The U.S. troops in Iceland search the surrounding sea every day, but they usually search mainly in the waters of East Iceland, for whom the west is safe.

Just last evening, the main German fleet, sailing a distance of 100 kilometers west of Iceland from the Atlantic, completed preparations for battle before dawn.

The first is to dispatch a civilian airliner with a new livery to control the landing site.

Originally, there were various procedures for the landing of the plane, such as reporting in advance, radio calling, etc., but after observation, it was found that they would have a passenger plane landing every three days, and after becoming proficient many times, they would relax their guard.

So the German Navy took advantage of the opportunity.

Controlling the landing site and dispatching attack planes to provide ground support all caught the Americans off guard, but it only took about 10 minutes for the Americans to react.

Their ground forces would pounce on Reykjavik, and their air force would take off fighter planes to bomb the bases here, leaving time for the German landing force to be a simple matter of ten minutes.

For them, ten minutes is enough.

In the first three minutes, the defense of the entire base was solved and the base was controlled, and in the fourth minute, there was already a rumbling sound on the sea in the distance.

Not an airplane, but able to fly on the water, not a ship, but with the same carrying capacity as a ship, and at the same time able to fly on land, this is the hovercraft that played a key role when landing in Baku!

Germany's industrial production capacity is quite terrifying, and in a short period of time Germany has been equipped with hundreds of hovercraft, which come out of the bow of the landing ship and fly low on the sea.

They were traveling at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, so they came out an hour early, when the east was just showing the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Whether it is an airplane or a hovercraft, the altitude is very low, almost always close to the sea, and it is not easy to be detected by radar at all.

At the forefront of the attack was the 6th Marine Division, Reinhardt-Haldegen, standing in the wheelhouse of the hovercraft at the front, looking at the sea fading and the land that appeared in front of him, his face full of excitement.

After returning from Iran last time, Haldegen had risen through the ranks, and now commanded the newly expanded Marine Division, expanded from his original 6th Marine Regiment.

In the future war, Germany needed a large number of marines, and according to the plan, the marines would be expanded to more than ten divisions, and even as many as thirty divisions.

They have fought with a lot of enemies, and with the Americans, for the first time!

The hovercraft rushed onto land, rushed onto the runway of the airport, and stopped directly on the runway.

Then, the roar of the tail died down, and as the propeller stopped, the air cushion below also deflated, and it came to a smooth stop on the runway.

"Quick, quick, get on!" Haldegen shouted loudly: "Be fast! ”

The size of this hovercraft is not large, the displacement is only a hundred tons, so the loading capacity is still limited, and if it is the most advanced Tiger tank in Germany now, only one can be transported.

And their hovercraft is carrying a Tiger tank.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and not all troops are equipped with the strongest. For the Marine Corps, they need to take into account the need for mobility, so for a long time their main battle equipment was Black Panther 2 tanks, Black Panther 3 and Tiger tanks, which were mainly supplied to the ground forces.

At the same time, they were equipped with a large number of amphibious tanks and their amphibious armored vehicles to carry out landing operations.

At present, they have very few Tiger tanks in their establishment, and there are only a dozen of them in the entire division, forming the establishment of a heavy tank company.

This means of landing of theirs is also the most novel at present, which does not need a dock, does not need to rush to the beach, and comes up directly!

In fact, if you use a transport plane, Germany's strong transport capacity can also transport a reorganization division at a time, but the transport plane needs a runway and needs to land in turn, and at the same time, the cost-effectiveness ratio of the transport plane is definitely not cost-effective.

This hovercraft is the most effective way to land.

More than 100 hovercraft directly transported the entire 6th Marine Division, densely covering the entire air base, and the vast ground here is just right for them to land!

The tankman rumbled the tank and drove off the hovercraft, and when it left the hovercraft, it stopped, and Haldegen got inside the Tiger and turned on the radio.

This is his command tank. Although the Marines' large weight of the Tiger tank greatly limited its movement, after receiving it, Haldegen unceremoniously chose one to use as his own car.

For them, landing at the Keflavik base was only the first step, and their follow-up tasks were quite serious.

Just look at the geographical location here.

The entire Cape Lecha Peninsula is almost flat, and further east, there are rolling hills, and along the coastline there is a long and narrow flat passage.

It connects Keflavik and Reykjavík.

In other words, after they landed, the tens of thousands of American soldiers in the Icelandic capital would definitely be killed, and when they came, they would definitely take this passage.

Their task, of course, was to block the narrow passage and prevent the Americans from rushing to the peninsula plain, and at the same time to destroy the main force of the American army in a confrontation.

It's a tough battle, and they have to move fast!

One by one, with the Tiger tank as the lead, the Panther 2 tank in the center, the amphibious tank and infantry fighting vehicle at the end, the huge mechanized troops, almost did not stop at the entire landing field, and began to move towards this passage.

At the same time, in Reykjavík, Lieutenant General Alexander, the commander of the American garrison in Iceland, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem when he heard the news.

Damn, the Germans actually chose to come to their own trouble at this time, their side was a complete mess and they were not ready for any ground battles!

Now, the fighting on the side of the island nation alone has exhausted the United States, which simply does not have the ability to take care of the Atlantic direction, and although there are 40,000 troops defending Iceland, almost all of them are recruits!

What's even more terrifying is that they don't have heavy equipment at all.
