Chapter 1620: Occupy (ask for a monthly ticket)
As the follow-up general-purpose helicopters and transport helicopters also arrived over the battlefield, the German firepower became even stronger. This also made the U.S. troops on the battlefield completely suppressed by the Germans, and the entire battlefield was under the control of the Germans.
"Start landing soldiers!" The commander of the German army gave an order.
Armed helicopters and utility helicopters patrol the battlefield, attacking the U.S. troops on the ground. And those transport helicopters began to descend after confirming that the ground was safe.
When these transport helicopters landed on the ground, the doors opened. The heavily armed marines filed out from the helicopter and entered the battle.
"Oh my God! The Germans landed in such a way!" an American officer exclaimed.
"Fire and destroy the German helicopter!"
"Phew!"
A rocket launcher opened fire, and a rocket trailed a long flame and rushed towards a transport helicopter that had just released the soldiers.
"God! American rockets, take off!"
However, it was too late. The rocket hit the transport helicopter. The weak armor was torn apart in the explosion, and the helicopter\'s fuel tank was ignited in the explosion. The entire transport helicopter burned into a burning fireball. The crew members were burned alive inside.
"Damn, pay attention to safety, suppress those Americans!"
"Shhhhhh!"
The German armed helicopters also began to attack, using the remaining rockets to destroy the American officers and soldiers hiding on the battlefield.
General-purpose helicopters are also firing. Although these general-purpose helicopters are not as powerful as armed helicopters, in addition to the aviation machine guns equipped, a crew member opened the hatch and fired at the ground with the heavy machine guns installed there. The dense bullets were shot at the ground like a torrential rain, and those American soldiers who tried to stand up were shot and fell to the ground without dying. The rest of the American soldiers had to hide again, not daring to stand up again.
The German marines who had completed the landing began to attack the U.S. troops on the ground with the assistance of helicopters. Of course, those American soldiers were very brave and tried to resist. However, under the firepower from the ground and the air, these US troops could not resist at all.
A few minutes later, the marines in the landing craft also washed up on the beach. On the battlefield at this moment, the US military has been completely suppressed. This made it impossible for them to intercept the German marines from the sea.
As more and more German marines successfully landed on the beach, this made the US troops stationed on this beach completely desperate.
After being surrounded by the superior forces of the German army, the remaining US troops chose to surrender to the German army. The entire beach fell into the hands of the Germans.
After occupying Elbo Beach, the 1st Division of the German Marine Corps began a large-scale landing. Landing craft and helicopters, to and from the landing craft and transport ships, sent a large number of marines to Bermuda.
At the same time, several tank landing ships also appeared on the beach. Although, these tank landing ships cannot drive directly to the beach. But they can drive not far from the beach.
After the bulkhead in front of the tank landing ship was opened, amphibious tanks began to sail into the sea and head for the beach.
When other heavy weapons of the Marine Corps cannot go ashore, these amphibious tanks will become a sharp weapon for the German Marine Corps to capture the entire Bermuda Islands.
Each tank landing ship can carry 18 heavy tanks. Four tank landing ships can carry a full tank battalion.
When the 1st Amphibious Tank Battalion landed, the German Marine Corps began a new round of offensive. The German marines set out from Elbo Beach and advanced in two directions, north and south.
With the assistance of its own naval gunfire, helicopters, and tanks, the US Marine Corps could not resist the German attack at all. In addition, the U.S. military is already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and now it is even more suppressed in terms of weapons and equipment. The outcome of this battle seems to have been decided.
"General, we can\'t defend anymore. The Germans\' offensive is too fierce. They have received fire support from a large number of warships on the sea, as well as helicopters and tanks. Our losses are very large, and we can\'t resist their attack. It\'s gone." A US colonel reported to Brigadier General Jonathan.
Brigadier General Jonathan\'s face was pale, even though he had expected that under the fierce attack of the German army, it would be impossible for them to hold the Bermuda Islands. However, he did not expect the failure to come so quickly.
"How long can we last?" Brigadier General Jonathan asked.
"General, in terms of the attack speed of the German army, we can last for up to two hours. Of course, St. David Island and St. George Island may be able to last longer because no Germans have landed yet. However, We have only one battalion of troops on St. David Island and St. George Island. Once the German army lands in large numbers, they will be defeated soon." The colonel said.
Brigadier General Jonathan nodded, he knew that the strength gap between the two sides was too great. This made them unable to persist in the face of the powerful German army.
"Colonel, let your people continue to fight. Of course, if you really can\'t fight anymore, you can make your own choices." Brigadier General Jonathan said.
"Yes, General." The colonel nodded, and he understood what Brigadier General Jonathan meant.
Under the fierce German attack, the U.S. troops on Bermuda did not last long. Just an hour later, the U.S. forces on Bermuda surrendered to the Germans. The Germans completely occupied the island.
Subsequently, the 1st Division of the German Marine Corps concentrated its forces and launched landing operations on St. David Island and St. George Island respectively.
The US military has fewer troops on these two islands, and it is even more unable to withstand the German attack.
Soon, the U.S. troops on these two islands were defeated and surrendered, making these two islands also fall into the hands of the German army.
It only took a few hours from the 1st Division of the German Marine Corps to launch the landing operation to occupy the entire Bermuda Islands. Moreover, the 1st Division of the German Marine Corps suffered very small losses during the battle. It can be said that this landing operation went very smoothly.
