At two o'clock in the morning on November 180th, the 180th Division was suddenly ambushed in the town of Dalhet, 30.00 kilometers east of Mexico City. The three regiments under the [-]th Division were severely damaged, with a battle loss rate of [-]% %.

When the news was reported to Jenkins' headquarters, Jenkins was taken aback and said angrily, "Our 180th Division has encountered an ambush. This is impossible. The intelligence clearly shows that the Second Chinese Amphibious Division has not deployed any ambush troops. Come here, and give me the Minister of Intelligence. call."

The Minister of Intelligence came to Jenkins with trepidation. Jenkins scolded the Minister of Intelligence as a "stupid" and "trash". There was a mistake, the Second Amphibious Division did not divide up its troops and set up an ambush."

"Then how did my troops encounter the enemy's ambush?"

"This...we don't know about this, let's investigate again."

"Then hurry up!" Jenkins scolded the Minister of Intelligence and left, full of doubts. He really couldn't figure out who ambushed them.

What Jenkins didn't know was that the ambush was completely planned by Song Pan.

When analyzing the situation, Song Pan believed that the Second Amphibious Division was in a disadvantageous situation in this battle because the number of people was too small, so Song Pan decided to use clever tricks to deal with the 180th Division and the Mexican army.

Song Pan ordered the troops to retreat to the east of Mexico City, attracting the pursuit of the 180th Division. Inflicted heavy damage on the 180th Division.

The Mexican Autonomous Army is the reinforcement sent by Lin Yuan to Song Pan. This army is the garrison of Veracruz Province. Most of its personnel are composed of Veracruz people. The combat effectiveness is not weak. Now Veracruz has become a In the Chinese Autonomous Region, the soldiers of the army felt that they had received benefits and fought more bravely.

Because the 180th Division underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, proud and complacent, it was hit head-on by the Mexican Autonomous Army and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the ambush was successful, Song Pan immediately ordered the Second Amphibious Division to return to attack the 180th Division, and the two sides started a fierce battle near the small town of Dalhet.

Neither side had heavy weapons, so the battle turned into a competition of individual military qualities. The Second Amphibious Division could be said to be the elite of the elite, and its combat effectiveness was much higher than that of the 180th Division, so it took advantage of the battle.

For the 180th Division, there is an even more unfavorable point, that is, they have just encountered an ambush, the morale of the army is shaken, and the morale is low, so they retreat quickly.

The 180th Division fled back to Mexico City in embarrassment, losing about half of its troops. Jenkins felt that his face was dull, and immediately called the commander of the US Army, hoping that the US Army would send more troops into Mexico to join the war.

The failure of the 180th Division attracted the attention of the U.S. government and the opposition. After all, this was the first battle of the Mexican War, and the first battle was lost, which was unfavorable in all aspects.

William McKinley discussed countermeasures with military generals. Mexican President Madero and former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi also attended the meeting. At the meeting, the army generals asked William McKinley to send more troops into Mexico. William McKinley Although McKinley was worried that the situation would escalate and lead to a full-scale war between China and the United States, but thinking that Mexico could not afford to lose, he agreed.

When the meeting came to an end, Ito Hirobumi suddenly raised his hand, indicating to speak, and William McKinley nodded in agreement with Ito Hirobumi's speech.

Ito Hirobumi stood up, nodded to the army generals, and then said: "Generals, I think it is time to tear up the no-fly zone agreement."

William McKinley frowned when he heard Ito Hirobumi's words, and thought to himself, it's not good that Ito Hirobumi brought up this topic again.

Many army generals were also shocked by Ito Hirobumi's words. They whispered to each other. Ito Hirobumi coughed heavily and drew everyone's attention to himself. Then he said: "Generals, if we tear up the no-fly zone agreement, we will surely The Chinese army is lethal, and by that time, the battlefield on the ground will be much easier."

"No, this is absolutely impossible." John Pershing, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army, stood up and categorically denied Hirobumi Ito's words, "Mr. Hirobumi Ito, the strength of the Chinese Air Force far exceeds ours. If we tear up the no-fly zone agreement, We will face the powerful Chinese Air Force."

"General Pershing is too worried. The nearest base in China is [-] kilometers away from Mexico. With such a long distance, it will be very difficult to dispatch planes."

"Okay, stop talking." William McKinley stood up and interrupted Hirobumi Ito, "We must not tear up the no-fly zone agreement. On the one hand, this will make the United States of America lose trust. Under the powerful firepower of the Chinese Air Force, the meeting will stop here, let's adjourn the meeting."

Hirobumi Ito left the conference room calmly, and Madero quietly approached William McKinley and whispered, "I always feel that Hirobumi Ito has other thoughts, I wonder if you can see it?"

William McKinley sneered, and said: "Ito Hirobumi wants to make us fight against China, how can I not know, Mr. Madero, don't worry, I will not let Ito Hirobumi do anything out of the ordinary. "

Madero originally thought that he was the only one who could see Ito Hirobumi's thoughts, but William McKinley had already seen it, smiled a few times, and left. William McKinley waved to one of his subordinates and whispered: "Strictly monitor Ito Hirobumi's every move, I am worried that he will find a way to privately dispatch the air force to attack the Chinese army."

"Is this possible? Ito Hirobumi is Japanese, how could he command our air force."

"We have a brigade of Japanese pilots in the U.S. Air Force. The people in that unit don't listen to us Americans very much, but they listen to the Japanese. I'm worried that Ito Hirobumi will let them attack."

"Okay, I'm going to closely monitor Ito Hirobumi. If there is any change in Ito Hirobumi, what should we do? Should Ito Hirobumi be arrested on the spot?"

"Confused." William McGinn laughed loudly, "If Ito Hirobumi has a change, not only don't arrest him, but also secretly help him to make his change successful."
