Chapter Thirty-Nine: Saving Private Bucky
Under the cover of darkness, a Beechcraft UC43 light transport plane flew into Austrian airspace.
The roar of artillery fire on the ground lit up the dense forest below from time to time.
Rolling mountains on both sides, thick fog and extremely low visibility.
Flying an airplane in this bad weather requires a lot of technical requirements from the pilot.
"Hydra's barracks is in Fort Claus, between two mountain ranges, where there are about two munitions factories, and the number of defenders is about six hundred......"
Behind the cabin, Carter took out a map and patiently explained with his head down.
Although there is a lesson in military topography, Luke and Rogers may not have learned it.
At the beginning of the Caspian training camp, they were more engaged in high-intensity physical training.
"Is the message accurate?"
Rogers couldn't help but ask, but received a roll of Carter's eyes.
This is the information that the Strategic Science Corps spent a lot of effort to intercept from the Hydra.
During World War II, Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany and joined the war against the Central Powers.
In order to support the front line and prevent the advance of the Allied army.
Hydra has set up a secret base in Fort Claus to create energy weapons and strengthen warriors.
As it turned out, the results were significant.
The raiding force of more than 200 people of the 107th Infantry Regiment was defeated by the Hydra soldiers led by a few reinforced fighters and returned with a crushing defeat.
The intelligence services of the Strategic Science Corps believed that Allied soldiers who had been taken prisoner were most likely to be escorted to Fort Claus as labor and experimental subjects.
"I thought you'd report this to Colonel Phillips and then have Allied Command give instructions to stop my rescue operation."
Luke, who was sitting in the back cabin, laughed.
"I'm not cold-blooded, Brigadier General Cavill."
Carter stroked his falling hair and looked up.
"I don't want to see soldiers die, but if you want to win a war, you have to take care of the big picture and not be dominated by emotional emotions."
Luke raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Then why is Miss Carter willing to help us?" ”
The original plan was for him and Rogers to drive into Fort Claus and raid the munitions factory.
Create chaos and create opportunities to rescue Bucky or captured soldiers.
But later, Carter also decided to join, and by the way, he also pulled a genius scientist who can fly an airplane.
Howard Stark!
"You say you're good at miracles, and I wonder if that's true."
Carter replied coldly.
Rogers, who was sitting on the side, had a wandering look in his eyes, and he felt that Luke and Carter seemed to have a bit of a-for-tat gunpowder smell.
Have they had an unpleasant misunderstanding before?
Captain America, who didn't understand people's hearts, looked confused and shrank back, not intending to get involved.
"It's almost there! I'll drop you off near that base! ”
In the driver's seat, Howard's voice was heard.
As an arms tycoon, a genius scientist, and a well-known tycoon, it is normal and reasonable for him to fly airplanes.
"Howard, I heard Miss Carter say that you are the best pilot she has ever seen! Hopefully, when the altitude is lowered, this transport plane will not be hit down by the Axis fire! ”
Luke didn't nervously strap up his parachute bag and prepare for a low-altitude skydive, as Rogers did.
He's relaxed, like he's waiting to do, not a dangerous rescue mission, but a fun and exciting wilderness adventure.
"The men of the Stark family are the best at what they do, this is our family tradition."
Howard piloted the light transport plane, first pulling up, sailing above the clouds, and then rapidly lowering in a swooping position.
Under the fog with extremely low visibility, doing this kind of dazzling operation, I have to say that he has a big heart.
"Prepare to skydive, Brigadier General! It is my heartfelt hope that you will not be on the Allied dead list. ”
Howard stabilized the fuselage, and the roar of artillery fire could be faintly heard below, like a thunderclap that shook the sky.
"Relax, Rogers. Our mission is simple, to confirm that Bucky is alive and to rescue the captured soldiers. ”
Opening the hatch, a strong air current poured in, and Luke comforted Rogers, who was stepping on the battlefield for the first time.
This is Captain America's first time, and it's inevitable to be a little nervous.
Boom Boom!
The earth seemed to tremble, and the sound of wailing sounded, and the light of artillery fire reflected the night sky.
Seeing this, Rogers took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready!" ”
Tighten your umbrella bag and take a leap!
"Rogers can't wait......"
Luke said jokingly, ready to jump off as well.
"Get the transceiver! The Allies will find you by signal! ”
Carter stood in the doorway, shoving the transceiver to Luke.
The latter said softly: "Miss Carter, the overall situation of a war is accumulated by local advantages. Maybe those soldiers are insignificant and can't affect anything, but the existence of pushing the wheel of history is precisely the insignificant people like them. ”
Luke put the transceiver in his pocket, strapped his umbrella bag, and leaned back.
Before falling, he reached out and made a triumphant gesture towards Carter.
The howling wind was like a knife, blowing Luke's Kryptonian suit.
The dark red cloak hunted like a fluttering flag!
Luke fell rapidly under the fierce artillery fire below!
With this Kryptonian suit with amazing defensive power, he is confident that he will be safe and sound if he is hit head-on by a cannonball!
On the devastated land, there is a dense black forest.
The artillery fire is continuous, and the vibration is endless!
The soldiers on both sides shouted and fought each other, unleashing the most primitive human impulses of violence.
"Rogers! Open the umbrella! ”
Luke's voice was blown away by the wind, intermittently reaching Captain America's ears.
The latter obediently opened the umbrella bag, and a small black flower bloomed.
The descent slowed down, and Rogers turned his head to look at Luke.
He was shocked to find that the other party did not open the umbrella at all!
At this time, the height is already close to seven hundred meters!
Normally, the minimum safe altitude for an airplane skydive is 500 meters!
This is Carter's emphasis, be sure to pay attention to the time of opening the parachute!
"Luke ......"
Rogers shouted hard.
An anxious voice came out of his mouth, and was immediately blown away by the strong wind, tearing into fragments.
At a height of 100 meters, at the dangerous moment of rapid fall, in Rogers' shocked eyes, Lukla opened his umbrella bag.
Taking advantage of this cushion, he pulled out the paratrooper knife between his legs and cut the rope.
The impact of what should have been at least half a fall didn't have any effect on Luke.
This made Rogers, who landed safely on the ground, sincerely admire.
No wonder Colonel Phillips regarded Luke as the best super-soldier, and the two leaders of the Central Powers, President Roosevelt and Churchill of Britain, called him "Superman".
The kind of altitude just now, Rogers might not dare to try it - he might be able to do it, but if he has never trained to skydive, it will definitely not be as easy as Luke.
"Go two kilometers in this direction, through the trees, and you'll find the base of Hydra."
Luke didn't know what Captain America was going to do, so he pulled out his map and glanced at it, then began a quick march.
As a superman, he should be able to fly, so what's so great about low-altitude skydiving.
If he had known Rogers' thoughts, Luke would have replied in his mind.
Through the thick fog of the night, the two marched all the way.
It didn't take long for me to go deep into the edge of the jungle and see a huge and heavily defended base.
An electrified barbed wire fence erects a high wall, behind which stands a guard post.
Beams of searchlights swept by, and below were patrolling guards.
These Guards with Hydra armbands, their equipment was a century ahead of the Allies!
The infinite energy developed by the Cosmic Cube was applied to various weapons, guns and cannons by the red skull of Hydra.
There's even a giant multi-turret tank, a meat grinder-like steel monster!
It can be said responsibly that if Captain America hadn't been born out of nowhere, incarnated as Shi Aimin, and staged an anti-German hero, the timeline of this world would have turned a corner.
Because the Axis powers have completely crushed the Allied armies in terms of technology, coupled with the enhanced warriors that Red Skull is developing, once it is put into the European battlefield, the Allies who are currently advancing will probably collapse and collapse immediately!
"You go rescue the captured soldiers, I'll see if I can find the leader of Hydra, the Red Skull!"
Luke called the shots, and Red Skull and Dr. Zola should be in this base.
If you can get the Cosmic Cube in advance, it can be regarded as a good choice.
Although in Luke's eyes, the six Infinity Stones may not have the potential of the Superman template.
But the Cosmic Rubik's Cube contains infinite energy, which really intrigues him.
