Chapter 1496 Surrounded by the Landing Troops

"Chichichi." The MG light machine gun made a sound like a chainsaw, and the bullets roared like a storm, shooting towards the American convoy.

"Papapa." The glass of the car shattered instantly, countless bullet holes passed through, and the auto soldiers in the cab fell on it.

A German soldier, half-recumbent with a unique object on his shoulder, takes aim and pulls the trigger.

A flame erupted from the rear bell mouth, and at the same time, a warhead flew towards the front.

"Boom!" It hit a car precisely, and the car exploded and burned.

The logistical troops were all second-tier, not field troops at all. After being attacked, they all hurriedly dropped their cars and ran backwards.

A small confrontation ended like this, and the shock it brought to the Americans was unparalleled.

Major General Vandergrift is in the makeshift headquarters, directing the battle ahead.

"Boom!" A shell exploded nearby, shaking the soil on the roof of his headquarters to the ground. He didn't care at all, and continued to speak.

"What happened to the 7th regiment? It just went up and then came down?"

"Commander, the 7th regiment lacks backbone, almost all recruits."

"So what? The battlefield doesn't care whether you are a recruit or not. On the battlefield, there is only victory. Tell the head of the 7th regiment, and then organize the manpower to withstand it for an hour. After the minefield is laid out on our side, he can retreat!"

"Division commander, division commander, it's not good!" At this moment, a soldier of the transport troop who ran back in dismay shouted loudly: "In our rear Habnafjordur, a large number of German soldiers suddenly appeared. !"

When he heard the news, Major General Vandergrift said subconsciously: "Today is not April Fool's Day!"

What a joke, our side has made huge sacrifices. The 5th regiment is nearly half dead, just to block the Germans and buy time for the rear. Now, suddenly they say that there are Germans behind them, then their sacrifice here. What's the point!

If the Germans bypassed their side, it could only be from the nearby mountains. In this case, it is definitely not a tank force, because there is no way for tanks to pass there. It can only be ordinary infantry, who will not carry heavy weights. Weapons, not many people.

Therefore, it is enough to send an ordinary combat troop over, and reopen the rear transportation line, so as to avoid the situation of poor supplies.

Thinking of this, Major General Vandergrift said: "Order the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment to go to the rear to clean up these Germans!"

It should be enough to dispatch a battalion to deal with the few enemies who destroy their own roads. Even Major General Vandergrift can think that after the arrival of his own troops, maybe those Germans have fled, they are destroying their own side. It's just a small army of traffic lines.

After receiving the order, the 3rd Battalion immediately stopped from the task of laying mines, took a car, and went to the rear.

"Germans, it's better not to run away, let's kill them all!" said battalion commander Chris, who sat in an ordinary ten-wheeled Ford truck, looking out at the sea on the side of the road.

"Look, what is that?" At this moment, a soldier shouted loudly, and they saw a strange aircraft appear in the sky.

That thing has no wings, but has a big propeller on top!

"Quick, quick, hidden!" Although he didn't know what it was, after seeing this kind of thing, Chris knew that it was definitely not a good thing. The big black cross on the side looked so scary.

It is a big killer that the Germans have not exposed!

As Chris shouted, that kind of thing flew, and it hovered slowly on the side of the road, out of the coverage of their small arms fire, and stopped!

At this moment, the car also stopped, and the soldiers above jumped down from the car in a hurry. At this moment, I saw the terrifying thing flying, and there were flames on both sides. In the flames, rockets shot at them one by one.

Swish, swish!

The rockets came with a terrible whistle and exploded on the car.

"Boom!" The soldiers who had not had time to jump out of the car screamed, and they were lifted into the sky by the explosion of the rocket.

The soldier who jumped down by chance hid beside the road, looking at the terrifying flying object in the sky, his eyes were full of fear, it could actually hover in the air!

Hovering planes are scary.

Ordinary planes need to have enough speed to make the plane generate lift. While the plane is in flight, the ground must have a certain amount of advance to shoot.

In this way, the hit rate will not be high.

But if you hover, it's different. Listening steadily in the air, hitting the target on the ground, it's just a catch, and the hit rate is terrifyingly high!

If they have anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, they can be a threat to aircraft, but now they have nothing, they are completely beaten!

The helicopters hovered, took aim slowly, opened fire, one after another, and the entire road became a sea of ​​fire.

When they did not see the German ground troops, they had suffered heavy losses. When the helicopter flew away, these frightened American soldiers continued to walk on the road for a few kilometers, and finally saw the German defense line.

What only a small group of troops, they have actually established a three-kilometer-wide defense line from the beach to the nearby hillside!

The main force of the Germans came, with at least one regiment, and they were surrounded!

Chris's face was quite ugly. He didn't even have the courage to rush over to fight a battle. He shouted loudly: "Report to the division commander, the main force of the Germans appeared behind us, and we are surrounded!"

Today is not April Fool's Day, today is the day when the 1st Marine Division is facing life and death!

How much energy did the Germans have, to be able to land so many troops in a short period of time, and to open up multiple landing points. For a time, Major General Vandergrift immediately realized that his side was in big trouble.

If you are surrounded by German tank troops on land, then forget it. As an island guard, you are actually surrounded by other landing troops?

It's unbelievable.

Now, the situation has deteriorated in an instant.

In front of him, the German armored troops were onslaught. It was obviously a cross-sea landing force, but the tanks were brought over. It was hard to believe that these infantrymen could only delay their attack by anti-tank mines. While the rear was supposed to be safe, new troops suddenly appeared.

Could it be that the only road left for him is the drilled mountain area?

No, of course not, in the mountains, then they won't do anything. Their task was to stop the German landing force and buy time for the defense of the capital, Reykjavik, rather than flee into the mountains.

What can you do in the mountains?

Guerrilla? For the regular army, fighting guerrillas is a shame.

He didn't know that his hesitation lost even the last chance. The entire 1st Marine Division became the first unit to be eliminated by Germany.
