At this time, the Nazis held an absolute advantage on the European battlefield.
Most of the European continent was under Hitler's control, and the Allied forces were unable to break through the Nazi defense lines. The appearance of Hydra troops further delayed the Allied advance, causing significant casualties.
Although Chen Mo did not equip his troops with energy weapons, they still had Hydra's original mechanized units.
With heavy armored weapons like giant tanks and armored vehicles that surpassed the current Allied technology, and the elite Hydra soldiers who were steadfast in their beliefs and fearless in battle, they maintained absolute dominance over the Allies in localized battles.
Fortunately, the number of formidable Hydra troops was limited. Each base controlled by Hitler had fewer than 500 troops, which couldn't change the overall situation.
However, the elite Hydra troops still impacted local warfare, causing heavy casualties to the Allied forces whenever they encountered them.
After Chen Mo led his team, the situation changed again.
In the movie, Steve led the Howling Commandos to easily eliminate Hydra bases, relying mainly on Steve's immense strength.
With Chen Mo's strength far surpassing Steve's, the bases he abandoned were even more vulnerable and could be easily destroyed.
In his first real battle, Chen Mo felt his blood boiling. He thoroughly enjoyed the entire combat process, able to unleash his full strength without any restraints for the first time, feeling exhilarated in battle.
Every bullet that hit the shield made his heart race, bringing immense excitement and thrill.
In the intense battles, Chen Mo's spirit was constantly tempered, and his entire demeanor underwent a significant change.
With continuous killing, Chen Mo's killing intent grew stronger, his gaze sharper, and his expression colder. However, he did not lose himself in the killing. In battle, his mind remained exceptionally calm, and with each kill, his heart became more serene and clear.
Through the battlefield's tempering, Chen Mo's mental strength began to grow again.
It is true that troubled times produce heroes.
Only on the battlefield can the mind be best tempered, and mental strength continuously improved.
In peaceful times, special abilities are hard to awaken. Even if someone like Chen Mo awakens abilities by chance, it is difficult to make significant progress, as only life-and-death battles are the best way to enhance abilities.
Chen Mo's desire for combat grew stronger. Whenever he discovered traces of Hydra troops, he would immediately lead his team to eliminate each Hydra camp and stronghold one by one.
In these battles, Chen Mo's combat experience continuously accumulated. His fighting techniques were refined through combat, becoming more swift and violent, with astonishing destructive power.
However, Chen Mo did not blindly engage in direct combat. He preferred to first carry out stealth attacks, assassinations, and sabotage to eliminate threats before engaging in frontal combat. Unless necessary, he would not easily launch a direct frontal assault.
For him, aside from personal preference, the method of attack didn't matter much. A frontal assault was just a bit more troublesome. With the shield in hand, he was not afraid of enemy gunfire.
But his special forces soldiers, although elite, were still ordinary people. Direct assaults could easily cause casualties, so Chen Mo usually broke through enemy defenses alone before letting the special forces move in to support.
…
Several months passed quickly in battle, and it was now October 1943. Chen Mo had been in this world for almost two years.
In a dense forest with towering trees, a large, heavily guarded base was hidden.
Tall, solid walls protected the entire base, and the heavily guarded gate was the only entrance.
Suddenly, a tall and agile figure rushed out of the forest.
Chen Mo, dressed in all-black combat gear, with a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, launched an attack on the Hydra base.
His gun fired continuously, and the unprepared Hydra soldiers at the gate fell one by one with each shot, each bullet hitting its mark.
The other Hydra soldiers noticed Chen Mo's sudden appearance and immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Raising his shield to block the incoming bullets, Chen Mo holstered his pistol, took a grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, and threw it into the group of Hydra soldiers a hundred meters away.
"Boom!"
With a violent explosion, a large area at the gate was cleared, and the incoming bullets momentarily ceased.
Howard hadn't exaggerated; the high-explosive grenades he provided were indeed powerful.
Taking advantage of the pause in enemy fire, Chen Mo put down his shield and sprinted at full speed. Covering over a hundred meters in just a few seconds, he charged through the base gate.
The nearby Hydra soldiers had just gathered when Chen Mo was already upon them. Before they could fire, Chen Mo, holding the shield with both hands, crashed into the crowd.
Chen Mo charged forward like a battle tank, knocking all the Hydra soldiers in his path into the air. They were thrown up, their chests caved in, and their internal organs ruptured, dead before they even hit the ground.
In previous battles, Chen Mo preferred to sneak in for assassinations and sabotage, causing the Hydra soldiers to be on high alert day and night. This time, Chen Mo had no choice but to abandon stealth and opt for a frontal assault.
However, in the face of absolute power, even the strongest defenses could be easily torn apart.
Taking advantage of the pause in enemy fire caused by the explosion, Chen Mo rushed into the group of soldiers. Instead of using his pistol, he reached behind him and drew the long sword he had obtained from the church in Norway, the Sword of Kings.
With a sweep of his shield, Chen Mo sent several soldiers flying. His eyes flashed coldly as he swung his sword, the silver blade cutting a long arc and slicing several Hydra soldiers, along with their guns, in half.
The cold gleam of the sword danced around, and the spraying blood splattered in the air, highlighting Chen Mo's cold and murderous expression, striking fear into those who saw him.
The already incredibly sharp Sword of Kings, combined with Chen Mo's immense strength, was unstoppable, cutting through everything in its path with ease. Nothing could withstand a strike from Chen Mo.
Most of the bullets fired by the Hydra soldiers were blocked by Chen Mo's shield. Even when he was hit due to the overwhelming firepower, it didn't harm him at all.
The bullets bounced off Chen Mo, leaving only small holes in his clothes, revealing a hint of silver underneath.
Although bulletproof vest technology wasn't advanced at the time, bulletproof steel plates existed. These special bulletproof steel plates, originally used in armored vehicles and helicopters, were made into a full set of bulletproof armor worn under Chen Mo's combat suit. The nearly full-body coverage of bulletproof steel plates was quite heavy, but with Chen Mo's immense strength and endurance, the weight didn't affect his combat performance.
Chen Mo only needed to use his shield to block bullets aimed at his head and more powerful attacks like those from anti-aircraft guns.
In fact, with Chen Mo's current reflexes and agility, he could dodge bullets. However, the battlefield's intense firepower made dodging too time-consuming, so during frontal assaults, Chen Mo relied on his shield and bulletproof armor to withstand the attacks. With his body's strength, the impact of the bullets didn't even cause him pain and didn't affect his actions at all.
Immersed in battle, Chen Mo's face was cold and ruthless. Each swing of his sword brought a spray of blood and took several lives, quickly clearing the Hydra soldiers around him. Severed limbs and broken weapons littered the ground, and the spilled blood stained the entire area around him.
Suddenly, Chen Mo turned his head sharply, his sharp gaze sweeping forward.
