S. and Mexican government soldiers have already fired fire, and no one will heed President Madero's orders in the chaos of the battlefield. These soldiers of the Mexican government army showed more combat strength and courage at this moment than when they fought against the squadron.
"Damn, what the hell are these Mexicans trying to do? How dare they fire at us? Send two more armies to suppress these Mexicans, and kill all those who dare to resist! Admiral Davis, who was in charge of this retreat, was furious. Millions of people want to evacuate Mexico City, but they still have to evacuate before the squadron arrives, the time is already very tight, and now these Mexicans still dare to make trouble, which makes Admiral Davis very angry! If it weren't for the fact that it would take a lot of time to slaughter these Mexicans, he would have ordered them all to be slaughtered!
Although the resistance of the Mexican government forces was fierce, it was quickly surrendered under the suppression of the superior forces of the American army. Most of the Mexican government soldiers only attacked the U.S. military when they suddenly became hot-headed. By the time they calmed down, they were already terrified, and under such circumstances, it was simply impossible to continue fighting the American army.
Moreover, in the process of suppressing the Mexican government army, the US military also used mortars and mountain artillery and other weapons. In the process, a large number of Mexican civilian casualties were inevitably caused, and the fields on both sides of the highway were littered with Mexican corpses. However, the U.S. military seems to be turning a blind eye to this.
U.S. forces crushed the resistance of Mexican government forces and seized their weapons. Under the strong orders of the U.S. military, the Mexicans and Mexican government forces could only march north in the fields on both sides of the road, which was not a little worse than the smooth road! And the speed of the withdrawal of US troops has also been guaranteed. However, it is still not an easy task to evacuate millions of American troops, or even more American troops in the future, from Mexico City to northern Mexico in a short period of time. What's more, now the squadron has already set off from Verhochingo and is rushing to Mexico City. From Verhochengo to Mexico City, it is only a hundred kilometers. The squadron was able to raid 80 kilometers in one day, and if it attacked Puebla, it was very likely that it would have reached Mexico City in one day. For this reason, Admiral Davis had to increase the speed of withdrawal as much as possible, and even had to give up some war materiel for this reason. Anyway, with the strong industrial strength of the United States, even if some war materials are lost, they will be able to replenish them quickly.
The large-scale retreat of American troops from Mexico City and the large-scale chaos that broke out in Mexico City naturally made it impossible to hide from the eyes of the squadron. Although, after the squadron was driven to Acapulco, there were not many Chinese in the hinterland of Mexico, China was still able to obtain a lot of intelligence sources. After several years of garrisoning troops in Mexico, China has cultivated a group of henchmen in Mexico. It's just that because the squadron did not go well in the early days, these Mexicans who defected to China turned into the shadows.
This morning, after discovering that U.S. troops were beginning to withdraw from Mexico City, and that a large number of senior Mexican government officials and ordinary people had begun to flee, the news was quickly sent to agents of China's military intelligence agency. Agents of the Military Intelligence Agency then sent the information back home, and from there it was forwarded to the General Staff. Finally, the General Staff then passed the information on to the Mexican front-line commander, Marshal Zhao Bowen. Although it may seem like a lot of work, it doesn't take much time. At half past nine in the morning, Marshal Zhao Bowen received a report of the retreat of American troops from Mexico City.
For this reason, Marshal Zhao Bowen immediately made adjustments to the plan. First of all, Marshal Zhao Bowen gave orders to General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Army, which was heading for Mexico City, and General Xie Dingkun, commander of the 2nd Army, and told them to speed up and be sure to rush to Mexico City before this evening to cut off the rear route of the US troops. Although, rushing at full speed will cause the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces to be destroyed due to malfunctions. But I can't care so much about it at the moment. If the U.S. military slips away, the plan will fall short. In addition, Marshal Zhao Bowen also sent fighter planes to bomb the retreating US troops, hoping to slow down the retreat of the US troops and create opportunities for the pursuing troops as much as possible!
