The source of the news is true, this is Zhang Yang before leaving Phillips told him, the notice from the army has just come down, which is why Phillips came to Zhang Yang to inquire about the formation of the foot.

It's just that because it takes a long time to form, there will be a period of time for the official order to come down, and it is expected that in a week, and Phillips has finally survived the position of general after most of his life, so he is naturally very excited.

It's just that there is a new order coming down together, the 107th Infantry Regiment will be transferred to the Italian battlefield tomorrow, responsible for replenishing the front-line troops, and Zhang Yang and the Nightkin will also set off together, after the selection process is finalized, the selection will be carried out in the two American infantry divisions in Italy, and the first batch of members of the Nightkin will also participate in the training of these additional team members.

Conducting actual combat training on the battlefield is definitely the best way to hone your soldiers.

Zhang Yang did not have the right to refuse, after returning from the headquarters, he began to pack up his things, some of the confidential information that could not be taken away with him was not too important, and it was directly destroyed on the spot, and the important documents were kept as backups and handed over to Phillips, and they were placed in the archives of the headquarters together.

There are not many things to say, Zhang Yang just put away the Wen Jiàn about the expansion of the Night Stalker that he sorted out, and took it with him, and the others were directly burned down, and there was a stove near the headquarters that was specially used to destroy Wen Jiàn.

As for the expansion of the Nightkin, the army instructed to change the name of the new unit, and finally determined that the new unit number was "Dire", hoping that this newly formed special forces unit could become the Dire of the German army's dream. Intimidate each other. If it weren't for this explanation, Zhang Yang would almost think that the guy with this name had played Warcraft, otherwise how would he know about the bone dragon Nightmare in Karazan?

And the Nightkin came to an abrupt end. Changed to the new codename "Dire", the name sounds rather mysterious, and Zhang Yang doesn't have much objection.

After packing up his papers, Zhang Yang asked people to inform the Nightkin that, oh no, the rest of the Dire Brigade, they were going to Italy tomorrow. The entire 107 Infantry Regiment began to get busy, and it took time to count and sort out all kinds of accompanying materials.

Due to the fact that the English Channel was densely packed with submarines of the Allies and the Germans. It was not safe to take the waterway unless it was to go south and detour the Mediterranean, which would take a lot of time and finally it was decided that the troops would be broken up. Traveled to Italy in several batches on transport planes carrying supplies.

The Allied bombing campaign against Germany for a long time achieved a huge advantage. Air supremacy in the European theater had gradually fallen into the hands of the Allies, so the transport planes were not blocked too fiercely on the way, and occasionally some German planes trying to try their luck appeared, and they were immediately driven away by the Allied fighters accompanying the escort.

The C47A air train transport aircraft developed by Douglas in the United States is modified from the DC-3 model, each of which is enough to carry 32 people, and is the main military transport aircraft of the US military, with more than 10,000 units produced. And Zhang Yang is flying on this plane at the moment. A total of 10 transport aircraft took off at the same time, escorted by thirty P51 Mustangs. Fly directly from the UK to Italy.

The range of more than 1,000 kilometers was not a problem for the two aircraft, and after being resupplied in the rear of the Allied-occupied Italian area, the planes would continue to travel back and forth between Britain and Italy, transporting the remainder with war materiel.

Due to the small number of Dire brigades, all of them arrived in Italy in the first batch, in addition to Zhang Yang, accompanied by Phillips and part of the 107th Infantry Regiment, the first to arrive needed to set up tents and other living facilities in a strategic location. The troops previously stationed here had advanced more than a hundred kilometers to the front and were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Germans.

The camp was half an hour's drive from the airport, and dark green covered trucks kept going back and forth between the camp and the airport until the afternoon began to darken, and half of the 107th Infantry Regiment had arrived at the camp, and the rest would arrive the next day.

Out of the habit of training, the rest of the Dire Brigade habitually conducted a simple reconnaissance of the area around the camp within a radius of several kilometers, and compared it with the topographic maps provided by the receivers left behind by the Allies, and soon got a general grasp of the surrounding situation. With such preparations, after encountering a sudden attack, you will not be blinded and you will not even know where to run.

In the next few days, the 107th Infantry Regiment had no combat mission, mainly preparing to support the vanguard, and the other two infantry divisions were also moving towards the other two camps near the garrison point, and the three forces formed a triangle to form a situation that looked after each other, and in the event of an attack on one side, the other two sides could rush over to support as quickly as possible.

During this time, the Dire Brigade had moved the base to the front of more than a hundred kilometers of the battle line, and at the same time, the transfer of troops of the 107th Infantry Regiment had been completed, and everyone had reached the Italian camp. According to the location on the map, Zhang Yang is located directly north of the northern Italian city of Bolzano, and in addition to the other two infantry divisions, there is also a British armored division position in the west, carrying artillery, tanks and other heavy weapons to support the infantry division.

Unlike when the tank first appeared, the tank and infantry at that time were completely taking care of each other, rushing forward with their heads on the battlefield, and there was no concept of infantry and tan coordination at all, until after suffering several losses, someone summed up the concept of infantry and tank coordination, which avoided the recurrence of this tragedy, and the cooperation between armored divisions and infantry divisions was also increasing.

After the expansion of the 107th Infantry Regiment, it is actually equivalent to an armored infantry brigade, because there are two armored battalions joined, of course, there are still other camps in Italy to rest, and they will come here to make peace in the later period, and the official order for the expansion of the 107th Infantry Regiment into an armored infantry brigade has been issued, and Phillips has replaced a small golden bean on his shoulder at this moment, which is really the envy of many people.

The most unexpected thing was the Dire Brigade, and when they learned that this team, which was originally 41 people and is now 35 people (the disabled are cultivating in the rear, but are still in the combat establishment), is going to be expanded into a regimental establishment of hundreds of people, all the friends were stunned.

Zhang Yang has just been promoted to lieutenant colonel not long ago, and the Dire Brigade has not yet been officially expanded, so he has no intention of continuing to be promoted, at least he has to make great contributions on the battlefield, not to mention that he is only a lieutenant colonel now, and there are already many people talking about it behind his back, but after being heard by the people of the Dire Brigade, they privately cleaned up the other party, and the discussion was much quieter.

At present, there are two freaks like Zhang Yang and Perez in this team, one is Chinese, the other is the heir of a big family, but two guys who are unlikely to appear in the army have also appeared, and they are both lieutenant colonels.......

Zhang Yang is angry, a paper man, a woman who loves women, and has a normal personality and does not stir the base!

Ben Frank, who looked stupid and stupid, muttered in his heart: Yaya, a group of dead guys, dare to pinch Zhang Yang and Perez together to play CP, be careful of being pinched to death by them!

Fortunately, this rumor is only in the circle of soldiers, and the scope of transmission is not large, which is no way, who makes hundreds of thousands of troops full of big men, not to mention women for a year and a half, even a mother can't see it, no wonder many straight men have been bent like this......

If not, why would Agent Carter, who is a beauty herself, have such a high level of popularity in the base?

The flamboyant creed of life is: Brother does not despise shì stirring the base, but brother does not stir the base!

After a few days of preparation, the flamboyant guest, who is also an old friend and is now one of America's hottest entertainment stars, Captain Steve. Rogers, after a three-day show of condolences in London, flew to Italy to cheer up the 107th Infantry Regiment.

It's just that Steve came obviously at an inopportune time, it had already rained the day before he arrived in Italy, and for two whole days, the ground had become muddy because of the rain, but fortunately before the previous troops stationed here left, this place had been hardened, and many of the places used for accommodation were made of concrete, and thick mats were laid on them, and only a strong and durable marching tent was needed, and a dozen people huddled together to make a large bunk, and they could fall asleep.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the treatment of officers such as Zhang Yang and Phillips can only be said to be so good, at least one person sleeps in a tent, an oil lamp, a small wooden table, a quilt, and a simple bedroom.

Of course, such conditions can not be compared with when in London, in London are all standard camps, the classic combination of small buildings and high beds has already appeared, and compared to in London, bathing and toileting here is also a problem, and every day when you sleep, you have to ask the smell of stinky feet to sleep. If you want to go to the toilet, you have already dug a large pit in advance, covered it with strong wooden planks, and built a simple wall around it, which is a simple toilet.

If you don't like it, just find a big tree and grass and solve it on the spot, of course, the consequence of doing so is to be careful of the "stinky bomb" that may appear under your feet at any time......

It is said that people are unlucky, and they will step on dog shit when they go out, and even if you are not unlucky here, there is a great possibility of stepping on shit when you step down. As for whether it's a dog or a human, that's fine...... (To be continued......)
