Chapter 1498 Easy Battle

retreat!

Major General Vandergrift made the decision to retreat, knowing that it was too late as the German rockets came towards his position.

If they weren't the under-equipped Marines, but the main American infantry division, if they had a certain number of tanks, maybe they could save the situation and drive the Germans out to sea.

But they didn't, they were just a group of infantry. They only have light weapons, relying on flesh and blood, they have blocked the Germans for a while, it is already the greatest ability, and now, they can only retreat.

Retreat!

Many people have been sleeping here, and the living people have begun to retreat to the rear.

Major General Vandergrift made the last mistake of his military commanding career, he could have saved the rest of the army if he ordered his troops to drill into the mountains, but he didn't, he just ordered everyone Pulling back, although he knew that there were Germans behind him blocking his way, he still tried to make an impact, maybe he rushed away at once.

Moreover, until now, it is still unknown how many people there are.

The only ones he came into contact with were the soldiers of the logistics transport team. The troops he sent out to the rear to clear the ground were hit by planes in the sky and suffered heavy losses. Later, they did not arrive at the so-called German positions behind.

Maybe, as he deduced, there are only a small group of troops behind.

In this way, with the remaining people, he embarked on the road of no return.

At this time, the soldiers of the 3rd Air Assault Regiment have completed the deployment of the entire fortification. They are digging fortifications with two sides to defend, not only facing the enemy retreating from the west, but also facing the possibility of coming from the capital from the northeast. 's reinforcements.

A pile of machine guns were set up, and a bazooka was carried up, and just as they were on the defensive, the Americans rushed over.

"Attention, get close, don't shoot at a distance of less than 300 meters!"

At this point, the sun had already slipped to the west, and it was about to get dark. If the Americans charged again after dark, they might be able to run back part of the way. But now, they have every chance.

"Quick, quick, the defenders of Reykjavik will come out to meet us, as long as we pass the front, we can see our army!"

Everyone ran together, even Major General Vandergrift was no exception. The rocket hit just now blew up their cars, and those who were lucky enough to survive. The car, too, could not move because of the potholes on the road.

They could only run back and forth. At this time, the cars of the blown-up convoy had already appeared in front of them.

"Master, there may be an ambush ahead." An assistant said beside Vandergrift.

Is there an ambush?

Van der Griffith took out his telescope and looked into the distance. As far as his line of sight went, he didn't seem to see anything unexpected.

The German lines of defense were so cleverly arranged that they could not be seen clearly from a distance, and it was getting dark.

What is even more terrifying is that there are German tanks chasing them. If they move slowly and are caught up by the German tank troops, it will be troublesome.

"It's alright, let's move on."

A well-known American soldier trotted all the way in disgrace, carrying his own rifle, and they kept getting closer and closer to the German line of defense.

Where are the Germans?

It must be only a small group of troops, it may have been parachuted, that's all.

At this moment, all of a sudden, there was a terrible sound all around.

From the front position, there was a sound like a chainsaw, and a handful of machine guns fired a violent rain of bullets, which poured down on the American soldiers.

In an instant, the soldiers running in front collapsed screaming. They narrowly escaped from the German gunfire, but now, they were shot by the German machine guns.

The soldiers behind fell to their knees in an instant, and Vandergrift hid behind a rock, raised his binoculars, and looked ahead.

A long line of defense appeared in his eyes like this. Sure enough, the logistics force did not lie. There were at least a thousand troops on the opposite side. It was very difficult for them to rush through. They were all automatic firepower.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the mountains in the east, and the planes in the strange report flew out.

What are the advantages of helicopters? Of course, they can hover, and they can take off and land vertically. When there is no battle, they simply stop behind the mountain and hide themselves perfectly. Now, when the battle begins, they start immediately, and then jump from the sky. come over.

The helicopters flew over like falcons preying on them.

These helicopters are equipped by the Marine Corps, which greatly improves the convenience for them.

In the past, they had to call for air support, which had a set of procedures, and it was impossible for the planes in the air to wait here all the time. However, the helicopters that belonged to them directly were always on call.

It is incomparable with the gunships of later generations. The fire control system is quite backward and primitive, there are no anti-tank missiles, only a small number of rockets, and the maneuverability is also very poor.

At the same time, some of the helicopters had emptied the rockets, leaving only a machine gun mounted on the side of the fuselage.

Different from the ground attack aircraft, such as the professional HS129, etc., it is equipped with fixed cannons, and the direction is adjusted according to the movements of the fuselage.

But the helicopter will not work. Helicopters often hover and shoot directly, which requires the turret to be able to rotate. Although Germany has adopted the form of a remote control turret on the B-29, it is too complicated after all, and the integration has not been completed. Task.

On the contrary, it is quite easy to install an MG machine gun directly on the side of the cabin. At this time, the machine gunner Phillips has completed the conversion of his duties. He stood on the cabin door and tied his body with a seat belt. Then he installed his own machine gun on the rack that was already prepared, and along with the helicopter, came together.

"Chichi!" As he pulled the trigger, the machine gun was blazing, and 7.92mm bullets shot to the ground. For him, everyone on the ground was uncovered.

Wherever the bullets went, there was a mess, and a famous soldier trembled, snowflakes appeared one by one, and fell down.

The American soldiers on the ground panicked instantly and jumped terribly. The bullets flying from above their heads could wipe out all of them! This way, it seems quite overbearing.
