The sweeping work in the canal zone was completed in late September, and Tan Renhao completed the task in accordance with the regulations. U.S. forces are retreating to the mountains of the west, as well as to Costa Rica. At the end of September, Han Shaofeng advanced the battle line to the vicinity of Penonomi, and then to the west to the mountainous region of Central America, which basically ensured the safety of the canal. On the east side of the canal, the U.S. troops surrendered to the 31st Marine Division of Han Shaofengdi on September 24, and about two U.S. officers and soldiers laid down their arms.

In all land campaign plans, the final land to be completed is the Mine Clearance Operation. As with the pre-war ground intelligence, the U.S. military dropped a large number of mines in the Panama Canal, and most of them were sunken remote-controlled mines, which were the most difficult to clear. During the minesweeping operation, which lasted for nearly 20 days, a total of six minesweepers were blown up and sunk, and more than 100 officers and ...... were killed By the 4th of October, the minesweepers had finally cleared the river of mines, and the warships could pass through the Panama Canal and enter the Gulf of Limon to the north.

Sporadic battles on the ground are still going on. The containment of prisoners of war was also not completed, and the Panamanian police force was reorganized from a guerrilla force and needed training assistance from the Marine Corps, and much of the aftermath was not completed. Tan Renhao can also be regarded as having experienced the taste of being the "Emperor Taishang", and the provisional government of Panama is just an administrative body under his management. Almost all major matters have to be decided by him. Tan Renhao was not happy for power, but haggard for the trivial affairs that he couldn't deal with every day.

"Dude. Do you need to work so hard? "Hao Dongjue has a lot more relaxed, especially after moving to Panama City. There's very little he can do." Anyway, you can't deal with these things, so don't be so desperate, I heard that the ethnic customs here are quite unique. Otherwise, we'll go out tomorrow ......."

"Come on, don't mess with me." Tan Renhao didn't want to waste time, "If you're bored, then go and help me deal with the wounded, or go back to the fleet."

"I'm not going back, isn't Zhu Rongzhe in charge of dealing with the wounded?"

Tan Renhao shook his head. Then you go and manage the captives. I'm afraid that Han Shaofeng will cause problems, and last time someone reacted, dozens of innocent US soldiers disappeared, obviously there are records in the first file, and these people are no longer in the second file." Can be reprinted in Zhua ~ Xia Zhong%.

"You can manage one Han Shaofeng, and you can manage more than 100,000 marines?" Hao Dongjue sighed. This matter is not serious, and Han Shaofeng has lost so many subordinates. It is also understandable that as long as we don't poke it, no one will know, I heard, you destroyed the first POW report? ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he didn't say anything. What kind of person is Han Shaofeng, Tan Renhao knows very well in his heart. As early as the attack on the Mariana Islands, some people reported that Han Shaofeng had privately executed prisoners of war, and Han Shaofeng was also investigated several times. Now Tan Renhao already knows. Those four commandos are all the most elite officers and soldiers under Han Shaofeng, and the major who died is Han Shaofeng's most important subordinate. Maybe Han Shaofeng was carried away by anger again.

"Well, don't complain." Tan Renhao put down the documents in his hand, "Tomorrow, the local officials sent by the government will arrive, and when the time comes, I don't need to deal with these things, let's go back to the fleet together."

Dong Jue was happy at first, and then he was unhappy." What are you going back to do so soon? We're going to have to wait for the convoy to arrive anyway."

"The transport fleet is also arriving tomorrow. Ammunition and supplies will be delivered." Tan Renhao stood up, "If you have time. Let's wait and see the wounded."

Dong Jue sighed, that is, his happy time was over.

The next morning, a group of 12 destroyers, 50 10,000 tons, escorted Balboa Harbor, because of the limited capacity of Balboa Harbor, the escort destroyers entered Rodman Military Harbor, and a group of ships had to dock at the newly built dock on the Mara Point side. This fleet brought war supplies to the Marine Corps, as well as ammunition for the fleet, as well as a batch of maintenance equipment. The most common shipments are food, and war refugees who had been exiled to neighbouring countries are returning one after another. And what these people need most is food.

The local officials sent by the government arrived with the fleet, and the leader was the Hua @ Xia Chinese member of the senior assistant of the inner minister, and there were more than ten officials. These people are here to replace Tan Ren Haodi, who will be responsible for directing the interim government of Panama. In fact, it is to take control of the Provisional Government of Panama.

After completing the handover ceremony, Tan Renhao returned to the fleet with Hao Dongjue. At the time, Task Force 3 was replenishing ammunition at Rodman Military Harbor, while the other two task forces were patrolling the open sea. Before leaving, Tan Renhao got a top-secret file, to be precise, a naval battle plan.

"Look, I told you that the headmaster won't let us have an easy time." Tan Renhao threw the document on the table and unbuttoned the top button on the top of his uniform.

"Hey, I know." ■Dong Jue did it, "Good things don't have our share, and there are a lot of drudgeries, I don't know what kind of major task this time is."

When Tan Renhao took off his coat, Hao Dongjue had already opened the document. The battle plan was divided into several parts, and the two looked at each other separately. Two hours later, Tan Renhao and Hao Dongjue's expressions changed, this was not only a major military operation, but also a very difficult military operation.

"Damn, this is simply called non-stop, the mule has to catch his breath when he is tired!" Hao Dongjue said as he took out his cigarette, "We are also human beings, we can't use us like machines, we have only been resting for a few days, and we want to set off again."

"You don't want to do it?" Personal Hua $ Summer #Wen Netizen Record

"Of course not, but we have to take a breather, and now Han Shaofeng is still exchanging fire with the US military in the west, and our bombers only dispatched two batches yesterday. We can't leave now."

Tan Renhao laughed.■Dong Jue is making an excuse, and it's a not very clever excuse." As you can see, the Chief of Staff has arranged to take over our troops. The Naval Fleet will arrive in five days, and the fighting on the Hawaiian Islands will soon be over, if all goes well. The Third Fleet will be able to complete the refitting work by the end of the year. When the time comes, we'll be able to come and replace us, and we'll just have to hold on for a few more months."

"A few months? It's been more than two months since we set off. If we don't return to the country until the end of the year, we're probably going to have to set a new record."

"Come on, if you find it hard, then I'll help you apply. How about Task Force 2 returning tomorrow? ”

"Dude, don't hurt me." ■Dong Jue's expression immediately changed, "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, it's okay to complain, right?" ”

For Hao Dongjue's cheekiness. There is nothing to be done about it." Okay, then you go and contact Lao Chang. And Han Shaofeng, let the two of them come to me as soon as possible."

Before evening. Chang Jianxin and Han Shaofeng both rushed over. Tan Renhao took them to the conference room, and after closing the door, Tan Renhao gave the two of them the battle plan they had just received.

"Let's go now?" Chang recommended SHKP's first reaction was a little surprised, "This is a little too hasty, right?" Task Force 3 isn't in very good shape right now."

"Tell me about your situation." Tan Renhao brought the tea. Can be reprinted in Zhua ~ Xia Zhong%.

"Most of the battleships had problems, especially the cruisers, and the ground guns were almost at the limit of their life." Chang Jianxin shrugged his shoulders, "There is no infrastructure here that needs to be repaired, and it must be returned for repair. If we start from the place now, it will not be possible for the 3rd Task Force to exert its maximum combat effectiveness."

It is often said that in supporting Marine Corps ground operations, the ground guns of Task Force 3 are more effective than the ground bombers of Task Force 1 and Task Force 2. In particular, in the Canal Zone battles, almost seventy percent of the ground fire support tasks were performed by the 3rd Task Force. During high-intensity support operations, it is inevitable that the battleship will break down, and the gun barrel will soon reach the limit of its life. This problem has arisen many times in previous battles, otherwise the navy would not have specially modified or built fire support ships.

Tan Renhao thought about it for a while. This is indeed a problem that there is certainly no way to replace the ground here with the barrel of the gun. Can other faults be resolved? ”

"Try to do it, mainly some important spare parts we don't have."

"Then try to fix it." Tan Renhao looked at Han Shaofeng. What's wrong with the Marine Corps? ”

"No big problem, now we have plenty of artillery shells, and the artillery units I need are coming. Will the Naval Force be able to arrive in five days? ”

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that."

"Then there's no problem. As long as the fleet arrives, we will not need the fleet to continue to support us." Han Shaofeng paused, "However, I think it's too hasty to set off now to collect the Hua @ Xia Chinese members, should I ask the Navy Command again."

"I think so too." Chang Jianxin expressed the same point of view, "The current state of the fleet is not good, not to mention other places, many officers and men are not suitable for the water and soil here, and there are more than 30 sick numbers on our flagship alone. The medical officer has done his best, but the medical officer on the battleship is not a real doctor at all, and the medical officer on the medical ship is not very helpful. A lot of our preparations are not in place, and if we set off in a hurry, it will not be good for the fleet."

"It's been written very clearly in the order."

"Ren Hao, Lao Chang and General Han are right, it's too hasty to set off now, and we don't know anything about the situation over there, if we act rashly......" Hao Dongjue shook his head as he said, "It's better to ask for instructions again, anyway, it won't take much time, if we get the same reply from the land, we won't say anything, just carry out the order."

Tan Renhao glanced at the three of them, and the three of them looked at each other the same. Okay, then I'll go send a telegram now, and you guys wait here."

The telegram was first received by the Kauai Underground Transit Station, then transmitted to Guam, and finally sent back to the Zhoushan Naval Headquarters. Tan Renhao forgot one thing, it is still early in the morning in Zhoushan, and the sky is not yet dawn, and the chief of staff and the principal must not have arrived at their office yet. As a result, Tan Renhao and the others waited until after dinner to receive a call back from the Navy Command. Personal Hua $ Summer #Wen Netizen Record

Tan Renhao read the message first, and then handed it to Hao Dongjue. Hao Dongjue sighed after reading it, and then gave Chang a new recommendation. Chang Jianxin just smiled slightly. In the end, it was given to Han Shaofeng.

"It seems that this telegram is indeed very valuable." Tan Renhao sat down, "Lao Chang, let's go according to the previous plan, and the fleet will complete the replenishment work as soon as possible."

"Then I'll go back later. Try to speed up the supply of land."

"Task Force 2 will return to Rodman Military Port tomorrow." Tan Renhao looked at Hao Dongjue. Task Force 1 will be resupplied for the last time, and then it's time for us to sail back."

■Dong Kaku nodded immediately. That's exactly what he needs to answer.

"General Han, if you need anything to say, you can bring it up now, otherwise the fleet will return to the ship. I can't help anymore."

"It's nothing, you can return to the ship in peace, I can take care of the rest."

Tan Renhao glanced at the three of them again. Then, we will go and prepare for the return of the officers and men, and strive to get the officers and men back home as soon as possible."

The telegram sent back by the naval command was diametrically opposed to the previous order, in fact, Tan Renhao did not want to enter the Atlantic at this time, they did not know anything about the situation on the other side of the Atlantic, and the state of the fleet was still very bad, so they entered the Atlantic at this time. That's asking for trouble. Therefore. After receiving the order to let them return to the place of return. Tan Renhao himself breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps the biggest problem for the Imperial Army in Panama at the time was not the resistance of the American army, nor the poor domestic situation in Panama, but the disease of the region. Many officers and soldiers fell because of the epidemic, and at that time, there was an epidemic of tropical diseases such as ■ disease in the area, and the American army had many sick numbers, not to mention the imperial army. The local medicines brought in were quickly exhausted, and the emergency local medicines have not yet arrived. There are at least a thousand sick men in the fleet and marines, and more than a dozen officers and men who are not in good health have died. This is a problem that Tan Renhao cannot ignore, and this is also the biggest problem that affects the combat effectiveness of the fleet.

After determining the place of return, the three task forces took turns to enter the Rodman Military Harbor to replenish their fuel. Three days later. The fleet left the Bay of Panama and returned with a convoy of convoys. The officers and men on the battleship were very excited, and for the officers and men of the navy, returning home was the most anticipated thing, and it was also the most hopeful thing!
