Chapter 1495: Back up (1/2)
”I finally waited for you.” On the pier in Keflavík, cargo ships approached.
Although the Marine Corps has a landing ship, it is a small number after all. A large amount of equipment still needs to be transported by cargo ships. After occupying Keflavík, the cargo ships are also slow at the Keflavík pier. They drove over slowly, and they spent a full five hours from more than a hundred kilometers away.
The wharf is not large, and only four ships can be unloaded at the same time. As the ship docked, the equipment on the cargo ship began to unload.
This was on the ro-ro ship. At this time, on the paved bridge deck, trucks were driven down. They were converted from ordinary ten-wheel off-road trucks. At the back, there was a neat Cyric organ.
”Hurry up, we are all moving up, we are about to set off.” The commander of the multiple rocket launcher shouted: ”The front is calling us.”
The landing has been going on for more than five hours. The prime time of this landing was originally enough to rush to Reykjavik, but it fell into a stalemate more than 70 kilometers east of the landing site. The 6th Marine Division is still with the forefront. American troops are fighting.
There is no way, they can't rush over directly, because they have already got the news that the Americans have arranged a large number of anti-tank minefields in the back. If they pass now, they will just hit the trap of the Americans.
Tanks are not omnipotent. Tracks are one of the most fragile parts.
If it is on the vast Soviet land, the minefield is not very useful. It is found that the Soviets have arranged the minefield, and it is a big deal to take a detour, but it is different in Iceland, which is full of mountainous areas. Tank troops pass through the only road.
Success cannot be replicated. In the battle to invade France, the German army cleverly walked the Ardennes Forest. It was a planned route in advance, but it was different in Iceland.
The outside world knows very little about Iceland, and there is no particularly detailed map of Iceland. Without actual surveys, the tank troops would drill into the mountains, which would be miserable.
What to do then? Of course it is waiting, like now, waiting for the rear to transport new equipment.
The battle line still moved forward. The driver of Hardegen’s car was dragged out and replaced with a new driver, but he hadn’t planned to set off yet. 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 the Americans already know that this war is doomed to life and death. If the United States fails again, it is inevitable that Germany will rule the world.
Therefore, although the Americans were not equipped, they were still using their lives to obstruct the passage of the German troops. In order to avoid too much casualties, Haldgen did not allow his troops to attack at all costs.
If it hits it, it will be a minefield, but it can't be caught by the Americans.
At this moment, a rumbling voice came from behind. He watched his reinforcements come up, and his face was suddenly full of smiles: ”Quickly, stand up and hit me hard!”
The Americans on the opposite side did not have artillery, and they were all light infantry, not to mention howitzers. Besides, even if they had it, it was useless, as long as they opened fire, they would be blown up by their own attack aircraft.
And now, with the arrival of reinforcements, the end of the Americans is officially here!
”Set your ground and prepare to fire!”
Cyric organs were laid out behind each other. There were hundreds of them. As they set up the hydraulic outriggers, the shooter began to count the shots.
”Can we retreat our tanks a bit?” the commander shouted, ”We are not 100% sure.”
Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, these most powerful tanks in Germany, have actually begun to retreat!
Colonel Hunter looked around him, there were dead bodies everywhere, and the air was full of gunpowder smoke.
