John Pershing really did not expect that the Blue Sea Battleship Battle Group and Ling Hai Ship Battle Group each carried four star-class landing ships and a large number of soldiers from the amphibious combat army, but Lin Yuan did not launch an amphibious operation, but let The two aircraft carriers acted as mobile turrets, attacking the US military's logistics supply stations.

John Pershing's cold sweat dripped down. He already understood Lin Yuan's strategy, that is to let two aircraft carriers attack the US airport, oil depot, and supply station. After greatly weakening the US air power, The counterattack by the Chinese coalition forces is simply extremely fierce.

At this time, the air force officers in the room also understood Lin Yuan's strategy, and everyone's face was heavy and panicked.

After all, John Pershing is the supreme commander of the U.S. Army. His panic only lasted for a short while before he regained his composure. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, everyone. Even if we don't have air power, we are still on land." We have a lot of advantages, our biggest advantage is our superiority in military strength, it is not so easy for the Chinese coalition forces to eat us."

John Pershing's words made everyone calm down. He looked at the adjutant and asked, "Our airport was attacked. What's the attitude of the Air Force?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency Commander, the Air Force believes that the Air Force's fighter jets cannot fight against Chinese fighter jets, and it is difficult to provide protection for the Army, so they plan to withdraw from Mexico."

John Pershing thought for a while and said: "Since China has sent fighter planes to support the operation, it is useless for the air force to stay in Mexico. The number of aircraft that China can invest in Mexico is still relatively small, and we don't really need the protection of the air force." , let the air force retreat."

The adjutant agreed, turned around and ran out, and delivered the order. John Pershing turned to the bomber officer and said, "Now that the airport has been bombed, the Florida bombers can no longer take off. It is meaningless for you to stay in Mexico. You should withdraw to the country as soon as possible. "

The officers agreed one after another and left the meeting room.John Pershing then convened a meeting of the Army Staff Department. At the meeting, John Pershing decisively stated: "Our US troops stationed in Mexico should immediately switch from offensive to defensive."

"Currently, the Chinese coalition forces are compressed in Veracruz province, and our army has surrounded it with heavy troops. Now that our army has lost the protection of air power, we must change our style of play. I decided to withdraw the troops from the encirclement and retreat. Along the line to Mexico City, establish a defensive position against a series of mountains in the southern plateau of Mexico."

The terrain of Mexico is like this, high in the middle, low around, the Mexican plateau in the middle, and plains around, of which the Mexican plateau accounts for about four-fifths of the entire Mexican land.

The short-term goal of the Chinese coalition forces is to conquer the entire territory of Mexico, and the long-term goal is to invade the continental United States. If they conquer the entire territory of Mexico, they will have to move northward to conquer Madero's lair - Coahuila.

In this process, the front line of Mexico City is the most important barrier.If the U.S. forces hold the front line of Mexico City, the Chinese coalition forces cannot go north. If the Chinese coalition forces break through the front line of Mexico City, the armored forces of the Chinese coalition forces can drive straight into the plains of eastern Mexico and attack Coahuila.

The front line of Mexico City is so important, so Song Pan, the commander of the Second Amphibious Division, tried his best to defend Mexico City. It was not until the US military used air power that Song Pan had to abandon Mexico City.

John Pershing said this, with a gratified smile on his face, and continued: "The Chinese coalition forces are insufficient, and they will definitely not be able to break through our defense line. If Lin Yuan transports a large amount of troops from the country, it will greatly consume national power."

John Pershing's words made everyone nod their heads, and the U.S. troops began to withdraw from the encirclement and stationed on the front line of Mexico City. As for the Chinese coalition forces, Xiao Yingwu quickly received the information. After receiving the information, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

Xiao Yingwu originally planned to use the support of the air force to conduct a large-scale roundabout and outflank the enemy's U.S. forces, thereby annihilating them and destroying the vital forces of the U.S. troops in Mexico in one fell swoop, but he never expected that the U.S. troops would retreat like a coward. , and retreated to the front line of Mexico City for defense, which made it difficult for the Chinese coalition forces.

At the beginning of the war, the U.S. military had prepared two hands, one was ready to attack and the other was ready to defend. Therefore, the defense on the front line of Mexico City was extremely tight. If Xiao Yingwu wanted to conquer the U.S. defense line, he had to prepare a large number of troops. At this time, the Chinese coalition forces, together There are only 30 people, but to break through the US defense line, at least 50 people are needed, that is to say, an additional 20 troops must be added.

What's more difficult is that the French support army has no fighting spirit. Lin Yuan has ordered all the French support troops to be transferred back to France. In this way, the shortage of troops will become 35 people, although 35 people were transferred from China It is not difficult, but 35 people need a lot of equipment and a lot of food, and the distance from China to the United States is extremely long, and supplies are very difficult.

Xiao Yingwu had no choice but to contact Lin Yuan: "Captain, now the situation in Mexico has undergone a new change. After the US military suffered an air attack, it immediately stopped encircling our army, retreated, and entered Mexico City to hold its ground. They want to conquer Mexico. The city defense line will definitely need a large number of troops, if you withdraw all the French support troops, we will need 35 people."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's too much to mobilize 35 troops from China. You should discuss with the special head of the Mexican Autonomous Region to send these troops from the Mexican Autonomous Region."

Xiao Yingwu was taken aback, and said, "Can the Mexican Autonomous Region dispatch 35 troops?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It should be possible. You can go to their special leaders to discuss it. I still have important matters here, so I won't talk to you for now."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned off the communicator. Xiao Yingwu was skeptical. He discussed with the officials of the Mexican Autonomous Region and went to see the special head of the Mexican Autonomous Region. Speaking of this special head, he must write a special book. His original name was "Cruz? Lin", and later gave himself a mighty and domineering Chinese name - Lin batian.
