13 The British 3 Division who vomited blood

So the Allies were racking their brains. To be honest, the British were so panicked, afraid that Rommel would suddenly go crazy and attack, and that would make everything go wrong.

And the arrangement of the real offensive plan is also very difficult.

War is just like what the Chinese say, and we need to consider the right time, place, and people.

Why does the commander need a staff team?

You're OK if you say it?

Not so.

This time, the landing must meet the needs of all military branches.

For example, the army must be convenient for landing at high tide, which can reduce the time when troops are exposed to the beach; the navy must be landing at low tide to minimize the damage to landing craft by obstacles; the air force also requires moonlight to facilitate airborne troops to identify ground targets.

What about this?

It has to be done if it is not easy!

Since we are going to fight, the staff team must scientifically formulate plans that meet the various military branches based on the above.

Since landing between high and low tides, the tides at the five beaches are different, they have to calculate five different landing moments.

Therefore, the landing day was finally arranged on the day of the full moon.

Since the airdrop time is still in the early morning.

Then there are only two consecutive days for the login date that meets the above conditions in mid-June 1944.

From June 5th to 7th, from June 18th to 20th, Eisenhower finally decided to choose the first day of the first group, that is, June 5th.

So, the war really began at this time!

This day is called D Day by internal and later generations.

The week after the Pacific Fleet Commander Rogers once again suppressed the army's fighting spirit.

With the arrival of D-Day, the Normandy landing has finally officially begun.

First, on the Western Front, on the night of the landing, the 101th Airborne Division of the United States 82 and Wakanda airborne near the town of Our Lady (Stere-Egli) to occupy the road to the coast and prevent the enemy from strengthening coastal defense.

Because the next day as planned, Shet's Bison 1st Army would arrive there.

Meanwhile, the 4th Division of the 7th Army, under the cover of the 3rd Division of the Wakanda Air Division, landed on Utah Beach near the Dunes of Fariville, and the 1st Division of the 5th Army and part of the 29th Division to the east, landed on Omaha Beach near Vieville.

The 5th Army, which had successfully landed, expanded its beachhead position, and the 7th Army crossed the Cotaiin Peninsula, occupied Cherbourg south, and then rushed south to occupy St. Louis.

Once they occupied the St. Louis and St. Louis-Perill Highway, Schett's 1st Army was ready to use mechanized forces to carry out offensive operations.

Then the famous Big Mouth General Patton's 3rd Army entered the battlefield.

In fact, he was nominally opposite Calais at this time.

Patton marched directly to the Brittany Peninsula, he was responsible for occupying Brest and other ports, and would be responsible for the security of his right wing when the 1st Army attacked Paris,

That's right, Han Huaiyi wants Paris!

Otherwise, what would he be talking about for Free France at the Tehran Conference?

The above is the battle on the Western Front.

On the Eastern Front.

The 2nd British Army was launched between Bayeo and Caen, and the 6th British Airborne Division airborne near the mouth of Caen and Orn before the H-hour of his own troops, occupying the northeast wing of the combat zone.

The 50th Division of the 30th British Army landed on the Gold (GOLD) beach near Bayeux.

The 1st Army attacked east in two routes.

While the Canadian 3rd Division landed on Juno Beach? The British 3rd Division landed on SWORD Beach.

As for the British army's air cover, it was their own business? Wakanda had no time to help.

After the successful landing, the troops quickly occupied the main traffic routes so that the armored troops could be deployed.

After the battle started, the Germans were stunned.

Because Rommel's power is also attracted to the Calais scam where "Barton" is located.

But Rommel is too late to attack now.

It depends on the situation to surround Wei and save Zhao.

First of all, his troops could not conquer Britain, and secondly, the Allied forces were so great that they came to the lifeline of the Germans.

He can only find a way to put out the fire.

But he is still 200 kilometers away from the battlefield? And Berlin is still in the ink tracks!

Germany during World War II? In the late stage, no one trusted Adolf.

His favorite is to command the commander at the top and give orders a few blindly.

Given this slow response, the German army organized a counterattack on the D-Day-Day only the Armored Division stationed near Juno Beach.

But the Allies advanced together.

Especially when the battle started, the commander of the armored division was not in the command post, and the chief of staff had no right to mobilize the assembly troops, so he had to send the only 24 No. 4 tanks in his hand to attack the British army east of Caen.

Because of hasty dispatch, insufficient preparation, and no infantry support, these tanks were easily repelled by the British army.

It was not until the afternoon of that day that division commander Fischdinger rushed back to the division headquarters.

He panickedly assembled his subordinates to launch an attack on the town of Luke between Juno Beach and Arrow Beach. At that time, the Allies were actually mainly British and Canadian troops, and there were still thousands of meters of gaps between these two beaches. The German counterattack was at the critical point of the Allies and brought considerable difficulties to the Allies.

But just as the Armored Division was marching, 500 transport planes from Wakanda suddenly flew overhead.

They reluctantly came to transport follow-up troops and supplies to the British 6th Airborne Division? Fischtinger, who was not in a spirit of war, mistakenly believed that the Allied parachutes were trying to attack his troops from the front and back. In panic, he was in a state of panic and he simply gave up the counterattack and retreated in a hurry.

Seeing the movement below, this air force in Wakanda was also shameless.

Report directly to the Allied Headquarters: "We destroyed the only counterattack of the Germans with our shadow."

The British Third Division and Canadians, who were actually quite hard to fight, almost vomited blood, but isn't this true?

In addition, the German army did not fight back on Day D.

The sky gradually became brighter and the situation was completely clear.

The first half of the Normandy landing was successful, and Eisenhower began to turn his attention to Rommel's division in Calais.

Then he told Muharov, who commanded the Wakanda Air Force, "General, can I give it to you?"

"No problem." Muhazov began to mobilize the air force in the direction of the enemy to help and prepare for combat.

6th.

The ground war continues.

Although the five armies advanced together, the Allied forces were still very cautious.

So this day was a long day for the coalition forces.

Because they have to complete all the scheduled plans to truly gain a foothold in France.

For Rommel, this day was the most critical 24 hours for the whole of Germany.

But he could only watch.

It was not until the next day, June 7, 1944 that Adolf handed over the command of the five armored divisions of the Western Armored Cluster to Rommel.

But Rommel, who was already desperate, said to this, I can go to yours.
Chapter completed!
