"It's finally your wait." On the docks of Keflavik, cargo ships approached.

Although the marines have landing ships, they are a small number after all, and a large amount of equipment still needs to be transported by cargo ships, and after the capture of Keflavik, on the docks of Keflavik, the cargo ships slowly moved over, from more than a hundred kilometers away, they took five hours.

The dock is not large, and it can only unload up to four ships at the same time, and as the ships dock and the equipment on the cargo ships, they begin to unload.

This is on the ro-ro ship, and at this time on the paved bridge, truck after truck, they are ordinary ten-wheeled off-road trucks, and in the back, there is a neat Shirek pipe organ.

"Quick, let's go, we're going to go." The commander of the MLRS shouted: "The front is calling us." ”

The landing had been going on for more than five hours, and the golden time for the landing was enough to rush to Reykjavík, but it was at a stalemate more than 70 kilometers east of the landing site, and the 6th Marine Division was still fighting with the American troops at the front.

There is no way, they can't rush straight over in one go, because they have already received information that the Americans have laid a large number of anti-tank minefields in the back, and if they go over now, they will fall into the trap of the Americans.

Tanks are not omnipotent, and the tracks are one of the most vulnerable components.

If it was in the vast land of the Soviet Union, the minefield was not of much use, and it was found that the Soviets had laid out the minefield, and it was a big detour, but in Iceland, which is full of mountains, it is different, and the road for tank troops is the only one.

Success is not replicable, during the invasion of France, the German army skillfully took the Ardennes Forest, that was a pre-planned route, but in Iceland it was different.

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

So what to do? Waiting, of course, as now, waiting for the rear to transport new equipment over.

The battle line still moved forward, and the driver of Haldegen's car was dragged out and replaced with a new driver, but he didn't plan to set off yet, and the sound of fighting in the distance made him a little helpless.

The Americans have a strong will to fight, unlike the French and the British, probably because the Americans already know that this war is doomed to life and death, and if the United States loses again, Germany's world domination is inevitable.

Therefore, although the Americans were not well equipped, they were still filling with human lives to hinder the passage of the German army, and in order to avoid too many casualties, Haldegen did not let his troops attack at any cost.

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

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from behind, and he looked at his reinforcements coming up, and his face was immediately full of smiles: "Quick, stand up, give me a hard fight!" ”

The Americans on the opposite side did not have artillery, and they were all light infantry, let alone howitzers. Besides, even if they have, it is useless, as long as they fire, they will be blown up by their own attack aircraft.

And now, with the arrival of reinforcements, the end of the Americans has officially arrived!

"Get out of the way and get ready to fire!"

One by one, the Ciric pipe organs were swinging out in the back, there were hundreds, and as they propped up their hydraulic legs, the shooters began to nervously calculate the number of shots.

"Can you get our tanks to pull back a bit?" The commander shouted: "We are not 100% sure. ”

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

Colonel Hunt looked around him, there were corpses everywhere, and the air was full of gunsmoke.

They laid out three lines of defense, all of which were broken by the Germans, and the whole regiment was reduced to less than a hundred men, who were armed with grenades, intending to die with the Germans when they came up.

They did not disgrace the US Marines, they relied on their small arms, on grenades, on their own flesh and blood, and they simply held back the German tank forces for five hours!

The 7th regiment came up and fought side by side with them, and after one storm, it was routed.

When it matters, it's better to watch them!

Now, watching the German tanks retreat like a tidal wave, they actually have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"Smack." Colonel Hunt turned on the lighter, lit the last cigarette, and took a hard puff: "Come, one puff." ”

The cigarette was passed on continuously, and whether they could smoke it or not, they took a puff with satisfaction on their faces.

This battle has brought out their demeanor!

At this moment, Colonel Hunt suddenly sensed that something was wrong, it was impossible, how could the Germans suddenly go down?

At this moment, in the distant sky, if there was a dense rain of arrows, rockets flew one after another, and the rocket engine had already burned out, and only the body of the bullet could be seen flying rapidly, and Colonel Hunt felt that every hair on his back was about to stand up.

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

There is a limit to the number of hovercraft, and there is also a limit to the number of landing ships, and in order to use these equipment to the cutting edge, the only way to do this is to send tank troops.

But tanks are not a panacea, for example, at this time, strong artillery support is even more important.

Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, but both recruits and veterans are afraid of this kind of MLRS, because this is a face-to-kill weapon, there is no place to hide at all, except to shout God bless, only to resign to fate.

"Attention, rocket attack!" Just after he finished shouting, one rocket after another, with a fierce roar, fell from the sky, 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, and the whole earth seemed to tremble, and the minefield behind it was detonated!

How to deal with minefields is a big problem for tank troops, sappers are too slow to clear mines, and there is also a risk of directly crushing mines, and at the same time the speed is slow, if you use rockets to cover the minefield to detonate, it will be much faster and more efficient.

The Americans bent down and dug holes for several hours, and laid a large number of mines, from the beach to the bottom of the mountain, dense enough to stop the advance of the Germans, but now, all of them have done useless work.

Germany did not need to clear all the mines, it only needed to open a wide enough passage in the middle, in fact, if the minefield was dense enough, the explosion would be enough to cause a chain reaction and detonate all the nearby mines.

This bombing even collapsed the 1st Marine Division.

"Division commander, division commander, the shelling of the Germans is too fierce!" In the command headquarters, a regimental commander shouted: "Our minefields have been detonated!" ”

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

Can't fight, the Germans have flattened the artillery here, the minefield is gone, no wonder the Germans didn't attack with all their strength just now, they are waiting for the support artillery fire from the rear!
