In the early days of World War II, the U.S. Marine Corps was still a branch of arms that received little attention.
Just look at the weapons. In 1933, the U.S. Army had completely changed its m1917a4 air-cooled heavy machine gun. Throughout World War II, the production of this machine gun was extremely huge. How big can it be? When charging, there was no problem with all the people.
Under such a huge output, the US Marine Corps still uses the old m1917a1 heavy machine gun with water-cooled barrel, which is extremely heavy.
The Marine Corps was ignored. It was not until it had to land across the sea in World War II that it carried out a large-scale expansion. Later, it was almost incorporated into the army under the conspiracy of the army.
Now, the main guard of Iceland is the troops of the US Marine Corps.
For the United States, Iceland is not used to guard. Iceland is just a springboard. Their mission is to land on the English channel, land on the European continent and restore peace in the old world.
Under this strategy, the Marines are the first arms to bear the brunt. They open up landing sites, they attack forward, and the army behind them can move up calmly.
At present, the first marine division and the third Marine Division are mainly guarding Iceland.
The 1st Marine Division was originally the team of the Marine Corps. It was the first elite force in the United States to conduct special training in landing warfare. Their combat effectiveness was the strongest. However, a large number of excellent and well-trained officers and sergeants of the division were transferred to serve as the backbone of the newly established 2nd and 3rd Marine divisions.
At present, most of the members of the 1st Marine Division are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness can no longer be compared with that of the old 1st division,
Major General Alexander is also a major general of the Marine Corps.
"Order the 1st Marine Division to go to kevlavik immediately and defeat the Germans there!" Said Lieutenant General Alexander.
He did not dare to send out all the troops. At least half of them had to be left to guard the capital. Moreover, the situation is in chaos. How many troops can the Germans land across the sea at one time?
What if the Germans feint there and the real target is their own side?
In a hurry, the garrison of the 1st Marine Division was also in a mess.
They are recruits. They come to Iceland to garrison and train. In a non combat state, many soldiers are not in the army. They use their vacation time to have a good time with the women near the camp.
Now, the horn of emergency assembly sounded in the whole base. Major general van der grift, the division commander, stood on the top of a truck, took the horn and shouted to his troops: "hurry, get on the bus nearby, hurry!"
There are no heavy weapons in the Marine Corps' equipment. On the one hand, tanks and other weapons in the United States are given priority to the army. On the other hand, their task is to rush to the beach and land by landing craft. Those heavy equipment cannot follow the landing craft.
When Germany has been equipped with a series of landing equipment, the equipment of the U.S. Marine Corps is still very backward. After all, it is good that the United States can maintain it before the time of counter attack.
There are no tanks, only light weapons. At the same time, they are fully equipped with cars. When the American war machine starts, their industrial strength is incomparably strong, and the output of cars is quite huge.
Many soldiers could not find their immediate commander in the panic. The formation of the unit was almost disrupted, but major general van der grift didn't have so much time.
As a Marine Corps, he knew that in the early stage of landing, he was the weakest. Once he held the beachhead and pushed inland, it would be difficult to fight them back.
Now is the time!
As a result, a large number of soldiers were advised to get into the car like dumplings, fill it up and drive away. In the back, there were sleepy soldiers, some of whom didn't even take a gun!
If you were still your former team, you would be ready now! Major general van der grift was quite upset.
At this time, Colonel hunter was sitting in the front car, holding a submachine gun in his hand and looking anxiously ahead.
As the head of the 5th Marine Regiment, he took the lead. At this time, they must fight bravely!
His face was all anxious, and the situation was obviously not optimistic.
The engines of trucks from all over the world rumbled and bumped on the road. On their right side, they could see the waves beating the coast, and the moist air blew on Colonel hunter's face.
Soon we arrived at Cape Lecha peninsula. There was a small arc turn on the road in front. The road turned north and went straight to kevlavik.
Just after turning the corner, Colonel hunter saw countless black smoke rising, and his face changed greatly in an instant: "stop, set up the position immediately!"
Those black smoke, too obvious, are German tanks, which came out when the diesel engine was working. The Germans came so fast that they had organized a huge tank force!
Generally speaking, the first people to land on the coast will be infantry. Who knows that there are tank troops now. At this time, everyone's hearts are tense.
What tank is it? If you are a German amphibious tank, don't be too afraid. Facts have proved that the armor of that tank is quite weak in order to have the ability to float on the water. You can kill it with your own anti tank gun!
The cars on the road had no time to avoid, so they had to stay here. The soldiers behind quickly jumped down to the left and hurriedly arranged a line of defense.
The right side can't be arranged, because the right side is the beach. Blocking German tanks on the beach is almost like looking for death. At the same time, German tanks don't come along the beach. Although tanks are tracked, they are afraid of soft ground.
On the left, there is a mountain not far away. Once the situation is bad, they can drill into the mountain.
Now, what they need is to organize the defense line!
Tall John baslon ran behind a stone on the side of the road, where he quickly prepared his Boyce anti tank gun.
If it were the U.S. Army, it could now push out all kinds of artillery, but the Marines haven't. They have only flesh and blood, and the only artillery are fixed on the coastline of Reykjavik as firepower points, ready to stop the German landing at any time.
If anti tank guns don't work, they can only use anti tank grenades, which means they have to pay a huge price for casualties!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
