Klausburg's secret base was heavily guarded, with two weapon manufacturing factories on each side and a garrison of six hundred soldiers.
With its sturdy fortress and powerful firepower, it could isolate all external enemies.
If the Allies wanted to break through from the front, they would likely suffer more than triple the casualties.
The best method would be to deploy the air force for high-intensity carpet bombing.
Using the brutal tactic of firepower coverage to completely destroy this Hydra base hidden deep in the mountains and forests!
Otherwise, those giant tanks like steel monsters and enhanced warriors with greatly reduced pain sensitivity and boundless stamina, who knew how many Allied lives they could devour.
This was also why Allied Command was unwilling to dispatch troops for a rescue mission.
A rash deployment would be meaningless, besides costing more lives!
"Luke, how can we sneak into this base without anyone else noticing?"
Rogers asked, hiding behind the bushes.
The defense of this secret Hydra base was too tight.
The guard posts were like steel sentinels standing in the night, with patrols of Nazi soldiers coming and going every five minutes, and conspicuous searchlights sweeping everywhere.
Rogers, holding a shield, had a headache. He finally understood how ridiculously difficult a task it was to raid a secret Hydra base with just two people!
"I have a bold idea."
Luke pondered for a moment and said seriously, "How about I rush out and take them all down? That way, no one will discover our presence! A complete infiltration mission can then be accomplished!"
"..."
Rogers choked, almost suffocating.
After coughing a few times in a low voice, he recovered.
He couldn't tell if Luke was joking or if he genuinely intended to do it.
Even after receiving the serum injection and becoming a Super Soldier.
On the battlefield, he could fight a hundred enemies.
But facing Hydra's intense artillery fire, lone-wolf heroism wouldn't work; a meticulous plan was necessary!
Rogers racked his brain, thinking of a way to complete the mission of rescuing the captured soldiers while avoiding Hydra's detection.
"Luke, I think..."
Before Captain America could devise a plan, Luke dashed out of the bushes.
The strong airflow blew away the fallen leaves on the ground!
In a few breaths, he disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
At the same time, a military truck transporting supplies drove slowly along the muddy road next to the bushes.
The headlights of the truck cut through the thick fog like two sharp swords.
The base gate slowly opened, creating a passage.
Thump!
A blur shot out in a swift straight line, crashing into the slow-moving military truck!
The terrifying impact, like a pent-up solid cannonball, slammed into the truck's body.
The sturdy, thick truck, as if repeatedly struck by a swung hammer, suddenly caved in.
With a "boom," unable to withstand the sudden, terrible impact, the military truck overturned and became deeply embedded in the muddy road.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The tremendous noise woke the secret base from its calm.
The guards at the entrance reacted first, their hands gripping metal-cased energy firearms as they ran towards the sound.
The base behind them also sounded the alarm, its sharp siren echoing in the night sky.
"This..."
Rogers stared at the overturned military truck, the obvious indentation on its body, and then at the unharmed Luke, speechless for a moment.
Super Soldiers... are this strong?
Rogers lowered his head, extended his hands, and clenched them into fists.
Unfortunately, he didn't feel a terrifying power within him capable of flipping a military truck.
They were supposedly the same Super Soldiers!
Why could Luke do it?
Rogers, who had always maintained his confidence and fighting spirit, couldn't help but wonder if Dr. Erskine had given Luke a slightly larger dose of the serum when they were injected.
"You go to the prison where the captured soldiers are held, see if you can find Bucky! I'll attract Hydra's attention!"
Luke said, outlining the plan, while forcefully lifting the overturned military truck.
After switching to the "Magic Superman" template, he felt that the power within him seemed to have increased again.
Not only was the efficiency of absorbing stellar energy increased, but all aspects of his physical fitness were also strengthened.
The muscles bulging in his hands were twisted together like repeatedly entwined steel wires, highlighting prominent lines full of power.
His army uniform was stretched taut, emitting a mournful sound as if it were about to be torn apart.
As for the military boots on his feet, they had already cracked open during the sprint.
[Skin Coverage]
Seeing his uniform about to burst open and him about to fall into the embarrassing situation of being indecently exposed, Luke quickly covered himself with the skin he had put away earlier.
Protected by the Kryptonian Battle Suit, no matter how intense the battle, he wouldn't end up like that certain green behemoth, who always had nothing left but barely-covering shorts.
"The enemy is here... Run!"
Not long after, guards wearing Hydra armbands quickly arrived.
On the muddy road, only one figure stood tall.
That tall man in the steel armor was lifting the overturned military truck as if he were performing a deadlift!
This shocking scene, which defied human comprehension, instantly rendered the guards carrying energy firearms incapable of thought.
It turned out that even the Hydra soldiers, brainwashed by fanatical ideology, still possessed the same survival instinct as ordinary people.
Upon seeing the intruder display inhuman strength, several guards shouting "Hail Hydra" turned tail and fled, not looking back.
"Allied Superman! Notify the leader! Superman is here!"
An urgent shout echoed back to the base.
Someone recognized Luke's young face as the Superman who had been frequently appearing in newspapers and on the radio these days!
"Super Aim deployed!"
Luke narrowed his eyes, his precise gaze locating the giant tank placed at the base entrance.
With his arms slightly bent and legs sinking, he hurled the multi-ton military truck as if throwing a shot put!
The Hydra guards, swarming out in groups, watched the military truck whistling through the air with shocked, disbelieving eyes.
BOOM!
A deafening roar shook the entire base!
The giant tank was crushed flat by the military truck, completely wrecked!
The driver inside, before he could even adjust the cannon, was crushed into a pulp of meat.
The explosion's fire illuminated the night sky!
The base interior erupted!
Seizing the opportunity, Rogers quickly changed into the black uniform of a fallen Hydra guard and put on a helmet to conceal his face, blending into the base.
"Those Hydra soldiers... they're so unlucky to have run into Luke."
Rogers no longer doubted his friend's strength, and he finally understood the true story behind the Allied propaganda's "Conqueror of Italy" and "Sacker of Rome."
No wonder whenever he asked the Howling Commandos how they infiltrated Sicily and raided Venice Palace, those guys always dodged the question.
Now it seemed the whole process was likely Luke steamrolling through everything while everyone else just watched and cheered.
"The munitions factory... the prison is in the back!"
Rogers, disguised as a Hydra soldier, successfully entered the munitions factory.
The guards carrying energy firearms, stimulated by the alarm, all rushed outside.
"What is this?"
Along the way, Rogers saw large missile heads.
Quite a few soldiers were responsible for embedding the energy blocks emitting a brilliant blue light into them.
With the idea of collecting intelligence, he pocketed a block and then headed towards the prison where captured soldiers were being held.
Meanwhile, Red Skull, who was in the command center, heard the alarm and quickly accessed the surveillance to check the situation.
Through the intense flames, he saw a tall figure tearing through the fiery waves, his dark red cape fluttering in the wind.
Those sharp eyes seemed to pierce through all obstacles, looking at Red Skull through the surveillance camera.
