Chapter 483 Allied Airborne

"Everyone knows that over the past month, I have deployed one million elite German troops drawn from the Eastern Front to the Ardennes Forest, and 1.15 million German troops drawn from other EU countries have also concentrated in the Ardennes Forest, and 100 reserves drawn from Germany were also deployed on the Maginot Line. In addition, the twenty-three elite German troops in the mountainous areas of northern Italy are also on the Godardan.

Let's see if this looks like a huge pocket. We just have to wait for the Allies to land and let them rush to the Maginot Line. Whether they land in Calais or Normandy, it is not that important. As long as we make them pay a heavy price when they land.

If the Allies do not land, how can we destroy them? Our tanks do not have wings and cannot fly to the English Channel, dear colleagues, right?

As for whether the Allies landed in Calais or Normandy, it can be verified tonight, because the Allies will first carry out airborne in the landing area. Marshal Gluck, I will now allocate you the four armored divisions to you for full command. These armored divisions must first ensure the safety of the bridges and roads behind Normandy.

At the same time, I have a very special order for you, that is, your tank cannot rush to the coast, and it is best not to enter the range of Allied naval guns, as this can prevent our tank from being bombarded by Allied naval guns, and will not drive the damn Allied troops out of the sea to feed sharks."

"Haha...well, my commander-in-chief, Gluck promises to complete the mission."

"Well... Here is a detailed plan, which contains the specific combat steps and retreat routes of your troops. The operation code for this battle is... Troy.

The purpose of the battle is to severely damage landing, resist step by step, retreat in an orderly manner, gradually consume, lure the enemy into depth, and finally surround and annihilate it.

Everything is for Germany, everyone is working hard.”

"Hi! Hitler."

Half an hour before landing on June 6, "Gabau" reported to Germany that the Allies were launching an attack on Normandy. This time was carefully designed by Biwan, and Germany had no time to respond when it received the information.

All of this information was transferred to Li Mo in time, and these double-faced spies are still practicing. And now it is not the time for Li Mo to expose them. Li Mo wants to let the Allies know that he has been deceived by them.

Then "Gabao" sent a report to Germany for 120 minutes, reporting in detail that 40 divisions of the Allied First Army Group were entering a state of war, and a large number of landing ships were gathering in Dover. The real landing was about to begin. Li Mo was too lazy to pay attention to these false information.

The mission of the Allied Airborne troops in the Normandy landing was to land in shallow depth 10 to 15 kilometers away from the coast on both sides of the landing beachhead. They prevented reinforcements from the enemy reserves and attacked the German coastal defense positions from the side and back to cooperate with the sea landing.

Since the Allies only landed 6 to 8 infantry divisions in the first one or two days, the armored divisions were put into combat only after establishing a large landing field for the armored division to deploy. If the German army broke through the defense line of the landing force before the armored forces landed, it would cause a catastrophe to land. Therefore, the operation of the airborne troops was crucial to landing victory in the early stages of the landing.

The airborne troops participating in the war were the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne Division, and the 6th Airborne Division of the British Army. These are all the Allied airborne forces in Europe. The US 9th Transportation Plane Wing and two British transport brigades are responsible for air transportation. There are 1,800 transport aircraft and 1,200 gliders.

Taking 15 airports in southern Britain as departure airports, the airborne distance is 200 to 250 kilometers. Each airborne division is divided into assault. Subsequently, there are three echelons of maritime transportation, which are composed of paratroopers and land on the parachute five hours before landing. The glider machine landing infantry regiment is the subsequent echelons and landing on the assault echelon fifteen hours after parachute parachute. The tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment in the airborne division are formed to form a follow-up echelon to consolidate the landing ground. The planned airborne time is 1:00 a.m. on June 6, and the landing time is 6:30 a.m. on June 6.

At 20:00 on June 5, the Allied forces dispatched 2,775 bombers to land 96 kilometers on the Normandy coast and dropped 9,267 tons of bombs on the front, conducting direct aviation fire preparations for two hours. Due to the heavy night and the bad weather, the expected results were not achieved, and it only played a temporary suppression effect on the German defensive positions.

At 22:00, the Allied forces took off two batches of aircraft. The first batch of 24 airdropped 2,000 fake paratroopers and an eight-person special team in the vast areas of Le Havre to Lesse at 1:00 on the 6th. The fake paratroopers automatically ignited firecrackers as soon as they landed. After the special team landed, they set up audio simulators to make pre-recorded gunshots, cannon sounds, officers' orders, soldiers' speeches, cars driving and other sounds, causing airborne sounds everywhere.

German troops from all over the country reported to the command center. For a time, the German command received a large number of reports, some reported that the Allied airborne troops landed, and some reported that the Allied airborne fake paratroopers were difficult to distinguish between true and false, which seriously interfered with the judgment of the German command. The second batch of 26 aircraft, each carrying 13 people, was airborne in each designated area at 0:16 on the 6th. Except for two groups being wiped out by the German army, one group did not arrive in time, and the other twenty-three groups set up guidance signals on time to mark the airborne field to prepare for the next large-scale airborne.

At 23:00 on June 5, the assault echelons of the three airborne divisions had a total of 24 paratrooper battalions and 17,210 people, and took off on 1,038 transport planes. Eisenhower personally went to the departure airport of the 82nd Airborne Division to make a strong journey to the soldiers on the expedition.

All aircraft have three white bars as identification marks on the vertical tail wings, and are densely formed by nine-machine-style fonts, forming an echelon with 36 to 45 aircraft, with a flight altitude of 1,500 to 1,800 meters. Due to the harsh weather during the voyage, the formation deviates from the scheduled route and the formation is chaotic.

Arriving over Normandy, the sky was shot by German anti-aircraft weapons, which increased the parachuting altitude from the predetermined 150 meters to 500 meters, the flight speed increased from 180 kilometers to 330 kilometers, and the ground wind speed was as high as 10 to 15 meters per second, so the paratroopers landed very scattered, and many people were injured during landing.

In addition, the German army opened the gate of the Kotton Dam in advance, and the river flooded a large area of ​​grass. Aerial reconnaissance did not find that the grass was covered by the grass was no longer the grass but the swamp. Many paratroopers who were expected to land on the grass fell into the swamp. Although the paratroopers encountered a lot of trouble during the landing, they still started fighting immediately as planned.

When the landing started on June 6, Biwan's strategic deception entered a new stage, creating the illusion that the Allies were about to land in Calais. In the statements on the landing of Normandy, Biwan had carefully planned content, and the lines vaguely suggested that there would be another greater victory. Only the leader of the free France, De Gaulle, could not suppress his excitement, put aside Biwan's speech and made a passionate speech. Unexpectedly, these true and false speeches confused the German Command. Hitler quickly called Li Mo to reinforce Calais, but Li Mo turned a blind eye to Hitler's orders and began to joke internationally.
