When he returned to "home", Tan Renhao was now surrounded by lights in his study, and a figure was printed on the window. It's so late, only my father-in-law will continue to work in the study. Tan Renhao first went to the bathroom on the first floor to wash his face with cold water, and then went upstairs to the study.

"Dad!"

Liao Hanxiang, who was wearing old glasses and was reading a document, raised his head.

"It's so late and you haven't gone to bed yet?" Tan Renhao walked over and sat down on the chair next to the desk.

"There's still something to be done, you're here in the afternoon, right?" Liao Hanxiang took off his reading glasses and closed the documents on the desktop at the same time. "I'm going to Saipan in the afternoon, and I'll have dinner with Hao Dongjue and them in the evening, right?"

"Yes, I just finished eating and chatted for a while." Tan Renhao put his legs up, "Is the situation on the front line okay?" ”

"Yes, Han Shaofeng promised to lay down Kauai Island at the end of the month, so I arranged for him to send a batch of combat materials, and the three reinforced 6th divisions will arrive tomorrow." Liao Hanxiang walked over, patted Tan Renhao's shoulder, and sat down on the sand, "Gan Yongxing has already mentioned it to me, you did a good job." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"I mean Hongpeng." Liao Hanxiang asked his son-in-law to sit next to him, "I have always regretted giving birth to such a disobedient son, I can't listen to Lao Tzu's words, but I can listen to everything when others say it." If you hadn't convinced him this time, I'm afraid he would have really made some trouble. ”

Tan Renhao laughed, he thought that his father-in-law was talking about the attack on the Panama Canal. Before he went to the capital, Liao Hongpeng went to the submarine teaching unit to report, his new position is the deputy captain of the submarine teaching team, this is only a temporary position, probably less than half a year, he will be able to become the captain of the group, and officially promoted to major general. For a lot of people, it's a good job. Away from the battlefield, you don't have to think about the dangers, and you have a good future. But Liao Hongpeng has always felt that there is no point, if it wasn't for Tan Renhao talking to him, he is likely to refuse this appointment, and at that time, even if he will not be sent to the front line, he will basically lose the opportunity to show.

"One more thing. Gan Yongxing also talked to me in detail. Liao Hanxiang took out his cigarette, "Ren Hao, did you think carefully before you made a decision?" ”

Tan Renhao nodded, indicating that he had considered it.

"I don't understand, why did you take on such a mission?" Liao Hanxiang did not rush to light a cigarette, but looked at Tan Renhao with a little disbelief. "A discerning person knows at a glance that this is an impossible task, and you have made a promise in front of the photo, you should know. When you make a guarantee. There is no way back. ”

"I know, but ......"

"What you think, I know better than you." Liao Hanxiang stopped talking about Renhao's words. "To be honest, I do feel like it wasn't a decision you made. But there's no way to change it now, do you know how difficult the mission is this time? ”

"It's not a little difficult, so what's the point?" Talking about Renhao's words is a bit like comforting himself.

"That being said, that's not the reality." Liao Hanxiang sighed, "Okay, what can I help you with?" ”

"Dad, actually, ......" Tan Renhao's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of one thing. In fact, the problem of the fleet is not big, there is Hao Dongjue. I often recommend new cooperation, I heard that you also asked Lei Shaoqing to come over, and Lei Shaoqing is responsible for logistics support, basically there is nothing to worry about. The main problem now is the lack of a suitable 6-Sentai commander, the fleet cannot complete the task alone, the importance of the 6-Sentai is even above the fleet, if there is no suitable 6-Sentai commander......"

"You mean Han Shaofeng, right?" Liao Hanxiang laughed, "I knew you were fighting Han Shaofeng's idea." The chief of staff spoke to me on the phone in the morning and asked me if I could transfer Han Shaofeng out of the front line. I didn't answer directly. ”

"I also know that Han Shaofeng's current mission is very important, but he is the most ideal partner."

"What do you think?"

Tan Renhao immediately nodded, and analyzed the situation of his 6th team generals such as Han Shaofeng, Yuan Ye, Long Zhen, Fang Xiaoxian, etc., and finally came to the conclusion that Han Shaofeng was the most ideal candidate.

Liao Hanxiang pondered for a while. "It seems that I can't refuse your request this time."

Hearing this, Tan Renhao knew in his heart that his father-in-law had actually agreed to his request.

"Okay, I'll think of a way, anyway, after taking Kauai, the U.S. military won't be able to hold out for long on Oahu, the battle on the Hawaiian Islands won't last long, and the difficulty has been reduced a lot, maybe Long Zhen, or Fang Xiaoxian, can replace Han Shaofeng and take on the heavy responsibility."

"Then when will Han Shaofeng come back?"

Liao Hanxiang looked at his son-in-law. "You don't have to be in such a hurry if you want to dig into my corner, right?"

"Dad, you're not right. This campaign is also within the scope of the Pacific Theater, and Han Shaofeng is just going to perform another task, how can it be said that I am digging your corner? I'm all your subordinates. ”

"When did your lips become so slippery? Did Xiaoyu teach you? Liao Hanxiang smiled and grabbed his son-in-law's shoulder, "Tomorrow I will let Han Shaofeng come back, and Fang Xiaoxian will be responsible for the battle on Kauai Island, you should be satisfied now, right?" ”

Tan Renhao immediately thanked his father-in-law, and inadvertently, one of the biggest problems was solved.

The next day, Tan Renhao did not go to Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin, but seized the time to summarize several major tactical difficulties in the campaign operation, including the three problems they mentioned at dinner the night before, and several other difficulties. These problems need to be solved, and this is also the meeting gift that Tan Renhao is preparing to give to Han Shaofeng.

On the morning of July 20, Han Shaofeng's plane arrived at Anderson Airport, and Tan Renhao personally went to the airport to greet the fierce general of the 6th team. Now Han Shaofeng is still the lieutenant general of the 6th team, and in the personnel changes at the end of the year, he is likely to become the new number one general of the 6th team.

"Talking about the general, we are not outsiders, and we are so polite."

Tan Renhao handed over the document to Han Shaofeng. "This isn't a greeting gift, it's your new mission."

"New mission?" Han Shaofeng immediately came to his senses, "General Liao Hanxiang hasn't told me yet, just let me rush back as soon as possible, what is the task?" ”

"Very important task. Get in the car first, and when we get to the headquarters, we'll talk in detail. ”

The car quickly left the airport, and fifteen minutes later, the two sat on the sand in the office that Liao Hanxiang had temporarily arranged for Tan Renhao. Tan Renhao went to make a cup of tea for Han Shaofeng, and then spent about half an hour telling Han Shaofeng about the general situation of the attack on the Panama Canal.

"What started with you was some tactical puzzles." Tan Renhao motioned for Han Shaofeng to look at the document. "Other than that. The chief of staff promised to get as much accurate information as possible for us by the end of the month, but this was only a verbal guarantee, and we should not have too much hope for the intelligence department. Of course, there are many other problems that we have to solve one by one. ”

Han Shaofeng quickly finished reading the thorny questions listed by Tan Renhao, and then touched it on his body. Tan Renhao immediately went to get a cigarette and lit it for Han Shaofeng.

"It's really big problems, if nothing else, just the first three points. It's hard to solve. Han Shaofeng took a few puffs of his cigarette. He continued, "If we want to stop the U.S. military from blowing up the locks, then we have to do it before the official attack." Arrange for a 6-squad-team to go ashore, control the locks as quickly as possible, and hold out until the bulk of the force arrives. The size of this force cannot be very large, but it must be strong in combat. It is not difficult to find such a unit in the 6th team, or to temporarily transfer elite troops to form such a unit, the biggest problem is how to send half of the troops over. ”

Tan Renhao did not express his opinion, this aspect is Han Shaofeng's strength.

"The best way to stop the U.S. military from sinking ships in the river and blocking the river is to create a threat so that U.S. ships do not dare to enter the canal. This can only rely on the fleet, and in this way, we will not be able to let the 6 Sentai enter secretly, these two points are contradictory. Of course, there may be other solutions, such as trying to choose when the U.S. convoy is in Lake Gatun to attack. In addition, as long as the U.S. military did not deliberately block the river and other ships sank in the river, it would not be very difficult to salvage. Therefore, the attack must be sudden, swift, and control the situation on the river in the shortest possible time. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, he had also thought about this issue, and his thoughts were similar to Han Shaofeng's.

"The most difficult level of mines, the US military is very likely to have laid mines in advance, and they are mines that are remotely detonated, except for arranging minesweepers as much as possible, and the 6th team will control both sides of the river and quickly complete the sweeping operation, there is almost no other way to solve this problem. And we now have a limited number of minesweepers, their performance is not very good, and almost none of them are capable of accompanying the fleet for thousands of nautical miles. ”

"Maybe you can temporarily convert the Deng-6 boat into a minesweeper." Tan Renhao proposed a solution.

Han Shaofeng thought for a moment, then nodded. "It should work, but I need time to think it through."

"We have less than a month left." Tan Renhao raised a new problem, "Now that the First Task Force has left Naha Port, the Third Task Force is also rushing over, and the Second Task Force will arrive on the 26th at the latest, so we will be out on the 27th, before that, can we make preparations?" ”

"General, you're kidding, right?" Han Shaofeng threw away his cigarette butt, "Give me less than seven days, and now I don't even have a specific battle plan." ”

"The battle plan can be drawn up on the road, and the fleet will go to Midway Island first, and then come out, and there will be about a few days in between."

Han Shaofeng touched his forehead. "Can't you give me more time?"

Tan Renhao shook his head. "I also want to have more time, but there is no way, we have to get out as soon as possible."

Han Shaofeng gritted his teeth. "Okay, then I'll do my best, but I'll have to have high enough clearance."

"Within the scope of the war zone, you will be given whatever you want, if you can't figure it out, I'll talk to General Liao Hanxiang, and outside the war zone, I'll try my best to help you, anyway, with Chief of Staff Gan Yongxing to provide them with support, I'm afraid there is nothing that can't be done."

"Then I can move people around at will?"

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded. "Except for those major generals, you can directly transfer the others."

"I'll also arrange the 6th fleet?"

"Yes, Lei Shaoqing is responsible for the logistics support, and you are responsible for the affairs of the 6th fleet and the 6th team."

"There won't be a problem with supplies, right?"

"General Han, you also have to take care of these things?"

Han Shaofeng laughed, he picked up the box of cigarettes that he had smoked on the coffee table, and put them into his pocket with a quick movement. "Well, I won't be too wordy, I'll prepare now, and I'll have to come to you anytime if there's any trouble."

"No problem, you can come to me anytime these days." Tan Renhao sent Han Shaofeng to the door.

Han Shaofeng is a very cheerful person, and he is also the kind of person who does what he says and never drags on. As soon as he left, before Tan Renhao closed the door, Hao Dongjue rushed in, and then Chang Jianxin followed, and the last person who walked into the office was Lei Shaoqing, who had not met Tan Renhao for almost a year.

"Shaoqing!" Tan Renhao hugged Lei Shaoqing, "When did you arrive?" ”

"Just arrived, Dongjue and Lao Chang came to pick me up." Lei Shaoqing lost a lot of weight and looked more energetic, "It seems that you are also quite busy, right?" ”

"Yes, I just sent Han Shaofeng away, this time I finally got a suitable general of Team 6." Tan Renhao pulled Lei Shaoqing to sit down, "You kid is good, this time with you three brothers, no matter how impossible the task is, we can all complete it." ”

"Blind self-confidence, this is called arrogance!"

Tan Renhao kicked it over, and Hao Dongjue immediately flashed to the side. "Am I wrong? That's what you said before. ”

All four laughed, and the atmosphere livened up. Tan Renhao inquired about Lei Shaoqing's situation this year, and apart from the war in the southwest and Pacific Ocean, Lei Shaoqing had no other news.

"Lao Lei, you can be honest, we all know it." Hao Dongjue sat on the sand farthest away from Tan Renhao, "In the Southwest Pacific for a year, it is impossible to get nothing, right?" ”

Lei Shaoqing's face turned red all of a sudden. Tan Renhao also reacted immediately, Lei Shaoqing must have found a girlfriend, maybe the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice.
