The 2,000-horsepower engine was rumbling, and in the midst of this loud sound, the nose of the Hummingbird 2 helicopter was slightly lowered, and the whole plane began to fly forward.

For helicopters, the rotor at the top should not only generate lift, but also generate forward power, and this power is achieved by changing the direction of the propeller at the top, when the overall plane of the propeller is tilted forward, the air flow it blows out is downward to the rear, which provides both upward force and forward force.

Completely different from other fixed-wing aircraft, this aircraft immediately attracted some strange eyes when it was equipped in the German army, it was really interesting!

At the same time, it gave the German army a completely new style of operation.

It is similar to parachuting, but when parachuting, the troops are scattered, and it is not easy to assemble again, and helicopters can be used as support firepower in addition to transportation.

The current Hummingbird 2 helicopter is completely all-rounder, in addition to being used for flying, it also has rocket launchers on its short wings, and aviation rockets are suspended on it, which can effectively hit the ground.

One after another, on each amphibious assault ship, 10 helicopters took off, and 40 helicopters formed a large group of planes, which headed for the target on the surface of the sea.

At the same time, as they took off, the second group of helicopters was quickly lifted to the deck by the lift, and soon to be able to continue flying.

Lucas looked up and looked at the sky, the F190 fighter jets that had taken off from the attack carrier, about five hundred meters above their altitude, were flying past their rear.

A basic premise for the helicopter to be used is that the sky belongs to one's own, that is, the helicopter can only be launched to land across the sea under the condition of seizing air supremacy.

In fact, not only helicopters, but even other ordinary landing methods, are the first step to seize air supremacy, which is the first step in the war.

And now in Iceland, there are almost no American planes that can take off, and the German Navy is still not at ease, and the F190 fighters that flew in advance will hover over Habnafjörður to help guard the landing site.

In their eyes, the helicopter is too slow, with a maximum speed of less than 200 kilometers per hour, but it becomes more difficult to shoot down the helicopter if it is an opponent.

This is the same as the jet using a cannon to shoot down a propeller plane, this is determined by a huge speed difference, the pilot wants to shoot at the target, there is a set of complex procedures, after stable tracking, prejudge the target course, can finally shoot down the opponent.

Therefore, the most common type of cannon air combat is tail chase, chasing from behind, steadily tracking and then firing.

But helicopters are different, they are too slow and hover at any time, so that the bullets of the cannon will miss nine times out of ten, because the prejudgment will be all wrong.

Of course, helicopters are not used for air combat, they have their own stage to play.

Habnafjörður, on Reykjavík's road to Cape Recha peninsula, was originally a small seaside village, but today it is one of the most talked-about places.

The helicopter rumbled by, and at this time, the American defenders did not notice it at all.

The 1st Marine Division, which had already been dispatched, had already moved from here, laying minefields in front of it, and the remaining defenders of Reykjavik in the rear had not yet planned to come out.

At this time, only a few native Icelanders were standing outside the village, nervously watching the terrible things flying overhead.

What is that? In ordinary airplanes, the rotors are in front of the nose, but in these planes, the rotors are overhead! What's even more terrifying is that these planes are actually hovering above their heads!

These natives are not particularly afraid, after all, neither the Americans nor the Germans will treat them badly, although the Americans have been propagating how evil the Germans are all day long, but no one has seen that they are fishing at sea, and they are not bullied by the Germans.

Some of the bold ones remained in place, watching these special planes slowly descend, and then the wheels came into close contact with the ground.

"Quick, quick, quick!" Lucas shouted loudly: "Set up positions here and surround the Americans!" ”

Phillips, the machine gunner, picked up his machine gun and ran quickly to the side of the road, and soon found a natural ravine, which could be used as good cover for a little work.

What is the purpose of the frog jump tactic? Of course, it's the same as the army's tactics, outflanking the other side!

When they landed here, they just blocked the rear road of the 1st Marine Division in front of the United States, and when they found that their rear road was surrounded, they would definitely be in chaos, just enough to encircle and annihilate them all.

At the same time, they can also march towards Reykjavík, or they can prevent Reykjavík reinforcements from coming up, in short, after they come here, they can attack and retreat.

There were forty helicopters, and there were more than a dozen people on each one, and in the first batch, they came up with more than 500 people, and when the helicopters came up at the back, there would be more than 1,000 people.

And when the helicopter returns, when it comes back a second time, almost the entire regiment of them can be transported.

If you only look at the number of people, it seems that they are not much, there are only more than 2,000 combat regiments, and almost all of them are infantry, and they don't seem to have much combat effectiveness, but don't forget, they still have helicopter support that can be called in at any time! Those 80 helicopters, after transporting all the personnel, will carry out ground support, which is equivalent to 80 tanks flying in the air!

Definitely more powerful than the armored regiment on the ground!

"Attention, the convoy of Americans was spotted, ready to attack!" Lucas shouted loudly.

After the soldiers were put down, the helicopter flew away, and only two or three fighters circled in the sky in the sky, and in order to avoid accidental damage, they did not come down to attack the ground.

They simply took what they had observed and quickly radioed the personnel on the ground.

From the road to the west, a convoy came!

This is the logistics unit of the 1st Marine Division, and after the main force goes up, they need to constantly go back and forth to transport ammunition, and this coastal road, which is not very wide, is suddenly busy.

At this time, they had just finished transporting ammunition and were heading back, almost as soon as they got out of the terrible sound of gunfire, and came to this side of the road, and saw in the distance that the road ahead was blocked, and on both sides of the road there was a force building fortifications!

At this point, the people in the convoy made a mistake in judgment.

Obviously, this is their own people, I didn't expect them to arrange fortifications layer by layer, and they all came here? That can't cut the road!

"Hey, what's the part of the front? Who told you to do this? In the front of the car, the soldier on the passenger side poked his head out and shouted in this direction.

When he had just finished shouting, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, those people did not come out to greet them, but actually hid their bodies behind the cover and pointed their guns at them at the same time!

That's the Germans!

Damn, God, who will explain how the Germans suddenly appeared in front of themselves! Hadn't the Germans been blocked in the western part of the peninsula by the 1st Marine Division? How can it appear in the rear?

At this point, there was no one to answer him. The Germans greeted them with a dense rain of bullets!
