As the saying goes, fighting to nourish war, participating in actual combat on the battlefield is far more obvious than sweating on the training ground.

After the expansion of the Dire Brigade was completed, Zhang Yang and a group of veteran members immediately began to put five squadrons into the battlefield in batches after a month-long emergency training for the new members, and participated in normal combat operations while training. During this period of time, although there were some casualties, compared with the benefits of the harvest, it was still relatively satisfying.

It was already June, and the historic Normandy landings were delayed by more than 10 days from the original landing date of June 6, and a full-scale offensive was finally launched on the morning of June 21.

The significance of this operation is extremely important, and once the second battlefield is successfully opened, it will completely turn the tide of the battle. On this day, hundreds of thousands of Allied and German troops, under the command of Eisenhower and Rommel, respectively, launched this important military operation.

When the Allied vanguard arrived in Normandy, the 107th Infantry Regiment in Italy was also under great pressure. In addition to immediately mobilizing troops on a large scale to the battlefield for support, the German troops on other battlefields also launched a new round of fierce counterattacks, striving to temporarily suppress the offensive momentum of the remaining Allied forces and preparing to give priority to the landing force.

"Jingle bells."

The command has not slackened in the past few days, the telephone and telegraph machines inside have hardly stopped, and the battle orders from the American side, as well as the tight fighting at the front, have been continuously delivered to Phillips.

"Brigadier General. It's a telegram from Steve's team, who have destroyed Red Skull's Base C and managed to escape. Now replenishing ammunition, moving to the next target. ”

Agent Carter, dressed in military uniform, sent over an update piece of information.

"I see." Phillips's brows relaxed slightly, and the tired look on his face still lingered. He looked around, and with the exception of Agent Carter, the rest of the Dire Brigade had basically been transferred to the battlefield.

Facts have proved that Zhang Yang's guess is correct, and the reason why the US military expanded the Dire Brigade not long ago. Indeed, it was also intended to come in handy during the Normandy landings.

The team of 500 men excluded Steve, Bucky, two supernumeraries, and members of Carter's small logistics team. The rest were thrown into various battles. Even Zhang Yang, the commander, stepped on the battlefield in person, and the other five squadron leaders each led a team and lurked behind enemy lines.

The flamboyance of the moment. With Perez, he led the men of the first squadron. Operating in France, the entire squadron was divided into parts, inquiring about the latest German news from various channels, as well as obtaining valuable first-hand information, and then transmitting it to the Allies through various means to assist in the conduct of the campaign.

Although the Dire Brigade was not part of the main force in this important battle, they were responsible for the more difficult intelligence and reconnaissance work. Sabotage work behind enemy lines, and at the same time due to the peculiarities and pertinence of the Dire brigade. It was also responsible for the dangerous work of sneak attacks and destruction of important military bases and strongholds of the German army.

This task is not easy, at the moment the German army is already in full swing, and if it were not for the emergency training of the Dire brigade, it may not be possible to master these skills in a short time. Compared to ordinary Allied soldiers, the people of the Dire Brigade are undoubtedly better suited to these tasks.

Both sides have their own strengths and duties, and the team of 500 people is thrown into the European battlefield, and neither of them can make a splash, not to mention that the German army also has the Hydra, which is known for its elite, and its number far exceeds that of the Dire brigade. But since the order has been given from above, Zhang Yang and the Dire Brigade can only resolutely carry it out until the end of this campaign.

Phillips was also helpless, so he agreed to send Zhang Yang into the battlefield, originally he planned to let Zhang Yang stay in the command, but under an order from the army, even Captain America, who was regarded as the pearl of the palm by Congress, Steve Rogers, could only reluctantly agree.

Similar to Zhang Yang and the Dire Brigade, Steve led his newly formed Roaring Commando Team and joined the battlefield. While most of the attention was focused on Normandy, he launched a series of raids after targeting several of the Red Skull's secret base locations that he had mastered during his last operation. With the support of Phillips and other ground forces, progress has been relatively smooth, and three entire secret bases have been destroyed during this time, and the losses of Hydra can be described as not light.

After all, Steve's purpose is more singular, and with the other party's address in hand, the resistance encountered in a series of actions is not great. And as a result of this, Steve's reputation as "Captain America" is getting higher and higher, which is also the main purpose of Congress in agreeing to let Steve join the battlefield, that is, to desperately help Steve brush up his reputation.

In the past, there was no evidence, and what people knew about Steve was a story carefully made up by Congress, and even more so, a lot of gossip began to circulate, and a series of film documentaries shot by "Captain America" before were all fictionalized in the studio. And in order to contain the negative impact before it spreads, Congress has come up with such an approach.

Didn't you say that documentaries are all fiction, well, I'll make a few real films for you to see.

Steve's Roaring Commando, to put it bluntly, is more like a "winning division" specially used for performances, coupled with Phillips's intentional or unintentional care, this team is becoming more and more familiar to the American people, and it is very popular in China. Anyone can see that a series of episodes in it definitely took place on the battlefield, and the rumors of the previous period were suddenly swept away, and even with the generosity of many people, the bonds issued by the US government set off a new sales boom.

A lot of wealth has been turned into real money, so that the people in Congress have been happy to close their mouths, and they also feel more pleasing to Steve. With money in hand, there can be more plans to carry out, war consumption, government daily expenses, and all kinds of places waiting for money have gone to the sea.

Fundamentally different from Steve, the Dire Brigade is destined to be a shadow force standing behind the scenes, fighting in obscurity behind people's backs when Roaring Commandos land on screens in major cities across the United States. Despite the far difference in importance between the Roaring Commandos and the Dire Brigade, the reputation of the Roaring Commandos is even better due to the strong propaganda of the U.S. government.

However, Zhang Yang didn't care about these false things, he formed the Dire for the purpose of increasing his capital. Even if it is to be exposed in public, it is definitely not this critical moment. In addition, with Steve in front to attract the enemy's attention and confuse the sense of hearing, the pressure on the shoulders of the Dire Brigade was much lighter for a while.

While Steve was leading a group of Roaring Commando soldiers to step on the head of the Red Skull to scrape his reputation, Zhang Yang and the Dire Brigade, scattered across most of the European battlefields, were also silently acting behind the scenes. Due to the indirect feud between Baron Straker and Zhang Yang, the Dire Brigade aimed the primary target of attack and retaliation at Straker's troops, and during this period of time, Straker's losses were no less than those of the Red Skull, and the two of them could be described as half a catty against eight taels.

The Roaring Commandos only had seven people, but the Dire Brigade had five hundred, and with the disparity in individual soldiers, even though the Dire Brigade was still tasked with assisting the large army in frontal combat on the Normandy battlefield, it still had the strength to launch a series of attacks against Hydra.

Those who have never experienced war can never imagine the tragedy of war. Familiar figures are likely to turn into corpses in the blink of an eye.

In this landing campaign, which lasted more than two months, the Allied and German armies invested a total of more than 4 million troops, which lasted for a long time, and finally ended in the victory of the Allies, changing the tide of World War II.

It was not easy to operate under the nose of the enemy, not to mention that Zhang Yang was still a black-haired and black-eyed yellow man, who was a bit dazzling in Europe, which was dominated by whites, and was interrogated by the German army along the way. Fortunately, there were other Dire brigades such as Perez to respond, and apart from two accidental firefights, there was no other chaos.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was ambushing in a city in France, which was an Allied intelligence transit office, and after handing over the harvest of the past two days to the Allied intelligence officers, Zhang Yang left here again in a low-key manner.

In a private house, Perez and several other veteran team members were waiting for Zhang Yang. After the last time they sniped out German Major General Lucas in Paris, the defense of Paris became tighter, so they did not choose Paris on this trip. Coupled with other methods of communication, they are still up-to-date on the situation in Paris.

What relieved Zhang Yang was that there was no problem with the three major estates he acquired last time, and the Germans probably regarded the sniper operation as a premeditated plan of the Allies.

The little girl who was adopted by Zhang Yang did not enter the sight of the German army. The matter of the fat nun Serena was not enough for them to pay attention to, and at this moment the little girl was beginning to learn all kinds of knowledge that should be exposed to at this age with the help of the priest, and Zhang Yang intended to train her to be an agent of herself, who could help her accomplish certain things after she left here.
