Chapter 1486: Hovercraft landing

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.
There are specialties in the art industry, and not all units are equipped with the best. For the Marine Corps, they need to consider the needs of mobility, so for a long time, their main battle equipment has been Panther 2 tanks, Panther 3 and Tiger tanks, mainly supplying ground troops.
At the same time, they are equipped with a large number of amphibious tanks and their amphibious armored vehicles for landing operations.
Now, there are very few Tiger tanks in their organization. The entire division has only a dozen vehicles, forming a heavy tank company organization.
Their landing method is also the most novel at the moment. It doesn't need a dock or beach landing, it just comes up!
In fact, if a transport plane is used, Germany's strong transport capacity can also transport one reorganizer at a time. However, the transport plane needs a runway and needs to land sequentially. 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 one hundred hovercraft directly transported the entire 6th Marine Division, densely covering the entire air force base, and the vast ground here is just right for them to land!
The tanker rumblingly started the tank and drove off the hovercraft. When it left the hovercraft, it stopped. Hardergen got into the Tiger tank and turned on the radio.
This is his command tank. Although for the Marines, the Tiger tank's huge self-weight greatly restricted its movement, after receiving it, Hardergen still unceremoniously chose one as his own car.
For them, landing on Keflavík base was only the first step, and their follow-up tasks were still quite severe.
You can see the location here.
The entire Recha Cape Peninsula is almost flat, and further east, there are undulating mountains, and on the coastline, there is a long and flat passage.
Keflavík and Reykjavik are connected here.
In other words, after they landed, the tens of thousands of American soldiers in the capital of Iceland will surely kill them, and when they come, they will definitely take the passage here.
Their task ~EbookFREE.me~, of course, is to block the long and narrow passages, to prevent Americans from rushing to the plains of the peninsula, and to eliminate the main force of the US military in the battle.
This is a head-to-head battle, and their actions must be fast!
Tank after tank, led by Tiger tanks, Panther 2 tank in the center, amphibious tanks and infantry fighting vehicles at the end, huge mechanized troops, almost without stopping in the entire landing field, began to move towards this passage. .
At the same time, in Reykjavik, Lieutenant General Alexander, the commander of the US garrison in Iceland, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem when he heard the news.
Damn, the Germans actually chose to make trouble for themselves at this time. There is a mess on their own side, and they are not prepared for any ground fighting!
Now, just fighting on the island country has made the United States exhausted. The United States has no ability to take into account the direction of the Atlantic Ocean. Although there are 40,000 troops to guard Iceland, almost all recruits!
Even more frightening is that they don't have heavy equipment at all.
