Chapter 188 A Battle Seventy Years Ago
In the autumn of 1944, the great German Third Reich was on the brink of collapse. The battle on the east and west fronts has been completely defeated.
D-Day, also known as the Normandy landings, was initiated by the Allies. D-Day represented a complete shift in the offensive and defensive dynamics between the Iron Crusaders and the Allied Legions.
The allied army of more than one million troops marched continuously from the east and west lines towards the lair of the Communist Party.
Although the Iron Crusaders on the east and west lines were firmly controlled by the Allied forces like iron pincers, the German army did not have the extra strength to organize more counterattacks.
But that doesn't mean they lost all hope of winning. At least that's what the Iron Crusaders think, and those fanatical extremists. Especially the group of people represented by Hydra will not be reconciled to the failure of the great cause of the empire.
Switzerland, this is a country that declares permanent neutrality. There is also a record of not being invaded in two world wars.
So there is a myth that the Swiss can fight well in exchange for safety. And there is still a market for this argument.
But the truth of the matter is that the country of Switzerland is completely tasteless to those countries participating in the war. It has neither important strategic significance nor output.
The country of Switzerland itself does not have rich strategic resources to support the war, nor does it have enough food production capacity to guarantee additional logistics for the army.
If you invade Switzerland, you will get nothing but a piece of useless scorched earth and some cheese to provoke the Swiss to fight back.
This kind of investment is not worth the loss. Of course, there is another important reason, a reason that cannot be mentioned on the surface.
Because since the 1930s, many government officials have used Swiss banks to hide their illegally acquired property.
Don't think that after the great head of state knows the truth of the matter, he will hold back his gang of corrupt officials. That madman with the moustache is sure to handle those guys in the most extreme way possible.
So attack Switzerland? NO! This is the stupidest decision any government official can make. If they really attacked Switzerland, then the evidence of their greed for ink would be directly under the nose of the head of state.
It seems that Switzerland is almost the last piece of pure land on the European front.
But don't forget that when the world's anti-government war is entering its most intense moment, nearly ten thousand people die every day in this peerless war around the world.
Those Swiss bankers still dare to collect the property and various works of art transferred by government officials. Capital is chasing profit, and this kind of thing will not change no matter how many years.
For example, this hidden cave under the Alps, one of the Eagle's Nests built by the Hydra, was repaired with the help of some capitalists in Switzerland.
Bankers don't care how many people died in the war, they only care about who can give them more benefits, after all the Western proverb: businessmen have no country.
Switzerland is a good place. It is a neutral country and is not easy to be targeted by the Allies. So Hydra not only built a later-famous Eagle Fort in southern Germany. A more secluded Eagle's Nest has also been built here in Switzerland.
But there will also be leaks in secret places, and a special operations team that specializes in sabotage behind the German army has already set its sights on this place before Hydra has noticed it.
The number of this team is small, but its combat power is amazing, because the captain of this team is the famous Captain America in later generations-Steve Rogers.
"Wolf Guan, are you sure it's here?" Steve, wearing his iconic uniform, was asking a man nicknamed Wolf Guan.
Lang Guan has a pair of resolute facial features, and looks like a tough guy who cannot be defeated. Although wearing a military uniform made of khaki, it is still difficult to conceal the powerful muscles under the uniform.
"Yes, captain, I'm sure, my nose has never missed it. The smell of the German guy I was following is there." The man named Lang Guan pointed to the hut in the distance.
This is a coniferous forest at the foot of the Alps, where there are a lot of animals, and in the distance is the best ski resort in the world.
If it is in peacetime, it must be a good place to travel.
"These Germans really know how to choose places." Steve glanced at the surrounding scenery and said.
"Yes, you can bring Agent Peggy here for vacation after the war is over." The other person beside the captain is his right-hand man and friend Bucky.
"But let's discuss these matters after all these Germans are sent back to where they should go." Lang Guan interrupted the two of them.
"When is the action captain?"
"Wait until before dawn, when they are most sleepy." Steve made the time to act.
Roaring Commando, a special warfare team active in the rear of the German army. The leader is Steve Rogers. There are not many members of this team, but they are all elite.
"Where are the wolves feeding your brother?" Steve suddenly found that there was one person missing from his team before launching the action.
"He said he has to deal with some special matters, but he will be back in a while." Lang Guan replied.
"Lack of discipline." Bucky spat.
This made Lang Guan stare at Bucky with some dissatisfaction, but Bucky stared back indifferently.
"Don't make trouble, just leave him alone. Our time has come, and the dum bombs and Union Jack are ready for fire support." Captain Rogers ordered.
"Wolf Guan and I will carry out the ambush attack first, and Bucky will be the reserve team. The others will follow the dum bomb and the British flag and be ready to attack at any time."
The time before dawn is always the sleepiest time for people, especially when they are on night shift, the guards at this time will feel a little sleepy.
Even the elite Japanese soldiers are the same, because Switzerland, which has been at peace all year round, makes them not as alert as those soldiers who have been fighting on the front line.
One of the guards even secretly stretched and yawned.
This hunting lodge looks like all the hunting lodges in Switzerland. Many Swiss people live in such houses.
Build a house close to forests and lakes, enjoy the taste of nature, about two hours away from the town, say far or near, maybe go shopping for daily necessities once a week.
But tonight, this seemingly peaceful hunter's lodge smelled of blood.
The lurking wolf is like a general animal with pads on its feet, without making any sound.
Although the hut is surrounded by well-concealed secret whistles, people can hide, but the smell of people cannot escape the nose of the wolf.
Like a preying cheetah, wolf Guan sneaked into the back of a secret whistle without a sound, and covered the opponent's mouth before the guard was alert.
The guard couldn't make any sound, he knew that he was attacked by the enemy, maybe the enemy was about to cut his neck with a dagger.
Contrary to what the guards expected, it wasn't a dagger that ended his life, but three sharp blades that looked like bones.
Three sharp bone blades pierced through his chest, and the pale bones were still covered with his bright red and warm blood, which spewed out from his heart.
After finishing the last guard wolf that he was in charge of, he looked in the direction of the captain. Captain Rogers had already issued a signal, and all the guards outside the hut had been cleared.
As for how to subdue the personnel in the hut quietly? Of course there are ways.
It is said that the New York tycoon, the romantic Howard Stark, gave the captain some very interesting props.
For example, this one is used now, a special grenade that is said to be able to release an inaudible sound wave that can immobilize a person for a short period of time.
However, this thing has a disadvantage, that is, the spread is a bit wide and it becomes uncontrollable. So it is very likely that you have screwed yourself up on the battlefield, so it is a tasteless one.
But in the hands of the captain and Lang Guan, this thing is still very useful, because they all have physiques far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary people may be frozen for more than 20 seconds when they hear that kind of sound wave.
But the captain and wolf can recover after being immobilized for at most three seconds, and the remaining ten seconds are enough for them to finish off the remaining enemies.
The originally peaceful hunter's hut was surrounded by corpses, and the strong smell of blood wafted in the air.
"Did something happen?" Captain Rogers asked, looking at the bloody wolf.
Just now, Lang Guan went to interrogate the last few living captives. It seems that Lang Guan is very experienced in such things as asking for confessions, and it seems that this is not the first time he has done it.
"There is a secret passage down here that leads to a base, which is underground in the Alps. It is said that they are moving, and the war situation is deteriorating. They want to transfer everything to the Eagle Fort in southern Germany." Wolf Guan found He wiped his bloody hands cleanly.
"Transfer what?" Rogers asked.
"A weapon, or many weapons. But these guys don't know what it is, they are just pawns." According to the information just obtained, Lang Guan entered the hunter's hut and found the secret passage.
"How about we go and have a look, Captain?" Looking at the dark passage with no end in sight, Bucky asked a little uneasy.
"Of course, it doesn't matter what they are transferring. Our job is to make it difficult for the enemy to fight as they wish. The more difficult it is for them to fight, the more successful our job will be." Captain Rogers took out his red and blue face The two-color and five-pointed star shield is on the chest.
This is also a product provided by Howard Stark. It is said that it is a special metal obtained by an accidental experiment, and there will be no second piece in the world.
Anyway, until now, Captain America has never found anything that can destroy the defense of this shield.
Captain Rogers raised his shield and walked in the front, while the other Roaring Commando members followed closely behind him and walked towards the inside of the passage.
