Ch 14
Over the next few weeks, Captain America and the Howling Commandos fought tirelessly as they pushed back Hydra, blowing up more and more of their bases.
Cap also had a new Vibranium shield that was given to her by Howard Stark.
One time, Stephanie and her team were doing a mission in the woods. Then she saw a sniper and knocked him out of his tree with a shield-throw.
A commando then placed a bomb on the underside of a truck before plugging his ears as it blew up.
In another mission, a Hydra trooper was about to snipe Stephanie when Bucky sniped him instead. Stephanie looked, then nodded at Bucky who nodded back.
Finally, a commando tossed Stephanie a bomb and she jumped ontop of a tank, pulled out the driver, then threw the bomb in and jumped off as a raging fireball roared behind her.
"YOU ARE FAILING!" Red Skull yelled in anger as he and Zola arrived at another destroyed Hydra base. "We are close to an offensive that will shake the planet, yet we are constantly delayed because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield."
"This is hardly my area of expertise." Zola said. "I only develop the weapons. I cannot fire them."
"Finish your mission, Doctor, before the American finishes hers."
Then two Hydra troopers came up to them.
"I'm sorry, Herr Schmidt." one of them panted. "We fought to the last man."
"Evidently not," was Red Skull's only reply as he raised his pistol, then fired.
