Chapter 117: Song Kai
"Well, how can I reward them?"
The 107th Infantry Brigade in northern Italy, where the 107th Infantry Brigade was stationed, was wearing a brigadier general's uniform and smiling at the moment, and even a stupid person could tell that he was in a good mood.
According to the telegram received last night, the Dire Brigade responsible for attacking the Hydra base under Straker's command can be said to have overfulfilled its mission, and according to the follow-up telegram sent by the 26th Infantry Division, the Allies also captured more than 100 Hydra soldiers in last night's operation, which can be said to be a complete victory.
Zhang Yang and the Dire Brigade were so competitive, and Phillips was also happy to see it, and he couldn't stop laughing all night. On the other hand, the "Art Troupe Chick - Captain America", who was originally identified by him as a rescue failure, actually returned with a big victory, and his record was not worse than that of his publicity. Not only did he succeed in rescuing his good friend Bucky, but he also destroyed a Hydra manufacturing base, and at the same time rescued more than 400 Allied prisoners!
I'm in the gods.
If Phillips had understood this, he would have been very happy to recite a few words to describe his mood at the moment, and the depression caused by the termination of the Super Soldier program due to Erskine's death was completely swept away. And Steve, who was originally useless in his eyes, has also changed his image at this moment, and has become a capable man in the eyes of Phillips.
With Steve on his left, flamboyant and Dire on his right, Phillips only felt that it was the most comfortable few days he had in decades, even when he was awarded the title of brigadier.
The other soldiers in the camp looked at the overjoyed Colonel Phillips and sighed helplessly. Phillips has been like this since the middle of last night, and at the same time there is extreme envy in his heart, the two protagonists of this operation, Zhang Yang and Steve. They all seem to be from the Dire Brigade. Could it be that this Dire Brigade is really as magical as the legend, and after joining, you can be promoted to a knighthood?
On the other side, Agent Carter and the other sixteen Dire members who had been left behind at the base were also relieved, and everyone cheered after learning that both sides had returned victorious.
No doubt. This is the glory that belongs to the Dire brigade!
Zhang Yang is the supreme commander and captain of the Dire Brigade, and Steve is the first member of the Dire team and is currently a member of the external team. No matter who the two of them are, the accumulated credit of the Dire Brigade can be stained with some light.
Half an hour later, Steve, dressed in an Allied outfit with the Star-Spangled Banner tights exposed, led a large team. Mighty triumphant. Since it was more than a hundred kilometers from the Hydra base, the 12th Infantry Division, which was fighting on the front line, sent more than twenty trucks to transport these Allied soldiers back to Phillips' camp together.
According to some unspoken rules, the rescued Allied troops can stay in the rescued troops except for those who are willing to return to their original troop formations, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity to expand and absorb troops for the troops that have been reduced on the battlefield.
It would have been before that. The 107th Infantry Regiment was expanded into the 107th Infantry Brigade, except for the two armored battalions to which the assigned battalions had not yet been put in place. The personnel of the unit are actually only the strength of one regiment, about six hundred, and after absorbing this batch of prisoners, plus two infantry battalions, the number can directly break through the 1,000 mark.
Due to the different establishments, such as infantry divisions, airborne divisions, marine divisions, etc., the number of personnel in each regiment is different, the minimum is a few hundred, and the maximum is a thousand, for example, the number of marine infantry regiments under a marine division with the largest number at this moment has as many as 1,200 people. Almost as long as the 107 Infantry Brigade in front of you.
Among the more than 400 prisoners, Phillips's expectation was to leave half of the troops, after all, it was impossible for all soldiers to be willing to stay, and there were not a few who hoped to return to the original formation of the troops, and the two armored battalions allocated by the army were each about 250 people, and the full strength was 300 people, adding up to 500 people.
The reason why he was able to grab these two infantry battalions was because Phillips tried his best to fight for them, otherwise he would probably only be assigned ordinary infantry or light infantry, and Phillips was a guy who liked tank artillery, so he had his current move. And perhaps because the Dire was "formed" by Phillips, the upper echelons of the army agreed to Phillips' request after considering it and transferred the armored battalion here.
If not, how could these two armored battalions be willingly assigned to his name?
This more than 1,000 people is only the basic number, don't forget that there is also the flamboyant Dire Brigade, or the Dire Infantry Regiment, which is also under the jurisdiction of Phillips, after the expansion, the Dire Brigade alone has a strength of several hundred, according to this rhythm, it will not take a year or two for Phillips's 107 Infantry Brigade to become an infantry division.
A series of good news kept coming, which directly made Phillips, a cold-faced old fox, also smile, and with Steve's return, there was also a batch of special blue weapons (Rubik's Cube weapons) seized from Hydra, ranging from heavy tanks to rifle pistols, the capture of this batch of special weapons made Phillips also overjoyed, and directly waved his hand and divided it into the name of Howard Stark, who also stayed in the barracks.
Howard Stark and Phillips are also old friends, and Howard's professionalism is deeply trusted by Phillips, and the other party is one of the main arms suppliers of the army, if this batch of new weapons of Hydra can be solved by Howard, it will also be a big help for the United States.
And this return directly made Steve's title "Captain America" completely worthy of the name, and no one dared to laugh at Steve anymore. Hodge, who had always looked down on Steve, was hit hard after this incident, and he never had the idea of competing with Steve again.
Thinking that a few months ago, he and Steve, like Steve, were under the personal guidance of Zhang Yang, who was in the limelight, but Steve went farther and farther, but he was defeated, and the huge gap between the two made Hodge see the reality again, and he was indeed not Steve's opponent.
Well, dare to compare with the protagonist Steve, it is definitely the rhythm of hitting the dead every minute. What's more, Hodge, who is not even a male No. 4, was hit with no skin.
After Steve's shocking debut, the truck carrying Zhang Yang and others, who had returned from the airport, also returned to the base, and the base once again fell into a warm and jubilant atmosphere. (To be continued......)
