Elbo Beach is a flat beach on Bermuda Island. Although there is no pier, it is very close to Hamilton, the largest city on the island, only a few kilometers away. If German Marine Corps successfully logs in here, then he can launch an attack on Hamilton. After capturing Hamilton, the rest of 1st Marine Division's troops can continue to disembark through the port. By then, German military will easily sweep through the entire Bermuda Island and Bermuda Islands.
US Marine Corps In the entire Bermuda Islands, there is only one group. Except for the 3rd Battalion, which was deployed on St. David's Island and St. George's Island respectively, the rest of the troops were concentrated on Bermuda Island.
Elbo Beach has also become a beach that US Marine Corps focuses on defense. On this beach, US Marine Corps deployed a full battalion of troops.
However, in the fierce shelling before German Navy, the United States 3rd Marine Division 2nd Regiment 2nd Battalion stationed here had already suffered heavy losses. Their defense zone was as if it had been plowed through by German military with artillery fire. Not only were the fortifications completely destroyed, but the casualties were also very high. Among the three Infantry Company, two have already suffered more than half of their casualties. The remaining company also suffered considerable losses. Battalion Headquarters Company and the firearms company also suffered heavy losses. Not only were a lot of equipment destroyed by German Navy's artillery fire, but the casualties were also huge.
"God! What is that?" A US Marine Corps soldier was stunned as a helicopter flew toward them in the sky.
Although German Army has heavily invested in helicopter operations on the Buru battlefield. However, it was the first time for Germany to use this weapon on the Atlantic Ocean battlefield.
"Those Germany people's new airplanes? But why don't they have wings?"
"Idiot, that's the Germany people's helicopter! Open fire and shoot down their helicopter. Otherwise, we will be dead!" A company commander cursed loudly.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Several machine guns on the position began to fire at the helicopters in the air, trying to shoot down these helicopters.
However, the leading group are armed helicopters with relatively thick armor. It is very difficult for ordinary machine guns to penetrate the vital points and shoot down these armed helicopters. Unless it is Heavy Machine Gun or Anti-aircraft Gun with a diameter of 12.7 mm. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to shoot down these aircraft with just ordinary machine guns and rifles.
"Boohoo!"
An armed helicopter opened fire, and the hanging Rocket Pod began to fire rockets.
Dense rockets fell on the US military position, covering almost the entire position. Many US soldier were torn into pieces in the explosion.
Each German Marine Corps amphibious assault ship can carry up to 40 helicopters. Including 12 armed helicopters, 12 utility helicopters and 12 transport helicopters respectively. There are also four helicopters on standby. The dock landing ship can carry up to six helicopters, namely two armed helicopters, two utility helicopters and two transport helicopters.
German Navy's amphibious assault ship and dock landing ship took off all armed helicopters in the first batch. A total of 16 armed helicopters were enough to massacre the U. S. troops on the entire beach.
Subsequent utility helicopters and transport helicopters also took off one after another. These helicopters were equipped with heavily armed soldiers. They will cooperate with the Marine Corps on the landing craft to break through the US military's defense line on the island in one fell swoop.
"Sir, the position of the 3rd company was violently attacked by the Germany people. They dispatched a large number of helicopters. The 3rd company suffered heavy losses and is about to be unable to hold on." An officer reported to the battalion commander.
"Damn it, do the Germany people really want to land from us? Order the 3rd company to hold on no matter what. Let the 2nd company rush to reinforce immediately. Battalion Headquarters Company and the firearms company, deal with the helicopters of the Germany people!" the major battalion commander ordered.
"Da da da!"
Faced with the attack by German military helicopters, the US military suffered heavy losses. However, they did not give up resistance. In particular, Battalion Headquarters Company and the firearms company are equipped with rockets and Heavy Machine Gun. Among them, Battalion Headquarters Company is equipped with 3 Anti-tank Gun, 4 machine guns and 8 rocket launchers. The firearms company is equipped with 6 81mm mortars, 11 Heavy Machine Gun and 7 rocket launchers.
"Da da da!"
Two 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun are attacking a helicopter of German military. These two Heavy Machine Guns were hidden and were not discovered. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by German military's helicopter with rockets.
The dense bullets shrouded the helicopter like a downpour. The 12.7 mm Heavy Machine Gun bullet was so powerful that it easily left the helicopter riddled with holes.
"God! We've been hit, pull up immediately and get out of here!" the helicopter pilot Panic roared.
But it's too late.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, and flames quickly enveloped the entire helicopter.
It was the fuel tank that was hit, causing the fire.
The entire helicopter fell directly to the ground like a fireball.
"Haha, we shot down Germany's helicopter!"
"Long live, long live!"
The US soldiers on the ground all cheered.
Before, when German military helicopters massacred them, these US soldier not only suffered heavy losses, but also suffered a huge loss of morale and were almost on the verge of collapse.
Now, they actually shot down a helicopter of the Germany people, which undoubtedly made them cheer.
However, they seemed to be happy too early. The war has just begun. The US military has only shot down one German military helicopter. It is still a long time before they defeat German military.
"Damn, go to hell, Americans!" Another armed helicopter immediately launched an attack.
"Boohoo!"
The rockets roared down and quickly enveloped the two Heavy Machine Guns of the US military. In the violent explosion, the two Heavy Machine Guns were blown into parts, and the machine gunners were all torn into pieces.
"Da da da!"
Facing the attack from German military helicopters, the US military on the ground also continued to fight back. They used Heavy Machine Gun, light machine guns and even rifles to attack these helicopters. But the effect is very limited.
Countless US soldier were hit and killed by German military helicopters with rockets or machine guns. These helicopters of German military have even dominated this battlefield. The US military suffered heavy losses under the attack of German military helicopters and was completely targeted for massacre.
When the armed helicopters showed off their skills and massacred US soldier, the utility helicopters and transport helicopters that took off later also arrived on the battlefield.
