Working as a police officer in Mexico.

Chapter 594: Completely annihilate the 1st Cavalry Division!
On June 6th, the weather was very hot and humid.

The crows standing on the branches were also calling around frantically, looking around with their scarlet eyes.

boom-

With a slight sound, the crow, which was already nervous and uneasy, let out a strange cry and flew away with a flap of its wings.

And in the square below.

Six military inspectors from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division all fell in a pool of blood.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! James, we are alumni." The major dressed in LGBT style fell to the ground. "She" was shot in the thigh, shouting in fear and waving her hands vigorously.

He regretted it...

James Gavin invited all the military inspectors in the 82nd Airborne Division to "dine" and turkeys were airlifted from the back. At that time, he thought the other party was apologizing to him, so he came with his subordinates in a haughty manner.

As soon as I came in...

The three people who were walking were beaten to pieces, and he was walking at the back, so he just managed to escape.

Hey…

You are still too young. This is the consequence of not learning history.

Anyone who has a "military advisor" under your command knows what the Hongmen Banquet is. Can you just eat this meal casually?

James Gavin looked at him with disgust and pulled the trigger decisively. Bang, bang, bang—

The shooting skill is good, all the hits are on the forehead!

The military inspector sent by the Pentagon...lies in the headquarters!

"Drag it away, drag it away." The adjutant shouted twice, and several officers in the room dragged the body away, but before leaving, they looked at James Gavin with hope in their eyes. They knew what the division commander was going to do, and of course they were happy.

Enough of these bastards!
Military inspectors are different from Soviet ZWs. During World War II, basically people of this type were executed if they were caught by Germany. In 1941, the German army swept across the Eastern Front and the Soviet army was defeated. The father's Order No. 227 required fighting to the death, but what was scary was the supervision team?

No! Absolutely not.

They are a group of war gods wearing blue hats. As soon as the charge is sounded, they will be the first to rush forward.

And the US military inspectors are bullshit!

It would be strange if this could convince people.

"Minister Nicolo, do you see our sincerity?" The adjutant looked at a man sitting on a chair next to him. The man was a little fat, with a protruding belly, and his eyes were a little small, narrowed into slits, but don't underestimate him.

This man is the Deputy Minister of the Interior of the Republic of Texas!

Uh... Although he is the fourth deputy minister, he is still a powerful position.

When they heard that a division here was willing to "restore order", President Paul Constantine Stuart almost jumped up and immediately gave the green light.

Hearing the adjutant's words, Deputy Minister Nicolo smiled and nodded, "We have never doubted your loyalty to the United States, Major General James, oh, no, Mr. Lieutenant General, from now on, you are the commander of the 82nd Texas Airborne Corps, expanding the troops on the original basis. This is the appointment letter from the Presidential Palace."

He didn't know where it came from, but he was holding a stamped appointment letter in his hand.

James Gavin's eyes lit up!
Lieutenant General!

His heart skipped a beat and he was very excited.

You know, it is difficult for him to be promoted in the current system of the US military. He is not the backbone of the "Golden Knights" and he has basically reached the end of his road. This is one of the reasons why he agreed to defect to Texas.

"Thank you, Mr. President... for me." He took it with both hands.

"Thank you, Minister Nicolo!" The adjutant's expression changed, and he leaned over, took out an anonymous bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into the other's pocket.

"Why are you being so polite? Hey, hey, hey..." Nicolo pretended to frown.

"Yes, yes. I'll have to trouble you again in the future." The adjutant smiled.

"Eud Wallace is your father, so you are a son of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's a bit strange to say that."

Is stepfather not dad anymore?
Is a stepfather not a father?
The words were polite, and the adjutant understood, so he just smiled and responded twice.

"The military has ordered you to rest in El Paso and contain the main forces stationed in southwestern New Mexico to make them afraid to act rashly. Don't worry about the military expenses. The Texas government is not short of money." Nicolo was willing to say a few more words after getting the money. He would remind him from time to time that he was going through the Ministry of the Interior and he had to know who the faction's backers were.

James Gavin was no fool. He nodded vigorously and said, "If you need anything, call me directly."

Nicolo nodded in satisfaction.

After the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army had gathered its equipment, it moved eastward into Texas, quickly cut off contact with the U.S. front-line headquarters, and announced through the media that afternoon, "Revolt!"

For a moment, it shook the world! It resounded in all directions!

In Ciudad Juarez.

A month-long fierce war left the city in ruins. At this time, the "City Square", a piece of open space that had been cleared with great difficulty, was filled with fluttering flags and a bustling military presence!
There were many colonels and generals standing in front.

After the 179th Army held out for four days, a steady stream of Eastern Theater troops came to support them. Fortunately, the "Warrior Bridge" was not bombed, otherwise... more time would have been wasted.

They looked at the Eastern Theater Commander Guderian on the stage with burning eyes. The latter waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!!"

When the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army "surrendered" to the Republic of Texas, the intelligence department actually had the information. Of course, Secretary of the Interior Yod Wallace was an insider. Whatever documents were placed on Paul Constantine Stuart's desk, that information would be on Victor's desk.

This was also the main reason why the 82nd Airborne Division did not send air force bombing when it was moving.

He left like this...

It is equivalent to a road exposed on the chest. Guderian, who is good at blitzkrieg and armored warfare, will certainly not give up this time point and wait for follow-up troops to arrive. Otherwise, there will be no chance of fighting, right?

As his orders were given.

More than 80 aircraft from the air forces in the eastern and northern theaters of war quickly took off, and 421 armored vehicles of various types of the First Guards Division of the Eastern Theater headed towards Las Cruces, New Mexico!
Two divisions of the 336th Army are blocking Mexico.

There is also the army commander, Major General Walter von Brauchitsch. Mexico has not lost a single general officer so far. If one were to be sacrificed, it would have a huge impact on morale.

So, as soon as the 82nd Airborne Division made way, the main force quickly attacked! !

But this put the two heavy brigades of the US 1st Cavalry Division in a difficult position. After occupying Las Cruces, US General Frederick Franks ordered them to set up a second line of defense here to block the escape route of the two Mexican divisions. Relying on heavy firepower and air support, the 1st Armored Brigade and the 2nd Armored Brigade withstood the attacks of the two divisions, while other New Mexico troops on the opposite side also attacked from both sides, and a big victory was about to come.

Oh haha…

The brother troops ran away first.

You are Sun Yuanliang!!!
Major General Hal Elliott, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, happened to be in charge here and reacted quickly, ordering the troops to evacuate quickly and letting the 336th and th divisions leave, otherwise they would have become hamburgers.

However, the Mexican 779th and 777th Divisions, which were originally "half-dead", seemed to have received orders and launched another attack, entangled the US 1st Cavalry Division that was trying to escape in the city, making the latter complain bitterly.

After more than 80 aircraft of various types of the air force arrived over Las Cruces, they dropped incendiary bombs and cluster bombs on the city below, causing the city to fall to the ground and people to wail everywhere!
This is not the worst.

A regiment of 32 M270 multiple rocket launchers rapidly approached 50 kilometers and entered combat mode on the spot. With a caliber of 227 mm and 12 tubes, it bombarded Las Cruces.

This tactic is really familiar to NMD.

During the Gulf War in 1991, the U.S. military relied on rocket launchers (M270) and air power to achieve long-range strikes, which caused the Iraqi army to suffer a lot. These two axes chopped down and the 1st Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses.

Even if you have a tank, it will be blown into scrap metal!

I don't know which idiot used the 1st Cavalry Division in this place. They have three heavy brigades and helicopters, which are suitable for group charges in wide areas, but they ended up letting them defend the city...

Isn't this asking Bai Qi to fight a guerrilla war?
By the time Harold Alexander arrived with the Guards Division, the two brigades of the 1st Cavalry Division were no longer able to make any progress and had to surrender. In the end, a deputy division commander was captured, two brigade commanders were killed, and the whereabouts of the division commander, Major General Hal Elliot, were unknown, but someone saw him wearing civilian clothes and sneaking into the safe zone.

This is what Sun Yuanliang did during the Battle of Nanjing. He found a brothel owner, recognized her as his godmother, and followed her to the safe zone...

No wonder the "hawkish general" called him "a disgrace to man!"

It's exactly the same effect.

The people around Harold Alexander wanted to surround the safe zone. "Commander, we can't let that son of a bitch get away. If we catch him, we can get a promotion on our shoulders."

That means they are our own people, and they speak so frankly.

If soldiers don’t fight for honor or promotion, where does their desire for victory come from?

But the commander of the Guards Division, Harold Alexander, thought about it and shook his head. "That's unnecessary. It will cause panic in the safe zone. There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people there. What should we do if there's a riot?"

"Send a message in. Anyone who captures Major General Hal Elliot will be rewarded 20 Mexican reales! If it's a soldier from the 1st Cavalry Division, pardon him and let him go. The reward will remain the same."

"Yes!"

The subordinates responded and led 300 people into the safe zone to maintain public order and pass on the reward news. This place is located on the west side of Las Cruces, close to a church. It is listed as a safe zone by Mexico, and residents are clearly notified to enter here to rest, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

Those who could run had already run away, and those who couldn't run... came here.

When they heard the reward news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Mexicans would not do anything rash and would only target one person.

Many white people in the small group sighed. They were all big and strong, and most of them belonged to extreme right-wing organizations. They looked at the Mexican soldiers with unfriendly eyes, and some of them were ready to make a move.

The major in charge noticed the lack of cooperation in the air, squinted his eyes, walked up to a group of more than a dozen white people, and looked them up and down.

"What can I do for you, sir?" the leading white man, who had a German "symbol" tattooed on his forehead, asked with narrowed eyes.

The major reached out and pulled down the man's short-sleeved shirt. Seeing the tattoo, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Extremist?"

"Do it!"

The white man in the lead's face changed and he let out a loud roar. As soon as he finished speaking, his head was smashed into pieces, and the soldiers behind him started shooting with machine guns!

More than a dozen white people were killed!
Screams were heard but quickly stopped. The ladies covered their mouths and trembled, shaking with fear. Some covered their children's eyes and hid back in fear.

"Don't worry, the Mexican army will not kill civilians, but we hope you will cooperate. When the war is over, you will all be free."

Major General Hal Elliot, who had hidden in the church with his guards, groaned inwardly when he heard the gunshots. He huddled in an empty house in the church, where everyone had been driven away. He just took out some dry food and took a bite when he realized that the atmosphere was wrong and the guards around him looked at him with strange eyes.

"Master, I'm sorry!!"

One of the black men shouted and rushed forward, and the guards around him also rushed forward and pinned him to the ground.

"What are you doing! You are betraying me! Betrayal!"

"Commander, our brothers don't want to die, we want to go home, so don't blame us."

Several people stuffed a sock into his mouth and then dragged him out. The noise naturally attracted attention. The black man saw a group of Mexican soldiers looking at him, swallowed his saliva, and quickly raised his hand. Well... it has been confirmed that the palms of black people are white.

"This is Hal Elliot!"

"Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division!"

The major in charge's eyes lit up and looked down at him, "Nice to meet you, General!"

Major General Hal Elliot also accepted his fate, lying on the ground without saying a word, and waved his hand, "Take him away!"

...

The "Battle of Las Cruces" was too sudden and too fast!

It wasn’t even 3 hours in total!

Many people even saw it on the Internet.

The Mexican Ministry of Defense sent a message that the US 1st Cavalry Division was defeated and Major General Hal Elliott, the division commander, was captured!

In an instant, the crowds of voices were boiling! The whole country was rippled!

After hearing the news, Victor cheered in the office, "Order the troops to continue northward, enter Albuquerque along Highway 10, and capture Frederick Franks alive!"

“Also, make a big fuss about it.”

Casare also laughed excitedly, "Got it, I'll have all the TV stations broadcast it on loop."

When some people are happy, naturally some people are sad.

In the Pentagon, Norman Schwarzkopf was having dinner when he heard that the 1st Cavalry Division had been defeated. He was like crazy, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this is fake!"

After saying that, he placed the plate in his hand on the table, and when he stood up, his body was shaky.

No wonder he was so excited.

That’s the 1st Cavalry Division, the ace unit. What does ace mean?

During the Pacific War, the 1st Cavalry Division first participated in combat in February 1944, taking part in the Battle of the Admirals Islands. In the landing operation on Los Negros Island, the division's task force of 2 men landed first, followed by the main force, and eventually cleared the island of Japanese troops.

In October 1944, the division participated in MacArthur's campaign to return to the Philippines. In the landing operation on Leyte Island, it crossed the chest-deep swamp and occupied Tacloban Airport and the capital Tacloban 10. In the subsequent battle on Leyte Island, the division annihilated more than 13 Japanese troops at the cost of 133 deaths and 490 injuries.

Later...

They were defeated by the 39th Division in the Korean War, which was their first defeat!

Since it was not completely wiped out by the Volunteer Army, is it still not considered an ace?

Over the past few decades, it has been used in many of the US military's local wars.

You said the major general was arrested?

The whole division collapsed?!
Simply…

MacArthur farted - Hirohito said it smelled good! (Telling lies with open eyes).

“Cough cough cough cough cough—”

Norman Schwarzkopf coughed violently, holding his chest with a painful look on his face.

"Doctor, call a doctor!"
