Chapter 1236 Encirclement of the 1st Cavalry Division

However, Major General George didn't know that he didn't even have the chance to make a drastic change.

There are four bridges in Laredo, including a railway bridge, and now these bridges are guarded by officers and soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Of course they knew the importance of these bridges. Although they were called a cavalry division, they were an absolutely heavily armored force. The gas turbines of those M1 tanks were oil-guzzling monsters, and they must have sufficient logistical supplies to ensure their combat effectiveness. At the same time, once the situation ahead changed, these bridges would be the only channel for their troops to retreat.

Battalion commander Major Bate was sitting in a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, smoking his cigarette. This mission was actually very boring.

Will the Mexicans attack the bridge here? The possibility is very small. This battalion of ours is a mechanized infantry battalion, and it is also armed with live ammunition, especially with a large number of portable individual anti-tank missiles. No matter how many T-54s or even T-72s come, we can handle it. Moreover, one of our divisions has already attacked! At this time, it is almost impossible for the Mexican army to cross the defense line of our cavalry division and rush over here.

All the officers and soldiers in the entire battalion had the same idea, so although they accepted the combat mission, they did not make too much preparation. They just set up checkpoints on the roads on both sides of the bridgehead and stood guard there with guns.

As the war began, ordinary people on the border had already fled! How could anyone be so blind as to cross the border?

It's so boring!

"Our bridges are all very strong. Even if an ordinary 155mm howitzer hits accurately, it will take more than a dozen shells to completely destroy the bridge." Beth said, "Even if it is a cruise missile, it can only destroy a section at most. It can be repaired quickly."

The Soviets' weapons will definitely come over. If it's a laser weapon in space, then no one can do anything. However, laser weapons are not suitable for attacking equipment like bridges. At most, they can cut it off, but they won't blow it up! It's also easy to reconnect!

As for other weapons coming, we are not afraid of them!

"If we want to completely blow up these bridges, there is only one way. That is to bury explosives under the bridges and on every pier. This way, we can completely destroy the bridges," said another soldier.

Hearing this, Bethe suddenly got up from the armored vehicle and asked, "What did you say?"

"It would be much more convenient if we buried explosives on the bridge piers," said the soldier.

"Quick, check the bridge piers immediately!" Bate said, "Damn, I hope these Mexicans won't be so cruel! These bridges were built with the money of American taxpayers!"

Moreover, if the Mexicans were really ambitious, they would definitely use these bridges as springboards to attack Texas!

Quick, check the bridge piers! The American soldiers who were just lazy now immediately jumped up from their positions and checked the bridge piers!

Damn it, what are you afraid of? It will come to you! Who would have thought that the Mexicans had already buried explosives here when they retreated!

Explosions continued to sound one after another! Bridge piers exploded one after another, and sections of the bridge deck were destroyed. The bridge was completely impassable!

"Quick, report to the division headquarters and request the engineering corps to come and build an emergency bridge!" Battalion Commander Beth shouted loudly. He was extremely anxious. These explosions caused him to lose more than a dozen people. At the same time, he had a premonition that there was a big trouble at the division headquarters!

"What? What did you say?" Major General George's ears were ringing from the explosion. Behind a bunker, he listened to his adjutant's words and could not believe it.

The bridge behind was blown up! The Mexicans buried explosives on it before retreating!

"Damn it!" Major General George's face turned pale. At this time, those arrogant armed helicopters had already flown away, leaving behind a horrible position. At the same time, smoke had begun to rise all around, and the Mexican tank troops had already arrived!

At this time, not only was it impossible to rescue the 2nd Brigade, but the entire Cavalry Division was also likely to be eaten! As long as the Mexicans attacked for a few hours, their tanks would run out of fuel and their retreat would be cut off. Would they have to surrender again and become prisoners? This would simply bring shame to the flag of the 1st Cavalry Division!

Forward, forward, we are the proud tank division, we are the strongest armed force in Argentina, and we will destroy the evil Americans!

The Argentine 3rd Armored Division rumbled forward. They had been waiting for a long time, and now, finally, their target had arrived! The American 1st Cavalry Division!

If it were in the past, Argentina would never take the initiative to provoke the United States. In fact, all previous Argentine governments were pro-American. However, the war in the Falkland Islands made Argentina's position completely turn to the Soviet Union. This was a wise choice. Now, the Soviet Union is already the strongest power on the planet!

The engine of the T-72 tank is rumbling, and the 125mm tank gun is preparing to fire its fierce attack!

At the same time, news that the 1st Cavalry Division was surrounded also reached the rear.

In the capital of Texas, when Governor Perry heard the news, he stood up from his seat instantly: "Now, we can no longer control the situation in the South with our own strength in Texas. We must ask the federal government for help and ask the troops from our neighboring states to come to our aid."
