This was a narrow valley between two mountains, filled with rocks of various sizes, making it impossible for tanks and vehicles to pass through. The movement of personnel would also be greatly hindered.
No wonder they left such an obvious gap in their defensive line. As long as they blocked it with heavy artillery and machine guns from the mountains on both sides, a company of soldiers could hold this place firmly, preventing anyone from passing through.
And that's exactly what they did. Chen Mo could clearly see two heavy artillery pieces deployed on each mountain top, with their barrels pointing south towards the Allied forces, ready to provide fire support against any advancing infantry.
They never expected an attack from behind, from their own base.
Even so, they could easily block the road below with rifles and machine guns. As long as they held out under Chen Mo's limited tank firepower for a while, they could turn the artillery around and launch a devastating attack on the prisoners.
A direct assault would result in heavy casualties and might not even succeed in breaking through.
But for Chen Mo, who often infiltrated Hydra bases alone and took out all heavy firepower by himself, this was a simple task.
To avoid detection by the Germans, Chen Mo had the main force hide in the distance while he and Steve quietly approached.
They split up at the foot of the mountain, each heading towards a position on one of the mountain tops. The steep cliffs were like flat ground to them, and they quickly infiltrated the German camp from behind.
Their eyes met across the valley, and in the next moment, they both launched their attacks almost simultaneously!
Chen Mo drew the Sword of Kings from his back and swiftly charged towards the two heavy artillery pieces set up in the middle of the position.
The 150mm heavy artillery could destroy a tank with a single shell. Its immense power made it the bane of all armored vehicles. With these in place, no heavy mechanized force could approach within their range, and infantry alone couldn't break through the machine gun blockade on the mountainsides.
These artillery pieces were Chen Mo's primary targets and had to be neutralized first.
The soldiers in the position had no time to react. They only saw a shadow flash before their eyes, followed by a gust of wind, and Chen Mo was already in front of the artillery.
Some soldiers near the artillery noticed Chen Mo and immediately fired at him.
Chen Mo didn't stop, charging straight to the artillery. The 150mm heavy artillery, weighing over ten tons with an eight-meter-long barrel, pointed menacingly towards the sky.
Bullets hit Chen Mo, but he didn't flinch. He endured the attacks while swinging his sword, the cold blade slicing through the air and cutting cleanly through the thick barrel.
The heavy barrel broke off smoothly and fell to the ground.
Before the barrel hit the ground, Chen Mo had already moved to the second artillery piece, cutting through the barrel and half the base with his sword.
In an instant, Chen Mo had destroyed both artillery pieces. The broken barrels and bases fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The surrounding German soldiers were stunned, unable to believe that their powerful heavy artillery, a nightmare for the Allies, had been easily destroyed by a single sword.
The German soldiers were frozen in shock, but Chen Mo didn't stop. He turned and attacked the German position, destroying all visible heavy weapons, machine guns, and submachine guns before charging at the dozens of German soldiers surrounding him.
The dazzling sword light carried immense power, cutting through soldiers' bodies and heavy weapons alike. Blood, broken limbs, and weapon parts flew through the air, creating a scene of bloody carnage.
There were only about 170 soldiers stationed here, spread across the two mountain tops, so Chen Mo faced around 80 enemies.
In a short time, Chen Mo had killed nearly half of them, and the remaining soldiers quickly began to collapse.
The enemy was too terrifying, appearing silently among them, destroying two heavy artillery pieces in an instant, and killing dozens of them within minutes.
Chen Mo wore black armor they had never seen before, and bullets bounced off it, leaving only scratches on the surface, revealing the silver metal underneath. It was as if they were shooting at a heavy tank, not a person.
With the artillery destroyed, they had no means to deal with this powerful and fearsome enemy. Even if the artillery were intact and Chen Mo was within range, they couldn't be sure they could hit his incredibly fast-moving figure.
Bullets had no effect on Chen Mo, while their numbers continued to dwindle rapidly. Each swing of Chen Mo's sword took several lives.
Finally, the fear Chen Mo instilled overcame their loyalty to Hitler. Some soldiers began to flee, and more soon followed, abandoning their weapons and running away in panic.
However, some soldiers didn't choose to flee. Even though their rifles couldn't harm him, they continued to attack him fearlessly.
These soldiers were true warriors, but Chen Mo showed no mercy. On the battlefield, there was no room for compassion. Chen Mo moved swiftly, quickly eliminating the remaining dozen soldiers.
By this time, the fleeing German soldiers had left the camp, running desperately down the mountain towards the German-occupied area to the north.
Chen Mo didn't rush to pursue them because he saw the Allied soldiers charging up from below. One side was full of morale, with plenty of heavy weapons, while the other was fleeing in panic, many having already discarded their weapons. The outcome was clear.
Chen Mo turned his gaze to the opposite mountain top, where Steve's situation was similar. The few dozen German soldiers without heavy weapons were no match for Steve and had already been defeated.
The Allied prisoners charging up the mountain quickly eliminated the demoralized and disorganized German soldiers. The group reunited at the foot of the mountain, having dealt with the German defenders, but now faced a new challenge.
To return to the Allied camp, they had to pass through the narrow valley between the two mountains. While they could easily traverse the rocky terrain without enemy threats, their captured tanks and armored vehicles couldn't move through such terrain.
They had no choice but to abandon the heavy weapons and walk back.
