Working as a police officer in Mexico
Chapter 879 - 467: "Covering! Still damn covering!

At the foot of Tepeya Mountain, it was already midnight, but government offices were brightly lit.

This area had been designated a "military control" zone; even civilian aircraft were prohibited from flying overhead.

After all…

If someone dropped a bomb, the entire Mexican military and government would collapse.

The U.S. Military's decapitation operations were so formidable that precautions were necessary.

Since Reagan was assassinated, the Yankees had truly lost face globally.

An achievement was made: "Surpassing Walton Walker" to become the highest-ranked officer in U.S. battlefield fatalities…?

As everyone knows, the Yankees are like wearing their hearts on their sleeves—they're incredibly narrow-minded—and they would surely retaliate over something like this.

Within a week, there were three bomb attacks in the Tepeya Mountain area. Fortunately, all were discovered before causing any harm.

And the most nerve-racking incident…

The military mess hall had a bomb installed, blowing out one of the windows.

At the time…

According to rumor, the Director of the Mexico Counterintelligence General Bureau, Jeff Bennett, cursed out every female family member of George Smiley, one of the Thirteen Protectors.

There were even shouts of rage.

"If this happens again, go farm crops instead!"

The two intelligence heads exited with dark expressions and conducted a thorough investigation of everyone in the mess hall, including the drivers delivering food.

This directly elevated the security level of the Tepeya Mountain area to the same level as the National Palace.

But the culprits had long fled.

The Yankees could not be underestimated, as always.

Inside the meeting room of the Staff Department.

Admiral Horatio Herbert Kitchener was chewing on chocolate to regain energy. His eyes were heavy with exhaustion as he sat in the primary position on the left, yawning.

"The 442nd Infantry Regiment, with 4,000 men, has occupied the US-Mexico Border area of Igor today. This unit is largely composed of Japanese-Americans and has served the United States since World War II, exhibiting considerable combat power."

"At the time, we stationed an incomplete infantry regiment from the Fourth Army here. Under U.S. air-to-ground coordination, our defense line collapsed, forcing us to retreat to the right bank of Rio Bravo in Nuevo Laredo."

A staff officer, wearing a Lieutenant Colonel insignia, stood at the podium holding a pointer and gestured at the map on the slides behind him. "The 442nd Infantry Regiment is advancing toward the right bank, while the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division, with approximately 20,000 soldiers, is attacking from Texas. At the latest, within two days, they will launch a pincer attack on Nuevo Laredo."

"If this key city in the east falls, the U.S. Military will be able to penetrate Nuevo Leon State, capture Monterrey, and direct their forces toward Mexico City."

All the high-ranking officers attending the meeting looked visibly anxious.

"What about the sea? What's the situation in the Mexican Sea Domain?" Army Chief Erich Ludendorff asked hurriedly.

"U.S. warships have shelled our side's San Fernando City through the Jesús María Strait, causing approximately 70 casualties. They attempted to force an amphibious landing but were repelled by our coastal defense units with air support…"

Erich Ludendorff's expression eased slightly; if they launched another attack from the sea, saving Nuevo Leon State would be pointless. "In other words, our main enemy is the 3rd Infantry Division advancing from Texas."

"What's their configuration?"

The staff officer glanced at his superior and motioned for the slide operator to change the page.

"The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division comprises a total of 21,000 personnel equipped with combat brigades: including three combat battalions, one artillery brigade, 36 105mm howitzers, 12 155mm howitzers, approximately 120 armored vehicles and tanks, as well as a dedicated helicopter battalion…"

Ludendorff furrowed his brows…

"It doesn't seem like their firepower is particularly strong." Someone remarked, causing the attendees to glance at each other and nod in agreement.

The artillery regiment configuration of a single Mexican Marine Division includes a total of 168 artillery pieces: 62 M198 155mm howitzers, 32 M109 self-propelled howitzers, and 74 BM-13C rocket launchers (Katyusha)…

This artillery arrangement is truly unparalleled!

Currently, Mexico's first military doctrine is: "Cover! Continue the damn covering!"

Thus, when two divisions of the Fourth Army attacked San Diego, after two rounds of artillery salvos, the city was left in ruins—brimming with a sense of unrestrained ferocity.

And divisions of this kind, after the expansion of the forces, number 25!

"Eat them alive!"

Ludendorff flung his steel pen onto the table and looked toward Minister Kennedy at the head of the table. "We can absolutely fight—hit them hard. The Yankees will regret it for the rest of their lives."

"What about the troops? Rommel's Fourth Army is locked in a stalemate near Tijuana, Mexicali, Nogales, and Juarez and has absolutely no margin for additional deployment." Deputy Chief of Staff Edward Fritz Bloomburg asked gravely.

"Didn't the Second Army already move north from Guadalajara? Deploy three divisions to Nuevo Leon State. Combine them with parts of the Fifth Army stationed in Monterrey, and we'll have over 30,000 troops." Ludendorff was unmistakably a classic war hawk.

"We could let them advance further—let them take Nuevo Laredo, give them a little advantage. Once they continue southward, we'll circle around their rear and cut off their retreat."

This plan evidently met with dissatisfaction from several attendees, as Armored Army Commander Heinrich von Stravitz rapped the table:

"I disagree; if the U.S. Military captures Nuevo Laredo and establishes it as a supply station, they'll have an endless supply of reinforcements. Cutting off their retreat? We'd end up being steamrolled by their forces!"

"Aside from artillery superiority, our army lacks any edge in armored vehicles, tanks, and air dominance. I oppose this plan. I believe it's better to engage them near Nuevo Laredo, bombard their infantry with artillery fire. As long as their infantry can't make headway, everything else is meaningless."
