Chapter 9: Captain America and the Counterattack
Temporary camp on the front line, at the tent of the headquarters.
"In last night's night-long battle, our side has lost 987 soldiers, and the German enemy has suffered more casualties than us, and now the statistics are nearly 2,000."
After listening to the report of his soldiers, Colonel Marcos frowned deeply.
Nearly 3,000 soldiers were killed, and countless were wounded and unable to fight, so you can imagine how tragic last night's battle was!
"The Germans wanted to occupy this area so frantically last night, and they definitely wanted to use it as a strategic area, and then go straight to the heart of European territory. Although they have temporarily withdrawn from the army, they will definitely not give up so easily, and they will soon make a comeback after resting. Correspondent, how many troops are left in the rear of our army to come to reinforcements? Colonel Marcos frowned.
The communications soldier replied: "The rest of the frontline areas are also very short of manpower and military resources, and there are only three troops and 300 people who can come over to reinforce this side. One of the units was also a pure recruit that had just been improvised from the training base. ”
"Recruits?" When Colonel Marcos heard this, he couldn't help but roar, "What's the use of recruits? I'm on the front line, not a nursery! ”
At this moment, the soldier's voice came from outside the tent, "Report! A soldier named Kyle arrives and says he has something important to inform the colonel. ”
"Soldier Kyle?" Colonel Marcos was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether he remembered that there was suddenly such a person in his camp, and pondered for a moment to let Kyle in.
As soon as Kyle walked into the tent, Colonel Marcos was slightly stunned when he saw him, and blurted out, "Aren't you the recruit who came to report last night?" ”
"Yes, Colonel Marcos." Kyle nodded, and recognized the other party, the colonel in front of him was the one who picked up the plane last night, and then asked him to go directly to the commander of the front-line combat zone.
"What are you going to do?" Colonel Marcos asked in a cold voice, at this time Kyle had not even cleaned himself, and his combat uniform was full of bloody dirt.
"I got a very important piece of intelligence from an elite squad of the German army last night, and I think it will be of great help to the campaign, so I'll come to see you directly after the battle." Kyle said, pulling out the two parchment rolls from his pocket.
"The elite squad of the German army? Intelligence objects? Colonel Marcos was surprised, and immediately took the parchment scroll as if in spirit, and asked verbally, "How did you get it?" ”
"Kill them, of course, and get them out of their bodies." Kyle shrugged and briefly recounted his encounter with the German elite squad on his way to the war zone.
"The elite squad of the enemy army lurking in the rear area of our main army was killed by you?" Colonel Marcos was incredulous, and then spread out the parchment scroll with a little palpitation, and saw that the contents were maps, and countless German codes.
"Sure enough, it's the intelligence code of the German army." Colonel Marcos' eyes widened, and he said in surprise and joy, "They should be on it to collect intelligence information from the combat zone!" Communications soldiers, immediately go to the rear and ask for a professional who can decipher the code! ”
"No, no." Kyle waved his hand slightly.
"Don't need it?"
Colonel Marcos and the Communications Soldier looked at Kyle suspiciously.
Kyle's tired young face showed a smile, "German code language, I just happened to learn it from the professionals at the training base. ”
————
Three days later.
It's been three days since Kyle was sent to the front lines.
At this time, the underground research room.
'Bang! Boom! Boom! ’
In the training grounds, hanging superweight sandbags are constantly tossed under the powerful blows of fists.
Wearing a sweat-soaked vest, the extremely tall and sturdy blonde youth stood steadily in front of the sandbag. Every time he punches an ordinary boxing, he unleashes unimaginable amazing punching power, ravaging the sandbags back and forth.
Carter, who was watching from the sidelines, had a beautiful look in his eyes that showed unbearability, and reminded him loudly: "Steve." It's time to take a break, you've been doing this for an hour. ”
'Bang! ’
As if he hadn't heard, Steve was still boxing the sandbag with more force, sweat pouring down to the ground.
"Steve!" Carter raised his voice coldly, and Steve slapped the sandbag, causing the swing-like sandbag to finally stop.
Steve smiled wryly and said, "What am I like this, super soldier?" Or is it an experiment hidden in the basement? I don't want to be like that. ”
"Steve, your battle isn't here yet." Carter reassured.
"When will that come? How long do I have to wait?! Steve's handsome and righteous face was full of pain, and he said dejectedly, "My brother - Kyle." It's time to fight on the front lines! And I, Steve Rogers, was entrusted with great hope by him, but I stayed here to live a peaceful life without the sound of war. ”
"Kyle." Hearing the name, Carter couldn't help but fall silent.
"I should have done more than just had a boring time here." Steve said.
"Of course. Soldier Steve, you can certainly do more. ”
A neutral voice suddenly interjected, and Steve and Carter looked sideways to see that it was an elderly man in a suit and tie.
"I'm a senator. There are a lot of stage resources and opportunities in your hands, which is enough for you to show your extraordinary talents for people across the country to see. It is also a powerful boost to the current war. The senator smiled, pulled a business card out of his pocket and handed it over, "I call it, Captain America Propaganda Plan." ”
"Captain America?" Steve was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the business card handed by the senator.
At the same time, the front line camped.
"Kyle, the Colonel told you to go to the command."
"Command?" Kyle, who had just returned from the battle, was slightly stunned, but handed over the firearm in hand to the messenger in charge of communication, and walked directly to the white tent of the headquarters.
"Soldier Kyle, come and report!"
"Come in."
Kyle had just stepped into the tent when he found that there were nearly a dozen officers in officer uniforms standing inside.
Colonel Marcos, the highest-ranking officer in the command, sat in a chair, and when he saw Kyle walk in, Colonel Marcos raised his voice and said, "Guys, this is the soldier who brought back the two intelligence maps three days ago and finished interpreting them, Kyle. ”
More than a dozen officers immediately focused their eyes on Kyle, and they also showed expressions of amazement when they saw him so handsome and young.
"Soldier Kyle, you've really done a great job this time!"
"Yes, I heard that there is a map that collects information about our camp, and if it is brought back by those hateful Nasha, I am afraid that this place will be blown away by bomber shells."
"You don't come, it's more important to have a second map."
"It's all important, it's important to be able to bring back the intelligence map and decipher it, and now the quality of the recruits is really getting stronger and stronger."
"Rare talents, our army needs such fresh blood."
Kyle was in a state of verbal praise until Colonel Marcos coughed and cleared his throat that the tent relented.
"Soldier Kyle. The significant contribution you have made to the army will be reported to you when the results of this battle are successful. Colonel Marcos said solemnly.
Kyle's pupils shrank and he was surprised, "The result of this battle? Do you say ......"
"That's right." Colonel Marcos nodded, spread out the information on the interpretation of the second parchment scroll on the table, and said majestically and domineeringly: "Thanks to you, the second map of the interpretation marks several German camping bases outside the combat zone here. ”
"With it, the general has given the latest order - tonight, we will have the first large-scale counterattack operation!"
