"Snort." The MG light machine gun made a chainsaw-like sound, and the bullets roared past like a storm, firing towards the American convoy.

"Bang bang." The glass of the car shattered instantly, countless bullet holes passed through, and the car soldier in the cab fell on it.

A German soldier, half-lying on his body and carrying a unique thing on his shoulder, aimed, pulled the trigger.

A burst of flames came out of the bell mouth in the back, and at the same time, a warhead flew out towards the front.

"Boom!" It accurately hit a car, which exploded and burst into flames.

The logistics units were all second-line, not field troops at all, and after being attacked, they all hastily dropped their cars and ran backwards.

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

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

"Boom!" A shell exploded nearby, sending the dirt from the roof of his headquarters house to the ground, and he didn't care, continuing to speak.

"What's going on with the 7th regiment? Just went up and came down? ”

"Division commander, the 7th regiment lacks backbones, and almost all of them are recruits."

"So what? On the battlefield, it doesn't matter if you are a recruit or not, on the battlefield, only victory, tell the commander of the 7th regiment, organize manpower, withstand for an hour, and after the minefield on our side is arranged, he can retreat! ”

"Divisional commander, divisional commander, it's not good!" At this moment, a soldier of the transport unit, who had run back in disgrace, shouted loudly: "In our rear Habnafjörður, a large number of German soldiers suddenly appeared!" ”

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

What are you kidding, you have paid a huge sacrifice, the 5th regiment has been killed in nearly half of the battle, just to block the Germans and buy time for the rear, and now, suddenly saying that there are Germans behind you, so what is the point of your own sacrifice here!

If the Germans had bypassed their side, it could have been through the nearby mountains, and in this case, it would certainly not be a tank force, because there would be no tank passage there, it could only be ordinary infantry, who would not carry heavy weapons and would not be numerous.

Therefore, it is enough to send an ordinary combat unit over and reopen the rear transportation routes, so as to save your own side from having a shortage of supplies.

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

It should be enough to send a battalion against the few enemies who are destroying their own roads, and even Major General Vandergrift can think that when his troops arrive, the Germans may have fled, and they are just small forces that have destroyed their own lines of communication.

Having received the order, the 3rd Battalion immediately withdrew from the task of laying mines, got in a car, and headed for the rear.

"Germans, it's better not to run away, let's kill them all!" Battalion Commander Chris said, sitting in an ordinary ten-wheeler Ford truck and looking out to sea on one side of the road.

"Look, what's that?" Just then, a soldier shouted loudly, and they saw a strange flying machine appear in the sky.

That thing, it doesn't have wings, it actually has a big propeller on top!

"Quick, quick, hidden!" Although I don't know what it is, after seeing this kind of thing, Chris knows that it is definitely not a good thing, and the big black cross on the side looks so scary.

It was a weapon of mass destruction that the Germans had not exposed!

With Chris's shout, that thing flew in, and it slowly hovered on the side of the road, out of range of their small arms fire, and actually stopped!

At this time, the car also stopped, and the soldiers on it jumped down from the car with all hands and feet, and at this time, I saw the terrible thing flying, and there were clusters of flames on both sides, and in the flames, rockets were fired at them.

Whew,!

Rockets flew in, made terrible whistling and exploded on cars.

"Boom!" The soldiers, who had not had time to jump out of the car, let out a scream and were lifted into the sky in the explosion of rockets.

The soldier who had jumped off by luck hid on the side of the road, looking at the terrible flying object in the sky, his eyes were full of fear, it could actually hover in the air!

Airplanes that can hover are terrible.

Ordinary airplanes need to have enough speed for the aircraft to generate lift. In flight, the plane must shoot at the ground with a certain amount of advance.

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

But if you hover, it's different, listen steadily in the air, hit a target on the ground, it's simply hand-to-hand, and the hit rate is terrifyingly high!

If they had anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, they could pose a threat to the aircraft, but now they have nothing, they are completely in a situation where they are only beaten!

The helicopters hovered, slowly aiming, firing, one after another, and the entire highway turned into a sea of fire.

They had already suffered heavy losses when they did not see the German ground forces, and when the helicopters flew away, these frightened American soldiers, continuing on foot on the road, walked several kilometers, and finally saw the German line.

What a small force, they have built a defensive line from the beach to the nearby hillside that is a full three kilometers wide!

It was the main forces of the Germans, numbering at least one regiment, that they were surrounded!

Chris's face was rather ugly, he didn't even have the courage to rush over and fight, he shouted loudly: "Report to the division commander, what appeared behind us was the main force of the Germans, and we were surrounded!" ”

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

How much energy the Germans had to land so many troops in a short period of time, and actually opened up multiple landing sites, for a while, Major General Vandergrift immediately realized that he was in big trouble.

If on land, surrounded by German tank troops, then forget it, as a garrison of the island, they were actually surrounded by other landing forces?

It's unbelievable.

Now, the situation has deteriorated in an instant.

In front of him, the armored forces of the Germans were storming, obviously a cross-sea landing force, and they actually got all the tanks, it is really hard to believe, they, the infantry, can only rely on anti-tank mines to delay their attack, and the rear would have been safe, but suddenly new units appeared.

Is the only road left for me to be in the mountainous area?

No, of course not, if you go into the mountains, then they won't be able to do anything. Their task was to hold off the German landing force and buy time for the defense of the capital, Reykjavík, rather than fleeing into the mountains.

What can I do in the mountains?

Fighting guerrillas? For the regular army, guerrilla warfare is a disgrace.

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