The 2000 horsepower engine was rumbling. In this huge sound, the nose of hummingbird 2 helicopter was slightly lower, and the whole plane began to fly forward.

For a helicopter, the top rotor not only generates lift, but also generates forward power. This power is realized by changing the direction of the top propeller. When the overall plane of the propeller tilts forward, the air flow blown out by it is downward and backward, which provides both upward and forward force.

Completely different from other fixed wing aircraft, this kind of aircraft immediately attracted some strange eyes after being equipped in the German army. It's really interesting!

At the same time, it gave the German army a new combat style.

It is similar to parachuting, but when parachuting, the troops are scattered, and it is not easy to assemble again. Helicopters can be used not only as a means of transportation, but also as support firepower.

Now the hummingbird No. 2 helicopter is completely versatile. In addition to flying, it also has a rocket launcher on its short wing, and the aviation rockets hanging on it can effectively hit the ground.

One after another, 10 helicopters took off from each amphibious attack ship, and 40 helicopters formed a large fleet, heading towards the target on the sea.

At the same time, with their take-off, the second batch of helicopters were quickly lifted to the deck by the elevator and could continue to fly soon.

Lucas looked up and looked at the sky. The fw190 fighters taking off from the attack aircraft carrier were about 500 meters higher than their altitude and were flying behind them.

A basic prerequisite for the use of helicopters is that the sky belongs to one's own side, that is, the helicopter can be launched for cross sea landing only when the air control is seized.

In fact, not only helicopters, but also ordinary other landing methods, are the first to seize air control, which is the first step in the war.

Now in Iceland, there are almost no American planes that can take off, and the German Navy is still worried that the fw190 fighters that flew in advance will hover over habuna feioze to help guard the landing site.

In their eyes, the helicopter is too slow, and the maximum speed is less than 200 kilometers per hour. However, as an opponent, it becomes more difficult to shoot down the helicopter.

This is the same as that it is difficult for jet aircraft to shoot down propeller aircraft with air guns. This is determined by the huge speed difference. The pilot wants to shoot the target with a set of complex procedures. After tracking stably and judging the target route in advance, he can finally shoot down the other party.

Therefore, the most common way of machine gun air combat is to tail after, catch up from behind, track stably and then fire.

But the helicopter is different. It is too slow and will hover at any time. In this way, nine times out of ten the bullets of the machine gun will fail, because all the prejudices will be wrong.

Of course, helicopters are not used for air combat. They have their own stage.

Habunafioze, located on the only way from Reykjavik to Cape Recha Peninsula, was originally a small seaside village, but today, it has become the most concerned place.

The helicopter rumbled by, and the American garrison didn't notice it at all.

The 1st Marine Division, which has been dispatched for a long time, has started from here, laying minefields in front of here, while the remaining defenders in Reykjavik in the rear have not planned to come out.

At this time, only some local Icelanders were standing outside the village, nervously looking at the terrible things flying overhead.

What's that? The rotors of ordinary aircraft are in front of the nose, but the rotors of these aircraft are overhead! What's more terrible is that these planes hovered over their heads!

These natives are not particularly afraid. After all, neither Americans nor Germans will do anything to them. Although Americans publicize how evil Germans are all day, no one has seen that they fish at sea and are not bullied by Germans.

Some bold people stayed where they were, watched these special planes land slowly, and then the wheels were in close contact with the ground.

"Come on, come on, come on!" Lucas shouted, "set up a position here and surround the Americans!"

Machine gunner Phillips picked up his machine gun and quickly ran to the side of the road. He soon found a natural gully. As long as he processed it a little, it can become a good shelter.

What is the purpose of leapfrog tactics? Of course, it's the same as the army's tactics. Encircle the other side!

When they landed here, they just blocked the rear road of the 1st Marine Division in front of the United States. When they found that their rear road was surrounded, they would be in chaos and could encircle and annihilate them all.

At the same time, they can also advance to Reykjavik and prevent Reykjavik reinforcements from coming up. In short, when they come here, they can attack and defend.

There were more than a dozen people on each of the 40 helicopters. In the first batch, they came up with more than 500 people. When the later helicopters came up, there would be more than 1000 people.

When the helicopter returns and comes back for the second time, almost the whole regiment can be transported.

If you only look at the number of people, it seems that they are not many. The combat regiment with only more than 2000 people is almost infantry. It seems that they have little combat effectiveness, but don't forget that they still have helicopter support that can be called at any time! After transporting all the personnel, the 80 helicopters will provide ground support, which is equivalent to 80 tanks flying in the air!

Definitely more powerful than the Armored Regiment on the ground!

"Attention, find the American motorcade, ready to attack!" Cried Lucas.

After putting down these soldiers, the helicopter flew away. There were only two or three fighters circling in the sky. In order to avoid accidental injury, they did not come down to attack the ground.

They just informed the ground personnel by radio of the observed situation.

From the road to the west, a motorcade came!

This is the logistics unit of the 1st Marine Division. After the main force goes up, they need to go back and forth constantly to transport ammunition. This is not a wide coastal highway, which is busy immediately.

At this time, they had just transported a round of ammunition and were returning. They almost got rid of the terrible gunfire. When they came to the road here, they saw from a distance that the road in front was blocked, and a force was building Fortifications on both sides of the road!

At this point, the team made a wrong judgment.

Obviously, these are our own people. Unexpectedly, they have arranged fortifications layer by layer, and they are all here? That can't cut the road!

"Hey, what's the front part? Who told you to do that? " In the front car, the soldier on the co pilot's side put his head out and shouted this way.

When he had just finished shouting, he suddenly felt something wrong. Those people didn't come out to meet them. They hid their bodies behind the bunker and pointed guns at them at the same time!

That's German!

Damn it, God, who will explain how the Germans suddenly appeared in front of themselves! Haven't the Germans been blocked by the 1st Marine Division in the west of the peninsula? How did it appear in the rear?

At this time, no one answered him. The Germans greeted them with a dense hail of bullets!
