The smoke was thick and the battle was fierce. Especially after Hydra was completely annihilated, it lost its crushing absolute pressure. The British and American coalition forces carried out several large-scale counterattacks. In addition, the Italian rear battlefield and the Soviet Eastern Front gave
Under pressure, the German army had to enter a full-line defense state.
Faced with the heavily guarded German defense, Britain, the United States and other Allied powers finally formulated a plan for the Normandy landings during the quarrel, but postponed it until June.
107th Infantry Regiment camp.
After Gary rested in New York for ten days, he flew to London and then came to the front-line military camp.
"Gary!" Fury, who received the news, had already been waiting at the entrance of the camp. When he saw Gary in the military vehicle, Fury laughed and greeted him.
"Fury."
After getting out of the car, Gary and Fury gave each other a big hug.
"Damn it, I knew God wouldn't accept you!" Fury said excitedly.
Gary smiled and joked: "I've always been lucky."
After the hug, Fury noticed the badge on Gary's chest. His eyes widened, "Oh, my god, did I read that right? You are...promoted to major?!"
"Yes, Colonel Phillips helped me apply." Gary nodded.
"You kid, when you first joined the army, your rank was lower than mine, and now you have become my commander in the blink of an eye!" Fury punched Gary and said enviously.
Gary shrugged and glanced at Fury's badge, "You were promoted to lieutenant too, weren't you?"
"I was promoted normally, unlike you, the speed of promotion is as abnormal as your body!" Fury said speechlessly.
Gary laughed and asked: "Did you fall behind in your exercise these days when I was away?"
"There is no time to exercise on the battlefield, but whenever I have time, I go to Zhamabu. Now I can hold on for half an hour!" Fury shook his head.
"Half an hour? Not bad, not bad." Gary extended his thumbs up and praised.
When the two came to the military camp side by side, Gary asked: "Where are the others?"
Fury understood that Gary was referring to the members of the Roaring Team. He sighed and said: "After annihilating Hydra, the other members of the Roaring Team returned to their countries, and some were assigned to other units and could no longer fight together.
."
"No matter where we are, our goal is the same." Gary patted Fury on the shoulder.
"Well, it's a pity that those weapons can't be used because of the instability of the energy block. Otherwise, let these damn Germans see the weapons they made!"
While the two were talking, a middle-aged officer came over.
"Gary, long time no see."
"Sir Bright!" Gary and Fury immediately saluted with a military salute.
Lieutenant Colonel Brad waved his hand, "Gary, you are now a major. I am just one level higher than you."
"Haha, when I sent you to work under Phillips, I knew you would stand out, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." Lieutenant Colonel Brad said, then stretched out his hand and said seriously: "Let's get to know each other again.
,Brett Joseph.”
"John Gary!"
The two shook hands.
"Gary, I'm looking forward to fighting with you!" Brad said with a smile.
"Me too."
…
Because of the barrier between the Alps and the neutral country of Switzerland, the Italian battlefield could not break through into the German rear. Therefore, a large number of British and American troops began to move to the British front line in preparation for the Normandy landing in early June to open a second battlefield.
However, the 107th Infantry Regiment lost a lot of soldiers in the battle to annihilate the Hydra organization, so in the nearly one month since Gary came here, except for the continuous recruitment and reorganization of soldiers, there was basically no fighting.
Bang!
As a tree fell, Gary withdrew his fist.
"Gary, you've become stronger again!" Fury exclaimed.
"It's just a little stronger." Gary shrugged. In the past three or four months, relying on the Five Hearts to Heaven cultivation method, his physical strength has been improving. Perhaps it was due to his body's genes that his speed of improvement
It's not slow, I guess I'm at the level of an intermediate warrior now.
Fury punched the trees, but the trees only shook slightly, "Hey, Gary, when will I reach your level?"
"Don't worry, practice the basics first. That's what Chinese Kung Fu is. Everything is a grinding effort." Gary said slowly. In fact, he can also teach Fury the Five Hearts to the Sky, but in view of Fury's current big mouth,
He decided to let the latter calm down first.
In the evening, Bright brought orders from headquarters.
"Gary, Fury, the headquarters ordered our 107th Infantry Regiment to set off tomorrow and rush to the coast to board the army ship."
"Are you going to cross the sea on a warship? Damn it, I hate this kind of crossing the sea without any safety!" Fury said speechlessly.
Bright smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will be safe in this sea crossing battle."
On June 6 and June 7, 1944, under the cover of bombing by a large number of air forces, the British and American coalition forces successfully landed on the beach and established a stable landing site.
Ta-ta-ta.
Boom boom boom.
Under heavy artillery bombardment, although his personal strength was compressed to the limit, Gary still relied on his strong physical fitness and led the reorganized 107th Infantry Regiment to seize several enemy frontline positions in succession, and occupied the first position for the large army.
The bridgehead fortress made a huge contribution.
"Haha, Gary, the headquarters highly praised the combat capabilities of our 107th Infantry Regiment!" Lieutenant Colonel Bullard, the smile on his face has not diminished in the past few days. Their regiment showed great performance in this landing operation.
The brilliance makes other groups very envious.
The only regret is that Fury was injured in the eye by a shell fragment during an attack on the position, and is currently recovering in a temporary hospital at the rear.
On June 14, the U.S. military was attacked on the flank by a German armored division and was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
The headquarters temporarily dispatched the highly capable 107th Infantry Regiment for reinforcements.
In the afternoon of that day, Gary took the lead and rushed into the German armored division's position. After destroying more than a dozen tanks in a row, he led the 107th Regiment to successfully defeat the enemy armored division and pursue the victory to occupy the enemy's defense line.
"You fought well. You are worthy of being a hero who can defeat the leader of Hydra. This Gary is really outstanding!" Many general-level officers at the US military headquarters praised him.
"Chief of Staff, I suggest that the 107th Infantry Regiment be sent directly to the front line to take charge of the highest attack plan!"
"Will this put too much pressure on you?"
"The German army has not lost its resistance yet. We must advance quickly and quickly occupy fortresses with favorable terrain."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"Okay, that's the decision, but for putting so much pressure on them, do we have to give them some compensation?"
107th Infantry Regiment Headquarters.
Bright smiled broadly, "Gary, in view of your heroic performance and outstanding military exploits in this landing operation plan, the headquarters has specially awarded you the rank of lieutenant colonel."
With that said, Brett handed the badge to Gary.
"Thank you headquarters for your trust!" Gary gave a military salute with a solemn expression.
"Haha, thanks to you, I have been promoted to colonel."
