Chapter 1497: Back Up Comes

"It's finally time for you." On the dock in Keflavik, cargo ships came up.

Although the Marine Corps has landing ships, they are few after all, and a large amount of equipment still needs to be transported by cargo ships. After the occupation of Keflavik, the cargo ships were slow at the dock of Keflavik. Slowly driving over, from more than 100 kilometers away, it took them a full five hours.

The wharf is not large, and at most four ships can unload at the same time. As the ships docked, the equipment on the cargo ships began to be unloaded.

This is the ro-ro ship. At this time, on the paved bridge deck, trucks are moving down. They are ordinary ten-wheel off-road trucks modified. In the back, there is a neat Cyric pipe organ.

"Quick, start up, we are going." The commander of the multiple rocket launcher shouted: "The front is calling us."

The landing has been going on for more than five hours. The golden time of the landing was enough to rush to Reykjavik, but it was deadlocked more than 70 kilometers east of the landing site. The 6th Marine Division was still with the front. American army fighting.

There is no way, they can't rush directly over in one go, because they have already got the news that the Americans have set up a large number of anti-tank minefields behind them. If they pass by now, they will just fall into the trap of the Americans.

Tanks are not everything, the track is one of the most vulnerable parts.

If it is on the vast Soviet land, the minefield is not very useful. It is found that the Soviets have set up the minefield, and it is a big deal to take a detour, but in Iceland, which is full of mountains, it is different. The road for the tank troops is the only one.

Success cannot be replicated, in the battle of the invasion of France, the German army skillfully walked the Ardennes forest, it was a route planned in advance, and in Iceland it was different.

The outside world knows very little about Iceland, and there is no particularly detailed map of Iceland. Without an actual survey, the tank troops will drill into the mountains, which will be miserable.

What to do then? Of course, waiting, for example, waiting for new equipment to be transported from the rear.

The battle line is still moving forward. The driver of Haldegen's car was dragged out and replaced with a new driver, but he has not yet planned to set off. The sound of battle in the distance has made him a little helpless. .

Americans have a strong will to fight, which is different from the French and British. Probably the Americans already know that this war is doomed to life and death. If the United States fails again, it is inevitable for Germany to rule the world.

Therefore, although the Americans were not equipped well, they were still using human lives to hinder the passage of the German army. In order to avoid too many casualties, Haldegen did not let his troops attack without any sacrifice.

If you hit the past, it will be a minefield, but you can't fall into the trap of the Americans.

At this moment, a rumbling voice came from behind. He watched his reinforcements come up, and his face was full of smiles: "Quick, stand up and hit me hard!"

The Americans on the opposite side had no artillery, and they were all light infantry, let alone howitzers. Besides, even if they have it, it is useless. As long as they open fire, they will be blown up by their own attack aircraft.

And now, with the arrival of reinforcements, the end of America is officially here!

"Stand up and prepare to fire!"

One after another, Cyric pipe organs were laid out in the back, and there were hundreds of them. At the same time as they set up the hydraulic outriggers, the shooter began to nervously plan to shoot Zhu Yuan.

"Can we get our tanks back a little bit?" the commander shouted. "We're not 100% sure."

Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, these most powerful German tanks, actually began to retreat!

Colonel Hunter looked around him. There were corpses everywhere, and the air was full of gunpowder smoke.

They arranged three lines of defense, all of which were broken by the Germans. There were only less than a hundred people left in the entire regiment. They held grenades and planned to die with the Germans when the Germans came up.

They did not disgrace the U.S. Marine Corps, relying on their own small arms, grenades, and their own flesh and blood, they literally blocked the German tank force for five hours!

The 7th regiment came up, fought side by side with them, and with one blow, was defeated.

When it matters, watch them!

Now, watching the German tanks recede like a tide, they actually have a feeling of the rest of their lives.

"Crack." Colonel Hunter switched on the lighter, lit the last cigarette, and took a deep breath: "Come on, one puff per person."

The smoke was passed on continuously, whether they would smoke it or not, they all took a sip, with contentment on their faces.

In this battle, they played their style!

At this moment, Colonel Hunter suddenly felt that something was wrong, impossible, how could the Germans suddenly go down?

At this moment, in the sky in the distance, if there is a dense rain of arrows, one after another rockets fly, and the rocket engine has already been burned, and you can only see that the projectile is flying fast, Hunter. The colonel felt every hair on his back stand up.

No wonder the Germans went down, because the German artillery support came up!

There is a limit to the number of hovercraft, and there is also a limit to the number of landing ships. In order to use these equipment on the blade, it can only send tank troops up.

But tanks are not omnipotent. For example, at this time, strong artillery support is more important.

Recruits are afraid of guns, and veterans are afraid of machine guns, but no matter whether recruits or veterans, they are afraid of this kind of multi-barrel rocket launcher, because this is a weapon that kills and kills, and there is no place to hide. .

"Attention, rocket attack!" Just after he finished shouting, one after another rockets fell from the sky with a fierce howl, covering their entire position.

There were explosions everywhere, black smoke rising everywhere, and nothing could be seen in the black smoke.

At this moment, suddenly, a louder explosion sounded, the whole earth seemed to be shaking, and the minefield behind was detonated!

How to deal with minefields is a big problem faced by tank troops. Engineers are too slow to clear mines, and it is also risky to directly detonate mines. At the same time, the speed is slow. If rockets are used to cover minefields to detonate, it will be much faster. Also more efficient.

The Americans bent over to dig holes for several hours, and buried a large number of mines, from the beach to the bottom of the mountain, dense enough to block the advance of the Germans, but now, they have done nothing.

Germany does not need to clear all the mines, it just needs to open a channel wide enough in the middle. In fact, if the minefield is dense enough, the explosion is enough to cause a chain reaction, detonating all the nearby mines.

This bombing collapsed the 1st Marine Division.

"Division commander, division commander, the German artillery bombardment is too violent!" In the command headquarters, a regiment commander shouted loudly: "Our minefields have been detonated!"

Major General Vandergrift's face was ugly. He smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the air and said, "Gather our troops and prepare to retreat!"

Can't fight anymore, the German artillery fire has leveled this place, and the minefield is gone. No wonder the Germans didn't attack with all their strength just now, and they were waiting for the support artillery fire from the rear!
