Chapter 1486： Hovercraft landing (1/2)
The US garrison in Iceland searches the surrounding seas every day, but they usually search the eastern seas of Iceland. For them, the west is safe.
Just last night, the German main fleet sailed from the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Iceland for a distance of 100 kilometers. Before dawn, it completed preparations for battle.
The first is to dispatch a civil airliner with a new paint scheme to control the landing site.
Originally, there were various procedures for the landing of airplanes, such as reporting in advance, radio calls and so on, but after observation, they found that they would have a passenger plane landing every three days. After many times of proficiency, they would relax their guard.
So the German Navy took advantage of this opportunity.
Controlling the landing site and dispatching attack aircraft to provide ground support all caught the Americans by surprise. However, it only takes about ten minutes for the Americans to react.
Their ground forces will pounce from Reykjavik, and their air force will take off fighter planes to bomb the base here, leaving the German landing forces with a simple ten minutes.
For them, ten minutes is enough.
In the first three minutes, the defense of the entire base was resolved and the base was controlled, but in the fourth minute, a rumbling sound was heard from the distant sea.
It's not an airplane, but it can fly on the water. It's not a ship, but it has the same capacity as a ship and can fly to land. This is the hovercraft that played a key role when landing in Baku!
Germany's industrial production capacity is quite terrible. In a short period of time, Germany has been equipped with hundreds of hovercraft. They emerged from the bow of the landing ship and flew low on the sea.
Their speed is as high as 100 kilometers per hour, so they came out an hour earlier, when Dongfang had just revealed his white belly.
Whether it is an airplane or a hovercraft, the altitude is very low, almost always close to the sea surface, and it is not easy to be detected by radar at all.
At the forefront of the attack was the Marine Corps 6th Marine Division, Reinhardt-Hardgen, standing in the cockpit of the foremost hovercraft, watching the sea gradually receding and the land that appeared in front of his face. Full of excitement.
After returning from Iran the last time, Hardgen was promoted once, and now he has commanded the newly expanded Marine Division, expanded from his original 6th Marine Regiment.
In future wars, Germany will need a large number of Marine Corps. According to the plan, the Marine Corps will be expanded to more than ten divisions, even up to thirty divisions.
They have fought many enemies, and this is the first time against the Americans!
The hovercraft rushed to land, rushed to the airport runway, and stopped directly on the runway.
Then, the roar of the tail disappeared, and as the propeller stopped, the air cushion below was also deflated, and it stopped smoothly on the runway.
”Quick, quick, go on!” Haldergen shouted loudly, ”Be fast!”
The size of this hovercraft is small, and the displacement is only 100 tons, so the loading capacity is still limited. If it is the most advanced tiger tank in Germany, it can only transport one.
And on this hovercraft, they carried a tiger tank.
