Retreat!

Major general van der grift made the decision to retreat, and he knew it was too late when German rockets came to his position.

If they were not the Marines lacking equipment, but the main infantry division of the United States, if they had a certain number of tanks, maybe they could save the situation and drive the Germans into the sea.

But they didn't. They were just a group of infantry. They have only light weapons. Relying on their flesh and blood, they have blocked the Germans for a while, which is their greatest ability. Now, they can only retreat.

Move back!

Many people have been sleeping here, and the living began to retreat towards the rear.

Major general van der grift made the last mistake in his military command career. If he ordered his troops to drill into the mountains, he could save the remaining troops, but he didn't. He just ordered everyone to retreat. Although he knew that there were German people blocking his way behind, he still tried to make an impact, Maybe it rushed away at once.

Moreover, up to now, how many people are still unknown.

Only the soldiers of the logistics transport team were contacted. The troops he sent out to the rear to eliminate were badly damaged by planes in the sky. Later, they did not rush to the so-called German position behind.

Maybe, as he inferred, there were only a small group of troops behind.

In this way, with the rest of the people, he embarked on the road of no return.

At this time, the soldiers of the third air assault regiment have completed the deployment of the whole fortification. They dig Fortifications on both sides, facing both the retreating enemy in the West and the reinforcements that may come from the capital in the northeast.

A lot of machine guns were put up and rocket propelled grenades were carried one by one. Just as they were in full battle, the Americans rushed over.

"Attention, close the shot. Don't shoot at a distance of less than 300 meters!"

At this time, the sun has slid to the West and it is going to be dark. If the Americans charge again after dark, they may be able to run back to some. But now they have every chance.

"Come on, come on, Reykjavik's garrison will come out to meet us. As long as we pass the front, we can see our army!"

All the people ran together, even major general van der grift was no exception. Their cars were almost bombed by a rocket attack just now. Those cars that were lucky enough to be intact were also unable to move because of the potholes in the road.

They could only run back. At this time, there were the cars of the bombed transport team in front of them.

"Sir, there may be an ambush ahead." Said an assistant next to van der grift.

An ambush?

Van der grift took out his telescope and looked into the distance. He didn't seem to see anything unexpected.

The German defense line was so cleverly arranged that it could not be seen from a distance. Moreover, it was getting dark.

What's more terrible is that there are German tanks chasing after them. If they are slow and caught up by German tank forces, they will be in trouble.

"It's all right. Keep moving."

An American soldier, disheartened, trotted all the way, carrying his rifle. They kept getting closer and closer to the German line of defense.

Where are the Germans?

It must be just a small group of troops, maybe parachuted, that's all.

Just then, suddenly, there was a terrible sound all around.

On the front position, there was a sound like a chainsaw, and machine guns fired a violent shower of bullets, pouring down on the American soldiers.

In an instant, the soldiers running in front screamed and fell down. They narrowly escaped from German gunfire, but now they were shot by German machine guns.

The soldiers behind fell down in an instant. Van der grift hid behind a stone, raised his telescope and looked ahead.

A long line of defense appeared in his eyes. Sure enough, the logistics troops didn't lie. There were at least thousands of troops opposite. It was very difficult for their own side to rush over. They were all automatic firepower.

At this time, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the mountains in the East, and the planes in the strange reports flew out.

What are the advantages of helicopters? Of course, they can hover and take off and land vertically. When there is no battle, they simply stop behind the mountain and hide themselves perfectly. Now, when the battle begins, they start immediately and then rush over from the sky.

Helicopters, like falcons, flew over.

These helicopters are equipped by the Marine Corps, which greatly improves their convenience.

In the past, they had to call air support. There was a set of process, and the aircraft in the air could not be waiting here all the time. However, their own helicopter was on call.

Compared with later armed helicopters, the fire control system is quite backward and primitive. There are no anti tank missiles, only a few rockets and poor mobility.

At the same time, some helicopters have emptied rockets, leaving only a machine gun mounted on the side of the fuselage.

Unlike the ground attack aircraft, such as the professional hs129, they are equipped with fixed machine guns, which adjust the direction with the action of the fuselage.

But the helicopter can't. the helicopter often hovers and shoots directly, which requires the turret to rotate. Although Germany has adopted the form of remote-control turret on the B-29, it is too complex and has not completed the task of integration.

On the contrary, it is quite easy to install an Mg machine gun directly on the side of the cabin. At this time, machine gunner Phillips has completed the transformation of his responsibilities. He stood on the cabin door, tied his body with a seat belt, and then installed his machine gun on the shelf already prepared. He came with the helicopter.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" As he pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the machine gun burst into flames, and 7.92 mm bullets shot into the ground. For him, everyone on the ground was not covered.

Where the bullets went, it was a mess. A famous soldier trembled, burst out snowflakes and fell down.

The American soldiers on the ground immediately panicked and jumped horribly. The bullets flying from their heads can destroy all of them! This way, it seems quite overbearing.
