It has been more than a month since the last assassination of Lucas, and the time has also come to April. And as the date of the Normandy landings drew closer, more and more troops were gathered on the British side on the Allied side.

Historically, the Allies have amassed a huge force of 2.88 million men for this campaign, including 36 army divisions, more than 5,300 naval warships, and as many as 13,700 flying combat aircraft. At this moment, the tasks of various units have become more and more intense, and the increase in the number of people has brought considerable pressure to logistics, and hundreds of thousands of people have eaten, drank, and lazar on the basis of tons, and even the output of "Spam", which is regarded as the devil by the US military, is also somewhat tight, not to mention all kinds of war materials.

If there were no bullets, how could you expect the Allied GIs to fight on the battlefield and use the butts of their guns as burning sticks?

Large quantities of strategic supplies, including food supplies, ammunition, uniforms, tents, etc., were transported to the rear of the British mainland by guò ships and planes, and then transported to the front line of the battlefield.

Zhang Yang has been in the UK for more than two months, and among them, six members of the first batch of members of the Nightkin have been killed, one is disabled, and several are seriously injured and hospitalized.

In this way, counting the Hydra Major that Zhang Yang once killed, neither Zhang Yang nor Baron Straker took advantage. Even Zhang Yang himself didn't expect that when Steve and Red Skull, a pair of life and death enemies, had not yet sparked, he actually did it with Baron Straker first!

“TNND。 Suffered. ”

Six people died, one person was disabled and relegated to the second line, and the reduction of seven people was a big loss for the Nightkin brigade, which was only in its early forties. You must know that they are all carefully selected, and unlike ordinary soldiers, their own strategic value is higher.

It may sound a little unpleasant, but the people of the Nightkin Brigade at this moment are somewhat similar to the pilots of later generations, the pilots belong to the high-tech arms, and the selection criteria are very strict. The value of a pilot to be trained by the state is far greater than that of an airplane, and the loss of a good pilot is definitely greater than that of an airplane. Airplanes are built in one turn on the assembly line, but pilots can't.

If not. The treatment of pilots will not make others so blushing, and the official pilots basically start as captains, compared to the infantry who crawl in the muddy water, they want to survive step by step from private to captain. It's a very long process.

Certainly more stingy than the pilot. For example, astronauts, all astronauts are basically school officers, higher than the level of pilots, which is understandable, the cost of a landing is extremely huge, and the astronauts who have really been in the sky as long as their qualifications and age are enough, they are basically colonels in the water, and the first two batches are now major generals.

And a little lower than these classes. Artillery, for example, also requires a high level of education and knowledge. It is no longer the early years to rely on experience to fire artillery, and the artillery that graduated from the military academy is not bad at all. If you count the technical talents in some special departments, it will be a sea of people.

As for the art troupe's baa ......, you know.

At this moment, as the first batch of relatively mature and important reference night kin brigades, in the eyes of the army, it has also become a fragrant bait at this moment, and those who are a little far-sighted can see the special effect played by this special unit. Especially in peacetime after the war, it is impossible to pull a large army with guns and artillery to go out to beat people at every turn, and the unconventional combat methods of special forces are far more suitable than this method.

Although the reduction of seven people made Zhang Yang's face black, in the same way, after experiencing the baptism of war, the remaining team members have become veterans who have seen blood, even if they are new soldiers who have joined the army, they are all covered in iron and blood, which makes Zhang Yang feel a lot more relieved.

As the supreme commander of this unit, Zhang Yang personally sent letters of condolence to the families of the six fallen soldiers through the telegraph machine in Phillips's office, and in addition to the pensions issued by the United States government, Zhang Yang took out a sum of money himself and sent it back to the families of these soldiers, which was regarded as his last bit of strength.

After receiving the news of their son's death, these families were not as unbearable as Zhang Yang imagined, the war had been fought for several years, and even ordinary families were a little numb in the face of successive deaths.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yang, Colonel Phillips, please go to the headquarters!"

Zhang Yang had gone to the field hospital before to visit the soldier whose left leg had been disabled by a shell, and as soon as he returned, he received a notice from a second lieutenant that Phillips had something to look for him.

"I'll clean up and go over."

The second lieutenant saluted and turned to leave, still having some admiration for the young Chinese lieutenant colonel.

Zhang Yang tidied up the scattered text on the table, locked it in the cabinet and left his office, there were two senior soldiers at the door who were in charge of guarding the place, except for Zhang Yang and a few people who had been allowed by Zhang Yang, no one else was allowed to enter here.

Although it can't be compared with the headquarters of Phillips's office, there are many special texts stored here, all of which are related to the Nightcrawler Brigade, mainly because the army is preparing to form a special brigade with more people, and this task falls on Zhang Yang, the only commander who has relevant experience and is still the only special brigade in active service.

The plan given above is to expand the number of people to about 250-400 people, with a maximum of 500 people, and the establishment of regimental level, which is the first stage, mainly because the army needs to give a clear account to the Congress, and at the same time, taking into account the restrictions of command, the second stage will be officially carried out after the follow-up table is good, and other brigades will be formed one after another. Among them, the department is still directly subordinate to the high-level command of the Allied forces, and ordinary regimental levels, including regimental and lower units, have no authority to command at all, at least at the division and brigade level.

It was Phillips who received the task, and the specific person in charge was Zhang Yang, during this time all the personnel of the Nightcrawler were requisitioned back to London, and Zhang Yang was also busy dealing with the formation of this new team during this time, not to mention anything else, the selection of these more than 200 team members alone is a big deal. In addition to the British troops, there were 2 infantry divisions in the selection range given by the army, and after the first batch of soldier data primaries, the selection range still included more than 20,000 people, far exceeding the 107th Infantry Regiment at that time.

Zhang Yang speculated that the reason why Phillips was looking for him might have something to do with this incident, and then pushed open the door of the headquarters.

"Colonel Phillips, are you looking for me?"

"You're coming, coming, sitting down."

As soon as Phillips looked up, he saw Zhang Yang coming in, and then got up and said hello.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang casually dragged a chair and sat down, Phillips was the only one in the headquarters of Nuoda at the moment, and the other staff officers and the like were not present, obviously they had no right to hear the conversation between Phillips and himself.

"How's the preparation for the audition? Did you encounter any difficulties? At this time, you are welcome, if you have any questions, just ask them, and I will try my best to help you solve them. Phillips looked very kind at the moment, but it was a pity that Zhang Yang knew that this old fellow was a fox, and the more harmless he was to humans and animals, the more likely he was to be ready to calculate people.

However, the selection matter was handled by the two of them, and Zhang Yang couldn't avoid each other, after all, he was still a soldier under Phillips's name, so he couldn't directly cross the border to take over the task, which made Phillips worry about not having to find small shoes for himself to wear? Zhang Yang said his thoughts: "After these days of preparation, I already have some clues, but this time is different from the last time, after all, whether it is the number of people, the scope, and the surrounding environment, etc., are very different, I must be cautious." ”

"Well, you're right, it's a good thing to be cautious, the sooner you find the problem, the sooner you can solve it." Phillips nodded approvingly.

Phillips asked Zhang Yang about some other things, which basically had nothing to do with the formation of this new team, and Zhang Yang was used to it, but he knew why Phillips was so anxious to do everything he could to make this happen.

Zhang Yang is already a lieutenant colonel at the moment, only one level lower than Phillips, if he is not too young to convince the public, plus he is a yellow race, he is already a battalion commander level figure at this moment, but Zhang Yang's Night Stalker Brigade, although the number is small, but the combat effectiveness and importance are recognized by the upper echelons, and no one is stupid enough to transfer Zhang Yang out of here for snow hiding.

No matter how powerful Zhang Yang is, unless he directly kills Hitler or kills the entire high-level of Nazi Germany, he can only hover at the level of generals in this life, and it is basically impossible to become a general. No matter how much Zhang Yang rebels against the sky, he will not be able to turn the sky in the cognition of the military's top brass.

Against the sky? When hundreds of thousands of troops of the U.S. Army are eating dry food, one person can beat Zhang Yang into scum with one punch, not to mention the navy's ship artillery?

Zhang Yang naturally had no plans to go against the sky, but his rapid promotion caused Phillips a sense of crisis. This old man, whose hair has turned gray, spent many years when he was young to get to his current position, but he was quickly overtaken by Zhang Yang in a short period of time, and he was naturally worried that his position would not be guaranteed.

If this is placed in ancient times, it is the standard merit of the lord, and it would be strange if the emperor who holds the highest power can sleep peacefully. If you don't pull it out and click it off on a trumped-up charge, you are already benevolent and righteous.

But while Phillips was worried, he was also glad in his heart, because Zhang Yang only started to make his career after being transferred to his subordinates, no matter what happens in the future, Phillips, as Zhang Yang's direct boss, will inevitably get a piece of the pie, and Zhang Yang's yellow-skinned identity is the best shackle, no matter how Zhang Yang is promoted in the future, Phillips is also sure that he will not surpass himself-

Report to you in advance, it's been a bit busy these days, and I'll make up for it tomorrow as soon as I update it today. I won't go into detail about this situation later, if you are busy one day, you will make up for it afterwards, please rest assured. (To be continued......)
