Colonel Hunt watched the Germans quickly line up for the attack, and knew that the situation was going in the worst direction, and at this time, their infantry could not stop it.

"Quick, call the headquarters, send planes over and bomb the Germans' troops!"

There is also an airport in Reykjavík, which is the capital of Iceland and was for a time a stopover for flights between Europe and the Americas.

And now, a certain number of P-40 fighters are also deployed here.

At the beginning of World War II, the P-40 fighter was simply notorious and was beaten miserably by the Zero, however, it also had certain advantages.

For example, it has a very low wing load and good performance in grappling at low and medium altitudes, so it can still be a good fighter if used correctly.

At the same time, it's also because they don't have a choice.

All branches of the armed forces need money, and the navy burns even more money, so it is really impossible to equip too many aircraft, and this batch of P-40s was originally made for France.

As a result, the French Air Force surrendered before it could be received, and so, just as the United States itself took it over, and in time for the tension of the European battlefield, it was deployed to Iceland.

In addition to being used in air combat, it can also carry two 500-pound bombs for ground attack.

In fact, there was no need for ground forces to call, just after receiving the forced landing of the Keflavik base by Germany, the base here also received an order.

"Quick, hang the bomb!" The base is busy, the fighters here were originally fighting against the air, only the machine guns were pressed with bullets, and now they have to attack the ground, only the machine guns are obviously insufficient, and there must be bombs.

The ground crews hurriedly pushed the bombs out of the ammunition depot in small cars and ran in the direction of the tarmac, and almost at that moment, the sharp air raid sirens sounded.

Before formulating the attack operation, Germany was very strict, and of course it would not miss their aviation base, and a large number of HS-129 sweepers had already flown in!

Every time the nose of the plane went down, it swept the furious 40-mm shells to the ground, and the bombs on the ground were exploded.

"Boom, boom!" There are explosions everywhere, there are fires everywhere, and the aviation here is also a second-line unit, almost a rookie who has just graduated from an aviation school, and before they have taken off, the entire base is already a sea of fire.

If they were skilled enough, they should have at least taken off a few air superiority fighters to protect the sky overhead, but now, when the German planes flew away, it was already a miserable place.

The Germans were hateful, they flew from the east.

Reykjavik is a coastal city, the west is the sea, and it is also the possible direction of attack of the Germans, so the coastal defense artillery and anti-aircraft artillery are all arranged on the west side, but as a result, the Germans came in a circle from the east!

The Germans crossed the mountains, boldly interspersed through the peaks, and almost as soon as they came out of the mountains, they began to attack without giving the Americans any time to react.

Ground forces, no longer fantasize about air support.

The Tiger Tank rumbled to the ground with the Panthers on its flanks and the infantry following closely behind, step by step towards the line of the 5th Continental Regiment.

"Grenadier, up!" Colonel Kate shouted.

With his order, the soldiers with cluster grenades rushed forward one by one, on the flat ground, they had almost nothing to cover, they could only run the S-shaped evasion route, relying on speed and maneuver to avoid the blows of the other side.

It is enough to run a few dozen meters forward.

And these tens of meters are the place of their death.

"Snort." The German tank made a chainsaw-like sound, and in front of the tank, the radioman operated the MG machine gun and fired fiercely, and 7.92 mm bullets were spilled like a scoop.

The rate of fire is too fast, as long as you get shot, it is definitely not one, but many!

The bullet hit the person, and at once there were several holes, and they fell backwards under the impact of the bullet.

The tank had a limited field of view, and it was impossible to take care of everything, and in the gap of the tank, the infantry behind, holding an assault rifle in their hands, adjusted to the pattern of bursts, made a clattering sound.

"Machine gun fire!" Colonel Kate shouted loudly.

Here, the water-cooled M1917A1 water-cooled heavy machine gun roared.

The chain rattled, and the yellow-orange-orange bullets were stuffed into the chamber of the gun, flying out of the muzzle with terrible speed, and firing towards the gap in the German tank. The machine gun could not be used against a tank, but it could hit the infantry next to the tank.

At the sound of chirping, several soldiers were swept away.

And at this time, the tank moved again.

"Boom!" The 88-mm tank gun roared, and in the midst of black smoke, a grenade accurately hit the opponent's machine-gun position, and in an instant, the entire machine-gun position flew up.

The combination of tanks and infantry is a perfect match, the tank is used to charge, the infantry protects the blind spot of the tank, the tank hits the opponent's pillbox to protect its own infantry, this kind of advance tactics, Germany has long been proficient.

Colonel Hunt watched the other party keep advancing, and his heart was also quite anxious.

"Regiment commander, the division commander told us to resist, they are laying minefields in the rear." Just then, a radio soldier shouted to him.

The front came into contact with the German army! After learning about it, the division commander in the back, Major General Vandergrift, immediately made a decision, got out of the car, and immediately laid mines!

They could not stop the German tank attack, but they could use the minefield to block the Germans' movements, and the faster the attack, the more favorable it would be for the landing force, and the longer it dragged on, the easier it would be for the defenders to organize effective resistance.

Now, our own side has to resist, and even, the whole regiment has to die here!

Colonel Hunt looked at the tank units that were getting closer and closer, and said: "Attention, everyone must have anti-tank grenades ready!" ”

The Germans' approach was unstoppable, and when they got close enough, they could throw a large number of grenades without having to rush forward.

Baslon took his anti-tank gun and aimed it at a Tiger tank again, and when his gun went off, the tank stopped!

I hit it again!

And almost at the same time, countless bullets flew at him, and although Baslon was running rapidly, he still felt a pain in his foot and neck, like a mosquito bite, and looked down to see that it was already full of blood.

He felt that his gun was too heavy to hold any longer, and his body fell.

"Basilon!" Beside him, two recruits crawled over, dragged his body, and dragged him back behind a rock.

The brave Baslon, an American hero who killed more than 3,000 soldiers of the island nation with the assistance of two wounded comrades, in the historical Battle of Kuah Island. Here, after only a few shots, he was wounded.

Even so, his record is already outstanding, he actually used an anti-tank gun to stop the attack of two Tiger tanks! If you give him a more handy weapon, he'll definitely do better!
