Chapter 1579 No Withdrawal

After Special Envoy Herbert offered mediation terms, Suzano did not immediately agree. He silently returned to the residence arranged for him by the legion, stared at him, and stayed up all night.

From time to time there was the sound of wheels rolling outside the window, snow-white lights came in through the window, and the beam of light moved in the dark room. Suzano was lying in the simple house, unable to fall asleep.

From Merida to Mexico City, the land distance is more than a thousand kilometers, but there is nothing on this road that can resist the progress of the Aurora Legion. The only thing limiting its advancing speed is the ground transportation vehicles and troops that the Legion currently seriously lacks.

But the Legion is not incapable of attacking Mexico City. Not to mention the terrible long-range ballistic missiles, just a large number of propeller fighters is enough for the Diego regime in the city to drink a pot. Even a Yun-5 with a rocket pod on it is enough to overwhelm the resistance forces in the city with numbers.

But Suzano was extremely unwilling to withdraw from Mexico City so easily. You must know that Mexico is a country with extremely severe polarization between rich and poor. Mexico City concentrates most of the country's resources and population. If this city is lost, life in the future will be difficult.

Although there are many cities in northern Mexico, and even a few industrial cities with good conditions, they are generally not as good. The most important thing is that this kind of mass evacuation in the last days will not be able to gather people's hearts.

In terms of organizational difficulty, retreating is more difficult than attacking, and it is more of a test of human nature.

Suzano walked out of the room with red eyes the next day without any decision. He decided to look at the situation again. And as soon as he went out, he saw Herbert with the same bloodshot eyes. The two looked at each other, obviously seeing that the other hadn't slept well.

"What are we doing today?"

"Continue to look at this city, anyway, Victor Hugo allows us to watch as we please."

The two troubled brothers went out again, and they wanted to see the barracks again. After all, the enemy's military power was the greatest pressure on their hearts.

Go out to the suburbs, but this time the route is different. When I asked, I learned that I visited another military camp today. A new batch of weapons has just arrived, so take a good look.

Another new weapon?

Suzano felt that he had already been frightened by the Type 59 tanks with a total of more than 700 tanks yesterday, so he couldn't be surprised this time anyway. He also became numb to the new weapon, and just said to the legion personnel in charge of guiding: "Okay, it's good to go and have a look."

The barracks were changed, and it was also a large tent that covered the sky and the sun, and there were a lot of tanks under the tent. Suzano suddenly became bitter,

He asked back: "Did you move the five hundred Type 59 tanks to a different place, and told me that this is a new batch, so as to scare me?"

"Sir, this is not a Type 59 tank, this is really a new batch." The accompanying army personnel were very patient.

"Nonsense, isn't this a round head with five pairs of road wheels? I've already counted the wheels." Suzano walked into the tent where the tanks were parked, pointing at one tank after another and was about to curse. It was only when he got closer that he realized that the tank was indeed a little different from what he saw yesterday.

"Sir, your habit of counting wheels is sick. You got electricity." The army personnel introduced: "This is a Type 62 light tank, which is lighter than Type 59. Its firepower and defense are much worse, but it is light, flexible, and fast. Fast, suitable for deployment in areas with water networks and complex terrain."

This..., why is there another tank here?

Looking at the scale of the tanks under the tent, there are probably hundreds of them. Herbert couldn't help asking questioningly: "Do you have so much fuel to drive so many tanks?"

"We have already occupied the city of Campeche, where the oil refinery and offshore oil fields are well preserved, and the legion is producing at full capacity. Although the initial output is limited, it will be raised soon." Said proudly.

Campeche? Campeche was still lost in the hands of Suzano.

It sounded depressed, but Suzano and Herbert once again climbed into one tank after another to investigate inside. The result was as shocking as yesterday. These tanks were equally old, but they were also well maintained, as if they had just been refurbished, and they were ready to go out to fight at any time.

Although the Type 62 is not as powerful as the Type 59, it has the characteristics of fast maneuverability and good adaptability to road conditions, but it can find a lot of use in Mexico. Low-intensity combat does not require too strong firepower and armor, but it often requires high speed and passability.

Where the fifth and ninth styles cannot go, the sixth and second styles can go, which will greatly reduce the room for the opponents of the Aurora Legion to move. Suzano and Herbert felt heavy again about this, and they spent another difficult night after they returned.

But when they walked out of the room again on the third day, the moment they looked at each other, they both understood that the other party still hadn't made up their minds and was always hesitating.

"Today we are still showing the armed forces of the Legion to you two." The accompanying staff of the Legion looked at the ugly faces of the two, but they were even more proud.

"Still looking at the tanks?" Suzano said in his heart: Where did you get so many tanks?

"No, let's look at the infantry's equipment today." The escort said.

What's so good about infantry?

Suzano and Herbert looked at each other, but they could only bite the bullet and follow along. The two of them didn't need to go to the outskirts of the city this time, and directly visited a military camp in the city. I saw people from the brigade were queuing up to receive equipment.

There were crowds of people's heads one by one, and the scene was filled with the clanging sounds of various guns and equipment colliding. According to the commentary, these people are guerrillas waiting for formal training. At the beginning, there were 30,000 people, organized into four light infantry divisions.

This kind of light infantry is really light, and basically does not have any heavy weapons. The heaviest equipment is the Dongfeng truck for transportation, and the strongest firepower is the division's 120mm mortar.

Suzano followed the moving crowd to the scene where the weapons were collected, and saw wooden weapons packing boxes were dismantled with a crowbar on the spot, and the buttered firearms were taken out from them.

An infantry squad of twelve people, the squad leader and deputy squad leader use Type 56 submachine guns, a machine gun group using Type 56 light machine guns, a bazooka shooter group using '40 Fire', and the rest of the personnel are simple rifles with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. rifleman.

The whole class took four more Type 67 grenades, and that was all the weapons and equipment.

Helmet, water bottle, engineer shovel, magazine with magazine bag, grenade with grenade bag, sundries bag plus a belt, a pair of rubber-soled shoes, all kinds of things. The military uniforms they received even had the collar flowers of the August 1st Army emblem, and someone on the spot was responsible for removing these collar flowers one by one.

The platoon is equipped with a clumsy and heavy Type 67 heavy machine gun, the company is equipped with a 60th mortar squad, and the battalion is equipped with 82 mortars. In short, this firepower is really the work of pure infantry.

But the problem is that these are four divisions again. These are light divisions transformed from guerrillas. Needless to say, they are all specially used for security strengthening battles. This is to drive the enemy out of the city and force them to death.

For this situation, Suzano almost beat his chest. That night, he suffered from insomnia again. When he closed his eyes, he could see overwhelming enemy soldiers rushing towards him.

According to the Aurora Legion, this is only a preliminary training plan. In the long run, they will train twenty such light infantry divisions for the Mexican Liberation Army to meet their needs for controlling the whole of Mexico.

Nightmare until dawn, the listless Suzano sees Herbert again. The latter advised him: "Give up, the strength of the Aurora Legion is too strong. If you don't give up now, you will soon be overwhelmed by the enemy's huge armed forces."

"I'm not reconciled!" Suzano was trembling with hatred, "I've been fighting all my life, so I have to escape from Mexico City to fight guerrillas in the northern mountains? No, I don't believe that Victor Hugo has So much food to feed such a huge army!"

At this time, the accompanying personnel of the Legion came to take the two of them to visit again. Suzano asked with red eyes: "What weapons or armed are you looking at today?"

The escort shook his head, "No, we're going to the port today to look at the ship. Several freighters from Cuba have arrived, and they've brought 200,000 tons of grain. Our military expansion plan will proceed smoothly."

Ah... Suzano only felt a pricking pain in his chest—it's over, he can't do without withdrawing now.
