The US troops stationed in Iceland search the surrounding sea every day, but they usually search the waters in the east of Iceland. For them, the west is safe.

Just last night, the German main fleet sailed a distance of 100 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Iceland, and completed the preparations for the battle before dawn.

The first is to dispatch a civil aircraft with changed coating to control the landing site.

Originally, there were various procedures for aircraft landing, such as reporting in advance and radio calling. However, after observation, it was found that they would land an airliner every three days. After many times of proficiency, they would relax their vigilance.

So the German Navy took advantage of this opportunity.

Controlling the landing site and sending out attack aircraft to provide ground support have caught Americans unprepared. However, it will only take more than ten minutes for Americans to react.

Their ground troops will come from Reykjavik, and their air force will take off warplanes to bomb the base here. The time left for the German landing forces is just more than ten minutes.

For them, more than ten minutes is enough.

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

It's not an aircraft, but it can fly on the water. It's not a ship, but it has the same carrying capacity as a ship. At the same time, it can fly to land. This is the hovercraft that plays a key role when landing in Baku!

Germany's industrial production capacity is quite terrible. In a short time, Germany has equipped hundreds of hovercraft. They come out from the head of landing ships and fly low on the sea.

Their speed was as high as 100 kilometers per hour, so they came out an hour in advance. At that time, the East had just revealed the white belly of the fish.

Whether aircraft or hovercraft, the height is very low, almost close to the sea, and it is not easy to be detected by radar.

At the front of the attack, Reinhart haldagen, the 6th Marine Division of the Marine Corps, stood in the cab of the foremost hovercraft, watching the sea gradually subside and the land in front, his face full of excitement.

After returning from Iran last time, haldagen was promoted once, and now he has commanded the newly expanded Marine Division, which was expanded from his original 6th Marine Regiment.

In the future war, Germany needs a large number of Marines. According to the plan, the Marines will expand to more than 10 divisions, or even up to 30 divisions.

They have fought with many enemies. It's the first time they have fought with Americans!

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

Then, the roar of the tail disappeared. As the propeller stopped, the air cushion below collapsed, and it stopped smoothly on the runway.

"Come on, come on, drive down!" Haldagen shouted, "go 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.

On their hovercraft, they carried a Tiger tank.

Not all troops are equipped with the strongest equipment. For the Marine Corps, they need to consider the need for mobility, so for a long time, their main combat equipment has been Panther 2 tanks, Panther 3 and Tiger tanks, mainly supplying ground troops.

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

At present, there are few Tiger tanks in their establishment, and the whole division has only a dozen or so, forming the establishment of a heavy tank company.

Their landing means are also the most novel at present. They don't need a wharf or beach landing. They come up directly!

In fact, if transport aircraft are used, Germany's strong transport capacity can transport one reorganization division at a time. However, transport aircraft need runways and need to land in turn. At the same time, the cost-effectiveness ratio of transport aircraft is definitely not cost-effective.

This hovercraft is the most effective way to land.

More than 100 hovercraft have directly transported the whole 6th Marine Division. It is densely covered with the whole air force base. The vast ground here is just suitable for them to land!

The tank driver rumbled the tank and drove down from the hovercraft. When he left the hovercraft, it stopped. Haldagen got into the Tiger tank and turned on the radio.

This is his command tank. Although for the Marine Corps, the huge weight of the Tiger tank greatly limited its movement, after receiving it, haldagen impolitely chose one as his car.

For them, landing at kevlavik base is only the first step, and their follow-up task is still quite severe.

You can see the geographical location here.

The whole leichajiao peninsula is almost flat. Further east, there are undulating mountains, and there is a long and narrow flat channel on the coastline.

It connects kevlavik and Reykjavik.

In other words, after they landed, the tens of thousands of American soldiers in the Icelandic capital would certainly come stinking, and when they came, they would certainly go this way.

Their task, of course, is to block the narrow gap in the passage, not to let the Americans rush to the peninsula plain, and eliminate the main force of the American army in the war.

This is a hard fight. Their action must be fast!

One tank after another, with Tiger tanks as the guide, Panther 2 tank in the middle, amphibious tanks and infantry combat vehicles in the end, the huge mechanized troops began to move towards this channel without stopping in the whole landing site.

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

Damn it, the Germans chose to find their own trouble at this time. Their side is a mess and they are not ready for any ground battle!

Now, the United States has been exhausted by the battle on the island country alone. The United States has no ability to take into account the direction of the Atlantic Ocean and guard Iceland. Although there are 40000 troops, almost all of them are recruits!

What's more, they don't have heavy equipment at all.
