December 15, when the South American countries set off a mighty anti-American wave, under the leadership of the two Pacific Fleet cruisers of the Eagle Sauce, the main force of the Far East Fleet of the Sun Never Sets, the main force of the Foot Basin Combined Fleet suddenly killed to the Panama Canal area!

There was originally a battalion of American troops stationed in the canal area.

When South America began to resist the Eagle Sauce, this battalion of American troops was frightened and hid in the camp trembling, fearing that the enemy would rush over from all directions and kill them!

After all, their number was too small, and the length of the Panama Canal was very long. The troops stationed here were not very sufficient, not to mention being surrounded by the enemy. If the enemy launched an attack on them, they might be defeated soon!

These American troops in the Canal Zone were originally domineering in the Canal Zone. Relying on the support of the powerful motherland, the Eagle Sauce, they did not know how to restrain themselves at all. They did not take the local indigenous people seriously at all, and often bullied the indigenous people!

At this time, when all the South American countries began to add insult to injury to the Eagle Sauce, the Panamanian government also planned to take back the Panama Canal, which was extremely important to them! Although this canal was not dug by them, it passed through their own country after all, so they must control it. Otherwise, if it continues to fall into the hands of the US military, sooner or later the US military will split it from their hands!

So, the Panamanian government assembled a group of troops and organized some people to start attacking the Canal Zone.

However, Panama is just a small country after all, and in order to prevent them from taking back the Canal Zone, the Eagle Sauce had strictly controlled their domestic troops to prevent their troops from threatening their control over the Canal Zone!

The result is that Panama’s own military strength is quite weak. They basically have no navy. The navy only has a few small patrol boats, with a staff of less than 500 people, which is almost negligible.

And their army is also very weak. Their army has only one brigade of troops, with a total number of only about 3,000 people, and this brigade is only equipped with some light weapons, not heavy weapons. Their most powerful weapon is just an 80mm mortar!

And even this kind of weapon is strictly limited in quantity by the Eagle Sauce.

The Panamanian army has only 12 such mortars!

On the other hand, the US troops in the canal zone, although they only have a battalion of troops, the US military is relatively large.

A battalion has about 1,800 soldiers.

In terms of numbers, the gap between them and the Panamanian government army is not big!

So in the past, the US troops in the canal zone were very confident in their own military strength, and they did not think that the Panamanian army could threaten them at all.

However, the situation at this time is different. Their connection with the mainland has been cut off. After Florida and Texas fell one after another, it may be difficult for the US military reinforcements to support Canada, so they are now fighting alone and it is difficult to get help!

When fighting alone, the morale of the US military immediately dropped by half, and the soldiers became very timid, fearing that they would be besieged by the enemy!

The Panamanian army is solid, but at this time other countries in South America have jumped out to oppose the Eagle Sauce. If these countries send troops to intervene in this war, can they still resist?

The more the US soldiers thought about it, the more they felt that they lacked courage. So, without waiting for the enemy to take action, they took the initiative to shrink their troops and shrink their troops to the camp near the Caribbean Sea, and concentrated the ships, making a posture ready to run away at any time!

If the enemy does not attack them, then they will stick to this camp in the east and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

If the enemy attacks, they will selectively resist according to the enemy’s strength and equipment. If they can hold it, they will hold it. If they can’t hold it, they will just take a boat and escape. Nothing else is more important than their own lives, so they should save their lives first!

However, the first batch of Panamanian troops who came to attack were very weak. They drove all their regular troops over and organized a large number of militias. As a result, they had no way to deal with the US military camp. They lacked heavy weapons and could not chew the US military fortifications. They risked their lives several times and were suppressed by the machine gun fire of the US military. After paying a large number of casualties, they had to retreat.

Although the Panamanians’ military strength is not strong, their minds are not stupid. After realizing that they could not take back the canal with their own military strength, they asked for help from the South American countries in the south. After receiving Panama’s letter for help, Latin American countries immediately began to organize troops to go north and prepare to besiege the Eagle Sauce camp with them.

Panama itself has a small population of only 400,000 people, and basically no industrial strength. In addition, it is suppressed by the Eagle Sauce, so its military strength is quite weak.

But their former motherland, Colombia, which had a war with the Eagle Sauce, is not a weak country.

Colombia has never given up its sovereignty over Panama, especially after the opening of the Panama Canal, they attached more importance to this former territory. Therefore, after receiving Panama’s telegram for help, they immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to take back the lost territory and take over the Panama Canal, so they immediately dispatched 20,000���The troops headed north!

These 20,000 people were fully armed and carried a large number of heavy weapons. Although their weapons and equipment were not as elite as those of the U.S. military and mainstream European countries, they were at least much better than those of the Panamanian army, and they had a ten-fold advantage in manpower. They were confident that they could destroy the U.S. troops in the canal area!

This was indeed the case. When the Colombian army arrived, the good days of the U.S. military were over.

The heavy artillery carried by the Colombian army posed a huge threat to the U.S. military’s fortifications. The U.S. military, which used to be safe hiding in the fortifications, did not dare to hide in these fortifications easily at this time, because under the heavy artillery attack of the Colombian army, these fortifications were as fragile as paper and were easily destroyed!

Seeing this scene, the U.S. soldiers were shocked one by one. The other side had more people than them and had heavy weapons, but their reinforcements were slow to come. If this continued, they might all die here!

So, the U.S. military immediately prepared to retreat!

They had already prepared ships to withdraw to their homeland!

However, just as they were preparing to retreat, the British and Japanese allied forces from the Far East suddenly rushed in from the canal. Under the joint attack of the two navies, the coalition forces of the South American countries suffered heavy casualties and were defeated!

The control of the Panama Canal is still in the hands of the allies!

Moreover, the Far East fleet has passed through the canal and entered the Atlantic Ocean!
